Getting rid of Kerry Rust

The blackberry and raspberry rust
is the most serious of pests to grow
ers of bushfruits. 1t shows itself in
spring, dwarfng the cane and running
the foliage. When such an infected
plant is cut to the ground, the new
shoots springing from the stock will
also become rusted like the first
growth of the year. 1t goes without
any argument that all such rusted
plants need to be dug up and de-
stroyed root and branch, and the
earlier this is done the less likeli-
hood there will be of the infection
spreading by means of the spores.
The burn heap is one of the best adj
juncts OF a well-equipped establish
ment. 1t excels greatly the rubbish
pile. Ashes may be blown about by
the winds, and no serious inocula-
tions follow from them.-American

FALL TREE PLANTING.
Not Good Practice i'm Northern Lati-
tudes, But StiiI 1t Can Be Made
Successful.

At the meeting of the Iowa korti-
cultural society last year the qdes-
ton of fall-planting of orchards was
discussed pretty thoroughly, audit was
stated by one of the speakers that it
IS entirely an error to recommend fall
planting as many do, and especially
IN the more northern sections of Iowa,
which conditions would also apply to
other sections of the same latitude.
The speaker claimed that the climate
OF northern Iowa was so dry and cold
that it is only in an occasional year
that fall planting viii succeed salts
factorily. Ii the practice of fall plant
ing is adopted it viii result only in
failure in the large majority of cases,
but, the speaker said, if you must and
will plant in autumn, lean your trees,
in setting, well to the south by south
west. After setting, bank up around
the tree wide mound, IS to 90 inches
high, then cover with a heavy coat of
stable manure. This prevents freez-
ing until late, and when it does
freeze will keep frozen until
spring opens, when everything
should be removed from around
the tree to the bottom level. The
criticism will be that this means hard
labor and plenty of it. but it is prefer
able to dead trees. The speakers ad-
vice was not to get trees in the fall,
but should you do so, do not plant
them then, but rather dig, in high
place, trench three feet deep and
three or four feet wide, and as long
as may be needed, depending upon the
number of trees to be buried. One end
Of the trench should be a slope of
about As degrees, upon which COM
mence laying your trees, with roots
down on bottom of trench, and the
tops will reach but little above the
original level. Make the layer thin
enough that you may pack plenty of
fine earth between the roots. Cover
this layer. roots, bodies and tops, TAX
ing care that the earth is firmly packed
around the roots. Commence with
another layer, treating in the same
manner until all are in; then mound
up the earth over the whole, leaving
bitches, not too near, around the out
side for draining off the surface water.
The speaker found that this method
was the best one for "fall planting."-

Herbs in the Farm Garden.

Every garden should have herbs,
and of all varieties. Herbs for win
ter use should be gathered when the
plants are in flower. Just as the
flowers begin to fade is about the
best time. To dry them tie them in
small bundles and hang the huadles
in an airy shed. Formerly it was the
custom on every farm to grow herbs,
but the practice seems to have grown
out of use. Herbs can be grown so
easily, however, and require so little
room. that they should be given a
place for the purpose of always hav-
ing a supply at all seasons.

on top of these. Beans piled up about
the central stake are proof then
against any wind, while no moisture
can injure the bottom. Lastly, if bit
of cloth is thrown over the top and tied
in place, as suggested in Fig. 2. the
crop will be quite safe. whatever the
weather is. Peas can also be harvest
ed with complete success in the same

EARTHWoRM'S MISSION.
1t Consists in LoOsening the Soil,
Thus Allowing the Air to Reach
Roots of Plants

Unattractive and uninteresting
though the familiar earthworms may
seem, they have their place in the
economy of nature. At the approach
of winter they burrow down deep be-
low the frost line, and there they re-
main during the cold weather, often
burrowing as deep as eight feet below
the surface.
They are extremely sensitive to
heat; and this is proven by The fact
that they so quickly respond to the
first warmth of early spring, ofttimes
coming from their underground re-
treats as early as February, when a
warm rain has thawed the surface
somewhat. We may see the castings
of these primitive tillers of the soil
long before we see any other sign of
the awakening of the underground
world.
Earthworms have no visible eyes.
Their seeing apparatus consists of spe-
cial single cells scattered among the
epidermal cells of the skin and con-
nected with little branch of nervous
matter in the body by means of SEN
sorry canal. This simply enables them
to distinguish light from darkness,
which for them is sufficient, as they
live underground anyway. In burrow-
ing, the head is swelled by special ac-
ton and the dirt is pushed away on all
sides. 1t also swallows the dirt, which
passes through the digestive canal.
Darwin estimates that there are 100,-
900 earthworms in the upper six feet
of every acre in ordinary soil.
They are continually turning over
the soil and dragging down leaves and
other matter, which helps to fertilize
the soil and loosen the earth, allowing
the air to reach the roots.-National

WAR AGAINST INSECTS.
Unless 1t BE Waged Continuously
There Is Danger Tint the
Pests VIII Ruin Us.

DR.. L. o. Howard, entomologist of
the department of agriculture, has
just made public some startling
statements of the property losses
caused by insects. He believes they
aggregate over $300,0000O0 a year
Other agricultural experts have made
higher estimates, and in years of un-
usual insect activity the total loss
has been doubtless much greater.
The Rocky mountain locust, or west
ern grasshopper. for example, in
1874 ate up $1OO,O0O,0o0 worth of the
growing crops of Kansas. Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska. The chinch-bug
alone, according to Prof. Webster,
has eaten $3.50, 100000 worth of corn
and wheat in the western states since
1s5O-an average appetite of s7,oOO,-
coo year.
As for the mosquito, apart from
the losses believed to be due to its
"pernicious activity" in the spread of
yellow fever and malaria, it is an
immense depreciator of real-estate
values. A New Jersey newspaper re-
Gently estimated that its extermina-
ton in that one state alone would
add to its real-estate valuation not
less than S1OO0O0,000.
1t certainly would pay to wage a
continuous war of determination
against all these insects.-N. Y.

The statement now going the rounds
of the papers that the apple crop of
the United States exceeds in value the
wheat crop is rather surprising. The
average annual value of the wheat
crop is said TO be 100000 600. while
the apples for the year 1900 are esti-
mated at 215 100000 barrels, which, at
50 per barrel, would come to S43o,000.-
coo. Two dollars per barrel is prob
ably a little high for the average, but
at $3.50 the amount would still be
ahead of the wheat by $50 500, o0o.--Na-
