The trunk of the apple-trcc Is subject to
attacks from a number of beetles that bore
into the bark and wood. Among these pests
the most prominent Is the common apple,ree
borer (Sgp.rdd cJHdiGu. This may be Kept
down by cutting on! the worms, or by pour
ing hot water into their holes, in the autumn
or BY applying soap TO the trunk, or surround

Next To The borers the most destructive en-
emy of the apple tree is the scabinsect (Vy
tiI6pis po5ncrua, Bouche). The best remedy
for This evil is to scrape the bark of the tree
in autumn and again in June, when it should
be washed in wualeoil soap.
The leaves of the apple tree are liable &c

Cleaning Cellars.

The spring brings its annual cleaning, a
least to the house, but not always 10 the Gel
lar; and yet the cellar Is the most lmporlan
room in the house, so FAR rs cleaning is con
cerned. There can be no health in the house
hold when the cellar is left with mass OF
decaying vegetables, the remains Of the win
ter store. Many very careful people remove
even the potatoes from the cellar rs soon as
danger of freezing is over, and, if there be Il
good barn cellar, or other place where they
may be Kept cool and dry, and from contact
with the air, ii is Il good plan. If not sort
them carefully over and raise them up from
contact with he ground.
All other vegetables should be taken out,
and the cellar as thoroughly cleaned and
whitcwashed as any other part of the house
If this be done, and proper ventilation Is sc
cured, there is no better place to keep milk
for butter.making, unless one have dairy
house made specially for the purpose.
One of the most pernicious practices we
know of is to have Il lot of loose boards
about the cellar, winter and summer, con
tracing mold and tungous growth. when
the cellar is cleaned, every thing movable
and the cellar should not contain any fixtures
that may not be taken down'-shoud be car
ricd out Of doors, thoroughly washed and
rcrubbed, and become well aired and entirely
dry before being taken back. If everything
have a coat of zinc or chemical paint, 50
much the better. There is nothing pays bet.
ter than thorough cleanliness everywhere, but
the rule will especially apply to the cellar

How To GRIND WHEAT FOR FEED "A
writer in the Farmers TBioA gives the fol-
lowing instructions: 1t should be always
ground and fed dry or scalded with hot
water. For horse feed il should be cracked
as fine as possible without Touring; for cattle
it needs to be much finer, aud for hogs finer
still. We think an iron mill is preferable to
burr stone mill, for the kernel can be cut
better in an iron mill wit.ont Touring. We
have run horse power feed.mill tor the past
Iour years, and done much custom work for
our neighbors, and have taken particular
pains to have the different grades of grinding
tested by our customers; and nine-tenihs of
them agree with us. We have tested it with
our own stock, and are well satisfied with the

Cattle and hog buyers, being good judges
OF the live weight of animals, are constantly
buying without weighing and frequently
make large sums by farmers understanding
the weight of their stock. Weigh all your
animals when you sell, and before you sell
ascertain the true value at the time of sale.
