Fruit Tree Borers.

Twice a year, in June and September
borers in fruit trees should be looked for
says an exchange. This is the proper
practice, and if faithfully done no one
need lose trees through damage the borer
may DO The borer comes from eggs
laid in the ground close to the bark of the
tree in July and August. When Matched
tine grub bOres into the bark of the tree,
making a track of sawdust as it goes,
which indicates where to search for it.
In September, and later, the search
should be kept up, so as to dislOdge it as
soon as its work commences. When
borers are overlooked in the fail it makes
a deal of work in the spring. If their
make but little trouble, as,
with stiff wire and knife
they could be dislOdged; but any one
who has hunted for them will know how
tortuous is their path. in fact it is impos-
sible to get them out then and when this
happens, young trees become so honey
combed that they blow over and break off
where they have been bored With a
going over in spring TO see if evidences
exist of any having been overlooked in
the fall, none should escape Where it
is possible to keep the earth mounded an
inch or two about the trunks, doing it in
the spring, it is a good plan. The grubs
enter the bark as a rule an inch below the
ground. so that by hOeing away the earth
a little when the time comes to look for
them, they can be got at with more ease
than if the work was below the surface
In regard to preventing the bOrer,
there is but little doubt that strong
washes in the soil about the trunk are dis
tasteful to them. 1t is a fact that in
country farm house yards, where dish
water from the kitchen finds its way to
ounce, peach, apple, and trees visited by
borers, they are rarely molested by them.
Urine from the stable would doubtless be
a good thing to use While being dis
tasteful to the borer it would stimulate
the trees. Salt, thickly applied, has been
recommended, and it would be likely to
prove effectual Where it is impossible
to apply these possible preventives, and
even where they are applied the trees
should be looked over twice a year 1t
takes but little time, and makes the case
sure. With a garden trowel, knife and
bit of wire. a man can get through with
a good-sized orchard in a day, when the
work has been well done the year before.

DIR. cARvER's CLOSE CALL.

From the Louisville CourIcrJ0uuaL

"A thrilling experience of DIR w. r.
Carver, iu the unsettled part of Miuuc-
sofa, while trapping with a comrade
named Brewster They caught some
Indians robbiug their traps and fired upon
them with effect. For TWO months after
this they were forced 90 play hide-aud-
seek with members of the band of In
dians. They had "dugout" in
little valley and felt secure i'm
this against a reasonable number of the
foe. Late one evening Carver was alone in
the dug-out making biscuits. He had
thrown all his weapons aside, and with
sleeves rolled up was working the dough
when a shadow was cast from the en-
trance of the little cave. Thnkingit was
his comrade, he said Hello partner, you
are back soon In guttCral tones came
the reply, How Koola,' and turning he
saw three Indians. White Antelope,
Whistler and Fat Bear, all well-known
chiefs. They had noticed that he was

ready for baking and placing a beaver s
tail on the fire. Then he started for some
wood, indicating by signs that wood was
needed, Whistler motioned him to re
main, and White Antelope went after the
fuel He brought with others one stick
about the length and size of a base ball
bat. Carver placed one end of this in
the fire upon a buffalo skin. The Indians
began to eat in manner which made
Carver, Notwithstanding his danger,
gTieve for the biscuits which were so rap
idly disappearing.
Realizing the fate which awaited him
as soon as the supper could be disposed Of,
Carver was devising some means for
reaching one Of his pistols, which were
not many feet distant. Making a pre-
tense of stirring the fire, he drew out the
blazing stick of wood, dealt one of the In
dians a stunning blow on the face, gave the
second a vicious kick and leaped over the
third, who was dazed by the flying sparks
and suddenness of the attack. The next
instant Carvers pistol rang out three
times as rapidly as a skilled hand could
pull the trigger, and the three Indians as
speedily became good Indians, for they
were dead Indians.

a number of forage crops with the follow,
ing results per acre: Large African mil
let, %, 232 pounds; pearl millet, 81, DDS

white milo maize, 1924 pounds; Egyp.
tian wheat, IA, 1868 pounds; Kaffir corn,

pounds; Egyptian rice corn, Z, 1892 pounds
desmodium MOLE (beggarveed), 10, 32C
pounds; early amber sorghum, 1,40O
pounds
These all cured well and furnish an ex-
cellent fodder, particularly when cut up
with a machine into small pieces. Stock
are particularly fond Of the "beggarweed''
and ate it in preference to all others.
Many of these plants are also valuable for
the large quantity of seed which they
bear. These seeds pronounced the equal
of corh by many, were harvested here by
the ubiquitous English sparrow and
therefore no record can be made of their
value.

Horticultural Notes.

Fruit trees should not be permitted to
overbear. If too full, instead of propping
the limbs up, thin the fruit it will e
larger and better.
A spraying machine has now been in-
vented and put into operation which takes
water and kerosene at the same time
without previous mixing.
A writer says that ground bones are
about the best grape fertilizer Stable
manure is apt to produce TO rank and late
a growth and induce winter killing of
the tender wood. But all grape manur-
ing should be attended with clean cult
walton.
After the trees have made a good start
to grow, says a writer, a cOnsidera bic saw
ing in pruning in the future may be avoid
ed by giving to every tree during the
next month and while the wood is soft a
rubbing OFF with the thum b fingerany extra
unnecessary growth that may have start
ed up. Through work in this way will
often avoid the necessity of removing

The Rotting of Potatoes.

AT the Indianapolis meeting of Scienti-
fic agriculturists, Prof Burrell, in the
course of a paper on THE Rotting of Pc
tatoes, said 1t has long been known
that fungus Peronospora) is one of the
destructive agents in the rOtting of pota-
to tubers. Bacteria have been noted as
present in the disOrganized tissue masses,
but they have rarely been supposed to be
active agents in the disOrganiNng process
itself. At least they have not been cred
tied with being the primary cause. Great
numbers of bacteria of different kinds
have been observed in decaying potatoes,
especially in such as become moist and
SOFT and emitted an offensive odOr. An
examination of such deCaYing tubers of
the present summer revealed the fact
great numbers, but also showed an
absence of anything else to which
this decay could be attributed. Further
and more critical tests led to the same
conclusion. Besides the evidence of di
rect observation with the best micrOsCop-
iCal appliances, cultures were made in diff
ferent ways to develop into visibility any
thing and everything having the power
of growth in the affected tissues. From
all the evidence it appears that a certain
species of bacteria was the potential fac
tor in the rots referred to. Separating
this particular species by pure culture s
conclusively proved that this bacterium,
unaided and unattended by any thing
else whatever, was capable of causing the
disagreed BILE and destructive changes OBJ
served, reducing the potatoes to a loath-
some mass of ill-scented corruption. This
organism would no doubt be identified by
many as the bacterium termO. The only
remedy suggested is to carefully pick over
and examine seed potatoes.

Talk About Small Fruits.

If the old strawberry plantation has be-
come weedy, which is invariably the
case, it is a good plan to cut the weeds
and tall grass off about even with the
tops of the plants says the Western
Rural. Thus it is prevented from going
to seed and also lets the sunshine pen
citrate the plants, ripening the fruit
more perfectly and preventing it from
decaying in wet weather.
Now is the time to commence pinching
back the new growth of the raspberry.
Just as soon as they reach three feet
pinch off the ends of the canes. This
strong. Some pinch back when two feet
high The new growth of those plants
which were set this spring should be
pinched back when one foot high pair
of shears it very handy to do the work
with and does it we'll Stir the soil well
about small fruits. SuMace culture is
best; we do not cultivate strawberries
until through berrying. Raspberries can
be worked right up till bearing time If
worked shallow and it will be beneficial
to them, especially in time of drouth.
To be a success asa hOrticulturist means
diligence, patience, pluck and love for
the work. 1t is pleasant vocation. 1t
is like everything else in this world hav-
ing its drawbacks but it has many at
fractions other things lack. Most fruit
growers are enthusiastic, they have much
to make them so. There is a pardonable
pride in producing fine luscious fruits,
taking the possibilities which God has
placed in nature and bringing them up to
nigh their fitness. We have much to
learn. Let us help each other. We have
much to enjoy, let us accept it thankfully.
We have our discouragements, let US
stand them bravely, profting by them.
1t is always pleasant thing to see men
rise, phoenix like from disappointment
and regain footing. l like to grow fruit
and like to eat It also. / like to sell it
and see others enjoy it, and want to in
0uce more farmers to plant small fruits.

A Petriiied Body.

The Juniata Star says that about
five years ago Minnie Wetzler, ofnear
Centre, Clinton county, aged about
IS years, took ill of pneumonia and
after severe struggle her spirit
passed into the better land, and her
remains were buried in the grave
yard close to Centre church. A
short time ago the body was lifted
and placed in the Dunkard cemetery
near Van Vert, where Mr.. Wetzler
had secured a family lot. When
Mr. Christian Lantz, who superin-
tended the work, took hold of the
rough coffin he found it to be cx.
ceedingly heavy, and after further
handling it was discovered that the
body had been entirely petrifed.
1t was now solid stone of a beauti,
ful gray color and in all respects as
natural as the day when buried
