EOB THE FARM AND HOME. ! The Best Welitht for Market Pips. The style of market pig has under gone a great change Wi h;n aiew years. The large 400 or 500 pound bog is now seldom found. The overgrown hog i3 no longer sought after, and pig feeding has been more carefully studied of late years. Shrewd feeders have found that the older the . hog the more its carcass costs per V J pound. It is also found that the flesh of the large hog is coarser and strong er, and not as sweet and fine-flavored as a ten or twelve months' pig. It is true, the older the over-fattened hog yields more lard, but this does not carry profit with it, as lard often brings no higher price than the Bide pork. The inducement, therefore, to grow these large hogs no longer exists, and the 800-pound pig has displaced the 500-pound hog. Live Stock Journal. The Cabbage Worm. A groat number of remedies have been proposed or used for this formid able insect, commonly known as the "green worm." Some of them have obtained credit by using where the worms were few in numbers. Pro fessor Lazenby says he has tried lime water, tar water, copperas solution, whale-oil soap, brine, powdered tansy, tobacco water, and pyrethrum, the last being the most effective, both as pow der and in solution. In powder it should be mixed with twenty part3 of flour, buck-wheat being best, and in solution a tablespoonful in twelve quarts of water. Dr. Sturtevant, Prof. Cook, and others have success fully -used the kerosene emulsion, made of one ounce of hard soap, one pint of kerosene, and six a quarts of water, well churned together and constantly stirred during applica tion. It will destroy the worms if they ; tire thoroughly wet, and should j be used when they first make their ap- ! pearance. It should be thrown with ! some force, using a fountain pump. I Milk, sweet or sour, may bo usod in ! place of the soap. On a sranll scale j an egg-beater may be used for mixing j the ingredients. Mora recently bran and flour, and especially buckwheat flour, have been recommended, and ap pear to be effectual, if used when the worms are quite young; when mature they do not care a cent for it. A small handful will be enough for a cabbage head. It should be used when the dew is on. Two or three Implications may be necessary. Hot water, at a temperature of about 150 degrees, will destroy the young worms, but some skill is required to adapt the heat to its intended purpose without injuring the plants. Boiling water may be used if instantaneously applied, the water partly cooling in the air as it passes from the rose to the cabbages. -Country Gentleman. end of June. This insect attacks the pear, quince, mountain-asht and thorn. The flat-headed borer i3 half an inch long, more or less, of a shining greenish black color. It is very common in the western and southwest ern states, and is also found far north. It attacks the trunk of the trees from the ground up to the limbs, and lays its eggs at the South late in May, and in Canada in June and July. The eggs soon hatch, and the worms bore through the bark into the sapwood. It is much shorter lived than the round-headed borer. Sickly trees are more liable to its attacks than strong and healthy ones. The larvae are easily found by using the knife, and are destroyed; and the eggs may be mostly excluded with the soap and soda wash already men tioned. The insect attacks the oak, soft maple, and several other trees. Country Gentleman. Farm Horse Points. In the first place, what kind of a horse i3 best for the farm and road, for we want one that will answer both purposes equally well? We want a horse with a bright, intelligent face and eyes; a short, but not thick head; short ears, a neck small at the throat, ; deep at the shoulders, with a broad 1 chest; short on the back, ribbed up J close to the hips, with broad hips; 14 ,to 151 hands high, 1,000 to 2.000 j pounds in weight. A horse that will ; do the most work on the least food j wear the longest and be the least apt ! to become unsound. The horse de- i scribed will fill the requirements per fectly, providing the temperament is j good. His frame i3 built solidly to I gether, and he will retain his form and i vigor, and will not become unsound in lung or limb with proper use, even i when old. Such is the horse for far- mers who must use the same animal for farm and road, for he is one that ! can draw a plough with ease, go to church in good style, or for the doctor in a hurry, or in a bad place can draw you out. securely waxing it. Twigs frcm th. size of a lead pencil to a half an inch in diameter can be used for this pur pose. IE SPY the REBELLION BY ALLAN PINKERTON, Who was Chief of tht U. S. Secret Service. Ml CV;V;K Apple Tree Borer. The apple tree borer, known as the round-headed borer, in its perfect state is a beetle three-fourths of an inch long, with two broad whitish stripes running the whole length of its back, with rather long and curved horn-like antennae. This beetle lays its eggs in the bark of the tree near the ground early in summer, and on till midsum mer. These soon hatch, and the young larvae begin to gnaw their way in wards, cutting gradually into the solid wood. They are about three years in reaching maturity, when they come out in the form of the beetle already described. Their presence in the tree may be readily detected by the line sawdust like castings from the holes. They are easily reached and killed by clearing away the openings of the holes with the point of a knife, and then punching them with a flexible wire or small twig, We have never found anything better than a small flexible twig from which the bark has been stripped to make it small enough to enter the holes. The operator knows when he reaches them by the peculiar touch. It is better to examine the trees often enough to find the larvae when they are young, and be fore they have penetrated far into the solid wood. A partial remedy for pre venting the laying of the eggs, is coating .the bark from the ground well up with soft soap, or soap made at soft as thick paint, with washing soda and water. If applied in fair weather it becomes dry and will not son wash off. It may be applied two or three times from the first to the A Itemedjr for Melon Bujii Flea-Beet les, etc. l'rot. Kiley, entomologist, says: There is probably no more satisfactory general remedy for the striped cucum ber beetle, and the different flea beetles that so seriously affect cucur bitaceous plants, especially when they are small, than that so successfully employed by, Mr. Quinn, the well known pear, small fruit, and truck grower of New Jersey. He sprinkles the vines with a liquid made chiefly of soaked tobacco stems and soft soapf and then powders them with lime. The following experience of Mr. J. M. Nicholson, of Godkinville, N. C, is, however, well worthy of being put on record as a most ingenious way of perpetuating the effects of the solution. Mr. Nicholson writes in a recent letter as follows: "I would mention a simple contriv ance which I have made and used with perfect success in exterminating bugs on melon and cucumber vines. I took old oyster and fruit cans (tin) and filled them with a strong decoc tion of tobacco stems and water; I poured it on the stems hot and allowed it to cool; I set one can on each hill and placed therein a woollen string (in thickness about the size of a wheat straw) thoroughly wet it, and allowed it to hang down to the plants. The string acts as a siphon, and draws the liquid out drop by drop, and keeps the plants contiuually moistened with the offensive liquid, thus driving all insects away. It furthei assists in the growth of the plants by keeping the roots moist; yet so continual and gradual is the application that the sun neither scalds nor bakes the earth. I merely mention this, a3 it may be something new, and I assure you it is worthy of a trial, as it proved entirely satisfactory to me this sejison." Forked Fruit Trees. Crotch ed or forked fruit trees of any kind, says an exchange, can be kept from splitting down by twisting together one twig from each of the main branches. These twigs thus twisted together will in five years grow into a solid branch that cannot be broken. Twigs which grow from the lower part of the branches are pre ferable for this purpose. If there are nP such twigs on the branches a "water sprout" or "sucker" should be allowed to grow; or one may be start ed by nicely inserting a scion into a slit between the bark and wood and Agents Wanted fcr our New book.
