7 THE CURCULTO.

3 rf FL
Ar Dennis Ne lcher, a very in
telligent farmer, west Of Burlington,
Iowa, recently informed President
b racket, of the Iowa horticultural
Society that having seen a par agraph
gong the rounds Of papers q year
ago, to the effect that corn cobs,
soaked in malasses, tIinned a little
with water, and hung in plum trees,
would prevent attacks from the
Icurcullo, he resolved to give it
thorough trial, and accordingly hung
upwards Of so cobs thus prepared,
in each of several trees, emitting
some, that the effect might be observ-
edad baE l# ,..a a
Mr.. Melsher declares that the ex-
pertinent was completely successful,
and that trees thus ornamented were
loaded with plums. while the others
were stripped, as usual. He further
says the tree, having cobs hung on
the lower branches, bore the most
fruit, and that the cobs were filed
with white worms, who seemed to
prefer them to the fruit. His theory
IS that the pests ascend directly into
the tree, after emerging from the
ground, and tx at, ifplenty Of cobs are
furnished them one the lower limbs,
they will go no further or higher
up.+eea aaet ss4
I remember that at the time : is
item was inserted in the papers Mr..
Riley undertook to ridicule it, as all
variance with all the known habits Of
The insect. A trial was made in
various. places, but by none that /
know Of who made it as thoroughly as
Mr.. Melcher. He gives the result
Of only one years trial. as being
entirety satisfactory, and with his
experience to guide us, so cheap an
expedient is certainly worth full and
exhaustive trial all over the country.
This mortal enemy ofthat splendid
fruit, the plum, finds so congerlial a
home Oh our prairie soils that even
the laboriors and long continued sys
rem of laking andpounding advis ID
by most horticulturists, fails TO
dlslodge him, besides seriously injur-
ing the trees in many cases. where
careless laborers have to be emplo ed |
to do this task. Very many fruit
growers have consequently abandon
cd the plum altogether
OCCASIONAL.
We have heard Of one other case oil
alleged success in this manner of
catching the curculio; and whilst we
must still confess lack Of faith, we
should like to hear more of The
experiment in the coming season.

FOREST TREES.
PLANTING AND ,CULTURE.

La April, 1868, I planted about 2
acres Of cottonwood seedlings, Of one
years growth they were about is
inches high. The trees were plant
ed four feet apart each way which I
think is about the right distance, as
by close planting We get more growth
In The trunk and less in the. lower
branches | marked the ground one
way, and planted across the marks
with spade, which I think is the
best way. In this way / got the
rows straight enough to cultivate
both ways, which is important. Ny
trees were cultivated two seasons.
Since that they have had no care.
They ale row twenty to thirty feet
high and growing finely.
In 1869 | planted some cotton
wood cuttings in the same way, but
neglected to cultivate them. The re-
suit is, they are not half as large as
those year older. I have planted
trees and cuttings of different kin Dis

then thin them out as occasion re-

honey-locust seed the present season,
which is growing well. Gather the
seed in the fall, and when dry, pound
the seed out Of the pods with stick.

HE HoUsEKEEPER RESPONSIBLE.
This topic lately formed the sub
ject of some excellent remarks by DIR.
Edward'J James, ofDorchestel, Mass,
in which he said THAI man is more
affected by the KIM Of food he eats
than the lower animals, because he is
OF more sensitive disposition. All
measures Of his life ought to depend
on his digestion, and the methods Of
his housekeeper. The stomach is
originally sound. 1t can digest and
convert all proper food necessary for
tie support Of the animal body, if If
is suitably selected and prepared. II
after our meal, the stomach complains,
we have headache. or are languid,
nervous, depressed, have pains Of
neuralgia Or indigestion, ofaour ener-
gies are ovsrporne, must be refer
red to the way in which we have
treated the stomach by putting un-
suitable burdens upon it. A large
portion of the ills are due probably
to our own fault, and to cur love of
what we call really good eating; but
the cook and housekeeper are, more
likely, TO blame. I1ff.aA3

for it is by many stages Of development
that the germ OF mental achievement
reaches its most perfect power. The
following amusing anecdote is related
Of the celebrated painter, Washington
Allston.
IL is said that not many years after he
took rank among the masters OF his art,
a picture was presented him one day for
examination. "What is your opinion ?
Speak freely, pray you" said the per-
son to him.
Allston declined; he was really un-
willing.
The other insisted. "It was the work

Bobby's Trowsers.

1t is not wise to do or say anything to
a child under an injunction not to tell.
Here is story in point, which was re-
ported to me from the ladies at Fingask,
Perthshire (1S53.) A Highland family
OF some dignity, but not much means,
was to receive visit from some Eng
lish relations for the first time. Great
was the anxiety, and great the efforts to
make things wear a respectable appear
ance before these assumedly-fastidious
strangers. The lady had -contrived to
get up pretty good dinner; but, either
from an indulgent disposition, or from
some defect in her set Of servants, she
allowed her son Bobby, a little boy, to
be present, instead of remanding him to
the nursery. But little was she aware
of Bobby's powers of torture.
Bobby, who was dressed in a new
jacket and a pair Of buff-colored trows-
ers, had previously received strict in
functions to sit at table quietly, and on
no account to join in the conversation.
For little while he carried out these
instructions by sitting perfectly quiet
till the last guest had been helped 10
soup, whereupon, during slight lull in
the general conversation, Bobby quietly
seid:
"You can't be allowed to have any
soup, Bobby. You must not be always
asking for things"
"If you don't give me some soup inn
mediately, rll tell yon"I
The lady seemed a little troubled, and,
instead of sending Bobby out of the
room, quietly yielded TO his demand.
Soup being removed, and fish intro
duced, there was fresh demand.
Mamma, / want some sea-fish,n Ia
rarity in the Highlands
"Bobby,n said the mother, "you are
very forward. You can't have any fish.
You must sit quietly and not trouble us
so much"
"Well, mamma, If I don't get some
fish, mind Pll tell yOn ~
30, Bobby, you're plaguew and she
gave him the fish.
A little furtheron In the dinner, Bobby,
observing his papa and the guests TAX
ing wine, was pleased TO break In once
more.
"Papa, I would like to have a glass OF
wineT'
BY this time, as might well be sup
posed, the attention of the company had
been pretty fully drawn to Bobby, about
whom, in all probability, there pre-
vailed but one opinion. The father was
irritated at the incident.
"Bobby, you must be quiet you can
have no wine"
"Well, papa, if don't get some wine,
mind I'll tell yonp
"You little rascal, you shall have nc
wine?"
"You had better do it," answered
Bobby, firmly. "Once, twice-will you
give me the wine? Come, now, mind
Pll tell yOng' Once, twice"
The father looked canes and lashes al
his progeny. Bobby, however, was not
to be daunted.

Don't Slam the Gate.

Now, Harry, pray don't laugh at me;
But when you go so late,
wish you would be careful, dear,
To never slam the gate;
For Bessie listens every night,
And so does teasing Kate,
To tell me, next day what O'Clock
They heard you slam the gate.
Twas nearly ten last night, you know,
But now 'tis very late.
We've talked about so many things)-
o, do not slam the gatel
For all the neighbors hearing it
VIII say our future fate
We've been discussing; so beg
You win not slam the gate!
For, though it is all very true,
Iwish that they would wait
To canvass our affairs, until
well-pray don't slam the gate!
At least, not now. Aut, by-and-by,
When in "our home" I wait
Your coming, I shah always Ike
To hear you slam the gate.
For, whether you go out or in,
At early hour or late,
The whole world will not tease then
About that horrid gate.
