CurculiO ON PIunls.

a correspondent says that he
wraps plum trees, below the lower
limbs, with cotton, which he keeps
wet with camphor and spirits OF
ammonia. He vets the cotton twice
week, and the result has been a
good crop Of plums and no curculio.
\ correspondent in another journal
says:
81 have seen various methods for
keeping these insects off plum trees,
but none so simple or yet so cffectual
as the following: Soak corn cobs in
swcctcncd water until thoroughly
saturated, then suspend them to the
limbs of the trees little while after
blossoming, being sure to burn the
cobs after the frait ripcns, rs they
will be found full Of the young in
sccts. a good plan is to change
the cobs every few weeks. My
theory is this-that the insects de-
post their eggs in the cobs in pre-
ference to doing so in the young
plums. The first season / tried it
upon one or two only, and in the
summer was rewarded by a good
crop of as fine plums as ever
riponed, while those on the other
trees fell off when about alfgrown.
l have since tried it more thoroughly
and have never known it to fail"

Land plants, as trees for instance,
occupy the same spot for ages, but
they at last decay from sheer de-
crepitude.
The lateral cxtcntion of the roots
the lateral runners or offsets
with which many Of them are fur
nished, some above ground, as the
strawberry, others underground, as
the couch-grass, thistle, etc.-shows
that plants like animals, require a
change ofpasturc as wei! as a change
of air. Every one we'll acquainted
with the growth ofplants know that
they require frequent change Of
soil, though but few consider that a
change of air is also beneficial. II
is we'll known that some plants
thrive better in one locality than
another. There arc plants that
never thrive, nor scarcely live, in
the smoky atmosphere Of London,
but when removed to distance OF
twenty or thirty miles from that city
grow luxuriantly.
The Belgian farmer raises exccll'
ent crops Of cereals, roots, grasses,
etc., and they are very particular in
the selection Of seed, in procuring
it from a foreign country, if posi-
bic, and in sleeping it in liquid
manure before sowing. In the north
Of Ireland, where flax is grown ex-
tensively, the farmers prefer seed
brought from Russia or Holland to
that grown by themselves, as they
find the change very beneficial. The
finest dubious and tubcrous rooted
towering plants arc annually inn
ported into England, the United
States, etc from Holland and Ger
many, and the change is very bene-
fetal for two or three years. For
est-trces, obtained from the noun
tains of Tyrol, terminate in other
parts of Europe with much greater
vigor than those Of home growth.
The commences and sound condi-
ton Of agricultural seeds depend
very much upon the care bestowed
by the scotsman IN the selection OF
his stock, and also OH the character
of the growers he employs. For
cign agricultural seeds are some
times damaged by kiln-drying, ad,
mixture with dcadcned seeds of
some cheap kind. Rape seed is
sometimes dcadcncd by kiln-drying,
and then mixed with turnip or cab
bage seed, to which it bears close
reese mblance. In importing seeds
from Il foreign country great caution
is necessary in order to prevent inn

CHAPTER 243.

AN ACT amcndatory to the school laws
of the State, and relative to the forma-
ton of Independent school districts in
certain cases
SECTION 1. BE it enacted by the Cen
cral Assembly OF the State of Iowa, That
where, under the school laws of the State
heretofore in force, from the necessities
of localities arising from natural obstruc
tions, the organization of school districts
under said laws and for the convenience
and accommodation of tho people, school
districts were formed of portions of two
counties of territory lying contiguous to
each other, and where, under present
laws, such districts are not provided for,
at the written request of five legal voters
residing in portions Of said territory in
each county, the board Of directors Of the
district township to which such territory
belongs, having II majority Of the legal
voters. shall fix the boundaries OF an in
dependent school district composed of
such sections of hand, or portions thereof,
as may be specified and described in the

Importance ola Frequent Change Of
Seed.

1t has long been observed by in
telligent farmers that seed or plants
procured from distant places, with
in the same collateral parallels OF
latitude, appear to grow with more
strength and vigor in their new
stations then when kept and cultiva-
ted in their native places. On this
fact all the rules for u change of
seed, or of one species Of plants for
another of the same genus, are
founded. A change of seed is al
most always practically safe and
cminently beneficial. A change of
seeds, sets or plants from one des-
cription of soil to another, or from
valley to mountain, vice yersa, seems
to possess renovating influence on
the crops. 1t is on this principle
that the practice Of rotation ofcrops
is based. Plants appear to become
tired of an old station, except
aquatic plants, which are constantly
receiving new elements Of nutrition
from fresh supplies of water.

FRUIT PRosPECTs.-Not for many
years have we seen fruit trees 50
full Of bloom, as this spring. The

every bud, the promise Of fruit

Sugar from tho ButcrMut.

A correspondent of the Chautan-
qua Farmer writes. "When my
ncighbor Brown, tapped his sap
bush, he had quantity of buckets
and spiles more than maple trees.
So he tapped about thirty butternut
trees. thought l would see what
l could make of it and went to his
bush, finding every one of the buck
cts under the butternut trees full,
while those under the maple trees
were not over two-thirds full. l
took a six-quart pail with me, and
borrowed it full of the butternut sap
and boiled it down, getting one
half pound Of nice sugar. Mr..
Brown gathered 20 buckets of that
sap, and boiled it down with his
maple. 1t worked as nicely as if it
were all maple. The flavor and ap-
pearance were perfect"

A remedy for the stings Of wasps,
bees, etc, that often proves effcctual
is simply to hold chest key or any
hollow key over the place stung,
press it hard into the flesh for a
minute or so, and when taken off
the poison will be on the surface of
the flesh, and do no harm. A Thin
bic with tight top will do, but not
quite so well.
