SPRAYING OF PLANTS.
Circumstances Have Made Copious
Use of Insecticides and Fungi
cides Imperative.

In an address on spraying, Prof. F.
M. Webster said: The canker worm,
the tent caterpillar, leafrollers and
other native leaf-eating insects, find
instead Of an occasional wild cherry
tree, wild crabapple tree or wild plum
tree, whole acres Of improved varieties
OF these, acres upon acres OF rasp-
berry, blackberry, strawberry and
grape. Grass feeding insects find
hundreds and thousands of acres of
grassy plants more tender and juicy
than the natural grasses. Is 1t any
wonder that native insects. before
confined to a less number OF less
fruitful trees, with an occasional year
that permitted almost no fruit at all
to grow. thus almost discriminating
them, should, under such favorable
conditions as are offered by our pres
ent system of fruit. vegetable = and
grain culture, thrive and increase in
numbers far beyond what they would
under less artificial and less favor
able surroundings? We first create an
environment, unnatural ard vastly
more favorable than the original for
the development of insect enemies OF
our crops, and bring about the very
conditions that these insects are in
tended to prevent, and then wonder
why it is that they do what is the most
natural thing in the world for them
feed and breed in the midst of plenty.
1t has always seemed to me that the
fruit grower who planted out his or
chards, vineyards and berry fields,
and gave them no protection from
their natural enemies, was doing
what commanding general would do
If he were to send a division OF his
army into the enemy's country and
not support 1t with other troops. 1t is
as plain as can possibly be that the
fruit-grower must use artificial meas
ures to fight the enemies of his crops,
If he expects to succeed The present
conditions are now what they are,
and we cannot now change them.
This being true, it is manifest!y the
proper course to pursue. in seeking
by artificial means to counteract, so
far as possible, the adverse effect Of
these present conditions. Thus, the
spraying Of plants with insecticides
and fungicides becomes Imperative

Cnbbnge Worm Remedies.

The only sure and abiding remedy
for cabbage worm, says an authority
Is a small handful OF fine sawdust 1t
is cheap, sure, harmless and effectual.
Probably the best and cheapest way to
combat worms on cabbages is simply to
sprinkle salt on the infested heads,
From the moment the salt is applied
the worms cease to feed, and In an hour
or two they drop from the heads to the
ground Get five cents worth Of cayenne
pepper, put It in the teakettle and make
a strong tea. When cool put 1t in a
bottle and squirt some on each head or
sp -inkle out of a pan with whisk

THE PEACH ORCHARD.
Soil on which II Is Located Must he
Neither Too Rich Nor Alto
Rether Poor.

In spite of the disasters experienced
by peach growers during the last
five years, peach orchards are being
planted in considerable numbers and
on large areas. This Is wise thing
to do, as a big crop now and then
and the years when freezes destroy
large areas of peach orchards. Grad
ually localities are being found in
most of our states where the disasters
come rarely and where crops Of peach
es are common.
Soil for peach ordchards may be
of almost any character, except
swampy. Wherever situated it should
contain enough sand to permit of a
sort of natural drainage about the
roots. Where there Is a hard. COM
pact clay beneath, peach trees should
not be planted. as the roots of the
trees find it difficult or impossible to
penetrate 1t and are compelled to feed
only in the surface soil. When the
water in the surface soil is gone. the
roots are exposed to the drought.
When they go into winter in this con
dition they are most easily affected by
the cold. II is now believed that
moisture in the soil has very i'm
portant influence in bringing trees
through severe winters unframed. In
addition, where there is a hard pan
that will hold water. some of the
trees will most likely be set in basins
that will keep their roots immersed
for weeks during the wet weather.
This often results In the destruction
OF the tree. az the roots of peach trees
must have air as well as water to en-
able them to grow. The texture of
the subsoil has much to do with the
success OF the peach orchard. 1t must
not be so impervous to water as to
hold it for long periods and it must
not be 80 porous as to permit 1t to
leach away too readily The soil
should be loose enough to permit the
passage Of water out must be close
enough to keep the law OF capillary
attraction In operation. A good peach
soil Is neither too rich nor too poor.
A too rich soil gives wood growth at
the expense Of fruit.-Farmers Re

cent. of all the cheese made in the
United States.
1t is the purpose of farmers bulle-
tin No. 166, Cheese Making on the
Farm" to furnish for the farm house
hold brief description of the most
approved methods used in the manu-
facture OF several varieties Of cheese.
Details OF management, which are
briefly and plainly described, include
aeration and cooling, coloring the use
OF rennet, curdling, cutting, cooking,
molding, pressing, dressing, sailing
and curing. The operation OF press
ing Is explained as follows: The press
may be a simple lever and weight, de-
scribed as follows: The lever should
be about II feet long A broken
wagon tongue answers the purpose
very well. Set a strong box on which
the mold may be placed, about three
feet from a wall, post or tree. On the
latter nail a slat and under II put one
end OF the lever. Put circular
board about six inches In diameter
upon the mold. and on this rest the
stick or lever. A pail containing a
few cobblestones will answer for the
weight Do not apply full pressure
at first, but let the weight hang about
halfway between the mold and the
outer end OF the stick. Let the
cheese remain a few hours in the
press, then take out and dress
The ordinary process by which our
American cheese is made In factories
is not applicable to the farm dairy,
because 1t takes too much time and
is SO complicated that 1t requires
years OF practice to become familiar
with the varying conditions in which
milk comes TO the vat The various
changes that take place in milk, and
which are troublesome In making
cheese, nearly all develop In the
nights milk, kept over until the fol-
lowing morning. So, If milk is made
into cheese Immediately after it is
drawn, no difficulty need be expert
enced. BY employing a simple and
short method Of manufacture, anyone
at all accustomed to handing milk
can, with the appliances found In any
well-regulated farmhouse. make uni
formly good cheese.

screw four rollers to the bottom. Next
bore hole through the bottom to take
an inch iron bar just long enough to
keep the cask in position. Let the roll
ers rest on a flagstone or cement floor
so that the barrel may be partly turned
around every day to face the sun. Two
handles should be affixed to the top.
Bore two-inCh holes in a zigzag
around the cask and at each of these
apertures insert the crown, or heal of
the plants in some fine mold. A wire
netting one foot in diameter is placed
in the center of the cask which should
be filled with rich manure. When the

you will have fine crop Of berries and

THE OLD-TIME DAIRY.
Much Fun Was Poked Mt IL, but its
Owner Usually Acquired a
Bank Account.

Only under certain conditions, the
dairy means wealth to tAe farmer, and
fertility to his farm. If these condl-
tons be not secured, and maintained
dairying will exhaust the farm ana I'M
poyerish the farmer more speedily ana
more hopelessly than almost any oth-
er form of farming. When the milk
is sold off the farm, 1t carries with 1t
the fertility of the soil, and generally
the net price of the milk is too 10" 10
pay for making it and to replace the
fertility removed with 1t. This hard
fact underlies all the complaints OF
dairy farmers about the proftiessness
OF dairy farming.
Old-time dairy farming sent from
the farm only the butter, and the old
time farmers made money and were
the most independent men on arth.
Win farmers once more take up nome
churning, dairy farming will once
more become steadily and satlsfac-
torily profitable, and dairy farms Will
once more increase, instead OF de-

1t goes away in cans while the churn
rots in the shed or garnet. 1t nets the
tenant 70 cents for each dollar he puts

owner says he is no good. The tenant
says the farm Is no good-and both
are right The churn, substituted for
the can, would change such farms de-
cidedly and profitably for both owner
and tenant When Will farmers open
their eyes to the business folly i'm
piled In the senseless work that is mis-
called dairy farming?" Butter is the
basis of farm wealth and fertility, but
farmers in these days seem to think
that butter making Is hard work in
comparison with milk shipping. On
this fundamental error they have built
and are maintaining the losing ship

of their farms along with their own
