: Crescent Curculio Mark.

Wherever a fruit is stung by the
curculio a crescent-shapedsm mark is left
that gradually deadens, the portion of
fruit Enclosed, SO that the sap will not
flow so freely. This deadening of the
fruit will extend to the stem and loosen
it's hold. Inside this crescent mark the
curculio egg will be found It used to
be supposed that the curculio could not,
lay its eggs without making this mark.
It does not at least, but the two opera
tions are entirely separate. Instinct
teaches the little trick to deaden. the
skin in order to stop the flow Of juices.
which might food and destroy the egg
she is about to lay. This deadening Of
the skin causes the fruit to ripen pre-
raaturely, SO that when the egg hatches
the worm has ripened instead Of green
fruit to feed upon. y s.; ];

Eg.imed BY q. white deposit from the 3explo-
sion, but, on clearing il with my palm,I
found we were heading north BY east, or still
going stern on toward the south. s3s5
So matters went till sunrise, the wind
growing fresher as the time sped, and at
last, while Ames and myself were putting
the cabin into some shape and tlx grl had
gone to overhaul the pack Of provisions, !.
heard her give : great cry, and rushed to
the deck to find its meaning.
It was no alarm. She was standing blythe
fore shrouds looking at the sudden trans
Nature. Often have seen the sun rise,
but never did it appear in such: . grandeur
Of pearl and grays. The glory Of it's com
ing was none the less for the lack Of vivid
co]oring. The fog had rolled off as rolls
curtain, and to the east and north lay piled
in towering masses ranging from thunder
ous blackness to the opalescent clearness Of
a seashell. Through its misty caverns shot
dazzling shafts Of sunshine, which wavered
and played over the face of the bank like
lights. Astern, clear as far as one could see,

summer waves glinting back, the strong
LIGHT from the east. To the west and over
our larboard beam stood out the green
heights of Staten island, and under their
shelter I marked two heavy ships of the
line, while toward Sandy Hook lay two
others with sails furled and at anchor
Gravesend bay also held one, mammoth,
which took tc be the Cerberus, but not a
ship was alert. No more were in sight, and
I marveled that we had run the gantlet of
the fleet, thinking, naturally, that most of
them had gone up the bay and must have
lain close to our track. Little knew that
the bulk of Lord Howe's fotilla had sailed
east the day before, and thus openeS the
path that otherwise would in all likelihood
have been blocked. But SO it was, and
later knew we had the French to thank for
having drawn them away. =
Doubtless we were marked by hundred
eyes On board those about, but the levia-
thans were powerless to harm us, their
very size and ponderosity shackling them
against quick action. Close aboard and on
our starboard beam lay the white sand spit
Of the lower island which goes far to make
New York harbor the haven it is, and once
past this wilderness of beach, now known as
Norton's Point, We would be on the sea.
With shout of relief almost delirious I
sprang forward and mastheaded both jib
and staysails, while Ames jumped for the
main sheet and drew it in. 1t was the first
inkling l had that he was anything of "a
sailor, and the knowledge was mighty well
come. Slowly we came about until the
schooner nosed into the west wind, and then
he ran to- the helm while I caught the
draught with the headsail to help her get
ting past the point of "irons;" then I be-
layed both jib and staysail sheets.
But of what use are these details? Enough
to tell that presently we were slipping east
ward and past the Dry Romer, the sails
swung wing-on wing, and an air, which
turned to a calm as we fed, pushing us
from over the taffrail and toward the rising
sun.

The Boiled Butter Business.

One of the worst and most insidious
enemies of good cream butter is
process or "boiled'' butter. When but
ter becomes so bad and rancid as to be
absolutely worthless for any purpose,
it is melted to its original oil, treated
with alkaloids, freed from volatile oil,
re-crystalized, and then churned with
sour milk to freshen it. This produces
a thoroughly renovated and it is
claimed wholesome butter with good
body which will easily show a butter
fat content of 80 per cent. From a
standpoint too of chemical analysis, it
cannot be considered adulterated nor
an imitation. The only protection the
producers of good fresh butter have is
to insist that this manufac ctured prod
uct shall be sold as renovated or boiled
butter.-Journ'sl Of ofAgriculture.

ROADS NEED REPAIRS


IsES xAo tnc staJG ~ preparing TO spend
nearly 5000 600 q year for road improve
ments. including the salary and ex-
penses of the commissioner and dep
uties, it is not only fit but absolutely
necessary that provision should be
made for keeping the roads so im-
proved in good condition. Experience
shows that many towns will not do this.
From carelessness or parsimony they
akow what has been made good road
to deteriorate from the moment the
original work was completed, and
nothing deteriorates much more
promptly than a neglected highway.
If the state has paid half or two-thirds
the cost of the improvements it has am
pie ground for requiring that the towns
it has aided shall use proper diligence
to retain and continue the benefits of
the states contribution. In this sense
the clause in this years bill which di-
rects the commissioner to see that
proper repairs are made from time to
time is the most important feature in
it. It is founded in both justice and
economy.
That the danger of neglect is no idle
fancy is known to all who have looked
into the results of road-building in
Connecticut thus far, but it is oppor-
tune to quote a few lines from the An
sonia Sentinel on the subject because
that excellent paper illustrates the po-
sltlon from the experience of it's own
baiiwick. 1t says: ''This will compel
the repairing of the roads which, ow;2g 2
to neglect and ineficiency, are fast be-
coming worthless, such as the road
in Ansonia and Derby, laid two or more
years ago."
Towns will have to remember that it
is one thing to build roads because they
can have half or two-thirds or three
quarters of the cost'paid by the state,
and quite another thing to undertake
the responsibility of creating and
maintaining good roads. The former
phrase has described the situation
thus far. Towns have been urged to
vote roads so as to get "their share of
the state appropriation" They could
buy road for half price or less, and so
they were ready to do it. But every
road builder knows that money so
spent is wasted unless a contin-
ual annual outlay follows it. You
might as well buy a steam en-
gine and try to run it without
constant care as to build good
| road and leave it alone. Under the
| old system some roads have been built
which would not have been touched il
the condition for proper maintenance
had accompanied the appropriation
No community which will not keep ur
it's roads after it gets them cares
enough about good roads to be helped
in obtaining them.-Hartford Times.

GERMS IN the Fore-Millk.

With regard to the number Of germs
present in the fore milk, Prof. Harrison
found that in the first few strains Of
milk removed from the teats they
varied from 18, 900 to 81, 900 per cubic
centimeter; while the numbers present
IN the remainder Of the milk amounted
to only from 800 to Z, 800 per cubic bic
