HEAVY TRIBUTE ON OUR PEACH CROP.

A heavy tribute is levied annually on
the peach crop of Delaware by the
curculio. The adult beutls lays the
sggs in the small fruits Just after the
blossoms fall. In few days the eggs
hatch and the little grub bores into
tho fruit. The peaches that are at
tackled when very small usually fall and
comprise large proportion of the
June Drop" while the fruits attacked
when half or more grown adhere to tina
trees as wormy and gummy fruits
Whenever the set of peaches ia light, as
it will he in parts OF Delaware this year,
it Is CT great economic Importance to
tho fruit grower to prevent the loRs
from the curculio, which often amount
to more than 30 per cont OF the total
setting. II the peaches that form on
the trees in southern Delaware this
spring arc saved from the cufculio,
there will still remain a good crop in
most sections of the State.
SThe only practical mems of destroy
ing tho curcrlio this spring Is to jar
than from the trees upon canvas and
kill them after they have fallen. The
canvas can lie stretched over light
frame, leaving slit on one side to
allow the tree to stand in the middle.
The tree is then Jared by quick
blow from q padded mallet, either on
the trunk or nam branches of the tree,
and the curculios are then swept from
the canvas and destroyed. 1t is hest to
jar early in the morning as the beetles
are then sluggish and fall readily. The
jarring should be continued every day
or two over period OF three weeks. or
until no more curculios are taken. In
some SEASONS the injury does not last
more than two weeks. The important
| points to observe are: lst, jar as soon
as the blossoms have fallen; I'd, destroy
the curculios that fall; Sd, continue
the iarring till the beetles disappear.
The curculin can be absolutely con-
trolled by the jarring method, which
is usual practice among the plum
growers. and many peach orchardists,
in Western New York. In New York.

PRACTICAL BENEFIT OF GOOD ROADS.


l. A. W. Bulletin and Good Eoads.
What is to DO done under conditions
that obtain in may parts of the country
10 the question raised 10y No. llS.3i3
lie gays:
We have in this township assessed
roughly at $3.50, 600 some GO miles of
road. We cannot spend $40, 600, 81, 600
or even $500 per mile on these roads
There is not enough money in the
township, all told, to do it, and the
law limits the bonded indebtedness.
To select few miles of the principal
highway 10 not just to the poor fellow
who helps pay for it ana must drive
five or ten miles to reach it.
IN UGH better work might be done
than we arc doing, hut it remnins that
many miles must be attended to with
few dollars. What most ia needed 10
careful consideration of existing con-
ditions-how best to spend $1,000 or
81. 500 on GO miles OF road, reserving
5000 or $500 of that for the winters
SHOWS. Teach us serviceable LESSONS
for communities of this sort, and do
not expect asphalt, macadam or steel
until the fellows from town help to
build them land they haven't built
their own yeti.
mo wonder the rustic kicks If the
road is to cost more than the entire
value OF all the farms through which it
passes. He appreciates good roads. but
must remember his slim pocketbook.
He laughs a little, too, at the big
saving heavier loads would make for
him. Nine out of ten of him at that
time of year have little to do for self or
team and are not crowded with what
| they have 10 market. He would rather
make two trips than one, IS he ana his
horses buth need the exercise. Z
The tendency in such cases as this is
| TO underestimate the beneficial effects
| OF hard roads, and to assume that they
are OF value only during the winter
| They are Of enormous value then, and
OF equally great value in summer, and
| the busy suasons, when the possibility
of hauling big loads is money in the
pocket :.
In tine past, the farmer has been left
| too much TO his own resources in the
care of the highways. Now. however,
Stats aid is rapidly being acknowl-
edged as the proper means Of pro-
noting the good work, and the States
| are slowly hut surely falling into line in
adopting it. Until it is generally in
force, there may be time for much good
| work To be done. and the first stens
toward real Improvement can be taker
by securing careful grading, thorough
drainage and the adoption of wide tires.
In this connection the experiences Of
two southern counties is right to the
point. In one, the loads average 2, 46t
pounds and the tax ia ten cents hun
dred. In the other the loads are bu
500 pounds and ths tax 90 cents hun
dred. Improved methods reduced tbs
road tax one-half, and greatly improved
the roads.
This county owns grader. plows
carts, implements and elk mules, ant
superintendent and five men are KEEP
at work on this roads. The work cost
S55. II mile and though the roads arr
only plain dirt" they are kept il
such good condition that three timel
as much can be hauled as on road
cared for in the old way. Here, surely
is cheap and easy way to begin.

WHAT OUR WAR POLICY SHOULD BE ?

Editor The Gazette: Now that war
is ON, our nolicy should be to disable
the Spanish feet That is the first
thing to do. Ii would be very unwise
for our feet TO attack Notifications ut
Havana or anywhere. for we might rs-
csiye great damage and then the
Spanish iieet fresh and well-supplied
would attack us at great advantage.
This is evidently what the Spanish
hope, and they are keeping their feet
back till we are damaged by storm or
III bombardment
1t would be very imprudent to land
troops in Cuba while the Spanish fleet
ia in existence, for il uur fleet should
be disabled the troops would be caught
in trap. The first thing to be done Is
to destroy the Spanish fleet il we can
do il, and then the rest will be easy.
If their feet is destroyed they can
hardly replace it. But IL our fleet
should be beaten we could soon build
another.
This case ia somewhat like the war
of the great Armada. This Spaniards
we're making long cruel war on the
Dutch, and the English would go over
and help the Dutch, though the two
countries were at peace. This finally
provoked the SpaniardH, till they built
a large fleet and sent it with thousands
Of troops aboard to capture England.
The English feet waited until the
Spaniards entered the English channel
and then, at once attacked them.
Though the English vessels were
smaller than the Spanish, they were
swiftsr and more easily handled, and
they battered the Spanish feet 30 that
the latter were glad to get away again.
Our policy should be the same-to
attack the Spanish feet and that only.
But We should not cross the ocean 10
seek them, and II they persist in stay
ing on that side there will not he much
of war. If the Spanish fleet should
come over to this side the policy should
bs to attack it with our whole force at
once. Monitor.

THE COLUMBUS OF THE SKIES.

Prof. T. j. j. See in the May Atlantic.
IIacaille has been justly called the
true Columbus of the southern skies,
says Prof. T. j. j. Sac. in the May
Atlantic. Born near Rheims in 1713,
and left destitute at an early age, he
was educated at the expense Of the
Duke of Bourbon; having acquired
proficiency in thsology, like Laplace
be abandoned that profession for the
study of science. and by the favor OF
Casini became one OF the surveyors of
the coast from Nantes to Bayonne, and
in 1739 took part in the reneasurement
of the French arc of the meridian. The
perfection with which this work was
done secured him admission to the
Academy of Sciences. and professor
shin ut tho College Mazarin, where he
worked energetically in small OBJ
aervatory fitted up for determining the
places Of the fixed stars. While oocu-
pied with this work he became inn
pressed with the need of good obserya-
tioua of the stars of the southern
hemisphere. Accordingly, he proposed
an expedition to the Cape Of Good
Hope, which was officially sanctioned
and carried out with marvellous rapidity
and SUCCESS. Landing in April, 1I5l,
at the Cape, which was then a msre
signal station for Indian vessels, he
secured location in the wild country
near the great Table Mountain, and in
IA months had observed the positions Of
nearly 10000 stars with degree OF
precieion never before attem pied in
that region of the heavens. The great
catalogue which he formed from these
observations was published in l763,
and reprinted in lS47, by the British
Association for the Advancement OF
Science, and unril within the last 20
years was the chief source of our
knowledge OF the southern hemisphere.

his shoulder. Justice Tyler committed
Brown to bail to await the action of the
