Darby, a noted Ohio horticulturist. “Every year I hear of them destroying whole orchards and yet there is nothing that can be disposed of more readily. I bore a hole in a tree deep enough to reach the sap, fill it with sulphur and plug it up. The result is magical. The sap"takes the sulphur to every branch and twig and the caterpillars die at once. I have gathered up the insects by the bushel under trees that had become infested with them before I noticed them and destroyed them. 1 have never known the remedy to fail, never knew of a tree being injured by it, and I have pursued this course for several years.”

The grading of the Three 1 is being delayed at this place on account of trouble with the B. & O. and L. E. & W. railroad companies who object to them crossing. The 15. &O. company will not permit the Three I to grade upon their land, but what the trouble is can not be ascertained. It's a fight between the general managers of the respective roads over some technicality. The L. E. & W. has served an injunction on the Three I against crossing their track. The reason for the L. E. j & W’s action, it is said, is that, as j matters now stand, they would have • to raise their track considerably to meet the level of the Three I grade. However, it is believed by interested parties that the trouble will be adjust- ; ed and work resumed on the Three I . within a short time. [ Later.—Since the above was put [ in type news has been received that the managers of the roads concerned z have adjusted all difficulties, and that r the Three I will resume grading al once.

The alarms from smalljiox thia year have been more numerous, and the cases have been more widely spread.
