IN make their appearance in the hen

in the brood coops with the hen and

about the roosts and nests, than to
first appear with the mother hen and
her little ones, and they are nuisance

get in the roostng and nesting qaur-

the poultry premises of he mites aft

move and burn all nest material and
char the nest boxes ever strong

In Tennessee, this season. Their de-
structive work is over now for this
season, but if the bacterial germs or
seeds are allowed to remain in the or
chard undisturbed, their destructive
work will be far more destructive for
1907 than it was in 1906. The proper
time to check it is when the tips OF
the limbs begin to turn brown. Cut
those limbs at any time eight inches
below the Drowned leaves, and burn
them.

Squash eorers in cantaIoupe Vines.

Since the acreage in cantaloupes
has doubled itself in Tennessee in the
last year, the squash borer has become
an important parsonage in the success
of the crop.
Tobacco stems are being ground in
to dust similar to snuff, and this dust
has been successfully used at the in
dustrial school, near Nashville, in
keeping the squash bugs off the vines
of several varieties of plants. Old to-
bacco boiled like tea can be applied to
plants with great benefit. Do not make
the tea too strong; try it at different
degrees of strength.
Sprinkle snuff or tobacco dust over
the hills of cantaloupes and place
more dirt on them, and new roots will
form higher up and help support the
plants. Be up and experimenting to
save the cantaloupe crop.-Southerr
Agriculturalist.
