Birds and Insect Pests.

tits much easier to destroy birds than
insects, but as the number of birds is
reduced the insects multiply. The
wren is very useful bird and may
be induced to remain near dwelling
houses If boxes are provided for them,
but as they are unable to contend
against English sparrows the entrances
to the wren boxes should not be over
an inch in diameter, as the wren is very
small and can protect itself by going
where the sparrow cannot follow.
Every encouragement should be given
birds by feeding them and providing
suitable places for their protection and
accommodation.

The pyrus japonica forms fine hedge,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

LOw-HEADED TREES.
why They Are Preferred by Modern
Fruit Growers Who Are OPP
posed to Pruning.

For several reasons low-headed
fruit trees are to be preferred. They
resist wind better. the fruit is more
easily gathered and the bark insect,
which lays it's eggs on the bare trunk
to be Matched out by the warm sun
shine, is headed off. Then there is
less danger of sun scald. as the
branches spreading out, in a measure
at least. shade the trunk.
By cutting out the top during the
early stages of growth in majority
of cases a low-spreading growth may
be readily secured.
Some of our best growers are now
advocating no pruning. There is no
question but that in many cases much
harm is done to a good tree by over
pruning, and on this account is a
choice between no pruning and the
serious injury resulting from over
pruning. No pruning is rather the
better plan. One advantage claimed
for not pruning is that there will be
no water sprouts. While pruning to
some extent seems necessary in order
to get rid of crossing or trailing
limb, yet care is necessary not to
prune too severely.
1t is of course best to remove all
dead or diseased wood whenever no
ticed. but with care taken to supply
conditions favorable to thrifty, Wig
orous growth. this can be reduced to
a minimum. Certain it is that no
limb or branch should be removed
without good reason. Better not
prune than to cut unnecessarily. One
grower claims that all that is neces-
sary when the desired height is Sc
cured is to pinch off the top bud of
the center stem of the tree and then
let further pruning alone.
The only possible objection to a
low-headed tree is that after a good
growth has been secured it is difficult
to cultivate close up under the tree,
but generally after a tree has come
well into bearing the better plan is
to seed down to clover, and it is only
in exceptional cases that cultivation
will be necessary.-N. ]. Shepherd, in
Farmers Voice.

KILLING POTATOES.
Some Advocate the Practice, Others
Declare 1t to Have Value Only
rs a Tradition.

There are those that advocate killing
up potatoes, and there are others that
oppose the practice. The latter peo-
pie are sometimes inclined to pose as
reformers and imagine they will have
accomplished much good if they can
only succeed in making level culture
of potatoes universal. We have heard
men declare that the billing of pota-
toes in this country is due to our habit
of following custom long after the
circumstances that gave it birth have
ceased to exist. They say that the
Irish hilled them up to keep them out
of the excessive wet, and that now no
excuse exists for the practice. But
those that are advocating change in
this matter should not be too sure of
their ground. There is much truth in
the argument they make, but it is not
all truth.
Whether level or hill culture is the
best depends on local conditions, and
general rules cannot be formulated.
More than that seasons differ in their
dryness and wetness, and the varia-
lions of rainfall make an immense diff
ference in the results. We know a
man that followed level culture of po-
tatoes successfully for a number of
years and advocated it. But one year
the rains during the whole season were
excessive, and the heavy ground in
which his CROP was growing was con-
stantly soaked and sometimes water
was standing on it. The neighboring
fields that had the rows elevated gave
fair results, but the level culture fields
were drowned out. Perhaps well
drained field even in such a year would
have given good results; but it is fact
that many fields which should be
drained are not. On low fields, with
heavy soils, level culture of potatoes is
often unsafe. The progressive farmer
will learn to adapt principles to his To-
cal onditions.-Farmers' Review.

inches of snow-just enough for sleigh

with the cold at all. We have worked
every day all winter, are all well and
feeling well. Have built log house

now busy on well. We have ten cows,

Mildew ON the Gooseberry.

Potassium sulphide has been found
to be the best spray to use on the
gooseberry to prevent mildew. The
Geneva IN. " station has been at
work on this problem for some years
and has obtained the above result.
However, the use of this chemical does
not entirely prevent the mildew, and
the percentage of fruit lost is still
large. The work along this line may
yet give us results that will make it
possible for us to successfully grow
the English gooseberry, which is the
kind that is most seriously affected by
mildew, but is the kind, also, that is
of most value to American growers
