To Protect Trees from Borers.

Last year, says the Rural New
Yorker, we briefly alluded to the
simple method employed by our
neighbor Augustus j. Hewlett, to
protect his apple and peach trees
against the borer. 1t has lied to so
many inquiries that it may be well
perhaps to speak of the method more
in detail. Fruit growers all know
that tarred paper about the trunk is
harmful to it. Laths, etc, tied about
the trunks are not altogether salts
factory. Mr.. Hewlett's mode reduces
the labor and expense to a minimum
and seems thoroughly efficacious, as
he has practiced it for over 20 years.
White lead and raw linseed are
mixed as for ordinary outside paint
ing, though somewhat smaller pro-
portion of the lead suffices. With
this mix enough cheap mineral paint
and lamp black to initiate closely the
color of the bark. The young trees
should be painted in the spring just as
soon as transplanted and every year
thereafter in early May. The paint
is applied from little below the
soil to a foot above. In four or five
years the bark will peel off after the
paint has been applied. When this
eXcoriation occurs, if before July, it
is best to remove what bark still
clings and at once give another
coating of the paint. The new bark
underneath will be found bright and
healthy, showing that the paint does
no harm. Mr.. Hewlett painted
some apple trees every spring for 10
years or more. The painting was
discontinued for several years, as. he
thought there might be no occasion
for further painting. These trees,
however, were at once attacked by
borers, and several were found six
inches above the entrance. Peach
trees are painted in the same way.
He has never had a tree injured by
borers if they were regularly painted.
The editor of the Rural New-York-
er adds that Mr.. Hewlett is a careful,
conservative farmer and his state
ments may be accepted as fully trust
worthy.

"How many sheets in quire?"
"Twenty-four," answered the
dealer gravely.

as the youth went out, "that a boy
in the high school can be ignorant of
such simple thing?"
"They don't teach those things at

are too easy. If our young people
learn them at all, it must be athome.

OBSERVER PURssELL yesterday re-
ceived a letter from the chief signal Office
at Washington, which says: I'm reply to
your letter of the 3Oth ult., on the subject
of extending the weather predictions to
include Wyoming Territory, | am directed
by the chief signal officer to say that the
indications officer of this service is now
burthened with all that he can
iently perform, and it is not deemed best
to extend his duties at present. In view
OF the fact that cold wave predictions are
already made for the territory, and cold
wave signals displayed at Cheyenne, it is
believed that this will answer immediate
requirements, especially as temperature
changes and conditions are of particular
importance to hat section of country
1t will therefore be seen that odd
Probs' has declined to go into the predic-
ton business for Wyoming, n~otwithstand-
ing that all the facilities to supply the
necessary data are ready to hand. We
hope sufficient pressure may soon be
brought to bear on Gen. Greedy to induce
him to reconsider this resolution, as Wy
oming is too big a scope of ountry to be
entirely lost in the weather shuttle.

They Got the Pig.

Speaking of the toll gate near the
pool, which was the last on the old Bos-
ton and Albany line to be torn down, re-
calls TO memory an amusing incident
which old DIR. Shaw, its keeper, used to
relate.
Shaw used to travel with an old ven
triloquist by the name Of Potter some
years before he began to tend tho gate,
and he was n pretty clever magician, the
doctor was, so the two hitched up well
together.
Well, the story goes that Potter and
Shaw were riding in Reub' Underwood's
coach over the Monson and Southbridge
line, and the vehicle was crowded with
passengers who considered themselves
pretty high toned folks, and / guess they
really were.
At any rate when the stage arrived
at Southbridge they all got out and went
into the tavern there to fpt dinner. The
party sat down at the table and Potter,
the ventriloquist, who was n stranger to
all excepting Shaw, came in after taking
n sip of 'toddy" and sat down also at the
Same table. A roast pig was brought in
on q platter by the servant and set upon
the table, and just after one member of
the party had finished saying grace and
began carving the pig, it squealed ter
rifically, and the majority of the mem
bers of the party not knowing that
Potter was n ventriloquist, as / said,
thought for n moment that tho pig was
alive, and after s%creeching and scream
ing, the carver simultaneously throwing
his knife and fork across the dining
room, got up and left the table, leaving
Potter and Shaw to finish the pig

"Poor mani"


Most people are aware that Gen. w. T.
Sherman is a resident of New York, and
that he is one of the most t~ireless of
theatre goers. He is n first nighter, and
usually a conspicuous figure on IN aisle
seat or in a proscenium box. A pecu-
liarity of the generals is that he seems to
forget hat any one besides himself is in
the theatre. He talks to his companion
about the people on tho stage in a tone of
voice easily audible up In the balcony.
He coughs, clears his throat, blows his
nose with a sound like q steam whistle,
and actually bellows out his remarks
without regard of his surroundings. The
other night at one of the fashionable
houses he broke in upon n perfectly 81
lent bit Of stage action, which was being
worked out by a young actress, with the
s~tentorian praise of:
shes going to make an actress"
Everybody near him stared and then
laughed. The general did not appear to
be aware he had been heard, coughed,
blew his nose audibly, and then settled
back into his big collar with n loud grunt
Of utter contentment. At that theatre,
where everybody knows the old warrior,
