The time of making up the premium lists for the 
coming season’s exhibitions is now upon us. Some 
few Societies have an anged iheir premiums, but as 
a rule, they are generally completed in Muy. Iu re¬ 
gard to the awards on fruits we desire to make one 
or two remarks. It has formerly been a practice to 
offer the largest premium for the largest, collection, 
and the result has been that some commercial 
grower has obtained the award, thus advertising 
himself, but from the fact that not one in teu of 
the varieties exhibited were worth cultivating, the 
amount expended for the premium has not advanced 
fruit culture in any point. It lias also been a prac¬ 
tice to award a first premium to the best seedling, 
peach, apple, pear, &c., Ac., and the writer of this 
has paid bis dollar for a peach in bud, or a graft of 
awarded premium,

apple or pear, for a new seedling 
which, when it came to fruit, was fouud surpassed 
in value by many old aud well known sorts. These 
two premiums, given without any restricting or with 
insufficient restricting clauses or requirements, have 
assisted greatly in increasing our list of fruits only 
“good” in quality, according to the terms of our 
American Pomological Society—varieties, that if a 
man have an old bearing tree of it may not be ad¬ 
visable to destroy or even engraft., but which, if 
about, to plant, are not desirable. It is npon these 
two premiums that we propose a word to the man¬ 
agers of Agricultural and Horticultural Societies. 
We are overwhelmed with varieties of fruits 
named and described. We know some are adapted 
to one section aud 6ome to another. Soil6 change 
the character of the varieties, so that even good 
Pomologists arc sometimes at a loss to recognize, 
varieties, and yet there are comparatively few of the 
very many named aud described, which even a 
list to cover our whole States and soils would em¬ 
brace. Year by year, as our people tost old sorts in 
new locations, and compare them with the new 
ones originated even in those same new locations, 
the value of the old, aud waat of value of the new, 
are showu, and the latter year by year are left out 
in new planting, until a few years elapse, when they 
are known only in the books. We, therefore, urge 
npon the managers or revisors of premium fruit 
lists the preparing of their awards so that they shall 
minister to the wants of the people and the actual 
advancement of fruit culture. And in so doing, we 
suggest that the preminm for largest number of 
varieties shall embrace only such as would rank 
according to pomological rnle as “vfri-y good" In 
quality, and tiff- premium for new seedling shall be 
found to compare in all respects favorably with any 
and all known varieties that are by pomologicul 
rules classod as “best." 
Further, we would insist on the exhibitor or com¬ 
petitor for the premium giving the list of names 
of hia fruits, and stating on what soil they had been 
grown, and if a seedling, a full history of it; and 
then the committees should he bound to report 
these names, and t,o state in the ease of the seedling 
with what named variety classed as “best” by 
pomological rules they had found it. to compare 
favorably.

ENGLISH SWEET-SCENTED VIOLET 
This is the sweetest of all the early spring flowers, 
and on account of its earliness and fragrance is very 
desirable. It begins to blossom in April and con¬ 
tinues through May. There are several varieties, 
white and blue, double and single, but the double 
blue is the best. The engraving shows that the 
plant roots at the joints, spreading quite rapidly in 
this manner. The English Sweet.-Scented Violet 
is a great favorite for placing in vases to perfame 
a room. 
“ Three only of the remedies that have been pro¬ 
posed will receive any notice from us. A few years 
since the lime remedy was quite generally received 
as a sure protection to the plum. At the time of 
its appearance iu print we were operating with our 
curculio catcher, and at once discontinued its use 
on several of our trees and made a most thorough 
trial of the lime, which at first promised to be a 
success. It did not seem to deter the curculio from 
depositing its eggs in the plums, but they did not 
hatch; later, the weather becoming dry, the suc¬ 
ceeding deposits did hatch, and the larvae penetrated 
the plums as freely as iu those not limed. 
“ Further experiments with the lime proved that 
so long as the weather was wet the lime, or the caus¬ 
tic properties of the lime, was imparted to the water 
and entered the perforation in which the eggs were 
deposited and destroyed them, but was of uo value 
in dry weather. The second remedy we shall con¬ 
sider—that of pasturing the orchard with hogs—is 
valuable to some extent, since all the fallen fruit 
with the larvai they contain are consumed by them. 
In isolated orchards this would be sufficient protec¬ 
tion were it not for the fact that larvae are often 
perfected in the fruit and eat their way out while 
the fruit is yet upon the tree. To our certain knowl¬ 
edge this invariably occurs to an extent to stock 
the orchard with curcttlios the following year. We 
now come to the third and only certain remedy yet 
known,—jarriug down and destroying the insects 
during the entire curculio season. And since oms 
is the only practical mode of capturing the insects, 
expeditiously, yet published, we give a description 
of our curculio catcher aud the manner of operating 
with it. 
“To make a curculio catcher we| first obtain a 
light wheel, not to exceed three feet in diameter, 
the axlctree of which should be about ten Inches 
long. We next const ruct, a pair of handles, similar 
to those of a wheel-barrow, but much more depress¬ 
ed at the point designed to receive the bearings of 
Ihe axletree, and extending forward of the wheel 
just far enough to admit ft cross beam to connect 
the handles at thus point, one and a-half inches in 
the rear of the wheel a second cross beam is framed 
into the handles, and eighteen to twenty-four inches 
further back a third. The two last named cross 
beams have framed to their under sides a fourth 
piece centrally, between the handles and pointing 
iu the direction of the wheel. To the handles and 
to the three last named pieces the arm or ribs to 
support the canvas are to be fastened. To the 
front part of the beam connecting the handles in 
front of the wheel, the ram is attached. This 
should bu covered with leather, stuffed with furni¬ 
ture moss, a dozen or more thicknesses of old hat, 
leather, or other Hubstance, being carefal to use no 
more than necessary to protect the tree from bruis¬ 
ing. Ascertain the elevation the handles should 
have in driving aud support them in that position. 
We now put in place the. stretchers or arms, six for 
each side, which are to receive and support the 
cunvaa. We put the frout arias in position. These 
extend hack to near the center of the wheel on each 
side and in front of the wheel (for large machines) 
3 iy six feet-, and are far enough apart to receive ihe 
largest tree between them on which it is intended 
to operate. The remaining armis are supported on 
the handles, and fastened to them hum u> Hu 
cross aud parallel pieces in the rear of the wheel. 
These are so placed as to divide the 6paee at their 
outer cuds equally between them and the first men 
tioned stretchers, and fastened to the ends of the 
handles. Next we have ready a strip of half-inch 
board two and a-half wide. One end of this is 
secured to the forward end of one of the front 
arms, and in like manner to all the others on one 
side of the machine, and fastened to the handles 
Both sides are made alike. The office of these 
strips is to hold the outside cuds of the arms in 
position; they also hold the frout arms from cloa 
ing. These outside strips also receive the outside 
edge of the canvas wlrch is fastened to them as 
well as the several arm supports. It will be seen 
that the wheel is nearly in the center of the ma¬ 
chine. To cover the opening at this point, a frame 
is raised over it, which is also covered with canvas. 
The arms, or stretchers, are so curved that the mo¬ 
tion of the machino, in moving from one tree to 
another, should bring everything fulling on the can 
vaa to depressed points, ouo on each side of the 
wheel, where openings are made into funnels empty¬ 
ing into pockets or bags for the reception of insects 
and fallen fruit. The whole maehiue should not 
exceed ten or eleven feet in breadth by twelve or 
thirteen in length. These are for large orchard 
trees; smaller ones could be protected with a mud 
smaller machine. If the frame work has been prr 
erly balanced, the maeb.ne will require but )' 
lifting, and will be nearly propelled by It 1 
weight. This curculio catcher, or machine 
against the tree three or four times, with 
force to Impart a decided jarring motio' 
parts. The operator then backs far en.f 
the machine to the center of the spa/ 
rows, tunis round and ia like man/ 
in the opposite row. In this w* 
rate on three hundred trees per 
We extract the following information of the Cnr- 
culio and description of the best, method of destroy¬ 
ing it, from an Essay by Dr. E. 8. Hull, Alton, Ill.: 
u In this latitude cnrcnlios begin to make their 
appearance early in the season, always some days be 
fore the trees are in bloom, and are usually stocked 
with well grown eggs by the time the young plums 
are as large as a pea. 
Everywhere in this region 
where orchards are numerous and regularly in bear 
ing, the curculio has so increased in numbers that 
they no longer confine their operations to the plain 
These insects are also well acquainted with the 
hickory nut. This year, on a large Bhell-bark tree 
coutiguutis to our orchard, on which there wore 
one or two bushels of nuts, not one could be fouud 
which had not been destroyed by them. I have 
also known them to deposit their eggs in straw¬ 
berries, gooseberries, and occasionally in grapes. 
Perhaps it is a little curious that these last named 
fruits, as well as apples aud pears, should be attack¬ 
ed by them, siuce in none of these are the larvce 
perfected. The Bame remark will also apply to the 
late peaches, stung early iu season ; whereas, in all 
the early varieties, as well as early nectarines, the 
apricot and cherry, they breed quite as freely as in 
the plum. Notwithstanding the lame are not per 
fected iu the pear and apple, the eggs hatch and the 
young grubs cut their way a considerable distauee 
into these fruits, where they perish. The fruits, at 
these wounded parts, cease to grow, and some vari¬ 
eties of apples, the Kawle’s Janet, for example, iu 
some localities, nearly all rot from the punctures 
thus made. Those apples that escape rottiug are 
so deformed and kuoity as to be of little value, 
except ‘to sell,’ and for cider. The mischief done 
by these insects is by no means confined to the loss 
of the stuug fruits; these, under certain conditions, 
rot to such an, extent, especially some of the early 
peaches, as to defoliate and kill all the Interior 
branches, and so impair the vitality of the trees 
ub to render them worthless, and, in some instances, 
to kill them. Withiu a few yearn we have discov¬ 
ered that much of the blaek knot, on the branches 
of our plum trees, was clearly referable to the stuug 
plums resting on and rotting on the branches ; thus 
creating those conditions favorable to a species of 
fungoid growth resulting in that peculiar enlarge¬ 
ment of the limbs known as the 1 black knot.’ 
“Curculios crawl freely and quickly from one part 
of the tree to another. Before they take Lo wing 
they start oil'at a rapid pace, expanding their wiugs 
as they go. They rarely fly, except in the middle 
of the day, though iu very warm nights occasionally 
one will bo attracted and lly into a small light. That 
curculiog never hybernatc above ground, we are not 
prepared to deny, having ourselves in l wo or three 
instances found them lute in the season under cover 
of bark. In this locality, however, that a large per 
cent, of them do really remain in the earth (luring 
winter, at a depth of 15 to 38 inches, is to our miud 
a well established fact. During the month of Janu 
ary, 1868, while my workmen were excavating a 
ditch under peach trees, I fouud two well devel¬ 
oped larva; of the curculio at the depth of 27 and 3S 
inches; and during the month of April last, under 
some cherry trees which had been neglected the 
preceding year, I found two perfect curoulios nearly 
ready to come forth, pupie and quite a number of 
larva),—some of them not more than one-half or 
and others about to enter the 
Fig. 1. f ig. 3 . 
as shown in figure 2. When it falls over it then 
comes off’ with a clear smooth surface. After large 
branches are cut off', the wood should be paiuted or 
tarred to keep the wounds from decaying until the 
bark grows over. Very small branches do not need 
this, as they eover themselves long before decay 
seriously commences.” 
Currant Wine. —Take perfectly ripe currants, 
mash and strain; to each quart put 2 of water and 
3 of sugar; stir the whole well together, and let 
it stand 24 hours without stirring; then skim ami 
set in a cool place where it will ferment slowly. 
When it becomes clear it is fit to bottle. This will 
be good in the course of six months, hut is much 
improved by being kept two or three years. I have 
currant wine two years old, made according to the 
above recipe, which is far preferable to Madeira in 
sickneis. 
To Make Sandwiches. —Rnb a teaspoonful of 
mustard flour into half a pound of sweet butter; 
spread this mixture upon thin slices of bread. 
From a boiled ham cut very thin slices, and place 
a slice of ham between two slices of bread pre¬ 
pared as above; cut the saud wiehes in a convenient 
form and serve. Some chop t he trimmings of the 
ham or any other cold meat very tine, and lay them 
between the slices of prepared bread. This is a 
good dish for lunch or evening entertainments. 
Pickled Egos,— Boil the eggs until done; when 
cold Bhell them, and cut them in halves lengthwise; 
lay them carefully in large mouthed jars, and pour 
over them scalding vinegar, well seasoned with 
whole pepper, allspice, a few pieces of ginger and 
a few cloves. When cold tie up closely, and let 
them stand a month. They are then fit for use. 
With cold meat they are a most delicious aud deli¬ 
cate pickle.— Mrs. J. Peck, Low Hampton, ±V. T. 
GROWING SEEDLINGS. 
A correspondent on Put-in-Bay Island, Lake 
Erie, writes that “on an examination of the vines 
on that island, to determine their endurance of the 
cold, about the 2d of March, shows the Catawba 
all right except in some low places; Iona about the 
same os Catawba; Israelis, Rogers 4, Adirondac and 
Allen’s Hybrid buds badly killed; Creveling, Hiue 
and Diana about one-third killed; Delaware as usual 
all sound; Concord next best; Ives and Hartford 
not much injured. 
“ Have planted grape seeds nearly every season 
for twenty years, hoping to get something valuable. 
I thought at first the foreign kiud could be accli¬ 
mated through the seed, and therefore planted 
seeds of the Hamburg, Chasselas, &c., aud also 
seeds of the foreign kinds long cultivated in Cali¬ 
fornia. Some of the vines thna produced were, 
quite hardy iu winter, and produced beautiful and 
excellent fruit for two or three years, after that 
they all mildewed and died without traveling from 
the places where they sprang from seed, and with 
them went all my hopes of any success with foreign 
grapes or their seedlings. I have not much faith in 
crosses with foreign kinds, for I think they will 
generally mildew and fail after bearing a few good 
crops, but by crossing our native varieties 1 hope 
yet to reach my mark, viz., producing a grape as 
large aud fine as the Black Hamburg, and as hardy 
as the Delaware. I have made a great many poor 
shots at this mark, and expect to make a good 
many more, but I mean to keep shooting grape 
seed at it.”

In the report of a Frait Committee of one of the 
leading Horticultural Societies, we read as follows : 
“ II /Mardston's Nonesuch ,—Of the three specimens 
two are Hubbardstou, Oat the third ir more like a 
Baldwin or Jonathan.” 
Comment upon the intelligence of a fruit com¬ 
mittee unable to detect the Baldwin from the Jona¬ 
than applo is all unnecessary with us, for we doubt 
whether the Rural has a reader so ignorant. We 
extract and publish it, however, as an item of ob¬ 
servance for Managers of Agricultural and Horti¬ 
cultural Societies, now about appointing their Com- 
mittce?. The awards of Committees, and the reputa¬ 
tion aud character of Societies, often provoke just 
animadversion because of incompetent Committees, 
and it behooves Managers to study rather the capa¬ 
bilities and knowledge of the men they appoint,, thau 
any popularity they may have as public speakers, or 
dubbed with titles of Judge, Honorable, &e., &c. 
two-thirds grown, 
pupm state. These curculio larva*, come near the 
surface as they are about to change to pup* and 
from the earth as they transform. 
“To dislodge the curculio, it is the belief of some 
persons that severe pounding aud jarring ol' the 
trees is necessary to bring these insects to the 
ground, while just the reverse of this is tho case • 
us any one may learn by approaching the tree cau¬ 
tiously, aud with the thumb gud linger snap the 
base of the limb on which a female curculio is at 
work; at the first jar the insect seems to become 
aware of danger, she immediately starts up aud by 
the time the second or third is felt, she will have 
loosened her hold and depressed her snout upon 
her body, folded her legs and antenna), and dropped 
to the ground. Violent shaking of the trees gen¬ 
erally fails to frighten them, while any decided jar¬ 
ring motion, quickly imparted to the tree, is all that 
is required to briog them down. Various modes 
for destroying these insects annually appear in 
print; ninety-nine out of each hundred are worth 
less than the paper on which they are printed. 
Nearly all the successes so reported are evidently 
made by persons who, having in preceding years 
lost their fruit by being 6tung by this insect, set 
about trying some experiment to head off the cur 
cullo, and are surprised to find their frnit escape 
injury. They at once jump to the conclusion that 
they have hit upon the infallible remedy, and with¬ 
out Iobs of time herald it to the world. If persons 
experimenting were fully acquainted with its habits, 
and the many casualties this insect Is subjected to, 
they would then see how premature it would be to 
give the result of a single season’s experience as 
conclusive of success.

Liquid Grafting Wax.— The following are the in¬ 
gredients and their proportions of an excellent liquid 
grafting wax, which is a durable application for all 
wounds on trees: — One pound resin; one ounce 
beef tallow; one tablespoonfal of spirits of turpen¬ 
tine; five or six ounces alcohol, ninety-live per cent. 
Melt the resin over a slow fire; when melted take it 
off and add the beef tallow, stirring it constantly; 
let it cool down somewhat, mix the spirits of tur¬
