Cleansing Bark of Fruit Trees.

Every tree IL an orchard should be
washed at least twice a year with
strong soapsuds. but there will be no
necessity for scraping them. The cat
erpillars should be destroyed as soon
as the nests are seen, which will end
large numbers with amazing rapdity :;
the escape of single pair means thou
sands next season. One of the best
assistants to an orchard is the little
wren. If farmers will give him prop
er protection by constructing boxes
with entrances so small that no bird
but a wren can enter, the sparrow Will
be unable to drive it away AS the
wren is an active and busy creature. it
destroys large number of insects in
Il very short time. and. as it increases
rapidly under favorable circumstances,
quite a large number of them may be
secured and induced to remain in the
orchard. if proper facilities are af
forded for their protection and accom-

PHILIPPINE FARMERS.
Their Buying of Steam Ploughs, etc
Tells of Progress.

U1
Within the province of Nueva Ecija
alone some five or six modern rice hulling
mills have been built since the compile
ton of the railroad, and most of them
are owned and run by Filipinos of the
province.
At several stations along the new rail
road modern ploughs and harrOws have
been unloaded for farmers, who are be-
coming disconnected with their antiquat-
ed implements.
Only a few days ago, says Philippine
Education published i'll Manila, a trac-
ton engine and a three gang steam pillow
were sent to Nueva Ecija for one of its
wealthy and progressive Filipino farm
ers. This man has 80 hectares of land
1t always took 800 carabacs and scores
of men from two to three months to till
this land. By the new method two or
three men will do the same work a great
deal better in cne-third of the time.
