FIGHTING THE BORERS.
Good, Clean Cultivation Is Better
Than All Washes and Dressings
That Can lie 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
spots and Lines. Just beneath the
dead bark is the borers burrow filled
with worm dust. The borer is too IA
miliar 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 large spot of bark is killed, the
bark and woods begin to rot and are
soon filled with a 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.
II 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
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 Guilt
waited. Good, clean cultivation is worth
more than all the washes and dressings
that can be applied to prevent borers

GREENHOUSE ON sLoPING GROUND

while on the opposite side earth is
banked up to about the same height.
Thus the part of the house below the
glass is protected by earth on both
sides and is very easy to heat. The
roof and one end are of glass, single
thickness, 11x24 inches. At the other
end is located the building containing
the office with the hot water heater in
the basement. Hot water overhead
pipes are used.
The crop grown is cucumbers, These
are grown on benches raised from the
surface. Mr.. Haynes thinks they would
do as well on solid earth. He finds the
cucumber crop most profitable of any,
returning him from $500 to $1,000 per
year and averaging from $500 TO $500.
Two years ago the crop sold for 1000
and his coal cost him sos. The house
and heating apparatus cost $500. Mr..
Haynes has had better success with
his cucumbers than many of his neigh
bors, some of them having made an en-
tire failure of the crop.-Orange Judd

Derrness Cannot De 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 inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachiqn Tube, When
this tube gets intlamed 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,
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarh Cure.
