The plum, like the pear and other finer Iruits, attains its greatef^t perfection 

 on our heavy soil, being entirely free from disease. The curculio, a small,, 

 dark brown beetle, often stings the fruit, causing it to drop otf ; but the follow- 

 ing directions faithfully observed, will secure a good crop of this splendid fruit. 

 As soon as the blosboms have fallen, spread two sheets under the tree, and 

 give the tree a sudden jar by striking a smart blow with a hammer upon the 

 stub of a limb sawed from the tree for the purpose; the insects will drop on the 

 sheet and can be killed. Collect all the fallen fruit and burn or feed to swine. 

 Repeat the*operation every day for two or three weeks. It should be done before 

 sunrise.
