A Home in the Country.

II you are living in the country money
is not the only object to strive for
While of course living must be pro
vided yet that living calls for home
While there is no limit to the amount o.
money that may be laid out on home
great wealth is not necessary to an at
tractive home. Elaborate and costl,
buildings do not alone make an attrac
tive and homelke home.
Nature can do more than art in max
ing an attractive and inviting home in
the country. Indeed without the adorn
men,s which Nature alone can give th'
most elaborate buildings are cold, unin
viting and unhOmelike. We were onc'
riding through an unfamiliar, rough ano
unat,ractive country, when suddenly
and without suggestion of relief from
the surrounding wildness an unlocked
for country home broke upon our view
1t was hemmed in by the rough setting
of surrounding hills with but limitet
clearing of green fields opening out te
the sunshine. A well-kept lawn spread
out in front of the buildings, set herr
and there with ornamental shrubbery
while across its front was an elegant
flower border in gorgeous bloom. Th
effect as it SO unexpectedly burst upoI
US was enc ha nting. Here in the mids
of such rugged surroundings was {
country home where cultured taste-no
wealth-at work with Nature had rem
dered it charming.
Again, we were riding on the trail
through the before unbroken forests o.
Northern Maine, with only an occasiona
opening in the continuous forest of tim
Der where the pioneer sawmill had clear
ed the way for few log cabins. Across
the way on a slight eminence, not {
stones throw from the car, amid th'
stumps and the smut, was log hous'
with every window filled with f1oweriuI
plants. While everything else was crud
and rough and wild here were the begin
nings of a happy home.
Thus 1t is not money that makes
delightful home. Any one can plant
shrub, set tree and arrange f1owe
border, and Nature will dc the rest

The acreage in Brunswick and Tops

The acreage in Brunswick and Tops
ham to be planted to potatoes this sea-
son will exceed any previous year. A
careful and conservative estimate de-
rived from several sources indicate that
the two towns will have more than 450
acres planted to potatoes, possibly 500
acres. That represents about 1000
spent for fertilizers. If the crop should
prove successful and produce an aver
age of 200 bushels to the acre that
would mean total yield of from 9O,OOO
to 100, 600 bushels in the two towns.

Our correspondent has doubtless
found that the trees in which borers are
working can generally be known by the
sawdust at the base of the trunk, or be-
ing pushed through the bark. Our or
chardists who have had most experience
with borers generally agree that there is
no way so satisfactory for disposing of
the borers as by digging them out with
sharp knife, aud flexible wire to
punch in the holes when open. Some
times carbon bi-sulphate can be injected
into the burrowes from an oil can, and
the opening stopped with clay or soap
and the fumes from this will kill the
grub, but where the holes are numerous
some of the borers will generally escape.
1t is not very long or difficult matter
to locate the borers in small orchard,
by means of garden trowel the dirt can
soon be scraped from the base of the
tree and where borers are working, even
if the holes can not be seen there will be
noticed an unhealthy look on the surface
of the bark or discoloration, and if a
knife is inserted and the wire used, the
trick is soon done.
Some of our largest orchard owners in
the state have informed the writer that a
day or less is spent for each acre of or
chard each spring examining their trees
for borers and where this is followed
each year the pests can be held in check
where otherwise the younger trees
would soon become girdled and ruined.
The beetle that lays the eggs from
which the borers hatch is usually active
the last of June till August, and some
times the base of the tree is painted
with arsenate of lead which will serve to
discourage the beetle to some extent,
but as a rule it will be found that dig
ging out is the practicable means of con-
trolling these pests.
At the summer field meeting of the
Maine Pathological Society held last
August at the farm of G. +. Terry, Wa
terville, a good sized orchard of apple
trees, varying in age from six to eight
years, were found on examination to be
well-nigh ruined by borers. So badly
were some of the trees girdled and eaten
under the bark as to break off easily at
the base of the trunk, when pressure
was used. When thus broken off the
wood of the trunk for several inches
above the ground would be found literal
ly honey -combed with holes and bur
rows made by the borers, which live in
the tree in the larval form for from two
to three years.-Maine Farmer.
