they are found on elm or apple trees where 
they do considerable damage. Like the can¬

EXPLANATION. 
The reports of fairs will, for a few weeks, 
necessarily interfere with the literary depart¬ 
ments of the paper. We ask indulgence for 
the limited allowance of space.

make the following announcement: On Sep¬

NOTES. 
We ARE contemplating for the next Chil¬ 
dren’s Seed Distribution the sending out of a 
package of seed (varieties yet to be selected) 
to each member of the club, and for the best 
yield from the seed sent a prize will be offered. 
As there are probably some members of the 
elub whose names arc yet on ovir list who 
have changed their residence, or who may no 
longer be interested in us, I propose to revise the 
list, or rather begin a new one. Now, note 
carefully what I say! Ev< ry boy or girl who 
wishes to become a member of the Rural 
Horticultural Club and share in its Seed Dis¬ 
tributions when made, and who will agree to 
write to Uncle Mark at least twice a year, 
and as much oftener as they desire, may now 
send in their names and addresses, which will 
be at once enrolled. This must be done imme¬ 
diately in order to secure a share in the Seed 
Prize. Those who were previously members 
of the Club must send in their names as well 
as those who were not; and this revised list 
will be published in 1882, and thereafter an¬ 
nually. 
It is thought best to hold our “ Club Dis¬ 
cussions ” but onoe a month, so that the next 
one, on Orchard Fruits, will be published in 
the Rural for Nov. 5. However, lot all 
respond early. The more the merrier! 
We have been obliged to sacrifice much of 
our department to pressing matter this week.

LIME TREE WINTER MOTH. 
(See page 701 for illustration.) 
It is often said that if any wild plant be 
taken and by patient cultivation made to 
beautify the home of man or contribute to his 
wants, it is attacked by a host of insects and 
other foes that had never before preyed upon 
«b. While investigation does not prove the 
saying to he strictly t rue, still a survey of the 
different insects that feed upon any one of 
our cultivated plants, would seem to show 
thatitisso. Take, for instance, the apple tree. 
In the seventh ILlinois State Entomologist's 
Report no less than 23 different species of 
caterpillars, or larv® of butterflies and moths, 
are enumerated as feeding upon this tree, 
either on the leaves or the fruit, to say nothiug 
of the numerous beetles that bore its trunk or 
fruit, or the other orders of insects that live 
on some parts of the tree. The insect named 
at the head of this article, the Lime Tree Win¬ 
ter Moth (Hybemia Tiharia) is not one of the 
23, but one more that may be added to that 
list. 
The Lime Tree Winter Moth is related to the 
canker worms, in that its habits are not unlike 
those of the Fall canker worm that is the most, 
common in the northern portion of the Uuit- 
rather their wings are rudimentary, not al¬ 
lowing them to fly. The male is of a rusty 
buff or nankeen color with thin wings that 
expand about two inches. The fore-wings 
have two wavy, brown lines crossing them, 
the inner one sometimes being faint. The fe¬ 
male is grayish or yellowish-white, sprinkled 
with fine black dot*, and two rows of black 
spots down the back. The body is about half 
an inch long. 
The moths hatch in the Fall, and. after pair¬ 
ing, the females deposit the eggs in little clus¬ 
ters on the trunk and branches of the trees. 
These remain in this condition till about 
the time the leaves are ready to expand 
in the Spring, when they hatch and feed up¬ 
on the yoimg leaves very much like the can¬ 
ker worms. They are larger than the latter 
and of a different color. When full-grown 
they are about inch long, of a "bright- 
yellow color, with ten crinkled, black lines 
along the top of the back, the head rust-col¬ 
ored.” The eggs hatch a little later than the 
eggs of the canker worm, and the worm is a 
little longer in coming to maturity. As soon 
as it has attained its growth, it lets itself to 
the ground by a web, goes down five or six 
inches beneath the surface where it forms for 
itself a little cell and changes to a chrysalis. 
It remains in this stage till the last of October 
or the first of November "when the moth 
emerges and makes provision for another 
brood; very often, however, some do not 
hatch until Spring. 
From the description it will be seen that 
the habits of this insect arc very much like 
those of the Fall canker worms, and, as might 
be inferred, the same remedies may be resorted 
to in case they attack the apple trees. To pre¬ 
vent the eggs being deposited in the tiroes, 
tin or building-paper bands or whatever else is 
used, must be applied in the Fall. If the 
pests are found in the trees in the Spring, 
Paris-green in water thrown upon the tree 
with a garden syringe will destroy them. 
Probal ly this is one of the best remedies, as 
it kills all worms that eat the leaves sprinkled 
with it. If apples are growing thereon at 
the time, it might not be safe to use this, as 
it might become lodged about the stem and 
render the apples unfit for use. 
The cut accompanying this, Fig. 493, gives a 
very good idea of this insect and its work, 
representing the male with the wings expanded, 
the female below, and the larvae in different 
stages of growth on the leaves.

Adams Direct-Draft Barn Horse-Power. 
This power, brought out some years ago, 
has been greatly improved and perfected 
lately, and was exhibited in operation at the 
Michigan State Fail' where it attracted a great 
deal of attention. As will be seen by the illus¬ 
tration, the jiower consists of a wooden wheel, 
hinged through the middle, suspended horizon¬ 
tally upon an upright shaft about three feet 
eight inches from the floor. The horse works 
inside the wheel. The shaft turns with the 
wheel; its upper end runs through a plank on 
the scaffold and a pin in the lower end works 
in a box on the floor. There is but little fric¬ 
tion and but little oiling to be done on any part 
of the power. It takes up ouiy twelve feet of 
room, and is especially adapted to the farmer 
who has feed to cut or grind, wood to saw, 
corn to shell or anything where a good, desir¬ 
able one or two horse power is needed. It is 
simple and durable and, as it requires no me¬ 
chanical skill, fanners need not fear to let their 
hired man or Loy run it. When not in use, it 
of this device: When used in connection with a 
drag or harrow it is very effective in leveling, 
crushing and pulverizing cloddy and roughly 
plowed ground. It is de by fastening a 2x 
4-inch scantling underneath, and about the 
center of the harrow. Fastened firmly and 
unyieldingly it seems more effective than when 
cut in two in the middle. On top of the har¬ 
row put a weight, such as a rail or fence post, 
to keep it close to the work. This does not 
seem to add to the draft, and there is no clog¬ 
ging on strawy, corn-stubbly or cloddy 
ground; and the drag seems at least one-half 
more efficient with than without the device— 
quite an item in a busy time.—(See page 700.
