The Farm and Household. THE CUT-WORM. . - ‘I have noticed several communications in your paper recently in regard to the best method of destroying grubworms, which sometimes greatly injure the young corn plants.. Some fifty years since this pest ini’ested the corn fields in portionis of Bucks county, Pa. The farmers tried various experiments for its destruetion. Among others, and the- only remedy which proved of any value, was the plan adopted by an old gentleman, who, with his cane, punctured the surface of the earth around and in the corn hill to the depth of three or four inch- ~ es; as the worms passed toward the corn plant they fell into these holes and being non-climbers they perished. " Puncturing the earth sufficiently with ~a single stick would be slow work, but that could’ be easily remedied.’ by inserting several short pieces in a board, and thus making several holes in the eart by one’ movement. - Would not less - destruction of the birds have a tendency to remedy much of this trouble? T have protected my cabbage plants from this .grub for many " years by wrapping paper around the stalk when transplanting, extending about an inch below the surface of the ground and as far above.—D. W., vin Cultivator, e 4

STRAWBERRIES IN BEDS. _ My ground is clayey and will grow large berries and runners for plants at the same time, so it is not necessary for me to clip off the runners when the plants are bearing fruit. Asearly in the spring as the ground can be worked I prepare the ground and set the plants. I make the beds five feet wide and the paths eighteen inches wide. If the beds are wider, the middle of the bed will be too far distant to reach when standing in the path taking care of the plants and gathering the fruit. If n@irrower there will be too large a proportion of the land devoted to paths. The plants I set are of the previous year’s growth, which can be told by their having whitish roots; older plants have brown or black roots.. I set three rows of plants lengthwise of the bed, the plants two feet distant. from each other in the rows, The outside rows I set eighteen inches in from the line of the path, and the plants in the two rows are set opposite each other; so that the plants in these two rows are two feet apart from each other each way. The plants in the middie row aie set opposite. to the centre of the spaces:in the outside rows. In taking cale of the plants the first season I train some of the runners fo the places where they are wanted and pin them down with a wire hook at the time they are taking root, in order that the bed shall be equally covered with plants. lln the latter part of the season, when' the beds become covered with plants, I clip off the runners in order to aid the growth of the plants on the bed. The wire pins spoken of are made of honnet wire size, about four inches in length, one end bent like the bend in a hair pin. Pins with a hook, made from the twig of a tree, will answer the same purpose. If my land were sandy or gravelly, or that which is called. warm: land, I would dispense with the middle row of plants in'the bed, so as not have the bed too much overrun with plants. Awmos Fisir. FARMING AND HALF FARMING. We have known people ambitious to make money, who would spare no labors to increase. their income, and when they had secured it, would spend it'to no purpose—waste it, get rid of it they scarcely knew how, and have nothing to show for it. They were good to make rponey, but could not keep or use it {well. " The only good they. could get of their money was the doubtful good of having it pass through their hands. There are many people of this stamp; they can get business and do it; can earn great wages; drive and push through any amount of toil; make long and close calculations; talk largely -and well enough about business, but cannot increase their own capital. Their purse will not hold money; it leaks; it seems like the fabled pit, without a bottom; or like the millef’s dam, whether it rained much or little, would hold no water: or most likely they-have no purse.— Their money burns their pockets and hands; they have spent it before it is got, or have plans on hand for its disposal.. ¢ :

Much like this class of people are many farmers—they can raise good crops, but cannot make -them pay; they neglect their fences, and the cattle break in just before harvest; or if they get a good crop, have no place tQ secure it. ; Fine fields of hay and grain are gathered, but there are no barns and granaries to keep them. The fruit trees yield well, but there are no means of preserving the fruit,and it goes to waste. The root crops are good, but the frost and winter destroy them, because they cannot bear everything. The farming implements rot more than they wear, because the sun and rain are ever pelting and scorching them. The cows give good milk, but the want of daivy appliances makes the milk of but little value. The pigs are in the cern erib; the sheep are in the garden; the kitchen has no wood, but lives from hand te mouth; the house has no cellar; the water is far away. Eyerything works the hard way; there is much done, but little saved. 'When spring comes, everything is gone; seeds of all kinds must be bought;. the roften utensils replaced by new; the broken down fences made over; the peeled and browsed fruit trees replaced by new and young ones, and & world of labor spent to get the farm inte working order.— So it goes year after year; much is done, but little improvement is made, and all the difficulty lies in want of order and taste in the style of farming. No man of order or taste will see " gates hanging upon one hinge, fences reeling, everything looking -like old chaos or young-:ruin. Men of taste will husband their farms, and men of real farming skill will ‘have arrangements for making the most of all they get, for saving or marketing, that nothing be lost. It is the farmers’ ~ losses that keep them back, and the ~ most of their losses are by their own negligence or by their lack of skill.— There is much " half farming—they waste a great deal of labor and time. The art of keeping everything in order lies in having a place for everything, and ‘putting everything in its place when used; in making repairs when needed; in always putting odd moments. of time, rainy days, ete., to making improve‘ments; con- - venience, and in getting ready. for the ~.season’s active labor. Let all half farmers’ mend their ways as fast as - possible; so will they mend their for- . tunes and their temporal interests. ' CHARCOAL FOR SIOK ANIMALS, . A correspondent writes: When one . of our animals become sick, our rule “has always been to give nothing unless we know exactly what to do; and in _the mean time attend to évery interidr'coxg&rwgaﬁlge. If the weath- : er.l_‘ col¢ v pla ~, ’:. wm uamu, .avoi‘w mm.m ﬁﬁ‘m& to&\\re air and striet mmnm there ‘s ono medicinb thiat oan rever do any | harm, and is commonly beneficial — This is pulverized charcoal. Nearly - all sick animals become 80 by improp-' S s Pt out of tex the digestion is wrong—

Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid corrective. = = : . It will eure in a majority of cases, if propely administered. An example of its use: “The hired manicame in with ‘the intelligence that one of}the finest cows was very sick, and a kind neighbor proposed the usual drugs and poisons. The owner being ill and unable to examine the cow, concluded that the trouble came from some overeating, and orde‘i‘eidc a ‘teaeupful of pulverized -charcoal given in water.— It was mixed, placed in a junk bottle, the head held upward, and the!water with its charcoal poured downward. In five minutes improvement was visible, and in a few hours the animal was in the pasture quietly eating grass. . Another instance of equal success occurred with a young heifer which became badly bloated by eating green apples after a hard wind. The bloat was so severe that the sides were. almost as hard as a barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was tried for the purpose of correcting the acidity.— But the attempt to put it down always causes coughing, and it did but little good.” Half a teacupful of freshly powdered charcoal was next given. In six hours all appearance of bloat -was gone, and the heifer was well.

Catterpillars and the English Spar- . rows. We hear a general complaint of the catterpillars this spring. They are said to be upon fruit trees by the million, and without great care and labor some orchards will be stripped of Jeaves, fruit buds, and probably the trees killed. They breed on -cherry and elm trees of the forest, as well as the fruit trees, so that where these forest trees stand near by orchards it is almost impossible to keep these in-. seets off of fruit trees. In some of the Eastern cities and fruit-growing districts they have imported large numbers of English sparrows, where they are permitted to go at large in gardens and orchards by which the caterpillars and other destructive insects are effectually destroyed. ' They prey especially upon the caterpillars, and it is said that one sparrow will destroy thousands in a single day.— Would it not be wise for our farmers and gardeners to import them to our neighborhood ? « It could be done at a small.cost. It would not cost ten per cent. of the amount lest annually by these insects. When they have houses provided for them after the manner of our ‘common martin boxes, they remain contented and multiply wvery rapidly. A few dollars invested- in this way would save thousands of dollars worth of fruit. They are said to be as ipnocent as the swallow and far'more musical.—Connersville Eaxammer.. 4

Street Scenes in Paris. The street scenes constantly forced upon our observation in Paris;says a correspondent, are very amusing to a foreigner. Men and women, harnessed by leather straps into capacious handcarts, transport heavy loads with apparent ease. Jackasses, with ears of fabulous length, are driven in- small herds from door to door, where they are milked, and the product served to invalid customers. The prevalence of wooden shoes, worn'by the humbler classes, creates a perfect din and clatter upon the sidéwalks and roadways, while these pedal attachments bear a goodly proportion in size and form. to a Swampscott fishing skiff. The uncovered heads of men, women and children of the working classes, excépt, perhaps, a linen cap upon the more pretentious middle-aged women, is a marked feature. The wonderful harness upon the common horses, heavy beyond all reason, with collars partly of wood, and of such enormous size as to overshadow the animal itself, are remarkable to one who has an eye for the eternal fitness of things. The marvelous burdens borne by men and women upon their heads_is also a constant source of astonishment. Then there is the army of chiffoniers who perambulate street gutters in the morning, and who again make appearance, armed with lanterns, at night, to their humble calling. Add also the amusing cries of itinerant tradesmen, prepared to serve you in various domestic matters, and all forms a panorama of curious and busy life, extremely picturesque. _

The Foremost Tonic of the Age. Taking into consideration the character of its vouches, the history of its cures and its immense annual sales, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters may be fairly entitled the Foremost Tohic of the age. It is not only a tonic but a constitutional and local alternative, and its tendency is to substitute healthy for diseased action throughout the system. If the stomach is feeble and torpid it produces a vitalizingimpression upon its mucous tissues. No sooner has the dyspeptic swallowed a dose of it.than he knows by his sensations that his stomach has received an accession of vigor. It increases the desire for food and the ability to digest and'assimilate it. If the liver is derelict, it improves the condition of the organ and imparts to it a new and healthful impulse. The bowels being obstructed, it promotes the flow of bile into the intestinal canal and thereby relieves them and re-establishes their natural action. Its effect upon the brain, the nerves and the kidneys is equally salutary. In short,it tones, alters and regulates the whole system.4t

AND' Now comes the Winchester Journal favoring E. B. Reynolds for Congressman in this District. Itclaims that Mr. Reynolds if nominated, will certainly “enter the race untrammelled by ‘salary grab.” ' The question that presents itself to us is, where can we find an honest, capable candidate who can enter the race with as light a burden to carry as possible?

THE CROPS. X ‘ Reports from the Western States. INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.—The following is a synopsis of the leading information furnished by the National Crop Reporter: The unusual backwardness of the season has delayed very much all kinds of spring work, and at the date of tielast fu}lil reports, prepared April: 15, there had: been practically no seeding at all in the State of Minnesota, and but little plowing in Wisconsin,: At the date mentioned about 40 per cent. of the estimated area of wheat had been sown, and but little more than one-fourth of the oats. The average area sown in wheat in the States of Illinois, lows, Missouri and Wisconsin, was 87 per cent. of the estimated probable total, 62 per cent. of the oats,and of potatoes 20 per cent. ; : The prospects of the fruit crop to date are of the most encouraging character, and the reported damage by frost, excepting in portions of Delaware and Maryland, is inconsiderable.

The condition of the roads south of the forty-ninth parallel was uniformly bad, owing to the prevalence of wet weather, while north of that line..the ground was generally frozen and the roads in fine condition,” Prices of the leading articles the first half of Aprilin-the States of Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin show a slight advance for corn; oats, and hay, and a decline on swine and potatoes, wheat remaining unchanged. -

: A Wedding Night Shirt. It wasn’t hardly the fair thing that the boys did to Joe Thompson the night he was married, but the temptation was irresistable. They could not hayve' helped it to save their lives.— I'll tell you how it was.. f Joe was about the mast fancy dressed buck in the town--over nice and particular —a perfect Miss Nanecy in manners, always putting on airs, and more dainty and modest than a girl.— Well, when his wedding night came he was dressed, trunk empty, and his pants especially, fitted as if they had been moulds, and his legs candles, and run intothem. Tight was no name for them. - Their set was immense and he was prouder than half a dozen peacocks. . “Aren’t they nice, boys?” he asked of the two who wereto be groomsmen and to see that he threw himself away in the most approved fashion:. - “Stunning! Gorgeous!” replied Tom Bennett. “Never saw anything. to equal them. “But I say, Joe, are'nt they just the least bit tight? It strikes me that you will have some difficulty in bending—won’t you?” “Pshaw, no! They are as easy as an old glove, seel” 4 ‘To prove the matter he bent down so as to touch the patent leathers, when crack! crack! followed like the twain report of a revolver. : “Thunder!” exclaimed Joe, as he clasped his hands behind, him and found a ren® in the cassimere from stern to stern. “Thunder! the pants have burst, and what shall I do?” “I’ll tell: you what, Joe, if niing ‘would fit, you, should have them and welcome, but they are a mile too big—they would set like a shirt on a Lean pole. 1 see no way but to have them mended.” :

| “Who can I get to do it, Tom?” : “Well; I amx something of a tailor and can fix them so they won’t show. Hold on a minute and I'll get a needle and thread.” “Can ybu? DMay heaven bless you!” “Off with your coat,” commanded Tom as he came back. ; “Now lay yourself on tlie bed and I'll fix you in short order.” ' The command was obeyed —the pants . mended—the tails , carefully pinned over so as to conceal the “distress for rent,” and all went merry as a marriage bell, until Joe followed his blushing bride to the natal couch. There was only a dim light in the room, but it enabled Joe as he glanced blushingly around, to see the sweetest face in the world, rosy cheeks and ripe lips, the loving blue eyes,and the golden curls just peeping from out the snowy sheets, and he extinguished it altogether and hastened to -disrobe himself. Off came the coat, vest, fan¢y necktie and collar, boots and socks in a hurry; but somehow the pants stuck. The more he tried the more they wouldn’t come, and he tugged vainly for half an hour. “Thunder!” muttered Joe. © *“What is the matter, dear?” came in the softest of accents from the bed, wlhere somebody was wondering if he was ever going to come to-her arms. It was a moment of desperation.— Joe was entirely overcome by the situation, and forgetting his accustomed bashfulness blurted out: ;

-~ “Molly, that cursed Tom Bennett has sewed my pants, drawers, shirt ‘and undershirt all fogether ?” : “It is all too bad. Wait a moment, |dear.” A little stockingless foot first peeped out, then a ruffled- night-dress, the lamp Wasl}ight-ed, a pair of scissors found and Joe released. Although J denies it, Tom DBennett swears thgg his - wedding-shirt was of the shortest possible length, reasoning a posteriori.

IN THESE DAYS of foolish display, a good word must be said for Miss Stewart, daughter of Senator Stewart, who was married in Washington on the 3d of May. To begin with, the bride is said to be one of the most sensible as well as beautiful young ladies in Washington: She cooks, sews, markets for the family, and is versed in every useful accomplishment. Her. wedding cards, eschewing the silly custom of the times, had no monogram. The wedding was in her father’s house, at an early hour, and followed by agood,old-fashioned dance. There was but one bride’s maid, the bride’s sister. The bridal troussean was purchased enterely in Washington, and every article of it made at home under the personal supervision of the bride and her mother.' Finally, the newly wedded couple do not make a “tour,” but settle down atonce to com-mon-sense happiness. All this is refreshing. : :

A lady at Madison, Ohio, thinking pleasantly to surprise one ofher boafers, put a gold ring which he had lost, in a pancake and placed the production on his plate at breakfast. But the boarder bolted the pancake in sugh large bites that the presence of the ring was not discovered, and now it is lost again. A ot

- MR, LoGgAN informeéd the Senate last Thursday that he still has faith in the President. The voice of such a man ought to be heeded by his disciples in times like these. He believes it to be good policy to ery good Lord, good Devil. All devout inflationists should swell the chorus to his music.

It isn’t always best to-eall things by their right names. A young gentleman called a coach dog a Ba{xmation hound, and was informed by his sweetheart that if he could not refrain from profanity in her presence they must henceforth be strangers,

CYOLOPADIA, ‘ ; ; Within the last ten years the pro%ress of discoyery.in/every department of knowle ige has made a new work of referex{;:e an imgerm ve want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitfal application to the industrial and wseful arts and ‘the/convenience and refinement ofsocial life. Great wayrs and consequent revelutions have occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment . — The cjg)i’war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced: SEERat Large accessions to our Oeogrnghical knowledge have been made by the fndefat gable explorors of Africa. . ! ! “The great political revolations of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, & multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every que is curious to know the ‘pafticuiare. Greal battles have been fought and important sieges majntiuned, ot which the details ‘are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which onght now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. , S In preparing the present edition for the press it bas accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible ‘dates; and to furnish an accurate account of the ‘most recent discoveries in science, 6f every. fresh production in literature, and-of the newest inventionsin4he practical arts; as well as to give a.guccinct and original record.of the progress of political and historical cvents. i The work hasbeen begun after long and care= ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample -resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stéreotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopsedia with the same plan and compass as its predecessor; but with & far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with stuch improvements in its composition as - have Deen suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. B ; The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of }ilctoriﬂl’ effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They e\mbrace all branches of explanations in the text.! They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature- of scenery, ‘architecture. and art, as well as the various processes of mechenics and manufactures. Although intended for istruction rather than embe]lis%lment, no paing :ave been spared to insure their artistic excellence ; the cost of their execution ig enorntous, and it is believed they will find a welcome - reception as an admirable feature of the Oyclopzdia, and worthy of it high character.
