Early in June on the Atlantic coast
a somewhat hairy fly may be seen
flying, depositing eggs on young
onion plants near the roots.
These flies are OF an ash gray color,
with the head silvery and rusty
black stripe between the eyes. This
species Is distinguished by row OF
black spots along the middle of the
abdomen or hind body, which some
times run into each other, thus form
ing continuous stripe. This row of
spots is quite distinct in the male, but
in the female is very faint. The eggs
are white, smooth, somewhat oval in
outline and about one twehty-fifth of
an inch in length. Usually not more
than half n dozen are laid on a single
plant. The young maggot burrows
downward within the sheath, leaving
a streak of pale green to indicate its
path. The maggots reach their growth
in about two weeks, when they are
about one-third Of an inch long. white
and glossy, tapering from the pos.
terror end to the head, which is armed
with a pair of black, hook-like jaws.
The opposite end is cut on obliquely,
and has eight tooth-like projections
around the edge.
Scattering dry unleaehed wood ashes
over the plants as soon as they are
up, while wet with dew, and continu.
ing this once a week during the egg.
depositing season is, said to prevent
the deposit of eggs. Planting onions
in new place remote from where
they were previously grown has been
found useful, as the flies do moi
migrate far. Pulverized gas lime
scattered along between the rows has
been useful in keeping the flies away
also watering with liquid from pig
pens collected in tank When onions
show an attack by whiting and chang
ing color, they should be taken VI
and burned, or else diluted carbolit

on the infested plants to run dowI

The best soils for the Ieach are
light, well-drained sandy lo.uius, some
what elevated. On this coast these
are the soils most lacking in potash.
Peach trees require a great amount of
potash and will not remain healthy
and productive without it. Oak ashes
contain it largely. Itshould be saved
perfectly dry and sown broadcast in
the orchards just before the last light
spring rain. The family almanac will
tell you 20 when that is to come. One
other fertilizer the peach is greedy
for is nitrogen. The cheapest and
best supply Of nitrogen is found in the
commercial nitrate Of Soda Peaches
on high, dry, sandy or brown adobe
lands need plenty OF this salt. Ifused
to excess. it causes too much wood
and leaf growth withslittle fruit. Al
these fertilizers are found m stable

Mixed with Underground bones this

a Fig Tree Pest.

L The keeping out of new fruit pests
is fully as important as the discovery
of means to counteract those which
already infest our orchatds. The fig
tree has in California SO far been en-
tirely freef all injurious insects !;
but, from the discovery recently made
in New South Wales, our trees may
not always remain sd, unless the i'm
portation Of fig trees from Australia
is positively forbidden. Mr.. W. w.
Froggatt has recently reported upon
leaf beetle which has worked serious
damage to the fig trees in the gardens
of Sydney. He describes the beetle
as a chrysomelid closely allied to our
common imported elm leaf beetle,
which it closely resembles in its
method of work. The eggs are pale,
cylindrical in shape and are placed
on the under side of the leaves. The
larvae wnen first Matched are pale and
cylindrical and cluster close together
when ieeding, covering themselves
with fine particles Of dust from the
leaves. They become full grown in
fourteen days and then descend to the
surface Of the ground to transform tc
pupH under leaves and rubbish. Cal

Caring for the Sick.

Being one of two girls. says a writer
In the Boston Budget, and our mother
being quite ill recently. it was our
duty as well as our pleasure to wait
upon her. My sister being away day

great success IN making her comfort

and had been with her a short time.
mother would feel very much better.

the difference. For one thing. it was
loving attention and forethought.
have Just as much affection for our
mother, but had not thought enough
to show my affection when i'll. One
can wait on a sick person and think
she is doing all she can, yet there will
be something lacking. II hot cloths
are to be applied and replaced they
should be handled as though the
patient had not some infectious dis
ease. Dirty dishes, spoons. etc, need
not be left in the room. but can be
quietly removed without being asked
to do so.
Anything that can be done without
reference to the sick one should be
done. If it is the mother who is sicl
. no family discussions should be re
ferred to her, as is usual when she i:
well. This is good time for the chill
dren to practice relying on themselves
and not run to mother with eyerJ
