Destroying the Rose Aphis.

Many rose growers will be glad
to know how to combat their worst
enemy, the rose aphis. BY follow
ing one of the suggested plans they
will experience no difficulty in de-
stroying them. One of the easiest
ways to free your plants, providing
YOU can arrange receptacle to
cover them up practically air tight
could be to use the fumes of nico-
tine, nicoticide or some other prep
..ration of tobacco Some of our
growers have arranged little can

fully closed up they burn a small
quantity of tobacco stems, dust OF

or cheap grade of tobacco under
this canvas and kill the aphis by
smoking. If the burning of the
tobacco is slow il produces much
stronger and more effective smudge
than wh.re il burns fast. There is
no danger of injuring the plants,
unless you male it very strong,
and this is not often the case where
smudging is done outside. The
liquids of tobacco, such as nicoti
eide and nicotine, may be evapo-
rated in tent or box by an al
lamp and similar results
be obtained However, this ar
is not possible where
the plants are grown on porch posts
or against the side of the house, so
we must resort to some sort of
spray. Probably the best spray to
use in a case of this kind would be
one ounce of fir tree oil to one
quart of water. This seems rather
strong, but it is one of the most |
harmless things TO use on plants,
and, vet. one of the most effective
insect destroyers can recon-
mend. The FIX tree oil would be
for general spraying of
arge trees, but such plants can be

II must be remembered in this
country. on fertile land, you can
grow as much between the rows of
fruit trees as can be produced in
the east under the most favorable
conditions with crops occupying all
of the ground. This contemplates
intensive farming, no waste land.
II may require you to start your
oanteloupes in berry cups in hot
bed then transplant them, in order
to get to market by the time the
Rocky Ford crop comes on. You
should at least be able to supply

Ford people have shown you how.
1t requires no more ability to be
successful on small ranch than'it
does to hold the ordinary job in
the city and the ordinary job in the
city means a salary barely suffi
cient to pay the monthly bills with
no prospect of competency for

The Technique of Home Making

Cook. sweep, dust and sew,
these four will never make a happy
home" writes the editor in Wo-
mans Home Companion for July.
"They do not make SYMPATHY,
and love, and ambition, and faith !;
but they go a long way toward
making room for these things.
The average bride has a trunkful
of ideals, and maybe two trunkfuls
of clothes. Her cook book if she
has one and the leaves are cutat all
"opens easily to "fudge". But
unless she has mastered enough
pages of this book to get three
meals day, without exhausting
her own body and soul, and her
husband S, too, she will have little
time for clothes and none at all for
ideals. She finds herself involved
in the mastery of the merest tech
nical details. In spite of her best
endeavors, her husband loses his
for badly cooked food
poorly served. Perhaps she tells
him that he couldn't do it so we'll
himself, and then he tells her
about what he can do perhaps it's
a joint or adding up a
column of figures or drawing a
straight line between two given
points-but anyhow he can do it,
because it is his business and he
las perfected himself in it and if |
then COOK and Sweep

loors of that house, and Sympathy
and Love and Ambition and Plith
