ORCHARD CATERPILLAR,
The vast numbers of these caterpillars,
in many parts of the country, admonish
orchardists to destroy them before they
make such progress again as they have the
present year. Some apple trees have been
entirely stripped of leaves, not onlyrender
ing a crop iniposusible, bat Checking the
growth of the tre,e.at the most important
period of the itlitt; and' refedering'it liable
to injury by winter, and retard its vigor in
future. It is not too soon now to com
mence the destruction of the eggs which
have been recently placed upon the young
t w igs. As they are usually on the project
ing shoots near the outside of the tree, the
practiced eye will quickly detect their pre
sewn, and a single clip of a pair of orchard
shears placed on the end of a pole, and
worked with a cord, will bring them to
the ground. .This is much easier than the
more laborious and more uncertain process
of brushing, swabbing, winding, thrashing,
pounding, ' and crushing after the cater
pillars are half or wholly grown, for no in
dividual escapes when the little ring ,of
eggs is taken off entire. In the antumii,
after the leaves are fallen,viss around again
and clip out the remainder. By going
through the orchard at least two or three
times, there is lass chance for any 'accident
ally hidden rings to escape. .A cloudy day
should be selected, so that , the :light may
not dazzle or injure the eye; and after
some practice, it is surprising With what
quickness any one may . detect these rings
on the twigs by aslance. over the apple
tree. Cherry, pear, and other trees should
be examined in the' same Way. -A careful
atte.tion to these instructions any time
before the coming spring will completely
clear orchards of this pest, and the owner
will have the satisfaction as he passes the
trees, of seeing them full of healthy foliage,
without the annoyance of witnessing these
huge nests on denuded branches.— Country
Gentleman.
BREAD FOR THE BONES.
Bread andlutter arelhe only articles of
food of 7 which we never tire, froth` early
childhood to extreme old age. A pound of
fine flour or Indian meal contains three times
as much meat as one pound of butohees
roast beef; and, it 4 the *hale' prodtict ityt
grain, bran and all, were made into bread,
fifteen per cent. more of nutriment would
be added. Unfortunately; the bran, the
coarsest part, is thrown away; ,the very
part which gives soundness to the teeth
and strength to the brain. Five hundred
pounds of flour gives to the body thirty
pounds of bony element, while the Same
quantity of bran gives more than one hun
dred and twenty-five pounds. This bone
is lime—the phosphate of lime--the indis
pensable element of health -to 'the whOle
human body, from the want of the natural
supply of which multitudes of persons go
into a general decline. But swallowing
phosphates, in the shape of powders,,or in
syrups, to cure these declines, has little or
no effect. The articles contained in these
phosphates must pass , .through nature's
labortary ; must be subject to her manipu
).bionb iu alembies specially .prepttrea-.11.y
Almighty power sad skill, in order to im
part their peculiar virtues to the human
frame. In plainer phrase, the shortest,
safest, and most infallible method of giving
strength to the body, bone and brain,
thereby arresting disease, and building up
the constitution, is to eat and digest more
bread made out of the whole grain, whether
of wheat, corn, rye or oats:—BalF s Journal
of Health. • - 2
TREATMENT OF YOUNG STOCK,
Calves and lambs well treated will make
better cows and sheep than if neglected
and allowed to shirk for themselves. We
know that sheep improve a good deal both
in wool and mutton on good keepin The
same is especially the case with' calves.
What you want is not to fatten, but to keep
up a strong healthy growth. At.,this sea
son, gOod tender grass and a little - Milk, no
matter if it is not all sweet, and, a little
oatmeal mixed in, will pay for itself in-tte
thrifty growth which it will inducer A
little extra care at this period of growth is
sure to' be rewarded'_ t a latee - age. The
treatment of calves, 'Which we have often
seen, such as turning them out to grass
before they are old enough, and requiring
them to eat what they know little about, or
die, is cruel and wasteful in the extreme.
There is no economy in neglecting young
stock. They may live through it, but
nature will demand her reckonin g . The
same may be said of colts. Sweet, pure'
pasture grass is the best,but if this is short,
a little oatmeal is excellent for them. Oats
make muscle rapidly, and this gives
strength and power and growth, and this
8 what all young stock' needs to thrive
upon. It is a great mistake, to keep any
stock short of feed, but especially young
:rowing stock.—Plotoman.
NATIVE ' VS. IMPORTED CATTLE.
"B." thus writes to the Delioare County
merican :—"I have been waiting a lull in

there to prevent our raising from se ec e
stock of this class, a new,'or rather an im
proved, breed suited in all repents to our
climate, the roughly American, just as
much as the Durhams, Jerseys, Herefords
are English?
"The usual plan practiced by most of our
farmers, indiscriminately raising calves for
future profit for cows or bulls, has given us
a mongrel breed of no particular value ;
but were a different course pursued, and
were we as careful es the stock breeders of
other countries, T see no reason why we
should not have as ood, milkers and as good
feeders as . Durhams or any other class of
fanny cattle:,
* Of one thing I am sure, that is, If more
discrimination ia used -in breeding, we can
improve our - nettle very much, even if we
do not equal the foreign breeds.
every farmer therefore select from.
his heid and the herds of others, the very
best calves from the very best cows, to raise,
and let the butchers have the others. By
pursuing this course for three or four years,
he will certainly se'e a marked improvement
in his stock. Not only with cattle, but
with sheep, pigs, and everything else. Am
I not right ?"
CARE IN SAVING SEED.
It may not be generally known that seed
saved from oneumbers, melons, squashes,
etc., growing close tnthe root of the plant,
is more valuable than seed,saved from that
grown midway, or near r the ends of the

It receives the.' neatest and fullest supply,
of life-force from the roots. In its looked
up germs are written more emphatically
the original qualities and charactetistics of
its parent fruit. The principle applies to
all forms of vegetation. Seed sown from
lateral branches soonest deteriorates., Cab,
bage seed saved from stumps is worthless.
The seed selected from the central stock
shooting up through the head is premium,
and none else The J./incise nearest the
earth on the stalk, the tomatoes nearest the

thinly grown is,preferable. The best seed ;

HOW 'TO. KEEP ICE,
Those persons_ who have no refrigerator
for keeping ice may wrap a large Lpiece of
lee in a flannel sheet, or any large' woolen
cloth, or `dry blanket,-and put it in a large
box, or tub, with the butter-plate on one
side, the cream-pail on the other side, and
the, water-pitcher containing water and a
Smell piece of ice on another side. — The
writer has often kept a piece, of ice weigh
ing. only 'a. feividunds tore MOTES* t - than :two
days in this manner.- .When a small piece
is.required for making ice water, the flannel
may be laid back on one side, when several
fragments maybe'removed with a sharp
chisel and hammer, and the ilpaixteLurrappqd
_uround it again. The piece of ice, after it
is enclosed in the flannel, should be laid on
pieces of clean wood, to keep it out of the
water, as water will melt it rapidly. When
the flannel becomes saturated with water,
run it through the wringer and dry it, as
' dry cloth is a much poorer conductor of .
heat than when it is wet. A. wash-tub and
a , olean flannel sheet, when only one or two
persons require ice -water, will subserve the
purpose*. a refrigerator, - costing, fifty dol
lars, and very little of the ice will be wasted
if the flannel be kept nearly dry
While we are writing on sthis subject, it
is proper te say that a water-pitcher, en=
closed with , a flannel sack, two or three
thicknesses, add apiece laid loosely over the
top, will keep the water cold and save the
ice several hours longer than when no flan
nel is applied to it. Water-jugs, when
carried into the field, if put into a sack,
will keep the drink cool a long time;
whereas, if no flannel is applied, the drink
will shortly become as warm as the sur
rounding air, and often unfit to drink.—

THE ATIATIC TELEGRAPH. EigEDI

The London _Mies of Jtine 28 in an
artiele'salke exieditunr says'
" AWlligflinal'arrangementEi for the sail
of-tiis-grent mechanical and- - Eicientific
expedition were settled on Tuesday. The
great ship is now receiving her last length'
of cable from the Iris, and the coiling of
this and the final closing of the tank, to,
secure it from accidental injury, will be'
completed by to-day. The directors and a
few invited guests then pay a farewell visit,
and after that none will be allowed on board
any of the vessels of the wire squadron,
save the it.presentatives of the press and
those actually connected with the work of
testing and laying the cable. Every part
of the Great Eastern hae now been got into
the most perfect order. The machinery by
which, in less than four 'minutes, her pad
dles can be disconnected and made to work
independently of each other, has been tried
and found to answer admirably, and this
improvement i 3 of the last importance in
.keeping the ship on the same spot while,
engaged in hauling up the cable laid last
summer.
It was then attempted to p a very'
powerful • wrought iron' guard over the
screw,,so that in backing astern with full
power thee should not be the least risk of
the screw fouling the cable. For this pur
pose the great Ship was trimmed down by
the head considerably, in ,order to bring
her stern well out of water. After a while,
however, it was wisely decided not to affix
'snoh a guard, and those who remember the

iihinnedwrisrTe — ms fro - iilifittlie Aga
memnon was exposed in the storm of 1858
by a similar apparatus will not be sorry to
hear that the Great Eastern will sail with
out one this time. On all vessels where it
has been tried it has never been of • the
slightest use, and always a source of more or
less serious apprehension. In backing over
the cable, therefore, the Great Eastern
will use her paddles only. The floats of
these latter have been reduced by about-a
third of their width, and reefed in toward
the axle, so as virtually to reduce thew to
a third of their diameter. This diminution
of both surface .and size will,'of coursei
have a very material, effect on the, ( Foil%

4' Some old lengtbs of last year's cable
have been stowed away onboard the 4..fba
ny and Medway. The Irish shore end' is
coiled 'on board the William Corry, which
ship will leave with the Great. Eastern.
We much underrated the strength of this
latter pobderous coil in a previous notice.
The limit of its breaking strain has never
been ascertained, but it is enormous. The.
outer covering is formed of wires, or rather
iron bars, almost as ' thick as ordinary
pokers, and it weighs upwards of twenty
tow} to the mile—nearly double the size
and strength of the larrrest submarine tele
graph ever made. The ships which , are

coal While the William Corry is laying the
shore end from under the cliffs at Va
lentia.
" This labor over, the splice will be
made, and the Great Eastern will com
mence her 4vork. For the first 100 miles
froin shore, the new cable will be used, hilt
down the gentle' incline, into deep watei,
known in deep-sea nomenclature as the
Irish bank, 300 miles of the cable of last
Aar will be used, and for the rest of the
route to Newfoundland, the new cable only
will be employed. The entire voyage out;
if no accident'occur, is expected to occupy'
'not more than ten days. There i 8 t'obe an
important alteiation in the plan of electri ; ,
cal operations this year. The expeditions ,
of 1858 and 1865 proved, what is now' well
understood by engineers, that .there is no
difficulty'in merely laying a wife rope across
the Atlantic, but to, lay such a rope with
an insulated telegraph, conductor in its in-'
terier, without damaging its integrity, has
hitherto proved impracticable. This year,
as we have said, great improvements have
been made in the plan and , apparatus for
testing the electrical condition , of the line.
The 'Telegraph Construction and Mainte
nance Company have secured the prefs
sional services of those eminent electri
cians, Prof. William , Thomson and Mr._
Cromwell Varley, who are now the consult
ing electricians,ot that company.
"Last year the tests for determining the
condition—of-faultaTutrd -- -afar ttre - atebo g ch
of earth currents, were performed on board
ship. This year actual tests will' be-matie
at both ends of the cable, and a continuous
exchange of the results will be telegraphed
from one to the other, the information
which the shore can give the ship being of
the highest importance to enable those on
board ship to find out the position of a
fault 'accurately and rapidly should any un
fortunately occur. The principal batteries,
used`for testing will be on board ship, and
the shore will have to read off and decipher
these indications without any other access
to the battery than what is afforded through
the .cable.
"Such information will be exchanged
almost hourly through the cable as will
enable those on the shore to.know not only
the position of the Great Eastern, and the
amount of cable paid oqt, but also the elec
tric condition of the cable, and the approxi
mate distance of faults, should any unfor
tunately be discovered. It is worthy of
remark, that during the, manufacture of
the 1860 cable, and its being coiled cn
the Great Eastern, several faults occurred.
This year,,there has not beim a single one,
which is a good omen of success for this'
great enterprise. Messrs. Thomson and
Verley will remain some time at each end
of the line after it has been laid, to work
the cable' with their new apparatus, known
as the curb key. The beat system of elec
tric testing that has been brought into.
.actual use, or even planned, cannot show
within less than a mile the position of a;
fault,' consisting of a very slight loss of
insulation, unless both ends of the cable be
at hand. Whatever the character of the:
flaw. may be, unless the electric tests de
inonstrate its Position to, be remote from they
outgoing part, the ,only thing that can be
done to find whether it be just on board or
just overboard, is, to cut the exble as ne
the outgoing part as the mechanical circum
stances will permit.
" The electric test immediately trans
ferred to the fresh-cat seaward end will in-,
dicate, instantly if the insulation be , perfect.
between it and the shore. r A ; few minutes;
mere, and the tests applied tothe two ends,
'of the remainder on board will, show very ;
closely the position of the• fault, whatever i
its character may be. The engineers will
then be able to make proper arrangeMents
immediately for respheing and paying out
.good gable, and for cutting •out the fault, from
-the imperfect part. But if this fault; occurs
between, the land end and: the fresh-oni
seaward end on board -ship,' proper siniul-1
mucous tests on board ship and on shore
must be empleyed to ascertain Whether the
_fault lies so, pear tbe vessel, as to,u4l4s:i ,
