THE LADY-BUG FAMILY.
sss Members Are the Fruit Growers
Best Friends and Should Never
Be Destroyed.

With their little red wrappers deco
rated with black polka-dots, the various
members of the lady-bug family are gay
and attractive members of the insect
world. They are always mans friend,
and get most of their living by preying
ON the destructive soft-bodied plant
lice, the most common of which
is the green aphis, which can commonly
be found on house plants and rose
bushes. The most striking example of
the usefulness of the lady-bug to the
horticulturists is seen in the case of
Vedalia cardinals, the bug which was
Imported from Australia and which
saved the citrus trees of California by
destroying the cottony- scale
which was devastating the orange and
lemon groves. In the study of the
grain aphis it was found that a species
OF lady-bug preyed upon this pest. The
former were observed to go down among
the roots of the grain in the field in
search of the aphides, and to pass the
winter along with them in that situa-
ton. The larvae of the lady-bug also

pEDIGREES FOR BOGUS CURIOS.
Titled Degenerate In London Who
Cooperated with Shady Deal
ers in Antiquities.

Never has there been more heard
about bogus art antiques, false and
fabricated old masters and the like
than lately, but still great many rich
purchasers lay the flattering JUNCTION
to their souls that they, at least, have
not been gulled, inasmuch as they have
a pedigree of an authentic kind at
tached to every curio they have ever
bought, says London Tit-Bits.
But just as much artfulness and
pains have been employed in the fa-
brication of authentic" histories to
old masters as have been expended on
these latter works themselves. Here
is an actual case-absolutely known at
first hand to the writer, who learned
the whole of the details of shams, each
one with a written pedigree, put off
upon collectors. About town in Lon
don was certain degenerate and titled
member of the aristocracy. The only
sign or shadow of property left to him
was a beautiful ancient manor house
that was mortgaged up to the very hilt.
The house stood, in remote spot and
had scarcely stick of furniture left in
it. A shady dealer in curios of all kinds
sought out the titled ne'er-do-well and
made certain proposals to him. AS
consequence the mortgages on the an
cient manor were paid off and trans
ferred to the dealer in antiquities. Di-
rectly afterward van loads of paint
ings, of black oak furniture, of arms
and armor, of worm-eaten tapestry and
of every conceivable art object began
to arrive at. the almost empty manor
house. Then, in a few weeks, announce
ments began to appear to the effect
that "the ancestral home of the last of
an ancient race (name given) was
about to be denuded of the treasures
of art that had been acquired during
the lives of ancestors for 1,000years."
And this sale positively lasted over
several weeks-as though the very eel
lars had been packed with art treas
ures. Collectors, everywhere. even
usually suspicious ones, pointed to this
or that dearly acquired object and said,
proudly: "That came from Blank
manor house. the wonderful deposit
tory that Lord Memo dispersed" Even
after that Lord Memo disposed of few
things still left in his town house.

Gathering Fruit Too Saan

The desire to secure even very small
crop of fruit from young trees leads too
many growers to fruit their trees too
young. In the cases where new varie-
ties are planted and the grower wishes
to see the kind and quality of fruit. It
may be we'll to permit the trees to bear
a very few specimens the first or second
bearing year, but it is better to give a
very severe thinning out of the fruit
every bearing year, not merely to secure
fine specimens, but to prevent the trees
from being prematurely injured, as all
fruit trees properly cared for, we'll cul-
tivated and in good soil, will Invariably
set more fruit than they can bring to
perfection. The practice is invariably
to take all of the fruit off young trees
the first bearing year at least, and per-
haps the second, dependent upon the
health of the tree

EXCHANGING THE SAFE.
A Business That Is Rep1cte with
Tales of Financial Success
and Failure.

A "safe exchange" in Centre street
failures in the business world, says the
New York Times. There are stored
dozens of strong boxes, from small
private home affairs hardly large
enough to receive gallon jug to huge
vaultlike safes in which two men
might stand. They. tell of reverses Of
fortune. Men or women who have
money and valuables enough to war

safe either at home or at the office,

Their need for the protection against
burglary. Others who own small safes
have their efforts crowned with sue
cesses and find the small boxes made
quate for the accommodation of all
the stuff they want to put under
strong lock and key. Such people deal
with the ''safe exchange"
The proprietor of the place has
noted these rises and falls of the tide
of prosperity in individual instances.
"a couple of years ago." he said the
other day, 'a shabbily dressed man
came to me and purchased a small safe
like this one," and he pointed out one
that was not larger than bushel bas-
ket. ga year later he exchanged it for
larger one. A few days ago he sold
the second one back to me and told me
he was going to a safe company to buy

a prosperous man of business, and
wore fine clothes and a silk hat and
carried a cane. never knew what his
business was, but it's certain he was
successful.
'It would make you weep to see
some of the people who come here to
sell their safes" continued the dealer.
"Many have told me of their hard luck
how they lost their fortune or their
all, whether it was enough to be called
a fortune or not. For people who had
valuables enough to need a safe for
their keeping, they drive hard bar
gains, tell you. They sometimes
argue an exasperatingly long time for
price for their old safes that we alb
solutely could not pay and get out
even on the deal. Their demeanor is
much unlike that of the person who
has been lately successful. Between
the two, of course, we manage to make
our living"

TREES AMONG STUMPS.
A s:.-Ttem OF Orchard Cultivation That
Is Highly Recommended by
Some Authorities.

Mr.. Samuel B. Woods, president OF
the Virginia Horticultural society,
writing to the Rural Yorker, says:
l gave the matter of planting orchards
in new ground much study some years
since. The result was that we planted
$4,000 trees and will set 10000 more
this spring, among the stumps. We
cut the trees down, saw up what will
do for lumber and burn the rest on the
ground. Then we plant the trees in
rows very regularly laid off, and hoe
and bush them thoroughly, going over
the ground about four times season.
We are planting rough mountain land
from 1000 to 1900 feet above the sea
level. We bush with blades and mat
tocks, and we are very anxious to learn
what cheap chemical will kill stump,
and the best way and time to apply it,
as the cost of work would be much re-
duced if we did not have to take off so
many sprouts from the big stumps. AS
we kill out the growth we use a Golfer.
putting the land into corn or peas, and
will thus eventually give all the or
chard cultivation with plow. am sat-
isfied that it is positive advantage
to leave the stumps; they carry the
moisture deep into the ground, help the
drainage and enrich the soil by decay.
You may have noticed that a young
tree planted by an old oak, hickory or
chestnut stump is the best tree in the
orchard. / have. At the same time I
believe that the more cultivation given
to the new ground the better for the
trees. Some people fear that the worms
always found in decayed wood will at
tack the growing trees, but there is no
danger from that source, as the worm
which lives on decayed wood is Of a
different kind entirely from the worm
which attacks growing trees You
might as well expect dove to eat a
hawks food.
We have in Albemarle county some
orchards now in fine bearing raised on
above plan. I have been told of a
peach orchard, the returns from which
have In recent years run up to $25, 900
per annum, which was grown among
the stumps. 1 was talking last year
to a man who has one of the largest
orchards in the state, and who had
spent good deal of money in pulling
up stumps and getting the land abso-
lutely cleared, and he stated to me
that if he had to do it over again he
would leave the stumps, as he regarded
their advantages as outweighing their
disadvantages, and in addition the cost
of the work was tremendous. He told
me that it cost as much to fill up the
hole as it did to pull the stump, which
| had not thought of.

Currnnt and Gooseberry worm

The currant and gooseberry worms
that consume the leaves, leaving the
bushes bare of foliage, will weaken the
bushes SO much that the berries will
not ripen-even the bushes being
sometimes killed. The worms may be
poisoned by the use of hellebore dis
solved in water. and the bushes sprayed
with it. Take a tablespoonful of the
hellebore, add quart of hot water, and
allow it to stand few hours; then
add to it pailful Of water and spray
the bushes with it. An old broom will
answer very well for spraying. The
worms are soon killed, and the poison
will not last long. In few days the
berries msy be eaten.-Midland Farmer.
