horticultural Observations.

1t is hard work for the farmer to
keep watch for all the insects that prey
upon his crops, yet this hard work
must be undertaken if success is to be
his. A knowledge of entomology is
very necessary in nearly every position
in which the fruit grower is placed.
Sometimes the insects that do the most
damage are the small ones.
Secretary Barnard Of the Nebraska
State Horticultural society says that
the ground in both blackberry and
raspberry patches should be stirred
four or five inches deep once year by
a one-horse stirring pillow or some 9TH
err instrument that will thoroughly stir
the ground, then the soil kept loose by
frequent cultivation. Prune blackberry
in winter or spring: take out all old
wood, and cut back new wood to three
or four feet Cut off all side shoots
that hang over the row or they will
make your horse afraid to walk close
to the row when cultivating. Summer
pruning or pinching of the blackberry
can be avoided with good results, as
the large leaves on top of the strong
young shoots will partially shade the
ripening berries, which is very bene-
fetal. There will be enough fruit buds
below the four-foot mark to furnish all
berries that the cane can ripen with
out this pinching back.
The Vermont experiment station re-
ports that two insects have been very
destructive in Vermont this season.
The first is the canker worm, some
times known as the measuring worm.
This is small green or brownish
worm or caterpillar about an inch
long. 1t feeds on the apple leaves, and
on other trees sometimes. 1t may be
found spinning down from the
branches on a fine silky thread any
time during the day. This insect is
smaller and greener than the forest
tent caterpillar, and does not run in
such large families 1t does IA good
deal of damage in some eases, how
ever. The other insect is the cigar
that the little case which it bears
looks like miniature cigar about half
an inch long. These little cigars may
be found sticking straight up from the
twigs, leaves or fruit on which the
caterpilars are resting. 1t is a pecu-
liar little scoundrel, and ought to be
suppressed. Both these insects can be
killed readily by spraying with paris
green in the usual manner

much thinner IN texture. The cast
larval skins are at the narrow end Of
the scale, and in general the life his
tory is like that of the oyster bark
louise. The larvae also hatch during
the early days of June, and are orange
rather than yellow in color. The male
scales are comparatively very small
and almost snow white. The eggs are
developed in September and are deep
purplish brown, varying from twenty
to eighty or more. but fewer in num-
Der than the oyster-shell louise. This
scale prefers the pear among orchard
trees, and the Kieffer is its favorite
variety. OF the shade trees poplars
are most frequently infested, and Of
the small fruits currants are usual
victims. Pear trees are sometimes so
badly infested that their trunks seem
whitewashed, and in such cases seri-
Gus injury or death results. There Is
only one brood of these scales, and the
winter is passed in the egg stage.
AS against the oyster-shell louise and
the scurfy scale winter applications
are unsatisfactory, because they do not
kill the eggs. The scales may be COR
roded and the eggs in large part scat
tered. but many of them will remain
attached to the trunk and will hatch
in due time, while If the scales are at
all massed many will, il weakened,
yet suffice to protect and hold togeth-
er the egg clusters. Insect eggs are
extremely difficult to kill, even with a
substance SO penetrating as kerosene;
hence all applications to this end must
be more or less ineffective.
The weak point in the life history
of these scales is in the unprotected
larval stage, in which they succumb
easily to even weak insecticides. A

Kansas City Convention One of the Greatest
Ever Held-Great Outbursts of En-
thusiasm Each Day.

Amid scenes OF widest enthusiasm,
brilliant oratory, spirited music and i'll
cidents never-to-be forgotten by those
IN attendance, the Democratic National
convention completed its work Friday
afternoon, after one OF the greatest
gatherings of political workers in the
history OF the party. Each day the large
hall was taxed 10 its utmost, while the
galleries, occupied by throng Of
ladies', with their bright costumes and
waving fans made an animated picture.
On Wednesday at noon Chairman
Jones called the convention TO order,
and reading the call for the conven-
ton prayer was offered by Rev. s. w.
Neel, after which the address of well
como was made by James A. Reed, may
or CT Kansas City. Gov. Charles T..
Thomas, of Colorado, was made tenn
porary chairman, who addressed
the audience, saying in part:
1--WE are not here as the representa-
tives OF the vast interests which domi-
nate every industrial life, but as the
champions of the individual citizen who
stands helpless in their presence. We
speak not for those who would pivot
the finances of the world upon a single
metal, supplementing its inadcquacy by
a paper currency issued by a private
monopoly at the expense of the people,
but for the millions who believe in the
money OF the Constitution and in the
ability OF their couutrymen to legislate
for themselves without the previous per
mission of foreign parliaments, poten-
tates or princes"
