especially around the core. 1t is impos-
sible to raise perfect fruit on trees with
leaves covered with fungus or riddled by
insects.
Fortunately, the fruit-grower is not
obliged to apply a separate preventive or
remedy for every species Of insect or
fungi that infest his fruits or trees.
There are two insecticides that, intelli-
gently applied, will destroy nearly, or
quite, every insect that can be reached
by them. Most of the insects injurious
to fruits take their food by biting and
chewing il. These can be poisoned by
Paris green or some other of the arse
mites. A few species, aphides, or lice,
take their food in liquid form, by in
serting their beaks into leaf or bark and
sucking the sap. These can be destroyed
by external application Of liquid that
will close pores and suffocate them.
Kerosene emulsion is the insectlcide
most commonly used to spray this class
Of insects. By timely and thorough ap-
pIication Of these two insecticides nearly
every injurious insect that is not pro-
tected by scales, webs or nests, so as to
be inaccessible to insecticides, can be
destroyed. Those insects that protect
themselves with a covering Of leaves
drawn around, leaf rollers, etc, are
rather difficult to reach with the insecti-
cides, but, inasmuch as most Of them
go forth from their covering some time
during the day or night to feed upon the
leaves, there is chance for many Of
them to swallow more or less of the
poison.
The most common fungicide is the
Bordeaux mixture, and it is very fortu-
nate that this fungicide and the leading
insecticide (Paris green) can be mixed
and applied at the same time. This will
save a great deal of work, and, in ordi-
nary seasons, three or four thorough
sprayings will protect against both fungi
and insects. Where heavy, beating
showers are frequent it may be neces-
sary to spray more. Grant that it adds
to the cost Of fTuit-growing to spray all
the fruit trees several times in a season.
yet when the requisite spraying machin-
cry is once procured, and the best way
Of using it learned, the cost of spraying
is small, much smaller than the in
creased receipts caused by spraying
Therefore would advise all fruit-grow-
ers to spray, and spray early.-Platt G.
Reynolds.

Grinding Corn and Cob.

There has been a good deal of discus
sion and some experimenting with re-
gard to grinding the corn and cObs to-.
gether as food for cattle and horses. It
is claimed that the cob has very little
or no nutritive qualities, but 1t Is also
said that clear corn makes too rich
feed and that 1t is absolutely necessary
that some coarse or lighter food should
be given in connection with the corn
meal. 1t seems to be conceded that the
corn meal is more thoroughly digested
when mixed with some coarser food,
and the cob when ground furnishes this
aid to the digestion. Those who have
tried it claim that an ideal ration is
made by grinding the corn and stalks
and leaves together, and machines have
been specially made for doing this work.
1t takes about four times as much power
to grind the corn and Cobs together
as it does to grind the clear corn

A Good Sod.

Grass makes sod; sod rots and forms
humus; humus makes soils fertile; fer
tility brings profitable crops; heavy
crops bring the largest net cash returns;
cash pays Off mortgages, buy improved
machinery and stock, erects new build
ings, buys books and papers, educates
the children, and gives comfort and
plenty in declining years.
1t has long been known that florists
and propagators Of plants considered
rotted sods the best fertilizer for the
crops which they grow. 1t has slowly
daWned upon the American farmer that
what is best for the florist may also be
best for him who produces vegetables,
grain, milk and meat. A good, thick
sod is the best and the cheapest fer
tilizer before the American farmer of
to-day.
To secure a good sod several things
are requisite. The soil should be well
and carefully prepared for the reception
of the seed By this is meant thor
oughly plowed and then cultivated un-
til all clOds are broken and the particles
are fine and mellow, as is seen in a
good garden soil.
To produce good sod it Is necessary
to have a good catch of the seed, and
to have a good catch some fertility is
necessary. If the soil is rich, no fer
tilizers are needed; il it is thin, fer
tilizers must be added to start the young
plants. No fertilizer is better for this
purpose than barnyard manure.
Beyond any doubt, the place to apply
fertilizers for grass is on the surface
Applied here the young plants are able
to reach 1t at the very beginning of their
growth, when they most need It, II
plowed under they perish before their
rootlets can find the food needed. Ma
nure goes down rapidly at the best.
To secure good sod one should SOW
good seed. II weed seeds are present
they may destroy the best efforts of the
farmer Good seed is to be had Of
dealers who have regulations to sus-
tain.
The thinner the SOIL and the more
poorly prepared, the more seed will be
needed. Rich soil and good preparation
lessen the amount of seed needed From
four to six, or even eight, quarts Of
clover seed, and from one to two quarts

Farmers Boys.

An instance Of forming, with reason,
a dislike for farming is in mind, and
wish to relate it for the benefit OF the
boys and those who are raising them.
The oldest son Of neighboring farmer,
never rugged (but the father was), had
to work to his full capacity as he grew
up. He was never lazy nor lacking in
interest relating to his fathers bust
ness therefore, he did not shirk.. The
father took pains to develop his judg-
ment, by calling it out whenever oppor-
tunities occurred.
The boy grew up, earning good wages,
which went into his fathers pocket till
he became of age His start in business
for himself was a horse and suit of
clothes, the former to carry and the
latter to cover an unsound body. The
boy was not apt in books, and therefore
did not tease his father to attend school.
OF course, good education was not a
part of his outfit on leaving home. He
was fitted only to engage in the work
no had learned by toll. He hired out
by the month, but did not pass pleas
ant season on account of his poor
health. Going into nearby village,
he applied for lighter work, but a. lack
of schooling stood in the way. His
father encouraged him in the search,
saying that If he could find any other
work it would probably be lighter than
farming; that farming is hard business
at best. 1t will be seen that the father
tried to extinguish in the boy the last
spark Of love for farming.
A look at the conditions under which
the boy and father had always worked
will show some important points. The
home farm contains forty acres, and an
other containing twice as much land
lay on hill one mile distant. The
travel required in going to and from
the hill farm was very great, but the
condemning item was that it was done
when they should have been eating or
resting. Thus their meals were taken
at irregular intervals, and the muscles
were used when there was little to give
them strength but the constitution.
Meals taken when the system was ia
tigued with labor No hired hand ex-
cept in the busiest seasons. A mortgage
to be paid, and potatoes must be raised
to meet 1t. The heavy handling fell
largely on the boy. guess the mort
gage is nearly or quite paid, but not
in way that pays in the highest sense.
The boy will not be farmer, IL he can
avoid 1t. A big farm and big mort
gage (death grip) fastened to II IN a

of timothy per acre, are the varying
amounts which varying conditions de-
mand when sown together.
Timothy is commonly sown with the
winter grain in the autumn. Glover In
the spring, in March or April Glover
catches best II sown when the ground is
made open by frost, or just before a
rain or snow, to carry It into the earth.
EARLY sowing Is to be preferred always
to late sowing.
The best grass of all is no grass at
all; |. e., the clovers are not grasses, but
belong, all Of them, to the bean family.
They are best because the hay which
they produce contains the most animal
food. They are best because when fed
clover hay will make the richest ma
nure. They are best because the clover
plant collects great amount of fertility
and makes a sod Of much greater value.

Spraying Fruit Trees.

To have spraying prove Of the highest
utility, it is necessary to begin with both
insecticides and fungicides, with the
swelling of the buds, and repeat the
operation three or four times during
the season. There are quite a number
of insects that pass the winter in their
pupa cases on the branches of the trees
near the buds, and when few warm
days of spring appear leave their cases
and, crawling into the swelling buds,
begin devouring the tender leaves or
blossoms. Among these early insects
are the bud worms, at least five species
of leaf-rollers, crumplers, folders, tyers
and sewers, the white-marked tussock
moth, the apple tree (or pistol case
bearer, and these are very soon followed
by the tent caterpillar and the canker-
worm. Then come along after the bios
SONS fall, the coddling moth (the prime
cause of wormy apples), and a success
sion of other insects through the season.
When we consider the great number of
species of insects that swarm upon us
every summer, determined to subsist
upon the roots, trunks, branches, bark,
leaves or fruits of fruit trees, we marvel
that any fruit can be left to compensate
the arduous tiller of the soil, and, in
fact, there is but little good, sound fruit
left, unless those insects are met at the
very threshold and fought until the fruit
is matured In neighborhoods where
but little fruit is grown the enemies are
not so numerous in proportion as where
their appropriate food is more abundant,
but there are enough everywhere to do
much damage. Where insects or para
site fungi feed upon the foliage and not
upon the fruit they still do the latter a
great deal of injury, by checking the
flow of sap and preventing full develop
ment of fruit The leaves are both
lungs and stomach, hence healthy leaves
are essential to healthy fruit. The fruit
may appear fair, exteriorly, but will
have hard, woody sections, interiorly,

ground. The box over the top is simply
for the purpose Of keeping the water
cool and is set over the trough, first re-
moving the bottom. A cover which
may be hinged or wholly detached
should be placed on the box. The
trough projects only sufficient dis
tance to enable the stock to drink
easily, and is placed at height so that
sheep will not be apt to get their feet
in it. The same plan can be carried out
