will eventually conquer. The best
scare yet made by man is tho use of
paris-green, and the best scare made
by the insect is the intoduction of the
apple maggot-one just about offsets
the other The insects have found no
way to avoid the poisonous effects of
the paris-grenn AID man has found no
way to destroy the maggot. who is yet
master of the situation and reigns SUI
preme in the orchard, selecting the
largest and sweetest apples, riddling
them from skin to core, without fear of
being molcsted by man. What the
next scare will be, or by which side,
time only will tell. We must make
the best use of what weapons we have
and exercise our highest wisdom to i'm
prove them.
When the squashes and cucumbers
open their two first leaves the little
striped bug is very sure to put in an ap-
pearancc, and sometimes will in sin
gle day completely destroy the young
plants. The remedy is, cover the drills
we'll with thoroughly air-slacked lime
as soon as the plants are up. Good
wood ashes will drive the bugs away
until it rains, then more ashes must be
sifted on or the bugs will come again.
Plaster is also good, but must be re-
| newed like the ashes, but whatever
remedy is used the work should be
done in season. The great danger of
| tins enemy is during the first few days
before the third leaf has grown. An.
| other enemy to the tender garden
plants appears as soon as the plants are
well above ground, which is Il gray
worm from three-fourths to an inch
and one-fourth long, usually known by
the name of cut worm, SO called from
above the ground. This is an enemy
not SO easily conquered. AS he works
in the night, only an experienced eye
will detect his hiding place during the
heat of the day, but very early in the
morning he will be found very near the
surface not far away from the plant he
cut off the night before. With knife
or sharp stick he may be dug out and
destroyed; this is slow work, but sure.
The black squash bug follows the cut
worm to lay her eggs on what few
sguash-plants have escaped all previous
enemies. This enemy can be easily
trapped by laying down an old shingle
by the side Of each hill; the bugs will
crawl under them for shelter; by daily
turning the shingles over the bugs can
be destroyed. If the peculiar odor that
comes from this bug could only be
made fashionable one our gardens
would soon be cleared of this enemy,
and the sickening odors of some of the
present perfumes supplanted with some-
thing better
