AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Destroying Canker "Worms The femaJo of the canker worm has not the power of fljing, and can only reach the extremities of the limbs, on which she deposits her eggs, by crawling up the trunk. They begin this with the first warm days of spring, weeks before buds and leaves are ready to put forth. It is quite common for them to do this while the nights are cold enough to harden tar in vessels around the trees intended to obstruct their progress. This ell method has therefore given vay to spraying the trees with water in which London purple or Paris green has been dissolved, thus killing the worms after they begin to eat. It requires very little poison to do this, two teaspoonfuls of poison to a barrel of water being sufficient. Too strong a dose might burn the apple leaves which when young are very tender. Pruning Forest Trees. A few leading rides for the proper per formance of this work should be care fully remembered, and then any one can do it reasonably well the first time and better every time afterward: First Study the tree well, and note where it is not. properly balanced and where limbs are interfering. Second Cut everything that n to be removed from the smalfest sprout to the larger limbs quite close to the base, and leave no stump, ; Third Cut away all the smaller young wood which grows inward to the centre, or-which crosses another, or which is evidently not wanted and will have to be removed at some future time. . Fourth The too luxuriant and lengthy new ,woo : of young trees should be shortened 4rie-half, cutting half an inch beyond a lud on the outer side of the branch, and never upon the inside, which would force the new growth in the wrong way. Fifth Every cut should be made smooth from ragged edges, and saw cuts should be smoothed over with a sharp knife. Sixth-Never use an axe. 2?eic York Time , N Keep Rees. "We advise every farmer to keep bees, not only for the money it may bring, but for the gratification of. his family. Vie advise it, as we do the growing of an abundance of strawberries, grapes, etc. ns one of the ties to attach children to the farm, by making it the best place on earth. We also advise it for its influence upon the young,, in teaching them to obj serve. Still, the main reason for keeping bees is, the "sweet tooth;" if that be gratified, all other benefits will follow. The way to begin bee-keeping is to begin small. If one procures a single colony in a modern, movable comb-hive, and by the aid of one of the standard works (such, as QuinbyV) cares for that colony audits' increase during the season, hp will have a knowledge of bee-keeping that will enable him to manage many hives, and which will enable him, if he should 6o elect, to keep bees for profit. One piece of advice should be heeded by all be ginners: Do not begin bec-kct'piii un less with the determination to give it that thought and care which will make it a success. Nothing can be more unprofit able and demoralizing than a neglected apiary. Begin, then, with a single hive, and experienced bee-keepers are agreed that this is the proper month in which to begin. American Agriculturist. A Point or two of Grafting. I An Old Grafter, says in the New York Tribune: It matters little how the graft is set if only the cut which exposes its , wood and the line between bark and wood is made smoothly, "so that it can at some point at least come' into close con tact with the same line or face on the stock, for this line is the only one on which new growth is made. The con tact must be close and held firmly either by a tie or by the natural pressure of a cleft stock. The wax used to cover every part of the wound closely and com pletely water tight, must not have any free fat or oil to soak out arid clog the circulation from cell to cell, and the for mation of new ones to effect the desired union. The -grafts must be of sound wood, fresh and plump. Cherry and plum (which must, be grafted ; early to Beciire success) are usually kept through the winter in .compact moss, roasted saw dust or mould, to secure them from in jury by winter winds and frosts by which they arc liable to suffer. The stock should be cut back, so that the grafts may be set either near the col lar or near a main branch, in order to its having a sufficiently copious supply f sap. The more we cut back the more young wood w e are likely to grow, and the longer we are likely to wait for fruit ing. If we set near the extremity of a healthy branch we see the fruit "sooner, but have less of it and smaller specimens, because of the scantier supply of sap so far ou,t from ihe loots. And there i.3 risk in setting graft3 very early on small ex terior shoots of the graft drviug too much to receive the sap when it arrives. Grafts must be kejpt entirely dormant un til set, the buds not startling in the least. They must neither, I e swelled with wetncs3 nor shrunk by dryness. F-rrt. and Garden Notes. - Good drainage is essential to a good garden. - , Cauliflower is a delicious1 vegetable, not as Well known outside our large cities as ii should be. . i "Horses need extra care aud plenty of time to eat in W-hen first "put to farm work in the spring. ' The thorough use of currycomb and brush on horses and cows that are shed ding their coats will pay. Plant Lima beans on the poorest soil you have, supply no manure and stop the growth of vines at the top of the poles by successive pinchings. Cow that kick or draw milk from their udders should be sent to the butcher. Remedies to prevent such vices we not only useless as permanent cures, Lat also troublesome to apply. - When sheep are hurdled on small areas it should not be overlooked that in addition to the profit they may srive the animals distribute the manure evenly, pressing it in'o the soil with their hoofs, which is q aite an item if the expense of hauling manure be considered. " Whenever sheep are afflicted with ticks or other animals with vermin, it indicates ilow condition of the system, caused either by the vermin in the first place, or by "improper feeding. The better the Condition of the animals the lesi liability to attack. They will not improve until relieved, and the longer, this be delayed the more difficult it will become. lhe deeper tne preparation o the soil the deper will the roots . penetrate, thus &dvan ing closer to moisture, as well a permitting of the growth of a large pro portion of those rootlets that collect food. If the soil be shallow and the subsoil hare the roots will spread nearer, the surface , thus rendering them not only more liabl to being winter killed, but also to damagt from drought. ; ' The" supposition that young sows an better for breedipg purposes than thos two or three years old has done much t impair the vigor of swine. The custon of using young sows grew out of the loss of young pigs by pressure from the heavy dams, but a large j breeding) sow shoulc not be fat and heavy. A sow over twe years old will give more milk than i younger one, and,' as a rule, she will pro duce stronger pigs. The reason poultry killed at home though young, is -not as' tender as tha bought at the market, is that the forme: is generally not killed until wanted, anc when eaten is still rigid with death, whih that bought at the poulterer's has beer killed at least hours more often days Poultry ought to be killed several days before being eaten, dressed at once, and. with a few bits of charcoal in it, hung ir a cool place. The hereditary law of transmission o: vigor and health holds as strongly in th vegetable as in the animal kingdom, ac cording to experiment. E. S. Goff se lected seeds from! a feeble tomato plant, and also from a healthy plant of the saint variety. A row of feeble plants and a row of healthy plants-were the result. Suc cessive experiments showed the same dif ference. Seeds from an immature or greer tomato produced feeble plants. The easiest and! surest way to destroy Canada thistles is to give an absolutt summer fallow, by which no green thinr. is allowed to appear above the surface Shallow plowing once in two weeks dur ing one season's growth will do this. I: there be rocks, stumps, etc., all thesi places must be hoed thoroughly at eact plowing. If the remaining weak root; 'should send up tops the next season, j thorough cultivation in corn will kill out those remaining, j The prevention of anj green plant from! making leaves for on whole season will totally eradicate it. Origin of Some Political Phrases. "Are you going home to look aftei your fences?" a j reporter of the Cin cinnati Enquirer asked John Sherman, who laughed heartily and replied : "Do you know (how that expression originated? No? f Then I'll tell you. When I was Secretary of the Treasury came home to Mansfield for a few days at one time. As soon a3 I got there there was an influx of newspaper correspond ents from all parts. Some of them an nounced that I was getting ready to rim for "Governor; others that I was working up a boom for thes presidential nomina tion. One of them came to me find boldly asked me what I was doing in Ohio. It just happened that on that day I 'had con tracted with a man to repair some fences on my place that were in a tumble-dovm condition. So when that newspaperman asked me what I was doing in Ohio 1 told him that Iliad come home to look after my fences. 1 He published what 1 said, the expression was taken up by the papers and Avcnt. all over. It has even been" used on some occasions in the Brit ish Parliament. It's funny how thee, political expressions originate. In some' city just before election the Democrats emp-oyed an immense number of laborers to lay water pipesj That's what gavje rise to the expression 'lay in' pipes.' You re member that at one time the Democrats were called locofocos. During a 'Demo cratic 'meeting ia Xew'York the partici pants greAv so turbulent that it became necessary to extinguish the lights.

Our ancestors of the eighteenth century, in fact, ate. and drank more like swine than human beings, and long before thej had- attained the "ge of 40 set up paunches, the like of which are never seen nowadays, and which made them a subject of laughter for gods and men. pleeding was necessary to preserve these folks from apoplexy, and a man of the last century resorted as regularly to his surgeon as his modern successor pays a monthly visit to his hairdresser. Persons were elegantly told by adver tisement in the papers of 1701 that, "at the Ilummuras in C'ovent Garden," they "might sweat in the cleanest, aud he cupped after. the newest, manner." The charge without the cupping was very high, even in those days os Cd. The 'Hum mums, apparently a corruption of "Hainmams," was simply the Turkish bath of the present day under its then name.

A Chicago dispatch gives th3 following particulars about a proposed combination of the three leading Socialistic organizations in this country: ; . l - A few days ago a report was published about a projectel combination of the three principal Socialistic organizations in this country the Re 1 International, the Black International, and the Socialistic Labor Par t v. While the aims and designs o tha so-called Black International, or the International "Working People's Association, thanks to the Anarchists' trial, have become widely known, nobody knew or hardly ever heard of the Red IntemationaJgcor the International Work men's Assfeation, as bein? a specific organization of Socialists along the Pacific coast. This organization was founded, in San Francisco in US&5. It was organ ized in all the principal cities throughout the Western States after the model of the Knights of Labor assemblies, and is by far more secret than that organization. It is now authoritatively announceJ by an organ of the Socialists that the leader of the '.'Reds' proposes there shall be an uprising in 1WJ. What would occur were the uprising he counts on successful is thus outlined: "The circumstances which may, permit decisive action will probably be these: In 1889 the present panic will approach a climax. It will be widespread and alarming, ac companied by closed factories, starving workers, rioting, and th-3 use of military "force. It may even, complicated by a bitter class feeling, result in a suppression of the rights of free speech, meeting, and press. Until then, unless the whole people are aroused, it is the duty of the wise Socialist to hold aloof from riots in special localities. The time is not yet ripe for success; we have coantol our heads and we know it. To strike this year would be to uselessly slaughter our best people and put back the cause a hundred years. o, at present ? we j must be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves. We must take ail vantage of it for agitation and education only. We must speak much and act not at all." When the working people are hungry their brains weaken. One year' of panic means . a trebling of our forces at the very least. And while, with, our present 100,030. Socialists, forci ble action is impossible, -with 400,000 (what next panic will give us if we manage wisely), we hold the game in our own hands. We have, perhaps, until 1880, time in which to perfect our planp. ; That year in Europe will surely bring grave results. In America, if figures lie. not, another panic, greater, deeper and more widespread than the preced ing, will b3 upon us. Then, and not till then, may we risk a cast of the iroa die. Then may we strike the strike to win. The article statss that they expect to have in the United States in 18S9 at teast 500,000 earnest Socialists, divided ; somewhat as follows: Chicago, 25,000; New York, 25,000; in the New England factory States, 100,000: in the central coal and iron region, 100,000; in ? Colorado and the Western States, 50,000; on the Pacific coast, 50, (XX); in the Atlantic and Southern cit ies, altogether, 103,000, and scat tared at various points in towns and villages, 50,000 mom The article proceeds a.s, follows : "The panic comes, the public are excited, outbreaks occur, the large centres revolt, the places where but a few Socialists exist are made points for rallying of the conservative element. In those small places it should be made the duty of the Socialists there presid-. ing, seeretely and with all the aid of science in destructive warfare, to raise suffi cient turmoil to keep the con servatives busy at 'home. Meanwhile, in large centres bold measures should be taken. Our people should head, lead andcon-i trol the popular revolt: should seize the places of- power; should lay hands upon the machinery of the Government. Once in stalled in power, the revolutionary commit tee should follow this course of avtiou. The decrees should at cu?e be promulgated and enforced." f : ; ; It is proposed to mak? Chicago tha head quarters of the uprising in 1S30 which is to follow the combination of the different branches of the Internationalis's, and quit? an elaborate programme is outlined of the manner in which the style of government will b3 changed after the revolt has proved snccessfnl. The year 1880 is also the one decided in 188' by the National Federation of Trades and Labor Assemblies as the one in which tha - eight-hour : rule should go . into effect. - ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Joh.n Quincy Adams and John Ilancok, the signer," married two sisters, the daughters of a noted Methodist divine in Connecticut. John Quincy was a favorite with the old people, and 3Iarys choice was approved by them. So, when the banns were published the parents said, . "Mary, if you will Tnrnish the text I will preach you a wedding sermon.". She was equal to the task and gave the text: "3Iary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her." Needless to say that justice was done to the occasion and the text. Not so with Margaret, who in the meanwhile was receiving the attentions of her John in a very inexpensive way, as far as her parents were concerned, for it is said that "he never crossed his legs under their festive board." So when the. banns were published she said to her father, - . "Father, you preached a wedding ser mon for Mary; cannot you preach one for me?" Heat first demurred, but at last con sented and called for the text, when Margaret, whe was equal to the occasion, said, 'And John came, neither eating ?nor drinking, and yet ye say he hath a devil." A Famous Detective. James Jackson, the famous State detec tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally in attendance at the prison. His duties are to examine carefully the face of every convict as he enters and to scrutinize every visitor in order to prevent any dis charged convict from seeing his pals. Occasionally he has to make long jour neys in pursuit. of runaway prisoners or lb. identify criminals convicted ia other States. lie never makes a mistake; if once he looks a man in the eye he will know him under anyvdisguise, a'i he tells his man by the look of his eyes. Once an escaped convict had his nose pared down 0D.e-third, but-; Jackson detected him at once, notwithstanding this remark able change of feature. Mr. Jackssn is about 5 feet 8 inches in height, about 35 years old, of a light and sinewy build, with black hair and, piercing black eyes, and is altogether remarkably handsome. He knows about 10,000 criminals, and it is simply wonderful that he can distin guish the features of every one. On his' long journeys he eats very moderately and always takes one Brandreth pill at night." When much fatigued by the jolt ing of the cai s on his tiresome trips he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on the small of the back, which give him renewed yigor and quickly relieve him of all weariness. These are the only two remedies he uses, and he attributes his vigor and remarkable health to Allcock's Porous Plasters and Brandrcth's Pills. Sing Sing, N. Y., Daily Reghter. Be Cautions. Even exercise, which by s ome is con sidered food, health and life, should be taken moderately. It' must be avoided early in the morning before breakfast on an empty stomac i. The air is very un wholesome early in the morning, and until the the sun has purified it, to breathe it freely is injurious. Malarial and chest diseases are liable to be taken. People who arc not professional athletes cannot stand the fatigue of exercise her fore breakfast, aud it even weakens t::e regular professional ones who arc ignor ant. The system is weaker when a per son rises than any other period during the day. Says a professional athlete; I was forced to walk twenty miles before breakfast when I began to train. I came back weak and exhausted. It was wrong, and did me more harm than good. The proper way is to rise an hour or so after the sun is up, take a light breakfast, and after the meal has thoroughly digested take the exercise. Pernicious Literature. The best society for the suppression of pernicious literature is the family.
