A, pupa; B, larva; C, adult. moat important: "Practice a rotation which will prevent crops of clover occupy- ing the same ground for more than three consecutive years in any case and if possi- ble not more than two years. Sow clover on land -DA far from infested fields as possi- ble. Pasture old, infested fields, upon which a crop of seed is to be grown the fol- lowing year so that no aftermath will re- main to sheltering the hibernating worms. In manuring the field in spring be careful not to apply litter which will not be rotted by the following autumn, and give the land only a light dressing of it. It may be heavily =snored if a different crop is to be grown the next season. The larvre have not yet been observed to enter the'soil- for shelter or to pupate, though search was made for them ther e in the Spring. , If a field is badly infested in May and June, cut the hay as early as pos- sible and handle it carefully to prevent shoking out the worms'. Do not use a tedder in handling infected hay if it can be saved economically in another way. Stack or shock as soon as possible after cutting. In extreme cases the following additionol remedies may be needed : Leave narrow strips of clover standing at intervals of six or eight rods. The moth will deposit their eggs in the blossoms of this standing clover. Cut the strips as soon as the second brood have disappeared, caring for the hay with the express object of destroying the cater- pillars and without regard to saving the forage. The second growth of the remain- der of the field can be allowed to fill for seed or to be used in any other way desir- ed. When a clover field is broken up, plow it some time in October or November or in early spring when the third brood of larvre is close to the ground. Harrow and roll the field to cover everything. When the plowing is done in the autumn, the safest plan is to only harrow the fol- lowing spring, so as not to stir it too deep. ohil ACRE FARM FOR SALE. -The 200 acre 4.11JU farm, being lots 11 and 12, concession 16, Grey, is offered for Sale. 120 sores are cleared snd the balance is well timbered.

How It Is to Be Constructed and Set Up. Our illustration represents a convenient form of hurdles, suitable for confining sheep, pigs, calves, eic., on odd patches of land around whigh it will not pay to build a permanent fence. It is a very simple contrivauce, easily constructed and little time is required to set it up and stake it ready for use. The illustration is of a four board hurdle, though a three board one will answer for sheep or calves and is a lit- tle lighter to handle. The panels are made of ordinarylence boards or sometimes of boards 4 -inches wide. The top and bot- tom board of each panel extends about three inches beyond the upright cleat al shown at B. It is well to have an upright across the middle of the panel, the same as those shown at the ends. These were omitted ia the drawing by mistake. The triangles are made of fence boards nailed together with notches two inches wide, shown at D. The hurdles are locked at ••••••••• the corners by the arrangement shown at C. The corner panels stand at right angles; the one to which the tongue is attached is lifted upend the bottom of the other is leaned in until the tongue passes through the opening :)aetweeu the cleats and drops down outside of the bottotn board; then the other panel is lifted until its top board will pas over the top of the tongue when it ie dropped down inside of it, locking the corner securely. After the hurdles are set up as Shown at A, it is well to drive a light stake by the outer corners of the triangles and nail the triangle to it to prevent the wind blowing it over or the stock pushing it out of place. This is a good time to make hurdles to use next season. They are very convenient for fencing off small portions of a clover lot, peas and oats or other forage orop for pigs, where it is de. sirable to have them feed off a small patch clean and be moved to a fresh place when that is gone. ELECTRIC SPARKS. Brief Notes of Progress In the Briglitent of the Sciences. A chemical company has ordered a large generator for the use in the manufacture of bleaching powders, the amperage to be equal to affording sufficient heat to decom- pose common salt, from which chlorine is obtained. a,a A complete set of electrical cooking ap- pliances is to be placed on the new whale -back steamer Colhmbus which will be the first vessel to be thus equipped. For clinical 'work a Frenchman has de- vised an exceedingly delicate and quick - reading electrical thermometer, capable of showing a varation in temperature of one - twentieth of a degree centigrade. The greatest cable corporation ef the world is the Eaftern Telegraph Company. with 25,386 miles of line, extending from Cornwall to Bombay, and connecting vari- ous intermediate points. *** A New England man has invented ot railway car -brake, operated by electricity, which is claimed to be as effective as the air brake. 'Do Womon Know. That a saucepan of boiling water put in the oven while baking bread or rolls will, by its steam, keep the crust smooth and tender. That when the oven is too hot, putting in a pan of cold water will reduce the tent"- perature. That for keening mitre supolies nothiaa pieces with the end on a piece of iron and putting weights in the centre, it was found that the white oak broke, while the fir sus- tained one-quarter more weight without showing signs of breakirig. In a te-t for end breaking the white os a showed its, sn- periority on account of icafine, close grain. Thereforewhere fir ean he used flat, i is stronger than oak; brit where the thaere are to be used in the shape of pile driver or battering rams, °kik or ether finc-grained woods are best. To DARKEN OAK. —Oak for decorative wood work is produced by fumigating the material with ammouiacal vapor, which ef- fectively prodinas the dark coloring so much desired; In accomplishing this, the method consists in placing the material to be dark- eped in an approximately air -tight room in which no light enters ; or for small work a packing box will suffice, the joints or cracks to be well pasted over with paper. In this room or receptacle for depositing the furni- ture or other article is placed a flat porcelain or earthen vessel filled with ammonia, the vessel containing the liquid being, of course, set on the ground or floor, that the fumes or vapor may strike to advantage the articles to be darkened ; If the apartment is large, two or more vessels centaining ammonia may be employed and allowed to remain un- til the desired effect is secured. The am- monia does not touch the oak, but the gas that proceeds from it acts in a peculiar man- ner upon the tannic acid contained in oak, browning it so deeply that a shaving or two may actually be taken off without re- moving the color. The depth of shade de- pends on the quantity of ammonia used and the duration of exposure. *** The second electric cable made in France is now being laid between Mar- seilles and Tunis, a distance of about 700 miles. 4,11* The French Government has approved a proposition to lay a cable between New Caledonia and Australia. *** A 2000 candle-power arc lamp has blifip erected on the obelisk be St. George's Circus, London. *** Starch of the lower qualities is now successfully and profitable bleached by electricity. *** Cairo' - in the land of the Pharaohs is, soon to be illuminated by the electric light. Flowers From Home. ON RECEIVING A /MUM FOR FLOWZRS. Oh, send me some flowers from home, The dear little spot oft I see In dreams of the night wherever I roam ; My thoughts often wander to thee. Does my mother still tend to the bed Where the °roma and primroses bloom ? And the violeto cover their heads While shedding around sweet perfume. Does the little wren still build her neat In the midst of the barberry tree And while thinking of those she loves best Send one loving thought after me ! Oh, send me some -flowers from home, Sweet tokens of friendship so true, In my dreams of the night, wherever I roam, My thoughts fondly wander to you. ELIZABETH GRAHAM. Good Counsel. A man who is not ashamed of himself need not be afraid of hie early condition. The trouble with a man covering up his tracks is that he makes new one in do- ing it. Hear both sides and all shall be clear ; hear one side and you may still be in the dark. Do not persecute the unfortunate, as it is like throwing stones on ere fallen into a well. Hope is itself a species of happiness, and perhaps the chief happiness the world' affords, Resignation is an invaluable treasure which cannot, by the most violent evils, be taken trom us. Familiarity does not breed contempt ex- cept of contemptible things or in contempti- ble people. Happiness is a perfume which one cannot shed over another without a few drops fall- ing on one's self. Brainy Blind Men. Thomas Blackloek, D. D., one of the most learned men of the eighteenth cen- tury, was blind at the age of three months. Francis Huber, the Swiss naturalist, lost his sight at an early age, became an eminent entomologist, and wrote on bees, ants and other insects. Iu 1685 lived Nicholas Sanderson, who, although he became blind at the age of three years, actually became learned in two of the most difficult branches—astronomy and mathematics. Herman Torrentius, a blind Swiss, born in 1520, became one of the principals of the University of Berne, the author of a poetical dictionary of merit, besides works on his- tory and botany. David Macbeth, the inventor of the string alphabet for the blind, was born blind. He was an accomplished musician, a perfect prodigy in mathematics and an in- ventor of no :men order of merit. John Metcalf, blind at the age of four years, and a most wonderful production of the last century, was born at Ktutres- borough, Yorkshire, England, in 1717. He was the most expert violinist in till England when only 12 years old. Vidal, the blind sculptor, is one of the wonders of the French capital. He has beeu blind since his 21e4 year. By slowly passing his hands over an object he notes its external proportions and imitates them in °ley in a manner which etrikes the be- holder dumb with surprise, Henry Fawcett, the blind English post- master -general, who died in 1884, was a greater man by half after the unfortunate accident, whioh deprived him of sight, than he ever was before. He was born in 1833 and lost his eyes in1858, at the age of 25, from the effect of a gunshot wound. John Gough, totally blind from the age of three yearn, became quite celebrated as a botanist and wrtter on subjects pertaining to natural philosophy. He arranged, by the sense of touch alone, and without the least aid from any living human being, one of the largest and most valuable collections of dried herbs and grasses at that time (1780) known in Britain. Mr. Herresboff, the blind president of the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, of Bristol, Rhode Island, seems es much out of his element in his present capacity se ,either the blind sculptor lor the blind postmasterleneral. Aside from Edison, the Government has recognized him as being one of the greatest Inventors of the times.— New York Morning Journal. Snubbed the Prince. In spite of the privacy which Tennyson maintained many are the anecdotes of him or of his household. It is told that once a certain famous Prince of the house of Hanover, familiar with the poet's shrinking habits, yet an. xious to pay his respects to him, found himself near Tennyson's home in the Isle of Wight.
