The Tree BOrers.

Tho other day an intelligent friend in
town informed me that the borers were
likely to destroy his ash-leaved maple
(box elder) trees. and asked what he
should do to save them. Others may
be similarly troubled, and SO l have
concluded to say what l did to him
and something mOre-through the Free
man. In fact, various species of borers
infest many of our timber, shade and
fruit trees. One species preys upon the
soft or silver maple, another on the ash,
and another upon the box elder. More
than one species destroy our apple
trees. Against one of these apple tree
borers-that which infests the limbs of
the tree, entering them from the under
side-there seems to be scarcely any
direct defense. Possibly observing en-
tomologists like Prof. Osborn, of the
Agricultural College, or George +.
Richardson, our own intelligent "bug
man., may discover some means of di-
rectly extirpating this dangerous pest.
Another bOrer gets into the mountain
ash, and another into the Towering cur
rant-(and biped species carries off
the editors pencils and his best ex-
changes). In short there seems to be
literally no end to them, and their dep
relations go on year after year with
little or no check. In the case of young
growing trees. the best remedy to be
applied now is this: Search out care
fully and destroy any of the young
grubs that can be found and then white
wash the trees. Whitewash for this
purpose can be made in this way: To
peek of strong, new lime. add three
pounds of sulphur. Then add boiling
water sufficient to slack the lime. Aft
erward the mixture can be thinned to
the proper degree of consistency to be
readily applied to the trees with a
brush. 1t should be plentifully laid on,
and it will form crust which will eff
fectually keep out the borers. This is
just the time to do this work, and every
man who owns 4 young orchard or
shade trees should not neglect the work
a single day! Then, as a further reme-
DIV, l would encourage the birds to nest
about the premises as freely as posi-
BILE. Boxes put up even later than this
time may very possibly be occupied by
the little housewren which, as l have
heretofore taken occasion to say, is, in
my opinion, one of the most valuable
of our insectivorous birds. The birds
all live largely, if not entirely, upon in
sects, and they will undoubtedly thin
out the moths which deposit the eggs
from which the borerS are Matched. 1t
will be found that the moths deposit
their eggs in cracks OF roughened
places; hence if the bark if left smooth
the trees will seldom be attacked by
the insects. Whitewashing will fill up
all holes and assures, and make the
limbs and trunks smooth, besides cont
ing them with the hard crust. 1t is also
recommended to rub the trees with
whale oil soap and kerosene. Prompt
attention ut this time will save many a
valuable trce.-Cnas. Ildrich, IN Ham,

The Use Of Salt i'm Wheat.Grpwing.

AS we shall soon be thinking of get
ting the land for wheat ready for seed
ing, it may not be out of place to say n
few words on the use of salt in its APP
plication to the wheat crop. We know
how it is with the animal world. A
very little salt is to most persons quite
agreeable. In wild state animals will
| wander great distances to tho salt-licks
to get a taste of the saline article, and
all of our domestic animals seem to en-
Joy it now and then. Most if not all
plants contain little of it, and those
animals which did not take it in its dis
tinct condition, take it into their sys-
TENS through the plants they eat. In
excess it is great injury. Everybody
knows this. 1t is just the same with
plants. In proper proportions it is a
benefit to vegetation. In excess it is
one of the most dangerous articles we
can apply.
1t is to be regretted that m ore is not
known about this subject. Some plants
can take up n large amount of salt with
positive benefit. others are satisfied with
the veriest pinch, yet no one knows ex-
actly what these plants are. Indeed,
judging from the teachings from quite
intelligent quarters, there seems to be
no recognition of this vast difference.
We see papers on "Salt," as if it could
be used alike for all things, and yet
there are numberless things which even
salt cannot save. True, some exception
to this wholesale and indefinite recon-
mendation of the use of salt is some
times made in the case of asparagus.
This, we are told, is especially agree
able to that plant; but we seldom see
any special plant named besides this

out for us what it would do us so much
good to know. 1t might possibly be
that wonderful results little dreamed
of now would result from such expert

Gifted by the use of salt, and from
case of which we know, we are much

the plum. AS it is, the plum is not q

warm climates.
But as 10 the wheat crop, it is certain

soils. if not overdone. Exactly how
much to put on it is impossible to say,
as the quantity advantageous will vary
with the soil. 1t is best to find out by
care by at first underdoing it-what
the land will stand. A bushcl to an
acre will be enough for n first expert
ment, to be sown with Or at the time
of sowing the seed. That will do some
good and no harm, and one can build
on this in future after seeing how it
works.

which generally go with the seed to tho
ground. -GermamtoWm Iclcgruph.

Words and Their Uses.

Richard Grant White has written a good
deal concerning the origin and various mean
ings of several old English words and
phrases, and many of his remarks are very
instructive and interesting. Primarily,
words were designed to express ideas, and
not, as Tallyrand said, to conceal them. If
3 genuine autograph of Shakespeare, Milton,
Swift or Pope could be found, how it would
be priced and appreciated by the fortunate
finder!
The old Charter Oak at Hartford is justly
cared for, and its history is priced beyond
anything else in Connecticut; and the public
throughout the United States have a vague
idea that it must have some intrinsic merit,
because the words "Charter Oak" have been
used as trademark by the largest stove
factory in the world. For our own part, We
like to see ambitious manufacturers stamp
their goods so that buyers will know them
on sight. The CHARTER OAK STOVE rather
adds to the claims for generation Of the old
Charter Oak at Hartford, and will be likely
to perpetuate it long after the original tree
is entirely forgotten. This is the way of the
world. (5-2S)

TOUR OF THE WORLD IN

JULES WINES GREAT STORY.
CHAPTER v.-CoNTINuEp.

CHAPTER N.-CoNTINUEp.
During the first few days which fol-
lowed the departure of the gentleman
important business transactions had
teen made on the strength of his I'M
dertaking. The world of betters in
England is more intelligent and elo-
waited world than that of gamblers. To
bet is according to the English temper
ameut; SO that not only the various
members of the Reform Club made
heavy bets for or against Phileas Fogg,
but tho mass of the public entered in
to the movement. Philcas FogS was
entered Ike Il race horse in n sort of
stud book. A boud was issued which
was Immediately quoted upon the Lon
don Exchange. ''Phileas Fogg" was
''bid'' or asked firm or above par,
and enormous transactions were made.
But five days after his departure, after
the appearance of the article in the
Bulletin of the Geographical Society,
the offerings commenced to come in
plentifully. ''Philoas Fogg" declined.
1t was offered in bundles. Taken first
at five, then Mt ten, it was finally taken
only ut twenty, at fifty, at ono hundred.
Only one adhcrent remained stead
fast to him. 1t was the old paraly tic,
Lord Albemarle. This honorable gen.
would have given his fortune to be
able to make the tour of the world,
even in ten years. He bet five thou
sand pounds in favor of Phileas Fogg,
and even when the folly as well as the
uselessness of the project was demon
strated to him, he contented himself
with replying: eff the thing is feasible,
it is well that an Englishman should be
The first to do itn'
The aiherents of Phileas Fogg bo-
came fewer and fewer; everybody, and
not without reason, was putting HIM
self against him; bets were taken at
one hundred and fifty and two hundred
against one, when, seven days after his
departure, an entirely unexpected in
cident caused them not to be taken at
all.
At nine o'clock in the evening of this
day, the Commissioner of the Metropol-
itan Police received a telegraph;c dis
patch in the following words:

The effect of this dispatch was immc-

appeared to make room for the bank
note robber- His photograph, deposited
at the Reform Club with those of his
colleagues, was examined. 1t repro
duced, feature by feature. the man
whose description had been furnished
by the Commission of Inquiry. They
recalled how mysterious Phileas Fogg's
life had been, his isolation, his sudden
departure; and it appeared evident
that this person, under the pretext of a
journey round the world. and support
ing it by a senseless bet, had had no
other aim than to mislead the agents of
the English police.
