Kidding Trees Of Scale.
rrof. Harlan of California has dis
covered that the ordinary black ant
will remove the scale from fruit trees
without injuring the trees or leaves
In the least. He says their work IL
more complete than that accomplished
by spraying or by any of the imported
insects.
The ants are captured by placing
plate of sugar near an ant hill. and
when covered with ants the plate Is
put in the forks of the infected tree.
Tho ants leave the sugar and go to
work on the scale. AS soon as they all
leave the sugar the plate is placed at
the foot of the tree and as the ants
come down after having cleaned the
tree they again assemble on the su-
gar and are thus easily removed to
another tree.
Several ranchers near Ukiah have
tried the scheme and estimate that It
will be worth millions to fruit grow.

value of wood A.he..


The question often arises as to the
value Of ashes for fertilizer. Profess
sor Ten Eyck, of the Kansas experI-
ment station, says that an average
sample of unleached wood ashes con-
tains about per cent of potash and 2
per cent Of phosphorlc acid, which at
current prices OF these plant foods
would make the ashes worth about 80
a ton. Besides the actual fertilizing
value, by reason OF the potash and
phosphoric acid contained. there Is
some value to ashes simply by the
power which the potash has to mako
the nitrogen Of the soil available for
plant use by Its chemical action upon
the organic matter and humus OF the
soil. The potash In ashes exists In
readily soluble form and Is thus Inn.
mediately available for plant food.
The grower can well afford to pay 50
to $40 a ton for good wood ashes Coal
ashes are Of little value as far as plant
food is concerned. but they can be
used with good effect upon some soils
in loosening them up.
I Ashes can be used for any crops.
that need potash and they may b.
applied at the rate OF twenty-five to
nifty bushels an acre. For cultivated
crops they should be applied broad
cast after the land has been narrowed
and then cultivated In by light har-
rowing. They can be used also a.

Potato Cultivation.

Of times. says the Weekly Inter Ocean
and Farmer. It must bs remembered
that the potato crop suffers readily
from drouth. and that frequent Guilt
walton is practically the only means
by which moisture can be conserved.
Frequent cultivation also sets free
much plant food that would otherwise
remain locked up In the soil. \ Pota-
toes should be cultivated once week
from the time the rows can be fol-
lowed until the cultivator wheels In
jure the plants. An ordinary SIX
shovel cultivator Is probably the most
practicable. More and smaller shovels
would be better in clean. mellow
soil. The wheels must be set closer
together than for corn. 30 that they
will not run on the rows until the
plants become quite large. Level Gull
ture should be the general aim. or
only slight ridging for Its aid in con-
trolling the weeds In the rows. The
hrst cultivation may be deep and fair.
" close II there is plenty Of moisture
in the soil. It cuts of some of the
roots. but at this stage does more good
than harm by loosening the soil up
deeply, and thus leaving 1t In better
condition for the future growth of the
tubers and the roots.
After the nrst cultivation the SHOW
els should always be run shallow,
about two or three inches deep. never
deeper.
