THE PEAR nlpes,

The Damage Done by This Pest and the
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.
The pear midge is ono Of the insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
arc causing good deal of injury in the
eastern states.
Tie adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling diIninutiYe mosqui.
To- II makes its appearance very early
IN tho season before the pear blossoms
open. The female deposits her eggs in
nc later by piercing the petals or the
calyx. The midge larvae live on the
substance Of the pear tissue, destroying
the seed and checking the growth Of the
fruit which decays and drops in early
Fummor. Our illustration shows sound
young pear and one deformed By the pear
Lidge larvR.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact that
there is no period at which it Is within
IaGch Of ordinary insecticides, The eggs
lre laid i'll the bud before Ii opens, and
the young larvae get into tho heart of
the fruit before it is fully formed The
adult fly does not feed and l. hence be-
yond our reach. 1t is only after the in
july is done that the insect goes under
ground and within reach Of destructive
agencies
AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set and that
every infested or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
the following practice is recommended.
Cultivate as usual, or if the orchard
is In grass or clover pillow under after
June Is as soon as may be. Top dress
with kainit !, 200 pounds TO the acre to
benefit trees as well as to kill the in
sects. As soon as proper, say early in
August, sow crimson clover. This will
use up the potash not required by the
fruit trees and will store nitrogen as
we'll as occupy the ground. Early the
following spring turn this sod under as
deeply as may be proper. 1t should be
done before the pear buds are developed
in order to head off and destroy any
midges then i'll the pupa state near the
surface CT the soil. This practice is at
the same time the best for the benefit of
the orchard. st. Louis Post Dispatch.

The cars were running now to Oxford
from the North, and thither we leisurely
repaired, but only for short rest.
On the 18th of December we were
ordered out again with five days rations.
This time we took an easterly course,
travelling across the State to the Ohio q
Mobile Railroad. We met little or no
opposition on this long scout. Destroy
ing the bridges and trestlework on the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad for 80 or 40
miles, we returned safe, but tired as dogs,
for it was a ride Of 125 miles or more,
besides scouting and picketing our own
camp.
As we were returning through Pom
totoc we passed through the mounted
forces of Gen. Van Dorm going north,
bent on the same kind of work in the
rear of Gen. Grant. Had we known
his plans, and forced him into action
there, the results Of the campaign on
Vicksburg by the way Of Grenada might
have been different but our orders
were to avoid any risks. AS it was,
neither party seemed to court hostilities,
and We thought them very considerate
to let US alone after tearing up so much
of their railroad and destroying so much
Confederate property.
We had not returned from this trip
to Tupelo before Gen. Van Dorm APP
peared before Holly Springs and de-
manded its surrender. Col. Murphy,
with 800 or 800 men and one company
of cavalry, was holding the place, then
used as the base of supplies for Grants
troops below. Apprized of the danger,
Grant had telegraphed him to hold it at
all hazards and that help would be sent
at once; but instead of trying to defend
it, he surrendered without opposition
one company of the 9th Iii. Cav, it is
said, showing some fight contrary to his
orders. So fell Holly Springs, and with
it 100000 of Government property
and Grants plan Of the capture Of Vicks-
burg.
Not only were our supplies burned,
but three engines by which the supplies
were brought to the army were destroy |
ed. OF course, this stopped all opera
tions for the advance of the army on
this line. The troops withdrew from
below the Tallahatchie. The cavalry
was put on the chase for Van Dorm, the
infantry supporting and working their
Way back to Tennessee.
| was detailed in charge of train of
wagons going to Memphis. The train
was delivered at its destination without
