most of the trees bearing fruit about the
middle of June, and as we have before
stated, destroyed about IL, 900 worms and
pupR. We think il was in the autumn of
this year that we saw the first notice in
print of the use of cloth bands-being,
as described, five to ten inches wide and
two or three times around the tree, fast
ened with a string-worms to be killed by
taking off the bandages and immersing in
hot water, or putting them through a
clothes wringer. In 1871 we effected a
like wholesale slaughter with the general
application of the narrow bands, expert
menting with different materials. Old
carpets being not always at hand, old bale
cloth being too loose and open, and new
cloth too expensive, strips of old paper
flour-sacks answered well F; and this year
we are trying strong roofing paper, which
is cheap and promises to answer the pur-
pose very well. We are also trying tarred,
felt and oiled paper, which, if not repul-
sive to the worms, will be about as cheap
and more durable, answering for several
years. Fifteen thousand apples must
have been required in 1870 to breed the
worms we killed under the bands, as it is
seldom that more than one worm is found
in an apple, and allowing 800 to bushel,
gives fifty bushels damaged or entirely
ruined by these worms and If we only
captured one-half the worms in the or.
chard, the loss is increased to 100 bushels
Supposing one-half the worms DESTROYED
to have been females, and one-half OF
these to have been of the first brood,
they would have deposited in the
late apples 750, 600 eggs, thus dam
aging 1850 bushels of the autumn
and winter apples. Now suppose thest
eggs to have produced as many worms
and all TO have passed the winter safely
they would, in the spring of 1871, hav,
aggregated, with the $500 of the lat
brood destroyed under the bands, 757, 50'
moths; but large proportion of the lat
brood are destroyed in cider-making ant
other uses the apple is put TO, and thei
number is also greatly lessened by birds
and often, perhaps, by the vicissitude
and inclcmcnoy of winter.
II a small crop of apples on 10, 900 tree
be estimated at one bushel per tree, o
3. 100000 of apples, it would require IS
600 female moths to deposit an egg i
each one; of course, a larger crop of te
bushels per tree would require 80, 90
moths, but as, in our experience up {
this time, they have never infested the er
tire crop, and as no more moths can exis
in the Spring than were bred in the pr,
vious crop, and have safely passed tn
Winter, it is evident that the larger Gro
would have more than nine times NOR
sound apples than the whole amount c
the smaller crop.
If the large orchardist put into cor
slant practice a system of wholesale d,
struction, like the bands we use, it woul

The Cooling MOth-ClOth Bands.

MORE than thirty years ago, three town
lots here were planted to apple, pear and
plum trees. Most of them were large
trees, and soon commenced bearing, and
for few years no signs of the codling
moth were seen, but after their first ap-
pearance, not more than three or four
years had elapsed before not an apple or
pear could be found that was not worm.
eaten.
Speculatively we queried whether
every apple in the large orchard we were
then planting would, in the future, be-
come infested with this destructive ap-
ple-worm, as in the garden. Practically
we are now able to say that up to this
time, though in some seasons its depreda-
tions have been fearfully prevalent, di-
minishing the value of the crop very
greatly, still we have always had por-
ton of the crop fair and unblemished.
On this fact we base our hopes, and mus
ter courage to attack this enemy /; for if
there are not moths enough to deposit an
egg in every apple, then every female
moth destroyed will add 200 apples to
the whole number of sound ones, assum-
ing that each moth lays 200 eggs.
In 1868 we hit upon the use of our mar
row cloth band Zone or two inches wide,
nailed to the tree at one end with an
eight ounce tack, the other end being
brought around the tree and hitched
upon the nail, so as to be easily unhitched
and examined at intervals of ten days, or
two weeks, the worms being destroyed
with knife as they appear in opening
the band, which was applied TO only a
part of our trees, but with encouraging
results. The summer of 1869 had so
many rainy days that work fell behind,
so that we were unable to scrape the
scales of old bark from our trees and put
| on the bands. In 1870 we put them upon

The Public Debt.

In response to a letter from General
Coburn, of Indiana, Judge Richardson,
acting Secretary of the Treasury, has
published detailed explanation of the
apparent discrepancies in the four differ
ent statements of the public debt. These
are as follows: The statement from the
finance report for 1869, the monthly debt
statement for July 1, 1869, the finance
report of the Treasury for 1870, and the
finance report of the Register of the
Treasury for 1870. Judge Richardson
says:
1.-THE first is an exhibit of the amount of princi-
pal of the United States securities and Pacific lk
road bonds, issued under various acts of Congress,
outstanding June 30, 1872.
"The second is statement of the principal Of
the outstanding debt. including accrued interest
thereon, with the Pacific Railroad bonds sx-
cluded.
The third shows the outstanding principal Of
this debt, with sinking fund deducted, in accord
ance with the act Of Congress, July IL, 1870, and
exclusive of Pacific Railroad bonds.
1.-The fourth is a statement Of the net debt Of
the United States, principal and accrued interest,
with the cash in tine Treasury deducted"
Each of these statements is made upon
a different basis and from different data,
in accordance with a law of Congress
specifically requiring it, and the result
reached is therefore different in each case,
solely on account of the different bases
upon which they are mnde up; but they
do not, in fact, conflict, and the different
totals do not indicate any irregularities
or discrepancies in the books of the Treas
ury Department. Judge Richardson con
cludes as follows:
"It is oy the monthly debt statement, which 4,

A Hint for BOres.

SOME time ago there lived a gentleman
of indolent habits in Sussex, who made
business, in the winter season, of visit
ing his friends extensively. After wear
ing out his welcome in his own immedi-
ate vicinity last winter, he thought he
would visit an old Quaker friend, some
twenty miles distant, who had been a
school fellow of his. On his arrival he
was cordially received by the Quaker, he
thinking his visitor had taken much pains
to come so far to see him. He treated his
friend with great attention and politeness
for several days, and, as he did not see
any signs of his leaving, he became un-
easy, but he bore it with patience till the
morning of the eighth day, when he said
to him:
"My friend, am afraid thee will never
visit me again."
"Oh, yes, / SHALL" said the visitor; 81
have enjoyed my visit very much; shall
certainly come again"
Nay" said the Quaker, 81 think thee
will not visit me again"
"What makes you think 1 will not
come again?" asked the visitor.
eff thee does never leavs," said the
Quaker, show cans't thee come again?''
His visitor left.

WOlf.Teeth.

In reply to numerous inquiries as to
whether "wolf-teeth" in horses cause
blindness, We explain this question some.
what fully, that our correspondents NAV
see the matter in its true light. At the
age of five years every horse has or has
had what are called wolf-teeth. They are
pointed teeth, situated at the sides of the
jaws toward the front. These teeth are
naturally shed soon after their appear
ance in most cases, but sometimes remain
during heightened period, and as they
are followed Dy other teeth, it sometimes
occurs that an interference is occasioned
when they do not fall out, and they are
crowded in the gums and cause irritation.
In cases when from cold or neglect the
eyes OF the horse are injuriously affected
and at the same time there is trouble with
these teeth, it is very probable that the
irritation may sympathetically increase
the trouble with the eyes. But it is alto.
gether an indirect effect, and if the eyes
are properly cared for, the teeth would
never affect them. When the interference
is noticed, the wolf-teeth should be drdicn,
not knocked out; when there is no inter-
ference, they may stay in their place,
without Inconvenience, until they drop

assets and liabilities Of the Government. An ex-

The monthly debt statement is the bal
ance sheet exhibited to the nation every
thirty days as a merchants clerk shows
has balance sheet to his employer. This
monthly debt statement, upon a careful
examination, will be found entirely con-
sistent with itself to the uttermost farth-
ing. By this statement it appears that
from the date of President Grants inau-
guration down to September last, the
debt had been reduced in round num-
bers $340, 900, 900, and now, on the 1st of
October, there is further reduction for
the month of September of $40, 1877 ,343,
making grand total for three years and
seven months of $3.50, COO, 600 reduction
of the national debt.
These figures speak volumes for the
Administration of President Grant and
the Republican party. They are a silent
but effectual answer to the thousand and
one groundless calumnies heaped upon
the great party of honest, faithful gov
ernment; and, while one slander after
another of the Confederate journals is
overthrown, these figures, testifying to
the economy and integrity of the Admin
istration, stand to plead for the re-elec'
ton of President Grant.-Inter- OCEAN. &.

A Specimen Liberal.

THE editor of the leading German
paper in Cincinnati, Fred. Hassaurek,
was an original Liberal. He Joined Gros-
venor and Schurz in starting the ball.
When the free-trade feature was dropped,
and Horace Greeley became the Corporal
of the squad, Fred was nonplussed. To
be a Liberal or Republican was hard
question to decide. After a delay of
several months, he swallowed the crow,
tail-feathers and all. At first that ex-
cited no surprise, nor any special CEN
sure But presently it was reported that
previous to his declaration he offered to
sell out to the Republicans. His original
price was $25, 900. He afterward came
down nearly half. The Republican party
is not in the bribery business. That is
a game left to the Democrats and their
new allies. His overtures were, of
course, rejected. He thereupon came
out for Greeley. What bargain he finally
made has not been made public.
We were slow to believe this report,
and have been on the lookout for denial,
explicit if not circumstantial. But day
after day goes by and Hassaurek has
nothing to say. Yesterday the Washing.
ton Chronicle prefaced detailed state.

and will soon be put in shape where the

No candid person can longer doubt the
essential correctness of the charge. The
accused would have repelled it had he
