H - - .BEETON-On Wednesday night. of .1; week the members of the house- hold of Mr. Walter Evans retired shortly after ten o olock,_'_leaving__ the door unlocked so that the hired man might get in. During the night some person entered the house and spread himself a good meal on the table. He had cakes and a variety of other eat- sblsa piled up, evidently with the intention of carrying them away, but hemusth-ave been disturbed and left without them. He had taken a -long` iron rod frsmbehind the stove and it was lound on the table. -No doubt his intention was to use the rod if molest- ed while gorging himself at Mr. Evans expense. Nothing was missed from the house. No doubt the marauder was some wandering tramp who evi- dently kuew the proper house to strike fora square meal. . . .

' T110 lteliersl remedies for tent cater- pillars are, first, the collection. of the eggs in `the winter-of course I. speak now of ..orcha_rd practice. Therevis "no practical remedy" for the trees in forests where you could not get at .the...egg;` laid high up on large trees, but In orch- ards, in the case of most fruit growers, the collection of the eggs -during the winter when the trees are being pruned is a remedy of great practical use. All these insects have denite habits, and when you know `these you know, in many instances, how to ght them to the greatest advantage. The rings ct eggs from which the tent `caterpillars. hatch containtsbout 200 eggs and will be found a few inches from the ends of the small twigs. After nding half a dozen nests or so any one will learn to recognize them easily, and at a glance willbe able to tell whether there are any egg clusters on a tree. " Boys and children who, as a rule, have very sharp eyes will be `found of as- sistance in nding these eggs. I would not recommend this remedy for those who spray their trees regularly, for by sprayingesrlyl all this `labor is rendered unnecessary. But as there is unfortu- nately not one in half a dozen who does spray as -a regular practice, the collection of the eggs in winter will be found very useful for. most people.- After the_ eggs are hatched, spraying with Paris green is the best remedy. If neglected they soon grow large and strip whole trees of their leaves; they then leave the trees to look for-_ more food. When the caterpillars crawl down or drop -from the trees they crawl along fences or paths and 69911,! $0 50 particularly fond. of walking `along. I031?" nu_:._ _---....a.. Inn Man PD!
