Economic entomology, or the science which treats of insects injurious to crops and practical methods for preventing their ravages, has, during the past ten years, so much advanced that it may almost be said to be a new science. This remar -kable ad- vancement has been due chiefly to the dile •covery of new remedies and the invention -of new apparatus for applying these. Amongs the former, spraying with Paris green and other arsenical poisons for all foliage -eating insects takes a prominent place, and of the latter the most important invention is a suitable nozzle for distribut- ing liquid insecticides so that the material used may be thrown upon the foliage in a state of very fine division—in fact, as an actual spray or mist.. In this 'way not only is the material economised by being spread over the largeet possible area, but the chance of injuring the foliage is much lessened. The invention by the U.S. Entomologist,Dr. Riley, of the cyclone nozzle marks an era in this work, and since then various other devices have been prodeced, the most important being the "Ver - morel," which is merely an improvement of the Riley cyclone noizie. What, is required is a nozzle which will break up the liquid into a very fine mist. I have not seen any Canadian -made pumps and nozzles which are now in the market; but suitable pumps are to be obtained for a few dollars from many of our seedsmen. There are three kinds of pumps: (i.) Large pumpe requiring to be mounted upon a vehicle to be drawn by horses; (ii.) knapsack pumps, which con- tain about four gallons and can be carried :b 1 on the back by a man, and (iii.) hand pumps, which are smaller, and can be placed in a pail and carried where required. or a few trees or a garden these last answer all purposes. As stated above, spraying foliage with Paris green will destroy ail leaf -eating in- sects, and there is no doubt that it will pay any farmer to purchase a spraying out- fit, not only for protecting hie crops against. insects, but a force pump will also be found a very useful instrument to have on hand for many purposes about a farm -house, as washing windows and buggies or in cage ,of fire. Of insects for which a spraying pir np will be found most useful are the followieigt THE CODLING MOTH (Carpocapsa pornen- ella, L.)—The "apple worm" is too well- known to consumers of apples as a pinkish caterpillar, about three-quarters of an' inch in length, found inside apples. The egg from which this caterpillar originated was laid in the center of the apple blossoms af- ter they opened. In about a week after being laid the minute egg bate:hes, and the young caterpillar eats its way down into the core of the apple. It subsequently borZ:s through the flesh- of the fruit and leaves it to spin its nbocani in a crevice of the bark or some .other suitable place. There are two broods ofi this insect in a season. The first of thee is that men- tioned above, and the eggs a which are laid in the spring, the moths appearing in July, and laying eggs on the forming fruit —generally the later varieties. These hatch soon after, and the young caterpil- lars eat their way in, frequenely beginning between two apples where they touch each other. Most of the caterpillars'of thlis brood leave the fruit before winter sets their cocoons in hollows of th some are harvested with th may be found in the ba,rr winter.

Remedy. -The beet remedv fer this in- sect is spraying the trees a (lay or two after the flowers have fallen with Paris green in the proportion of one pound of the poison to 200 gallons of water. In spray- ing the foliage the spray !mist be forcibly applied so as to reach ;every Dart, but should be shifted from place to place as soon as the liquid begins to drip -from the leaves. Dr. Riley recorm ends two spray- ings, the first afte0.he fajling of the blos- soms,or when the iippfes sre about the size of peas, and the second a veek or ten days later. The second sprayi g is to destroy caterpillars hatching from s-ggs which may be laid afeer the first sprit -.in. as the poi- son is gradually washed o = by rains. One spraying, however, 1 hay found to giee very good results in fine weather, but when rains fall immediately afeer the first spray- ing a second application would certainly be advisable. For further information on spraying and insecticides I would refer your readers to bulletin 11 of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, which can be procured grat- is by any farmer in Canada who applies for it. There is NO DANGER oF leeiseesa-Nce To those who have not themselves eprayed apple trees with Paris green as receirunended above, or te others who have not taken the trouble to think the matter out, it may at first eight, appear that there might be same clang/et- in deliberately dis- tributing each a poisenotte materiel as Paris green ever fruit which ti'tl', aft t-VW:talS to be eaten. For the bene llt of sucti 1 V. ill merely mention the followina tants, and leave it to their Ouninon sense to decide that there is no poesible danger; bet, ou the other hand, there is very great advantage, both to themselves and to the country at large, by increasiug the revenue :-!--- 1. Where alternate tees have beeu sprayed in an orchard, thos; eprayed gave good crups of sound apples, while of those -entreated the fruit was ince%tly wormy. , -2. Most careful clietniciel analysis has showu frevivntly that in 'topples sprayed twice with -Paris green inf Jane not the minutest trace of arsenic could be detected en the ripened fruit. I & The amount of poison e hich falls upon the fruit when apalied in the usual pro- portion (one pound to 200 g llone of water) is so infinitessimally small w en distributed over a large number of tree —an ordinary tree requiring from one to jwo gallons— that there is no possibility o injuring the consumer of the fruit. 4. At the time itis rec apply Paris green to apple trt in fruit is very small indee t, and being erect, is protected from the oison falling upon it by the lobes of th calvx. The nunute ana delicate caearpniar hatches in- side this open calyx, where most of the spray which reaches the fruit must lodge, and therefore is killed in gnawing its way into the apple. 5. The fruit is tin small at the time of spraying that even were it covered thickly FIG. 2. on the outside with poison by the natural expansion of the fruit nearly, if not all, of the material would be pushed off as it at- tained its full size. 6. Paris green is not in the least of an adhesive or sticky nature, and Dr. Riley sa.vs (U.S. Farmer's Bulletin No. 7, p. 10) : "As a matter of fact, careful microscopic examinations have been made of the fruit and foliage of sprayed trees at various in- tervals after spraying, which indicate that after the water is. evaporated the poison soon entirely :disappears, either through being blown off by the wind or washed off by rains, so that after fifteen days hardly the minutest trace can be dis3overed." 7. Paris green is practically insoluble, so cannot be absorbed by vegetable tissues, and if it were rendered noiuble and if it could be absorbed by fruits, its corrosive nature would destroy the tissues. s Pee ei CURCULIO (Conotrachetus nen'uphar, Herbst.)—Fig. 2. Equally well known, from its work, with the Codling Moth of the apple, is the Curculio of the - plum, which is shown in all its stages at Fig. 2. This insect passes- the winter in the perfect state (Fig. 2 c.) As soon as new growth appears on the plum, cherry, peach,_ etc., trees, the beetles fly to them and feed on the new growth. When the fruit is about as big as large peas, the female (shown natural size on a cherry at d, and enlarged at e), having made with her jaws a small hole- in the side of the fruit, pushes in one egg, and then cuts a crescent- shaped slit in front crt the hole. The grub which hatches from this egg is white (shown magnified at a'the natural size is shown by the hair -line beneath.) Plums which are attacked fall to the ground before the fruit ripens; but cherries frequently hang on the trees until ripe. There is only one brood in the year, the perfect forxn being attained in the aututnn. Remedy.--e-The best retnedy for this insect also is spraying with Paris green; 1 Ile to 200 gallons of water, to which, however, lime -water has been added at the rate of 2 gallons to 100 gallons of water. In making the lime -water, mix lime with water until it is the thickness of milk ;• this must be strained through a coarse cloth and then mixed with the Paris green mixture when it will have the effect of preventing the in- jurious effect of the Paris green Upon the delicate foliage of the plum. Spraying should not be done until the plums are well set. .The proper time is once when the fruit is as big as peas, and again ten days later. CAN ICES--evoRms (A.nisopteryx pometaria and A. vernata..)--4/f the leaf -eating insects which may be treated by spraying at the same time as the Codling Moth on the rnruended to es the form - FIG. 3. apple -tree are the canker -worms, leaf -rollers and many others. The cankers are some- times very injurious, and are of the shape shOwn at Fig. 3. They are called loopers from their way of walking, in which they loop up their body at each step, as shown above.—James Fletcher, Dominion Ento- mologist, in Farmer's Advocate.

Corn is easily grown, and three crops can be raised annually. The manufacture of starch from potatoes is attracting attention in the Australian colonies. The yield of wheat in the Argentine, this season, is unsatisfactory, in some districts hardly paying threshing expenses. 'The National Agricultural Society of Hungary has arranged a trial for reapers and binders; to be held on July 9th and 10th. Cotton is one of the most important pro- ducts of Persia, the annual crop amount- ing to about 35,000 bales, mostly Ispahan cotton. In the Bahamas there are now planted 4,200 acres with 2,633,000 sisal plants. The fiber is worth $100 to $150 per ton, cleaned.

A unanimously signed petition has been gotten up asking for its removal, and another praying to have it left where it is. The present building, used for a post office, is entirely too small, both for accommodation of the public and the business of the office. Some suggest that the post office be located in the new town hall building. There is plenty of room there, and it is in a central place, and it would afford some revenue to the town.

IRA - RAM LLTON, April 20, 1892. I was doctming for years with physicians for a scaly and scurvy affliction of the scalp, they told me it was eczema, but gave me no permanent- relief. I was also troubled with 'ezcessive dandruff, which would drop from my head like snow flakes. Hearing of Anti -Dandruff I used it, and from the third appli- cation felt more relieved than for years; when half the bottle was used the eczema -and scaly eruptions disappeared and have not returned since ; dandruff was thoroughly removed, the itching of the scalp stopped, and for an elegant, clean and useful hair- dressiug Anti -Dandruff has no equal.
