age will be done before the worms are
killed. One spraying when the buds
are in the condition represented in the
cut will be of much service. Another
should be given as soon as the bios
SONS fail. and if the cankerworms are
very numerous a third a week or ten
days after the second will be desirable.
The spraying may be done either
with paris green, Scheele's green or
arsenate of lead. Paris green may be
applied in water spray at the rate of
a pound to 200 gallons of water, with
pound or two of fresh Stacked lime
added to each barrel of the mixture to
render all the arsenic insoluble and
thus prevent injury to the foliage.
If arsenate of lead is used, it should
be bought in the form of a paste and
may be used at the rate of three
pounds to fifty gallons of water. This
poison has these advantages over paris
green: First, there is no danger of
burning the leaves, so that it can be
put on in stronger mixture; second, it
in suspension in the water bet
ter; third. it adheres to the foliage
more evenly and longer, and. fourth, it
may be seen upon the leaves more
readily, so that the thoroughness of
the spraying may more easily be deter
mined.

A STRAWBERRY BED.

How to Prepare It-When to Plant.
Insects and Cover.
The strawberry requires a deep, rich
soil. Prepare the ground thoroughly
before planting, as this is important for
best results, says Orange Judd Farmer.
After planting do not let your cultivat-
ing be with the object of keeping the
weeds out, but cultivate to keep the
ground loose and mellow, and the
weeds will have no chance to gain a
foothold. In setting the plants do not
spread the roots near the surface nor
twist them into wad, but spread them
out and allow them to reach straight
down into the soil, and press the fresh
earth solid against the roots. 1t is a
good plan to clip the lower ends of the
roots before setting, as they start new
growth more readily. Clipping early
runners is not necessary and should
not be done by inexperienced growers.
In northern ATTITUDES plant early in
May if possible and cultivate well with
a view of getting good growth of
new plants before the hot, dry weather
of late summer stops growth and pre-
vents late runners from taking root.
Early roofing runners make the best
plants for next years fruiting. If
plants are prevented from roofing in
early summer, they are more liable to
injury from the white grub insects or
accidents. and each plant destroyed
leaves a skip in the row. while if the
runners are allowed to root early less
harm is done if the original plant is in
jured. Cover the bed in fall when
freezing weather comes. or if that is
delayed any time in November is all
right, and light covering is safest.

Many ready made for use plant foods

CANKERWORM.

When to Spray Apple Trees-Advan-
tages In Using Arsennte of Lead.
Some farmers prefer to fight the can
kerworm by banding rather than by
the spraying method, because their
other work keeps them so busy during
the spraying season, but in general the
orchardist will find it profitable to
spray, because he can thus kill off not
only the cankerworm and other leaf

well, and if he so desires he can in the
same mixture fight the apple scab and
other fungous diseases, says Professor
Weed of the New Hampshire station in
a recent bulletin.
The spraying method of fighting the
cankerworms aims to cover the leaves
with fine particles of poison so that the
young worms will eat it and be killed.
When an orchard is infested by can
kerworms, it is very desirable to spray
once before the blossoms open. The

How to Make a Toy.

In vacation time restless child may be
amused and profit. too, by constructing a
homemade toy. Perhaps mother will be
called to aid in this, but she may feel re-
paid for her assistance. The following in
struction for making tin can locomotive,
which is very simple, Is given:
The boiler of the locomotive is a baking
powder can: the rear wheels are covers of
the same: the cab Is an oblong box: the
smoke stack is spool. Cut along the lower
edge Of the tin box only, and turn UP the tin
for three-fourths of an inch and at right
angles to the plane of the box. Bore two
holes in the sides of the cab for the knit
ting needle axle. Bore hole in the corner OF
wheels. slip the axle through the holes in
the cab slide the wheels over the ends OF
this and fasten securely to the axle. Fas-
ten the boiler to the cab, resting the back
of it on the turned up tin Fasten two
pieces Of cardboard to the forward part of
the boiler and bore a hole through the
lower ends of these. Plug the holes of the
spool to be used the front wheels with
wood, place between the cardboard strips
and stick ordinary pins through the holes
in the strips and in the center of the plugs
for axles.
The headlight is supported on 4 square
of cardboard fastened to the boiler. Care
fully fasten piece of elastic in position S
follows: Tie one end around the center Of
the axle inside the cab, pass the loose end
through the long, narrow opening IN the
lower part Of the cab, and fasten 1t with
plenty of sealing wax to the front end of
the boiler. The elastic should be as long
as from the front of the boiler to the
axle. An elastic band cut In two
at one end or a number of small elastic
bands tied together will answer admirably.
To set the locomotive in motion turn the
tin wheels backward until quite a lot of
the elastic is wound up on the axle: then,
holding the wheels firmly, set the Iocomo-
tive on the floor, when 1t will travel for q
distance Of twenty-five feet or more. Cars
are made of match boxes.-Woman's Home

BIRD picks up the bait and in doing SO pulls

Sunshine Letter.

Dear Aunt Dorothy:
II the children Of the Sunshine societies
want TO do some good or bring sunshine
into others lives on Christmas the first
thing to do, Of course, is to find some one
whose life would be made happier by some
little kindly act. Such children may easily
be found by inquiring of the Home Mission
airy. Lend a Hand or other like organiza-
lions or at orphan asylums or other chill
dren's homes. 1t would be well to inquire
whether the children are girls or boys and
also to find out their ages. This done you
may begin to collect small presents. such
as paper dolls, scrap books small china
dolls, balls. paint boxes or any article of
clothing. If visiting poor family some
good eatables might be included or some
little gift for the hard-working mother.
So you see that it is not very hard to scat
ter Christmas cheer. so that when you open
your christmas stocking full of goodies you
may know that you have made a happy
day for children who have very little sun
shine in their lives

ANIMAL DIFFERENCES
w. Long tells in his Ways Of Wood
Folk about little girl who, when asked
how she knew her own "chiekie" as she
called 1t, replied: How do / know 1t?
Why, by its face" And. sure enough, on
looking at its face there could be seen a
difference that made it easy to distinguish
it from the rest.
No two animals of species are alike in
feature or in disposition any more than are
two human beings. Any boy who keeps
rabbits white mice will soon learn this
by experience. People generally are far
too apt to forget that animals are indiyid-
uais and that each requires Individual
treatment.
