The Apple-Tree Borer.
Even where the borer la common but
.comparatively few understand Its histo
ry. The perfect Insect of the apple tree
borer Is ono of the long-horned beetles ;
it Is about three-quarters of an luch
long, and has a pair of feelers more than
half as long as Itself; Its body Is brown,
with two iroad, nearly white stripes,
hence It is ealled tho two-striped super
da. The beetle is seldom seen, as It Is
dormant by day bnt flies and works at
night. Thelnsects begin to appear 4n
May and the next month the female lays
her eggs on the bark near the ground.
The young grubs soon bore through the
bark, and enter the tree, where they
live upon the ap wood, Just beneath
the bark, forming a cell or excavation
the size of half a dollar. It lives, eats
and grows here for 'about a year; then,
having stronger Jaws it in the second
summer bores upward toward the center
of the tree, making a hole three or four
Inches long, which it then curves out
ward .until its upper end reaches the
bark again and, at the beginning of the
third winter, it makes a bed and rests,
in the next spring, becoming a pupa,
and soon after changing to a beetle
which bores an exactly round hole
through the bark at the upper end of its
gallery, and comes into the world to lay
ggs and produce more borers. This is
the life history of the Insect. Any
" remedy" must be of a kind to keep
the young borer out, or to kill it after
it is in. Soap is found to keep off the
parent Insect. The base of the tree is
kept clear of weeds and the lower part
of the trunk is rubbed with soap; the
application Is repeated in June if washed
off by rains. Young orchards are to be
examined late in. July or early in Au
gust. Weeds, trash, and about an inch
of soil are removed from around the base
of the tree. The bark is carefully ex
amined, if the chips are found, or the
bark looks dead and dark, cut into it
with a sharp knife and cut the borer out.
If the insect has bored upward, it is to
be followed by a wire ; a piece of whale
bone, or a twig, and killed. American
Agriculturist.
Salt the Garden.
Gardens should be salted very liber
ally, for by so doing you will have no
worm eaten radishes, maggoty onions,
club footed cabbages, or any other vege
table grown in it injured by worms,
grubs, or any vermin that infest the
soil. Every one that raises uparagus
knows the necessity of using salt
abuudantly. One can scarcely use too
much. Many who grow cabbages know
its value when applied to the roots or
growing head; but every one does not
know that growing onions may be
buried under salt, leaving only the tops
out, and that the onion will grow
thriftily, while all maggots or worms
will die or disappear yet such is the
fact. Salt mixed with wood ashes, ap;
plied at the rate of a handful to the cen
tre of each hill of corn immediately
after planting, will supersede the use of
scare-crows and coal-tar, as no worm or
crow will touch it, besides giving the
fertilizing properties of the compound.
A friend residing in Edmestown, Otsego
county, who had broken up four acres
of sward, upon which to plant corn,
found it to be so very wormy, that he
dared not plant it, uutll I gave him the
above receipt, which he used after
planting. In the fall he told me that,
although his lot had woods upon three
sides of it, he did not lose a single hill
by worm or crow. The fact is worth
remembering.
Milking.
In milking do not seize the teat be
tween the thumb and forefinger, and
drag down until the end slips from the
grasp of the digits. Do not grasp with
the hand pressing the nails into the teat,
with a squeeze and a pull. Grasp the
teat with the thumb partly upward, and
the fingers in their natural position
, when closed, next the udder, and, clos
ing the fingers in succession, force the
milk downward, with a gentle pull on
. the udder. So proceed alternately with
each hand, going further and further up
Into the udder as the flow ceases, until
you have all the milk drawn. Thus you
may milk easily for yourself and the
cow. In fact, the cow soon comes to
like the manipulation. If a few simple
rules founded upon common sense were
observed in milking, Instead of kicking
cows and holding up the milk, we should
soon find our cows gentle to handle, and
much .vexation would be spared to the
milkers. It 8hould,however, be remem
bered that, in milking cows, gentleness
is a cardinal virtue. Prairie Farmer.
C3T When cookipg onions set a tin
cup of vinegar on the stove and let it
boil, and it is said you will smell no dis
agreeable odor.
