Cooling Moth and Canker Worm
BY PROF. A. ]. COOK.

The codling moth lays its eggs from
the time the apples set till the last of
August. The worms will be found in
the fruit from some time in June till
the apples are carried into the cellar.
There are two broods each year, and
the moths of each brood scatter along
for some weeks. The worms COM
mence leaving the fruit the LIST of July
here, or about six weeks after the trees
blossom, and continue to leave till after
the az piles are taken to the cellar. By
placing a band of woollen cloth, five
inches wide, about the trunk of the
trees, the worms will as they leave the
fruit, hide under these bands. They
remain under the bands for ten or
twelve days before they come out as
moths. SO by examining these bands
every ten days, the insects may be
killed.
This remedy is not satisfactory I'M
less all will practice it. So it generally
fails to satisfy. In large orchards there
is no remedy equal to that of turning
hogs into the orchard, and then thin
ming out the wormy apples. This gives
the fruit and worms to the appreciatiye
swine. The fair fruit will remain on
the tree and be the better for the thin
ming process, and we will soon be rid of
the insects. Fruit growers can be in
duced to do this, and it is therefore the
most practical remedy. Some prefer
sheep to hogs to turn into the orchard.
In using Paris-green to destroy the
canker worms, the fruitgrowers of
western New York have learned that
this is very perfect remedy against
the cooling moth. Said large apple
grower to me; "Che application of
this substance the last of May works
wonders" For the past two years ]

satisfactory results. | used London

tons, one about two weeks after the
blossoms had fallen off the trees, and
the other four weeks later. The ap-

free from worms.
Professor Riley says that plaster
would do as well. We have tried 1t,
and it seemed to do no good ~ all. Pro-
lessor Riley and Saunders both say
that this ID u dangerous use to make of
the poisonous arsenites. True, this OBJ
lection is the strong argument against
this remedy. Blu. the small size of the
fruit when the application is made, the
very small amount of poison that will
fall on to any single fruit, the almost
absolute certainty that this little will
be removed by heavy rains, as the

A Glimpse Of Whittier.

A tall. spare and erect person In a
long black cloak is often seen of late
upon the Boston streets, and never fails
OF recognition as "Mr. Whittier" He
is entertained a good deal in that lit
erary town, and always accepts hospi-
tality in the simplest and most genial
manner. A correspondent of the
Providence Press who met the poet at a
conventional dinner party describes
him as suspiciously cycling dish OF
spinach daintily served in French fash
ion, and presently asking his hostess;
"What do you call that herb?" at
seemed" adds the correspondent,
"like a sudden opening of the door into
another room-another atmosphere,
where, to do as everybody else does,
and 10 know everything that everybody
else knows, was not necessary to hui
man life and enjoyment, but rather the
reverse. How many people, simply
bred to plain country life, would dare
to show the simple ignorance that
Whittier did?'

An EcStatic RumOr.

The Philadelphia Press: A subdued
ecstacy prevades the royal cities of the
Dominion of Canada, and it seems TO
be in fair way to spread to that other
American royal city, New York. The
ecstacy is based upon the announce
ment that H. r. H. Elizabeth, empress
OF Austria, queen of Hungary, and 80
forth is coming over to this country on
a hunting expedition; and it is sub
dued because rs yet there is a possibili-
ty that the announcement is not true.
This is the first time we ever have
had anything really imperial over
here. We have been gladdened by the
presence OF young princes not few;
gallant youths who, in the course of
their rambles around the world at the
heels of titled bear-leaders, have tarried
tor awhile among us with royal affa-
bility that has Won all hearts. But
these fair lads, being not yet come int
their kingdoms had not about them
the halo of genuine royalty that hangs
dazzingly around our prospective guest.
She-bless her pretty picture!-is not
monarch in posse, but genuine mon
arches in esse; who has an undoubted
right, though she may not exercise it,
habitually to wear golden crown.
When she rides to hounds-with tine
West Chester hunt, for instance-she
may elect to use real sceptre for
riding whip: and nobody but her inn
perial husband may say her nay. And
it would gladden. the hearts of her
fellow-huntsmen if she did; and prob
ably would make the mercenary lives
of the bag foxes of Long Island come
to happier end. 1t is very delightful,
this prospect of having real empress
galloping around our land of freedom
and bravery; but let us not be unduly
pulled up by the glory that seems to
be in store for us until we are quite
sure that it really will be ours. 1t
would be pretty dismal piece of bust
ness if her hard-riding majesty should
turn out to be sort of imperial dead sea
apple after all.

The nut harvest was a joyful time to
them.
The young ere always attractive in a

ness of TIE eye-the satiny smoothness
of the complexion-the happy smiles
lowering around the rosy hps--each
has a beauty IN itself; but add to the

exquisite grace that Praxiteles might

can form an idea of Rika Brema-the
acknowledged beauty of the whole sur

rustic procession which had been got

eyes frightened suddenly and he turn

Prince Erio's beauty loving eyes had
been attracted by her ~ she had stood
amid group of other maidens looking
at the gayly-dressed columns of her
countrymen filing by. She, too, was
in holiday attire. and the black velvet,
jacket, fitted closely to her slender
figure, and adorned with silvergilt but

exquisite fairness of Eer skin, with its
rose-leaf tints of red upon lips and
cheeks, that she looked like being of
a different sphere rs she stood amid her
mates.

Crashed like hurricane.

Drove through the midst of the foe
Plunged up and down, to and iro,
Rode flashing blow upon blow,
Brave Inniskillings and Greys,
Whirlins their sabers in circles of light.
And seine OF us, Ell in amaze,
Who were held for awhile from the fight
And were only standing at gaze,
When the dark muffied Russian crowd
Folded its wings from the left and the right
And rolled them around like cloud
Oh mad for the charge ana the battle were we
When our own good red coats sank from sight
Like drops Of blood in dark gray soa
And we turned to each other, muttering all dis

Bat they rode like yictors and lords,
Through the forests of lances and sw ords
In the heart of the Russian hordes
They rode or they stood at bay
Struck with sword hand and slew
Down with the bride hand drew
The foe from the saddle, and threw
Under foot there in the fray
Ragged like storm or stood like n rock
In the wave of n stormy day;
Till suddenly, shock upon shock,
Staggered the mass from without;
For our men galloped up with cEeer and
shout
And the Russians surged and wavered, and
reeled
Up the hin, up the hill, up the hill, out of the
field,
Over the brow and away.

The charge Of the gallant Three Hundred, the
Heavy Brigade
Down the hill, down the bill, thousands OF aus
sians,
Thousands of horsemen drew to the yalley-and
stayed
For Scarlet and Scarlett's Three Hundred
were riding by
When the points of the Russian lances broke IN
on the sky;
And he called Left wheel into line" and they
wheeled and obeyed.
Then he looked at the host that had halted, he
knew not why,
And he turnsd half round and he bade his trum-
peter sound
To the char ge!D and he rode on ahead, as he
waved his blade
To the gallant Three Hundred, whose glory Will
never die,
Follow and up the hill"
Up the hill up the hill followed the Heavy Bril-
gade.
The trumpet, the gallop, the charge and the
might OF the fight
Down the HILL slowly, thousands of Russians
Drew to the valley, and halted at last on the
height
With a wing pushed out to the left, and wing
to the right.
But Scarlet wac far on ahead, and he dashed
up alone
Through the great gray slope OF men;
And he whirled his saber, he held his own
Like an Englisbman there and then.
And the three that were nearest him followed
with force
Wedged themselves in between horse and horse,
Fought for their lives in the narrow gap they had
made,
Four amid thousands; and up the bill, up TIE
Galloped the gallant Three Hundred, the Heafy
Brrade.
