VitoM results obtained with variouk
fertihzag substanoes,Profossor Atwatei
has drawn the following conclusions
Corn needs little nitrogen besides what
it can draw from natural scurces, wine
its yield is largely increased under the
influence of mineral fertilizors-the most
ellective being those in which the obiet
component is pliosphorio acid or potash
according to the soil and the season.
Potatoes respond uniformly to all the
ingredients, and they are less able than
corn to gather from natural sources.
The same appears to be true for turnips.
Not enough experiments ha io been
made with other crops to justily ool
isions concerning them. Practically, the
largest average yield for all crops-is si.
cured by the use of fez tilizers con taining
all the essential elements of plant food.
Used alone, nitrate of soda is rorely
useful, sulphate of lime frequently, mu
riate of potash very oito, and the su
per-phosphates generally, boils vary
in their capacity for conveying food to
crops, and careful observation and ex
perimont are necessary to determine
the needs of a particular soil.
F. E. M., N. Y., advises the use of
bark in the tobacco tield to trap the de
structive little "miller." lie speaks as
follows: "Last season, in cutting tiree.
1 discovered the fact that the millers,
that cause so much trouble to tobacoo
ground, seclude themselves during'the
daytime under anything that will pro
tect them, as I discovered one under a
piece of elm bark, at the edge of the
tobacco field, and, upon examining oth
er similar pieces, I found as many as
four under one piece. As this experi
ment would cost nothing. 1 think nuny
growers should try it, and,if found val
uable, it would be generally practicd.
Pliace pieces of bark, or something that
would answer the purposo beat, at, the
ends or sides of the rows, or even in the
field, where they coul be ex:tamined
when the workmon were doing the hoe
ing, wolming, etc. I intend testinig it
fully this season, as I did not have
tin laut, as the cutting was almost
finished when 1 discovered them as de
scribed.
A wurrpu says: "Grass is a che l
food for pigs and a most healthy au1(
protitable diet. Much of the protit o0
pigs must come from a proper use ol
grass as a suniner food. Some hiave
expressed grave doubts whether pig
can be fed as a profit in pen all thio
lives, but we do not think there is an
doubt about it. For, if the best feet.
ing will not pay for the food given pigs,
then they must, be considered unipro.
1table antimals-at po ition wholly un
tenable, as it his been abundantly
proved that the pig is the best utilizei
on the farm, We fully b liovo in the
use of grass for pigs, and. if obliged te

VEnMIN.-The greatest pest. of tle
housekeeper is vermin from the huge
rat, the persovering mouse and the in
dustrions spider, down to the an6 which
never reste and the lively flea upon
which one cam never rbe sharp enough
to put a flinger. T0hose and many
others double the labor of the vearled
wile and cause her endless worry which
is so much worse than work. What
shall we do? is the common cry. Fight.
That is the only remedy, and when we
fight we must do it at once and never
stop. Many houses are so badly built
or arranged that it is impossible to keep
out the vermin, when they have been
driven out, and as soon as one relaxes
her vigilance a now swarm takes pos
session, For rats and mice, cats and
traps are the best. Poison is danger.
ous ant the results are very offensive.
The cellar is the great battle ground
and this should be defended by filling
up every hole and crevice with cement
mixed with broken glass. Where poi
son can be used there is nothing better
than ilour and meal, dry mixed with
calcined plastor-of-paris. When this is
eaton it causes great thirat by absorb
ing moisture in the stomach and when
the creatures drink the plaster sets hard
like a stone and is suro death to thei.
Insect pests of all kinds are kept at bay
by perfect cleanliness. Frequent sweep
ing removes what they feed upon and
they will never com unless in search
of food. Borax sprinkled about is very
olronsive to them, and phosphorus paste
made with flour and spread on strips of
paper is sure death. Floas and bugs
are destroyed by cleanlinoss and kero
seno oil. Benzine is death to moths.
The brooi will drive out the spiders
and it spongo wetted with sweet water

Sho could attend to her household work

the ice-water to her."
But there is no bell in my room."
"No boll in your room, madam I Pray,

WHY CORN BREAD Is NOT GOOD.- OU
reason why corn broad is so often un
successful is, that the batter is made
too thick; it should be thinner than for
johnny-cake, as the flour helps to thick
en it. Then one ought not to rely to
implicitly on receipts; some kinds o
flour and meal thicken more than otheis
so it is well to observe carefully th<
first time you use flour or meal from v
new sack. On account of this differ
