Rcaumer, more than $50 ears ago
made quite ext, nsive researches or
clothes moths; aud observing that they
never attacked the wool and hair on liv
ing animals, he inferred that the nstura
odor Of the wool, or of the oily matter in
1t, was dlstasteful to them. lie there
fore rubbed various garments with the
wool OF fresh pelts, and also wet other
garments with the water In which wool
has been washed, and found that they
were never attacked by moths. He also
experimental with tobacco smoke and
the odors of spirits of turpentine, and
found that both of these were destructive

the rooms very tightly closed, and keep
the fumes very drnse in them for twenty
four hours, to obtain satisfactory results
Mr. c. H. Fernald, Of the Hatch Expert

DANA'S SARSAPARILLA.

Grating is an old art not sufficiently
appreciated. By it any old fruit tree thai
10 healthy but unproductive can be soor
changed In Its character. Thousands OF
farmers don't know how to graft, though
1t Is easily learned.
As all insects are not enemies to fruit,
1t Is best to know what one Is doing be.
fore he destroys insects, hit or miss.
Some Insects are excellent friends of the
fruit grower, and this fact alone illus.
trates the Importance Of our education ia
the cultivation of the soil.
A fruit tree should never be proped up
to keep the limbs from breaking down
with their load. Instead, pick OF the
poorest specimens, and don't show greed
by allowing the tree to overbear. Thou
sands Of trees are ruined In this way.

loads as Insect Destroyers.

1t will pay every man who has a
garden to introduce as many toads as he
can get. Where toads abound, some
pieces OF board or oth,r rubbish should
be loosely laid as protection against their

be water where they can get It, No bet

1t is painful to learn that the last ex-
ample of pernicious activity in the line
of ruinous overproduction is presented
by the hens of the nation. Undeterred
by the great commercial industries en-
gagged in the selling of picked eggs at
thirty cents per dozen, the American
hens have been misled by the mild win
ter into turning out a supply of fresh
eggs that has knocked the picked and
artificial egg business into a condition
closely approximating panic. We have
not heard that any complaint Of this
state of affairs is made by the con.
sumers of eggs, but the proprietors OF
more antique stock are plainly convinced
that the interests of the nation will be
sadly injured if the public gets too cheap
and too fresh eggs. A movement to put
the hens into trust which will restrict
the industrious fowls to production of
two eggs per week is the obvious remedy
according to the economic policy of the
day.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
