WARNING TO FRUIT GROWERS
Crown Gall Is Warty Outgrowth or
Excrescence Upon the Apple,
Peach, Pear and other Trees.

Crown gall is term applied to GER
tain warty outgrowths or excrescences
upon the apple, pear, peach, rasp-
berry, etc., forming chiefly on the
parts below ground. On the apple
these growths are more apt to occur
on grated trees at the union of the
root and the cion, but they may form
at any place where the roots have
been injured in transplanting, etc.
Experiments by the department of
agriculture show that crown gall is
caused by specific parasite. Every
orchardist should carefully inspect all
stock which he purchases for setting.
All trees showing evidence of crown
call should be either returned to the
shipper or burned, and future orders
placed with nurserymen who can and
will furnish trees free from disease.
Under no condition should trees be
planted which show growths of this
kind upon the roots, for not only will
if result in an unthrifty and unprofit-
able tree, but it will also endanger
other plants.

PRUNE AND TRAIN GRAPE VINE
To Grow the Best Fruit the Vines
Should Be Frequently Cut
Back and Renewed.

The grape vine should be planted
slightly deeper than it was in the
nursery and cut back to a strong bud.
Only one shoot should be allowed to
grow.
The next spring it should be again
cut back to a strong bud, the length
of the cane varying with it's size, says
the Prairie Farmer. The terminal
bud only should be allowed to develop
and the cane should be tied to stout
stake as it grows.
The next spring it should be cut
back at the height of four or five feet,
according to the kind of trellis to be
used, and three buds at the top should
be allowed to develop into shoots.
The following spring the vines will
be ready for a trellis. The favorite
forms are known as vertical and hori-
zontal. The vertical trellis consists Of

USING a Small Needle.

One common fault among needle
workers is the Indifference with which
they select needles for their work.
For ordinary sewing they dip into
their work basket and draw out any
thing that comes to hand, short of a
darning needle. Sometimes the needle
used is too small, but usually, posi-
bly, because the smaller needles are
harder to thread, it is too large. Per-
sons who are successful with their
embroidery say that this is usually the
reason fancy work turns out SO unsat-
isfactorily. For fine work a number
10 or II needle should be used. Other
wise the stitches cannot be placed
sufficiently close together to give the
smooth finish desired. When basting
down plaits on wash material, as is
often done before laundering, use fine
thread and fine needle. If this is not
done, the holes will show when the
thread is ripped out.

NOT HARD TO COVER BUTTONS
Method Explained by Practical Dress.
rnaker-WiII Add Much to
Appearance of Frock.

In these days, when so many frocks
are button trimmed and with buttons
matching the material, and when one
has not facilities for getting them
made-and, truth to tell, the made-tO-
order buttons do not give much wear
"a good way to cover large molds is
given by a practical dressmaker.
Take strip of material & half inch
wider than the molds to be covered.
and with thread matching the mate
rial stitch with the machine a circle
an eighth of an inch larger from the
edge to be cut. Then cut out the
circle and buttonhole the edges over
the line of stitching, using heavy
twist and making the stitches an
eighth of an inch apart Then with a
coarse needle and twist run through
these loops and draw over the mold,
sewing firmly, and making a tiny but
strong loop or a French knot by which
to sew the mold to the gown.
These molds after being finished
may be embroidered in contrasting
colors with long and short stitches
of silk twist.
A simple and otherwise perfectly
plain frock may be given a really chic
and individual touch by embroidering
the plain buttons in spider web or
other designs in a contrasting hue.
They are handmade and therefore not
to be found in the shops.

The Best WAY to Store Furs.

When storing furs do not use pre-
servatives that make the garment an
odorous nuisance for many days after
it has been brought forth from its
summer hiding place. Neither hang
it out in the sunshine for some stray
moths to fiutter over. Cleanse them
well by shaking and gently beating in
the house. Then lay neatly in a box
(the one made for the garment if pos
sible), fit on the lid closely, and place
over the joining of the lid and box a
fOur-inch strip of newspaper When
sateen or unbleached muslin, stitching
up the end on the sewing machine.
The fur may be taken out in the fall
as good as new.-Housekeepe

Insneotion of Nursery Stock.

Representative Scott of Kansas is
the author of a bill which provides
for government inspection of nursery
stock at point OF entry to be desig-
mated by the secretary of agriculture.
An appropriation of 100000 is car
ried by the bill, which also authorizes
the secretary to establish a quaran-
tine against the importation or trans
portation in interstate commerce Of
diseased or infected nursery stock.
The bill has been favorably acted upon
by the house committee.

Child's Dance Gown.

A bewitchingly girlish little dancing
frOck for summer evening was OF
airy white lingerie, with butterfly lace
motifs set in panels down the front
and back Of the gown and into the
corsage.
A 12-inch rufle, lace-edged and in
serted, gave delightful frou-frou
about the feet, which were clad in lit
tie white slippers, with a demure pink
rosebud perched atop.
The lacy sleeves, elbow length, were
cut up the outside and laced with a
pink satin ribbon. A snood and sash
of pink satin ribbon completed the
dainty costume.

efght-foot posts set two and one-half
feet in the ground at intervals Of
twenty to thirty feet. These generally
carry two lines of No. 10 galvanized
wire, respectively four and five and
one-half feet from the ground. The
end posts should be strong and well
braced, and the wire should be so ar
ranged that the slack can be taken up
when necessary. The other posts need
not be very large if twenty feet apart,
but for thirty feet good-sized posts are
desirable.
The horizontal trellis differs in hav-
ing a 2X6-inch strip placed on edge
horizontally at the top of the post, so
as to form an arm two feet long, upon
which three wires are carried.
The previous years three shoots
were grown on each vine. For the
two-wire (verticaD trellis two of them
should be placed on the lower wire
and cut back to ten buds each. The
other shoot should be cut off at the
height of the upper wire, and a shoot
from it should be trained in each di-
rection. For the three-wire (horizon-
taD trellis, a shoot should be trained
upon each of the wires, two in one
direction and one in the other, and all
should be cut back to eight buds.
The simplest and most satisfactory
method of training the grape is by the
Knifnn system. The fruiting arms are
tied to the wires in the spring and the
new shoots as they come out are al
lowed to hang down.
To grow the best fruit, whatever
system is used, the vines should be
frequently cut back and renewed.
Some prefer to renew all the canes
each year, starting all of them from
the main trunk of the vine, while
others renew but once in two years.
Whatever the method of pruning or
training, one should endeavor to leave
about 40 buds upon each vine, and
these could be as near the main trunk
as possible.

Over and Over.

Over and Over.
The ten thousand poets,
The writer's Of prose,
OF essays and dramas,
What not goodness knows,
Pray where are their subjects
For stories and rhymes
That haven't been handled
Some thousands of times?
A million have warbled
With spring for the theme,
Ten thousand on sunsets
That told of a dream:
On waiting and longing
And falling in love
Have fully as many

The plot for the story,
The drama or play
Have all been exhausted
This many a day,
And even the essay
On tariff or cash,
On war or religion
Are all a rehash.
