Spldiers, sailors, expected, but the am- doing everything to pre- domestiq hex-yang. fruit-growers of the is a little beetle. the leaves first appear. At this time it is a little beetle rather less than a quarter of an inch 10113.3 and with a snout on its head. It feeds on the leaves of the plum and also the) apple, pear, peach and cherry. When the eet cuts alittle plums are set the insect cuts alittie curved slit in the plum, and 01088 to it, in a little hole, lays an egg. This egg soon hatches into a little grub. which eats into and around the stone. When the grub is full grown (after about three weeks) it leaves the plum. which has usually fallen off by this time, goes into the ground, where it remains quiet for a time, then comes out as the full-grown insect again, to go into hiding until the following Spring. Thus, there is only one brood a year. It is not possible to reach and kill the grub, as it is inside the fruit, but, fortunately, there are other times in the life of the insect when it can be attacked with success. The first of these is before the eggs are laid, when the insect is eating the young lea- ves. Before the flower buds open. therefore, spray the trees with Lon- don Purple. To make this, mix a pound of the London Purple with apound of fresh lime and add water at the rate of one pound of the Purple to 150 gallons of water. Add enough of this water first to slake the lime, after- ward the rest. If peach trees are sprayed, 250 gallons of water should be used: Do not spray while the trees are in blossom, but when the blossoms have fallen, spray again, choosing ra- ther a cool day, if possible. If any of the leaves turn brown and die after spraying, it means that the spray was too strong. In such cases, add more water to the mixture next time. A second way of treating this insect is by spreading a large, white cloth tacked on a light frame, under the tree at morning or evening, and jar- ring the tree suddenly. The insects at these times do not fly ireadily, but drop into the cloth and can be killed. This will dispose of many and it should be done abut the same time as the spraying. A third way to handle the curculio is by picking up and burn- ing the fallen plums every day, be- ginning about a week after spraying for the last time. This will catch the young grubs in the plums, which the other methods missed and will reduce the number of insects the following year. These methods have all been tried and work well, the frequent re- sult being that instead of saving one plum of every twenty-five that form about twenty are saved. Every fence a farmer builds should be a good one of its kind, built in neat workmanlike order, and answer the purpose for which it is built perfectly. Considering the cost of fencing as it relates to other improvements of the farm, it is a heavy drain on the re- sources of the farmer. Hence it should be curtailed as much as possible. To do this. the location of the buildings and most convenient forms of the fields must have careful considera- tion. The only fence a farmer should think of building now, is a wire fence of some kind. Their number and var- iety is legion and the farmer should buy whatâ€"after a careful considera- tionâ€"will suit his circumstances best. Woven wire fences of safe strength and durability, are desirable. If the farm has a permanent pasture, the cultivated area can be handled with- out fences. If the farm has a highway passing one side or end. the buildings should be located near it, and near the central part of the sides or end â€"' â€"- v-wu he needs. it nearly always becomes a burden. But we do not hear of farmers building barns that bring with them overwork and misfortune. unless the builders have been lacking entirely in judgment when they built. A common error in building barns, is to cover too much land with root for the am- ount of space obtained. Inshort. they are not high enough. Had we barns to build. all lomr floors would be made of cement. and put down so the rat's could not get under them. By this plan much 808430 that is usually lost under plank floors would be saved.

Sometimes it is found several inches below the surface in recently stirred, loose soil. Early in the spring or late in the autumn, the larva may be dug out of the tree and destroyed. To prevent the moths from depositing their eggs, the crown of the roots where the bark is soft and tender and really offers the only point of en- trance, may be covered with a mound of coal ashes or soil. packed firmly around it. \Vashing the lower part of the trunk with alkaline mixtures, strong soap suds (especially if hot), to- bacco tea, lime water, etc., will serve to prevent much injury. SHELTER FOR CATTLE. The London Farmer thinks that “in England few subjects of equal import- ance to the farmer have occupied less attention that the provision of prop- er shelter for live stock in the fields. The average English farmer has a great deal to learn. If he could but appreciate the enormous loss which is caused every year on this score alone we are sure it would hasten a better era in live stock management. out of doors. Not a little of the success which has attended the rearing and feeding of Scotch cattle is due to the infinite care which is taken to pre- vent loss of flesh, owing to the mis- erable conditions which so frequently pertain during the pasturage season. every pound saved is so much gained.” The motto of every feeder who desires to turn a good profit yearly, must be to keep all the flesh with which food has clad the stock of the farm, and, above everything. always keep the animals growing. Every pound of flesh lost during cold weather goes to the debit side of the cash-book. and A Physician Relates an Iixperlenre of Illa Student lays. The doctor smoked slowly on his ci- gar.
