KILL THE CATERpILLAR.-Fruit grow
ers should be on the lookout among their
fruit trees for the appearance of cater
pillars, as they may have overlooked the
insect rings upon the twigs during the
winter and spring. There are two ca
sy ways of destroying them-one is by
placing small charge of powder in a
gun and firing into the nest, and the de-
destruction ofthe caterpilars is complete.
Another way is to swab them with bur-
ming fluid and then setting the fluid on
fire. Either of these ways is effectual.
In our own garden, we examine the trees
very carefully 10 find the little rings con-
tanning the eggs, and by wiping them
off, we avoided the appearance of the
caterpillars. In some way let these
pests be destroyed.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1853-08-03

SHELTER FOR HoRsEs.-We copy the
following remarks, from the London
"Sporting Magazine:''
The nearer we follow nature in the
treatment of animals, the better; and |
contend that keeping horses in cold and
exposed situations, is violation of the
laws of nature. The blood-horse origi-
nally came from eastern climates, where
the temperature is dry and warm; and al
though he is to certain extent natural
lied to this climate, the nearer the eli
mate may be to that of his primitive soil,
the better will his health be. The vine,
it is true, will grow and produce grapes
in the open air, in this country, but not
in that abundance, size, quality, or fla
vor as it does in former climates, or
when protected by the shelter of hot
house. Those who object to having their
backs kept warm, argue that at times they
are inevitably exposed to cold stable,
and that such change will be produc-
tive of catarrh, inflammation, and various
other diseases. This is not an evil so
frequently TO be encountered as formerly !;
stables are more comfortably constructed
than they used to be; and if dinner in
vitation, or other social visit, exposed the
back to temporary asylum in cold sta
bic, rug or two, or even blanket, can
surely be found TO keep him warm, while
his master enjoys himself at the festive
board. Indeed, if no development can be
procured, / am convinced the animal will
not be SO susceptible of cold, although
accustomed TO warmth at home, as he
will be if kept too cool, and for this rea-
son-he will be finer in his coat, and
from the beneficial result of condition he
will be dry; whereas horse with a long
coat, and out of condition, has a garment
like wet blanket, with languid circu-
lation, insufficient to create that evapo-
ration necessary to render the horse dry,
and the perspiration will be seen hang
ing 10 the point of almost every hair on
his body.

ERRoRs IN GRowING BEANs.-Lima
bean vines are usually suffered TO wind
themselves around post twelve or tif-
teen feet high, and before the vine reach
Sc The top Of the pole, some beans are al
ready Of a size to be pulled, near its bot
tom. Lima beans should be pinched off
when five and half feet high, and they
will readily thorw out side shoots well
filled with pods, which will ripen before
frost; whereas, when not shortened in,
the beans on the upper ends of the vine
cannot perfect themselves in time to be
saved. 1t is unfair to expect gill of
sap to travel through forty feet of vine
wrapped around pole, and make per-
feet bean at the extreme end of it.

Stock Breeding.

The object of improved breeding is TO
diminish, or if possible, to remove the
defects of live Stock, and to acquire and
perpetuate desiable properties. The gen.
eral art is to make such a selection of
males and females are most likely to pro-
mote the object, paying particular atten-
ton to maxim which is too frequently
forgotten-the governing law of the an
imal kingdom-that like produces like
that the good or bad properties of the
parents are hereditary, and are almost
invariably impaired to their progeny
We know that some animals fatten fas-
ter than others, and that they are gener-
ally more handsomely formed; ON ham
ding them, we find the skin and parts
beneath are soft and "mellow." The
"mellowneSS" is kind of softness and
elasticity perceived upon pressing the
skin, and is very favorable sign of the
aptitude Of an animal to fatten. These
parts are cellular membranes, which i'll
fat animals are full Of fat and stock pos
sessing this mellow feeling denotes that
there are dlenty of fat. To breed cattle
possessing, this mellow feeling is an i'm
rortant object, for an animal is almost
valuless though it may be possessed Of
perfect symmetry, if it cannot be made
fat without very extraordinary keep.
The object of a breeder should be to
get as little bone as possible; large
round leg bones indicate coarse ami
NAL whereas flat and small bones are
symptoms of being well bred. 1t is
highly desirable that there should not
be excess in one part and deficiency in
another; but that an animal should lay
on fat on every point in equal proper
lions, taking care to get as much as pos
sible in those where it is most valuable
for instance it is of more value on the
loins, ribs, and rumps, than on the
neck or hocks-therefore, breadth of
the lion length of the rump, rotundi-
ty of frame, good deep chest, and shout
ders placed obliquely that there may be
no hollowness behind them, are indis-
pensible qualities in good formed ami
NAL and | believe our best Devons pos
sess these requirements in greater de-
gree than any other breed of cattle.
