will be held at Eagle Lake, near Warsaw, Ind., 
June 5 and 6 . 
French canned peas, which are quite a feature 
in this market, are fully up to the usual supply 
this year, while importers still have a consider¬ 
able stock on hand. 
Canada has increased the import duty on re¬ 
fined sugars, and imposed a duty on raw sugars 
which were previously admitted free of duty. The 
suddenness of the change has had a demoralizing 
effect on trade. 
All imported hides must be thoroughly disin¬ 
fected before Landing, to guard against the in¬ 
troduction of any contagious cattle diseases. 
Arsenic-cured or dry-salted are accepted as com¬ 
plying with the requirements. 
The first importation of wheat from the United 
States into Canada, was made recently; 10 car¬ 
loads of red winter were brought in from Detroit, 
and it will be used in the flour mills of Ontario. 
Further importations are probable. 
Germany has increased the duty on imported 
cotton-seed oil, both crude and refined. The only 
exception is in favor of that which has been de¬ 
naturalized by chemicals and thus rendered unfit 
for food. This is used for soap making.

Pruning Large Trees. —Can large fruit trees be 
pruned as late as the month of May ? When is 
the proper time to prune them ? j. g. k. 
Kentucky. 
Ans.—T hey can be, but we would prefer to prune 
them before the buds begin to swell. As late as 
May, in your latitude, the trees are likely to be in 
full leaf, and the work cannot be so well done. 
The old adage says, “Prune at any time when the 
saw is sharp,” but some times are preferable to 
others, nevertheless. 
Tree Wash. —How can we make a mixture to 
wash trees and keep out the worms. r. r. a. 
Ans. —We doubt whether a wash can be de¬ 
pended on to keep out “worms.” A good white¬ 
wash is probably as good as anything. The 
white color also reflects the heat where it is liable 
to affect the trunks injuriously. Whale-oil soap 
added to this wash will increase its efficiency, or 
the latter may be used alone to make a wash. 
Gas tar is sometimes added to the whitewash—a 
pint to a bucketful. The same amount of strong 
lye may also be added. 
Remedy for Curculio. —What is the best remedy 
for the plum curculio ? When should it be used ? 
We are much troubled with them, especially on 
Lombards. a. e. d. 
Colborne, Canada. 
Ans.— Planting the trees in the henyard is a 
good way to head them off. Applications of in¬ 
secticides to the trees are practically useless. Jar¬ 
ring the trees in the morning will dislodge many 
of the pests, and they may be caught on sheets 
spread under the trees, and destroyed. Some use 
an apparatus like an inverted umbrella which 
clasps around the tree, and into which the dis¬ 
lodged curculios drop.
