It ie iu fact eo common, that soedsmon find it dilli.cultte select localities in which it is not known, where their Heed -eche may be grown. Now thorn comas another, and more miens enemy to the pea, Soon after the middle of Tana the attention of some farmers was called to the peas, which were certainly in a bad state. In some rows there were wide gape without a healthy plant, and through the patob there were enough yellow and dying vines, to give the whole an unhealthy appearance. The far- mer had already discovered that the destruction of the vines was clue to the presence of a grub at the root. No insect was discovered about the pea patch, early in the eeaeon, and it cannot be ascertained what insect pauses the trouble, until perfect in - soots can be raised from the grubs of larva. This we have arranged for, and hope to know in due time the perfect unmet, and the beet way of at- tacking it. This is a most serious matter to pea growers. The young vines, when throe or four inches high, suddenly turn yellow, fall over and die. No warning is given, and one is not award of the enemy until the mischief is done, and the plants past all help. Cooling the Collars. A great mistake is sometimes made in ventilating cellars and milk houses. The object of ventilation ie to keep the cellars cool and dry, but this ob- ject often fails of being accomplished by a common mistake, and, instead, the cellar is made both warm and damp. A cool place should never be ventilated, unless the air admitted is cooler than the air within, or is at least as cool as that, or a very little warmer. The warmer tbeair, the more moisture is condensed and jecipitat- ed. When a cool cellar is aired on a warm day, the entering air being in motion appears cool ; but as it fills the cellar, the cooler with which it becomes mixed shills it, the moisture is condensed, and dew is deposited on the cold walls, and may often be seen running clown them in streams. Then the cellar is damp, and soon becomes moldy. To avoid this, the windows should only bo opened at night, and late—the last thing before retiring. There is no need to fear that the night sir is unhealthful—it is as pure as the air of midday, and is really drier. The cool air enters the apart- ment during the night, and emulates through it. The windows should be closed before sunrise in the morning, and kept closed and shaded through the day. If the air of a cellar ie damp it may be thoroughly dried by pack- ing in it a peek of fresh lime in an open box. A. peck of lime will absorb about seven pounds, or more than three quarts of water, and in this way a cellar or milkroom may soon be dried, even in the hottest weather. Sumner Poultry Hints. Fowls need plenty of shade these midsummer days, and pure fresh water, too. blest hens aro easily "broken" of a desire to sit, if at the first attempt to remain on the neat over night they are placed in new quarters for a few days or until the fever is over. Oatmeal mush is good for fowls that seem a little "off" in health. Don't forget to give hens in confinement a feed of some kind of green stuff ; young clover is well relish- ed, and fresh grass of any kind will not be refused. We don't know how lettuce fed for any considerable time would affect tbcm, but having an extra supply of late, have been throwing it to them every evening for a few days. They eat it greedily. Coops for young chinks an best made with a partial board bottom for them to cluster on in wet weather ; the roofs should be watertight. Place 000ps near the border of the garden that the chicles may take a abase after the in- sects. Tho little fellows can do no possible harm, and they will soon de- stroy their weight iu noxious bugs and worms. Some poultry writers say damaged wheat is good for fowls, We don't use it; the best, of any kind of grain is none too good for ours. Olean out the henhouse, nests and all, now, and fumigate thoroughly to got riot of lice. Wash perches, etc,. with koro - eerie. Itwill soon bo time to separate the cockerels from the pullots ; with the early hatched, it is boot to do it now. Bill off the old cocks to make room for good soleotione from among the younger ones. It is estimated that noarly 100,000 baskets of strawberries has this year been disposed of in the neighborhood of Pioton, SPECIAL ANNO THE BRUSSELS POST ._—O -L' "1_1 H Ri__ GARP I E s._1D HOUSE. —A JOB LOT OF— Mo2.'s & Boy's Iaxd Sc Soft Felt iIats, Bought at 40 Cents on the $ to be sacrificed at the Garfield House.
