TREE B0RERS.
Two Letters Treating of the Best
Means of Preserving Our Fruit
Trees

Two Letters Treating Of the Best
Means of Preserving Our Fruit
Trees.
The following letters have been
handed us by the Hon. G. Il. Lebold
and should be carefully read and pre-
served by all persons interested in trees
or tree growing:
C. II. LEBoLD,
My Dear Sir:
In treating Of the means TO De
employed against the Flat mead
Borer, one important fact should DE
borne in mind; that the natural breed
ing place of this insect is undoubtedly
in the old decaying trees Of our native
woods, in fact it prefers unhealthy anc
injured trees to those which are thrifty
and vigorous. The species is most
abundantly found on the southwest
side of young apple and ornamental
trees. Sickliness in the tree, injury to
the bark and long and protracted
drouth, predisposes to its attacks. But
there is yet one predisposlng cause
which few people suspect. and that is
reckless saving off of limbs. Many
beautiful trees receive their death
blow by removing large limbs, thus
exposing the bark to sun-scald, and to
attacks of the borer. Please to observe
the following
lst. This very destructive insect
makes its first appearance in the beetle
form the latter end of May, and they
are very numerous during the month
of June. A few will be seen as late as
August.
I'd. They commence laying eggs
during June and July, depositing them
under the scales of the bark, wounded
portions made by bruises and sun
scald, preferring the southwest side OF
the tree.
Sd. They infest only such trees as
are debilitated. Late transplantlng.
protracted drouths, unproductive soil,
neglect in care and cultivation; produce
low condition ST vitality in trees, a
condition sought by the mother of this
species as best adapted to the wants OF
her young.
4th. The larvae cannot survive a
vigorous flow of sap, nor can they en-
dure a continual shade; in the first
condition it browns, and in the second
it weakens and dies.
5th. A wash made of soft soap re-
duced to the consistency of cream by
the addition of a solution OF sal soda,
applied with an old brush, to the trunk
and base of the principal limbs twice
during the month of June and twice
during July.
9Th. Formula: 20 lbs. sifted wood
ashes, 2 lbs. soft soap, / Id. sal soda, 4
gallons of water.
18th. The best remedy is to keep
your trees vigorous, encourage
healthy growth, shade the southwest
side of the trunk. 1t is the rays of the
sun between the hours of one and
three which produce sun-scald.
All wounds caused by the bore1
should be carefully scraped clean, then
wash with carbolic acid; mix equal
parts of stiff clay and cow droppings,
fill UP the wound with this and bind
up with strips of old calico.
If 1 have failed to give you the in
formation you seek, or have failed to
make it clear, write again.
Yours Sincerely,
JOHN w. ROBSON,

HAYS CITY, kaS., April ~.
HON. G. II. LEBoLD,
My Dear Sir:
l am highly pleased with the
letter of my old and valued friend,
J. w. Robson, of your county, on the
Flat Head Borer. 1 deem all OF his
suggestions good, true and to the
point; but you know that Doctors will
disagree in their methods of treatment.
Prevention being so much better than
cure, will attempt a lesson to tree
planters in that line. When planting
young trees either in orchard, park or
street, use such only as are branched
out low; set the heaviest side of the
top to the south, and be sure to have
the lower limb on the south; cultivate
well and prune sparingly. Twice
during each of the three or four first
seasons after planting, once about June
1st and again about August list, 60
through the trees spending about one
half minute to each, pinching off the
end of any branches which are assum-
ing leading character on the north
side, slightly discouraging growth on
this side and somewhat encouraging it
on the south. In this way straight
trees may be grown in the worst loca-
tions, leaving no bare trunk or leaning
trees for the beetle to do its work in.
1t seems to be powerless in the shade,
therefore whenever the top shades the
trunk the tree is comparatively safe,
Probably three-fourths of all the trees
that have been planted in the prairie
States, from carelessness in doing the
work, poor after-culture, and too high
trimming, have been stunted, and the
prevailing southerly winds have turned
their tops little east of north, leaving
the trunk fully exposed on the south
side to the ravages of sun-scald and
the beetle of this Flat Head BoreI
which soon completes the work of de-
struction.
have, however, mended trees quite
badly affected. with this borer, by
using a sprout on the south side OF the
tree growing from its crown, nicely
sloping the top of this sprout with q
sharp knife on the side toward the tres
. and opening the bark of the tree above
the wound and inserting the top of the
sprout and tying 1t fast for a short
time. when it will become united and
carry on the circulation and eventually
help materially TO make a sound tree

The Globe Democrat is authority for
the statement that the commissioner
of the General Land Office says en-
phatically that all sales of town lots in
Oklahoma, by companies or individuals,
are unlawful, and titles can not thus
be obtained. People who may be
tempted to invest in such property
should take account Of this fact, and
devote their money to better uses.

thought that young men should be
brought to the front in politics and re-
vised the old proverb to make it read
Young men for counsel and young

deal of quiet comment throughout the
State. 1t has set men to thinking and
will have much weight in pushing the
younger generations of Kansas to the

What All Mexican Drinks.

The region we passed through is the
center of the pulque region of Mexico.
This road runs a train called the
"pulque train" into the City OF Mexico
every day loaded with barrels aud bot
ties of pulque. These bottles remind
one of the bottles known in Scripture
time. They are made of hogskins. The
skin is stripped from the hog almost
intact, turned inside out, and then with
the legs, tail and throat tied up it is
filled with pulque. The baggage car
of our train is nearly filled with these
uncouth objects, and until We knew
what they were We supposed it was a
load of hogs. As the train stops at
the small stations on the way to Vera
Cruz boys and men rush up TO the bag
gage-car with bottles, pals and demi-
Johns, which are filled from these hog
skins. In the cities the pulque shops
are frequent, and you can always see a
crowd of Mexicans standing before the
bar absorbing the pulque. They drink
| it from large glasses which hold about
quart | am told that when tits fresh
pulque is as sweet as honey, but it fer
ments rapidly and is sour in day OF
| two.-Ftra Cruz Letter.
