Tlf?lm\;iiL' llic Cutworm*.
During the eool nights the cutworms
arc at work cutting down the
newly transplanted cabbage. tomato |
and other plants. The cutworm eats !
only at night, going into the ground
just before day. usually at the root I
of the plant that it has cut down. By !
going over the garden and digging for j
the worm wherever a plant has been i
cut it can be found and destroyed. It I
will hardly be possible to go over a
field every morning, but tbev can by
materially reduced in a garden by destroying
tliein in the places of their
depredations.

As soon a.s the ground is dry enough
to bo in good working condition plow
it deep and harrow. Then take a
two-horse plow and a steady team, set
a stake at the opposite end of tae new
where you want the lirst row and at
the other end set the plow to where
you want the row; measure off from
the plow to where you want the second
row ami set a stake to come back
od. Then start the team and plow
straight and deep to stake at opposite
end of field, end so on until the field !
Is marked our. Then turn and plow j
a furrow back, settling the clevis on
the plow so it will run right when tne
horse on the landside of the plow
walks in the furrow, so it will plow a :
deep wide furrow. Then take a chain,
tie a knot in one end and drag it by
stakes crosswise of the furrows till
you have marked it all out. This will
make a mark plain enough to set trees
by. Take as many trees as you can
easily handle wrapped hi a piece of 1
carpet to exclude air. rack quite well '
around roots as tree is set ?The Upi- j

In the summer season the fowls
should have a chance to get out upon
the ground by 3 or 3.30 o'clock in the
morning. It is then light, and the I
birds are anxious to leave their roosts i
and get out Into the fields, where their
instinct tolls tliotn the insects are now
most abundant and most easily captured.
as the cool air of the night has
rendered them somewhat dormant.
But the average poultry keeper cannot
get up at this unseasonable hour.

Practical Sheep II uabandry.
Medicine should not be given to nursing
ewes, as it mostly goes into the
milk, and the young lamb may get too
much of it and be lost.

The nursing puns are lor weak cwvs j
or ewes with weak lambs. Many losses
will bu prevented in cold weather, or
of weak lambs, by putting tin* owes
in these pons, one for each owe.
A ewe which disowns her lamb per- j
sistcnily may be couliucd in a narrow I
stall in which she cannot turn around, I
and after she has boon held a few
times she will become as motherly as j
may be wished. ?x
Watch the ewes el.-sely when the j
lambs are coming. Some of the inex- j
perieuced young ewes will, as may be '
thought viciously, kill their lambs by j
pawing them. This is only done iu ;

on their feet. Set such weak lambs j
on their frot :it or.ee. and tIif youm:

Speaking about crossbreeding, tli<!
Sheep Itrecder hasalwnys upheld hot it
tho theory and practice ??1" one eros;
for raising a feeding lamb, but m
more. Kxperience in indefinite aiu
promiscuous crossbreeding in the Wes
has not been satisfactory in a singb
instance, bur has been well nigh uni
versa 1 in loss of llceoe and Hock character.
Cuts on a shorn sheep are a verj
common source of serious injury, anc
an* scarcely to he avoided by ever
good hand shearers. The machim
never cuts a sheep, nor does it ovei
undercut the fleece. It is a very easv
thing to save the cost of a machine it
tne shearing of quite a small flock. Ii
will pay to have one if only for a scorj
of sheep.
There is no necessity (o suddenly in
crease the food of the newly lamhoi
ewe. The ewe has been supporting
tlie lamb previously and now she b
doing the same, but by milk instent
of by her own blood directly. As tin
lamb grows it will need an iucrease ol
the ewe's food. Milk increases in i
owe as in a cow. gradually, as tin
y<>uug animal grows. Thus the in
crease in feed of a ewe should b<
made only after the lamb is a few
days old. and after this gradually
added to cautiously, as the lamb
draw on the ewe for more milk, whicl
is provided by nature, or by the feedet
really, who is nature's servant. Over
feeding a ewe either in quantity 01

condition of the udder should be

not healthful, attention should b:
given at once.?American.Sheen Dreed

r i The house and lot were donated tc

j St. Louis shortly after the civil war.
i It was built at a cost of $20,000, which
. was raised bv popular subscription
General Sherman first took up his res.
idenee in the house in 18C7 and lived
, there with his family for seven years
. and they had a dispute with the city
I officials over the payment of his water
j taxes. It was not so much the pay,
ment of water rates than Gen. Sherman
objected to as the high rate imposed
on hi in. Ultimately he paid the
taxes, but he was offended with the
, city officials and chagrined by the inI
cident, and this, coupled with the at,
tacks of an editor whom ho hac
| drummed out of his ramp as a correspondent,
caused him to leave the
city.
Upon the general's death the G. A
