better remedy is to encircle the trees
with metallic troughs, and have these
filled with crude petroleum. or
other cheap oil. The first cost of this
preventive is more than the former,
put it is more effectual, and one renewal
is often enough for season. Another
method, If the worms get ahead (and
some growers use it in preference to
ink or petroleum., is to syringe the
trees with mixture of one pound of
Paris green to one hundred gallons Of
water, just as the larvae are Matching

directed for Paris green is very effect

Mutton Lambs.

Stephen Powers says the raising ana
selling of mutton lambs is suicidal to
sheep raising. May be it is, but it
makes money for the men engaged in
it. They do not complain of hard
times, like wool growers do. If il
pays, it will be engaged in, and ought
to be. 1t is the leading industry in
many parts of Tennessee, Pennsylva-
MIA, Kentucky, New York and New
Jersey. Some Michigan and Ohio men
could thus keep from being
over stocked and squealing all
the time. 1t is one way
of diversifying sheep raising. 1t suits
some farmers and some regions to a
''t-y-t." Wool growing suits some
men and some regions, 80 all the
methods have their fitness. All the
lambs that go to market leave place
for the rest to fill profitably. Over
crowded flocks, poor sheep. old ewes,
weak lambs, mad fockmasters, dis
gusted sheep raisers. What sort Of
sheep raising shall we call it? If a
man strikes out in new line that pays,
shall we call him crank? See if it
pays frst.-Fdrna and Fireside.
