Answer by En,omologis, G,
w. Hc.rick, Agricultural Col
lcge, Miss:
In reply TO the above letter
would say tina, probably the APP
pie trees arc affected with the
apple twig borcr. This is a
small black beetle that borcs in
to the ends OF the branches,
bu-rowing Out 4 tunnel down
the center OF the twig for some
distance. This insect is much
more destructive TO the grape.
vine than TO the apple tree, and
it il quite possible that the in
sect spoken of IN the letter was
not the twig borcr, but another
and different species.
II Mr.. Branch would send me
two or three Of the insects caus-
ing the trouble, together with
some branches showing the
work Of the insect, ! could tell
him exactly what the insect was
and perhaps suggest rene

Ronhaa LEARNED Much at Athens.

The rise of George V. Bonhag to ath-
letic greatness as a runner during the
past few months has been the result
of hard work and careful study. Many
athletics are termed great but few
deserve it. To be Il great athlete a
man must be able to make records at
his speciality, and by his recent Won
derful four mile record run, when he
eclipsed Willie Days long standing
American record. Bonhag has justly
earned the tide Of great"
While Bonhae ran some slashing
races before that time he may be truly
said to have learned to run at the
Olympic games at Athens last spring
Before that time the crack indoor run
ner, like most American distance men,
depended upon his finish rather than
running all the way TO win his races.
After seeing Lieutenant Hawtrey and
other crack Englishmen run at Athens
Bonhag figured out that their ability
lay in being able to make the race
from start to finish and in converse.
ton just after the big meet said,
When you see Bonhag in a race after
this you will see him racing in the
lead right from the start and not fin.
ishing up with any grand stand sprint
Bonhag has followed up the first part
of his programme. but he has retained
the sprinting finish In spite of the fact
that he goes along at merciless clip
in the early stages of the race.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Self For Dairy Cows.

Extensive tests and investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
tiops to determine the ACCESSIBILITY OF
adding salt to the ration of dairy cows,
AS result Of these trials, it is recon-
mended that dairy COWS he givens at
least one ounce of salt per day. EN-
ceptonally heavy mixers PIN require
more than this. The uns rm results
obtained with all cows employed in
these trials indicate that salt in addi-
ton to that obtained in their food is
absolutely essential to the continued
health of a dairy cow while producing
milk IT is evident, moreover. that the
amount Of salt which must be supplied
directly will greatly vary in different
localities, 1t being more at high eleva-
tions and at places remote from the
sea.

Manure Trenches.

More mistakes are made in the con
struction of manure trenches than in
any other simple feature connected
with COW stalls If less than eight
inches deep, cows will stand with
their hind feet in them and will step
into them In passing In and out. If
eight to ten inches deep, cows soon
learn to step over them, and very few
cows will stand with their hind feet
in them. The trench should be wide
enough to admit scoop shovel. and
this means fifteen to eighteen inches
wide, Trenches of this size will hold
two days accumulations, which in
case Of storms is great convenience.
