AGRICULTURAL; 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 Ot‘a nf 4Ko nm. £avu._ auull leave the trunk, after a rain or two, as I smooth and healthy as a girl's face ofl sweet sixteen. . g 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 Black Dye for Linen and Cot I TON.— -A good black dye for linen and cloth in a solution of Sulphate of from (or the iron liquor of commerce) until saturateij; hang it to dry, but-it must not be wrung; and ■When' dry take] sufficient quantity of logwood and make a strong decoction ; strain it through a sieve, ng*Spt>il the liquor, immerse the prepare<rcloth, and-kcep it boiling for half an hour. To Keep Mice out of Peas.— Mix arsenic with meal and lard.— Half fill obi bottle neck* with th« mixture, coiKed at one end, place I these at THE GEORGIA WEEKLY.
