No farmer can afford to purchase
flour for his family or pork or potatoes
or apples or any of the necessaries or
luXuries of life that his farm will pro-
duce. The farmer, besides being a
producer, - is great consumer; and
it is important to him that he purchases
his goods at 'tirst cost which he
probably will not do if he does not raise
them.-N y Herald. : "

THE INSECTS.
The Winter the Time to Look after the
Eggs of Destructive Varieties.

NInter Time TO LOOK dIJer Jho
Eggs of Destructive Varieties.
When the fruit has been gathered in
the fall, there are hundreds who never
even notice their trees until the beauty
of the spring bloom attracts their atten-
ton; and when the insects begin to
prey upon the trees or fruit, they hus-
tie about often to little purpose. The
winter is the time to look after the eggs
of destructive insects. The trees should
be carefully examined, and the
insect eggs destroyed. The eggs
of the tent caterpillar will be found ce-
mented together in large numbers; be-
meath the outer bark, in little Sits, will
be found the tree hopper's eggs, and
upon the twigs of the last years
growth will be found the eggs of leaf
lice. These should all be destroyed
and if any of them that are on the
twigs are not to be destroyed by crush
ing, the twig should be cut off and
burned. The leaf crumplers, drop worms,
cocoons, etc, should be taken off; in
fact the trees should be cleaned. Old
trees that have been sadly neglected,
until they are covered with rough bark,
will often be benefited by scraping,
though as rule trees ought not to be
thus treated. If trees are washed after
the warm weather of spring begins, say
from the middle of May to the middle of
June, with a strong alkaline wash, they
xrriNh
bark, and the insects which find shelter
beneath such bark, will be avoided.
The tlat-headed apple tree borer espe.
cially will be met with q remedy. II
may be well to remark in this connec-
ton that if the soil, little of it, should
be removed from about the trees in the
spring, and sufficient lime or ashes
filled in to come little above the
surface about the tree, it will do great
deal toward preventing the depredations
of the round-headed apple tree borer.
This is q terrible pest in the orchards OF
the Northwest, and the trees ought al.
ways 10 be examined for borerS in Sep
TENDER, and the young borers-th6
larve-if they are found killed.
The flat-headed borer, to which refer
ence has been made, or its larvae, is not
only found in the trunk, but also at the
base of the larger branches, near sun
scalds, or wounds and at the base
of dead limbs. When they are found
on dscolorations of the bark, as they
will sometimes be found, they may be
removed by taking off a thin shaving
of the bark, and that should be done in
August or September. Sometimes the
Larvae penetrate deep into the wood,
and when that is the case we should not
advise cutting them out, The cutting
will do more harm to the tree than the
borers will. The fruit grower must
keep up steady warfare against in.
sects. A large part of the diff.
ference between fruit growing
now and fruit growing hall
a century ago is that there is now
determined search for insects, while
then no attention was paid to the orch,

the sILvEx CONVENTIONS.

According to the reports mus far re-
ceived Of the two Silver Conventions held
on Saturday last, one at Denver and the
other at Carson, the latter looks to us,
we are pleased to state, to have been the
more successful. The memorial drawn
up, which embodies a clear, careful and
intelligent statement and argument In
favor Of the silver interest, is doubtless
meant to be forwarded TO one OF our
representatives in Congress. the same to
be presented by him as the voice OF the
people Of Nevada on the all-important
Issue. The recommendations are sub
stantially Of the character OF the ems
bodiments Of the Bland Act, which is =
good one. As long as it remained I'M
assailed the silver producing States and
Territories prospered as they never pros
pered before. II it were enforced by a
friendly Administration. this country
could not produce a sufficient quantity
Of silver to meet its requirements, for
under il S4S. 600, 900 can be coined every
year; and it is we'll known that we did
not prodace within sl3. OO0,0 600 as much
in the year just ended.
From what we have been able to learn,
the Denver Convention is too largely rep
resented, both as regards numbers and
ideas. Its representatives are somewhat
Of a mixed class. being made up Of a
sprinkling Of cranks, a ~sprinkling Of
politicians and Of vast majority Of prac-
teal business men and miners. OF course
the popular orator is there in force.
We trust, though, the body viii be fruit
full Of the great results expected from it
by the conservative and true friends Of
silver.

ass IUprcrAL DISTRICT.

senator NJ. D. Foley has introduced
in the Legislature an act to redistr'cs the
State Of Nevada. prescribe the NUMBER
ga salaries Of District Judges, and nx
the places Of holding court. The idea 10
that the State Of Nevada shall constitute
one Judicial District; that there shall be
elected three Judges for said District;
that these three District Judges shall DC
elected by the qualified electors OF the
State at the next general election, and
that they shall hold Office for the term Oh
four wears; that the salary OF the judges
shall be 5000 . year, payable out OF
the State Treasury, as are the salaries OF
Judges Of the Supreme Court. and that
in addition to their salaries they shall be
eatitled to receive the necessary expenses
actually paid for travelling in going to n
from the place of holding court; that one
Judge must reside at Virginia City or
Carson: one at Reno or Winnemucca,
and one at Eureka or Austin, they to de.
eide the location among themselves.
Altogether. the bill appears to us a
good one. notwithstanding the salary
is high, the Act, should it become a law,
would save to the State some Sl6,0OO q
year. It would be well, though, to allow
each Judge a stated amount annually Tor
travelling expenses. Were this done, the
people would know just how much OF a
saving the Act as a law would save to
them, and Judges would know just what
to expect when elected.
Retrenchment is the order OF the day,
and as the law business of our State does
not require the present number OF DIS
trict Judges, we know Of no more plaus'
ible relief proposed than that embodied
in Mr.. Foley's bill. Would it not be
well TO pay each Of three the proposed
Judges S., 500, they to pay all their "
travelling expenses. Business principles
demand a clear and definite understand.
