The Caterpi11ar.

No effort should oe spared to check
the destruction made by the vOraci0us
forest worm. There are indications
that they will be on hand this season in
even greater Numbers than last year.
AT Brandon a large maple was recent
cut down near the residence of eX-GOv.
Ormsbee, half the twigs of which were
surrounded with bands of eggs, each
band containing four dozen eggs. A
Montpelier exchange says:
people recalling the experiences of
last summer shudder at the prospect of
their renewal, with the probability of an
increase of many fold, during the sum-
mer that is close at hand. A suggestion
of what the plague may be is derived
from some twigS exhibited by a Calais
man, which he recently picked from the
top of a maple that had fallen down. En-
circling the spray of the branches-the
outer and and most delicate parts of the
tree-are the deposits of the eggs of the
caterpillar moth. These deposits were
everywhere present in the tree top, and
they are unquestionably omnipresent
among the other trees of the forest.
From these innumerable deposits of eggs
summer warmth will hatch out countless
broods of worms.
The maple sugar industry has I'M
doubtedly suffered much from the
ravages of this worm. The season
would have been poor one under or
binary circumstances but the assist
ance of the caterpillar has caused the
crop to fall far short of an average one.
Just how far the caterpillar is respOn-
sible for this is difficult to show. From
many places comes the report of the
loss of trees killed by these worms
and in some orchards half the trees
are destroyed. Manager Spencer of
the Vermont Sugar Makers Market at
Randolph has sent inquiries to half of
the leading sugar producers in Yer.
mont asking whether the trees in their
locality have been seriously damaged
by the worms. Half responded with
a simple mo" The other answers are
to the effect that some damage has
been done. The information thus OBJ
tanned would indicate that more dam
age had been done by them in Orange
and Windsor counties, and in south
western Vermont than IN other parts
of the state. Northern Vermont
knows almost nothing of the worm
pest as yet but it may work that way
this season. Kill the pest if you can.
The Waterbury, Conn, American
quotes the following remedy used by a
farmer on both maple and fruit trees ::
Every year | hear of caterpillars des-
troying whole orchards. There is moth
ing so easy to dispose of. l bore hole in
the tree deep enough to reach the sap,

and twig and the caterpillars disappear

With Farraput at Mobile.

There are probably only three Of
four men in the state who were ir
Farragut's fleet at the time of the bat
tie of Mobile where Dewey received
his first lesson in Drawing torpedoes
One of these men is O. b. Crosby OF
West Fairlee, who ran away from
home and enlisted in the navy from
the Brooklyn navy yard in Ayril, 1864,
shortly after joining Farragut's fleet
at Fortress Monroe. At the time of
the battle at Mobile he was on the
"Althea." 1t was while going through
the channel into the bay that Farra-
gut made his famous remark Oh
the torpedoes-go ahead" The fleet
did go ahead and captured everything
there was to capture. Shortly after
this battle, April II, 1865, the Althea
was blown up by a torpedo, The boat
went on orders to Fort Spanish in the
same bay to deliver message. In re-
turning it got out of the channel, went
over a torpedo and was blown to
pieces. Mr.. Crosby was on the hurri-
cane deck coiling rope up at the
time and Immediately made a voyage
into the air, twenty feet or more up,
though it seemed about 1000 to him.
He was taken out of the water by men
in a rescue boat, having suffered only
a slight flesh wound. Only three
men were lost. The torpedo struck
the boat about midway and he was
just a little forward. He was II years
old when he enlisted. On the 25th of
1865, Crosby was mustered out
at the Brooklyn navy yard.

A youth in Kunsan, Corea, recently
cut his hair to displease his parents.
The latter were so enraged and grieved
at this conduct that they looked upon
him as dead, and, calling in their rela-
tives and friends, went through the
ceremony for the dead, sacrifices were
offered, and wailing INDUCED in. The
lncorrlgible youth was stole specta-
tor through it all, sitting quietly by
himself, and when tired he made his
way to the dispensary of DR.. Drew
(trom whom the account is drawn) and
reported the progress of the services.
For month no notice was taken of the
boy by his parents other than giving
him his food. He has taken to wearing
foreign clothing.

Early Spraying.

Fruit trees are usually sprayed in the
summer.if at all; but the best authorities
are now unanimous in recommending
that these spray ings be preceded by an
application made in early spring before
the leaves start. This is primarily to
forestall the various fungi, scab blights
and molds. The two most important and
most common diseases thus met
with are the apple scab and the apple
canker. These discs and many others of
less Importance are best reached and
killed by spraying before the buds un-
fold. The best remedy for all fungOus
diseases is the Bordeaux mixture To
make this Stake four pounds of fresh
lime in forty gallons of water and add
six pounds of blue vitrol, taking care that
it dissolves fully. There are many in
sects which are best killed before the
leaves appear. This is particularly true
of the oyster shell bark louise. Apple
trees may be covered with small gray
scales, inconspicHous because their color
is so like that of the bark. They are
sucking the life out of your trees and
should be attended to at once. Give
them strong dose of whale oil soap,
made and sold for the purpose, using one
or even two pounds to the gallon of hot
water and applying while still hot. At
ter the foliage starts this must be used
weaker, one pound to five gallons of wa
ter. Kerosene emulsion is another eX-
cellent remedy for these scale insects
Ordinary poisons like paris green do not
affect them at all, The truest economy
in spraying is never to wait until an in
sect or disease becomes troublesome be-
fore fighting it but to get in ahead.

Dewey Day.

Monday was observed throughout
this country as Dewey Day. One year
ago but little was known about George
Dewey but that day, Sunday, May 1,
he electrified the world with his splen-
did victory in Manila bay and his
name was soon household world
Today there is no better known man
in the land. In this country he Is re-
spected and loved by all, the real great
hero of the Spanish war. The uni
versal observance of Monday in the
United States as Dewey Day is a tes-
timony that the people fully appre-
eiate the greatness of his work at Ma
Mia and are anxious to show him evil
dence of their appreciation.
A year ago last week Wednesday
Admiral Dewey sailed away from
Hong Kong with orders to destroy the
Spanish fleet under the command OF
Admiral Montojo. He had obtained
all the information he could concern
ing the defense of Manila and the
strength and location of the Spanish
feet. He had formed pretty clear
plans as to the movements Of his fleet
for the next few days, was confident
that he would sight the Philippines
Saturday and that the battle would
take place Sunday morning. Subse-
quent results proved that these plans
were very accurately carried out. He
was confident of winning victory.
The Navy Department was kept fully
informed concerning his movements
but was not called upon for specific
instructions as he preferred to trust
to his own judgement rather than to
those so far away from the scene of
action.
The victory May 1st was an over
whelming one. Every Spanish ship
was destroyed while ours were scarce
ly damaged. The Spanish loss of life
was great the American loss was
nothing. The victory placed George
Dewey, the Vermonter, in the list of
Uncle Sans naval heroes. His work
that day was we'll done but since then
he has proved himself not only a
fighter. commander of naval fleet,
but diplomat, able to deal with ques-
lions af state and in this capacity he
has been of valuable assistance to our
government perhaps saving it from
serious international entanglements.
Admiral Dewey is typical American
who places patriotism above ambition
and his fellow COuntrymen love to do
him honor.

War Notes.

The war with Spain is over, but the
battle of disease with health is still on.
Itlages hottest in spring. Disease, bred
during the rigors of winter, turks in the
system to do its deadly work. You do
not feel well. You have no appetite.
You are nervous. You have indiges-
ton, which you think is heart trouble.
You are dizzy, feel tired, discouraged,
and about ready to give up the battle.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Furnish the swine plenty of good
dry bedding.
Don't send diseased hogs to market.
1t is of no use.
Feeding ground grain is more eco
nomical than feeding whole grain,
Remember that if hogs bunch to-
gether they should be routed out.
Don't let the horses stand in hot ma
nure, unless you expect scratches.
Ice cold water taken into the stomach
of any animal retards its digestion.
When a colt is well broke it is worth
twice as much as one that is not well
broken.
When the hog is fat, sell it. Don't
waste good grain in waiting for bet
ter market.
Shred your corn fodder. 1t is econom-
ical as the animal will eat the whole
stock and save hay.
Soft coal in small quantities VII not
do hog any harm, or any good so far
as we know, we would say to an in
quirer.
Whatever anybody may say the cook
ing of food means the saving of food
and the more rapid fattening of the
animal
If any animal is fed dry, fattening
feed all winter it will be luck if it does
not become sick. Feed some roots, en-.
silage, or the bone and muscle form.
ing foods. A little oil meal is good
