Perhaps some would make little extra ex-
ortion to save their currant, raspberry and
gooseberry bushes, and also their rosebushcs
and other ornamental shrubbery If they but
know they can do so without even the trfling
expense of 40 or 80 cents a pound for pow
dered white hellebore. 1 suppose the drug
gists would have us believe that there is a
considerable difference between the hellebore
of commerce and that which anybody may
dig and prepare at little trouble and no ex-
pense but the pests which we would destroy
fail to distinguish between them. dig few
roots of the wild hellebore Commonly, though
enormously called poke root and without
washing or other preparation lay it away up
on a shelf in the woodshed to dry. When any
of the pests of the garden or shrubbery put
in an appearance, 1 put root to about two
quarts of water, in an old tin can, steep it,
and apply the liquid with an old broom or a
wisp of straw. A sprinklng pot might be
better for the low bushes but prefer the 9TH
er, as can get over more ground with the
same amount of the preparation, and it is
often more eficacious if applied from below,
which can better be done with the wisp.

When this enemy of both the currant and
goosoberry bush first made It's appearance its
habits were so little known that IL often de-
stroyed most of the foliage on the bushes,
before discovered and many thought that
tho worms Matched out, and grew to full size
in three or four days but careful observa-
ton discloses the fact that the reason they
had been supposed to grow SO quick was be-
cause the small worms, for several days,
nearly week, kept hid in the centre Of the
bushes, where they could eat unseen and also
be protected from the hot sun. Careless OBJ
servers looked only on the outside of the
bushes, and seeing no worms, supposed they
were not Matched.
After the habits of the worms become
known they are easily discovered by opening
the bushes and looking into the centre. When
the worms are first Matched very small pin
holes will be discovered in the leaves as the
worms grow larger they eat more and more
of the leaf, and at the same time approach the
outside leaves of the bushes when near the
outside they are large enough to make clean
work. About the 10th of May their appear
ance may be looked for as soon as discover
ed measures should be taken to destroy them.
The easiest to apply and perhaps the most
effectual, is hellebore sifted on the centre of
the bush it requires but very small guam
tity to accomplish the work. Air Stacked
lime, II IL touohes the worm, Will Kill II, so
will ashes and even dry dirt. The worm be-
ing covered with sticky substance anything
dry and fine sifted on him will kill him but
as it is important to kill all the first crop, that
there may be no second, and as the lime
ashes or dry dirt will do no injury except it
strikes the worm, many will escape usually
enough to secure o good second crop; 1t is
therefore best to destroy the first crop with
hellebore, which is very likely to make clean
work 30 that il second crop comes they
must come from worms raised on some neigh
boris bushes, where the battle against the first
crop has not been fought successfully.
When all cultivators Of currant and goose
berry bushes will attend to it in season, and
kill all of the first crop, we shall be very like
~ to get rid of this pest of the garden. Every
cultivator of these fruits should feel it to be
his duty to either cut his bushes down or take
especial pains to kill all of the worms when
this is done we shall soon be rid of very
troublesome enemy. PIoughman.

that urged upon the attention of Con
gress at its last session, the importance of
relieving the industry and enterprise of the
country from the pressure of unnecessary
taxation 1t is one of the tritest maxims
of political economy, that all taxes are bur-

imposed, and though there have always
been among our people wide differences of
sentiment as to the best methods of raising
the national revenues; and, indeed, as to
the principles upon which taxation should
be based, there has been substantial accord
in the doctrine that only such taxes ought
to be levied as are necessary for wise and
economical administration of the govern
