PEACH TREE BORERS,
new York HortiouIturist Says That
Thorough Application of Tar
Will Destroy Them,

For the last eight years I have set
peach trees every year and / never
fail to make thorough application
OF the tar. With an old paint brush
put it upon the trunk of the trees
before setting, spreading the tar
from the roots up the trunk from
eight to - inches | am care
ful to remove any borers that
many be in the trees as they come
from the nursery. | keep in mind
this fact that the coal tar will not
Kill the bOrer deeply buried under
the bark. but will prevent the moth
from depositing its eggs at the base
of the tree. The application of the
TAR must be made annually there
after, being sure to finish the work
before the moth begins to fly, which
l believe is from June to IS usual
ly. In making these annual appli-
cations it is necessary to insure sue.
cess that the earth be removed down
to the roots. The bark from the
roots up eight to IL inches
must be completely covered with the
tar. -..,
In case the tree is suffering from
the effects of the shot hole borer or
fruit bark beetle, ! know of nothing
that is equal to the coal tar as
remedy. In case of mechanical in
jury to tree the tar is better than
any paint or wash we have ever
tried.-S. w. Wadhams, in American
AEriculturist.

PLANTS WHICH WALK.
Several Well known Specimens

jumping or Crcepinx

Not few plants are possessed of
the actual power of migration, not
merely by their seeds becoming seat
tered, but by an actual geographical
movement from year to year. The
common purple orchid, for instance,
forms II new bulb each year. and each
year the new shoot appears nearly an
inch from the root occupied by last
years stem. Tulips planted in the
shade will often find their way to a
sunny spot. There is a North Ameri-

Raising Quail for Market.

Raising quail and pheasants is be-

an Ohio breeder, who feeds the young
chicks on ants and eggs until they
are two weeks old. After two weeks,
he feeds hard-boiled eggs made fine,
little clover chopped fine and occa-

instead of eggs, Quails can be raised

VIII Play Base Bal

Sometime in the near future there
is to be a great game of Base Ball
between the colored walters and tl q
store porters, for the benefit of Il .
two Homes for Aged Colored People.
There has always been n strong
jealous feeling between the hash
singers and the box openers, as to :
which side could place IN the field
the strongest team. The Market
street box openers feel confident,
however, Of victory.
The hotel boys say all they want
is good day, big crowd AMI they
will show the porters the way to 60

FAMOUS OLD HIGHWAY.
Cumberland Road, Constructed Near.
II One HunArea Years Age,
Stiil In Fair COndation,

The most remarkable highway built
In the United States early in the CEN
tury was the so-called Cumberland
road, which was to extend from Cum
berland, Nd, through southwestern
Pennsylvania, over the Allegheny
mountains to the Ohio at Wheeling,
W. Va, and then on to St. Louis. 1t
was so we'll constructed that it is a
good road to-day. Henry Clay was it's
protector and chief supporter, and his
services in its behalf are commemora
ed by monument near Wheeling. We
are told by letters written at that
period that there were metimes 20
gayly-painted four-horse coaches each
way daily. The cattle and sheep were
never out of sight, and canvas-covered
wagons were drawn by six or twelve
horses"
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which it runs, the government
expended no less sum than 81 900, 900.
Within mile of it on either side the
country was a wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
as in the main street of a large town.
Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
forcoaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines Of freight wagons which
carried ten tons, drawn by - horses,
and with wheels ten feet in diameter.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
ica in 1912, he Travelled by stage coach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, 0. De-
scribing his experience, he wrote:
AZ one time we were all thrown to-
gether in a heap at the bottom Of the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
two wheelers. and now it was rearing
up in the air. The driver, who GER
tain y got over the ground in man
ner quite miraculous, so twisted and
turned the team, in forcing passage
corkscrew fashion through the bogs
and swampS. that it was n common
circumstance, on locking out of the
window, to see the coachmnn with the
ends of pair Of rens in his hands,
apparently driving nothing, and the
leaders staring unexpected at one
from the back Of the coach, as if they
had some idea of getting up behind A
great portion of the way was over
what is called "A corduroy road which
is made by throwing trunks of trees
into Il marsh and leaving them to set
tIe there. The very slightest of the
jnlts with which the ponderous car
riage fell from log to log was enough
it seemed to have dislucatcd all the
bones in the human body. 1t would
be impossible to experience a similar
set of sensations in any other circum-
stances, unless perhaps in attempting
to 60 up TO the top Of st. Paul's in an
OmnbuS.'
This description serves to illustrate
the condition of our country roads,
generally speaking, as they were 25
years ago, except in a few wealthy
communities. There has been Il won
derful change since then.-pearson'
