ON Bagging Grapes.

Bulletin No. of the Alabama expert
ment station devoted to grape culture,
says the principal enemies to the grape
are birds, insects, mildew and black rot.
The grapes may be protected from these
by covering the punches with paper bags
as soon as the berries are well set, at
cost of six-tenths of one cent
per pound. Except for extrs
large punches, the ordinary
two-pound bag Used by retail merchants
is used. These are slipped over the
bundles, the corners folded and pin ned
around the stem of the bunch. A boy
twlve years old can pin on 1900 per day
If the vines are properly trained on
the trellis. The bags cost $l.20
per thousand, and if carefully
removed from the ripe punches may be
used the second time. The bags are put
in packages of 500 each, and these i'll fir-
ties. Before opening these packages an
opening should be made in the bottom of
each bag by driving a sharp chisei
through the ENDS of the packages of If
ties. With one stroke OF the mallet the
openings are thus made in fifty bags.
The object of making this opening is to
allow the escape of any water that may
find access to the bags. A large number
OF bags have been used during the last
two seasons upon many varieties, and
the result has given perfect satisfaction.
But there must be no mistake about the
time of putting on the bags. If not put
on until the berries are pretty well grown
they will not protect against black rot,
though they may prove effectual enough
against birds and insects. To meet
every requirement they must, as above
stated, be put on so soon as the berries
have fairly set. Tests were made on
most of the varieties grown in Texas.
The punches came from the bags entirely
perfect in every respect. The expert
ment, made on pretty large scale, has
extended over two successive seasons.

The ok MARBLE.

This troublesome insect, the hypo-
derma bowls of entomologists, is too well
understood by cattlemen to leave in ex-
istence any need Of description. The
perfect insect il a two-winged fly, black
but banded with yellow, and measuring
near -fourths of an inch In length
It is quite commonly called CAD fly.
This fy deposits an egg somewhere along
the back of the animal, which in due
time matches out minute, legless grub I,
that at once burrows into the flesh. One
can tell when CAD ay is after his cattle
by their evinoed terror. They run in q
distracted kind of way, with tails
hoisted, unuslly making for the nearest
brushy cover, If there happens TO be
anything of that character in the neigh
borhood.
The grub, having secured footing in
the back OF the animal, remains and
grows until an inch in length, and to
about the size of q mans little finger,
when it undergoes its transformations
and comes forth fly, ready for starting
a new generation of MARBLES.
The OK warble is an insect of wide
range, being found In all parts of the
country It is very troublesome, as
animal carrying it falls of in flesh, and
the hide Is seriously damaged for the tanri
ner 3 use by the holes left in IL.
Many remedies have been proposeds
One is to grease the back of the animal
with lard, in which has been placed q
small quantity of earbolic acid. This is
to prevent the fly from depositiug its
eggs. When the grub has already Sc
cured a Judgment it is sometimes drawn
out through the opening reaching to it,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, April 24.-The
earthquake which was felt here this
morning was general in this section of
the state. The shock was very sharp IN
this city, but no serious damage was
done. Walls of houses, including the
United States appraisers building in
which the Federal courts are held, were
cracked, and there was considerable
alarm felt by persons who were aroused
from sleep. The most serious damage
ia reported from Paiaro, where the rail-
road bridge was thrown two feet
out of line and the approaches 10

at Gilroy and many chimneys thrown
down in the neighborhood of Wabonville.
In some localities as many as six shocks
