An anomaly in grating, being plant
which is growing first-class potatoes At
the roots and bearing fully developed
tomatoes at the stalk, was brought
about by Prof. Green, of the Minnesota
state school of agriculture, when he cut
on the young shoots of potato vine
making V-shaped slit in the top. into
which he inserted freshly clipped
young tomato plant, bound the Joint
with straw and supported it by long
rods. Nature did the rest. IA
The tomato drew sustenance from the
earth through the roots Of the potato
and in return furnished what was =.

On pushing aside the earth several fair

trifle larger than a large hens egg.

THE LADY-BUG FAMILY.

'ts Members Are the Fruit Growers

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 bv
destroying the cottony cushioned scale
which was devastating the orange and
lemon groves. In the study of the
grain aphis it was found that 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 sit,1a-
ton. The larvae of the lady-bug also
live principally upon insects which are
destructive to garden and field crops.
The dainty lady-bug should never be
destroyed.-Scientif1c American. @

How a California Town Has Been
SAE4 Made Attractive. @.&s
E The women Of Petaluma, CAL, have
been the means of transforming that
town from one of the most unattrac-
tive places in the state to one of the
most beautiful, and their work has at
tractea widespread attention, many
other towns and cities wanting to
know how it was done. Petaluma had
reserved two pieces of property for
parks, but had never. succeeded in
making any use of them, says the New
York Tribune. The city trustees
planted few trees and passed a good
many resolutions. and, pending fur
ther action, the parks became the
dumping ground for tin cans and rub
bish of all descriptions. <E - a. ga &
At last the women took the matter
up, and, having raised some money by
entertainments and subscriptions, they
hired men to cart away the rubbish,
grub up the stumps and prepare the
ground for blue grass and clover The
weeds ran the grass and clover out of
existence, but the. women sowed the
seed a second time. Public interest
was aroused, contributions poured in,
and the parks became paradises Of
beauty with green's, fountains. flowers
and rare shrubs. :sSs:a 81 55.S,s.!s E
The women then turned their attention
to other parts of the town and are now
busy supplying information not only to
other towns in California, but to cities
all over the United States. . $

Gathering Fruit Too Soon.

..E
The desire to secure even very smal1
crop OF fruit from young trees leads too
many growers to fruit their trees too
young. In the cases where new ,vaBrie-
ties are planted and the grower wishes
to see the kind and quality Of fruit IT
may be well to permit the trees to bear
"a very few specimens the first or second
bearing year, but it Is better to give 4
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, well cul-
Stivated and inlgood soil, will Invariably
set more fruit than they can bring to
perfection. The practice is invariably
TO take all Of the, fruit OF young trees
the first bearing year at least, and per-
shaps the SECOND, dependent upon the
health OF the tree. a 3
