Fellow That Doesn't Spray.

One of the complaints that come to
this Office is that the orchards that
are sprayed and taken care of are in.
tested with insects from orchards
that are not sprayed and are not
taken care of. Sometimes in a COM
munity of orchardists all will spray
but one, and that one will permit his
orchard to be breeding place for all
kinds OF insects that ravage the
orchards. There Is nothing to be done
in such case but to apply moral
suasion. The passing of laws does no
good, for there is no general ma
chinery for enforcing laws. 1t is as
sumed that citizens will take on them
selves the enforcing OF laws, which
they will not do. The fellow that
doesn't spray should have the good
ness to look into the matter and take
effective measures to prevent his
orchard from becoming a detriment to
others.

Fertilizer for Orchards.

Quite late last season we used basic
Stag on peach orchard kept in sod.
The soil is poor, and the grass had
nearly run out. Judged from the ap-
parent results last year there was
little or no benefit, but this spring the
clover has come up all over the field,
as we never saw it before. We think
this result is due to the lime rather
than the phosphoric acid in the Stag.
II is evident that where this fertilizer
is used on sod 1t should be applied
early.

SAVING THE GRAPE CROP.
Use Of Bags viii Save Clusters from
Birds and Insects.

In growing this luscious fruit In
the north we meet with two very de-
structive pests, the rose bug and
the crop very uncertain. feel sure
that three.fourths of all the fruit that
starts upon our vines at the north is
destroyed by these pests, writes
Massachusetts correspondent of Farm

or injure the vine. When there are
but few vines, as in the home garden,
upon arbors or on buildings, the rose
bug attacks and destroys the blossoms
year after year, and we wonder why
our vines do not bear. If the bios
SONS escape this pest, then, at any
time after the fruit sets until it begins
to color, when the weather Is hot and
moist, the black rot fungus may de-
stroy It,
The rose bug is only destroyed by
hand picking. which must be kept
up every other day, just as the bios
SONS begin to open. for three or four
times il the weather is hot and the

Bagging consists in taking cheap
grocers' one-pound bags, costing from
75 cents to $l.25 per 1000. and as soon

COMBATING INSECT PESTS.
Grower Who Has Found Hot Water
to Do Good Work.

There are three kinds of caterpil-
lars which are especially injurious to
cabbages, the imported cabbage worm,
the cabbage plusia and the zebra
caterpillar. This may be taken as
their order of destructiveness, the
first easily surprising both of the
other.
The imported worm multiplies rapid
ly. There are several broods during
the season. so that 1t is present from
early till late. II the work of exter-
mination were to include the adult 1t
might often save trouble and loss. 1t
is a butterfly and easily distinguished
from others.
The front wings of the female are
white with two black spots on each
and spot on the hind wings. The
male is similar, but with one black
spot on the front wing. The insects
are easily caught in butterfly nets.
Children will gather in scores of them
some years, when there is small re-
ward offered.
The worm gets its growth in about
two weeks, when ii leaves the cabbage
plant and seeks secluded place to
pupate. In about ten days more 1t
comes forth a butterfly. The whole
cycle of life from egg to image may
thus be completed in less than four
weeks. II boards are placed near the
plants, one end slightly elevated so
that the worm can go under freely,
chrysalids may be obtained. They
will be found with the lower end at
tached to the board and held close to
1t by silken thread around the body
near the head, reminding one OF a
papoose strapped on board.
These chrysalids may be gathered,
but it is best not to crush them for
'wo reasons: First, because there are
chrysalids Of harmless butterflies
which may be mistaken for them and
which there is no need Of killing; sec
ond, because If any ichneumon flies
develop they should be allowed to
live. 1t is better to keep the pupae
in box till the butterflies are out,
then kill the right ones.
OF the many remedies for killing the
worms. l find none more serviceable
for the few cabbages in the home gar
den than hot water. II the temperature
is a few degrees less than the boiling
point it does not harm the leaves and
II it is above 130 degrees 1t is death to
the worms. BY going over the plants
occasionally they are easily kept free
from the pest. Kerosene emulsion oi
the arsenites may be used on young
plants, but do not find them neces
sary.
Occasionally we hear people say tina
the cabbage worms have eaten into the
heads. However, this is not the i'm
ported worm, but the plusia, which 1!

THE HAT PHARMACY
By LYDIA FELICIA PERKINS
Copyright. by shOrtstory Pub. Co,

When II became regular occur
renee for Murray to stroll on the lawn
with Phyllis. and when Bond always
found him ahead OF him. he quarreed
with Phyllis. She proved obdurate
and he threatened to knock off the fel.
lows hat This. however, was mere
ly breath.
The surveyors went back to Metrop-
oils and reported Democrat thriving
and satisfactory town, with iron ore
in the immediate vicinity. SO the
railroad came.
On the evening that its arrival was
celebrated in Democrat, after n jollifi-
cation at the drug store, Bond and
Murray both asked Phyllis at the same
time to walk home with her. She
shyly turned to Murray.
For she had learned to love the soft
gray hat because Il shadowed the most
disquieting and fascinating eyes she
had ever met. She was magnetized by
the eyes beneath the hat, but still
more curious about the hat above the
eyes, and as It is well-known fact
that n womans curiosity is only
equaled by her goodness, the hat pre-
vailed
The first question she put after say
ing Yes" to Murray was not, Where
did you get that hat?" but:
Julius, why do you wear that hat?"
He looked long and peculiarly into
her eyes.
Guess" he answered.
Because you are-bald?"
"No."

right when they say 1t is disguised"
DO you believe them, Phyllis?"

MEND TORN HOSE ON MACHINE
Easy to Do If These Directions Are
Properly Followed.

Turn stocking wrong side out. Put
the inner hoop of a small sized en-
broidery frame within the stocking
and draw stocking eighty with cole
as near the center as possible, and
hold in place with the outer hoop of
the frame. Then place hand into
stocking and roll backward to the
hoop. Put under needle of sewing
machine, after pressure foot has been
removed and upper tension Of ma
chine considerably frightened. Use or
dinary thread as for sewing. Hold
rolled up part of stocking away from
center of frame to avoid getting this
under the needle. Begin at one side
of the hole and sew to other side
along the edge. Then, still holding
stocking in same position, proceed TO
sew backwards. Thus sew one row
side of the preceding one until other
side is reached. Now turn the frame
and sew across the first rows in a
similar manner. This is quick way
of mending stockings. and with lit
tie practice can be done neatly. 1t
looks better than the ordinary mend
ing done by hand, wears fully as well
and is less liable to hurt the feet, es
pecially where stocking is mended
considerably.
This is also a nice and easy way
to mend lace curtains, as the weaving
can be made as heavy or as lacy as
one likes.

According TO the Philadelphia Ledg-

son should become a minister, and for
this laudable end he sent him to col
lege for four years, but to his great
disappointment the youth baked al
the ministry and set himself up az
horse trader. The old farmer told
his grief to nelghbor who, however
took more optimistic view of the
matter.

that" he said. "As u boss trader Bill

FOR PAINTED TABLE SPREAD
Pretty Scarf That May, If Liked, Be
Made So as to Wash.

Get one yard square white felt or
other material of something the same
nature. Trim the corners, beginning
the trimming about four inches back
from the point of the corner. With a
soft lead pencil draw a faint line as
guide one.half inch from the mar
gin all around the square. Paint this
half inch space any bright color. Four
inches from the margin draw another
faint tracing line entirely around the
square and one-half inch inside of
this make the second tracing line.
Paint the half inch space between
these two last named tracing lines a
burnt sienna. In the four inch space
between the two half inch painted
strips paint round spots about one
half inch in diameter, and make them
quite close together, using several diff
ferent bright colored paints. After
the paint is dry cut this four inch
border up to the inner half inch strip
painted with the burnt sienna, from
the margin of the cloth directly to the
center, in strips not to exceed one
eighth of an inch in width, thus form
ing a string border. On the interior
space inside the border paint autumn
leaves, variously arranged, not too
many, shading them well so as to
make them stand out from the sur.
face. This makes one of the prettiest
scarfs for a table or stand we have
seen and is easily made. If desired
wash paints may be used, which will
enable one to wash the drape when 1t
becomes soiled.
