Eorers in Peach Trees.

I will venture the following sugges.
tons for any who may wish to try
them. In using sharp knife care
should be taken not to girdle the tree.
A good plan is to cut away just enough
of the bark to find the opening, insert
a piece Of wire and give it a little twist
and you have ACCOMPLISHED the work.
This is necessarily a slow and tedious
job for those who have large orchards,
but it will go a long way toward pre-
serving the trees.
1 also find that an effective prevent
i've is the use of wood ashes. Put half
a peck or more of unleached ashes
around each tree-heaped UP around
the body of the tree. The egg pro-
ducing the borer is laid OF, the bark of
the tree just on top of the ground, but
this insect will not work in the ashes.
[ am satisfied that it is the lime and
potash that the insects object to. In
the absence of sufficient amount of
ashes, I would advise the use of kainit,
say a pint n quart, according to the
size of the tree. This should be put in
every year. In the spring is the best
time.-Correspondent in Southern Gull

generations back-the individual faults
and the results to be expected.
All these must be carefully consid-
cred: in a word, we must know exactly
what we are striving for, and make.
our selections accordingly.
We must select strong, vigorous
fowls; good in all sections, and above
all avoiding every one with any faint
of disease which might in any way be
transmitted to the offspring.
What we must have, above all else,
is vigor, without which there is no
hope of success. -
All, in a measure, depends on this!
since no flock OF fowls will produce
good chicks if there is a faint of weak
ness in either parent. Let vigor be
first, then sectional goodness, to fellow
as we may choose.
