Either harrow or work it up with a cultivator several times in the spring before planting, and the birds will each tune destroy multitudes of larvse. fiai ow in the manure or work it in with the cultivator. If a fer tilizer is used sow it bountifully broad cast, Be sure the ground is clean and well tilled before the seed is put in. Keep the surface thoroughly stirred once a week from the time it can be worked until the tassels appear. Har row just as it makes its appearance through the soil with a tine short tooth harrow that breaks the ground in the hill or drill. i TnOaE who have been in the loose practice of storing their winter fruit in cellars in which miscellaneous garden vegetables are placed, should adopt as soon as possi. ie the improvement of making lor the fruit a separate apart ment which is to contain nothing else. In some instances this may be elleoted by simply running a single bnck wall eight inches thick across the cellar, and hanging the windows so as to allow easy ventilation. If ihe bottom is too wet, mane a door of water-lime cement. A thermometer costing buy cents win show just how cold to keep this room in winier. btored and managed as we have described on former occasions, good winter apples will keep into June. * Food for the Fat.—There is little complaint among agricultural people of being too lat, but should a corpulent person desire to reduce their size the rollowing Irom the Medical Journal may help them: There are three clus ses ot food—the oils, sweets and starch es, the special (dice of which is to sup port the animal neat and produce fat, having little or no influence in promot ing btieugth of muscle or endurance, it the fat, therefore, would use less lat and more ot lean meats, dsh and fowl, less of hne tiour, and more of the whole pro duct ot the grains—except the hulls— less ot the sweets, particularly in warm v.tather, and more of the fruit acids in a mild lorm—as m apple, sleep less, be less indolent, and labor mure in the open ail, the lat would disappear to a Certain extent, at least, with uo loss of real health. DOMESTIC, There is a decided tendency toward lighter colors for carpets, for uphol stery goods, and for wall-coverings. Soft neutral tints are chosen iu carpets, and the object is to avoid all striking effects both in design and color, so that the carpet may serve as an unobtrusive background for the furniture. Black and very dark grounds are disappearing from all carpets except those for halls, libraries and dining-rooms, while those for drawiug rooms, parlors, reception rooms, chambers, and sitting rooms have subdued shades of old blue, olive, India red, sage green, ecru, or golden brown, the Terra-cotta, Sevres blue, Pompeiian rose, and imperial yellows used last year are still seen, with pearl, sky blue, and shrimp colors for the lightest grounds. The designs are small and intricate, being made up of geome tric dgures, or palms, latticed bars, tapestry patterns, conventionalized dowers of small sizes. Oriental designs copied literally from antique rugs, or else the entire carpet may be a single plain color, or a melange of many colors without any set pattern All carpets are bordered, and the same good designs and quiet colors shown in royal Axmin- sters may be found in the most inexpen sive ingrains. A Partially Dead Man. The Morning Herald, Baltimore, Md., states: Major B. 8. W hite, of this city, de- 8crii.es his miraculous cure as follows. *‘I have been a partially dead man for ten years. Doctors attributed my sufferings to the enlargement of certain glands. Toe quantity of medicine I took witnout relief would be sufficient to set up a first-class apothecary shop Finally St. Jacob’s Oil was recommended. I had my spinal column thoroughly rubbed with it. All those knots, kinks and stiffness have pass ed away, and 1 am myself again.” HUMOROUS, Another hoop-snake has been discov ered, but strange to say, the gentleman who saw it did not adhere to the con ventional form. “And you say that the snake did not roll after you,” said a man when the hoop snake man had concluded his re cital. “No, he did not roll after me.” “Ton didn’t jump behind a tree, then, just as the snake struck at you 7” “No, sir,” “And the leaves on the tree did not wither and die within two hoars ?” “No.” “My friend, here is a $20 gold piece. A man who can defy temptation, as yon have done, and stick to the truth, should be rewarded. ” The Praftenloa a Unit.

Worth Knowing.—Half ateaspoonfnl of common table salt dissolved in a lit tle cold water, and drank, will instantly relieve heartburn or dyspepsia If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the quantity gradnaliy to a teaspoontul of salt and a tumbler of water, it will in a few years cure any case of dyspt psia, if at the same time due attention is paid to tne diet.

He then set them, and nearly all lived. That orchard for sev eral years has taken the first premium of the Stale Horticultural Society, It is not possible to give the straw berry patch too much water,provided al ways that the land is so well drained as to give water free escape. This is true of nearly all farm crops, though barley is more sensitive to excess of water than any small grain. Corn is injured by excessive moisture, bnt it is more from chilling the soil than from the effects ol water itself. Farmers should experiment with all kinds of fertilizers within their reach. Quite otten there is found on some farms muck that can be profitably drawn to land adjoining or iu the near neighbor hood. The quality of muck varies so widely that lack of success with it in any place is no evidenco that other muck will fail elsewhere. The best muck con tains lime and phosphoric acid. Wherever wood ashes can be had an excellent fertiiizei may lie made by any farmer. Let him pm chase pure ground bone; mix with its weight of ashes and saturate with water. The alkali iu the ashes takes hold of the grease in the bones.and the mixture is a valuable one for any grain crop. When dried with fine ground gypsum it can be drilled in with the seed. The evidence recently supplied by the Scottish Chamber ol Agriculture as serts that the effect of June is most durable on pastures that are grazed. It lasts longer upon good than upon bad land, and Jon er U|>on clays ana heavy land than on light land. A good dres sing of lime lasts for a number of years.

Wheat.—It is said that in Poland, where ventilation and drying are contin ued for some time, wheat has been kept sound and good (Or hull a century. Its age never injures it, and such wheat is said to yield much handsomer and bet ter flour than that which is obtained from grain more recently harvested. Plow-Shares.—Those who use the old-lashioned wrought iron plow-shares and points should have the latter not tempered too much, and as it wears oil in plowing on the niftier side, bend It down by striking it with a hammer sev eral times a day.

Un less at the commencement the soil is made iu fine tilth the first growth will be very slow and great difficulty will be experienced in keeping the weeds in propersubjeotion. A dark-colored soil, neither too san dy nor too clayey, overlaying a subsoil of sandy loam, makes the best ground for vegetables. A clay subsoil always matures its crop later than a sandy or gravelly one. Land that is at all stiff or clayey can never be got in good condition if plowed or harrowed while wet.
