Strawberry Crown Borer.

The beetles are incapable of fight,
having no functional wings, and are
thus dependent for lJcomotion on the
usual three pairs of legs. These they
use with no great facility, and as the
grub lacks legs all together, the species
as may be supposed, does not migrate
readily from infested beds. There is
little danger of the borer getting among
plants on new bed as long as plants
for new beds have not been obtained
from infested ones. Grubs and pupa
spend all their lives in the crowns of
plants, being found there from the mid
die of June till late in September.
Plants removed from infested beds
during this time are therefore liable to
convey the borers to loo alities to which
such plants may be transferred. Those
who have had experience with the bor-
ers have found that care with regard to
selecting plants and ground for new
beds was their best means of avoiding
injury. No fear need be entertained
of the borers seriously attacking other
crops which may be grown on infested
land, and there is every probability
that one season of corn or potatoes
would rid the land of them. No prac-
ticable method of using insecticides
against the crown-bearer is known.

Butter from Cocoanuts.

Cocoanut butter is a new food stuff.
which seems to have a useful future
before it. According 10 a report by
the British vice-consul at Berlin. the
production of an edible fat from the
marrow of the cocoanut has been car
ried on for the last two years by a
firm at Mannheim. the process having
been discovered three years before by
DR.. Schlinck. Factories having the
same object are about to be establish
ed at Paris and at Amsterdam. The
nuts come from the South Sea islands
and also from certain places on the
African and South American coasts.
The butter. which is sold at less than
half the price of ordinary butter in
London. contains from 60 to 20 per
cent of fat and % to Is per cent of or
ganic matter. Its color is white; it is
of an agreeable taste, is suitable for
cooking purposes. and is being pur-
chased by the poor, who prefer it to
margarine. Being free from acid, it
digests with greater ease than dairy
butter, and is preferable in other WAYS
to the bad butter which too often finds
its way to market. 1t is also a more
attractive compound than the various
preparations called margarine, some OF
which have such very questionable orr

Protect the Fruit from Frost.

The fruit bloom of all kinds was
never fuller, in this section, than now.
The unusual warm weather has forced
it out too early we fear, and we rec
ommend that precautions be taken to
pre- yent the disastrous effects of frost.
We give our own plan for this purpose.
Near the middle of our plum and pear
orchard we have pit foot or more
deep, and about four feet in diameter,
and have it filed with chips and other
rubbish. When the signal service re-
ports, or the falling of the mercury in
our thermometer indicates frost, we
shall set fire to the pile, and after it is
well started, shall partly smother it
with earth and thus keep a column Of
smoke and heated air rising through
the night. The effect is to start the air
in the vicinity into motion, and thus
prevent the frost from taking effect on
the young fruit. We recommend
others to try the plan. Unless the
frost is very heavy, amountinf to a
freeze, we think it will prove effectual'

Farm Notes

Turpentine put in the drinking
water of poultry is said to prevent
gapes.
1t is said that the guineas running
among chickens will guard them from
hawks.
A peach orchard requires about the
same cultivation as corn. No grass
should ever grow in the peach orchard.
Do not be afraid to use wood ashes
on any kind of fruit crop. Lime is
also beneficial on light sandy soils for
fruits.
Animals which do not show profit
after paying for good care and good
keeping. should at once be removed
for their betters.
No matter what ails the fowl, sick
bird should at once be removed to sep
arate quarters from the well ones. 1t
is precaution that always pays.
With very fast horse it is desirable
to cautiously accustome him to the
sound and feel of the whip lightly
across him so as not to hurt him at all.
Plant more green peas, so as to have
a succession. Peas may be had on the
table until quite late in the summer if
crops are planted two weeks apart.
Corn-meal mixed with boiling-hot
sweet skinned milk gives the flesh of
chickens a fine flavor and white clear
look, which adds to the market value.
Give the onion bed good top dress
ing of wood ashes, and hoe or rake
them well into the soil at the first cul-
tivation. A secret of success in onion
culture is to get good early start.
Carrots make very palatable and
valuable food, especially for colts, and
with ground adapted to them, it pays
to grow a few bushels as an appetizer

quent and thorough cultivation until
the growth of the tops prevent further
working. 1t is not enough to plant
well and fertilize well, but the cultiva-
ton must be equally as good.
Turkeys are excellent fowls for rails
ing, but they require peculiar care to
prevent them stealing their nests out
and wandering off. Cold and damp
ness are death to young turkeys. They
are hearty eaters and need good start
to grow.
Any vice noticed at the time of train
ing the colts should be firmly but kind
ly suppressed. Any ungain,y or vic
ious habits will be noticed by buyers
and so lessen the price, besides proving
unpleasant or dangerous before the
horse is sold.
Cut away the limbs of cherry trees
that are attacked with black knot, and

A Word About SPRAYING.

Unless heavy rain should follow
the first spraying of apple trees with
Paris green solution it is not necessary
to repeat the operation if the first one
has been properly done. With a good
force pump the spray may be thrown
upon the tree in such way as to lodge
a little of the poison on the blossom
end of every apple, where it is needed.
Not more than onl pound of poison to
200 gallons of water should be used, and
the two should be kept thoroughly
mixed in order to accomplish the in
tended object. The spraying of various
copper solutions for the saving of fruit
crops is now a recognized necessity,
and an apparatus of some kind for do
ing it easily and well is an essential
part of the equipment of every fruit
grower.
1t should always be remembered,
however, that while necessary oper-
alton, spraying with copper solutions
Is a dangerous one, unless great care is
exercised by the operator. These solu-
lions are strong poisons, even in the
proportion used for spraying, and who
ever does the work should be careful to
keep on the windward side of the trees,
so that he will be in no danger of in
haling the poisonous spray. The pack
age of poison should also be kept in
secure place, under lock and key if pos
sible.

The Full Opinion.

Our morning neighbor, under the old
saying better late than never at last
consents to do tardy justice TO our late
grand jury. 1t is true il has never given
the full report, as presented to the court,
of its immense work under very trying
circumstances, but on Sunday morning it
gave its readers the "Opinion In full text
of the court of appeals in the matter Of
their appeal from The unhea ard of before,
and their unwarranted arrest, and it gra-
ciously admits that 1T was a case with
two sides to weigh" Any one that reads
the opinion can readily see that the side
of the grand jury, also had the side Of law
and justice with them on the balance: so
when Judge King attempted to pull it
down, he struck the ceiling like feather,
as II shot out of a catapult; there was no
side of him left. Any consolation to Judge
King or his very few friends from that
