The Plum Weevil, or Curculio.
M e make the following extract from the re
port of Mr. TOWXSKXD GI.UVKR OU the curculio,
which will be published in the forthcoming re
port of the Patent Ofliee :
" The plum weevil, or curculio, ( rhynchccnus
nenuphar ,) is one of the most destructive in
sects that the horticulturist has to fear, not to
plums alone, but to cherries, nectar nes and
apples, which are indiscriminately attacked;
aad in the more Southern States peaches also
suffer much from the larvae of a weevill of this
kind, of similar habits and shape, if not iden
tically the same. The perfect curculio is about
two tenths of an inch in length, of a dark
browu color, with a spot of yellowish white on
the hind part of each wing-case. The head i>
furnished with a long curved snout or bill, with
which it is enabled to bore into the unripe fruit
by means of jaws placed at the end of this bill.
•• Hie wing-cases, which are ridged, uneven,
and humped, cover two transparent wings, by
which the perfect weevil is enabled to fly from
tree to tree, but when these wing-cases are closed
the back appears without any suture or divis
ion, which has led to the very erroneous idea
among farmers that the insect cannot fly.—
A\ hen disturbed, or shaken front the tree, it is
so similar in appearance to a dried bud that it
can scarcely be distingushed, especially when
feigning death, which it always does when
alarmed. As soon as the plums are of the size
of peas the weevil commences the work of
destruction by making a semi-circular cut
through the skin with her long curved snout,
in the fljicx of which curve she deposits a single
egg. She then goes to another plum, which is
treated in a similar manner, until she has ex
hausted her whole stock of eggs. The grubs,
which are hatched by the lit'at of the sun,
immediately eat their way to the stone in an
oblique direction, where they remain gnawing
the interior until the fruit is weakened and
diseased, and by this treatment falls l'rom the
tree.
" The grub, which is a small, yellowish, foot
less, white maggot, then leaves the fallen fruit,
enters the earth, changes into a pupa, aad in
the first brood comes to the surface again, in
about three weeks, as a perfect weevil, to pro
pagate its species and destroy more fruit. It
has not yet been decided whether the latest gen
eration of the weevil remains in the ground all
winter iu the grub, or in the pnpa state. Dr.
E. Sanborn, of Andover, Massachusetts, asserts,
however, that the grubs after having entered
the earth, return to the surface in about six
weeks as perfect weevils, which must remain
hidden iu crevices until Spring. The most
popular opinion is that they remain iuthe larva
or pupa state. The worm or grub is often found
in the knots of excresences which disfigure and
destroy plum trees, and has been wrongfully
accused of being the cause of these swellings ;
but it is highly probable that the weevil, find
iug in the young knots an acid some what similar i
to that of the unripe fruit, merely deposits its j
eggs thereiu as the nearest substitute for the ,
real plum.
"Some of the remedies recommeuded for
preventing the ravages of these insects, are
absurd—such as tying cotton around the trees
in order to prevent them from ascending, when
it is known that they are furnished with wings, :
and fly from tree to tree with the greatest ease.
Among the remedies at present in use, oue is
to covei the frini with acoat.'ugof whitewash,
mixed with n little glue, applied l y means of a i
syring ; another ;s to spread a sheet upon the '
ground under the tree, and then jar the
branches suddenly with a mallet covered with
cloth, so as not to bruise the bark, when the
perfect insects will fall into the sheet and feign
death, and may be gathered and destroyed.—
Hogs are sometimes turned iuto plum orchards, i
where by eating the fallen and diseased fruit,
they materially lessen the evil. Coops of
chickens placed under the trees, and the
branches often shaken, the insects fall, and are
eagerly seized and devoured. All fallen fruit
should be gathered up several times iu the
course of the season and burned, or given to
hop, or destroyed in some other way. By so ;
doiug, thousands of the grabs which have" not'
yet left the plum are destroyed ; but as yet, i
no thoroughly practical remedy has been made !
public, and the above are merely mentioned as !
being useful iu small gardens, containing onlv !
a few trees."
How TO PRODITE LARGE FRTIT. —The secret
consists in supporting the fruit, so that they
shall not be allowed to hang their whole weight
upou the stalk, or to twist about in the wind.
When the fruit is allowed to liaug naturally
upon the stalk, the increasing weight strains
stem or twig, and thus lessens the quantity of
nutritious food flowing to the fruit. The fruit
may be supported either by tying it to a branch
with a piece of matting, or bv enclosing it in a
small net. Flowers, such as dahlias or poouies
may also be rendered much larger by the adopt
ion of this system.
To MAKE GOOD APPJ,E JKLT.Y. —Take apples
of the best (piality and good flavor, (not sweet)
cut them in quarters or slices, and stew them
till soft ; then strain out the juice, being vcrv
careful not to let any of the pulp go through
the strainer. Boil it to the consistency of
molasses, then weigh it and add a- manv pounds
of crushed sugar, stirring it constantly till the
sugar is dissolved. Add one ounce of extract
of lemon to every twenty pounds of jelly, and
when cold set it away in close jars. It will
keep good for years. Those who have not
made jelly in this way will do well to trv it •
they will find it superior to currant jelly.

RECEIPT FOR MAKING RICE BREAD. One and
a half pounds of rice put in a gallon of water
and stirred till it becomes quite soft, then mix
it (while warm) with fourteen pounds of flour,
and at the same time add a teaspoonful of salt
and the usual quantify of yeast. Let it stand
to rise, then make it into loaves an 1 bake it the
usual way. We have found the abovequuutity
of flour and rice to make us twenty-eight
pounds of cxeelleut bread, and independent of
the great saving, we like it better than bread
baked in the usual way.
To Ct'RE THE Soi'.F. NECKS OE OxF.N.—A
letter in an exchange says, a neighbor had a
pair of working oxen, whose necks became
very sore. lie covered that part of the yoke
resting upon the neck with sheet-lead. They
got well almost immediately, though constantly
kept at work. I suppose the lead being a
good conductor of heat, drew off the inflamma
tion, and thus enabled the sores to heal.

I Hclmbold's Highly Concentrated Fluid Extract fiurhu,
fur Diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Diseases.
Strictures. Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause
they may have originated, and no matter of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do nut trust yourself
in the hands of "Quacks, who start up every day iii a city
like this, and (ill the papers with glaring"falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. Yon canuot be too carefnl in
the selection of a remedv in these cases.
The fluid extract Bucfiu has lieen pronounced by emi
nent Physicians
THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN,
ft is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent iu its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease ; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody fromtbe
simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive.
IIKMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Extract Sarsoparilla.
For purifying the Blood, removing all disease- arising
from excess of Mercury, exposure aud imprudence iu
life, chronic constitutional di-ease, arising from an im
pure state of the blood, and the only reliable and effect
ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and Legs, Pains
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the face
and all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now pre cribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Couutry, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sar-a
parilla yet offered to the public. Several ease- . e ■on
darv Sypliilir, Mercurial and Scrofulous di cue. have en
tirely recovered in the incurable waids of our public insti
tutions, which had for many years resisted every mode of
treatment that could lie devi-cd. These cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the

discovery of the FORKST WJXK is the greatest I.lo
sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, a single lsittle
of which does more good, and goes further in the cure of
Disease, tiian ton bottles of any Harsaparilla in use, and
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weaken in"
effect.
The method by which all Sarssapnrillas. and other simi
lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling the Roots ot plants
to obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus
principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20
bottles of these Sarsaparillas are sometimes taken without
any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine
By the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per
fect wine is produced without beating : returning, at the
same time, all the primitive healing properties of'the rare
medicinal plants of which it is composed, thus render i
the Forest Wine the mst efficientmodi -i-ethe w hi ever

was badly afflicted with Neuralgia. affe-ti'-ns the Spine

lie:', and regained her health by the use of the Fore-t
Wine.
From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I
confidently recommend it for the good of others who may

ted with the above, or any similar disease, mav -a'elv re
