Cause of Some Failures.

1t is an easy matter to set few cur
rants and gooseberry plants along the
fence row, and then leave them to the
mercy of weeds and worms without
fertilization or cultivation. Then the
owner wonders why it is his fruit is so
much inferior to that of his more
thrifty neighbor. No wonder that he
comes to the conclusion that "there is
only now and then one who is calcu-
lated to raise fruit anyhow" Plants,
like animals, need well-balanced ra-
ton and large per cent. of brains is
one of the principal ingredients. Cur

tion to this rule. These pants will bear

THE FARMING WORLD.
SETTING PEACH TREES.
An Ohio Fruit-Grover Tells How and
When to DO 1t.

When to DO 1t.
One year ago last May we set 100
peach trees. Having often heard the
advice given to set small trees instead
of the large, first-class ones we felt that
possibly we had made mistake when
giving the order. Wishing to save the
time of one or two years growth, II
possible, we ordered the best two-year-
old trees. They were shipped in good
condition and were set as soon as re-
ceived. They were well set, allowing
all roots their natural position. We cut
any roots off that would otherwise be
cramped or bent up and cut off all in
jured or mangled portions of roots.
Did not dig all the holes before begin
ming to set the trees as some do, but set
stakes for the trees and then brought
the trees out to convenient place in
the orchard, covering the roots with
quantity of wet straw and moss with
blankets over this.
1t takes very little hot sun and still
less of drying wind directly on plant or
tree roots to affect their growth. The
spot selected for the trees had been
plowed very deep and thoroughly fitted
before the trees came. Each hole was
dug for the particular root that was to
be planted in it. After the hole was
dug the tree was placed in position,
when man No. l held it there and
tramped the fine soil about the roots
as man No. 2 shoveled the dirt in. After
the trees were planted we cut them
back or pruned them until they had
l., .,f ,,-1 inc ply nd
that about 3h feet in length.
1t seems almost a waste of growth
and the wrong thing to do to prune
nice shaped tree so severely, but our
limited experience in this line has
taught us that it is the thing to do, and
that the tree will soon more than make
up in growth for this setback" Out
of the 100 we have lost one tree.
They have made a remarkable growth
and we have not regretted setting large
trees. The above trees are now well
filled with fruit buds, but buds on a
peach tree this time of year cannot al
ways be considered buds of promise.
We did not consider it necessary to
lose the use of TIE ground while the
trees were getting large enough to
fruit. We set strawberries for plants
in the rows of trees and three feet from
this row on each side just half way
between the tree rows one way we set
raspberries. Trees, berry plants and
all were mulched with stable manure
one year ago, and all expressed their
thanks for it in growth the past sum-
mer.-A. ID. Olin, in National Stock

THE ORANGE WORM.
Every HOusekeepcr Hns Reason Z,
Dread Its Appearance.


There is threat of invasion by an
orange-eating worm. Not only does II
menace a great fruit-producing in
dustry in this country, but every house
holder has reason to dread its appear
ance on his table. Out in California the
orange growers are fairly panic
stricken, and not a little alarm is felt in
Florida and Louisiana.
The insect has its home in Mexico.
1t is an unpleasant looking maggot,
about an inch long and in color yellow
ish white. The pulp of the orange is
its food, and it makes its way into the
fruit without leaving any outward aid
visible sign of its presence within.
This, indeed, is one of the worst things
about it. If the infested fruit exhibited
surface evidences of having been at
tackled, the oranges might be picked
over and the bad ones rejected. But the
golden sphere. fair to look upon and
promising JOY to the palate. is rotten
within. Cut open with a knife. half Of
it's pulp perhaps is found to have been
devoured, and maybe dozen or more
of the disgusting larvae, authors Of the
mischief, are seen within.
1t will be easily understood that the
infestation of the groves of California
BY this insect would be likely to cause a
loss of millions of dollars annually to
that state. Being a sort of next-door
neighbor to Mexico, California is in spe-
cial danger; and, realizing the fact, she
has already established a quarantine
against oranges from that country.
During the last six weeks the govern
ment bureau of entomology has been
making a special investigation of the
matter. 1t has sent an expert. Mr.. c.
II. T. Townsend, 10 Mexico, to study the
WORM and it's work, and he has made a
report on the subject. The maggot is
the larvae of fly which lays its eggs
in the pores of the ripening orange on
the tree. The young larvae, on being
hatched, makes its way into the fruit
without leaving any hole or other ex
ternal sign. 1t bores down through the
pulp, eating as it goes, and converts the
juicy interior into so much rot and
nastiness.
Naturally the Mexican authorities
have been perturbed by this threat OF
excluding their oranges. They have
presented arguments on the subject.
They declare that the insect in question
is not at all common; that it is confined

II be necessary to add fresh warm water,
let him be either removed the while, or
let him not be put in when very mot;
for if boiling water be added to increase
the heat of the bath, it naturally
ascends, and may scald him. Again,
let the fresh water be put in a as great
a distance from him as possible. The
usual time for him to remain in a ba tn
is a quarter of an hour or 90 minutes.
Let the chest and 1he bowels be rubbed
with the hand while he is in the bath.
Let him be immersed in the bath as
high up as the neck, taking care that ne

AS soon as he comes out of the bath Inc
ought to be carefully but quickly
rubbed dry; and if it be necessary to
keep up the action on the skin, he
should be put to bed between the
blankets; or, if the desired relief has
been obtained, between the sheets,
which ought to have been previously
warmed He will now most likely fall
into a sweet, refreshing sleep.
If the child be frightened a the sight
of the bath, cover the bath with a sheet.
then lay him on the sheet, and thus
gently lower him into the water.-Chi-

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If a plant fourishes, it must have
constant attention. 1t must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil
where it is rooted. It's SO with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruf is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
hciently nourished. begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such case is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp. will feed the hair give it strength,
and so produce strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by Dr. Ayers

Bile preparation for the hair that can be

with dandruf, stops the hair from falling,
