AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Insect Remedies. In his report on entomology to the Columbus (Uhio) Horticultural Society , W. B. Alwood states th:it many remedies ! were employed on two species of cab- I bage worms, consisting of alum water of j ditfereut degrees of strength, tansy; water, tomato water, benzine, coal oil I emulsions of dillcrent strengths, Ham- ( Imonci s slug snot, cayenne pepper, u?ii i a dozen remedies from England, several j preparations of tobacco soap and py- ! rethrum. None proved of any value except the tobacco soaps and pyrethrum. The to j bacco 6oaps prepared with potash were quite efficient, the value of which was j ascribed to the potash. Pyrethrum is recommended as the best j remedy, being perfectly safe, easy of ap- j plication, and more deadly on the worms j than any remedy used. Powder of good quality, mixed with three times its bulk : of flour, was found perfectly effective, j applied with a dusting bellows. One . pound, costing fifty cents, was enough : to cover an acre if properly handled.? ! New York Scours in Calves. In mild cases a raw egg beaten and given every three hours for a day ' will sometimes effect a cure. Should ) this fail, give three ounces of raw lin-' seed oil mixed with a teaspoonful of; powdered ginger. After the oil has i operated, give the following mixture: j Lime water, two ounces; infusion of ; gentian, two ounces; mixed. Give this ; dose three times a day until a cure is j effected. To prepare the lime water, ! 6tir four ounces of freshly burned lime in a gallon of water, let it settle, and pour off the clear solution for u>c. The infusion of gent an is made by boiling one ounce of bruised gentian root in a quart! of water for ten minutes, then cool and strain. The following remedy is highly recommended in verv severe cases by a correspondent of the C-untn/ Gentian in. who has cured almost hopeless cases by that treatment. Take kino, catechu, ; capsicum, rhubarb, extract erjjot, witch hazel, of eac h one ounce; shake well, together. Give a teaspoonful every two hours: watch the effect and slack off; accordingly. If the animal is so ill as J to pass li!ood and raucus with its ex- 1 cremect, take a tablespoonful of common . starch and add it to a pint or a pint and ! a half of boiling water, stirring thor-' oughly; then add a teaspoonful of laudanum. Use as an injection, making 1 three lots ot the Quantity, and at inter vals of one hour, taking care to have it about as warm as new milk.?American j Cultivator. Improvements in Agriculture. The most useful improvement of the j past year is certainly the adaptation of' the silo for the curing of sweet ensilage, j When it is known that in the State of ( Wisconsin alone more than 1,000 eilos have been buiit and brought into use the ! past year, a fair idea of the value and importance of the disco\ery how to avoid I the acid fermeutaiion ol ensilage becomes . apparent. Formerly ensilage was sour i and had an acid, alcoholic odor and flavor, j and its opponents never tired of making ; sarcastic allusions to it as sauerkraut and $our mash. No doubt the sour food was _ A ? II _ 1 1 .1 _ 1 ..1 -.V ODjecuonauie, anu nau a oau e.ieci upon the milk and butter made from cows fed , upon it. The condensers of milk found its effect very pernicious, and refused to j accept milk from dairies where it was used. By mere accident it was discovered that, when the cut fodder whs left loosely ' in the silo to ferment and acquire a lieat ' of 140? to HiOJ, and was then protected j from the air by air-tight covering and a i light pressure, it remained sweet and no j vinous or acetic fermentation occurred in it. This fact was quickly turned to ac- j count an;l its importance realized, and as , it was m;;de known at the farmers' meetings and through agricultural journals, the new process became popular, and it is probable that at least 10,00'' silos wore constructed on the improved principle within a year. Jtnsiiage is unquesuonaoiy a most convenient and economical practice, and in ; taking the place of dry curing of corn i fodder, it adds largely to the feeding j value of this, our most productive crop. ; Hence this improvement, which will i have an important bearing upon the i prosperity and profit of agriculture, is ! wortny of note as being an incident of j the past 'year's progress of considerable importance. Very sati>factory progress has been made in our knowledge and practice in \ feeding and in growing crops. The work done in the various experiment stations ha3 been productive of much valuable experience and information, while the experience of farmers gained j j the past year through the unexampled i dry season has atlorded new and m ;.st emphatic proof of the usefulness of! drainiige. The work of experiment j stations has shown the great value of these institutions, while the advantages i of the farmers' institutes have been most. conspicuously exhibited. The expcn-; en' e of the |ist year will beyond a doubt i lead to the permanency of these mc t-! ings anu a .large increase in their nam-] ber. Draining wet land has been so loug cs-! tablished as a standard farm practice tliat \ it might seem no further experience could ] add to its value. But the most serious drought, over a large part of the Central States ha3 proved its usefulness even in a dry season. The most einph itic reports have been made of the safety of the crops grown upon drained land, while those upon land n;>t drained were wholly i parched aud destroyed. Sometimes fa ts are too much for theory, and even for ecienti.lc reasoning. And it seems as though in this instance logic aud theory have been set aside by the cold bare facts. Th* reenest and most ltrolifii fields ! have been those having tiled unclerdraiu?, thus showing that the porosity of the drained soil lias absorbed moisture from the subsoil, and the porous soil Ins bceu Jess heated and has held its moisture longer than the undraincd laud. This fact is of sufficient imporiance to be mentioned as one of the notable lessous of the past year. In looking back over the past few years we find some most noteworthy improvements to record, which <>u the who.e have greatly changed tliecomlition of agriculture for the better. The binding harvesters, the silo, the drain-digging nia chines, the concentrated fertilizers, the increased means 01 iransporuu, on uy ran aad by sea, the increase of the best-breil live siotk? all ttie.se have greatly reduced the cost of producing crops and dairy and meat products: and althoug > the market values have been reduced, yet a satisfactory balance in favor of the farmer haa been left.?Neuo York Tii/us.

Green wood is more easily chopped than ?lrj word. 6 Stock, especially cows, should have plenty of roots ana fresh vegetables in winter. According to Prof. Stewart bran will balance poor fodder much better than cornmcal. Prevention of diseases rather than their cure should be tho motto ot every poultry yard. Th:? practice of thrashing corn with the common thrashing machine steadily wins its way toward popular favor. A dairyman affirms that a cellar is no i-iinon to L-ppn hnttpp on account of the odors from vegetables,ctc., Btored there. I AVe can not repeat too often that cows ! increase their yield of milk on cooked j food, and all animals thrive well upon it. j Some growers have obtained as high as six hundred bushels of onions per acre.

The Miisjuri Republican, thinks that when some particular farmer succeeds in securing better crops than his neighbors, it indie .tes that he is progressive and lias' adopted the most improved methods for success. The Stole nian declares there is no ex- j cuse or decency in having a filthy pigsty ?that it should and can be as clean and neat as the abode of any farm animal, and when found otherwise there must be something wrong with the farmers. Soot is a valuable fertilizer, but it is better to apply it to moist, cool land, than to that which is dry and warm. A small quantity of soot placed in hills of melons, squashes and pumpkins, will cause them to grow rapidly. It also kills many insects.

All kinds of food possess two values, distinct and marked, and these are the nutritive value, that is the value for feeding purposes, and the manurial value for fertilizing purpo-es. It is well for farmers to become acquainted with the chemical qua itics of the food they give their live-stock. Select the firmest and best heads of cabbage if you wish to save your own seed. Bury the heads or keep them in a place of even temperature. In the spring cut oil the stalk to within two inches of the head; cut a slicc in the heal and put the head in the ground with the top fairly exposed, and it will then shoot up to seed.

A writer in the London Oardencr'ts Mi.,nunc says a small lath loosely suspended about 18 inches above the perch where chanticleer takes his usual nightly roost will stop him from crowing in the morning.

Wonderful 1'criman Work. The siivadors or musical jug* found among the burial places of Peru are mo>t ingeniou" specimens of handiwork. A silvio iu the William S. Vaux collection at i liiladelphia consists of two vases, whose bodies arc joined one to the MLliUi v\uu ?i n 'iv> yji wvinwu tlicm. The neck of one of these vase's is closed, w;th the exception of a small opening in which a flay pipe is inserted leading to the body of a whistle. When a liquid i> poun d into the open nec ed vise the air is compres-ed into the other, and in escaping through the narrow opening is forced into the whistle, the vibrations producing sounds. Many of these sounds represent the notes of b rds; one in tho Clay collection of Philadelphia. Penu., imitates the notes of the \ robin, or some other member of the I thrush tube peculiar to Peru. The j closed neck of this double vase is modeled into a representation of a bird's he id, which is thrush-like in character. Auother water vase in the same collection, representing a llama, imitates the diPgusting habit which this animal pos scsses in ejecting its saliva when enraged. The his-ing sound which accompanies ! this action is admirably imitated. A black lube of earthenware, ornamented With a grotesque h':f?d in low relief, to which abort arms are attached pressing a three tubed syrinx to its lips (Clay col- ! lection), deserves especial mention, as it suggests the evolution of the instilment ! from a single tube to more complicated forms.

A green salad is an invaluable foil for the heavy American breakfast, as well as for the roa>t at dinner. "\\ hen properly chosen and prepared, it stimulates the appetite, favors the digestion and assimilation of fat foods and promotes the entire ailimentary process. I.cttuce, cold, boiled peas, beans, turnip?, beets, cauliflower or potatoes make good salad, with about one-fourth of their quantity of sliced onion. The best dressing for these salads is three spoonfuls of oil to one of .. n O nolnfoKln CAAGrminfT ftf V JIll^Ul, till 14 (b j^n>ui'i?uiu avww</Hi?^ v. salt iin:l pepper.

How a Haijsjis is Made. < A Scotch haggis is made of the lights, 1 liver and heart of a sheep, which is all called pluck. They come attached to the windpipe. Put it all on to boil, say for an hour and a half. It is well to let the windpipe's end hang over the pot, so that any impurities may pass out. When done, remove from the fire and allow the pi .ck to cool. Then cut away the windpipe, bits of skin or gristle nnrl all hut a nuarter of the liver. I Then add a half pound of beef suet and j chop the whole very tine. Now add two ] small eupfuls of oatmeal which has been previously dried in the oven, pepper, salt and about half a pint of the liijuor in which the plu k was boiled. Now it is ready for the bag, which must have been pro* tired from the market the day before; it is the large stomach of a sheep j and musl be lresh. As soon as possible j wash it well, first in cold water, then j plunge it into boiling water, and scrape caref.illy; then it should be allowed to soak all night in a pan of salt and water, j "When the mince is ready wash the '\ng i with cold c.ean water, and only little ! more than half till it with the mince, j for room must be left for the meal and meat to expand; if tilled, the bag would burst. Isow sew the bag up securely and pop it into a pot of boiling water, pricking it occasionally, as it swells, to allow the air to escape. If the skin appears very tli;n, tie a pudding cloth around it; boil for three hours; serve hot, without gravy or garni&h of any kind, as it is sufficiently rich of itself.? Harper3i Ba:ar. Cheerful Kitchens. Country kitchens should have a closet opening out of tliem for hanging everyday coat?, hats, umbrellas and waterproofs and the stowing away of overshoes and other belongings which are usually cast off in a hurry and wanted in a hurry. If the closet is not there these things are sure to find lodgment in the kitchen, for this is the plave whit h the "men folks" and farm boys invariably enter first. Nothing gives a kitchen such a forlorn, untidy air as a collection of tb se things hung upon e ery available nuil or pitched upon every availuble chair. L'e-ides after they have been in the room a short time, the warm, steamy atmosphere is likely to evolve aa odor j not at all pleasant to t-ensitive onactories. The closet where these things are kept should be frequently aircfl. The farmer's wife ol daughters have to spend so much time in the kitchea, it ought to be bright and attractive. An easy rocker or comfortable arm chair should be placed by a window, where the tired housekeeper may drop down a few moments and snatch up a paper, or just simulv rest while waiting for something: to boil or come to the right brown. If she is fond of pictures let her have them on the kitchen walls, if they are only prints or woodcuts from some of the illustrated papers?some of these are beautiful enough to be worthy fine frames?or if she loves color, some chromos of fruit and flowers are very far from being bad art. At any rate, let the country kitchen, where so much time is spent, be large and light and cheery.? 71j/r/,)V TWAmwv? Recipes.

I "EDITOR'S BACK STAIRS." i The Interesting View* of the Late Dr. J. G. Holland. The columns of the newspapera appear t* bo flooded with proprietary medicine advertisements. As we cast our eye over them, it brings to mind an article that was published by the late Dr. Holland in Scribners Monthl;/. He say?: "Nevertheless, it isa fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day were more successful than many physicians. and most of them, it should be remembered, were at first discovered or used in actual medical practice. "When, however, any shrewd person, knowing their virtuc,and foreseeing tneir popularity, secures and advertises them, then in the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them." Is not this absurd) This great man appreciated the real merits of popular remedies, and the absurdity of tho?e that derided them Because puonc attention was called to the article and the I evidence of their cures, If the most noted | physician should announce that he had made | a study of any certain organ or disease of the body, or make his sign larger than the coda size, though he may have practised medicine and been a leader in all medical counsels, notwithstanding all this, if he should presume to advertise and decline to give his discovery to the public, he would be pronounced a quack and a humbug, although he may have spent his entire life and his available funds i in perfecting his investigations. Agaiq we say, "absurd." If an ulcer is found upon one's arm, and is | cured by some dear soul of a grandmother, outside of the code, it will be pronounced by the medical profession an ulcer of little imI portance. But if treated under the code, causing sleepless nights for a month, with the scientific treatment, viz., plasters, washes, dosing with morphine, arsenic and other vile substances, given to pevent blood poisoning or deaden pain, and yet the ulcer becomes malignant, anrl amputation is made necessary at last, to save life, yet all done according to the "isms'' of the medical code, this is much | moae gratifying to the medical profession, and adds more dignity to that distinguished i oi der than to be cured by the dear old grandmother's remedy. This appears like a severe arraignment, yet we believe that it expresses the true j standing of the medical profession in regard to remeiios discovered outside of their special I "isms." One of the most perplexing tnings of the day is the popularity of certain remedies, especially Warner's safe cure, which we find for sale everywhere. The physician of the highest standing is ready to concede it3 merits and sustain the theories the proprietors have made?that is, that it benefits in most of the ailments of the human system because it assists in putting the kidneys in proper condition, thereby aiding in ui rowing off the impurities of the blood, while others with less honesty and experience deride, and are willing to see their mtient die scient finally, and according to tno code, rather thun have him cured by this great remedy. Yet we notice that the popularity of the medicine continues to grow year by year. The discoverer comes boldly before the people with its merits, and proclaims them from aoor to door in our opinion much more honorably than th? physician who, pjrchance, may secure a patient from some catastrophe, and is permitted to set a bone of an arm or a finger, which he does with great dignity, yet j very soon after takes the lit erty to climb the J editor's back stair > at 2 o'clock in the morning to have it announced in the morning paper J that''Dr. tSo-and-so was in attendance," tnu* I securing for his benefit a beautiful and free aavert semens. We shall leave it to our readers to ?aj which is th" wis-r and morn honorable. The Life of a Crystal. We generally think of minerals as dead lumps of inactive matter. But they may be said to be alive, crcntures of vital pulsations and separated into individuals as distinct as the pines in the forest or the tigers in a jungle. The disposition of crystals are as diverse as those of animals. They throb with unseen currents of energy. They grow in size as long as they have opportunity. They can be killed, too, though not as easily as an oak or a dog. A strong electric shock discharged through a crystal will decompose it very rapidly if it is of soft structure, causing the particles tograduua ly disintegrate in the reverse order from its growth until the poor thing lies a dead, shapeless ruin. It is true, the crystal's life is unlike that of higher creatures. But the difference between vegetable and animal life is no grea'er than that between n:ineral and vegetable life. Linmcus, the great Swedish naturalist, defined the three kingdoms by saying: "Stones g ow, plants grow and feel, animals grow and feel and move." ? Wike Awake.
