"Some OF the remedies recommended for
preventing the ravases Of these insects are
actually absurd, such as tying cotton round
tho trees in order to prevent them from as
cending, when !, is known that they are
furnished with wings, and ay from tree to
tree with the creates. ease. Among the
remedies at present in use one is to cover
the fruit with coating Of white-wash,
mixed with little glue, applied BY means
Of q syringe: another is to spread sheet
upon the ground under the tree, and then
jr the principle branches suddenly with a
mallet covered with cloth, so as not to bruise
the bark, when the perfect insects will fall
into the sheet and feign death, and may be
gathered and destroyed. Hogs are some
times turned into plum orchards, where, by
eating the fallen and diseased fruit, they
materially lessen the evil. croors Of chick
ems placed under the trees, and Cha branch
es Often shaken, the insects fall, and are
eagerly seized and devoured. All fallen
truit should be gathered, up several times
in ,heco OF tho season and burnt, or
given to hogs, or destroyed in some other
way. BY so doing thousands OF tho grubs
which have not yet len the plums are de-
s.royed but, as yet, no thoroughly practi.
cal remedy has been made public, and the
above are merely mentioned as being useful
in small gardens containing only few

How TO Cure FRETTlSo CHILD. Ono

though, We could manage him. Whips
and rods have never been used rs means
in bringing our children to obedience; and
We had no notion ofIesor,ing 10 them now,
notwithstanding the mothers recommended
,ion 10 tho contrary. We met this little
fellow precisely as We think every other
child should DO met who has similar dis
position. His crying, screaming, and
stamping were Of no avail. Whatever was
proper for him was granted; what was not
proper was withheld. BY this mode Ol
treatment, for day or two, he began TO
learn the important lesson that he was hap.

with gen,leness mingled with firmness, wa
