THE CURCULIO.

Few Of the insect depIedatoIs ON fruits
occasion SO much injury and vexstisn to
the cultiyator as the Curculio. Its OF,
tacks are mostly confined to the smooth
skinned and delicate varieties, such as
Plums. apricots, aud cherries, and not
unfrequently they affect total des:ruc-
tion stthe crop. In western New Y ork
we have not as yet suffered as severely
as in the New England states, and the
new settlements in the western states
find their fruit entirely exempt from this
pest. The evil is however increasing
and every project which promises to free
our fruit trees from this insect will be
hailed with pleasure. The egg of the
Curculios is deposited in the fruit, be-
comes Il worm, falls to the earth, rem aims
through the winter, and in the spring, at
tho proper season, comes forth perfect
insect with wings aud repeats the same
course of depreciation.
In late number of the New England
Farmer, MIR. Kenrick of Nonantum, a
gentleman Of great experience in Hortis
culture, says
"Dr. Burnett informed me a few DAYS
since, that he had fine tree Of Prince
Imperial Gage plum. This variety,
though naturally one Of the most vsIua-
bic and productive OF all plums, yet new
er would produce crop of fruit OH
his ground OF account Of the abundance
of the Curculios, but by adopting the
following expedient, a most bounti fu
crop was produced the last season.
Early in the spring or as soon as the
tree was in bloom, hencoop containing
an early brood Of chickens and hen, was
placed beneath the tree. After the cur.
culios had arisen from the earth, and be.
fore they were prepared TO ascend the
tree, every one of them as it appears
was devoured by the brood; and owing
to this Circumstance, and to no oihei
cause. the tree ripcned and matured {
most extraordinary crop Of fruit. - Gen

SPEED THE PLOUGH.
USE OF LIME.

/
Pref. Hitchcock, in his late valuahl.
report on the Agricultural and Economi
cal Geology of Massachusetts, has ,
well written essay on the use and opera
ton OF lime and mari: and as we canno
lay 1t before our readers. we shall submit
to them few Of the practical inference.
which may fairly be drawn from the
principles apparently established by him
L. That lime in itseIfdoes not constitute
the food of plants, and therefore caano,
be said, as in the application OF common
manure, to be in itself source offertility
=. That lime acts on the vegetable mat
ter or humus fthe soil, and by a process
akin to sdponifcation, or the con version
OF oils aud fat into soap by the action of
an slkali, converts the soluble veg etable
or animal matter in the soil into malt ea-
silly soluble in water, and fit for the food
and nourishment Of plants.
8. That the quantity oil lime to be ap-
Piled to land must be determined by the
state Of the soil, and that where it pro.
duces plants indicative of free acids, e.
nough lime should be added to neut, al
ize all these and promote better vege-
tation. Sorrel and pine are indications
oil the presence of uncombined acids.
4. That where earthly salts are present,
lime should be added to convert til EN- in.
to salts Of lime. suck as phosphates and
carbonates. The more thoroughly i'm
pregnated with animal and vegetable
matter soil is. the greater the quantity
OF such matter to be converted.
o. That enough lime should be added
to soil to change the insoluble humus
and vegetable fibre in soil into that
which is soluble. Hence the richer a
soil is, the more lime it will bear.
D. THAT there is no danger Of adding
10 any soil too much mari or lime, pro-
vided sufficient quantity Of manure be
also added. Ignorance ofthis principle.
1t is apprehended, has been the source
OF most Of the failures that hav. occur.

worn out or deprived of its humus ~
constant cropping. There must be some
thing for the lime to work upon or no
fertility will be induced by its applica-
ton. Lime may indeed act mech anically
upon soils, 90 as to rends. them more fri>
able and tit for vegetation; but unless the
principle of fertility is already in the
soil, vegetation will not be the result OF
such mechanical division.
8. That analysis of soils is beneficial
by showing its constituents, and aiding
In the determination Of the proper mea.

ty. II considerable quantities of calca.

possible the fertility should fail, if ma.
nure is added; and if analysis indicates
abundance of vegetable or animal matter
lime may be applied without any fear o.
injurious results eResee Farmer.
