Paris Green in the Orchard.

Some time since an inquiry was made
as to whether there is any way to de-
stroy the canker worm on apple trees.
Four years ago they attacked my orchard
by millions, and a few DAYS after it
looked at distance as if fire had passed
through its branches-not leaf left.
In the orchard L had about $50 trees,
twenty years old. l had taken great
pains with my trees, and they did ex-
tremely well up to this time. / felt al
most discouraged, and knew of no rem
edy. After time the trees all leaved
out again, but grew very little that sea-
son. The following season the trees
were loaded with these pests by billions,
so that if one passed under the trees he
would be covered with the destroyers
and their threads, which hang down,
with worm at the end, about as thick
as a warp of open gauze; on these
threads they swing as pendulum when
the wind blows, and by this means pass
on to the next trees if near enough.
This time, too, they left scarcely leaf,
and then disappeared. The trees leaved
out again, but looked weakly and grew
but little.
The third season / was on the look
out. AS the trees leaved found them
again covered, but declared war, bought
hand pump and five dollars worth OF
Paris green, put a kerosene barrel into
my wagon, filled it with water, added
one tablespoonful of green to a pailful,
gave it a good stirring, had man to
drive around under the trees and keep
the mixture well stirred. took the
pump and sprinkled about a pail, even
ly as possible, on each tree. The sec
ond day after l operated a second time
with weaker solution and less quaint
ty, as l found their number but few,
and those not in good health, The past
season l kept good lookout, but failed
to find one. / have other orchards, but
so far have not been troubled. keep
my war material all ready now; if the
enemies appear, / shall storm their
works Immediately. There are a num-
ber of orchards hereabout nearly de-
by the easker worm.--T. L.
Guitord, IN Factory and Farm.

Worth Knowing.

Crusts and pieces of bread should bC
kept in an earthen jar, closely covered
in dry, cool place.
Keep fresh lard in tin vessels.
Keep yeast in wood or glass.
Keep preserves and jellies in glass.
Keep salt in dry place.
Keep meal and flour in cool, dry
place.
Keep vinegar in wood or glass.
Sugar is an admirable ingredient in
curing meat and fish.
Lard for pastry should be used hard
as it can be cut with knife. 1t should
be cut through the flour, not rubbed.
In boiling meet for a meal, use cold
water to extract the juices. If the
meet is wanted for itself alone, plunge
in boiling water at once.
Broil steak without sailing. Salt
draws the juices in cooking; it is desir-
able to keep these in, if possible. Cook
over hot fire, turn frequently, soaring
on both sides. Place on a platter, salt
and pepper to taste.
To prevent meat from scorching
during roasting, place basin of water
in the oven; the steam generated pre-
vents scorching, and makes the meat
cook better.
Beef that has tendency to be tough
can be made very palatable by stewing
very gently for two hours with pepper
and salt, taking out about pint of the
iquor when half done, and letting the
est boil into the meat Brown the
meat in pot. After taking up, make
a gravy of the pint of liquor saved.

Watering Horses.

A work horse watered regularly three
times day can safely be allowed to
drink as much as he wishes, if the wa
ter be good and of moderate tempera-
ture. If the horse seems very thirsty
and disposed to drink rapidly and in
large quantity, it is well to check him
after drinking little, allowing him to
slake his thirst by several separate
draughts rather than by one. A horse
much heated should not be allowed to
drink at will.
When it can be done conveniently,
the comfort of the horses will be
increased by having water in the field
and giving them drink once or twice
during each half day in hot weather.
Several farmers who have tried it
speak highly of the plan of stirring a
little oat or corn meal in the water de-
signed for work horses. 1t is better to
do this few hours before the water is
to be used. Thus, in morning, the
meal may be stirred in water given the
horses at noon. Care should be taken
to keep the vessels used from becoming
sour.

THE CLEAN VISION

did but dream. never knew
What charms our sternest season wore
Was never yet the sky SO blue
Was never earth so white before.
Till now | never saw the glow
OF sunset on yon hills of snow,
And never learned the buugh's designs
OF beauty in its leatlcss lines.
Did ever such morning break,
As that my eastern windows sccG
Did ever such a moonlight take
Weird photographs of shrub and tree?
Rang ever bells SO wild and fieet,
The music of the winters strectg
Was ever yet sound by half
So merry as Won school-boY's laugh?
O earth with pladness overfraught,
No added charm tiny face hath found;
Within my heart the change is wrought,
My footsteps make enchanted ground,
From couch of pain and curtalned room,
Forth to thy light and air l. come
To find in all that meets mine eyes
The freshness of glad surprise.
Fair seem these wintry days and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds of spring,
To set the unbound rills in tune,
And hither urge the blue-bird's wing.
The wales shall laugh in flowers, the woods
Grow misty green with leaing buds,
And violets and wild flowers sway
Against the throbbing heart of May.
Break forth, my lips, in praise, and own
The wiser love severely kind
Since, richer for its Christening, grown,
see whereas | once was blind.
The world. o Father hath not wrOnged
With loss the life by thee prolonged;
But still, with every added year,
More beautiful thy works appear!
As thou has made thy world without,
Make thou more fair my world within;
Shine through its lingering clouds of doubt
Rehuke its haunting shapes of sin;
Fill, brief or long, my granted span
of life with love to thee and man;
Strike when thou wilt the hour of rest,
But let my last days be my best! ...

ina JtHe 30. oUer exports. 0Uer Imports.

1t will be noticed that, prior to 1873,
the balance of trade was largely against
us, reaching one year (1872) to $l16,-
1916, but then the tide seemed to
turn, and since the panic in 1873, the
reverse has been the case and a rapid
increase of exports has taken place.
A summary of the above table shows
that, during the nineteen years named,
the excess of exports over imports Gn-
cluding merchandise, coin and bulliOn)
was very large, the balance of trade
for the nineteen years being in favor of
the United States to an amount repre-
senting a specie value of S21S, ,094,0 ,054
For the past ten years the balance of
trade has been $378, ,620,621 in our
favor.
For the five years from 1868 to 1873
Cnclusive) it was against us to the
amount of S27S,552, 40, but for the
last five years, from 1874 to 1873 (in-
clusive) the balance in our favor was
$657, 172, 791.-N Y. Graphic.

Interesting and Instructive Facts and
Figures Concerning Our Exports
and Imports.

Mr.. Joseph Nimno, Jr., Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, has prepared a
statement showing the balance of trade
between the United States and the rest
of the world for the nineteen years,
from June 80, 1859, to June 80, 1873.
This statement he has arranged in two
tables, one showing the net imports of
coin and bullion only, compared with
the domestic exports of coin and bull
ion for the years named, and the other
including merchandise of all sorts, with
the coin and bullion. In the coin and
bullion table it is shown that in one
year only were the imports in excess of
the cXports-that was in 186l-but it
will be noticed from the following table
that there has been gradual decrease
OF the balance against the United
States, of late years, with remarkable
decrease in 1877 and 1873:

It VIII be noticed That the largest
flow of gold from this country was in
1864, the closing year of the war, when
the balance against us was over S92,-
100000, but in 1871 it was $77, 900, 900
and in 1875 $71 ,000, 900, while for the last
year it was not quite $4,000,000. From
the forty-five days of the current fiscal
year, of course, nothing can be judged,
but the same conditions now exist that
existed during the last fiscal year.
But while we were sending gold
away we were bringing back foreign
commodities in exchange, and by COM

pairing the table above with the table
below, IL will be seen that there has
been all along a sympathy between the
shipments of gold and the shipments
of merchandise, and that during a ma
iority of the nineteen years named the
balance in both respects was to the ad-
vantage of this country. The amounts
named in the following table represent
specie values:
