_ AGRICULTURAL." TOPICS OF INTEREST RKIjATTVE TO FA11AI AND GARDEN. 8AI.T FOR BI.ACK WKKVIT.. I will 6tate for the information of nil .interested, says a Texas farmer in the New York Herald, that the common black weevil can bo kept out of corn after it is gathered, or killed if already in it, by mixing salt through the corn as it is put in the crib and occasionally sprinkling the corn with water to cause the salt to dissolve. It is not necessary to dissolve all the salt at the time of cribbing the 'corn as it will continue to dissolve, except in dry and windy weather, and will do so even in dry weather if it is very avarm. Do not throw the water on in quantities, as is the custom of some |>ersons in this section. This causes the water and salt to run through to the bottom in large quantities, resulting in damage to the corn at the bottom, also to the tlooring and foundation of the crib; la-side, it inay uot leave enough salt iu the upper portion of flu* com. Some years since I noticed here a small brown weevil in cottonseed meal. The same weevil, or one very much resembling it, is now to Infound in corn here. The salt and water remedy docs not entirely exterminate the brown weevil, but lessens their numbers. This weevil damages corn very little. I also had mi tea in my eoiu the past fall, which the salt and water exterminated as well as the black weevil. TO GET nit) OF SHREr TICKS. The ticks which are so numerous on lambs after the ewes are sheared arc tincause of the lanil>s nibbling themselves aud of their failure to do well. These insects annoy the young animals exceedingly and should be got rid of at once by the following means: Procure a tight box or vat large enough to hold a lamb, and another with a stooping door, from which the drainage can flow into a pail; make a decoction of tobacco stems, one pound to a gallon of wider; pour boiling water 011 the stems and steep them until the heat is reduced to PJO degrees; add two ounces of sulphur to the gallon of water with the tobacco. Put snllicii-nt of the liquid in the lirst vat to cover the land) all over but the head and put the lamb into it, taking rare to got tinliquor thoroughly into tin- wool, put the lanili into the draining box ami squeeze Mio liquor out of the- wool. So proeeeil through the tlork. Keep sonn- of the liquor hot in a kettle to replenish the vnt. Sometimes buttermilk is poured on the back of the Iamb ami spre.nl all through the wool for the purpose of killing these pests. Where there are but a few lambs the tieks may be killed with a pair of sharp-pointed scissors, hs they anfound by parting the wool on the sides of the uniuial.?iVt-io York Times, IIAY MAKINO ANI) C.MtB OF MHADOWS. In making hay, farmers nr.- apt to become too much hurries! with drawing In, so that, they do not give tin- hay time enough to cure and sweat; hence it becomes mowhurnt, musty and discolored. It has been my observation that the best way to harvest hay is to rut early, so as to secure a good, green color. Let the hay lie; and have plenty time to drv: Use- the tedder .-mil 11ii-ii rake ami rock it. Loading from tinwindrow is a had practice. The hay may appear dry after the hot rays of the sun have poured upon it live or six hours, but it is so only on the outside. It should lie rocked up and have time to sweat before it is put in larger masses. The markets demand hay of good color, and it pays well to use cxtr^i efforts to secure such. Hay that "is eut early will bring two dollars per t??ii more than that eut later ami allowed to Income yellowish. Thoupli hay-mnking i important, tinrare of the meadow i? equally if not more so. ft is best to seed with f ill crops at the time of sowing or in the en suiug spring. I)o not pasture much, ai d if the meadow is seeded to timothy, don't pasture at all, or the meadows will soon j "run out." Pasturing will lame .tune grass to start, aud there will soon he tn> timothy. I know of meadows ten or twelve years old that yielded from one and a half to two tons per aerc last year. They were never pastured, hen spriug were harrowed, and wlw-re thin, new seed was sown. Every two or three years a quantity of phosphate was sown, at the rate of a few dollar's worth p?-r acre. This enriches th-- land and ui\i^ a good growth of grass. If tin- fall is wet there will he quite a growth af.ci cutting. In spring when- this autumn growth dried it is burnt over. This i warms the ground ami gets rid of tinold dead grass, which would otherwise be raked tip and spoil tlx- s-,|e of the hay. The ashes net as a fertilizer. I have been speaking of tiim-thy mead ows. With clovi r a good crop of seed can often be secured as a sceond crop I after haying. As to which is the better, clover or timothy, it depends upon the soil, ete. Timothy brings the last price ?the coarser and longer the better? wane cover iii:ik< s me m-t pasture. It is better to put hay in barns or sheds than in stacks, as stacked hay is liable to become dusty. There cannot be too much care taken in raising and harvesttug hay.

There is a wide difference of opinion B-s to how deep it is necessary or host to gtirthcsoil in cultivating the growing crops, says a writer in the /'r.'iri?. /dower. There are three items to be secured at least; the destruction of the weeds, avoiding the unnecessary robbing of the soil of available plant food that will he taken up and used hy the weeds; mellow injx or loosening up the soil that the roots can penetrate readily; and rendering trvailahle plant-food tliat is already in the soil, but needs the action > 1 the light and air to make it available. If the cultivation is commenced in good season, the weeds are very easily destroyed, without the necessity of disturbing the soil more than two or three incites. If the soil has been properly brought into a good tilth, its should be done before the crop is planted, it should be sufficiently loose ami mellow for the roots to penetrate, without the necessity, after the plants have commenced to grow, of loosening up so that the roots can permeate. To a greater or less extent the natural course of till manure is downward, and, if applied on the surface ami thorough cultivation is given, it will incorporate well with the soil, ami the rains will usually carry the soluble portions ' sufficiently deep, so that the toots will be able to secure the necessary supply tc keep up a vigorous growth. There is another point that should also be considered, and that is, if the soil is stirred deep, there must of necessity lw more or less disturbance of the roots. The roots furnish a good |>er cent, of the food that enables the plant to grow, ami if these are disturbed or broken, Ihrrt must of necessity bo a lessening iu the supply. It is true that plants, like animals, as o rule, heal all cuts or wounds naturally, and if in cultivating the roots are cut 01 bruised, the damage will be repaired. There i?, in addition, an outlay of strenirth that is unnecessary, and could be avoided. Fully ns good a growth and yield cau Ih? secured by stirriug the soil deep and thoroughly in plowing, then working into a good tilth and planting the seed, and then, as far as possible, commencing the eultivatiou in good season, so that only thesurfaee is stirred. This will be sufficient to keep down the weeds, and this is one principal point in cultivation. The work, too, can be done easier and more economically than to stir the soil deep at every cultivation. There may, indeed, be times when it is necessary t? stir the soil deep, hut it is the exception rather than the rule. TREATMENT KOK HOUSE THICKS. Pr. II. Keynolds maintains that the minor vice which impairs the value and spoils the salahility of an otherwise excellent horse is, likely enough, traceable to bad management or severity in the treatment of the animal, and, certainly, harshness tends to confirm the evil way. lie mentions balk mess as an illustrative instance, and adds in the New York h'ri/miiur suggestions for humane and effective run? of this and simil-.r tricks: "It is 110 use to whip the balky horse. That only makes him worse. If a horse refuses to go, let him stand and think of it for a few minutes. Oftentimes he will soon think better of it and start off of his own accord. If lie does not, get out and pat him, speak kindly, give liiiu a Imneh of gra>-s, a potato or an apple, un linen ttie riH'cKri'in?<io something just to take his attention oil the balking, ami generally he will go along without further trouble. The horse is very susceptible to kiielness, ami there is ten times the chance to break up the hahitof balking by kindly treatment that there is by abuse or violence; or, at least, harsh means should not be resorted to until all devices prompted by kindness have been thorough'}* exhausted. 'Some horses have a trick of running back when you want to start tliein. This is a worse fault than refusing to go at all, as it is liable tosmash the carriage or injure those in it. In such cases the same means as are recommended for a balky horse may be tried. If those fail, take the horse into the middle of an open level field, start him, and let him hack as much as he wishes, keeping the wheel turned so as to make the circuit of the field as many times as lie wishes. Then make him keep backing until he is heartily sick of it, and dizzy. Then he will see that he has been beaten at his own game, and will not be likely to try it again. "Some horses l?y lying down in the harness break shafts and do other inisehief. The best way to break them of that trick is to give them an overdose of it. When one lies down get upon his head and neck and make him stay there, lie will soon want to get. up, hut hold him down, head flat on the ground. If you are strong and determined you can keep him down, although it will be lively work for awhile. Hut don't give up. Keep him there till he is tired out and gives up if it takes all day, and night, too. When he gives up he knows he compa red, and that you are stronger than lie. He will not be likely to put himself again in a position that will give vmi a chance in hold him." Tile thought is emphasized that whatever the trick <>r vice, whipping ?>r other harsh treatment will generally do no good : it exasperates the animal, makes him more obstinate, and perhaps, even furious. Only by kind and int llim-nt management < til you hope to reclaim him. FA KM \M? (;\r.l?KN NOTES. Toads are the cardi-ticr's frieml?. Clover stuhldc is enoil chicken pasture.

It J'1 is getting a hideous commonplace of judges. Only ten days ago Lord Coleridge said at ! Durham that hut for drink we might shut up ! nine-tenths of our iails. I?ist week was . brought up before Rlr. Justice Mauisty, at Manchester, a wretched creature in man's m semblance, who, as though he were worse than a natural brute beast made to be taken and destroyed, had brutally kicked his wife to death; and the Judge, in sentencing him to the gallows, said: ''You have lieen found M guilty of the crime of wilful murder, your victim being your own wife. You are a sad, n, sad instance of the consequences of indulging . in drink, which has brought yon to this fear- ' ful condition. It is only owing to God's 1,1 I mercy that this has not brought many, many ct I more intoa similar case.
