-Striped-Bug, or Cucumber-B Bug
After trying several methods l find
nothing so cheap and effective as to
keep close watch, and as soon as the
bugs appear scatter wood ashes over the
vines, either by hand or with dredging
box, made for the purpose. To the Hub
bard and other winter squashes it should
be applied both on the upper and under
surfaces of the leaves. 1t is important
to begin hostilities as soon as the bugs
seem to determine upon a point of at
tack.-Gardener's Manual

"A correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives the following directions
for preventing the rayagcs of the cut
worms, which though late for this season
may be of some service hereafter: Spir-
its turpentine poured upon seed corn be-
fore planting and thoroughly mixed by
stirring, so that all the seeds shall be i'm
prcgnatcd with it, is specific for the
terrible ravagcs of the cutworm. lhave
never known it to fail in one instance.
My own practice has been to put one
quart of turpcntine to bushel of corn,
or in that proportion, which is sufficient,
and l have always thought that corn
came up two or three days quicker when
thus treated. Besides, the scent of the
turpentine, which can be detected several
weeks after planting, aids much in keep
ing crows at a distance.
TO preserve strawberries whole, to
every pound of strawberries take three
quarters of a pound of sugar. Put the
Strawberries into large platter and put
half the sugar over them, letting them
stand over night. Next morning drain
OFT the juice from the platter, add to it
one quart of red currant Juice and the
remainder OF the sugar. Boil and skim
this until no refuse scum rises, then drop
III the Strawberries (only enough at one
time to cover the surface of the prcserv-
ing kcttic), and let them simmer for
about eight minutes. Skim them out
into jars, and scald the rest of the Der
rics in the same way. Then boil up the
sirup and pour it over the berries. The
tart flavor of the currant juice IS great
improvement to the preserved strawber-

The Luxury of Making Believe.

Did you ever taste orange-pecl and
waterY said the Marchioness.
"Mr. Swiveller replied that he had
never tasted that ardent liquor.
"'If you make believe very much, it's
quite NICE said the small servant; but
if you don't, you know, it seems as if it
would bear little more seasoning, GER
tainly.'"
In giving utterance to this sentiment,
the diminutive, unpampered mental of
the house of Brass enunciated q great
truth, which applies not only to the sim
pie beverage she mentioned, but also to
many of the circumstances of our daily
lives. We are constantly called upon to
do or to endure things so thoroughly dis
tasteful to our mental or moral palates.
SO lamentably deficient in seasoning, that,
but for the making believe with which
we Appetite them, we should turn in dis
gust from their approach.
Do not hastily infer that a eulogy is
about to be pronounced upon that form
of making believe which consists in
stretching the truth of matter until it
bears striking resemblance to false.

APPLE-TREE BARK LOUISE.
This IS an old enemy, but though less
destructive than formerly, probably be.
cause of parasites and mites which prey
upon it, SO that, like the Hessian fly, wheat
nudge, and many other insects, it has
probably doneits worst work, to leave it to
itself at the present time would be to
yield the strife prematurely.
The bark-colored, oblong scales, so
harmless in appearance, serve from
August to May only for protection to the
sixty or seventy wee white eggs which
are found underneath. About the first
of June the young lice appear-so small
that, though clad in yellow, they can
hardly be seen without glass. Coming
forth from under the scale they roam
about for a few days; are sometimes
blown to other trees, thus spreading their
evil work; but very soon settle down to
earnest business. This consists in in
sorting their tiny beaks and sucking the
vitality from the trees. Very soon a
scale commences to form around them,
from an emulation, which is secretion
from the general surface. BY August
the impervious scale is complete. The
eggs are then soon deposited and the
parent louise dries up and shrinks away
to nothingness.
AS the scale is impervious to most
fluids, though oils will penetrate it and
destroy the eggs, the best time to fight
these insects is just after the eggs hatch.
At this time soft-soap or strong soap
suds are sure death to the young lice.
Hence the trees should he washed the
first week of June with soft-soap, not
only making the application to the trunk,
but also to the main branches and limbs
as far as possible.
We thus see that an application of
soft-sOap to our apple trees. made the
fret week of June, is of exceeding value.
1t not only exterminates the sappers
Ozark lice), but banishes the miners
(borers). We thus understand why our
fruit trees which are thus treated seem
fairly to laugh, as if grateful for such
timely aid in banishing their enemies.
have no hesitation in affirming that
the applc-grower will find the above one
Of the most paying operations that he can
undertake in his orchard. Let all, then,
scrape their trees early in spring, apply
soft-soap-not lye-the first OF June, and
again the first of July, not forgetting to
adjust cloth bands by the last Of June
