BLACK LICE ON APPLE TREEs.-About
the last week in June, by examining
apple trees which are affected with bark
lice, white substance resembling fine
lint, may be seen adhering to the bark
In this substance are concealed the eggs
of the bark louise. By putting a mitten
on the hand this substance can be easily
rubbed off and the eggs destroyed.
In the first warm days of spring, may
be seen on apple trees small, round,
brown bug, with a black spot on each
side. have watched these bugs, and
my impression is that they are in pur-
suit of food, which they obtain by per-
forating the shell of the bark louise and
sucking out the insect beneath it. Per-
haps some one better posted on entomol-
ogy can inform your readers. Maine

when sufficiently dry, taken directly

manner the straw is not broken, and you

ORCHARD GRAss.-Will you permit
me, as one who has had some experience
with orchard grass for the last six years.
to say word in regard to that most
neglected grass ? Were | to be asked
(Which of all the grasses with which
you are acquainted, do you value most
for pasturage % [ would say emphat-
ically, orchard grass. From my expe-
rience with it, I think that one acre we'll
seeded to orchard grass, is worth, for
pasture, two of red clover, or four of
herdsgrass, on land that is easily af-
fected by drought.
| have been surprised, in my inter-
course with farmers, to see how many
have never heard of such grass, and
how few of the remainder have interest
enough in it to try to post themselves
up in regard to its real value. Were
there far more orchard grass sown in
our pastures, | think there would be
less complaint of COWS failing off in
milk" as the dry season advances.
It is better than herdsgrass to use
with clover in seeding down our meadows,
for these four reasons 1t gives more
hay per acre; it is in its prime for cut
ting just when clover is ; it roots much
more strongly, and consequently throws
OUT much less than herdsgrass be-
cause of its strong roots and rapid ''af-
ter growth" it is a real protection to
the clover My advice to every farmer
is, do not raise less clover, but far more
orchard grass.-Rural New Yorker.
