This barley was first popularized by
the agricultural experiment station Of

From that point It has spread west to

Seventeen Year Locusts.

In bulletin from the New Jersey
station regarding the II year locusts,
1t is said that these insects appear very
often in different parts of this country,
while others extend over large areas,
because there are a great number of
broods in existence-22 broods in all.
Some of the broods are confined to small
sections of the country, while others ex-
tend over larger areas. There is no
sufficient remedy yet to prevent them
from destroying the fruit trees by pune
turing the twigs. Each brood has to
be studied by itself and an account of
it kept, so that in the spring when they
are to appear the trees can be thorough
ly pruned, and the twigs in which the
eggs are reposing should be burned.
The sparrows are great enemies of the
locusts, and where they are very nu-
merous the locusts do comparatively
little injury TO the trees.

Renewing Old Strawberry Beds.

Here is al easy and popular way for
renewing the strawberry bed if it is not
too old: Manure and dig the spaces be-
tween the rows of old plants, making the
soil loose, rich and friable. Also top
dress the old rows with some quick act
ing fertilizer. When these plants begin
to send out runners, guide them into the
clean rich soil between the old rows, and
when this is well Allied with young plants
dig the old rows entirely under.

regularly. 1t is juicy and sweet and OF
fair quality, even before ripe. Anjou is
a splendid winter pear, but the fruit is
liable to blow off before it is ripe. For
