Fighting Injurious Insects.

Professor a. J. Cook, of the Michigan
Agricultua al College, tells when not to
use Paris green: II would never use
Paris green on fruit that is to be used
within a few days from the time the
poison is applied. Thus l would never
use it to fence out the currant slug
Neither would l use these arsen-
ties on cabbages. Certainly not after
the head has formed, for the very
formation of the vegetable makes
such use dangerous Again, no one
should ever use or handle these sub
stances with the bare, unprotected hand
especially is this caution necessary in
case of any abrasion of the skin. Neg
lect of this caution resulted in the death
of very talented young horticulturist
of Indiana some years since. am free
to say-and 1 have probably handled
these poisOns as much as any one in the
country-tnat reasonable caution makes
their use perfectly safe.
In using these arsenites to DESTROY the
codling moth larva, we at the same time
kill the canker worms, the several species
of leaf rollers that often fairly dig out
the buds in early spring and are very de-
structive; the Old American tent cater
pillar that taunts his tent in the Or
chardIst's fa"e Just as the leaves are put
ting out in May, and thus in using this
remedy we are killing not simply two,
but several birds with one stone.

Rendering Timber Durable

In bulletin issued from the Forestry
Division of the Agricultural Department
at Washington occurs the following ad-
vice:
Early winter telling (December) has
the preference. Always remove the bark
from felled TENDER to aid seasoning, but
not from the standing tree. If winter
felled, shape the timber to size within a
fortnight after telling and have it placed
on blocks, away from sun and rain as
much as possible, as it ought not to dry
too rapidly. Sufficiently thorough sea-
soning for most purposes is obtained in
from twelve to eighteen months, while
for special work, according to the size,
from two 10 ten years is required.
When timber is cut in the leaf it is
advantageous to let the trees lie full
length until the leaves are thoroughly
Withered 1.-TWO or three weeks before
cutting to size With conifers this is
good practice at any season, and if it
can be done, all winter-felled trees
should be left lying to leaf out in spring,
by which most of the sap is worked out
and evapOrated.
The best method of obtaining proper
seasoning without costly apparatus in
shorter time is to immerse the prepared
timber in water, from one to three
weeks, to dissolve the fermentable mat
ter nearest the surface. This is best
done by running water-if such is not at
hand, a bath may be substituted, the
water of which needs frequent change.
Timber so treated, like raft timber, will
season more quickly and is known to be
more durable.
If practicable the application of boil
ing water or steam is an advantage in
teaching out the sap.
Never apply paint or any other coat
ing to green or unseasoned timber. If
the wood is not we'll dried or seasoned,
the coat will only hasten decay.
Good coatings consist OF oily or resin
Gus substances, which make a smooth
coat, capable of being uniformly applied;
they must cover every part, must not
crack, and possess a certain amount of
Elasticity after drying. Coal-tar, with
or without sand or plaster or pitch,
especially if mixed with oil of turpen-
tine and applied hot thus penetrating
more deeply, answers best. A mixture
of three parts coal tar and one part clean,
unsalted grease, to prevent the tar from
drying until 1t has had time to fiji the
minute pores, is recommended. One
barrel Of coal-tar will cover 300 posts
Wood-tar is not serviceable because it
does not dry.
Oil paints are next in value. Boiled
Iinseed oil or any other drying vege-
table-nOt animal-oils are used with
lead or any other body dixie pulverized
charcoaD to give substance. Immersion
in crude petroleum is also recon-
mended.
Charring Of those parts which come
into contact with the ground can be con-
sidered only as an imperfect preserva-
tive, unless a considerable layer of char
coal is formed, and if it is not carefully
done the effect is often detrimental, as
the process both weakens the timber and
produces cracks, thus exposing the in
terrier to ferments.

Celery.

Mr.. Falconer, in Ga7'den ami F6ret,
says that he winters his celery on warm,
sunny slope. The celery IS in single
rows and the trenches are as deep as the
celery is long, the plants being packed
up close against each other. Four Of
these rows. each nine inches distant from
the other, are formed into a. ridge IN or
der to lead Off the surface the rains of
winter; and to further keep them dry in
winter, he covers them with boards He
also uses salt hay and forest tree leaves
to exclude hard frost from the ground.
The celery keeps in this way in these
trenches till the spring thaws set in
then it is lifted out, all decaying matter
cut of and it is buried again, but this
time above ground, with earth between
the plants and shutters over them Gel
cry in plenty was kept in this way up
till the eth of May.
For celery to lie used after the hOIi-
days, the rows should be only three feet
apart, because the late crop should not
be unearthed except to ''handle'' it be-
fore it is packed in trenches to keep
through the winter. Do not bank celery
all at one time, but use little Judgment.
Celery banked up in August whitens in
three or four weeks; that banked up in
September in four to six weeks; but that
banked up in October will not whiten be-
fore New Years, if then.
Never handle" bank or store celery
when it is wet or damp, else rust or rot
may overtake it. Celery to be used be-
fore Christmas should be banked in Sep
TENDER, but avoid banking or handling
late winter celery before the beginning
of October. September and October
are the best growing months for celery.
