Lnyerinx Strawberries.

After the middle Of July strawberry
plants that are to be grown in matted
rows are allowed to layer, and ordi-
narily no attention Is paid to assisting
them, but If the season is very dry and
few runners are formed they may be
layered by hand. Some growers also
find it advisable to layer the plants by
hand and thus distribute them so that
the ground will be occupied to the best
advantage When the plants are two
feet apart, two runners are layered at
either side of each original plant, so
that they will form a square, with the
old plant In the center. The other run
ners are removed and the plants are
allowed to thicken up, and give nearly
as good results as can be obtained from
hill culture.
The growers who plant so as to work
the ground both ways and still wish to
grow the plants in matted rows are
only able to keep up this practice until
about the middle Of July and after
that work the land in one direction
only. In this way the runners are dis
tributed lengthwise of the rows, where
they soon become layered. 1t will gen
orally be best to restrict the width of
the row to eight or ten inches.-L. L.

SPRAYING APPLE TREES.
Some Causes of the Apparent FALL
ures with This Remedy.

6Ome Causes OF the ApphFGnh II ma
ures with This Remedy.
A belief exists in the minds Of some
fruit growers that recommended meth
ods for the destruction Of the codling
moth are worthless; that spraying
with arsenic compounds has proved or
no avail. Disregarding the opposition
of some whose Ill chosen statements
furnish their own refutation, we must
still admit that trials Of spraying meth
DDS by our fruit growers have too often
resulted In apparent failure and In
consequence have measurably destroy
ed confidence In these methods.
These reported failures may have
come from one of several causes-frst,
an exaggerated idea of the results TO
be obtained by spraying has led to an
ticipations of degree of success not
warranted by the experience of the
most successful experimenters; Sec
ond, proper spraying demands such
close adherence to several indispen-
sable points of practice that even care
full men may fail through oversight OF
these particulars, or, finally, the adverse
report Is made without just estimate
Of the result of the experiment., for 1t
will be granted that true judgment
of the degree OF success can only be
had by the comparison Of trees treated
with trees untreated in the same sur
roundings, and, this comparison lack
ing, the estimate Of success or failure
is altogether a matter Of opinion and
not to be admitted as evidence.
AS to the first, no one qualified to
advise in the matter will claim that
single seasons trial Of spraying against
the codling moth can alone bring per-
feet success, especially where the
neighboring fruit growers do not fol-
low the same methods and where these
have not been practiced for several
years together or long enough for the
cumulative effects TO become apparent.
1t must also be remembered that 1t is
only the worms OF. the hrst brood +Aat
