day at Sandy Creek, Wagga Wagga,
for the purpose Of procuring honey,

there was found in the hollow one
Of the most astonishing collections
Of honey ever known, probably, to
have been gathered by one swarm
of bees. There were several i'm
mensc layers of comb ten feet in
length, and Of great density, extend
ing along the inside Of the trunk,

almost entirely. After it had been
carried home (having been wasted
considerable by the fall of the tree

was collectcd), the comb yielded
over two hundred pounds Of honey

AN INSECT TRAP.-The Ameri-
can genealogical society, at its last
meeting, appointed a committee to
examine into the merits Of trap
designed for the destruction of APP
pie worms, and we are informed
that the verdict was favorable
Thomas Wier is the inventor of the
trap, and we are not aware that he
claims an exclusive right to the use
of his continuance, nor that he has
attempted to cover it by patent
The trap consists simply Of two or
more thin strips Of board, twelve to
to twenty inches in length and two
to four inches wide. These are
placed together and long screw is
driven through them into the trunk
Of the tree, just below the branches,
on the north side. The screw holds
the boards firmly in position. When
the trap is to be set, put few bits
Of straw between the boards so as
to keep them slightly apart. BY
the 10th of June the trap should be
set, for soon after that time the first
brood Of worms begins to leave the
apples in search Of a safe place in
which to weave their cocoons and
undergo their transformation into
moths. They naturally avail them
selves Of the first shelter, and as the
trap apparently affords this, they
stow themselves snugly away be-
tween the boards and spin their CO.
coons. Within two weeks the trap
should be visited. Separate the
boards by turning them on the
screw SO that they will radiate like
the spokcs of a wheel, and the CO.
coons can be scrapcd off and de-
stroyed. The operation Of turning
the boards is not always easily
performed for the cocoons bind
them closely together. The boards
must be turned entirely around, as
many worms take shelter between
them and the tree. If.thc whole Of
the first brood is caught, there will
be no more trouble for the season,
but the traps are to be reset, as
they will probably secure parts Of
the successive broods, and thereby
save great deal Of fruit Chris
tan Uuion.
