Mauy farmers have notL-ed in their fielJa
a Iarye black beetle, with mu-t brilliant dots
placed ia rows on his buck. Dr. Fitch
says : ''Iw eggs produce the corn grub
killer. It ia a most inveterate foe to the
cut-worm, graspin the worm in its strong
jaw, anl, in ypite of its violent writhing
and struggle-;, securely holding it. When
it finds these worms in plenty, it gorges and
surfeits itself upon them till it 'n so glutted,
and extended as to be scarcely able to stir,
for it never knows lio7 to let a cutworm
alone when it meets hira. It is continually
Lnntfnj thee worms, feed incr on nothing
else if it can obtain them. Both it and the
golden dotted beetle which produced it there
fore, should never be harmed.
Autumn Planting of trees is best where
there is likely to be a lonu', mild autumn,
but where the winter i-liuts down suddenly,
it Is better to plant in (-tiring. Next month
the trees will be ready to remove from the
nursery, and the gruund should be prepared
for their reception. A deep, well drained,
but not over-rich soil is le.-t. l'low and
subsoil, anil if ossil le make the whole piece
intended for the oieiiaid so well prepired
that a tree wiil grow iu one place as well as
in another.
The American Acrimilttirist tuils'astory
of the means by v-liich a farmer always suc
ceeded in rai.-ini; a Inrirer and fatter line
than any of his neichltors with whom he
was competing. It was found that he made
nse of jealousy as a tonic. After the Ins
hog had eaten all it wanted, he would let
a lor little pig into the pi n, when the fat
one would fiht it otf, and continue eating,
to prevent th" oilier ge' ting any food.
Gkapes. Market growers often gather
tlie fruit a.-soon as it is colored and before
it is fully ripe. Snme varieties, like the
Iiana, are eatable when only partly ripe.
Full maturity is shown by the stem assu
mitig a ripe appearance and losing its stiff
ness, alliwiii!; th ; bunches to hang directly
d wn fnm the vine. Use scissors in gathering-,
and handle the fruit as little as possi
ble. .Mancri.n;. Nurserymen who raise the
best trees pass be! ween the nur-cry rows
with a plow and turn a shallow furrow, in
which a well decouiM)sed compost is distrib
uted and earth thrown back. In this way
the land is kept in excellent condition.
Budding may continue as lone as the
bark of the stock will lift or "run," which it
will do with pe:iches ami rjuinee stocks this
month. Einiii'ie previous buddings and
loosen the bandages if need be. Where
buds failed, put iu others, if not too late.
Have yoj sufficient shelter for all animals
to be wintered over? If not provide them
at once. It is a bad policy to let them
stand out in the cold. Repair all out-build
