To Destroy CaterpllIars on Trees.

Having observed several methods of
destroying the caterpillars that infest
apple-trees in the spring,-such rs rub
bing them off, burning them with shaw
ings, cotton and turpentine, &C., / am
induced to give you the simple and per-
fectly eflectual method practiced here !:
Take common soft-soap, and thin it with
water so that it will not slip off the
brush, and person may stand upon the
ground and apply 1t to the nests with a
common painters brush, inserted in a
hole bored through one end Of long
strip sawed from pine or other light
board, and all that it touches it will in
stantly kill. If applied while the nests
are small, very few will escape the first
application. After the worms are larger,
it is equally efficacious, but much more
difficult to apply thoroughly.
Any thin oil, or oil mixed with spirits
of turpentine, is equally destructive to
the worm; but the soap is less injurious
to the trees,
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1877-06-12
Don't Rob the Birds Nests.

In the course of a recent lecture in
Paris regarding the uses of birds, an
estimate was formed of the damage to
crops by the robbery of nest contain
ing five eggs. During the first month
each young bird eats on an average of
about fifty-eight flies or other insects in
day. The aggregate, multiplied by
thirty, for the month makes $500 insects
to every nest. Every insect eats daily
from blossoms and leaves an amount
equaling its weight until it reaches ma
turity. 1T was calculated that in thirty
days each insect would damage thirty
blossoms, and thereby destroy thirty
fruits, and that Z 500 insects would kill
225, 900 fruits. 1t will be well, therefore,
for farmers sons to reflect upon the
damage done to their parents by the
waMton robbery of a single nest.

The Care of Colts.

If a colt is never allowed to get an
advantage, it will never know that it
possesses a power beyond its masters
control; if made familiar with strange
objects, noises, flags, it will not be
nervous or skittish. If horse is accus-
toned from his early youth to having
objects hit him on the heels, back and
hips, he will not attempt to run away
when harness gives out or wagon
runs against him. If all the colts in
this country could be managed for the
first few years of their lives by good,
careful, competent managers, we would
have race of we'll broken horses.

Testing Flour.

In selecting flour first look to the col
or. Ifit is white with ayellowish straw
colored tint, buy 1t. If it is white with
a blush cast, or with white specks, in it,
refuse it. Second, examine its adhesive
ness-wet and knead a little of 1t between
your fingers; if it works soft and sticky,
it is poor. Third, throw little lump of
dried -four against smooth surface; if
it falls like powder it is bad. Fourth,
squeeze the flour tightly in your hand
if it retains the shape given by the pres
sure, that, too, is good sign. 1t is safe
to buy -four that will stand all these
tests. These modes are given by all our
flour dealers, and they pertain to mat
ter that concerns everybody-the staff
of life.

Sour Feed.

The souring of foods seems to add to
its value for certain purposes: thus ex-
periments have convinced many in the
belief that pigs thrive better on soured
food than any other, but is yet a mooted
question regarding the use of such food
for other kinds of stock. The souring
of food is owing to II change called the
lactic-acid fermentation, by which this
acid (the acid of milk is produced from
some of the carbonaceous principles of
the food. The same acid occurs in the
gastric juice of the stomach.

ONE WAY TO HARMONIZE.-Thes set
Element made by several coal companies
in Pennsylvania with their GOLFERS is
very salutary as furnishing an example
of the triumph of liberality, fairness, and
fidelity. These companies are the Pitts
ton, the Butler, and the Phoenix. The
wages of the GOLFERS in each case were
advanced ten per cent. Gen. Dining,
president of the Pittston and Butler COM
panies, most patiently investigated the
matter, and came to the conclusion that
this increase was just, and especially
due, because the employees chad remain
ed loyal to the company" and he was
determined to repay their allegiance in
a Substantial manner" This Is so
much better than killing, wounding,
and the burning and destroying of pro-
perty. If there had been a violent
demonstration the General declares that
he would not have made any advance
whatever.-Rich. Dispatch.
