Brownville, Aprii IIth,I65I. - 40-jlj - To Exterminate Pea-Rngs. "What shall I -do 'to rid my-peas of bugs?" exclaim both' gardeners and farmers. And we will I attempt a re ply. The pea-weevil, a-siaall, brown bag or fly, appears early in the Spring, at the time the first crops of peas are forming their pods. He sting3 the tender pod, right against the nascent pea, and deposits an egg. Sometime he punctures every pea. A grub is soon hatched, which eats hii way into the heart of the pea. Here he grows apace, and by the time the"pea: is ripe he is full grown, about an eighth of an inch long.' He is now a white grub, and has eaten out nearly one half of the pea. His next -step is to pass into the pupa state, " where he remains until the last of autumn, when he becomes a black beetle, arid is prepared, on the opening of Spring, to attack young: peas and to reproduce his kind. , This being. the natural his tory of the insect, we may judge when arid how to, attack him. The black bird, : crow arid 'oriole are his Bone enemies, But they do little towards exterminating him.V Of the several methods employed successfully, here is one: . .. .. 7 V ' . , Make as many' wooden ;boxes as you have varieties of seed, and fit them with tight covers. After gathering, sorting and drying the seeds, put three or four bits of camphor, the size: of. a pea, into each box, shake well together and put away. .' The bugs will be dis gusted. Another way is, to scald the seed for about half a minute in boiling water, just before planting. This will, at least, destroy the grubs in the seed.; If peas are buggy, we usually take ourj seed, a peck at a time, and just before sowing, -.pour in boiling-water enough to cover them;, then, stir until cool, and sow. The scalding has never appeared to injure the germs, while it utterly destroys the bugs and hastens the sprouting. ... If too Urge amass of peas- be taken, together, or "if yapi'l Etirri::. ' emitted, ,they r2"- v,' "i- jured.Lv,tLo lit; at. ' . I Aribther is this : Gather the pea3 as soon ; as ripe, - dry them for ! two days in the sun. Then put, about a pint at a time, in a colander, cover with a pan, set them" over a vessel of boiling water; keeping them there untill the steam has penatrated the whole mass of seed. Then spread them out'to dry,ttnd put away m boxes or papers. This will kill the pupa, while it will not injure the germ of the seed. Peas sown as late as the middle of June, are seldom infested with the weevil, because its period for deposit ing eggs is then past. It is a common and good practice to sow peas for the next year's seed very -late, in the sea son. American Agriculturist. Rape Fields for Bee Pasturage. 1 The rapidity with which bees will build comb and gather honey, under favorable circumstances, is so extra ordinary as to be almost incredible. Mr. Brink says that he h&s known a strong swarm to fill its hive with comb in seventy-two hours ; and that colo nies expelled in August, put into empty hives, and transported to the heaths, would fill the hive with new comb and gather from thirty to forty rounds ,of honey,, in the brief season in which they could labor. In the spring of 1853, one of his neighbors carried his stocks, whose stores were nearly exhausted, to a distant rape field then 'in blossom. The weather was raw and unfavorable at the time suddenly changed, becoming mild and clear. The bees' labored so success fully, that after a few days his neigh bor called on him Tor advice, saying that the liquid honey was running in streams from the hives. On examin ation ,it appeared that all the combs were fiilled to overflowing, in conse quence of the superabundance of nec tar. Bee Journal.' if The Affections the Food of Life. The affection? are the true food of life. They underlie all conduct. From them conduct departs, and to them it returns, lo many, lite is absolute famine without love, and a perpetual feast with it. There be some who. if they are not loved, and they have no liberty. ot loving, tnougn. you place them never so nign, tnougn you surround them with every element touching their vanity, walk sepulchral. No matter what they have, they are not fed unless they are fed inwardly. They were made to feed at the heart, and not through any other part of them. And there are many that are full, and strong, and happy when feed ing upon love, who, when that is taken away, are utterly broken down and good for. nothing; are-like one that is starving to death.' With such persons, while the heart is filled, the. house is like a palace upon which the sun-light rests: by day, and whose glancing window3 make artificial day at night. . Hints on Cabcage Growln ' A failure of this crop is common from the disease called "anbury," or "fingers arid toes';" the roots swell and after a time rot off ; .new roots are often sent out which keep the plant alive, and give hopes of success. But the disease soon reaches the new roots, and after a hard struggle the plant dies, or starts too late to make a good head, - Fortunately, this most destruc tive disease generally showes itself by the time the plants are large enough to set out, and where the roots show the least tendency to swelling, the plants should be rejected at once. The grand remedy of the cabbage growers who supply our large vegeta-. ble markest is, never to plant the same piece of ground with this crop two years in succession. " The cabbage is more sensitive than most other plants, to feeding upon its own decay. For this reason, unusual care should be taken in preparing hot-beds for starting plants, during this month. If the same soil have been, used for starting plants the year before.it will be very likely to impart the disease to the young plants. Very much de pends upon the preparation of the seed bed, whether it ..bV under glass or not. For late plants it is well enough to plant the seed in the hills, but for the early crop, it is indispensable to have either cold-frame plants, kept through the winter, or those started as early as March, in a gentle hot-bed. Whatev er' the amount of manure used, there should be at least six inches of fresh soil upon the top. ; Leaf mold from the woods, . mixed with sand or with yellow: loam,., make3 a good seed bed in which to start the plants. The writer has always suc ceeded better with cabbage upon green sward broken up the. previous Fall, than upon any other ground. In such soil, we may use almost any quantity of stable manure with decided advan tage to the plants.; Hog raanuru is I always tc be avoided. 1 have never yet .succeeded in composting it with so much muck as to make it entirely safe for this crop. Ashes are excellent, both as a manure and as a safeguard against insects. They should be used in the seed bed, and around the plants soon after transplanting. Cor. Am. Agriculturist. Onr Daughters. The greatest danger to our daught ers in the present time is tho neglect of domestic education. Not only to themselves but to husbands, families, and the community at large, does the evil extend. By far the greatest amount of happiness in civilized iife is found in the domestic relations, and most of those depend on the domestic culture' and habit of the wife and mother. Let our daughters be intel lectually educated as highly as possi sible; let their moral aud social nature receive the highest graces of vigor and refinement; but along with these, let the domestic virtues find a prominent place. . We cannot say much about our daughters being hereafter wives and mothers, but we ought to think much of it, and give the thought prominence for their education. Good wives they cannot be, at least for men of intelli gence, without mental culture ; good mothers they certainly cannot be with out it ; and more than this, they can not be such wives as men need, unless they are good housekeepers, without a thorough and practical training to that end. Our daughters should be prac tically taught to bake, wash, sweep, cook, set table, and do everything ap pertaining to the order, neatness, economy of the household. All this they can learn as well as not, and better than not. It need not interfere in the least with their intellectual education, nor with the highest degree of refinement. On the contrary, it would greatly contribute thereto. Only let that time which is orse than wasted in idleness, sauntering and gossip, frivolous reading, and various modern female dissipations which kill time and health, be devoted to domesi tic duties and education, and our daughters would soon be all that the highest interests of society demand. A benign, elevating influence would no forth through all the families of the land. Health and happiness would now sparkle in many a lustreles3 eye, the bloom would return to butify many a faded cheek, and doctor's bills would give way to bills of wholesome fare. Arthurs Magazine. As it is the sun that ripens, as it is the sun that ?ive3 color and flavor, as it is the sun that is required to do all thinrrs in the life of a plant, so, in the life of every man the power of God on the soul is mdispensible to the devel opment of the higher faculties, and their development m the highest torms. Valae of Roots for Stock. Among well-informed men there is a great diversity of opinion as to the value of roots, and particularly carrots, as food for horses, cattle and sheep. Much has been said and printed upon the subject, without so far settling the question as to make their true com parative value generally well under stood by those most interested. Hence some are feeding carrots quite exten sively, while others are not using them at all. We have frequently seen an analysis of carrots, showing that they contain but a very small per cent, of nutriment, compared with grain; and yet some contend that a horse will work as well upon them as upon oats, and two bushels of carrots are worth as much for food for a horse, whether idle or at work, as one bushel of good oat3. Others on the contrary, regard them as but of little value except oc casionally, for a change, and many do not raise them at all though they have abundance of land adapted to their successful cultivation, and their yield i3 from two hundred and fifty to five hundred bushels to the acre, and sometimes even more than this largest quantity, when cultivated in the most approved way. The correct settlement of this ques tion is of the greatest importance to stock men, since upon it may depend may depend much of their profit and success as feeders and raisers. Most of those who have had experience in feeding carrots recommend their cul ture and free use for all kinds of stock, and especially for horses and milch cows. They give a horse a fine glossy coat and soft pliable skin, prevent heaves and improve the gen eral health and 'condition of the ani mal. When fed to milch cows they increase the flow of milk and give to butter a peculiar rich color and supe rior flavor. Tr rrr crrrb-riT -"b t bat rhst x ' ' 1? - ire que . :? u us a 11 01 grc.it adv. ' ; : to all nrsir: 3, p.r.,1 i;iure3 them better health 1 general contli. ticn than any other kind cn. Wc have reason to fear that this import- and point in the animal economy is sadly neglected by most 6tock men. Some feed their cattle alternately straw, corn fodder or roots and hay, and are. confident that this method keeps them in better appetite, and consequently better health, than when one kind of food i3 given continuously. We have no doubt but what carrots, parsnips, beets and turnips are of great value as ' tood, when properly fed, though carrots are generally con sidered the best. The Working far mer is of opinion that carrots should never be used in place of grain, but only as a substitute for a portion of grain. Ihe value ot the carrot uoes 0 . . . .1 ;a not consist nnogctncr 1a 113 iiumuve properties, but rather in Its ability to gelatinize all fluids with which it is mixed. Ihus, a norse tea wun tnree quarts of oats and three quart3 of car rots, will do as well a3 if fed on six quarts of oats without carrots. If this opinion is correct a great saving may bo made by the use of carrots mixed with grain, as they can generally 0 bought for half the price of oats, and the expense of raising them mu3t be but about one quarter that of raising oats, and when properly cultivated are quite as sure a crop. Our own experience proves that carrots, when fed continuously alone to horses, are of but little value, but when mixed with meal or oats, contribute largely to the health, vigor, and good spirits of those most useful c!a33 of domestic animals. Since so much difference of opinion exist3 upon this subject, we hope our correspondents will give U3 the benefit of their knowl edge and experience with carrots and other root3 as food for domestic am raals.

WRlteTTash or Line Tor Singles. Messrs. Editoes : Like Elihu- of old, I will "heio mine opinion." In 1814, having occasion to put up a. blacksmith's shop, a building of alt others exposed to fire and destruction of shingles, I took 'the precaution to prepare the sawed shingles with which the roof and walh were covered, ia the following manner: Having a largo trough, I put into it a bushel of quicklime, half a bushel refuso salt, and five or six pounds potash, adding water to slack the lino and dissolve the vegetable alkali arid the salt well knowing that piece3 of an old lime pit, a soap barrel, or a pork tub were not the best kindling stuff, and having long since learned, while at the Vineyard Sound, that hot saltwater whitewash would endure far longer than that made . with fresh water, absorbing moisture, striking l iU 3 A or,, I washing off. I set the bundles of tho shingles nearly to the band3 in tho wash for two or more hours ; then turned them end for end. When laid on the roof and wall3, they were brushed over twice with the liquid, and were brushed over at inter vals of two or three years after. At the expiration of 11 years, Tseven for ges having been used,) a shingle had not been burnt, nor had a nail started. mm. . m m -w w The shingles had become anci-pniogi3' iiCj and the acid from the coal ar.d tho atmosphere had been neutralized by the alkalies, so the naila remained entire. The shingles now appear about as sound as new.
