Cauker Worms and Lager Beer.

On the under side OF almost any apple leai
to-day are half dozen little black lines
You can't see them without careful inspec
ton, but in week or so you will not be
able to see anything else. They spread al
over the tree as quickly as bad news spreads
over community, and they eat up the
leaves, kill the fruit, and burn the whole
tree over until it looks as II fire had visi
ted it. 1t will be but short time wheI
the most disgusting sight to be found viii
be the now beautiful apple orchards.
These nasty pests, the canker worms, are
now in their third successive year Of appear
ance. The story goes that they stay fol-
seven years and then disappear for sever
wears: but here it seems to be nearly al
ways some one of the seven years of thell
abundance. They are among the most dis
agreeable of all crawling objects. They
invade houses, go all over ones clothes, and
generally make themselves an utter nui-
sance when out of place, and when in place
at their appointed work they are still
worse.
In the time when hard cider was the
great drink, and apples ranked as neces-
sary preliminary to intoxlcation, the can
ker worm was unknown In New England.
Now, when lager beer has come into its
wide use and the apple is only desired as
an article of healthful diet, the canker
worm turns up in full force and the apple
is driven from the field. How fortunate
that the worm did not come until after the
absolute need for apples had passed by

cieties, aud such like, such as exists in this
and many other cities where people have
some ideas of beauty and the value of well
kept streets, homes and public places, to
improve the appearance of railway station
houses and grounds. The condition of
these grounds in this city is "a fair sample
of what may be seen all over the l. >
Few railroads think il worth their while 20
spend time on money on their country sta
tons. So long AS the station has any
make.shift of platform and passengers
and freight trucks can get 10 the depot,
enough has been particularly ifthere
is no competition of lines, Railway Sta
tons are the most desolate of all places In
"A town. The road seems to run through
the back door Of the place, with the station
as the dumping ground of all these back
doors The Englishman has II different.
Instead of the usually desolate appearance,
often increased by accumulations of old
ties and other railroad rubbish, the grounds
surrounding tie station house are laid out
and kept with all the care given to pri-
vate garden. This laudable example has
been followed by one or two American
roads. The Pennsylvania Central has made
beginning in this direction, and one of
the railroads running south from Philadel-
pha has for some years employed an eX-
perienced gardener to superintend the plant
ing and care of the grounds around its
numerous depOts, which is better than
leaving the matter to local agents, for the
work would be done for the future as well
as the present, and the beauty of railway
grounds would increase from year to year.
Another matter much regarded In Europe,
but little considered in this country, where
it is much more necessary, is the planting
of climbers around station buildings. The
passing traveller has but IA few minutes, at
most, to notice such Improvements, and
nothing is more striking than to see the
buildings draped with climbing vines. Be.
sides identifying the surroundings Of the
stations, in some parts Of France and Ger
many the sides of the railway embankments
have been turned to account by devoting
them to cultivation OF fruit trees Of various
kinds The entertainments on some Of the
roads In this country present large area,
which in time will produce something, US
ually crop of weeds II the embank-
ments are rot suited to fruit culture they
may generally be made useful by sowing
them to grass, which, besides keeping
down the weeds, would render good service
in binding the soil and preventing sudden
washOuts.

From Deer Park.

DEER PARK, June 5.-"Why don't we
hear any more from Jumbe." has been
asked so much of late, He thought best
TO make an effort TO drop few lines this
morning In answer to the above question.
Jumbo has not been sleeping but rather
busy, and Deer Park has been quiet and
no news Of any consequence. A couple of
weddings which passed off quietly. Yes,
so quietly that Jumbo has not been able to
learn of the grooms' names, but believes
one set went to Nebraska and the other 70
Pennsylvania.
Crops look good. The cold, wet spell
has started the weeds on corn ground bu,
they do no harm yet. Small grain Is doing
finely.
Eaton and McOmber who took a ride
some three weeks ago to Livingston coun
ty, and yesterday were through most of the
same country, report an Improvement in

farmed left on account Of being too wet
