Expose the worms.

This cold dry weather is a good time to
plow among orchard trees and to spade up
the sell close about the stems or bodies of the
trees, and thus expose all larva of the cod
ling moth that may be hid or concealed under
the surface or in dry weeds and rubbish of the
orchard BY blowing now two birds can be
killed with one stone, as the saying is. The
soil xill gss needed cultivation, and the
worms Will be killed at the same time. Those
that expect to make money in fruit culture
must take the necessary steps to secure sue
cess, and the freeing the orchard of injurious
insects is one of those necessary steps. a
ysry little work now will save very great
deal of trouble hereafter. a very few worms
killed now will save the necessity of killing
q great many after the present worms have
changed into moths and each moth has laid
hundreds of eggs, and from each egg
has katched a worm. Then, again, the
worms or their chrysslid5s can be found much
better now than they can later IN the season,
when vegetation covers the surface Of the soil
and affords SO many more and better hiding
places. Now is the time for local Commis-
sioners to do their duty, and see that all the,
orchards in their districts are cleaned OF all
insects that in any way do injury TO trees or
fruit. The law unexscuted will do no good,
and these local officers are responsible for its
execution. We hope all who have accepted
their appointments viii do their duty or re-
sign and let some other parties be appointed.

Where love-lorn sighs the languid breeze,
And dropping dies in minor melodies,
Among grass-h hidden volets and thyme,
/ weary listless ie low murm'ring some cid rhyme.
Soft languors through the pulses creep,
Whilst idle dreams fit in dim purple shade;
Fen love-sick Pan lies stretched asleep
This noon, methinks, in cool Arcadian glade
Silent are shepherds pipes on hill and vale,
Silent the river slowly winds adown the dale.

THE DUKE OF PoRTLAED.-W Welbeck,
the seat of the young Duke of Portland,
where the Prince of Wales has been stay
ing, is thoroughly underground palace,
and is more suggestive Of rabbit-warren
than anything else. Driving through its
tunnels is like entering an underground
railway. There is a subterrsnean picture
gallery, and the drive to the stables is a
mile underground. The late Duke had
1000 men in the woodward to cut timber
for the works, and gave employment alto
gether to over 5000 people on the estate.
He would sally forth clad in two or three
overcoats to give instructions to the men.
His great idea was to reverse the order of
things. "Don't doit that way do it this
way" was his customary formula. When
ever improvements or alterations were to
be made the Duke was always furnished
with model of them. Buildings were
barely completed ere they were pulled
down and re-erected on yet another plan.

HOW TO AVOID SMALLPOX.

A correspondent of New York paper
says : The spread of small l-pox in this city
is getting to be serious matter; and it
becomes the duty of all to give the public
the benefit of what, in their knowledge,
will tend to stop the spread of the disease.
| therefore append recipe which has been
used with success, to my knowledge, IN
hundreds Of cases. This recipe has been
indorsed by the most scientific school OF
medicine in the world-that of Paris-as
panacea for small. pox 1t is as unfailing
as fate, and conquers in every instance. 1t
Is harmless when taken by well person.
1t Will also cure scarlet fever. 1t has cured
smallpox when learned physicians said the
patient must die. Here it is:
Sulphate of zinc, one graip.
Foxglove (digitalis), one grain.
Sugar, bali a teaspoonful.
Mix with water, two tablespoonfuls
When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces
of water. Take spoonful every hour.
Either smallpox or scarlet fever will dis.
appear in twenty. four hours. For child
smaller doses, according to age.
TACKLING THE WRONG MAN.-The CON-
mercial traveller of Philadelphia house,

I've got two rousing big trunks, and they

To keep the pits from your face, it is
only necessary to use croton oil or Trask
ointment-the latter being the milder of
the two-which can be rubbed into the
breast, and by this means all the eruptions
of the skin will be attracted to that spot
The croton oil remedy Is used in the Eng
lish army in India with almost unfailing
success. Included in this treatment is some
light purgative medicine, such as Hamburg
tea. But IN either treatment there can be no
danger, provided the patient has fresh air
to breathe and Is kept comfortably warm.
To avoid the danger of catching small.po
1t IS only necessary to keep the internal
system IN good condition and the person
clean by frequent baths.
For disinfectant in a room where a
smallpox patient is lying, cut an onion in
two parts put them IN. separate corners Of
the room, where they will attract all the
foul air and purify the room When the
patient becomes delrious, put half an
onion in each hand it will draw the fever

EDUCATION IN IND1A-Colonel Macdon.

EDUCATION IN INDIA Colonel Macdon-
aid, late Director OF Public instruction at
Madras, India, in a recent lecture in Lon
don, pointed cut that in many parts of
India education was regarded as unbecom-
ing the modesty of the female sex mas.
much as it facilitated intrigue, it was fit
only for the prohigate female who engaged
in public dancing and singing. In some
districts no man viii marry a girl who is
able to read. At the existing schools the
great majority of the pupils never go be-
yond the elementary stage of education,
because Hindu girls leave school when
they are about eleven. Parents, instead
of paying fees, expect to be bribed with
presents of money and clothes for their
children, and require staff of servants
to be kept up to conduct them to and from
school. Because Of the difference between
the education of the English and Indian
women, although England has been init.
mately connected with India for $50 years,
there Is to-day but little social intercourse
between the natives of that Empire and
the mother country.

AGRICULTURAL.
MATTER PREPARED SPECIALLY FOR
TIE "REcoRD UNION"
Indications of Rain-orange Trees ana the
Cold weather = Expose the
Worms-Etc.

Tbouph the northern half of the State is
not suffering yet for rain, an uneasy feeling
upon the subject is becoming quite prevalent
among the farmers and stock .,aisers. We
think there is no reason yet to entertain fears
that we will lack an average quantity OF rain
this winter. Up to the time of the COM
mencement Of the late severe cold weather
and north winds, we admit it looked quite
doubtful if there would be much rain this sea-
son, but now that we have had one protracted
and severe wind-storm from the north, ac-
companied with cold weather, and are appar'
emily entering upon another similar stofm'
we think farmers and all others may
rest satisfied that rain will come soon, ard
in abundance. The old saying that
the north wind is paid back, with
interest, seldom proves untrue. Inc
snow belt is now well established on the east
ern mountains, and as the moist ocean winds
come up the valley they will, upon striking
the chilled air, most assuredly be compelled
to give up portion of their moisture, and 1t
will come down in rain. Had the weather
been comparatively still during the cold spell
then we should not feel so confident that rain
would follow, but the atmosphere is in state
of disturbance almost the entire length OF the
coast. and when such is the case rain Is most
sure to follow. The season Is not so tar ad-
yanced vet as to cause apprehension that the
rains will not be abundant and that they Will
not come in time for crops now In the ground
The rains have been late now for number
OF seasons in succession, and we may look for
them to be late this season. In 1873 we
had but little rain before the lst OF tebru-
arv. and vet on the 10Th of that month we
had the highest water ever known IN the
Sacramento valley, and rainy weather con-
tinned almost constant till late In April.
North Of San Francisco there is no lack OF
moisture in the soil, and the grain is doing
well. considering the long-contlnued colo
weather. The effect of the north wind has
not been so great in drying up the SOL as IL
would have been with a higher temperature,
and it has brought with it almost certainty
that rain will follow a chapge oil
wind for any considerable length OF time.
We think the rains when they do come will
extend all down the coast as the cold wave
has extended the entire length of the State.
At any rate we would not speculate on the
hope or prospect of dry weather till the END
of The present month. Should no rain fall up
to that time. then will be time enough to
look for dry season. The river bottom
lands wi will produce good crops with very little
more rain, and upon examination Of the lands
back in the wheat hills they will be found
much more moist than they are generally
supposed to be. Let the seeding go on with
confidence that the harvest will be good.
The high prices for all feed materials at pres
ent ruling we look upon as unwarranted by
the actual situation.

Fruit for Canning.

At the Horticultural Convention held in
Sacramento last month, committee of ex-
perienced fruit Gamers who where appointed
to report on that subject, recommended the
following varieties of fruit as the best to
produce for the canneriss: Apples, fall
and Newtown pippins apricots, royal ; cher
ries. large white and meaty varieties plums,
yellow egg, green gage, Goes golden drop,
Columbia, Washington, J,fferson and lex
worth; peaches, yellow Crawford, white
Heath and yellow cling; pears, Bartlett.
Those who are planting out orchards will do
well to plant of these kinds.

The New Route for Wheat

There has been ordered at New Orleans,
in March and April next. storage for lSo, ooo
bushels of wheat, which is to arrive in that
CITY over the new route by way of the South
ern Pacific Railroad This is probably an
experimental shipment to test the route and
prepare the way for the new crop OF 1882.
No event fraught with SO much Importance
to California producers of wheat has taken
place since the first export of wheat from the
State. If this route prove successful, as we
think it must, the year 1882 will be the be-
ginning Of a new era in California wheat
culture. The next move shsuld be to handle
the wheat in bulk, and thus dispense with the
bag tax on the growers

ventilation in the stables, clean bedding,
plenty Of sunshine and wholesome food. We
have not heard Of the disease outside Of San
Francisco, and probably because it has a
local cause for its origin and existence.
Those owning and caring for horses, however,
cannot be too careful to use every precau.Ion
to keep the disease from getting start. Inc
remedies which are found good in San Fran

Vine Planting.

There is great activity in planting vines
in new and in increasing old vineyards in
many sections of the State. Should this
prove an exceptionally dry season, as many
now believe it will, considerable loss will
doubtless occur in the vines planted. Greater
care should be the rule. Let the land be well
prepared by complete pulverization, and then
let the vines be planted deep in trenches.
