FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. How He Learned to Farm. That well known New York fanner, George Geddes, gives the Now York Tribune some facts relative to how he learned to form. It will be noticed that he had the advantage of large wealth: This letter, and the helplessness of its owner, brings to my mind the memory of days forty-five years ago, when I left a law office, having spent nearly all my days in schools, to manage nearly 1,000 acres of land, that then came into my hands. I had been born and raised on a farm (just where I now live) and had spent my vacations and the summers of my sixteenth and nineteenth years at home, and had formed some ideas of farming as practiced in those days. I had held a plow some, and assisted in haying and harvesting, but of the practiced management of n large farm I certainly knew but little. The home farm being let on shares to a very good man for the plaee, I put myself under his instruction, and from him learned something of the use of Buch tools as the Bcythe and the grain cradle, and the next spring assume# the management. I knew enough of the business before me not to attempt its conduct in connection with anything else, and I had aOmo notion of my great ignorance of the business that circumstances made it imperatively necessary for me to follow for life. There were three farmers, living some miles apart, but neither of them very far from me, who had each for himself made a handsome fortune in farming, and each was a marked man among his neighbors, and to some extent led them by example. Though very successful, they were quite unlike each other, and neither would have been likely to ask advice of the others. But ?liey agreed in one thing? they were each ready to give mo advice, and, I thought, were pleased when I asked them, one at a time, to talk over my doings. Many a time, when at a loss as to what I had better do, I have ridden to one of these men expressly-to tell him my troubles and get his advice as to the best thing for me to do, and I think I always had my way made dear by their counsels. Another source of information was found in my hired men, and I have never had a good man work for me a year that I have not received some good hints from, in regard to the best tune or way of doing work on the farm. Dm of Barthwormi. The common earthworm, though apt to be despisod, is really a useful creature in its way. Mr. Knapp describes it as the natural manurer of the soil, consuming on the surfuce the softer parts of decayed- vegetable matters, and oonveying downward to the more woody fibers, which there molder and ~fertilzo. They perforate the earth in all directions, thus rendering it permeable by air aud water?both indispensable to vegetable life. According to Mr. Darwin's mode of expression, they give a kind of undertillage to the land, performing the same below ground that the spade does for the garden, and the plow for arable soil It is, in consequence, chiefly of the natural operations of worms that fields which have been overspread with lime, burnt iuuii, w uuiuere, uccome in process of time covered by a finely divided soil fitted for the snpport of vegetation. This result, though usually attributed by farmers to the "working down" of these materials, is really due to the action of earthworms, as may be seen in innumerable casts of which the initial soil consists. These are obviously produced by the digestive proceedings of the worm, which take into their intestinal canal a large quantity of the soil in which they feed and burrow, and then reject it it in the form of the so-called casts. "In this manner,"says Mr. Darwin, "a field, manured with marl, has been covered, in the oourse of eighty years, with a bed of earth averaging thirteen inches in thickness. Tomatoes. But few vegetables are in more general use for both winter and summer than tomatoes. And while their cultivation is very general, but few persons understand how to grow and develop them sccoessfnlly. The vines are great growers, and in rich loose soil all that is neoessary to raise and have them tumhlerl in heaps, like "some deep tangled wildwood, is to cultivate well and keep the weeds down. These tangled, luxuriant, topsy-turvy vines, while they may produce abundantly, never produce so good fruit, nor do they ripen it as it should be. It is necessary, in order to have good tomatoes and to havo them early,, to set the plants about four feet apart and keep thsm well staked and tied up. A good stake can be made by cutting mall bushes down, leaving them about fhr?* feat long, with some of the limbe on; drive these stakes down near the plants and train and tie up as the plant grows. Keep the laterals well pinched off and the fruit will be much earlier and finer than if the vines are tumbled into one undistingniahable mass. The young frait needs the son, and any system of pruning and training that will give it to them is better than letting them fall down. The Pet ate Beetle. The Colorado beetle has made its appearance already in the East, and millions of beetles are engaged in laying eggs upon the .nnder side of the leaves. Tne beetle is abont the size of a white bean, broad, round, and plnmp. It is dark in color, with ten orange-yellow stripes on its back?five strioes on each of its wing-oases.. This conspicuous marking anables it to be known at Aral sight. As soon as it appears it may be kept down vary easily by hand picking it from the vines ana crashing the eggs laid apoD the leaves with the fingers. As soon as the larvae appear, which may be expected in a few days after the appearance of the beetles, if they are not at onoe attacked the beet remedy is to nse pans green, either mixed with water (at the rate of one heaped tablespoonful to a pailful of water), or with twenty times its bulk of flour, and scattaring it evenly over the leaves of the plants, upon which the larvae feed voraoioosly. As it is imj>orfcant to have the paria green pure, and much of it on sale Is adulterated, and therefore to an equal extent useless, we would recommend our readers to procure only the pure article, wbfeh should eoet about one dollar per pond.

' H The centennial of the battle of Bunker Hill t was 'gloriously celebrated in Boston by an im- 0 mouse throng of people gathered from all n parts of the country. The exercises began at ^ flvo o'clock in the morning by a laughable a parade of the Antiques and Hoiriblos, patterned after the carnival at Rome. The grand ^ procession started about noon, and consisted of military of all the New Eugland States, New a York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington, D. C., together with Masons, Army of the Republic, Knights of Pythias and other benevolent and mechanical associations, conciauing with hundreds of wtmummnnininor 1 *? implements and product* representing the in- H dustries of Boston and vicinity.

When fu1 f oil, of course a lamp contains no gat >ut immediately on lighting the lam onsumption of oil begins, soon leaviu space for gas, which commences t arm as the lamp warms up, and afte turning a short time, sufficient gas wi ccumulate to form an explosion.
