about $4,000 letters. The distance
travelled over by his hand will average
about foot per letter, going to the
boxes in which they are contained, and,
of course, returning, making 2 feet for
every letter he sets. This would make
a distance each day of $4,000 feet, or a

inches long, formed into a cylinder and
set over the plant. They will last a
lifetime, and probably cost half cent

II is claimed that slight shock given
to an apple tree will send canker worms
spinning to the ground, and further that
if once off, these crawling pests could
make no Roadway over dry, loose soil,
providing their course was up hill. A
complete barrier to their return is form.
ed by heaping up dry ashes about the
apple trees.
AS soon as the harvest is ovar re-
member the strawberry beds, which
have yielded such a luscious treat a few
weeks back. If the weeds have not been
removed now is the time to attend to it.
1t is also the best time to form new
beds for next years bearing, by taking
the early.rooted runners. If taken up
with ball of earth attached they will
scarcely feel the removal. With this
care small bed may be made to yield
full supply of fruit next yaar.
The trunks of peach trees, large, or
small, ought to be washed now with

borer and will not injure the tree 1t
is bad economy to let the eggs of the
peach tree moth hatch and the grub half
circle the tree before anything is done.
Take out five pail kettle near the
orchard, heat the water to boiling, put
in some soft soap or not, as convenient,
then with pail aud broom scrub the
trees and destroy the peach worm before
it is worm-the same as good Guilt
vator does weeds before they are weeds.
