CuriHg Sumach. 
Tlic following is the Virginian method of gathering 
and curing sumach for market: Tlie leaves are stripped 
by hand from the branches of the buslics where they 
stand, and throAvn into baskets. Care must lie taken to 
keep the leaves clear of twigs, litter, and the hunches of 
sumach seed, which are often abundant upon the buslies 
the latter part of summer. 
Tlio filled baskets are emptied into a cart or Avagon, 
Avliich stands ready, and tliu leaves are taken at once to 
the curing yard, Avhere tliey arc spread upon low scaf¬ 
folds to dry. The green leaves slioukl not remain in 
hulk any length of time. Notliing begins to heat sooner 
than green sumach loaves, even Avlien in very small 
heaps. A baskelfnl Avlll acquire a sensible heat in one 
hour. It is therefore necessary to dry them quickly, to 
prevent Iteating and spoiling. 
Spread tlie leaves thinly on the scaffold. By the second 
day, if tlie weather is clear and hot, tlie contents of tAvo 
scaffolds may be placed on one, thus providing room for 
more frcsli leaves. Tlie leaves Avill cure enough to house 
in bulk in three days of fair weatlior. It is best to have 
the- scatiblds under trees or other objects to shade the 
sumacli Avhile curing,as thus a finer color is imparted to it. 
It takes several pounds of the green leaves to make one 
Avheii cured, and a person must be nimble if ho gathers 
enoiigli ill a day to make a hundred pounds of dried su¬ 
mach. The price paid for cured leaves here, does not 
make the business very profitable. AA’e Avere paid one 
dollar and a quarter per hundred pounds last year, ship¬ 
ping it in bags eighty miles to Riclimond. The cost of 
bags, freight, cartage, etc., is to be deducted from the 
selling price named. The curing season coming, how¬ 
ever, at a comparatively leisure time, there is some mar¬ 
gin for profit, and onr connti’y people may well turn an 
honest penny at this small iiulnstry. The plant groAvs 
Avild, and requires no cultivation or care. The collector 
here only cures the leaves, and sells them thus to the 
grinders, Avho liavo tlieir mills and Avarehonses in tiic 
cities of Petersburg, Richmond, etc. If collectors had 
the means for pressing the cured leaves into bales of 
small compass, so as to save room in transportation, 
farmers at a distance from the markets could Avell afford 
to collect and cure sumach leaves for sliipment. Those 
having cotton or hay presses should use tliem to advant¬ 
age. Virginian. • 
Xhe Corn Worm.— Mr. J. H. Robinson, 
Barry Comity, Michigan. The insect yon describe as 
injurious to your sweet corn, is llie caterpillar of Helio- 
this armigera, commonly called the corn-worm. The 
perfect insect is a moth of a pale yellow color, Avith olive 
and brownish markings. The female deposits lier eggs 
upon the silk of the ear, and the young caterpillars soon 
hatch and make their way to the grains beiioath the 
husks. When the worms are within the husks, no 
remedy can be apiiliod. All work witli this jicst must be 
of a preventive cliaracter. The same insect attacks the 
cotton bolls in the Southern States, Avhoro it is known 
as the “ boll worm.” It is also destructive to the tomato 
crop, and Avill feed upon liemp, peas, string-beans, 
and various plants of the flower-garden. Traps consist¬ 
ing of lanterns placed in a shallow pan holding water, 
Avith a little kerosene floating upon it, have been used 
withgood results. These night-traps need to he set early 
in the season, Avhen the moths first appear, and before 
the eggs have been deposited. All worms found in the 
ears of corn or elsewhere, should be destroyed.
