APPLE TREE BORERS.
No General EffectuaI Preventive
Measure Against Them Has Yet
Been Discovered.

I know of no sure method of pre-
venting the work of the apple tree bor-
or. A piece of tarred or other tough
paper wrapped tightly around the
base of the tree will keep out some of
them. Perhaps a coating of gas or
coal tar would prove as effectual on
the apple as it has against the peach
tree borer, but it should be tested on
a few trees to see if it Injuries the tree.
Tar would prove as effectual as any
other wash Barnyard liquid OF
wood ashes around the roots would not
discourage the borers, but it would en-
courage the trees and help them re-
cover. Sand would be of little use.
A little practice will soon enable one
quickly to locate the borers' burrow
or tunnel, and it is often an easy job to
run a wire in and end its life. Some in
iect a little carbon bisulphide into the
opening where the "sawdust" is being
thrown out in the spring, and quickly
close the hole with putty, thus causing
the deadly fumes to penetrate all
through the burrow and kill the grub.
1t is possible that low-headed trees
shading the base would discourage the
borer, but there is no definite data on
this point. 1t is true that some or
chards suffer but very little from this
pest, while others within a few miles
may be riddled. We put out an orchard
of nearly 500 trees few years ago, ex-
pecting to test some of the proposed
remedies, but there have not been bor-
ers enough in it to experiment on. The
digging out" or wiring" process is
the surest method yet devised, and the
one generally practiced by apple grow
ers. No effectual preventive measure
has yet been discovered-M. V. Sling
erland, in Rural New Yorker.

Colossal California Tree.

What is undoubtedly the largest
known tree in the world has been dis
covered 21s miles from the Sanger Lum-
Der company's mill at Converse Basin,
far up in the sierras, in California. The
discovery was made by party of hunt
ers, but little credence was given to
the report, as everyone thought the de-
scription of this colossus of the forest
was exaggerated. But it has since been
visited by persons who have verified the
finders statement. The tree was meas s.
ured six feet from the ground, and it
took a line 154 feet and eight inches
long to encircle it, making it about 81
feet in diameter. This tree is a few
rods from the company's boundary line
and is on the government reserve,
hence will stand to interest sightseers.

( Sam bowed like field marshal of

turkey gobbler as the prettiest girl
in the crowd stepped out two or
three feet and tossed him a rose,
which he caught and pinned above
his badge. Then he turned and
bowed low to the girl, and Sue Nor
ton felt that it was the proudest day
in her life.
The marshal passed on down the
street, and then all eyes were turned
on the next great center of interest,
the real sensation of the day, the
Silver Cornet band from the county
seat. They swung down the street
playing one of Sousa's marches.

Lowing "Thet one that tells about

alone was still looking down the street
towards the Haunting red sash of the
assistant marshal.
Suddenly she heard some one say:
"Why, it amt nobody else but Jim

ON ITS OWN MERITS.
The Second Pie Was One That Would
"Go Down" without the
Makers Praise.

A young man who spent his summer vaca-
ton on a Maine farm says that new in
stances of the thrift and shrewdness of his
landlady are constantly thrusting them
selves upon his attention, relates Youths
Companion.
One day a wagon load of unexpected rela-
tives descended on the farm, and the mis-
tress was, as she afterward frankly said,
''put to it, to provide enough food for din
ner. She brought forward among other
things an apple pie, which seemed to the
boarder far inferior to the pies she usually
made But when she served it she spoke of
her reputation as a piemaker.
They do say at the soclables that no.
body's pies quite come up to mine, she re-
marked, with beaming smile; "and apple
pies are what you might call my speciality.
I've often been asked for the receipt, but
tell 'em it's knack and judgment does it.,
not rule"
The pie disappeared and then, when her
guests were not as hungry as they had been,
She brought forth second pie, haky of
crust and luscious to the taste.
"Why, Aunt Mary" said the youngest
of the party a boy of u, Il think this pie S
ever so much better than the other, and
you haven't said word about it,
His aunt looked at him without so much
as twinkle in her eyes.
"This one will go down without praising,
[ reckon" she said, graTely.

A TRADERS SPORTY EQUINE.
The Horse Was Setter aud Would
Work on Fish rs Well as
Game.

A shrewd Yankee horsetrader after years
of success of a kind to make David Harum
look small, got badly cheated on nag so
feeble and spiritless that it squatted like a
lack rabbit every time its ribs were touched.
The new owner felt very sore, but deter
mined to do what he could to retrieve: lie
invited a deacon of the village church for
a ride, and himself rode the new horse, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. Seeing a rabbit
he jabbed the horse with his heels and the
animal promptly squatted. When the dea-
con inquired the cause, the trader explained
that the horse had the faculties of a setter
and set whenever he saw game. rise of
cartridges brought forth another manifes-
tation, through the traders heels, and then
the deacon insisted on trading his own
horse and $50 for the sporting equine. On
the way home the deacon rode his new pur-
chase. Fording a stream, he raised his
feet to keep them dry and accidentally
jabbed the horse in the ribs, wheIeupon the
animal sat down in the water, wetting the
rider from feet to chest.
whats the matter, Zeke?" called the
deacon. "He can't see no birds nor rabbits
now!"
