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

The centennial of the battle of Bunker Hill t

flvo o'clock in the morning by a laughable a

after the carnival at Rome. The grand ^
procession started about noon, and consisted
of military of all the New Eugland States, New a

and Washington, D. C., together with Masons,
Army of the Republic, Knights of Pythias and
other benevolent and mechanical associations,
