The Black Knot.

The knots are now making their ap-
pearance on the Plum and Cherry trees,
and require attention. Those who will
make careful examination of the ex-
cresencs will be able to find small marks
upon them, sometimes crescent shaped,
like the curculio mark upon the fruit
BY very careful dissection, minute
white speck may be found in the middle
of the coneave portion of this crescent.
This is an egg of an insect. 1t is believ-
ed that the egg causes this excresepce,
and we suppose so, because we know that
this egg becomes grub, and burrows in
and feeds upon the substance of this knot.
These grubs, if raised to maturity become
beetles, so like the ourculio that stings
the fruit, as not to be distinguished from
each other. Still they may be different
kinds of beetles that look much alike
The pea-bug and the beetle from the worm
in the chestnut, both look much like the
curculio, but differ greatly in their habits.
When we cut into one of the little balls
found growing upon an oak leaf, and find
there full grown perfect fly, and no pos
sible way it could have got there from
without, we suppose that the parent of
that fly, in some way or other, caused that
ball to grow, and that it grew to afford
protection and food for her young, This
is natural supposition, and is probably
true, although it would be hard to prove.
Acting upon such a theory as regards the
black knot, we should say cut them off as
they appear, and you destroy the embryo
insect that would cause similar knots an
other year.
We have seen both plum aud cherry
trees about this city, and indeed almost
everywhere we travel, perfectly deformed
with these ezcrescences, and permitted to
stand year after year, mere nurseries for
spreading this evil.
Many people carefully cut off these
knots early in the spring, and it is we'll
enough to do so even then, as it certainly
removes a deformity, but it then avails
nothing towards getting rid of the cause
By careful watching and prompt cutting
away during the early part of July, you
may keep the enemy under your control,
but by neglecting them for year or two,
valuable trees, or even orchards, will be-
come orthless.--Nerarh Mercury

Feed and Shelter your Mich Cows
Well.

The editor of the Boston CultiOator truly
remarks that there is no domestic animal
in regard to which there is generally so
much neglect to provide properly, as the
milch cow. The idea seems to be too
common, that she may give milk for the
greater part of the year, supporting at the
same calf in the fetal state, with no more
nor better food than is given to animals
which have only their own bodies to sup
port. The consequence is, that the milch
cow is worn down by this unnatural tax
on her system her fat is taken away in
butter; the substance of her muscles is
cheese and oven her bones are weaken
ed by the phosphate of lime which the
flow of milk carries off. Surely, such a
sacrifice demands consideration and re-
compense, which it would be profitable to
the farmer to besfow. If there is any
animal which policy would dictate the
good treatment Of, it is the milch cow
1t should be remembered that it is only
the food she consumes, beyond what is re-
quired to support the natural wastes of the
system, that can afford surplus in the
way of milk.
Hence, the food which would barely sup
port two COWS, and leave nothing for the
owner, if eaten by one cow, would enable
her to return the value of one, half of it in
milk. So that the advice of a close OBJ
server to a dairyman, to sell one-half his
cows, to increase his produce of butter
and cheese, had reason at the bottom of
it. Cows should be we'll fed and shelter
ed; in fact, they should be kept in all
respects in the condition that is we'll ex-
pressed by the word comfortable"

To MAKE HENS LAY IN WINTER
There is another inquiry which we may
as well answer at the present time. How
shall we manage with our hens in order
to have them continue to lay in winter,
the season when eggs are scarce and sell
at the highest price 7" The most practi-
cal mode that occurs to us would be to
confne the earliest pullets after they are
two or three months old, feed them well,
and keep them until the first of October,
when they should be allowed full liberty.
A week or ten days afterwards they
should be confined in warm, dry room,
where the yicissitudes of the weather and
storms will not reach them. G. ~. Be-
nsens IN Country Gentleman.

To BRoIL A FowL-Split the fowl
down the back, season it very well with
pepper, and put it on the gridiron with
the inner part next to the fire, which must
be very clear. Hold the gridiron at a
considerable distance from the fire. and
allow the fowl to remain until it it is near
ly half done; then turn it, taking great
care that it does not buru. Broil it to a
fine brown. a duck may be broiled in
the same way. If the fowl is very large,
half roast it, then cut It into four quarters
and finish u on the gridiron.

For ages, has the treatment of pulmo-

of the attention of the scientific of the
medical world, but none acquired more
eminence in his treatment of these diseas-
es, than the celebrated Prussian Dr. Hoof-
land, the originator of the Balsamic Cor

TO THE INVENTOR.

The Scientific american is indispensable to eve
ry inventor; as it not only contains illustrated
descriptions of nearly all the best inventions as
they come out, but each number contains an Off
cial List of the Claims of all the Patents issued
from the United States Patent Office during the
week previous; thus giving a correct history of
the progress of inventions in this country. We
are also receiving, every week, the best scientific
journals of Great Britain, France and Germany;
thus placing in our possession all that is trans
piring in mechanical science and art in these old
countries. We shall continue to transfer to our
columns copious extracts from these journals of
whatever We may deem of Interest to our read
ers.
A pamphlet of instruction as to the best mode
of obtaining Letters Patent ON new inventions, is
furnished free on application.
Messrs. Mum & Co. have acted as Patent So
licitors for more than seventeen years, in connec-
ton with the publication of the Scientific Amert-
can, and they refer to 20, 900 patentees for whom
they have done business.
No charge is made for examining sketches and
models of new inventions and for advising in
ventors as to their patentabiity.
CHEMISTS, ARCHITECTS, MILLWRIGHTS

The Scientific american will be found most
useful journal to them. All the new discoveries
in the science of chemistry are given in its col
umns, and the interests of the architect and car
penter are not overlooked; all the new inventions
and discoveries appertaining to those pursuits be-
ing published from week to week. Useful and
practical information pertaining to the inter-
ests Of millrights and mill-owners will be found
published in the Scientific american, which i'm

other source. Subjects in which planters and
