HINTS FOR GARDENERS.

When an early crop has matured, have
another ready to take its place
busting white hellebore over the foil
age will stop the currant worm.
The best work in fighting insect pests
is done when they first make their ap-
pearance.
It is a safe rule not to expect or allow a
tree to bear more fruit than its branches
will sustain.
In fighting the curcuio on the plum
the trees should be Jared daily in order
to make thorough work.
It is safe plan at all times and under
all conditions to cut away any dead. de-
caying or diseased wood.
To have pigs in the orchards not only
good for the pigs, but also good for the
trees, provided there is good pasturage.
An economical and easy remedy for
many Of the ailments and enemies of
fruit trees is good application Of wood
ashes.
For the codling moth on the apples
spray as soon as the fruit has set, using
pound of paris green to 100 gallons of
water.
It is possible to manure too much
while the tree is growing but after it
comes into bearing manure can be APP
piled without stint.
A good rule with young orchard is
to keep in with some cultivated or hoed
crop during the first five years after
planting, manuring thoroughly mean
while, and then seed down to clover.
With many garden vegetables, by
making successive paintings two or
three weeks apart, supply can be had
through the growing season and until
hard frost in the fall.-St Louis Repub-
