THE HOUSE and FARM.
The Apple-Trcc BOrer.

The Apple-Tree Borer never stays less
than tive years in the tree. The worm
enters in July and buries Itself under the
bank the first season. In October you
may find him, white, and one-fourth of
IN inch long.
The next year we find hbn boring into
the sap wood of the tree and his course is
usually upward, yet he is sometimes found
descending to the roots. He comes out
pretty uniformly in June, boring through
to the bark. Here the worm rests till its
wings are formed, when it flies about in
the night and fastens upon the apple-tree,
the ounce, the white ash and the locust.
Many of the flies full grown have been
brought to our office for inspection. One
was found in bingham in his hole, with
wings well formed, just ready to fly. 1t
was full inch in length-others are usd-
ally three-fourths of an inch.
DR.. Harris, of Cambridge, the State
entomolog;st, at one time had some doubt
whether the worm remained in the tree
two or three years. He wrote to us on
lnc suoJoSt' 0t
From what we have seen of the borer,
and learned from others, we incline to
think the worm remains nearly three
years in the tree-entering in July and
coming out in June.
The Peach Tree Borer is different
worm and not SO regular in its habits.
The worms are found in the roots, gene
rally, and they are Of all sizes, from one
fourth to threc-fourths of an inch in length.
This arises from the fact that the peach-f1y
lays her eggs a. the roots, in May, June,
and July, sometimes in August. They
also come out and turn to flies before lay
ing their eggs-so that by placing ashes
around the trunk of the peach tree, to
prevent their entrance in new dress, you
save your trees fran their ravages.-

steam PIOW.

The English papers speak of Boyders
Steam Plow, n new invention constructed
on the locomotive plan. On a recent
occasion three double plows were yoked,
and plowed IN acre in 70 minutes, incu-
ding stoppages and turnings, in strong
clay land, or at the rate of eight acres
day of ten hours. The c, s. is estimated
at less than dollar an acre. Had six
single plows been used. they would have
required the labor of eighteen horses, be-
sides mcn,-costing in England $3.50
for four and a half acres. The prime cost
of the machine is said to be about equal
to that of the eighteen horses. This reads
as if the machine might be success.

Hints to Farmers.

BE Systematic.-Here we have one of
the first principles of successful agricul-
ture. Let all your transactions be con-
Quoted in business-like manner. Take
note of every operation, whether you buy
or sell, receive or disburse, SOW or reap,
make promise or a bargain. TO do this
it will be necessary to keep diary, and
we would say, do so, if for no other object
than as q ready means Of comparison.
Be Thorough.-Never halfdo thing
yourself, nor permit your men to glide
over their labors. off it is worth doing
at all, it is worth doing WELL" would prove
a golden maxim to thousands of farmers
if they would not only adopt it as portion
of their creed, but exemplify its teachings
in their daily life. Away with these
scratchers-men that go beneath the sur
face are the kind wanted.
Leare the Land IN good heart 1t
should DC the object of every tller of the
soil to leave his land in god condition
after the removal of a crop, and, at the
same time, obtain as remunerating returns
as possible. This can b, done only by
outstanding all the sources of fertility on
the farm, and adding thereto in every
available manner. This is the Alpha
and Omega Of progressive agriculture.
Never boast of bank account" if it is
obtained at the expense of your farm.
Study your PROFESSIONALLY is not
alone the energy that Yields the spade
or holds the pillow that insures success.
There is "higher law" the culture of
the soil. The relations of science to the
farmers calling are intimate. Good books
are aids in the attainment of knowledge,
but, never pin your faith on the ipse dirit
of any Notwithstanding, experiment, and
Judge for yourself
Stick to tie F'orm.-Amid your plans
for the future, never, for one moment,
harbor the idea of lettering your condi-
ton by entering the arena of commercial
life. Do not exchange home of quiet,
real enjoyment, for the turmoil and illu-
sion of a city residence. Barter not sweet
repose for visions Of empty wallets, nor
let notes, due on the morrow, assume the
prerog.tives of the nightmare. Very
poor comforters for care and anxiety are
these little realities i'll the commercial
world Stick to the farm. What though
hard labor be the everyday command, it
is noble, healthful, and conducive to the
development of the whole man. Ohio

Planting for POsterity.

There" said q gentleman to US one
day, pointing to group of evergreens
and other trees "my brother is about to
build him a house; these trees were plant
ed for him by my father upwards of
twenty-five years ago" How fortunate
was this man to have such father Here
he builds his house among these fine trees,
and enters at once upon their enjoyment.
He gains twenty-five years Of time, and
not only that, but the plantation has a
ten-fold value in its historic associations.
1t is a family monument. A beautiful
example for fathers. Such an inheritance
has moral as well rs material Value
