Agriculture.

NATURAL HISTORY.
The little gray moths come forth
in May and June, are wholly noe
turnal, and therefore seldom seen.
AS soon as the fruit forms, single
egg is laid on the blossom end of
the fruit I; and as soon as the egg
matches, the larva enters the apple.
All know the subsequent history
Of the larva in the fruit, for who
has not seen the tiny white cater
pillar, with its black head mining
away at the rich pulp, which it re-
places with filthl In three weeks
the larva natures, leaves the apple,
and in some concealed place spins
a silken cocoon and assumes the
chrysalis state. In from 0 to IS
days, varying with the tempera-
ture, the moth issues. The apples
are again stocked with eggs as
before, after which comes a recur-
renee Of all the disgusting work
narrated above, except that the
larva, upon leaving the apple, sim
ply spin cocoons, In which they
remain till spring, when they pu-
pate /; and in about two weeks the
first moths appear.
The time when the first moths
come forth varies from May / till
July / i; so that moths viii be issu-
ing from May 1 till August /, and
the "worms" viii be leaving the
apples from the last Of June till the
fruit is gathered. Ny own expert
ence seems to show that no pupa are
formed after the first week OF
August, as, so far as ] have examin- |
ed, oil larva that leave the apples
after that time simply spin cocoon
in which they remain as larva TIL
the next spring. Some Of the OBJ
serving fruit-men Of our State think
that during the past season mapv

of these insects pupated after that
time. Such cases came not within
observation.
OF those larva which leave the
apple while it still hangs on the
tree, about one-half crawl down
till beneath some bark or in some
crevice they find seciusion In
which to spin unobserved. Those
which fall to the ground with the
fruit crawl out; and if the ground
is free from all rubbish, stumps,
ETC., they crawl up the tree and
hide as before.
REMEDIES.
Place around the trunk OF every
tree, midway between the ground
and branches, a wooden cloth about
five inches wide, and sufficiently
long to pass around and lap enough
to tack. This may be fastened
with one or two tacks. have
usually found one placed in the
middle to be quite sufficient. The
tack should not be driven quite up
to the head. Before the cloth band
is adjusted the loose bark should
be scraped off. This may be done
earlier in the season, when time
will best permit. The bands
should be adjusted by June 20.
Under these bands the "worms"
will secrete themselves. BY July
7 the bands around the earliest
apple trees should be unwound
and examined, and the larva de-
stroyed. This can be done by
passing the bands through a wiring
Ell, OF by unwinding and crushing
with the thumb. / have found
this last method the best. Every
ten days after the first round
every nine days if the weather
is dry and warm--this work should
be repeated, till the last week of
August, and again at the close of
the season after the fruit is gath
cred. A common carpet-tack ham
mer, with a good claw, suspended
around the neck by cord will be
found an advantage.
Many apples will be carried into
the cellar with the larva still in
them. These unless destroyed,
will go through their changes.
Hence MI barrels, bins and boxes
in the cellar should be examined.

days ago March 13), procured

eve wish in the name of the

the habit adopted by most of our
towns, Of repairing roads only in
June, and then wholly neglecting
them for the rest of the year. No
matter what instructions there may
be, or how many stones may hereat.
ter appear, they must all remain
until the snow covers them, to ap.
pear in Spring again, or until the
annual repairs are again made.
We think that each highway sur
veyor should so over Lis district
at least every fortnight, with an
iron rake and make clean work of
all the stones. This would take a
comparatively short time to accom-.
pliSh, and would be of trifling ex.
pense, and would greatly promote
the comfort and safety of the trav.
cling public. We have in mind
now some pieces of road completely
with small stones which "a
half hours work might remove,
and yet which will probably knock
