CLOTH AND FUR MoTHs.--THEIR
HABITS.

The small moths so destructive to cabi.
nets, tapestry, clothes, carpets, furs, grains,
etc., are called Tineans, and belong to the
natural order Lepidoptera. They have four
membraneous wings covered with imbricated
scales, like fine powder-as the butterflies
and moths. Among these are the carpet
moth, Itnea Tapetzelld, the clothes moth,
7. cestianella the fur moth, T. PeNionella,
and the hair moth, T. crinella.
The Tineans, in the winged state have
four short, slender feeders thick tuft on
the forehead, and narrow wings, which are
deeply fringed. They lay their eggs in crev.
ices, under carpets, among clothes, and in
furs in cabinets, wardrobes, and other places
not often used, after which they Immediately
die. They are hatched in about fifteen days
into moth-worms, which Immediately begin
to gnaw whatever fabric is present, covering
themselves with the fragments, and lining
them with their webs. Concealing them
selves within their burrows, they continue
eating until full, when they cease, and re-
main torpid during the winter. Early in
the spring the larvae change to chrysalids,
and in about twenty days after, transform
into moths, pair, and lay their eggs for fu-
ture progeny. These moths are noctural in
their habits, flying in the evening. They do
not lay their eggs in material in constant use
and therefore wardrobes, drawers, chests,
etc., should be frequently examined, and the
contents aired, and beaten to dislodge the
eggs or lav@

CHERRIES AND sPARRoWs.

The following from the Revue Horticule
in view Of the late introduction of the SPAR
row into this country, will be of interest to
our readers:
Of all the methods thus far imagined to
frighten the sparrows, which are, as is we'll
known, the worst enemies of the cherry, none
succeed completely. If one employs straw
man as scarcrow, it is not uncommon to
see the birds build their nests IN his hat or
in other parts Of his clothes if one uses
mirrors with two faces suspended by rods,
they become accustomed to them in twenty
four hours time, and the same is true of
gun shots.
The following method has been communi.
Gated to me by an old gardener, with whom
it has succeeded for forty years. First,
it is necessary to have bird of prey, stuffed
with its wings extended. When the earliest
fruit begins to color, hoist the bird upon
perch and place it above the tree so that
the bird seems continually to balance itself
above the cherries. When the scarecrow is
thus placed the birds are so afraid of it they
retire in good order to the neighbormg trees
until the bird is removed, after the gather
ing Of the fruit

TREE SETTING.

1t is question with many whether fruit
trees should have shallow or deep setting.
With US it seems clear that either extreme
is Objectionable. But if we are to vary
towards either, it should be towards deep
setting In shallow setting the roots will,
in few years, become exposed to the heats
aud colds Of the seasons, which must prove
injurious. We have observed that natura,
trees strike their roots deep, where the soil
aud subsOil will permit, and they are seldom
much exposed in after years. We have
seen large forests, of the heaviest timber in
the west, where whole acres might be search.
ed and not be seen exposed. In shallow
soiled countries the roots of trees become
exposed. In our country we think it evi.
dent that the roots want to 60 below direct
exposure to the blasts of winter and the suns
of summer. In a deep, well drained soil,
somewhat deep setting must be best. Pro-
bably it will not produce fruit quite so quick,
nor quite 50 rapid growth of the trees, but
they will be likely to live longer, aud be of
more service in the end

SOFT SOAP.

Agood soft soap tsof soap is always made
with potash) should contain from six to eight
per cent. of potash, and from 40 to As per
cent, of fat the remainder being water. 1t
is best prepared by dissOlving commercial
potash in water, to form lye that will float
an egg considerably above the surface.
This is brought to a boil, and for every
pound ofpotash used, about four pounds of
fat are added. 1t is best to dissolve only
part of the potash in the water at first, ard
to add the lat to this dilute solution. After
it is all dissolved, then add the remainder of
the potash, which serves to clarity it. When
wood ashes can be obtained, the lye leached
from them may be employed instead of the
potash The whole mass should be constant
ly stirred while it is boiling. The addition
of little borax and resin does no harm, and
is Of no particular use. Soft soap may be
made without boiling, by simply putting the
fat into the lye and allowing it to remain for
some weeks with occasional stirring, but it
does not make so good an article as when it
is boiled. If to every three pounds of potash
one of soda is added, the soap is rather firm

by the Pennsylvania Salt Co., and Babbitts

soda, and will not make frst-rate soft soap.

TIME OF GROWTH AND WEIGHT
OF WOOL.

A Saxon stock raiser writes :-"In 1871
| sheared my Merino flock, after several
weeks pasturage, at the beginning of May,
and obtained an average of eight and one
tenth pounds Of unwashed wool, of eleven
months growth. There were $50 mothers,
$50 frstliugs, and $50 yearlings to the
last, therefore, we can reckon not quite nine
pounds each. This year put 100 yearlng
wethers to stall feed, without refere ace to
wool, took them of on the first of December,
and had them shorn in the beginning of jan
uary. This result was exactly seven and
nine tenths pounds per head, of wool of only
eight months growth. This is equal to near
ly eleven pounds for eleven months. This
leads to the question whether the shearing
weight Of the unwashed wool decreases 50
notably by spring pasturage, or increases so
little in the late months of stall feeding; if
the last, how far is this true for the cleaned
wool ? Finally, for the practical side, what
is the rational relation of value for unclean-
ed wool shorn before pasturage, as compared
with that obtained after several weeks of
pusturage."

FROM WOOD TO FRUIT BEAR
ING.

10 bring into bearing, trees which have
been neglected for a number of years, and
which are now tall and thin with long whip
branches, some Of these slender shoots NAV
be bent over and fastened by the upper ex-
tremity to the base without breaking. If
kept in this position for two years the curved
part will, by the end of that period, form
an abundance Of fruit spurs. Once the
change from wood to fruit-bearing there will
be no difficulty In the future. Another
method occasionally practiCed is, to make
hoop-poles Of some of the small thin branch
es. This can be done in the spring or sum-
mer by taking . shoot foot or two in length
and then bending it around in the form of a
ring, making it selEfastening. Such rings
can be formed rapidly and in any part of the
tree where there are pliable twigs. A year
later there will be fruit spurs on these
shoots, and they will continue to form from that
time forward. Two years ago this plan was
tested on a Vicar of Winfield tree, ten years
old that had never borne any fruit. This
year it has nice and promising crop. The
plan has been tested on many other trees,
and in no case has it failed to bring about
the desired result within three years. When
one has a few years in the garden it is in.
teresting to notice the gradual transitiOu.-

continue to offer premiums for the greatest

stead of giving all the large sums for exten-
sive lots Of fruit exhibited by single growers
(who are usually nurserymen), the plan is
now to offer inducements for dishes of certain

CHEESE BUYERS AND statesmen

From the Utica, N. Y, Herald, we take
the proceedings of the Little Falls cheese
buyers and statesmen, lately convened there.
The code of rules for the government of the
board is as follows:
All persons, members of this Board of
Trade, are entitled and, by vote of Septem-
Der 9th, are pledged to transact their busi.
ness in the rooms ofthis board.
All factories shall. on each sale day, reg
lister on the boards their factories and the
number Of cheese, so far as they can, that
they intend offering for sale.
Every buyer shall have desk, at which
he shall make his settlements, so far as pos
sible.
The Board of Arbitration shall consist of
five members. A quorum shall be elected
to arbitrate.
Il shall be the duty of this committee to
arbitrate upon such questions as shall prop
erly come before them. The subjects of
short weight, what constitutes sale, and the
penalties Of non.ful6lmcnt by buyer or SELL
er, and in general, any question between buy
er and seller shall be regarded as properly
coming under the jurisdiction Of this board.
The Board Of Arbitration shall have pow.
er to make rules and regulations, not incou-
sistent with those governing bodies of like
character.
The purchases and sales that are made
in the Board of Trade rooms shall alone be
entitled to arbitration.
The city weighmaster's certificate as to
short weights, shall be regarded as authority,
and when rendered, shall be considered f.
nal.
In reference to skippered and damaged
cheese, the certificate of buyers here and in
New York accompanying the claim, shall be
deemed conclusive evidence that such claim
is legitimate.
1t is the sellers privilege to demand a
sworn affidavit.
The above does not in any way prohibit
the buying and selling of cheese during the
other hours of the day.
On motion the report was received, and
the committee discharged
On motion it was carried that the hour
in which all business coming before the board
shall be transacted shall be from 10 O'Clock
A. NJ, to 5 P. NJ, instead of from 10 to 3, as
adopted at the last meeting.

representing 100 growers, instead of two OF
three nurserymen, then it will pay any one
about to plant an orchard to carefully inspect
the collection. The mistake usually made
by persons who attempt fruit culture in a
large way, is in starting with too many
kinds--an error which the method we criti-
else has done great deal to perpetuate.
When nurserymen want to show their fruit
every facility should be afforded them; but
1t is worse than usless for any local asscia-
tiOn to offer premiums for large numbers of
kinds. Let the officers of some of the state
societies, in making up their schedule this
