The Caterpillar and How to De-
gEr0v IL

This has been a most serious enemy
for the last few years to our fruit trees
in all parts of the country. Some
years it has nearly stripped the orchards
of foliage to the great destruction of
the fruit crops, and if left alone to &C
cumulate and gather strength, it will
this season of the year will be seen a
small ,glutinous ring around the small
branches, and at or near the extremities
OF these. This ring is composed of
eggs in number from three to Eve hun
dred. In the winter the eggs are pro-
tected by water proof varnish which
can be destroyed neither by frost nor
rain. There is no trouble about detect
ing the little knots to which reference
is here made. Aud now is the time for
their speedy destruction. For this pur-
pose it is best to select cloudy day, as
on bright one, the continuous round
of inspection which is carried on is
painful to the eyes. Take basket and
ladder so that you may be- able to
ascend at pleasure. Scrutinize the
branches closely, and cut off all those
on which eggs are located and burn
them. In this way, in one hour, more
OF the pests can be destroyed than IN
whole day, further on in the season, when
they are scattered about on the trees.
If any of the eggs chance to be over
looked they will be Matched about the
time the leaves begin to open. At this
stage the most effectual method is to
take long pole, at the end of which
attach sponge. Then prepare strong
I've, into which dip the sponge. Finally,
swab the nest of caterpillars thorough
ly, and every single insect that the
sponge comes in contact with will be
killed.-C0r. Farmers Home Journal.

Pertinent Questions for the South
ern Farmer.

= DR.. Daniel Lee, whose pen is not
blunted by his ripe age, but who writes
with the same force and directness as
he did forty years ago, thus puts the
question of meat production before the
people of the south in the columns of
the Plantation
Twice the corn for forage will grow
on an acre in the climate of Georgia
that can be raised in England or Hol-
land in one year. In the hands of a
wise farmer, if corn forage and grain
don't mean meat, what do they mean ?
We want our young friends who read
the Plantation to compare the produc-
tive forces of the cotton zone with an
average fall of rain of some forty-fve
inches, with those of central Europe,
with an average rain fall of twenty-five
and one-half incnes, and a temperature
that will do about half of the growing
part of a crop of cotton. The organic
ing power of the land, and people who
introduced root culture into England
some centuries past, is small compared
with ours. The force that makes bale
of cot on on an acre can perform the
exact equivalent in the growth OF wool,
mutton, horse flesh, cheese or beef.
Agricultural force is as enduring as
time and as reliable a. the multiplied
ton table. Why not put more of this
force into grass, meat and other pro-
visions for foreign consumption Why
perpetuate wilderness in the south
and call it peace?

Care of Moulting Fowls.

The season for moulting depends
somewhat on the age of the fowl; yet
this can not always be depended upon,
as some birds moult at an earlier age
than others. August and September
are the months to wotch your moulting
and comparatively naked fowls. Be
sure and house them all night; feed
upon stimulating food, with care that
they are well supplied with fresh water,
and a grass run if possible, as it is the
most criticize time with poultry. Too
much care can not be taken for their
comforts. Roup and many other dis
eases originate in the system in conse-
quence of severe colds taken in the
moulting season, and which often de-
stroy the entire flock the following win
ter. Be sure your fowls go to their
winter quarters in healthy condition :;
and with proper care, no fear need be
entertained of sickly birds.
In raising late chickens, Matched in
July, the greatest care should be taken
in the autumn months, as such will
moult their chicken feathers when three
months old. House them in cold, damp
weather, and don't allow them to run on
cold, damp grounds; house them in the
morning till the ground is dry and feed
upon warm, stimulating food, for one
roupy chicken may deprive you of your
yearly profits. have bred upwards of
500 fowls, wintering about 200 birds,
and never had an epidemic of disease

Who the Devil He Was.

Highlanders have the habit, when

find the subject of discourse this after
noon in the first epistle general of the
Apostle Peter, chapter 9Th and verse
9Th, in the words THE devil he goeth
about like a roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour.' Now, my friends, we
will divide the subject of our text to-
day in four hea Is. Firstly. We shall

into his geographical posltion-namely,
Where the devil he was, and where

1t would be pleasant to relate that

that he devoted the rest of his days and

at Joe Cater why he did not always
act according to the good promptings

is to say that when, thereafter, Joe's

The Caterpillar's Winter Quarter

It is now ascertained certainly that
the cotton caterpillar constructs its own
winter house, and remains in the fields
it devastates through the inhospitable
seasons. Some days ago a planter
friend brought to our office number of
cocoons, gathered from the roots of
stumps, dead trees, old logs and fence
corners of fields that had been eaten up
by caterpillars. These cocoons are sub
stantially lined with a soft silken web,
as strong as felt, and as impervious to
cold and water as the most perfect COM
bination of wool and India rubber.
This lining is encased in a curiously
and wonderfully matched house of the
stems of the cotton leaf, closely and Sc
curely knit together by glutinous sub
stance similar to the inner lining. The
inside is a warm cosy little home, of an
inch in length and three-eighths of an
inch in diameter, and securely houses

the egg that matches the veritable cater

Corn or Cotton.

The March report of the Agricultural
Bureau gives some very interesting
facts with reference to the industries
popularity deemed most productive in
the various states, and remarks con-
corning the farmer:
Many more fail to see the all-import-
ant distinction between the return above
expenditure of so much per acre and the
per cent. of profit on the amount ex-
pended. For instance, a farmer reports
that cotton was more profitable than
corn, and proves it by exact statistics,
which show that, after deducting in
both cases all expenses up to sale, the
cotton returned per acre So more than
the corn. But the same statistics show
the corn returned IT'S per cent. on the
cost of producing and the cotton only
about 69 per cent. That is, three acres
of corn, yielding a profit of $14 per
acre, could have been cultivated at less
cost than one acre of cotton vie, ding a
profit of ST.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Journal of
the Society of Arts suggests that the
Europeans learn of the Chinese a CHEAP
and effectual process for the preserva-
ton of meat IN the fresh state. He
writes that some years since, when in
Canton, he observed in several preserv-
ed. meat shops pigs cut in half, like a
side of bacon, geese, ducks, etc, the
latter being quite flat, and the whole
covered over with light-brown Drepar-
alton, said to be lacquer, such as is nsed
for tables, and it certainly smelled like
it. The Chinese use these preserved
meats extensively as provision in their
sea-going junks, and On voyages which
sometimes last for year or more, and
that in the tropics.
