Metallic Alloy* in Crnde Fetrolenm. Cbenmts have made the diecoverj that in the crude petroleum from one tertain well a lead nnd zinc alloy if held in solution to the amount of one and a half pounds to ten gallons ol oil. The discovery was made in the process of refining the crude oil. Then the zinc was deposited, and, as metallic flakes, was discovered. The amount of lead is small as compared to the zinc. The chemists will in vestigate further to determine the chemical value of the alloy and the practicability of extracting it.

Cabbage Worm Insecticide. Pests of the cabbage family are best controlled by the use of the following I insecticide: Pulverized resin, five I pounds; concentrated lye, one pound; j fish oi', one pint; water, five gallons. Make this into a stock solution by placing the oil, resin and one gallon of hot water in an iron kettle, heating until the resin is softened. After this add the concentrated lye carefully and stir the mixture thoroughly. Add four more callons of water and boil the whole mass until the mixture will unite with cold water, making a clear, amber-colored mixture. This mixture should make five gallons of stock solution. When this is used F. A. Sirrine, of the Gevena Experiment Station, advises preparing it by combining one gallon of the stock solution with sixteen gallons of water, three gallons milk of lime and a quarter pound paris green. The water, resin and milk of lime are combined, after wbich the paris green is added. In every case where this mixture is properly applied, good results were obtained.

The board can be of considerable length, sharp at one edge, with a bit of flat iron riveted to the edge, the used-up blade of an old wood-saw being excellent for this purpose. The handle is braced firmly by a half-circle of iron which a blacksmith can fit in place in a few moments. With such an implement the work of leveling and grading can be done quickly and easily. It should have a place in any garden kit. Sorehead in Fowl*. The fowls of a farmer in Erie County, N. Y., have combs which look as if frozen and some with eyes entirely closed. The sores seem to be what is known to poultrymen as sorehead. It comes on usually iu summer or fall and is a very troublesome malady in some seasons. It begins suddenly or may not be noticed until it has progressed to a severe case with one or both eyes closed. To me it seems like a cold brought on by dampness or close and damn roosting rooms, and it may be aggravated by taking the I young birds at a time when somewhat weakened by feather growing. Attention to the sleeping apartments and prevention of crowding are of the first importance and then careful attention to the diet should carry a flock past the dangerous season without an attack, or so mild a one as to be considered of little importance. When a few are attacked they can be treated with sulphcCi copper solution, | ounce in half a pint of water, or even stronger than this may be used once or twice daily. Camphorated oil is one of the best things to treat the sore places, as the oil softens up the scabs and removes them easily. Tincture of camphor will also cure the sores, but the oil will cai.se less pain to the birds. Hege has found several articles, treatment with which resulted in cures, either by his general care, providing comfortable Quarters and dieting the bird, or the following articles, or both: Axle grease, carbolized vaseline, iodine, bluestone or copper sulphate, water.?F. E. Emory, of the North Carolina Experiment Station. The Horn Fly. i * ? * i.1 1 r or ine past lew yenra me juuru uy has been a great pest amongst tbe neat Block of our farms. Tbis is particularly true on tbe dairy farms, as by tbe continued annoyance and pain caused by tbe fly tbe dairy cow shrinks materially in her milk flow. Tbe fly derives its name from its peculiar habit of resting at tbe base of tbe boms. While there it appears to do no particular ham, but confines its attacks to the backs and loins of the animal, and such other parts as cannot be readily reached by the tail or horns. Tbis fly is about one-half the size of tbe bouse fly, bat unlike the house fly does not breed in ordinary waste matter, but in fresh droppings of the animale. The eggs are laid by the fly as soon as the manure is | : dropped, and if left undisturbed they j . will liatcb in about forty-eight hours, when they immediately enter the ground and go through the second transformation. After remaining here about two weeks they emerge from the ground, a perfect fly fit for business. It will thus be seeu that many generations will appear during the season. Nearly everything that cau be done to prevent their ravages must be of a preventive nature. They may be kept from breeding by scattering tho voidings of the animals every two days or by sprinkling land plaster, lime, or dry earth upon them. They may be kept from the animals almost entirely by applying some oily preparation, or pyrethrum powder. The liquid preparations are cheaper, and some of them ere more effective. They may be ap* ?

Increase of Bees. Naturally, bees will increase to excess by swarming, if the honey season is a good one. It is a mistake to thus allow bees the privilege of swarming as much as they will do at sucb times, as the result will be a large number of weak colonies, and a number of queenless ones unless they are lnnkAfl after in this carticular, In such instances bees do not lay up a necessary supply of honey to build up strong in the alter part of the season, to say nothing of a supply foi wintering, and in all such cases it re quires heavy feeding in the fall. Th< limit to increase by swarming shoulc be confined to but one swarm fron: each colony. This leaves the parenl stock in fair condition, and both il and the first swarm will prove profit able colonies. It is but little trouble to regulate swarming, and if we wisl to prevent it altogether we can do sc by removing the queen cells from the combs. If we wish but one swarrc from each colony, we can take away all but one queen cell after the firsl swarm issues, and no swarming wil follow. Dividing colonies for increase ha! been practiced to quite an extent, bul this method is not near so popular af formerly, and most beekeepers no^ prefer swarming in the natural way Bees are readily divided and colonies formed by simply separating a colonj in two or more parts as desired, anc" furnishing queens to the parts tha have none. In dividing we shoulc imitate natural swarming as near a: possible, and take both old and younj bees, and also divide the brood C9mbf of the hive. Dividing is not so sue cessful as swarming, from the fac' that the old bees return to the ole location, leaving young bees in th< new colony exclusively. Coloniei ttous made up do not do much worl for some time afterwards as the old oi working force of bees do not remaii with them. The most successfu divisions are made by taking tb< dividing parts away some distance * 1 1 i.1 pernaps a nine or two, anu wueu mui removed from the location entire^ they do not return, and lience retair their working force. There is n< manner of dividing that will produci so good results as that of natura swarming, and for this reason it ha! been abandoned to a great extent, Natural swarming Beems to give lif< and vigor to the bees, and they worl with much more energy.?Farm, Fielc and Fireside. Growing Lettuce Indoorp. Lettnce in the vicinity of large citie! is sold by the pound and the point ii to raise as many pounds as possibh per square foot of bench space. Th< Indiana Experiment Station, to deter mine the best mode of raising lettuci in the greenhouse, inaugurated a seriei of lettuce experiments. A bench wai set with plants, one portion six inchei apart each way and another portior eight inches. Both were cut when th< thicker setting was matured enongi for marketing and the thinner setting still showed chances for further im provement. Contrary to expectation: it was found that the thicker setting gave the heavier yield, being twenty ounces to the square foot, agains eleven ounces for the thin setting, f gain of over eighty per cent. Th< saving in time for growing tho orof aDd the increased yield are both ii favor of the thicker setting.

To test the value of sub-watering, a bench was arranged four inches deeper than would otherwise be necessary and over the bottom and three inches up the side it was lined with zinc. The zinc pan is closely filled with ordinary soft brick, c, set on edge. These first had the lower augleE chipped off, so that there were small open spaces at the bottom where the bricks came together. A tube was passed along the side of the bench, curved around underneath, and coming up through the bottom was carePoll*! orl/lavorl nn TMio Impoli i'ci flion Glled with soil over the brick. The water is mn in [through the tube and quickly distributes itself over the bottom. It is gradually absorbed by tha brick and slowly passes up to the soil above. The gauge, a, shows the depth of water in the zinc pans at all times. Water is introduced through the tube, b. The results from this method of subwatering have been more satisfactory than was hoped for. It has been used for crops of lettuce and beans. The theoretical advantages have been more than fullilled in practice. It is so ser viceable that tbe 6tation has no hesitation in saying that for some crops in particular it will be found of the greatest advantage and profit. The extra cost of preparing the benches, about thirteen cents per square foot, is considerable; but tho increased yield and better crops will speedily balance the account. The arrangement is shown in the accompanying engraving.? American Agriculturist. ? ? i HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. Tlio Blcacher Not Necessary.
