A ScARE-CRow.-A good way to keep
crows away from corn-fields is to string
ten or fifteen kernels of corn on a long
horse hair (frem the taiD, and a crow
will swallow one of them, and the note
of alarm will soon be sounded, and it
will be impossible for him to dislodge
the grain, and in short time he will
cut his own throat by scratching at the
corn and hair; and in consequence of
the noise the crow makes, all of his
companions will leave the field and not
pull up any more corn that season.-Er.

ommended as poison for this worm.

washing the bushes with carbolic soap.

kerosene. After this add twenty five
gallons of water, aud apply with a
syringe; apply carly ou a sunny day, so
that the mixture may dry on the leaves.

LOOK Or FOR CANkER WoKM.-This
is the time to be looking after YOUR tree,
and guarding them from the ravagcs Of

After rain the grubs will be likely 10
ascend the trees and lay their eggs. Il
Is said tina! these pests can be circum-
vented by binding stiff paper around the
trunks Of the trees near the ground. and
keeping a circle OF tar or printing ink
drawn around the paper. Mr.. W. &C

about the foot of an apple tree to the

FAMINE AND DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA.
The accounts from California are very
dismal indeed in regard to the bad crop
prospects in that State, tho ruin wrought by
which is to be added to tho bursting of the
silver mining bubble. Doubts are express
sed if the entire San Joaquin valley will
yield 100000 bushels of wheat and barley,
which yielded last year about 100000
bushels. A California correspondent of the
New York Graphic writes under date of
May 18: Gall the news from the Pacific
coast is disastrous. will give it as my de-
liberate opinion that we will have famine
in this State before the season is over. The
drought has killed all our crops, and nearly
destroyed all our cattle. This is the Sec
ond great drought since the settlement Of
California, and the memory of those two will
always be cloud upon the business horizon
ofthis wonderful State, for capitalists will not
invest money in ranches and cattle, and rpa
the risk of burning season, when all their
possessions will be devoured and aunihila-
ted by the sun and dust. fear you will
soon hear of more business disasters of
most gigantic character from this coast
Things were really in an unwholesome state
when Ralston died, but the difficulty was
then avertcd only to end in greater calam-
ity and panic. 1t is fact that people who
were millionaires six months ago, are to-day
eager to secure situations as walters and
farm laborers. The drought alone nearly
ruined the State, but occurring simultane-
ously with the bursting Of the mining bub-
bic, it has proved more than the people Of
the State can stand. Starvation literally
stares the whole farming population in the
face, and in few weeks more they will have
neither meat, fruit nor grain"
