THE FOREST WORM.
Hard to Fight and Very Destructi'
 to Forest and Fruit Trees.

Hard to Fight and Very Destructive
 to Forest and Fruit Trees.
 The terrible invasion of forest worms into central New York has given us an immense amount of extra work when the battle has been fought out. writes New England Homestead cor respondent. But am sorry to say the fight has gone by default in favor of the worms in the majority of orchards. The mischief was increased by the pres ence in full numbers of the tent cater pillar. This can be easily disposed of with fire, but the forest worms make no nests. They eat over a wide range and eat clean. They travel from tree to tree, and when you think them sub dued they turn up in double force else- where. They first appear on plum, then on apple, trees. But the battle to clean these trees was hardly on when they were found to be all over the naples. The leaves soon looked like bits of rags dangling from the limbs. The army could be heard all night.
 We killed with torch, with arsenical spray, with kerosene spraying But paris green does little good, and kero- sene must be used cautiously. found 1t necessary to go over all trees with mittens soaked in kerosene and crush the worms. They lay in great masses on the limbs at noon. In this way by half dozen repeated killings my grounds were kept nearly free of mis- chief. Suddenly found that they had gone around and were coming in on the other side. They had already terribly defoliated my street naples. We climbed and fought with gloves again and again.
 This I have learned-that the worms will not touch the Norway naples nor Weirs' cut leaved maple, and, as q rule. they avoid the soft naples. They do not attack catalpa or English elms or persimmon or papaw and dislike the pear and cherry. They attack furi- ously apple, quince, plum, maple. elm, ash and oak trees. They will invade a raspberry patch if not watched, but do not eat the blackberry or strawberry. The sweet cherries they much prefer to the sour. I conclude from my observa- tions of all sorts of insects that the Norway maple is our best street tree as well as the grandest lawn tree in exist- ence. When the worm entered my rasp- berries, we resorted to hand picking every morning. My crops are safe, but there are not few who have lost all their apples. It will very decidedly re- duce the apple output for central New York.

The price of iron is steadily going up. This fact may greatly help the iron business in this locality. Salis- bury iron is certainly as fine as the finest, and now that iron begins to be worth more, it may be profitable to start some of the idle furnaces in this vicinity.

 The trough, shown in the illustra- tion. is made of sheet iron. Ip it he puts a supply of pine tar, which is heated over fire to boiling heat. The wheel is then jacked up, the trough placed under it and the wheel lowered so that the tar will cover the felloes. The wheel is then slowly turned in the tar, which fills every nick and crevice in the wood and between the wood and tire. thus making it impervious to moisture or air. With brush the hub is also treated with coat of tar. and if the wagon is old the spokes also in lieu of paint.
