On some trees We find good many limb half
an inch or less in diamtrr, surrounded by black
ring quarter Of IN inch thick and one inch long.
On breaking one Of these open, We found it con-
tanned many cells, each Of which will send forth
what will become one specirs If caterpillar. The
rings should be all taken Cd now.
e. On almost every tree are many leaves rolled
up, one in place. On unrolling the leaves, We
find what appears to I've the shriveled body Of an
old dead caterpillar, snd within that little one.
Ten days ago the young one was SO email that
my clear eyes could not see It without Q micro

days longer, it will leave its present abode aad
enter one Of the opening buds, which believe Il
always destroys. 1t passes from flower buds to
flower buds ustil the leaves appear. Then they
gatbea,at some fork among the limbs, cover them
selves with sort Of web. which turns water;
within this web they remain nights and when it
rains issuing forth at other times to prey upon
the foliage Of the tree. Toayoid injury from this
species, these rolled leaves should, as much m
pos ible be pulled from the tree and thrown upsn
the ground where the empryO caterpillar will
die. But all cannot be killed in this way. As
soon rs they assemble in their web house, I take
four quarts Of ley, and four quarts common soap,
and heat them till they will mix, have wooden
cloth wrapped around the end Of stiff pole and
securely tied; 60 early in the morning, while
they are in their nest rub the nest and all in it
and around it with the mixture u soap. l also
rub some Of the mixturo around tie upper part
Of the trunk Of the tree. The rsins will wash
this down the body Of the tree killing all little
insects and giving the tree fine and healthy ap-
pearance.

CURE FOR THE BITE oE MAD DOG.-A writer
in the National Isteiligsmcer says that spirit Of
hartshorn is a certain remedy for the bite of a
mad dog. The wound, he adds, shall be con-
stantly bathed with it, and three or four doses,
diluted, taken inwardly during the day. The
hartsiorn decomposes chemically the virus insin-
uated int1 the, wsand, and immediately alters
and destroys its dilaterionsness.~ The writer,
who resided in Brazil for time, first tried it
for the bite Of . scorpion, and found that it Ie-
nleved the pain almost instantly. Subsequently,
he tried it for the bite of rattesilake, with sim
liar success. At the Suggestion Of the writer, an
old friend and physician tried il in cases Of n.y.
drOphobia, and always with success.
