bring great returns in money, but it is
certain to do so in family health and

OF course the object of this application
is to prevent the laying of the. eggs from

The soap and carbolic acid wash can
also be sue ,essfully used in freeing trees
infested with the apple tree bark .ouse,
whose presence is detected by the pres
ence of minute oyster shell shaped scales
on the bark of the limbs. If one of
these scales be raised early in spring
there will be found beneath it mass of
yellowish or whitsh eggs, which hatch
about the middle OF May into small lice,
which appear as mere specks to the
naked eye These move about over the
bark few days, when they fix them
selves upon it, inserting their tiny beaks
far enough to reach the sap. Here they
continue to increase in size, and by the
end Of the season have secreted scaly
coverings. As has been ment oned above
the soap wash recommended for the pre-
vcntion of borers also effectually de-
stroys this pest The mode and time of
application for the two kinds of insects
is the same.

Uninflammable Wood.

At the instance of the Belgian Min
lister of Public Works, Messrs. Goudin
and Donny have investigated the sub
ject of rendering wood fre-proof.
They report that the resistance of
wood to heat may be considerably in
creased, though absolute incombusti-
bility can not be secured. The resist
ing material must take the form of an
injection into the fibers of the wood or
of Coating; and it must be not too ex-
pensive, non-eorrosive, speedy in be-
coming fixed. easily applied. neat and
unalterable. An injection of con-
centrated solution of phosphate of
ammonia is recommended as the best
treatment for small pieces of wood;

OLEO KNOCKED OUT.

The United States Supreme Court Sustain
4sthe Validity of the PEnnsylvania Cleo
margarine Law.
VI AsHINGToN, April 9.-In the Supreme
Court this morning Judge Harlan rem
dered an opinion in the case of Wm L.
Powell VS.. the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, on an appeal from the Supreme
Court of that State, affirming the decision
of the State courts. This is the cele-
brated Oleomargarine case, which has
come up through the different Pennsylva-
MIA courts. The case was made by agree
ment between the representatives of the
oleomargarine interest, to test the State
law prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of imitation butter.
The Supreme Court holds that it
can not consider the testimony introduced
as to the wholesomeness of the product,
as the Legislature of Pennsylvania en-
acted the law presumably after a fair ex-
animation into these facts. Whether the
manufacture of oleOmargerine may be
conducted in such way as to battle ordi-
nary inspection, or whether it involves
such danger to public health as to require
its suppression, are questions belonging
to the legislative department to deter
mine, and the legislative determination is
conclusive upon the courts. The argu
ment that to sustain the statute would
leave nothing in the way Of the
destruction by the Legislative department
of the constitutional guarantees of liberty
and property is basel on mere con-
lecture. The objection that the statute is
repugnant to the clause of the fourteenth
amendment forbidding denial by the State
to any person within its jurisdiction OF
the equal protection of the laws is un-
tenable The statute applies to all alike.
The decision of the lower court is af-
firmed.
Justice Field presented q dissenting
opinion.
The decision sustains the statutes of the
State of Pennsylvania, which make it un
lawful for any person to manufacture,
sell or offer for sale any butter or cheese,
or article designed to take the place of
those articles produced from any COM
pound other than unadulterated milk or
cream.
