I 1 suggested that for tile the next six months a few of them should be sacrificed in each ward of this city and the contents of their craws or crops be inspected ins teddo to learn if they are friends to chepec the g gardner a adner or to the destructive wor worms ms and moths an from england maintains that they devour the codling moth with a relish I 1 trust uis is true it c can an however be easily determined b by opening the crop as I 1 suo sug suggested ested an and by carefully examining the tete contents and noting the diff different erent kinds of food contained therein the birds should be killed in the evening and the examinations made before the food is digested some maintain that codling moths do not go abroad till after nightfall bu but t this is a mistake for it is well known to close observers that they commence flying about four pm POPl ARSAND otiler OTHER SOFT WOODS it is true that all soft woods are subject to the ravages of different kinds of greatly disfigure and finally destroy them as shade trees years however pass before they become wholly useless they are very fast growers and before the old trees are destroyed by worms younger ones can be planted between the old ones which h will 1 I 11 amply amp repay all trouble and ana expense in the liei inel fuel fuei they produce now is the time of year to cut off the sprouts and superfluous limbs and to stick them into wet ground in which they rapidly take root and soon become trees large enough for transplanting all admit that the lombardy and canada poplars and arid weeping willows are beautiful trees and should be more mor e extensively cultivated some urge that the lombardy Lomba rdv does docs not nol spread enough for shade but if put near enough say six or seven feet a apart art they wilt make more shade iu iti tw the same number of years than any other tree now is the time to thickly stud the sides of every enclosed water ditch with slips from the prid limbs of these trees andina and in a very short period you will have trees for home use and for sale which in this city now cost 40 cents apiece A na M 31 pless bless ant AXT nully rine RISE baitty BENJAMIN utah county march 21 1883
