APPLE TREE BORERS.
There Are Two Kinds of This Pest
as a General Rule-Often
Three Are Found.

Two kinds of borers are usually
mentioned as troubling apple trees,
although there are often three kinds,
especially in the neighborhood of oak
timber, writes F. c. Pellet in Fruit
Farmer. The two kinds usually no.
ticed are round-headed and fiat headed
apple tree borers. The third is much
tive 1t is known as the prionus or
giant root borer.
The round-headed bDrer works near
the base of the tree. at or near the
surface of the ground This species
requires three years to reach maturity.
The hat-headed borer more often at
lacks s1ckly trees, and is especially
likely to enter at points injured by
sun scald, thus not only boring about
the base, but also about the trunk and
sometimes larger limbs. The prionus
is a larger borer, about the size of a
mans little finger. 1t usually works
near the timber, sometimes being
troublesome on the outside rows and

When once seen these pests will al
ways be recognized at once. Wood
peckers are effective In reaching the
borers that work above ground, their
beaks and tongues being specially con-
structed for that purpose. The washes
so widely advertised for the proven
ton of borers must be used with great
caution for many of them contain ele-
ments injurious to the trees. Many
growers report loss of trees by the
application Of some of the prepared
washes.

is A FRIEND OF BIRDS.
Feathered Creatures Should Always
Be Taken Into Consideration
by Fruit Growers.

The fruit grower who does not take
the birds into consideration is in the
wrong business, to say the least.
Some growers make the fatal mis-
take of destroying the birds that eat
cherries and berries. 1t is true they
do sometimes become very annoying,
but this can be lessened by planting
wild fruits that ripen at the same time
as the cultivated ones. Mulberries Will
help save the cherries, as will wild
cherries, elderberries, wild grapes. etc.
A recent publication of the depart
ment of agriculture names over 100 diff
ferent insects eaten by the Bob White,
among which may be mentioned potato
beetles, boil weev1l, corn bill bugs. click
beetles. chinch bugs. cotton worms,
grasshoppers. etc. all harmful to the
farmer. It states that "as many as At
cotton boil weevils were known to be
eaten at a single meal" and that
"chinch bugs" are destroyed by the
tablespoonful
And yet the farmer will permit the
city sport to tramp over his fields,
leave the gates open and shoot the last
quail on the place, says the Prairie
Farmer. No one accuses the quail OF
destroying grain or fruit yet unfortu-
nately 1t is good to eat and must be
sacrificed to the appetite of the game

POINTS ON TRANSATLANTIC
rvrss Paragraphs diving Results Of
Study on tho Art-Care Must
Be Taken.

First Of all, the plants should not be
vet out TIL they have been thoroughly
hardened. This has been repeated so
many times that there should be no
need to mention 1t, were 1t not that
the mistake is regularly made of set
ting plants too early. Nothing is
gained and much lost IL the plants are
Injured By cold.
The odd way was to soak the ground
before the plants we're taken up, then
set in mud. This Is unnecessary. Il
Is better to let the soil get dry. The
plants are then much easier to move.
Let the dirt fall off the roots il 1t
will, but either set out the plants at
once or pack them we'll.
The time for setting plants rs a
cloudy or rainy day. says Prairie
Farmer. Then the plants have q lit
tie time to recover before the sun
strikes them. But as weather is not
made to order it is not advisable to
wait for the right kind of day. The
evening will do quite we'll The diff
ference between morning and evening
for moving plants is evident to those
who have tried 1t.
Dip the roots in water, then set in
moist earth. Pour on some water If
the ground Is very dry. but there is
much less need for this than is COM
monty supposed. Growth will not be-
gin till the ground has dried out
enough and If there is water to he
eyaporated the temperature will be
hept down.
Spread ont the roots and cover snug
ly with earth. If the soil is loose there
is danger that the roots will dry out
Leave the surface soil loose. This will
serve as mulch to retain the mois-
tnre. 1t should be an inch OF two deep,
If the plants are large.
All broken roots and foliage should
be taken off. They do no good and are
drain upon the plant. since 1t will
try to keep them alive.
A luxnriant growth Of top should be
cut back. The same applies to the
root, though the need for 1t does not
occur so often. Root and top systems
should be balanced.
The leaves of tomato plants should
not be wet. Even the wet hands
should be kept off the foliage. This
may be small matter but it is impor-
tant

When to Cut Alfalfa.

To get the most out of the alfalfa crop
It should be cut when in full bloom
and this time covers about a week. The
man that has large field to cut must
keep In mind the fact that he must be-

heads get too old. A good many exper
iments have been made to. discover the
very best time for the cutting in reia-

of these insects. but they also infest
corn, peas. beans and other crops and

most difficult to combat, says the
Prairie Farmer. The beetle hiber-

the pest The planting Of trap crops Of
early squash Is recommended, these

stroyed. Paris green may also be used
on the crops infected with much sue

right for the vines to run on. but an
other arrangement is sometimes made
that is excellent. though involving a
little more work. A row of crotched
sticks about seven feet above ground
Is set six or eight feet apart. the
length Of the garden. In the crotches
poles are laid continuously
Against this ridge or plate other
poles eight or nine feet long are
placed at right angles like rafters on
a house, these being spaced about two
feet apart. These poles are arranged
on both sides and at the foot of each
pole a hill OF beans is to be planted
and the vines trained to take the
poles. ~

being very neat looking. is not likely
to be blown down with the mass Of
