10 Sweeten Rutter Firkins.

Mrs. Arch Cooper. Racine county, Wis,
sends the following directions to the Amer
lean AgIiculturist;
Before packing butter into new frkins.
put them out of doors in the vicinity of a
well, fill them with water. and throw in a
few handfuls of salt. Let them stand three
or four days, and change the water once
during that time. Butter frkins should be
made of white oak, and this process effectu-
ally takes out the acid contained in that
wood, and makes the firkins sweet. If the
butter lie well made and rightly packed, it
will keep good all summer, even if the frkin
be kept in store above ground.
"To cleanse old firkins in which butter
has been packed and left exposed some time
to the air, ill with sour milk, and leave
standing twenty-four hours; then wash
clean, and ecald with brine. This makes
them as good as new"

worth cutting. His conclusion is: that the
chinch bug feeds on the tender grass, and
while they are doing that, the grain ma
lures so that it is beyond their power to in
jure it. He noticed that when he cut the
grain on the plots seeded down. the bugs
appeared as thick as they were on the other
fields. This coming spring he is going to
SOW grass seed with all his grain crops,
using two-thirds the quantity of grass
seed commonly sown, when seeding down
meadows, and of wheat and oats the same
quantity as if no grass seed was sown with
them. He prepares his seed wheat by soak
ing in strong brine and drying with slaked
lime. The lime and the brine are always
good for seed wheat and seed corn.-ED.

The Pest of the Apple Orchard.

The habits of the borer, the time and
manner Of Its depositing eggs, and its de-
structive effects, are well known. How to
detect its appearance in the tree, and COM
pei him to leave-or, what is still better, to
prevent the beetle from depos;ting its eggs
In the bark-is the information most sought
Constant watchfulness must be relied upon
in the former case; and the place where the
borer enters the tree is detected by the chips
or boring which he has made. This enter
ing-place found, he may in most instances
be reached by wire fitted for the purpose,
and dislodged from his quarters.
As to a remedy for the latter, we copy the
following from an article in the Register of
Rural Affairs, for 1868, from the pen of DR..
Asa Fitch, the first entomologist, and one
of the most practical horticulturists, in the
country: U--
"To repel this beetle from depositing its
eggs upon the bark, the tree, the latter part
of May, should be rubbed with soft soap, or
have some other alkaline substance applied
to it. Five years ago 1 treated half my
Young trees in this manner, and the follow
ing spring not a borer could be found in any
of them; while of those to which soap was
not applied, the major part had young Dor
ers a quarter of an inch long in them-6f-
teen OF. these worms being found in single
small tree. 1 have continued to apply soap
to the small trees each year since, but have
occasionally found borers in some of them.
l am inclined to think, if soap is applied
during the latter part of May, and repeated
if copious rains occur to wash it off before
the end of June, the trees will never be at
tackled by this insect. busting the buds o
the trees thickly with air-slaked lime bid;
fair, from experiments which have recent
" commenced, to be more eficacious thar
the soap. If, Notwithstanding these pre-
cautions, any worms become established a
the root of the tree, they should Immediately
be fsrreted out and destroyed. This can b'
done much more easily when they are young
and small. as they are then lying in or di
rectly under the BARK

Tree Wounds.


e. Young and vigorous trees, when injured
or wounded, soon begin to zeal of them
selves, and in time the wound is healed or
covered, over by successive layers of al
bernum that each year forms and converts
into wood. Very many of these wounds,
however, will heal over great deal quicker,
if little care be taken in cutting away any
dead wood or projecting splinters, and COW
ering the wounded part by some compost
ton, such as grating clay or grating wax,
or with plaster of mortar made of Stacked
lime, sand and pulVerized burnt bones, or
even by plaster of hydraulic lime.
Any one who passes through an orchard
that has been subject to the common toma-
hawk pruning will learn a good many les
sons of Nature in regard to her efforts to
heal up and heal over the wounds that have
been inflicted. You will see that where a
limb has been cut down smoothly or Level,
or even with the body from which it is
started, Nature, In year or two, has closed
1t up, leaving on neat, compact cicatrix.
But where a stump has been left sticking out
two or three inches, you will see the efforts
of Nature have been, in one eense, thwarted.
The end of the stump still projects out dry
and hard, while the several layers of ALDER
NUN nave Doon ldlu upon the OLD6f5 ana
working inward as if endeavoring to climb
over and enclose and hide it from view. If
the life and vigor of the tree continues long
enough, this will be accomplished, but in
many instances it fails of doing it, and the
weather begins to destroy it, and decay
commences. The wood rots and falls out,
and an unsightly hole or cavity is the re-
suit. The lesson to be learned from it is
this: Cut limbs smoothly, and even with
the body from which they start, and then
cover over the wound with some prepara-
ton that will prevent the decay of the wood
exposed, and at the same time allow the lay
ers of albernum orsap- wood to be tapped on
each year by the natural process.
Oftentimes these unsightly wounds can
be sooner healed by cutting down the dead
wood to level with the bark, or by a.
gouge, little below, so that each success
i've layer of sap wood formed after this shall
roll inward, and close on and over the cut,
instead of having to climb up, as it were,
over the projecting stump before it can be-
gin to hide the cut across the limb. A very
little observation and care in these matters
will soon give one an insight into the laws
by which Nature operates in her healing
process; and by following Nature you can
not only prevent much loss of her valuable
labor, but can even hasten her labors in many
instances, and perfect the results desired
