REMITTANCES by Registered Letter are at our risk. ' Receipts will be acknowledged upon the address label. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Tree —For washing the trunks of trees to drive away borers and to destroy such insects as may be upon them, carbolic acid and kerosene emulsion is excellent. It consists of one quart of soap, one pint of kerosene, two quarts of water and one pint of carbolic acid. The Cherry and Pear Tree Slug should be watched for carefully a«d remedies should be applied immediately. Dry dust, coal or wood ashes? plaster, slacked lime, will destroy them ; but, if the trees are large and numerous, arsenites may be more readily applied. NozzELS FOR Si'RAViNi;.—For orchard spraying the noz/.le makes a mist-like spray and does excellent work, but for the vineyard, and especially with the knapsack sprayer, the Vermorel the best, being easily cleaned if clogged. This it is particularly apt to do in applying the Bordeaux mixture, and, therefore, in the use of this fungicide, the \'ermorel nozzle is decidedly the most desirable. Cl'RCULIo.—liuiletin 83, of the Michigan Agricultural College, notes that the " Little Turk" sometimes appears upon plum trees before the flowers open, and, as it has recently been decreed in the interest of bee keepers that no spraying be done while the trees are in bloom, it will be wise to give an application to our plum trees just before the blooming time, in order to destroy any curculio that might be waiting around U) begin its mischievous depredation.^. i'KOTECTiNd VouN(; Trees From Mice.—In bulletin 17 of the Massachu- setts Agricultural College, a simple rec
