APPLE TREE BoRERS.
There Are Two Kinds Of This Pest
as General Rule-0ften
Three Are Found. E

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 +. c. Pellet In Fruit
Farmer. The two kinds usually no.
ticed are round-headed and flat-headed
apple tree borers. The third is much
larger than either, and more destruc-
tive. 1t is known as the prionus or
giant root borer. &t1
The round headed borer works pear
the base of the tree, at or near the
surface of the ground. This SPECIES
requires three years to reach maturity.
The fiat-headed borer more ofte1 at
tacks sickly trees, and is especially
likely to enter at points injuredl by
sun scald, thus not only boring about
the base, but also about the trunk, and
sometimes larger limbs. The prionus
is larger borer, about the size OF q
mans little finger. 1t usually works
near the timber, sometimes being
troublesome on the outside rows and
not bothering in the interior Of the
orchard. Nothing is known that WILL
reach this fellow, as the tree is gen
orally in a dying condition before his
presence is suspected. 1t often begins
work in the tap root, and bores up into
the tree. I have seen young nursery
stock with the entire heart eaten out
by this insect, only the bark remain
ing, and have had Rome beauty trees
six years old cut off by it.
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. g
In q bulletin issued by the depart
ment of agriculture soft soap reduced
to the thickness of paint by the add
ton of washing soda is recommended,
and is probably safer and better than
most of the so-called tree paints or
fered for sale. About the only remedy
We use is to dig out the larvae with
a sharp knife or wire. BY giving the
orchard thorough attention once or
twice a year they can be kept 81. IN

are particularly subject to the attacks
of these insects, but they also infest
corn, peas, beans and other crops and
when appearing in large numbers are
most difficult to combat, says the
Prairie Farmer. The beetle hiber-
mates and in the early spring deposits
it's eggs on the ground, the larvae from
which burrow in the earth and destroy
the roots of the plant. To get rid of
the pest the planting Of trap crops of
early squash is recommended, these
being either sprayed or busted with
arsenical poisons, so that by the time
the main crop is planted and above
ground the insects will have been de-;
stroyed Paris green may also be used
on the crops infected with much sue

When to Cut Alfalfa.

To get the most out of the alfalfa crop
II should be cut when in full bloom,
and this time covers about week. The
man that has a large field to cut must
keep in mind the fact that he must be-
gin early to get the hay down before the
heads get too old. A good many exper-
iments nave been made to discover the
very best time for the cutting in rela-
ton to the digestibility and greatest
amount of nutritive contents. Too early
cutting gives a good degree of digestt-
bility. but too little nutriment and late
cutting give large nutritive content
but too little observation-disclosures

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
q 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.
p A trellis made In this way, besides
being very neat looking, is not likely
to be blown down with the mass of
vines, as often happens with upright
poles.

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over ono hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases como before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been 60

Surely women are wise In seeking
advice from woman of such expert

Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fdence' of women, and every testimo.
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
.A~ Overa year ago I wrote you letter asking
advice, az I had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. received your
kind letter Of instructions and followed your
advice. am not only a we'll woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl.
wish every suffering woman IN tho land would
write you for advice, as you have done 50

! Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound euro every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all tho world
has such record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which q druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,

Of Wide Interest,

Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for

is of interest to the whole United States.
Put briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medi-
cine on the market to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason for
this Judgment. He says: Last winter I
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the morning
I could hardly straighten my back. did
ment led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After taking one box can only say they
have done more for me than expected as
I feel as well now as ever I did before"
Pain in the back il one of the first
symptoms Of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills; it may de-
yelop into Bright's Disease; Diabetes,

forms of Kidney Disease.

Ancient Egypt
Knew tho Virtues Of tho
liking Of Foods"

Since the earliest annals of Old
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king of foods.
It has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms of making
wheat into food products some OF
the best elements are lost. a.
Bread has been aptly termed,
"the staff Of life,' as it alone" OF
known foods has all the elements
that are needed to sustain life.
Egg-O-See contains all the best
elements of wheat in far more
healthful and delicious form than
any bread, crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat delicately faxed
and crushed, it is made still more
digestible by the addition of refined
diastase, the highest grade OF malt.
There are no premiums or gifts
in the Egg-O-See package; moth
ing but full measure of the highest
grade of cereal food in the world.
