Prof. A. J. Coon, of the Michigan f Agricultural College,in a recent addi ess ) made the following suggestions for aba- p ting these. ■ p The cabbage worur was described, * The way to exterminate it every time c is with powdered pyrethrum forcibly \ blown on the plant with a "duster." If a fresh it can be surely relied on and is \ not in the least poisonous to the human i tribo. To be sure to get it fresh send f to Bullae Manufacturing Co., Stockton, t Cal. The kerosene emulsion is a ofr- j tain thing on the chinch bug. Make it t this way : One pint of kerosene to two i pints of soft, whale oil or other soap. I Mix thoroughly and dilute with one t gallon of water. The clover undge ( works on the red clover seed. The best | thing to do if the insects are found wor- ' king in it is to plow under at ooco. For 1 plant lice use the kerosene emulsion. If j it is thrown ou with sufficient force with j the "atomizer" it will succeed every , I titnu. For lice on poultry, rub the ' | feathers the wrong way and blow pyre- tbruin in fciicibly with the "dusier." t It will kill all of lham. To kill hoc on , cattle or horses take one-half pound of tolmcoo. pour ouo-tliird pail very hot water on it, and with a sponge rub thoroughly ovtr every pait of the uni- | mat. It the first application docs not ; kill til, gi»'B another For the squash j bug, lay chips early in the sea.-nm aiound the plant, and very early in the morning ibev will ho rocsting under the chips when you can kill them. For the strt md squash beetle, make a solution of I o|) j-teaspoont\vl of Paris green li two ! pails of waTtfh unJ nn "♦rung"'-- w 11 will kill the plant* th« plaoU and bugs. The codling moth aau W ker worm ttru terrible cocuiiujj of the apple tree. To destroy tho oodliug | moth, mix one pound of Paris preen with ) | 100 gallons of water. Throw on with a force pump and *prt) all oyer the trees Don't put on until tho apples are as large as peas or you wilt kilt our {tienda, tho busy bees. SPECULATION IN RIO tOFFEK. j Tho speculation in Rio coffee lias been much more active, and prices advauoed smartly down to the oloso ot yesterday's business on strong reports from Havre and Rio Janeiro, but today there was a partial decline under sales tu realise, with aelUrs at sl3 2-)a13.'25 for the earlior and $13.85a13.40 for the later months. Coffee ou tho spot was quite active, and the quotation for fair cargoes Rio was advanced to 1-Ho., and uitM grades were marked up 4c.. with a larpe business.—V. Y. Financial Ckronklt, .March 26. IMPORTANCE OF GRASS Years of observation have satisfied us that one of the greatest need* of the South is grass—grans for hoy and grass for fertilising. Without a rotation of orops there cannot be any successful agriculture and without grass or clover there cannot be any successful rotation of crops, nor without these or *oy other feeding orops can there be any manure at ail adequato to the necessities of the land. This bas been the experience of the successful farmers of tie North, and it will prove equally trueia the South. The great advantages of grass and Hovt are the roots and stutyie of tliese orops, and the occasional plowing under of the ivbole growth, which lurntshes a large amouut of feitiliwiig matter. This is and long has been the practice North, but it has been almost unknown in the South, and in consequence the yield of the crops commonly grown, end which arc exceedingly pshaustive, is becoming more meagre and less profitable. This is proved bv the general average is shown uy the Agricultural Department, by which it is seen that the yield of cotton is about 150 pounds to the acre, worth at the present price less than $9, while the yield of corn >s no more than seven to ten busbeli in tli • majori'y of coses, ..lid that of wheat no uiore. j Tliis is the inevitable result of the pros em system, iu which grass bus no place i at a.I. Grass, however, flouiishes as well in tho South as uliywhure else, aud suiue indigenous varieties grow here to t» per fection known to no otuer part ot the Union. For permanent pasture and hay the Bermuda grass is excellent. It is impossible to kill it, except by plow ing and cultivating, bcea-ise of its pe culiar habit, which gives It u special value for Geld growth. It yields a large quantity ot bay, aud the liucst pasture. Ehzaboth City North Carolina. SELECT THE SMALLER TREES Many persons, when ibout to ?ot out fruit trees, choose BUCII as arc older ami larger. Jtut this is n mistakc.'.is tne ex perience of evory old farmer 111 orchard planting proves. The digging up of the stocks Iroui tho nursery gtouods is nec essarily a severe interference with t c various conditions ot their growth, con sequently the larger the treolhe greater will be the effort to everoome the injur ies after the transplanting, for that ef fort or reaotiou must go ou through ev ery cell and fibre of the stock, whereas a smaller tree will requiro lose effort in that direction—beside, in the digging up it will sustain less injury, generally having more of its fine rootlets retained to btgin the new growth. Generally, our people in this fasi age are too im patient in the matter of fruit growing. They wast ti> have an orchard quickly. Life is too short. 'I hey cannot wait. So their visions of delicious apples peachc: und peais prompt them to order of the nurseryman his largest trocs. These they plant ouly to find in ufter years that in uot sotting out itie young er and smaller >rces they made a great mistake.— American Farmer.

A prominent oitizon of Alamance county said to ub : "I can go among the farmers of my county and in twelve hoars borrow $50,000 at sir per cent. "How do y u account for this financial .trooplll,'' wa inquired. "It is largely owing," said he "to the fact that we have several large cotton factories, giv lug employment to thousands who must bo fed and furnish markets for every thing almost that our farmers have to sell. You would be »mprised to visit an- odc of tbese factories aud see the great variety of things brought there by the far.a.Ts to sell t They sell .very thing, and bcuce they produ.o every thing and got the cash for it."
