Isn’t that a preventive rather than a remedy, 
and what of that already here ? 
We are told to spray apple trees with Paris- 
green to kill the grubs of the apple moth, but 
that “would poison the grass under the trees 
for awhile,” says Mr. Olcott. Of c-ourse it 
would. Let us unite to frown down the use of 
Paris-green. It is bad enough to use it to ex-

Mr. C. M. Hovey says, in the Massachu¬ 
setts Ploughman, that wo have all seen with 
astonishment the wonderful'progressin the im¬ 
provement of the> grupe, and lie has no doubt 
of the remarkable qualities and superiority of 
these new varieties. But, wo thought that Mr. 
Hovey deemed the Concord the best grape. 
What “wonderful progress" does he refer to f 
The Rural had more to do with the intro¬ 
duction of the Manchester Strawberry than 
all the rest of the rural papers put together. 
The reason was that we tested it when it was 
first known, and found it to be firm, extreme¬ 
ly productive, bright red and of fair quality. 
Several years of trial over the country prove 
the trustworthiness of the Rural’s opinion. 
The only thing that can be said against it is 
that it bears imperfect flowers... 
The “carp craze’ 1 is said to have cost the 
tax-payers of this country a million dollars 
thus far, and “ more to come.” The Tribune’s 
agricultural editor remarks that “that’s one 
way the money goes.” The Rural has o2 of 
these carp to show for it—at least they were 
put in the little lake of the Rural Grounds. 
But there is very little mud in the bottom aud 
the water is entirely from spriugs, so that we 
do not expect to he able to show carp weigh¬ 
ing 2(1 pounds or so each by next Spring!. 
The Santa Rosa (Cal.) Democrat, in a re¬ 
cent number, advises planting prunes largely 
for drying purposes, giving instances of very 
large profits, and as this is being very largely 
copied by Eastern papers, we wish to call at¬ 
tention to it and warn our readers against 
going largely into prune growing. Prunes
