ORCHARD WORK.
Destroying Insect Eggs, Cutting Out
Dead Limbs, Etc


Dead Limbs. Etc.
There is plenty of orchard work In
the winter if one has many trees.
There are the borers to hunt for, and IL
they are found and killed 1t will be
time well spent. If none Is found,
the owner may consider himself so
very fortunate that he need not regret
the loss of the time. There are the
punches of eggs of the tent caterpillar
In little silvery looking ring around
the small twigs near the ends of the
branches. They show very plainly
when the sun Is shining on them, and
If they are cut off and burned now
there will be fewer foes to fight next
spring. Then there are dead limbs,
leaves, weeds and piles of rubbish
which may be harboring insects or
their eggs or the germs of fungous dis
eases which should be collected to-
gether and burned as soon as they are
dry enough. and last, but not least,
before the leaf buds open spray every
tree and every branch OF the tree SO
as TO wet il well with the strong cop
per sulphate solution. using oLe pound
VI the sulphate to 10 gallons of water
for all but the peach, for which use
one pound to % gallons. Do not fail
to do this if you would be free from
blight. scab or cracked fruit or from
anthracnose or rust on the blackberry
and raspberry or the grapevines. This
is, however. proper work for early
spring.
The American Cultivator, in which
the foregoing occurs, also says: We
fully agree with the theory that the
best time to trim fruit trees is In May
or early June. as the bark will imme-
diately begin to grow over the wound,
so as to cover the space between bark
and hard wood If it does not entirely
cover the scar. We do not like to cut
anything but dead limbs in winter,
while if pruning Is done in early spring,
when the sap is thin, it will bleed too
much. causing bark and wood to sepa-
rate. We do not know so we'll about
the shade trees. excepting that we
would not trim a maple in the spring
or any coniferous evergreen at any
time excepting early winter.
We have. however. cut limbs from
apple trees in both fall and winter,
leaving a stump about a foot long to
be taken off In May. We always cut
large limbs to leave such stump, and
at the second cut we can handle that
so that it will not split back beyond
the cut, as it sometimes does when a
heavy limb is sawed off. BY making
this first amputation at n leisure time
we had much less to do in May, when
we wanted to be planting or sowing
seed, and if the branches cut in winter
were taken away 1t was little work to
carry off the pieces a foot long. If
limbs to be taken off were not larger
than n mans thumb, we cut them ut
any time, though it might be better TO

bee can puncture the skin of the grape
comes up again in Rural New Yorker.
A correspondent writes: Last winter,
when packed my bees for cold wealth
er, | put piece Of good, strong oil
cloth over the frames and then filled
phosphate sacks with chaff and straw
and packed 1t tightly on the oilcloth.
think now that l made a mistake In
putting on that oilcloth. 1t prevented
any upward ventilation and allowed
no escape of moisture, two things that
are essential to the successful winter
ing of bees. The bees soon recognized
the fact that "some one had blunder-
ed" and so proceeded to correct the
error by gnawing or biting or punctur-
ing their way not only up through
the strong oilcloth, but also right on
through the heavy bagging, thus reach
ing the chaff and straw, which proved
n ready absorbent of their moisture
and gave them some ventilation also.
Now these holes, many OF them large
enough to run my open hand through,
were literally eaten through those two
thicknesses of strong cloth, and II
would seem to be about as difficult
lob for the bee to gnaw his way
through these tough cloths as 1t would
be for him to puncture the thin skin OF
n ripe grape or for a man to bite into
"whole large pumpkin" 1t matters
not Just how the bee got through these
cloths. whether by gnawing oil. biting
or digging with his feet or puncturing
with soft, pliable proboscis," for by
that same method, whatever 1t was, he
could certainly open the thin skin OF a
ripe grape and help himself to the
sweets therein without the aid OF
"some other insect"

Quite out of the ordinary Is one fea-

Wheat was firm the first half Of the

LOUD CALL FOR BRYAN. !
A Popnlist Organ In His own State
Asks Some Tough Questions.


Once admit that some people are capable of self
government AMI that Others not and th@t the
capable people have the right to seize upol and
govern the incapable, and you make force-brute
force--the only foundation Of government a1I in-
vite the reign OF a despot.-Extract From W. j.
Bryans Notification Speech.
The above is just exactly the doc
trine that the Bourbon Democracy of
the south believes in and puts into
practice. BY "brute force" it has dis
franchised nearly one half of the yot-
ers of some of the southern states,
thus establishing in those states "gov-
ernment without the consent of the
governed" and taxation without rep
resentation'
1t is passing strange that Mr.. Bryan
Is compelled to go to the Philippine
Islands to find wrongs to be denounced
and people to be sympathized with.
Isn't the black man Of our southern
states, robbed of his political rights by
| the Democracy, as much entitled to
| sympathy as the brown man OF the
Philippines?
Why does not Mr.. Bryan also protest
against the injustice of allowing a
southern state which casts only 100000

Mr.. Bryan answer these questions
himself. We would be only too glad tt
publish his replies.-Omaha True Pop
