Remedy for the Curculio.

Samuel S. Grubb, Of Wisconsin.
has sent the following recipe to
the Germantown 7elegraph::
AS soon as the plums are of the
size of a hazel nut Cor just before
the curculio commences its attack,
procure several gallons of coal or
gas tar; put about IA quart into a
long-handled stew pan, and with a
match all shavings you will soon
have a good blaZe-the better the
blaze, the denser the smoke. Carry
under the trees SO as to completely
smoke every part Of the tree-top.
Repeat three or four times a week
until the plums begin to rlpen, or
until all danger of damage by cur
culio is over. The smoke is very
offensive to breathe, and the smell
remains for several days IN the foil
age, or until washed off by rains,
when the smoking must be repeat
ed. Some may ask how long does
it take to smoke a tree each time ?
Not longer than to get the smoke
into all parts of the tree. 1t usu-
ally take about half an hour to
smoke forty trees.

Pushing IN the hay, he forgot his
fingers. The knife cut off too fin

all such cases, soft bread poultices

weak solution of salycilic acid-one

Maj. Ragland, Of Virginia, on
Bright Yellow Tobacco.

Plant IN hills as early after the
10th of May as plants and seasons
will admit. Commence cultivation
as soon as the plants begin to spread
owe the hills, whether grassy OF
not, and continue to stir the land
with plows and hoes till the tobacco
begins to come in top, using short
single-trees as the plants increase
in size, to prevent breaking and
bruising. When the plants are too
large to admit the pillow, use only
hoes 10 keep down the grass and
weeds.
Wait till a considerable number
of plants begin to button for seed
before you commence to top, then
these will ripen about the same
time. Topping must be done &c
cordlng to the appearance and pro-
mise of each plant, and the time
the work is done. First topping
for medium tobacco should be from
ten to twelve leaves, rarely more,
trimming off lower leaves, neither
too high nor too low, but Just high
enough so hat when the plant
ripens the lower leaves will be well
off the ground. Continue topping
as the plants are large enough, OBJ
serving, as the season advances, to
top lower and lower, SO as to bring
in the late plants before frost.
The plants, after being topped,
should be kept clear of worms, or
better still, Kill the tobacco fly with
cobalt in the flowers of the James
town weed. The suckers must be
pulled off before they grow too
long. Mind, do not be IN a hurry
to cut your tobacco before fully
ripe and enough of it so as TO fill a
barn. Have your barns close (log
ones are best), well daubed and
dry. Cut the tobacco of uniform
size, color and quality, putting
about even medium plants 10 an
ordinary four and a half feet stick.
The pillow should not be used later
than the first day of August, as
blowing late keeps the tobacco
green too long, and may cause it to
ripen of a green color. The hoe
should be relied ON after that time
to clean the crop. After the to-
bacco begins to grain-that is, to
ripen-neither pillow nor hoe should
be used. as it has been found best
to sacrifice pounds to color.

The Cooling Moth.

Perhaps no insect has given the APP
pie orchardist SO much trouble as
the codling moth, and any tactics
hat will give victories over this
long triumphant enemy will be
hailed with shouts all along the
line. Hear what Mr.. A. G. Tuttle,
for many years president of the
Wisconsin State Horticultural So
ciety, and a leading nurseryman OF
that State, says: MI. Tuttle is test
ing over 100 varieties of Russian
apples, and what he says is, that he
has discovered a remedy-or rather
a trap-for the moth, that has
proved to be a complete success.
This is the trap:
Take shallow pans or saucers,
and place some strong apple-vlne-
gar in them, and hang among the
branches of the trees. The smell
of the vinegar attracts the moths,
and they are caught and drowned
in the same.
Mr.. futile says he has caught
over forty codling moths in one OF
these pans in a single night. He
counts it a great success. He says
he notified c. Downing, the lead
ing authority on fruit in this coun-
try, of this matter, and of this sue
cess: and that Mr.. Downing advised
him to disseminate the information
through the med um of the press,
as it would be of immense benefit
to the fruit growers of the country.
Certainly this is important, if true.

Killing Weeds.

Our fruits having been planted,
the next thing in order is to Guilt
vate them. 1t has been proven by
different pomologists that the best
and easiest way to kill weeds is to
stir the ground just as they germi-
nate, and all who have ever tried
this method will bear evidence to
its correctness. The watch has
wen been held on a trial, and it
took five times as long to hoe out
the same space of ground where the
weeds we're too inches high as it
did where they we just peeping
through. If your fruits are in the
garden, and do not admit of horse
cultivation, take the hand rake and
thoroughly rake over the whole
surface. If You wish to use the
cultivator, see that the ground is
thoroughly ~pulverized. The pull
verization not only kills all weeds,
but is an assistance to the plant,
admitting air to the soil, causing it
to retain moisture, and the young
roots to push through o easily
in search of food-all the liquids in
the soil 90 to sustain the plant and
not the weeds. A light one-horse
harrow, containing many teeth, IS
admirably adopted for this pur-
pose.

Destruction ofSheep by Dogs,

The investigation into the loss of
sheep during last year shows a total
of nearly 5000, 600 sheep and lambs
destroyed by dogs and wolves, and
various diseases; and an aggregate
money value of nearly IS, coo, 900.
The average percentage of the loss
is nearly 8. The proportion is the
highest, respectively, in North Car
DINA, Florida and Louisiana, and
ranges from l. per cent. IN the
former State. to 3, g., 10 in Nebras-
ka. The rate is the highest in the

A singular accident occurred at
Rondout, \. u, on Monday after
noon. a horse-car driver attempt
ed to cross a railroad track in

The car was knocked twenty feet
away and overturned, IA lady pass

severed from her body, while an
other passenger made a narrow
escape by jumping through win

A bad case came before a New
York police court the other day. an
officer for tie Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children
having arrested a street beggar who
had with him a little blind girl who
played a tambourine. The little
girls eyes looked as though they
had been destroyed BY a great heat,
and it is supposed that she was
blinded by moving a red-hot poker
up and down before her eyes, as is
often done in foreign countries to
prepare children for professional
begging.

the local mandarin interfered with
