BUFFALO TREE HOPPER.

The Insect Pest Which Attacks and De-
stroys Fruit Trees.
I send specimens of apple affected with some
insect. Has the insect any thing to DO with the
blighted parti Some orchards are badly al
fected
Specimens of tae work of the same
insect have also been received from
others with the statement that ''the
scars are found entirely on one and two
years growth and on apple, crab, pear,
willow and currant wood. The wood
Immediately under each cut seems to
be dead, and some limbs that seem to
have been attacked last year are dead
and black in the center into the heart
of the tree. The insect is the Buffalo
tree hopper (Ceresa bubalus). In addi-
ton to the plants above mentioned it
may be said that maple trees are af-
feeted in like manner. The direct in
jury is the result Of puncturing the
bark for the deposition of which eggs
can be found by cutting away small
slice. The insect which lays these is a

triangular green bug with sharp spines
at the front of the body, and may be
found quite plentiful in autumn, at
which time the eggs are laid. Rene
dies are difficult to apply, as the
insect occurs on such variety
of trees. and at the time the
damage is done is not likely to be
noticed at all. On valuable trees it
could doubtless be destroyed if sprayed
with kerosene emulsion when deposit
ing eggs. but it would be necessary to
keep careful watch to attack it at the
proper time, and this must necessarily
be before egg deposition has fairly com
menced to be effective. In spring the
infested twigs could be cut off and
burned and thus reduce the coming
brood; but when the insects have been
abundant this would involve very severe
pruning, and if other trees were plenty
in the vicinity it could be but partially
effective. Where young orchards are
isolated from other timber it might
prove an advantage. 1t might also be
of advantage in young orchards to spray
the trees thoroughly with kerosene
emulsion shortly after the eggs have
Matched, as the young hoppers would
then be easily killed, and the foliage
not being so dense as later in the season
would leave them more exposed to the
spray. The blighted portions of the
twigs do not seem to depend upon this
insect, though it may in some cases
kill the twig ttacked.-Orange Judd

WHY BEES WORK AT DARK.
1t Is Because the Honey Would Crystalline
If Made in the Light.

1t Is Because the Honey Would Crystalline
If Made In the Light.
Bees work at night in the hive and
build comb as perfectly as if an electric
light shone there all the time. 1t has
often been asked why they prefer to
work in the dark. Everyone knows
that honey is liquid with no solid sug-
ar in it. After standing it gradually as
sumes crystalline appearance, or gran
ulates and ultimately becomes a solid
mass. 1t is stated that this change is
due to the same agent which alters
the molecular arrangements of the TO-
dine of silver on the excited collodion
plate and determines the formation of
camphor and iodine crystals in bottles.
Honey has been eXperimentally in
closed in well-corlxed TASKS, some of
which were kept in perfect darkness
while the others were exposed to the
light. The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon became crys-
talliZed while that kept in the dark re-
mained unchanged. Hence we see why
the bees are so careful to obscure the
glass windows which are placed in
their hives The existence of the young
depends on the liquidity of the sacchar-
inc food presented to them, and if light
were allowed access to this it would, in
all probability, prove fatal to the in
mate of the hive.-Pearson's Weekly.

FASHIONABLE ODDITIES.

Fancy Trifes Seen in jewelers. Showcases.
The silver-mounted penwipers are
really too pretty to use.
Fleur-de-lis clamps of sterling silver
are intended for cravat clasps.
The season begins for small silver
bound scoring books with pencils at
tached.
The silver mounted blOtter has now a
hollow inside which is divided into re-
ceptacles for stamps, pens and rubber.
Charms of dead beaten gold in the
shape of running horses, crouching
lions and stays heads seem to be popu-
lar with men.
No man need want a prettier nor
band for his keys which is carved with
rich repoussc work.
Tiny crystal vases with rims of per-
forated silver gilt and held in cups OF
perforated silver gilt on metal stands,
are dainty and pretty.
AS the game of golf promises to be-
come the next fashion in athletics, it is
pertinent to say that match holders,
charms and silver articles are now
modelled in England after the balls and
clubs of the season.
There isa notable tendency in jcwelry
to tapering forms, followed out and set
with graduated stones or pearls. Spears
of grass or wheat are instances but
frequently they simulate nothing, the
tapering form being merely an attrac-
tive way of using small stones. In
rings with overlapping ends this style
is popular, also in hoop earrings
There is the greatest ingenuity in
silver-plated photograph frames The
idea is to adapt the frame for possible
pictures. A girl in a yachting dress is
placed in standing frame made of
silver ropes in parallel bars, silver an
chors in the corners, silver hat and
crossed oars as center ornaments The
photograph of rural maid is frame
work of silver bars spanned by swal'
lows. Another frame stimulates thatch
with climbing roses and beehive
against the wall. Circular.

EY8 q FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EXCLUSIVE corn feeding often causes
leg weakness with young poultry.
FLOWERS can be grown on all kinds of
soil, and every farmhouse should be or
namented with flowers of some kind
of different varieties and including all
colors.
If eggs are to be kept long time
after they are laid it is best to put them
in cool place and as near the freezing
point as possible without freezing them.
This will prevent any progress toward
incubation.
Do NOT depend on the pasture pro-
viding a full supply of food for the
steers and young stock. All kinds of
stock should have mess of oats at
night, while milch COWS should be fed
both morning and night.
THE wrinlSled pess should always be
selected in place of those that are
full and round, as they are sweeter and
more melting when cooked. Plant peas
at intervals of two weeks in order tu
have them in succession.
IT will be loss of seed to plant ten
der varieties too early. Such crops as
string beans, squash, cucumbers and
lima beans will not grow until the
ground has become we'll warmed so as
to insure quick termination.
CAMPHoR trees are being distributed
in this country by the agricultural de-
partment, and as the trees seem to be
becoming domesticated it is believed
that camphor will yet be produced in
this country in paying quantities.

The IiIh md Tucker.

The fashionable woman is bestowshg
considerable attention these days upon
her best bib and tucker. 1t is marvellous
what vanity is to be found in these soft,
fluffy fronts which are worn with every
conceivable costume, The long bibs are
made Of lace, chiffon or nousseline dc
sole Of every hue. Daffodil, pale-blue,
biight-scarlct and white bibs are great
ly sought. They are worn with the
most masculine of double breasted
coats, Eton jackets and other mannish
garments, and by some strange whin
of fashion, do not detract from the con-
yeptionally severe type, bit lend it a
dainty and feminine charm. An effective
bodice is of the Directoire cut, very
short tight-ftting in front, with short
habit effect in the back. The abrupt
finish of the bodice across the front is
not becoming save to slim figures. But
here again comes in the wisdom of the
bib and tucker and the loose, si,ken
front relieves the severity in welcome
manner Surahs, glaces and foulards
will be generally used for blouse fronts.
They are tucked, finished with frills
falling in cascades, and, under the
jaunty blazer, give the desired effect of

TWENTY GOOD RULES.
How TO Destroy Lice ON Chicks and rid
the Poultry House of Them.

How 20 Destroy Licc ON Chicks and RID
the Poultry House of Them.
1. When chicks droop and appear
sick without cause. especially IN SUM-
mer. look for lice mot the little red
mites, but the large, gray body lice) on
the heads and necks.
2. If you find them use few drops
of grease of any kind. A teaspoonful
of oil of pcnnyroyal to cupful of lard
Is excellent
s. Look under the wings for the red
lice, but use only few drops of the
lard.
4. Never grease the bodies of the
chicks unless lightly, as grease will
often kill them.
s. Never use kerosene on chicks, un-
less it be a teaspoonful of kerosene to
teacupful of lard, as it is irritating
o. Crude petroleum is always excel
lent and serves as liniment, but mix
it with twice its quantity of lard
Z. Keep the dust bath always ready.
Use dry dirt or sifted coal ashes. Add
carbonate of lime, Persian insect pow
der or oil of pennyroyal to the dirt.
8. To rid the house of lice, sprinkle
coal-oil verywhere-hoor, walls, roosts,
yards, roof, inside and outside, and re-
peat often.
o. Dust insect powder in the feathers,
and be sure it is fresh and good.
10. Put insect powder and tobacco
dust in the nests. Clean them out every
week
II. Even when no lice may be pres
ent, use the sprinkler of kerosene at
least once a week. and keep the :oost
always saturated.
~. No matter how clean things may
appear, look for the large lice on the
heads, throats and vents.
13. Lice abound both in winter and
summer, but more especially in sum
lner.
IA. One-half the chicks and young
turkeys die from lice. Chicks or tur-
keys with hens, or turkey hens, always
have lice (either the mites or large
ones).
15 Carbolate of lime is the cheapest
powder to use for dusting over the floor
and walls.
16. Always aim to get the solutions or
powders into the cracks and crevices.
II. The easiest and best way to
whitewash is with a force pump. They
are now made to force water from q
bucket.
1s. When your chicks have bowel dis
ease, look for the big lice.
10. No mites need be present where
plenty of coal-oil and carbolic acid are
used.
20. Lice means work. Repeat these
precautions and remedies frequently

Manures THAT Arc useless.

There are legions of farmers who do
not realize the fact that they use tons
of manure which is useless to plants
until late in the season, for no manure
can be appropriated by plants until it
Is decomposed in the manure heap or
after it has been applied On the field,
There may be portions of the manure
soluble, especially if the urine has been
saved and absorbed, but it may require
two or three years for the whole of the
manure to change its form, and as much
depends also on the composition of the
manure as on the fertilizers, for the
manure heap is composed only of what
the farmer has made it, the kind of
food used and the ages of his stock,
while the manner in which the manure
is kept largely affects its value.

A WATsRY GRAVE.
The Pathetic Scene Enacted on an Oakland
Ferryboat.


Ferryboat.
A pale young woman dressed in deep
mourning paying her tribute to the
memory of loved one by casting a
cluster of forgetme-nots into the bay
is sight that has for several days past
occasioned considerable speculation
among the passengers on the ferry
steamer Newark on her noon trip to
this CITY,
The woman was first noticed by the
ferry employees about a month ago. 1t
is her custom to board the upper deck
of the steamer and take seat at the
stern rail bench on the starboard side.
In her hand she carries bunch of flow
ers, which she treats with AZ much de-
votion and tenderness as If 1t were an
object of priceless value that, once lost,
could not be replaced.
Once seated near the rail, her gaze
resting upon the water and buried in
thought, she appears to be utterly lost
to her surroundings. 1t is while rest
ing in posture that exhibits all the
grace and charm of budding woman
hood that ones eye instinctively scans
her form and features, and speculations
as to her identity are excited. She has
| petite but well rounded figure, her
face is delicate1y chiseled, the features
regular and full of expression, and her
eyes are dark, but with far-away,
| dreamy look in them that reminds one
Of the Madonna. Who she is is a mys-
terry, but her mission has been surmised.
1t is when the boat passes Goat Island
that the young woman seems to awake
from the lethargy into which she has
fallen and, as if drawn by a magnet
whose attraction she is unable to resist,
she rises and steps to the rail, bouquet
in hand. She looks over the side with
bewildered expression, and, selecting
the most favorable spot for the purpose,
she raises her arm and casts the bon
quet into the bay. She stands with
both hands upon the rail and watches
the flowers sink beneath the surface
and as they rise again and are washed
away by the heavy current she mutters
some words, sighs and walks rapidly
into the cabin, where she selects a re
tired seat and communes with hersel
until the mole is reached. Then she de
scends to the lower deck and and is los
to view in the crowd.
"That woman is casting flowers upor
her lovers grave" said one of the of
ficers of the boat to group of passen
gers who had witnessed the proceeding:
few days ago. "One of my men heart
her say one day as she cast the bouque
over: oh, George! Oh, George" My
theory is that she was engaged to some
young fellow who jumped into the ba!
and was drowned some months ago. IL
respect to his memory she now decor
ates his grave, as it were. 1t is ccrtainl.
touching procedure, and who know
how this woman is sutfering?'-Sal

There mas been considerable inquiry
with regard to fastening cattle while
