Fruit culture requires intelligence and

worst enemies TO fruit growing Is the borer,

In time. Take long, sharp pointed wire,

to destroy him Is to give him a dose oi

that on your trees, and when the caterpil-

Put sheep or hogs in your orchards where
they eat up the little apples that contain the
