Outlook for Apple. and Peaches.


A government rspor; says that the
average condition Of apples IL. on the
whole. unfavorabic. OF the fourteen
large producing states but two report
n condition above the ten-ycar aver
age. as follows: North Carolina. IS. a
gain Of / point and Michigan 81. a
gain Of 6 points. In Maine the eondi-
ton Is 81. corresponding with the ten
year condition In that state. New
York reports condition 6 points be-
low the tcn-ycar average. Illinois
and Iowa o points. Ohio Il. Pcnnsyi-
rania and Kansas ,s. Kentucky. vir-
sinia and Tennessee. IL. Missouri Is.
and Indiana 10 points. and In the re.
naming states IL Is probable that con.
siderabiy less than an average crop
will be produced. The present pros
poets of the peach crop are quite fav-
orabic. notwithstanding the fact that
several important peach growing
states report conditions considerably
below their ten-year averages. The
states showing such reductions are:
Tennessee s points. Georgia s, Kansas
~. and Missouri IS points. On the
other hand. Mississippi reports a con-
dition 1 point. Virginia 2. South Caro-

The supply Of new potatoes has not
been very large this season and buy.
ers in the cities are fearing a short
age in the crop available for summer
use. II seems that the very unequal
distribution Of moisture has resulted
in . considerable shortening Of the
crop. The very abundant rains that
have fallen In the neighborhood Of the
Great Lakes have In many instances
prevented the development Of the crop
Of early tubers. In the extreme west
the drouth has been so severe that
the vines have made little growth. A
like condition exists among the truck
gardens of the Atlantic slope. The
drouth there extends from New Eng
land TO Georgia and has resulted in
the cutting short Of much Of the gar
den truck. Some of the Virginia grow.
ers will have no crop at all. UP to
the first of June the prospects there
we're favorable, but since that time all
has changed. Just what the supply of
new potatoes Is no one can tell. as the
crop depends on tho weather from
week to week. This does not neces.
sarily mean that the main crop of po-
tatoes Is to be short. The late pota-
toes may not suffer at all in compari.
son to the early crop.

Ants on Lawns.

AUtb on LAWNS.
g. b. French asks: what is the
best way to destroy black ants. when
they form colonies on the lawn and
In the door yard?"
One OF the most common ways OF
exterminating them is to destroy their
mounds as they build thCm. cutting
them on with . scythe at the ground
Just before q rain. The passages will
then fill with water. This has been
the practice followed by the writer
In regard to such mounds In the fields.
and Il should work equally well on
lawns. A scientific writer gives the
following list Of methods: ~ Pour
carboiic acid water down their nests.
(2) Boil one pound OF cape aioes in a
gallon OF water and add six ounces OF
powdered camphor. Excavate the ant
hill and pour In . quart OF this. Gov.
ering as much space as possible. and
then NIL the nest again. there the
nests cannot be found. dilute this
largely with water. and sprinkle over
leaves. etc. through the nose OF .
watering can. (3) Tobacco water
Is efYectual II poured on for q few
nights till they disappear. 90 Pufing
insect powder into their holes every
morning for few days will usually
clear out antg- (5) Another excellent
exterminator Is to take four ounces OF
potash and one-half pound -four OF
birthstone. Set them In an iron or
carthen pan over the fire until dis.
solved and united: afterward beat TO
n powder. lnfuse some OF this In
water. and wherever sprinkled about
the house or grounds the ants will
die or leave. tD Another plan Is to
punch a hole In the ant hill with
wooden stick or iron rod: pour .
little bisulphatc of carbon into this
hole. and then fili Il by pressing the
earth around Il: tho fumes will penc-
trato tho hill and cxterminate tho
ants. As this Is m explosive sub.
stance II must DO used with care. but

and Its fumes are very destructive to

Inerease Of siIea.

Reports from New York say that a
good many new siios are being erected
In that state. The farmers are com.
ing TO appreciate the advantages OF
having on hand a good supply Of nu-
tritious feed at all times OF the year.
The drou,h Of last year that so scri-
ousiy cut short the summer pastures
was lesson TO those that are willing
to trust to luck whether they have
anything for their cows IL cat or not.
The silo Is an insurance against short
supplies OF feed. One Of the great ad-
vantages of It is that a rood crop one
year may be stored and held over for
years without detrimcnt to Its feeding
quality. As the use Of silos becomes
more general we will have more and
more the practice Of storing for years
in advance of need. In this way the
feeder may render himself indepen-
dent of the accidents Of weather. and
the supply of dairy products will be-
come uniform. As II Is at the present
time only the best managed dairics
have abundant feed the year round.

Spraying to Keep of Eros.

From time to time we have noted
the experiments made to determine
the value of spray as means Of keep.
ing OF frost in late spring and early
fall. In tho orange groves Of Florida
II has been successfully done at diff.
ferent times. The film Of water keeps
the temperature inside the fruit or
leaf or twig from falling too low, and
this is effective in keeping of frost, II
the latter is not too severe. Most Of
the frosts that do great damage are
light frosts coming very late In the
spring or very early in the fall and
catching the tender vegetation. In
New York state this practice is com.
ing into vogue for protecting vine
yards. A number of grape growers
have this spring sprayed their vines at
times of heavy frost and have thus
saved their crops. We do not see why
the remedy would not be as effective
in the early fall as in the late spring.
Doubtless the plan is worthy Of ex.
tended attention.
