FIGHTING THE BORERs.
Good, Clean Cultivation IL Better
Than All Washes and Dressings
That Can BE Applied.

There are many orchards that have
suffered heavy and unnecessary loss
during the last summer from the at
tacks Of borers. Many farmers do not
notice that there is anything wrong
with the trees until the leaves turn
yellow and begin to fall in midsummer.
After this stage has been reached there
is little hope for tree and it dies be-
fore frost. A glance at the tree will be
sufficient to see that the bark on the
trunk is dead and black in irregular
dead bark is the borer's burrow filled
with worm dust. The borer is too fa-
miiar to require description. He
works up and down the side Of the
tree and finally burrows to the, center.
When two or three burrows get into
the same tree. the trunk is girdled and
the tree is killed. In many cases the
borer works on only one side OF the
tree. =:
{; If a large spot of bark is killed, the
bark and woods begin to rot and are
soon filled with mushroom growth.
This mushroom breaks through the
bark of the tree and develops the fruit
ing portion on the outside of the trunk.
The fruiting part is white and resem-
bles that which is seen on rotten logs.
If the tree dies the rot is then supposed
to be the cause of its death. The rot
may; hasten the death of the tree, but
a tree that is sound and free from
blemishes is very seldom if ever at
tackled by this rot.
The best thing to do is to keep the
tree free from borers and other
injuries. The Land should be kept free
from grass and weeds and well culti-
vated. Good, clean cultivation is worth
more than all the washes and dressings
that can be applied to prevent borers.

(Benson's Plaster is Pains E(astar. }

In the days of wild cat' money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur.
renoy. They were as stable as gold: their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames l. Son, was
synonym for honesty. It was current all
over the world. '~ IS
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is ''good" plaster does
not describe it ); 1t Is the best possible pzaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as m utter of course. @-z.$..
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either e1asperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back.
etc, are at once benefited and soon cured.

Cuttings of Currant Bushes.

Eary in the spring, before: the sap
begins to start, is the time to secure
cuttings of currant> bushes. The
bushes are propagated by bending
down the branches and covering with
soil, by cutting off the suckers at
some distance under the, surface of
the ground and removing them with
the roots, or by cutting off the wood
of this years growth The cutting
should be done with a sharp knife and
the division made at the axis of a
bud. It is not at all difficult to Sc
cure young currant bushes, for which
reason they should be found in1every
garden.
