A Remedy for the Peach Borcr'

Besides hunting up tue worms
and killing them, the following
wash is recommended by NJ. b.
Bateham, of Painesville, Ohio, to
keep of the parent moth:
For an orchard of say 800 bear
ing peach trees We buy a pint OF
crude carbolic acid, costing not
over 20 cents (or half as mnch OF
the retiued), then take a gallon OF
goOd soft soap aud thin IL with a
gallon OF hot water, stirring In the
acid snd letting 1t stand over
night or longer; then add eight
gallons of cold soft water, and stir.
| We then have ten gallons of the
liquid ready for use. Some peach
growers use q little more and 9th
ers less of the acid. The proper.
ton stated is strong enough, and If
much stronger would be likely to
ipjure the trees. The wash should
be thoroughly applied with swab
or brush around the base OF each
tree, taking pains to have it enter
all crevices.
The parent moths seldom appear
before the hot weather at about
the last of June, aud have never
seen one depositing eggs IN this
climate before the first Of July
Hence we find this the best time to
apply the wash, as it drives of the
moths by its odor, and instantly
kills any eggs that may have been
deposited. For the apple borel
apply the wash about the first Of
June. 1t is equally effective fol
both, and when made about hall
the strength named is a good wasl
for the prevention of mildew on
grape vines aud irnit trees, and nc
doubt has some tendency to pre-
vent blight.

1t is now proposed to elect Grant

Grant is perhaps the greatest and

been proposed to make the senate
an aims house for him and put him

now they want to support him for
six years on the New York senator

After dinner the politician enter

of fare out IN that way, instead OF
having it printed. "Weli," replied
the General, "the fact is; it is for

ORANGE CROP FROZEN.
The Coldest Winter i'm Florida
Since 1857.

Jacksonville (Fls., Union.
Wednesday night, December 90
80, was the cOltlest recorded since
1857, aud With oiIe exception the
col,lest since 1885. The oranges on
the trees in the city were all frozen
this morning. Mr.. Moore, of Fruit
Cove, reports his orange crop as
very badly damaged; In tact, he
fears the loss of his entire stock.
A Telegram 10 Mr.. Whitfield
Walker, from Penssoikee Lake,
Sumter county, dated at 10 am.
yesterday, stated that no damage
was done to the orange crop or
trees, except TO very tender buds
on small trees. The temperature
yesterday morning stood as fol-
lows: Green Cove, 200; Fruit
Cove, 200; Mandarin, 200; Bean.
ciere, 200; Hibernia, Is. Mr.. John
BroSn, of Mandarin, reports his

A. s. Baldwin gathered 15O or.

Canoua states that the mercury
went down to 24o, but the fruit at
that place had not been injured.
At Palatka the thermometer went
down to go, and the oranges at
that place were badly frozen.
The damage to the crop can not
be accurately estimated. 1t is the
general opinion that the trees will
not be hurt, aud it is hoped that
the number Of oranges destroyed
by the cold will NOT he as large AS
most persons now fear. In some
sections most of the fruit will
probably be saved, and about one.
third has already been marketed.

the following cat story, which Is
declared to be a positive fact: The
mistress of the cat having drowned
all its young ones, the poor animal
suffered much ffom excess OF milk,
and was observed for some days
afterward to make her appearance
only at meal time. AT last, an nn.
usual noise having been heard in
the cellar, the servant went down
to ascertain the cause, aud found
the cat lying on her side and suck.

which had apparently been aOan-

longer the cat continued thus to
feed her natural enemies; but at
the end Of that time, beiug no

she one morning killed them all.
