A Wash for Trees.

Solomon Jewett, one of the most noted
farmers Of Vermont, writes to the New York
World: "Apply wash of lime to the bodies
OF the trees. 1t will save them from the at
tack of many pest which domicils in the
bark and sap-wood. You will find that the
old bark will fall of, leaving smooth, fresh.
healthy wood on the surface. 1t is also
good preventive from the attacks of the sew
erai species of borer. Be careful to wash
very close to the ground and upwards.
Tar is not advisable. Do not apply it to the
bark of any growing tree; it is common but
bad practice. Tar penetrates the sap-wood,
checks the growth of bark at the point at
which it binds the tree, and checks the cir
culation up and down where applied, In
1926 used barrel of tar, with brush run
ming band around each tree. While chop.
ping down the old trees afterwards / saw the
effects. The bark and sap.wood were COL
ored, and the body was smaller under the
belt of tar. That year I assisted in DESTROY
ing at least go bushels of "forest worms.,'
much resembling the common nest apple
tree worm. Our trees were saved from ruin,
and bore much fruit, while the surrounding
orchards stood leaaess and much injured,
A long, cold storm was pending, while the
worm in chrysalis was housed in his cocoon
that year, by the million. A long rain and
severe chill killed them off at that early stage.
Orchards and forests of maple trees have moi
been materially injured since by this species
of worm.

Ivy.

Ivy will succeed better in our warm. drv
rooms, than any other plant, and all that is
needed to make it attractive is the exercise of a
little ingenuity in the appliances for its home.
A vase, not necessarily costly by any means,
will answer good purpose; and this reminds
us of an excellent idea that we lately noticed
in foreign periodical for growing this yery
plant. Long shoots of the ivy were procured.
with the young and tender aerial roots very
abundant. The lower ends were wrapped in
moss, and then some five or six of these we're
lightly tied together at the bottom and placed
in the vase. Fill the vase within few inches
of the top, and suspend the ball of moss with
in. The roots will soon commence to grow, and
afterwards the moss should not quite reach the
water as the roots will extend down into it, and
prove all-sufficient.
So many different varieties of ivy are now in
cultivation, that by selecting kinds that will
form decided contrast, in shape and color
the effect will be sensibly heightened. The
center of the vase may be filled with cut flow
ers, OF grasses, or nothing would look prettier
than ferns. The ivy may be allowed to hang
down over the sides of the vase in graceful fes-
toons, or else trained and placed over and
around the window. thus making room ap-
parently cheerful and pleasant all winter long.
1t will not grow quite so well in strong light
as when partially shaded, as the iyy loves
shade and an even, cool atmosphere 1t can be
planted in tubs and trained up a stairway, thus
forming mass OF green foliage from the hall
below to the floor above
Used in any way fancy directs. it is excel
lent as house plant A convenient way to
grow a small ivy is to fill small fish globe
with clean rain water, putting in the bottom
some tiny shells and gay colored stones for or
naments; place in this slip of parlor ivy and
suspend the globe by three small brass chains.
which may be bought at any hardware store.
This may hang from the window cornice or
any other place where the light is not too
strong. By filling up with fresh water as fast
as it evaporstes, YOU may sustain the life of
ivy through the whole winter. In replenishing
the water add three drops of ammonia to it
