rhe spraying of fruit trees for the destruction
of insects is yearly receiving more and more
attention. AS its utility can no longer be ques
toned, and as the season is fast approaching
when the work should be done. we daem it not
inappropriate to discuss the subject somewhat.
The great enemy of the apple orchard is the
codling-moth larvae These are propogated by
little miller which deposits its eggs in the
blossom end of the apple Its appearance in
early summer is governed by the season. but it
may be confidently expected when the apples
are just set and the blossoms have entirely
dried up. The codling moth flies at night and
visits the small apples-never the fiowers-and
deposits one egg only in the calyx of the embryo
| fruit. In few days the eggs hatch and the lit
tie worm. the merest mite. con- mences to eat its
way into the fruit. at this stage of the growth
of the apple. tEe calyx is upward and the poi
soned water applied through a fine spraying
nozzie.-and no other should be used-is sure to
drop into the upturned cup of the fruit, and
| when the worms commence to eat, it is to their
death. The spray ing should not be done while
the tree is in blossom. First. because it will be
some time before the worm will be present and
an in evening rain would wash away the poi
son. Second. because the presence Of the poison
| would be death to the honey bees and other in.
sects which help very largely in the fertilization
of the fruit. 10 be most effectual the sprayine
should be done once in 10 days after the frs
application, until the fruit tips and turns tn;
calyx down. Should heavS rains Immediately
follow the spraJ ing, it may be necessary to re
peat more frequently.
The plum curculio may also be held in checl
| by the poisoned water. These insects hegil
their depradations soon as the fruit is set
and continue until the middle or last of July
Thus it would seem to be necessary to spray tn
fruit at intervals from the time the blossom
falls until the latter period. Please note: In n
case do either of these insects infest the flower
to their hurt nor would it be of the slightest US
. to spray the fruit trees while the blossoms, i
e any stage, remained. It will at least be SAT
g not to pasture the orchard with any Kind
stock after spraying the trees until heav
r rain has fallen. We know that some hold ths

Causes of Death.

Shakespeare says, "Men have died apd
worms have eaten them, but not for love-"
Some one else says very few men die of age
Death is the result of disappointment, per-
sonal, mental or bodily toll, or accident.
We often see the strong man cut down
suddenly, and the invalid living his four
score years and ten. The fact is that the
strong man uses up his strength, and the
weak one nurses the little given him.
The passions certainly shorten life, aud
sometimes suddenly end it. "Choked" !"
will passion is very often not an exaggera-
ton. The lower animals which live tenn
perate lives have their prescribed term of
years The horse lives twenty-five years,
the OK fifteen or twenty, the hog ten or
twelve, the rabbit eight or nine, the guinea
pix six or seven. The numbers all bear
proportion to the time the animal takes to
grow its full size Man is the only animal
that seldom comes up to the average. He
ought to live one hundred years, according
to the physiological law, for five times
twenty are one hundred, but be scarcely
reaches an average of four times the grow
ing period To sum it all up, man is the
most hard working and laborious of ami
mails, also the most irregular and intemper-
ate. He is irritable, and often wears out,
or is consumed by the fire of his own re
Elections.
