have fine fruit you should prune about
one-half Of every years growth. The

The damage done the fruit crop va

ing the ravages of this insect
In some sections of the country this
insect is so abundant that it would
render all of the apples unmarketable
ii it were permitted to take its course.
In the worst. infested areas, however,
says the Farmers Review. the apple
growers are making the hardest fight
against 1t and are saving from 80 to
80 per cent. of their crops. They
would save about all If all the grow
ers of apples would take preventive
measures, but some men will do moth
ing, and the insects hatch In their
orchards and fly to the orchards OF
the men that do protect their trees
and so work some havoc.
The insect is not native to this coun-
try, but came over SO long ago that 1t
Is difficult to be sure of its first ad-
vent. It was first known in south
eastern Europe. where the apple first
established itself as a cultivated fruit
But as the apple was distributed this
insect followed 1t, till now 1t Is well
known and feared in almost every parl
of the world. 1t is spread with fruit
having the worms inside. These in.
sects complete their worm life, crawl
out Of the fruit spin cocoons. and &c
into the chrysalis stage. Then they
emerge as moths and begin to lay
eggs in the calyx ends of apples.
The apple is the fruit that is mos
infested, but In the absence of the ap.
pie the insect attacks also pears
ounces, prunes. plums, peaches ant
cherries. The injury done these fruits
Is not, however, great. Spraying thu
fruit in the period of first development
has proved to be the most effectiv,
way of checking the insect On thu
subject Of spraying we have published
a great deal. Every man that has al
orchard OF apple trees should maxi
preparations to spray his fruit for th'
cOdling moth.

Where to Plant Peach Trees.

Years ago the peach was thought tc
be tender tree, needing the utmost
degree of protection. 1t was planted,
therefore, in the most sheltered spots
on the south side of buildings and
windbreaks, or hidden away among 9TH
er trees. That method has been COM
pletely revolutionized because the buds
are liable to expand during periods Of
mild weather in winter, and suffer dam
age in subsequent freezes. In addition
the trees themselves, by reason of their
sheltered location. are less likely to
ripen their wood after seasons growth
In time to be perfectly dormant when
winter sets in. Peaches are now planted
on the north side of buildings and wind
breaks or In any exposed situation.

Marking Cows.

The question Of marking cattle in
dairy herds is one that often bothers
the owner. He wants some effective
way to distinguish one from the other,
especially the younger ones. The
metallic mark in the ear is popular
with many, though 1t has disadvan-
tage in being lost by pulling out, which
mutilates the ear. Straps about the
neck are adopted in some places where
the expense Of the method is not OBJ
jected to; a brass tag being slipped
over the strap. There Is revival of
interest in the tattooing Of the ear with
figures or letters. This is said to be
a permanent and sure means of iden-
tification, cheap and easily done, but
like all other things, has its failings-
too hard to find in hurry-Jersey

the lower half of the circle into the soil
Ito anchor it and to prevent worms
from easily burrowing beneath. 1t
takes but a short time--and only few
cents-thus to protect several hundred
newly-set trees.
For cabbage plants, etc, a smaller
band may prove more convenient. All
that is necessary is to have the paper at
least an inch and onehalf away from all
parts of the plant or tree; to have the
edges Tapped tightly; and to make sure
that no worms are hid in the soil be-
tween the paper and the plant. Amy
kind of stiff paper, or wood veneer, or
tin, will do; we prefer tar-paper because
it is lasting and cheap
An orchard or garden thus protected
Is safe for many weeks-until cutworm
danger is mostly over. Just why the
worms do not "climb over the fence" is
a puzzle But they very rarely do. The
writer of this article has watched them
in his own orchard at night, seen them
climb up the paper fence on the outer
side, crawl all around the top, reach in
"uluo III a vain " tou'h tiC
circled tree. and then-sullenly, disgust
edly--crawl down on the outside. the
way they had come! That they do not
often crawl down on the inside, is Gu
rious fact.
Another way of fighting cutworms is
to scatter punches of poisoned vegeta-
tion (clover. weeds, etc, moistened with
Paris green and water) here and there in
the field or orchard. Some people rec
ommend poisoned bran, too. But, per-
sonally, we prefer not to scatter poi
soned eatables about the farm, so long
as we can erect enough paper fences
Three points to remember about cut
worms: They prefer sandy soils In
which to hide and winter. Persistent
cultivation of any soil is unfavorable tc
them. Pieces of board laid near trees OF
plants serve as traps for cutworms; lift
such pieces each morning and kill the
worms found hiding beneath.

The Cause of Blight.

Blights are caused by minute plants
called fungi. These are vegetable
parasites, which, sink their roots into
the substance OF the plants and draw
nourishment therefrom. As long as
the plants can supply more food than
these parasites can use. the effects of
the blight is not apparent. AS soon
as the parasites begin to use more
food than their host plants supply, the
leaves or twigs, as the case may be, die,
or such parts Of them as are affected by
the blight.
