rTiE APPL'S ':'8 EMY.- .-Thi, -ii 'nee0d hardly be said, is the codling moth or apple . orm. , The. only nice .thing about it is its entomological name, car. pocapsa pomdnella.' Thji oth tak its appearance in latter ,My r ,a, y June, and it is well to be prepared' t meet It when it comes. Traps have been invented for this insect,' Aad Oarl. ous means suggested for staying ,s ad *iicee nd'prevepting its rag ,1o+ fepsor oli asserts. in a late nu be of the Rtr i ew Yorker, that Pari Green and London Purple if mixed with wa ter and sponged on the trees Is sure ,to kill this arch enemy of our most valued -fruit. He has found that a pound of the poison mixed 'with 100 gallons of water, and kept well mixed is still ef fective to giJl the larvie as tleyattempt to enter tlfe apple. One ortwo apjlida% tions of the poison to the trees, made soon afterblos.onid fall, Will: thin al most to extinction not only the codling larv hut all other Insects present,;as the cankir worm, leaf roller,,andv yvri 'Ous caterpillars. The probablities ' are that in Itbdse localities where apples were so.abundant last season, there will be few apough at best this year, and we can't afford to give many to the worms. FtEsH wQod ashes are often of little benefit, . The e(ustic potash probably injures the roots of tender plaits In Scoe espa, ;As any one can test by'put ting an overdose of ashes ip the corn hill, with the seed, 1But the kshes soon lose their caustic properties. In the -soil vegetable decomposition is con stantly throwing oif carbonic acid, and this neutralizes the alkali of the potash. -Old ashes long exposed to theair absorb considerable amounts of ammonia, and to this leached ashes owe much of their value. What potash they contain is in the form of a nitrate and ready for im meditte use. THE smallest town or city lot can be made a mine of wealth to the family by cultivating it on the intensive plan. That simply means to make it just as rich as it will bear. ]id you ever note how enormously a ilorist could crowd his plants under one another in small beds? Well, just so you can do the vegetables if you will use enough water and manure. Beets, radishes, turnips, carrots parsaaps, etc., will grow almost in a pile crowded against one another, and as fast as some Plants are taken out others may be put in, planted from the seed or set out, so that the ground need never be vacant. This is no ditli -cult matter. You only need to know .how, when and what to plant. Mos_' farmers have learned that cut hay or even straw wet and sprinkled with meal is a better feed for working horses than whole grain and hay. In this shape the nutriment in the feed is easily eaten and easi)y digested. Horses do not need water when eating, except as it is put on the chopped hay to make the meal stick to it. The meal being flue digests perfectly, while much of the nutriment in whole grain is lost. Again, the wasted effort made in digesting the latter is so much de tracted from the strength which should go to the work. A FrEmrcal Ves aret so they will eat hay. give them what they will eat clean of this and about one quart of oats daily. Without the grain the hay will only keep them in store condition and orth the profit will come from the grain, and the farmer who sees this point will increase the grain feed all the animals will bear. No pruning at all is safer p)ractice than tihe p)utting a pruning knife into the hands of an ignoramus. It requires skill and knowledge of varieties and their peculiarities, which few possess, to prune apple and pear trees properly. What would be good treatment for one variety would he ruinous to others. _______ To destroy the cabbage worm bruise a quantity of tansy in a wooden bucket,, over which pour cold water, and let' stand until the water is quite bitter, and then sprinkle it over the i lants, being sure to reach the worms -with it. it is absolutely necessary that the wa ter should be quite bitter. DIARiiGAu among the young chicks is generally cau.sed by:sour, sloppy food and impure water. When first notic9d give half a tenispoontl of castor oil, and for a few days afterward feed on cooked rice and stale bread soaked in milk and saasoned with pepper. THmE ground for celery must bo very rich, andl should be made ready a month p)revious to setting out plants, ~as it serves to give better results, the manure bemng less heating and danger from drought partially avoided. The finer the manure the better, and it should be rich and free from useless materials. THlE Poultry Keeper advises poultry wraise that they should never seek a market for their poultry between No vember 15 and January 15. The com mission houses are crowded and trade p)aralyzed by the volume of receipts at that time. Poultry raisers should bear these things in mind and arrange to se ~cure thebetter ratesto behiad in Sept.em ber and October., WHIEN you set a hen sprinkle a table. ospoon(ul of sulphur in the0 nest. -Thp sulphur repels lice, and also keeps off scaly legs.

The ounce of prevention in this case is the care taken when washing the floor not to go near enough to the mop boarde to touch them with the mop or splasi them with the scrubbing brush. I once knew a woman who used a board, foi protection, moving it along as she pro ceeded. After the rest of the floor' is dohe the edge next the walls should be washed with a cloth and clean water, Some one may object to this method on the ground that it neccessitates walking over the wet floor thus leaving tracks, If the floor be large and a part at a time be washed and wiped, the firsi portion will be partly dry by the timc the last is done; if a small floor wh. not. wait a little while, do some otnei work or even rest. DiT should be simple. Drinking water should be pure. Clearness is not always a sign of purity. Sparkling water may contain disease germs. A bath two or three times a week is suf ficient.. It is important that bathing water should be pure. Typhoid fever and other diseases have been produced by the absorption through the skin of the disease germs. The temperature of the bath should depend on the power of the circulation to act. A c Id bath should never be taken just beto$ going to bed. To clean windows, wash with luke wr rn water, rub with any clean, dry cloth to take off the first dampness, then finish with a piece of chamois. A large one can be purchased for fifty cents, and it will last a lifetime and save much hard work. When soiled wash in soap suds, rinse well aned dry. tiuwn.rit .. o IsaUU wu-makle 1 soft.
