One of the worst enemies Of the cur

to deal is the imported stem borer. sesia
tipuliformis. One reason why the dam
age is SO great is that q single borer may
destroy an entire cane. and few an en-

aware that any damage has been done.

pearance. The females usually lay their
eggs soon aftet they emerge in the
spring, upon canes about one year old,
and most frequently in the angle made
by the leaf and the cane. ...,.i.. +
These eggs soon hatch and the little
worm or larva eats itssway at once to the
center Of the cane, where it feeds and
grows well protected from all enemies.

Plant a Few Shade Trees.

i Mistakes are often made by not set
ting out shade trees in early LIE.
Fifty years ago the writer set out
some sugar naples in front of the
dwelling-house. they are now ten
feet higher than the two-story house,
and in the summer it is great pleas
ure to sit in their shade. They also
make the house cooler in hot weathec,
and serve as windbreak. Many put
off this duty until old age overtakes
them. When one plants trees of any
kind and reaps the benefit thereof it
seems natural that he should enjoy

2-Larvae or borer proper.
3-Section of stem showing work Of borer
and how the adult energies.
These larvae grow slowly and are but
partly grown when cold weather comes
on, when they prepare for winter by
retiring to the most protected, part Of
their tunnels and Surrounding them
selves by chewed-up fbers and other
waste material. In this way they pass
the winter in safety and with the first
warm days of spring they begin active
operations again and soon reach their
full size.
The full grown larva then prepares
to pupate and first eats hole through
the cane, from which the adult moth
may escape. It then changes to a pupa,
and towards the end of May or in June
changes to the adult form, which lays
more eggs, and thus starts again the life
cycle.
A great many ways have been suggest
ed for combating this insect. Some of
them are Of no value and none of them
is entirely satisfactory. Perhaps the
most effective one is to prune away the
affected canes. From what has been
said of the life history Of the borer it
will be seen that before the first of June
all Of the insects are in the canes, either
In the larva or pupa stage. At this time
OF the year. too. these canes show the
results of the borer's work, so that with
q little experience it is possible to cut
out all Of the canes infested with borers.

THE NEGLECTED ORCHARD.
T. L Not Only . sou-es q Constant
Loss But Also Breeding Pace
fer Parasites.

Here and there are stiN to b found
neglected orchards. which, are almost
always, improbable orchards.a It il
the result Of the old time conditions.
Tt oldtime farmer would plant an
o!Snards and then leave taitself.
SAsliteae vas known about the require
ments Of orchard trees that it was
s.eosed- that they would dght eir
way forward ID spite of any inverse
conditions, like an oak tree in. the for
est;hft' was believed that neither grass
nor any insects could. stop the fruit
fulness OF the orchard tree, ana that
no particular care was necessary.
That was considered the advantage
that orchard trees lad over other farm
products; they could be set ont, aud
would thenceforth require mo further
notice. In time the planter awoke in
surprise to find that very few Of his
trees were giving him good. returns.
Mare and there a tree seemed to. be
doing exceptionally well, and was load
ed with fruit, at least once in two
years. But the other trees either bore
little of-the, fruit produced was--so
'1WE that Fly seenld be used for rnnthtng
but cider. Here and there were trees
that the wind had strtpped Of half
their limbs and the bearing wood was
small in quantity. At other places in
the orchard hearts had rotted and the
trees had split in two, leaving perhaps
but one unsightly branch or limb to
bear fruit. Yet for the most part these
unsightly objects were left to- stand.
The owner seemed never to think 1t
necessary to put good trees in their
place.
AS a result we have orchard areas
covered with tree stragglers with
waste patches Of ground between and
the whole yielding SO little fruit that
the new orchardist in the vicinity is
discouraged about putting out trees.
The old orchard he sees is something
of a nightmare, and acts az a damper
on his spirits. The orchardist of the
present day refuses to permit tree
to remain that is not Of value in the
orchard. He digs out the old tree and
plants new one. II the variety prove
not desirable one the tree is sent
to the woodpile and a better variety
started in the place where the old one
grew.
In the neglected orchard, says Farm
ers' Review. valuable space Is given
to worthless trees. In the modern
orchard every square Of space must
give good account of itself. In the
future there should be no neglected
orchards. We have come to know 30
much about what an orchard requires
that there is no excuse II we do not
succeed. And first We have learned
that no orchard can be neglected and
produce fruit in paying quantities.
The orchard is not the pet crop of the
easy-goer. The man that owns 1t must
work it at different times Of year
The ground must be cultivated, the
branches pruned. the foliage sprayed
and new trees substituted for the old
and worthless ones. ~,
The well-handled orchard Is always
profitable, but the neglected orchard
almost never so.

LIVELY BALLOON VOYAGE.
Perilous Trip Of European Aeronauts
Who Sailed Into the Focus
Of Storm.

For the first mile, while slowly ris-
Ing, the balloon zigzagged between the
lower currents, until at approximately
5000 feet it encountered main sweep
of air, which at that height was follow
Ing the course of the valley below, says
a writer in Longman's Magazine. The
horizon had been clear at starting and
the impression was as we sailed along
in the current that we should have a fair
passage, unless some cloud, not yet ap-
parent, in our wake could overtake us
at a higher level, where wind velocity is
generally greater. Perhaps, therefore,
we paid insufficient heed to q murky
veil ahead of us, which began gathering
and deepening and blotted out the view.
We were soon enveloped in the gray
curtain and thus its true appearance was
lost to us; but at Newbury, our starting
ground. a large crowd was watching us
entering vast and most menacing
thunder-pack, and was wondering why
we did not come down. 81
The first real warning which we had
of our predicament was flash of light
ming close on our quarter, answered by
another on our side, and almost before
we could realize 1t we found we were
in the very focus of q furious storm
which was being borne on an upper
wind, and a wild conflict was already
raging round US. There was our own
fast current carrying us westward;
there was the storm cloud slightly above
us hurrying to the east; and added to
these there now descended a pitfless
down-draught of ice cold air and hail.
We were doubtless in q cloud which was
discharging lightning over wide area,
each. fash, however, issuing from the
Immediate vicinity of the balloon, and
the idea formed on the writer's mind
was that many flashes were leyel-that
is, as II from one part of the cloud to
another. Any that reached the ground
must from our known position have
been at least mile long. ~
There was another idea forced upon
the party, which was that they would
be more comfortable and far safer else
where, and when suitable opportunity
occurred descent was made to earth.
