The Apple Worm.
The moth from which this pest pro-1
Cecils, deposits its eggs in the blossom. I
The grub, when hatched, penetrates I
to the core, aml feeds on the growing I
pu-tp. When grown it eats its \my I
out, rhc-frnlt iTTffrntime. ripening pre-l
maturely and -falling. The grub then I
loavss it and ascends the trunk of the!
tree. Hero it makes its cocoon, gon-|
crallv under a scale of old bark, where!
it remains till laying **.— l
it eggs ini
in the blossoms for anew generation. I
Now is the time to destroy it. Sera pc I
the scales of bark from the trunk and I
lower limbs, and wash with a weak so-1
lotion of potash, a little stronger one!
of soda, or, better, one part of soft!
soap to three of water. Whale cill
aoap is good, if to be had, and is as I
cheap as a broom. If you have noth-1
ing better, put a bushel or two of ashes I
in a barrel of Water —say two bushels. I
Let it stand twenty four hours, audl
at sundown the next day apply it plen-1
tifullv, ashes and all, with a swab.— I
This is a remedy always at hand, and I
is about as good as any other. It will I
take off the scaly bark, kill the moth-1

Watering Newly Set Trees. I
A word upon this subject is impor-1
taut now, when many are, or ought to I
be, adorning their premises with fruit I
and shade trees, both of which are or-1
namental and about equally so. Set I
the fruit trees then first, and let the!
shade trees claim your next attention. I
Some people think, the more water!
the surer a tree is to live. The truth I
is, the more water the more a tree!
“ won’t ” live. A little water is what I
you want. In moist earth there isl
just about water enough. If you add|
more put it around the tree at a little!
distance, that it may trickle through!
slowly and reach the roots bv degrees,l
just in nature’s way of distilling thel
rains of heaven through solid earth. —
Nature should be our teacher in many
things? and especially in this. I have
set many a hundreds of fruit trees
without "watering, and never lost one
that I can now remember. But they
should be mulched with swingling,
tow, straw, salt, hay, pairings from
the shoe maker’s, tan bark or sorne-l
thing of the kind, a pile of stones, ifj
you have nothing better. A little wa
ter, and nearly uniform in quantity
throughout the first summer, is the se
cret of making a thousand trees live,
without exception, ond the secret of
effecting this is a good mulching and
very little or no water, beyond what
Leaven sends.
Oghrpruning should be done now.
T.ike off smooth! v, with a sharp knife,
(have a hone in your pocket to keep]
it sharp) all the shoots about the base
and in the interior of the tree; and
if there arc limbs, running where you
see they will meet and be entangled
with other limbs, cut them off' now
while they are small. You should do
this every year and then you will
have no occasion to mutilate the tree
and invite the rot, by cutting large
limbs. Tito way to trim an apple tree
is to look ahead and cut off shoots
that arc taking a wrong direction, be
fore they become large. Light trim
ming will then be all that is needed,
and this you may do at any time,
though now is the best. A good or
chardist will seldom pass through his
orchard without drawing out his knife
and cutting a shoot here and there
which he foresees will, be useless or
worse. Prevention is better than cure
in more things than one; and no
where is this maxim more applicable
than in preventing the grow th of limbs
to be severed when large.
Marrowfat Beans. —From obser
vation, I am forcibly impressed that
there are but few farmers who realize
the worth of marrowfat beans, com
pared with others that are generally I
raised. Some farmers think that if
they plant a few beans, they must oc
cupy some odd corner, or some poor
spot of ground. My advice would be,
to procure the marrow, as they will
yield on good ground from one-third,
to double more than any I have tried.
I will give my experience: Three
years ago I plowed and planted, from
the 13th to the loth of June, 80 feet
square, in drills about 33 inches apart
and 18 inches in the row, on land
suitablo to raise good corn ; and I
harvested six bushels of good beans.
I would recommend~planting as early
as corn, becauseitgives better weather
to harvest them, generally, which is
very essential to keep them in good
merchantable order. The beans are]
quoted the highest in the liew York]
market. I
