The vinton Eagle thinks those people who
in attempting to kill caterplllars with Kero-
scne kill the trees also, do not use the oil
properly. 1tSays: Take soft rag OF any
description and saturate it thoroughly with
the oil then take the rag and rub the limbs
and branches where the insects collect, and
they will not trouble the trees very soon
again. A half pint Of oil would be great
benefit to forty trees, but the same amount
might kill two or three trees"
The Newton Banner comes to the defense
Of the NJ & N. r. II. as follows" This
road, although it has been abused and de-
nounced more than any other Railroad in
the State, had, on the LIST Of Jaidary more
miles Of road completed, and done heavier
business than any other in Iowa. The
number of miles now in running order is
l5H and in two weeks this will be increased
to 100. The receipts Of this road for 1864
