A GRAND PROTECTION AGAINST CAN
KER WORMS.

Perhaps many Of our fruit-growers have
not yet heard Of the newest and most success
full plan OF killing and overcoming tho canker
worm nuisance. It Is simply by the applica-
ton Of printers ink around the trunk Of the
fruit trees, either directly to it or by daublng
tarred or brown paper aud then winding II
around close to the ground. Instances OF Its
successful use Is given by +. g. Pratt, oil Con-
cord, Mass, whereby he protected his large
elm shade trees from the canker worms;
"My father, as superintendent Of public
grounds OF Concord, has for tho past three
years had the charge Of the noble elms that
line the streets Of this ancient town. He
uses the refuse printers Ink for that purpose
and finds 1t efiectual. But my object In
writing this was to say that the sheathing
paper Is useless and only Increases the ex-
pense. We merely smooth the rough bark
sllghtly with drawing shave and spread the
Ink directly on TO the bark. Ii does not in-
lure the tree, 1t can be put on much faster,
and Is much more effectual, as II leaves no
chance for the moth to 10 up under the pa
per, which cannot be made perfectly tight
and close. Tho female moth begins TO run
about the fret week In November, and runs
from then to the middle or last Of April, when
ever q warm thaw comes on during the win
ter. The ink must be put on about once In
ton days during the fall and spring, and
whenever long tnaW sceiho nhcy uunS
the winter. The slightest contact with the
ink Is death to the insect"
In the New England Farmer he again
writes on the same subject
1--WE use the ink upon all trees, large and
small, elm and apple, without papering, and
after using It three years see no injurious ef-
feet on any tree. You must notice, however,
that say refuse printers Ink, and not tar,
which Is sometimes used. should not like
TO put that directly on tho bark; but, as the
Ink dries after we stop applying II, you will
see q thrifty growth Of bark cracking the Ink
ing, which II would not do II the lux was In
furious"

SINCE the first well-dehned suspicion Of
milk as the agent Of disseminating typhoid
fever, cvid ence has accumulated which proves
that tho subject is one Of importance by no
means minor. Dr. Bateson, medical lnspec-
tor Of Leeds, England, has Just added i'm
portant testimony on the subject. Towards
the close Of the year 1872, according to him,
fever appeared in Leeds in isolated places,
and In districts where the sanitary condition
was unexceptionablo. Tho cause OF this, for
while, completely bafiicd discovery ont at
length It was found that milk dealer living
In tho centre OF tho town supplied every house
In which fever was present. But tho milk
dealer got his milk from farmhouse, some
distance away, aud all within his own house
were well. Upon visiting the farmhouse SIX
persons were found suffering from the disease,
lying Ia a room adjoining that In which the
milk cans were kept and nursed by the same
woman who managed the dairy. OF the
eighty persons attacked fourteen died. A
dalryluan In Glasgow, having fever In his
house, supplied seyenty-three families, living
In Ave different streets, and In these families
thlrty-six cases OF fever occurred.

Mr.. J. l.. Labiaux, Of Rldgeway, N. c.,

for wine-making, 10 q success, as ! had good

ever, do not think will attain perfect Maturity
This proves that In this climate and soil French
plants and French experience In vine culture
well agree. Next winter and spring we intend
planting l0o,0o0 or l2o, 900 additional cuttings.
Permanent success, however desirable, Ia
scarcely to be expected on the Atlantic slope
In vineyard culture Of foreign grapes. 1t has
been sought for more than century, without
anything more than o very short-lived sue

LATE CHICKENS THE BEST lay
ERs.-A correspondent of The Country
Gentleman writes: "After repeated ex-
perience during the past twenty-five years
in Matching chickens, am fully convinced
that fowls Matched in the month of July
make far better layers than those born at any
other season in the year. EARLY Matched
chicks commence laying in September,
and continue until cold January weather,
when they discontinue until spring. On
the other hand, when Matched in July or
August, they begin laying in February and
continue until October. / find July chicks
will average fifty to sevcnty-five more eggs
yearly than those Matched in March. My
method, therefore, is to hatch one hum
dred chicks in August for my own use.
AS soon as the cocks can be selected
from the pullets, they are converted into
rot-pie, giving the pullets all the room.
The pullets are then well fed , and are soon
large enough to care for themselves.
The light Dramas have always been my
most profitable fowl; but with great
reluctance | am obliged, after three
years trial, to place the Partridge
Cochius at the head of the list. As layers
they excel any Asiatic breed | have ever
known, and as market fowls they have no
equal. They are very hardy, mature early,
and make short-legged, yellow feshed !,
heavy-breasted fowls. My pullets Matched
last August are laying now, as they have
since February. They are superior settlers
and most careful mothers. | am also breed
ing the white Cochins for the first time this
season, and thus far am much pleased with
them.n

SOME of the ancient laws Of Massachu-
sets are worthy of consideration at the
present day. In 1912 there was law pro-
viding that ''those who do not teach, by
themselves or others, their children and APP
prentices, so much learning as may enable
them perfectly to read the English tongue,
and knowledge of the capital laws, shall be
fined twenty shillings for each neglect
therein.o In those days it was also
thought proper that no interference should
prevent suitable marriages. A law of 164l
reads that il any person shall willfully
and unreasonably deny any child timely
or convenient marriage, or shall exercise
any unnatural severity toward them, such
children shall have liberty to complain to
authority for redress in such cases.
