NOTES AND GLEANINGS. 
Cabbage-Worms.— Secretary Shaffer of 
the Iowa Agricultural Society says,the cab¬ 
bage-worm has destroyed whole fields and 
acres of cabbages and the remedies of lime, 
ashes, brine, salt and lye have been failures. 
Birds do not take them, and hens and 
chickens tied among the plants, which 
were previously covered with meal, never 
touched a worm, or drove away the swarms 
of butterflies which were so numerous as 
to appear like a snow storm. But the use 
of pvrethum was attended with entire suc¬ 
cess. A pound of the leaves of this plant 
mixed with 150 gallons of water killed 
every young worm with which it came in 
contact, while it is harmless to man. 
Some remarkable tests of honesty in dis¬ 
charged convicts are reported by the New 
York Bible and Fruit Mission. In order to 
give the outcasts a chance to develop what¬ 
ever inclination to honesty they may have, 
the society gives each one who applies to it 
three cheap brooms, with instruction to sell 
them and come back with the money. Of 
the twelve hundred men tested in this way 
in the past ten months, only one is said to 
have failed to return promptly, and even 
he turned up penitent two weeks later. 
The Tribune and Farmer says: To make 
the bunches of grapes grow into the largest 
and finest specimens, it is absolutely neces¬ 
sary to thin them put. A vine that is over¬ 
laden will not produce the finest nor earliest 
fruit. 
When a man has no desire but to speak 
plain truth he may say a great deal in a 
very narrow space.— Steele. 
The reason why men succeed wh© mind 
their own business is because they have lit¬ 
tle competition.
