To Destroy Caterpillars on Trees. Having observed several methods of destroying the cnterplllnrs that InfeRt apple-trees In the spring, audi ib rub bing them off, burning them with shav ings, cotton and turpentine, Ac, I am induced to give you the simple and per fectly effectual method practiced here : Take common soft-soap, and thin It with water so thnt It will not slip off the brush, and a person may stand upon the ground and npply It to the nests with a common painter's brush, inserted in a hole bored through one end of a long strip sawed from a pine or other light board, and all that it touches It will in stantly kill. If applied while the nests are small, very few will escape the first application. After the worms are larger, it is equally eflleactous, but much more difficult to apply thoroughly. Any thin oil, or oil mixed with spirits of turpentine, Is equally destructive to the worm ; but the soap is less injurious to the trees. Don't Rob the Birds' Nests. . In the course of a recent lecture in Farls regarding the uses of birds, an estimate was formed of the damage to crops by the robbery of a nest contain ing five eggs. During the first month each young bird eats on an average of about fifty-eight flies or other insects in a day. The aggregate, multiplied by thirty, for the month makes 0,500 insects to every nest. Every insect eats dolly from blossoms and leaves an amount equaling Its weight until it reaches ma turity. It was calculated that in thirty days each insect would damage thirty blossoms, and thereby destroy thirty fruits, and that 7,500 insects would kill 225,000 fruits. It will be well, therefore, for farmers' eons to reflect upon the damage done to their parents by the wanton robbery of a single nest. Testing Flour. In selecting flour first look to the col or. If It is white v 1th ayellowlsh straw colored tint, buy It. If it is white with a bluish cast, or with white specks, in it, refuse it. Second, examine its adhesive ness wet and knead a little of It between your fingers; if It works soft and sticky, it Is poor. Third, throw a little lump of 1 riotl flour against a smooth surfuce ; if it fulls like powder it is bad. Fourth, equeexe the flour tightly In your hand ; if It letalns the shape given by the pres sure, that, too, Is a good sign. It is safe to buy Hour that will stand all these tsts. These modes are given by all our flour dealers, and they pertain to a mat ter tiuit .concerns everybody the staff oflifr. The Care of Colts. If aeolt is never allowed to get an advantage, it will never know that it posKcsHCs power beyond its master's control; if mad familiar with strange objects, noises, rings, it will not be nervous or skittish. If a horse is accus tomed from his early youth to having objects hit him on the heels, back and hips, he will not attempt to run away when a harness gives out or a wagon runs against liiui. If all the colts in this country could be managed for the first few years of their lives by good, careful, competent managers, we would have a race of well-broken horses. Sour Feed. The souring of foods seems to add to its value for certain purposes-: thus ex- jriments have convinced many in the belief that pigs thrive better on soured food than any other, but is yet a mooted question regarding the use of such food for other kinds of stock. The souring of food is owing to a change called the lactic-acid fermentation, by which this held (the acid of milk) is produced from 6ome of the carbonaceous principles of the food. The same acid occurs in the gastric juice of the stomach. . Preserving Dried Fruits from Wcr.n.. In the spring, before the worms have made their appearance (or even after you can detect a few), wash your fruits in a liberal quantity of warm water, as if you were preparing them for cooking. Shake the water from them, and dry, either in the house or out, as may be convenient. They will dry in a few hours. And this time you will be too early for the insects, and therefore se cure the eating of your own delicious fruits. t-JT A dark house is always an un healthy, an ill-aired house, and a dirty bouse. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, 'rickets, etc, among the children. People loso their health in a dark house; and If they tycome ill they can not get well in it. 1 1 1 Or VALUARLH REAL EST AT b.
