THE CrRcuIro.--A corresponding
writes to the New York Observer from
New Jersey "Thrcc years ago was
advised BY some ono TO soak corncobs
in molasses aud water. and hang them
to tho branches Of my plum trees. md
thereby attract the cnrculio to the cobs..
have done so since that time, and have
had crop OF fruit each year. Perhaps,
some Of your readers who have been
disappointed In regard to getting plums
from their trees, may be inclined to try
the molasscs. Tho oobs arc put upon
the trees rs SOON as the blossoms open; :.
1t is we'll to burn them after tho plums
have got beyond the time for the attacks
Of the insects" 81 ~
New Cure FOR WouNDs.-As soon
as wound is inflicted get little stick
"a knife or filc-handie will do-and
commence To tap gently on the wound.
Do not stop for the hurt but continue
until il bleeds freely and becomes pur.
fectly numb. When this point is reach
ed you are safe-all that is then ncces.
sary is to protect IL from dirt. Do not
stop short Of the bleeding and numbness
and 10 not on any account close the
opening with plaster. Nothing more than
little simple ceratc on clean cloth is
necessary. We have used and seen this
used on all kinds OF simple punctures
for thirty years and never knew n single
instance Of n wound becoming inflame.l
or sore after treatment as above. Among
other cases: A coal-raketooth going
entirely through the foot. rusty darn.
ing needle through tue foot. bad bite
by o sucking pig, several instances of
file shanks through the hands and mum.
bcrlcss cases OF rusty nails, avis, etc,
but we never knew n failure OF this treat.

tNThc following suggestion from
the House and Fo-1t is interesting -
The easiest way to get rid of stumps Of
trees is to bore hole I'm the top-say
one or two inches, and eighteen inches
deep. Put In the hole from one TO two
ounces Of saltpetre. Gil the hole will,
water and ping up tight. In the spring
take out tile plug, pour in half gill OF
Kerosene oil, and set fire to 10. The
stump will burn entirely up. even TO tho
smallest roots. -
