 Prosecuting Agent 4. T. Roraback of Canaan has been making it almost as hot for evil doers up in the northwest as prosecuting agent Fenn has done in the southeastern part of the county. He re- ports that the following persons have been convicted of selling without license and have paid up fines and costs: ..,
 North Co1aGon.-Jules Remiion Con two complaints), Timothy Daily (two com plaints). "a
 Canaan. - David Presher, Anthony Doyle, Timothy Tucker, E. J. Dudley.
 Sdlisbuy.-Elias J. Hicks, Theodore s. Russell, Michael Boyle, John McElroy, Wilber Brothers, Freeman Decker, Geo. K. Peck.
 John E. Sedgwick of Canaan, was con- victed and appealed. LL.Herman of that place was tried on two complaints, fined $20 on the first. and fined $50 and sen. tenced to 30 days in jail on the second. He appealed. The fines range from 5, to $30, for first offences. Mir. Ro- raback is deserving of great credit for the earnest way he is taking hold of this mat ter, and we hope soon to hear from other parts of the county that those who will not ''shut up" have at least been compell- ed to '.pay up.'' -.a...

The Berkshire Courier remarks as fol. lows regarding the Housatonic milk busi. ness:
 The milk producing business in the towns along the Housatonic valley has this year proved improbable. Milk brings only four cents a quart at New York. ai wholesale, and after freight and commis. sions are deducted the farmers receipts are small: More trouble has been experi. enced this year with sour milk than ever before. q

It is gratifying to see that the Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue recommends the abolition of the stamp taxes on checks matches &c.. substitutingan increase of ten cents per gallon on spirits. The re- quirement of a check stamp is continu- ing annoyance, and we are glad to see its abolition proposed. On manufactures, too, they cost the consumed an amount vastly out of proportion to the sum realized from them by the government.

The Winsted Herald has changed to the quarto form. The sheet on which it is printed is larger than before but its amount of reading space is certainly less than before. Its announcement of an Enlargement" on such state of facts ssr.kes rs as a trifie cool even fo1the latter part of November, 1874.

Scrapirg and Washing
Trees.
IRON the Germantown Telegraph.

from the Germantown Telegraph.
We consider early wiDtcr TO be
the best time for scraping and
washing the trunks of trees. 1t
j. well known to all observing
frult-gruwrrs lhat the loose bark
ut trees is the er.quarters OF
,nyriads OF insects, where they Sc.
curely remain until tie ensuing
-pring, when the warm, genial
weather invites them to quit
their cosy homes and begin their
destructive operations for the sea-
son. We have found a narrow
slw, rather fiue-toothed, to be an
excellent tool in rasping off the
superfluous bark. 1t accomplish
es it more uniformly than a hoe,
trowel. or other scraper; a trowel,
or q short-handled hoe, however,
Is very good, when the other may
rot he possessed. After the bark
is removed, the trunks should be
thoroughly washed with a prepa-
ration OF whaie.oil soap and wa.
ter, say in proportion Of a pound
OF soap to four gallons o. water.
1t can be applied to large trees
with hickory broom or a stiff
whitewash brush, aud to small
trees, especially dwarfs, with the
hand scrub brush. Sickly trees.
which can at this season be easily
detected by being covered with q
species of fungi, or perhaps more
properly n peculiar ms cliverons
depusit-should be scrubbed so as
to completely remove this. The
mixture will Of Itself benefit the
tree. while the removal from the
stem If all eXtraneous and lnJuri,
Gus substances will give TO 1t new
health and vigor the ensuing sea-
Snn--in some instances 10 "a sur
arising extent. When whale-ol
SOAP is not obtainable, carbolic OF
aoft soap, OF I've should be used, bu'
Il should not be very strong, or II
might be Injurious to the roots OF
the tree if applied plentilully arc
the tree small.
