The Pecan Tree and It's Insect Ene-
mics

In November, 1885, bought from S. W
Peek. Hartwell, Ga, 100 2-year-old pecan
trees. planted them on my place al
Isle OF Hope and they all grew finely, par
| ticularly one Of them which l named R. r.
Cuyler on account of the central position il
occupied in the grove. This tree is now
eighteen feet high and six inches in diameter
at base Of trunk.
Ipaid no especial attention to the trees
but planted vegetables in the rows, and the
cultivation the ground thus received
proves to have been the best that
| could have been given, as all the trees
have grown well, except one row planted
along hard roadway and footpath. These
trees In this row having received but little
manure or plowing are great deal smaller
than the others.
My first mistake was In having planted
the trees too closely together in rows thirty
feet apart and twenty feet distant in the
row. They should have been thirty-five or
forty feet each way.
Another mistake was to plant out among
them 100 Kelsey Japan plums in the middle
Of the rows. This was wrong for two rea
sons-it crowded the pecan trees already
suffering for room, ana perhaps the plums-
grated by Berckmans on peach stock-in-
troduced or contributed toward the intro
duction Of the insect enemies OF which /
propose to write.
In March 1890 noticed that several of the
smaller pecan trees seemed to have been
killed by the freeze we had at that time
when the fruit trees were also in full blossom
aud foliage. | supposed, though, they
would leaf out again late in the season, but
as summer advanced, and no signs Of re-
newed life appearing. 1 took hold OF one of
them and gave it a shake and it broke in
two, the two-inch trunk of the tree was all
bored through the center from the ground
up, the life sapped out by borer.
find on examination that even now the
work is going on among the larger trees.
discovered hole about an eighth of an
inch in diameter i'll the body of the tree
about two inches from the ground-some-
times higher.
fhis insect is very destructive, owing to
its presence not being suspected.
Another destructive insect has made its
appearance in the past year. Last summer
noticed several of the branches broken off
and attributed it to boys shooting through
the trees or the carelessness of the plowman.
Examination Of the branches showed,
though, that the cut was as clean and
smooth as though cut around with knife
or pruning shears some time. l saw two
grand old pecan trees on a neighboring
place that were cut to pieces, the ground be-
ing covered under the trees with small
limbs.
mad read that the pecan was subject to
the depredations Of the wire worm" and
the "girdler." but that after the trees grew
older their ravsges would cease.
Now we see the young trees exposed TO
two enemies. one within, Boring the life aud
sap out of the heart, and the other without,
saving off its limbs.
would be pleased to have others who
have planted pecan trees give their expert
ence-also those who can explain the name
and nature of these insects and suggest
such remedies as will save the trees from
their ravages. f. II. THOMSON.

How Gardening Affects the Mind.

The taste for gardening is inculcated in
almost every human heart, says d. II.
Gould in Southern CuLtiUdtor. There are
people without it as there are people devoid
of a sense of smell or of sight To wish to
own a portion of the earth's surface and TO
dig comes to O maD at some portion Of mis-
life. aud is apt to demand satisfaction.
Gardening is q thoughtful pursuit, and is
an impulse of maturity rather than Of
youth.
Gardening gratifes the thoughtful mind
ipsomuch thatit watches for results that are
not immediate; it inculcates patience not
only with processes, but results, for
schemes fail and disappointments have to
be met. To combat them requires perse-
verance, fertility in resources and prompt
ness.
Many a king has turned from the cares
and psrils Of power - TIL Ia peace his little

A correspondent writes: II see in your
paper frequently the question asked: How
to destroy ground molesP The only way is
to stick a spade down straight across their
path as they are going aud they will always
turn right around and take their back track.
Just as soon as you can take up the spade
stick it down in front Of them again. Turn
ing up the dirt quickly you will then have the
mole without fail. Slap it with the back of
the spade and kill it. No other way in the
world can they be taken"

II the farmers of Georgia gave Just one
half the consideration TO poultry keeping

of eggs and fowls there would be in this
state. Can it be said that, as a class, they
give the subject one-fourth the attention
that it merits? What a hap-hazard busi-
ness it is with large number Of farmers.
IL is true all keep more or less poultry, but
how little care is given to the management
OF the fowls toward making them do the
very best possible. If every one-horse
farmer kept under the best system Of man
agement even twenty-five hens-a number
that he certainly should keep-what show

The climate OF Georgia is in
the highest degree adapted to
the industry. With little trouble green
food can be provided for the fowls the year
round. Oats or barley patches started in
September, together with the collard and
turnip patches can afford as much green
food as the summer fields. More OF less in

The active participation Of the king
dom OF Holland at the worlds fair is
now an assured fact. Hon. Walker
Fcarn, chief of the department of for.
cign affairs, has received letter from
Hon. Samuel Thayer. on the subject
from the legation of the Omitted States at
The Hague, in which the authorities of
the Columbian exposition are informed
that royal order appeared in the Of
fetal Gazette, of June o., announcing
the appointment of the following com
mission as representative of the Neither
lands government at the Columbian ex-
position: NJ. Meos, b. Herdring, G. NJ.
Boissevain, Mr.: Swan Citters, G. Birll-
hoff, Jr. These are all men of prom
inence and actively interested in the
success of the exposition. An early
meeting of the commissioners will be
held at the United States legation.
The Netherlands government has de-
clined for years all invitations of the
character from other nntiors, even
from such near neighbors as France and
Belgium, and only through the in
fucnce of persistent pressure was Hol-
land finally brought to concede an ex-
hibition to the Columbian worlds fair
Through the cooperation of an or

luential people in Amsterdam and
other parts of the kingdom n consider
able sim of money has been raised to be
used in the construction Of special
building at the fair. to be built in
various styles of architecture, ancient
and modern. The exhibit to be made
at the Holland headquarters will be
enthusiastically Dutch, and it is the
attention to Illustrate the life and sur
roundings of the Dutch people. 1t is
intended, if possible, to create a canal
running through the center of the space
allotted with ample scope for exhibits
on either side, and in connection there
with Dutch dairy showing their
PROCESS of butter and cheesemalking,
together with rare specimens of Dutch
cattle, etc. The Holland commission
will make application for the. necessary
space to make this exhibit, and it is
quite likely that the consul of the
Netherlands government at Chicago
and one other commissioner may DO
delegated TO act for the royal commits
sion in this matter. While some menu.
bers Of the commission. are designated

pledged their active cooperation in the.
development and maintenance Of an.
