A Hint for 0rchardists.

In nearly every agricultural paper

the above. for the benefit of the JoC!

orchards last summer for the destrrc-
ion of the canker worms and which
can as easily be used to rid tue tree

her worms, | allowed them to get thc
start OF me and to nearly ruin the or
chard for the summer. As soon as !

green spray on it. Fearing an injury
TO The foliage | did not at first use 1t
strong enough and had to go over the
trees second time when | used q mix -
ture of the same strength (say a large
heaping teaSpoonful for a pail of wa

tato bug) That killed the worms and
without injury to the trees either. On
some of the trees there We're cateTpi.-

nearly full grown and probably re

he returned home, where he remained
until his enlistment in the Union army
