than late sowing.

WE notice that many of our shade and
fruit trees in town are infested with a
green worm, varying in length from two
to four inches. We noticed pear tree
in a yard on Main street that has been
stripped of every leaf-the fruit alone re
manning. Many of our beautiful shade
trees have been made to suffer the rava-
ges of this worm, and our citizens should
be on the lookout fol them. The only
remedy We have heard Of is to catch and
kill them.

with lime, and put in about six or seven
inchen deep of potatoes and dust with
lime as before. Put in six or seven inches
OF potatoes and lime again; repeat the
operation until al are stored away. One
bushel of lime will do for forty bushels
