Borers in Fruit Trees.

what can be done for borers in ap-
Pile and peach trees ?" is often asked
and in every section. There have been
some thirty or more remedies tried, but
none Of them are absolutely effcctual.
When the trunk Of the tree is wound
with fine wire netting the fly lays her
eggs in the branches. Painting the
trunk does little good. The Hy usually
crawls in between the bark aud grass
roots where the soil has been pushed
away from the tree. Hoeing away all
the loose dirt, bark and grass down to
the hard soil does not make il an in.
viting place, and she may 90 on to a
neighbours tree. Work should be done
in spring, as the eggs are laid soon after
warm weather comes. Every tree should
be examined carefully, and wherever
the brown sawdust shows at the surface
dig them out. Scraping the bark Of the
peach tree at the proper time will kill
the newly Matched worms before they
penetrate to the inner bark. They are
very small aud white. and lie close to
the outside Of the bark. being only just

Weed Flavor in Milk.

At the Alabama experiment station
bitter weed taste was removed from the
cream by mixing with two or more parts
Of water at any temperature above 7C
degrees II. and then running it through
a cream separator. No means we're found
by which bitter weed taste could be re
moved from milk The compound 10 the
bitter weed which gives milk bitter
taste is held very largely il not entirely
in the milk serum. The more complete
ly the serum is separated from the fat
the less is the degree Of bitterness in
the cream.
Wild onion favor was not removed
from cream by mixing il with water
and then running It through the cream
separate. No method was found by
which the onion flavor could be removed
from either milk or cream. The com
pound in the wild onion which gives
milk bad flavor is held very largely
IL not entirely by the fat, and the more
completely the serum is separated from
the fat the more concentrated is the
onion favor in tho cream.

HOW TO SET A HEN.

As the season is now approaching
when we will begin to set hens, it may
not be amiss to give few ways Of hand
ling them. A room apart from the flock
should be arranged, where the hens will
not be disturbed. 1t should be large
and dry, and somewhat dark, with just
a ray of sunlight from window.
Any number may be set in the same
room by arranging the nests side by
side around the edge Of the floor. We
have seen two dozen faithfully perform
ing their task in large room 40 by SO
feet-the feed box, water pot and dust
box occupying the centre Of the room.
The nest box should be so construct
ed that when hen is brought from the
laying house and put in it she can be
confined for day. Otherwise she may
possibly desert it in an effort to return
to her usual place.
Make the nests Of clean straw or hay,
and put few china eggs under the
hens until they have become entirely
reconciled to the change and have learn
ed to leave the nest for food
When they show that they intend to
set faithfully, put the eggs under them,
not too many; dust them with insect
powder and leave them quietly alone.
If possible set two or more at the same
time, so the broods of two can be given
to one hen, and the other hen be rested
or returned to the yard with the layers.
Watch them closely for few days,
after which only an occasional trip to
replenish the supply Of food and water
and to clean up the floor will be re.
quired.
About the eighteenth day dust them
again with insect powder, after which
they will need no further care until the
chicks begin to hatch-and then only
to see that the shells are removed from
the nest. This should be carefully done
by reaching under the hen with one
hand in such way as not to disturb
her.
After the chicks are Matched let them
remain in the nest for "a hours, after
which the brood and hen should be re.
moved TO a dry room or shed and LEFT
quietly alone for few hours Let the
chicks nestle under the hen, aud when
hunger prompts them they will readily
come out and begin to eat. Their frs
food should be stale crackers or rolled
oats, moistened a little, and given every
two hours for the FIRST few days. Give
fresh water or sweet milk to drink, bu
arrange it in some way that they may
not get wet. An old fruit can, with a
very small hole punched near the top,
filled with water and inverted in small
dish or saucer makes nice and cheaI
fountain.
If chicks are started right the losl
will be light and we will have but little
trouble with them.-Home and Farm

can from the pitchers box, and I have often seen him dash in on a bunt, pick 1t up on the run and send it either un- derhand or overland to the first base man with faultless speed and accuracy.
 Parent is also capable of covering a large amount of territory and is unusu- ally steady. He never gets rattled and consequently is an anchor to his team Robert Wallace excels in many ways.

 George Davis. one of the three play CTS for whom John T. Brush tried to have set aside the findings of the Chi cago peace conference, is splendid type of the brilliant performer. He is not nearly so steady as Parent or Wal lace and has off days when he could not stop anything smaller than a Maine hay barn. On his good days he is un- questionably the best man on the dia- mond.

His bank cannot stand the strain, and the gay young couple try to decide in what way they can retrench. This devoted little wife uses her thinking cap for awhile because Albert is seriously worried and decides that they can do without after dinner cof- fec" Is not this inane? Finally she conceives the brilliant idea of borrow ing from a money lender, Isaacs, of whom she has heard from house to house manicurist. Isaacs is used by wealthy women in embarrassed mo- ments. This move she makes with the assistance of her French maid and without the knowledge of her husband, and for three months the luxury con- tinues unaided by the father and with no questions from the husband, though gossip whispers of the wealthy single male friend of the family.

LAWsoN,s JUMPERS.

 The string, which includes some good material, will remain there to recuper- ate in the invigorating Saratoga spring climate until early in the month of May, when Trainer Ralph Black will take the horses back to the home quar- ters in Massachusetts.
 As in past seasons, the Lawson horses will take an active part in the Country club meeting at Brookline Mass.
 At the Broolxline meeting in May last year MT. Lawson's Filon Dor won the valuable Grand Annual Country Club steeplechase and the handsome cuL which the association presents to the winning owner of that event.

A Brilliant Husband.

This novel husband enjoys the wealth his wife has obtained without ques- tion and scouts any suggestions against her purity. In this he is wise, and she is worthy of his faith The unbelieVlng aunt, who is not Cynthia crazy, aids the development of the denouement with the assistance of the maid and when suspicion points to the hiding of the admirer in the library the patient Isaacs is discovered instead of Teddy. He has been waiting the return of the master to lay before him his claim for his long overdue payments.

finished and artistic manner. Charles Cherry, an actor unknown to me, is good. He played Cynthia's husband in manly and natural way and left a most agreeable impression. Everybody in the cast is Cynthia's something or other, and some of her possessions are not enviable ones. Her French maid was execrable, and in charity I with hold the name of the player. She seemed to think she was in vaudeville. Kate Pattison Selten as Cynthia's aunt was good and looked very handsome like Arnold Daly in what I have seen him do, and while his role in Cynthia is not so good as the one he played in The Bird In the Cage.' he was quite satisfactory as Teddy.

It is absolutely lncomprehensiblet to me how people can allow such situations to remain in play after once seeing them acted. Their incongruity is so apparent. Here enter the aunt and father to prevent Albert from going to the Gold Coast to work and run the risk of dying of fever.

"Prince of Pilsen.n

At the Broadway theater '"The Silver Slipper" has given place to another mu- sical comedy, and the Prince of Pil- sen" now holds forth. The book is from the pen of Frank Pixley and the music by Gustave Luders. These gentlemen wrote another great success, "Kinp Dodo," and they can rest content as to the. success of this new opera. The book and music are above the usual standard of works of this kind, and tha lyrics are especially poetic, though thai term is not exactly suited to the verses of comic opera. The story is less airy than usual and hangs together very well. There is some excitement in Nice because of the expected arrival of the Prince of Pilsen, and the hotel is over crowded. dashing young widow is among the guests and is most anxious to meet the prince because once when she was thrown from her horse and left senseless on the road the prince, with his retinue, passed and took her to a hotel, where when she recovered she learned the name of her rescuer
