INJURIOUS ELM-LEAF BEETLE
Prompt Action Necessary if This Pest
Is Eradicated Before Trees Are
Damaged.

No one who has elm trees infested
with beetles should trust to natural
checks to eliminate them. The trees
should be thoroughly sprayed as soon
in the season as the first sign of
beetle feeding is seen of the leaves,
and arsenate of lead at the rate of
pounds in 100 gallons Of water should
be applied.
1t is important that this spraying
should be prompt and very thorough,
the object being to kill off the beetles
before they lay their eggs. For this
reason the strong mixture is advised,
that it's action may be prompt and the
injury to the leaves minimized.
All beetles must feed before they
lay eggs, and there is usually a period
of about two weeks between the time
when the first beetles are seen on
the leaves and the time when the first
egg mass is noticed. Earlier spraying
is not advised because the foliage in
creases in size so rapidly at this Pc
Rod that leaves sprayed when half
grown may be very imperfectly COW

GROWING THE CATALPA TREE
VIII Be Big Enough for Telephone
Poles or Fence Posts In About
Fifteen Years.

Going in for catalpa grove next
spring? These trees will grow into
telephone poles and fence posts in
about fifteen years. An acre Of ground
will produce from 5000 to 1000 fence
posts and such posts are now worth
about IS cents each. In fifteen years
they will probably bring twice as
much, as timber is becoming more
scarce every year. One year old trees
are the best to plant. Be sure they
are all healthy and come not too far
from home. Buy none but the va
riety known as "Speciosa." You will
have to pay about $40 per 1000 for
good trees.
The ground should be plowed and
put in as good condition as for corn
The rows ought to be about eight feet
apart and perfectly straight. Use a
corn marker to set them just right.
After they get a good start cut them
back nearly to the ground. Don't be
afraid to cut, as they will be all the
stronger for the pruning. On good
soil where trees are not too much
crowded they will grow from five to
seven feet the first year. Some Of the
railroads are going into catalpa grow
ing to get a supply Of good trees, but
there is not much danger Of overdo-
ing the business.

WHEN TO PLANT EVERGREENS
Best Time to Put Them In Ground Is
Early In Spring Just When
Seasons Start.

A New Jersey farmer writes to know
whether 1t will be safe to plant ever
green's in August.
The best time to plant evergreens
is early in the spring just when the
new seasons growth is starting. 1t
is mistake to plant too early and if
the planting is delayed until June the
trees are not apt to do we'll unless
frequently watered and mulched dur
Ing the summer months.
Some planting is done in August,
but we do not believe the inexperi-
enced can make their trees grow when
planted so late.
Nurseries frequently put out their
evergreens in July and August but
more from necessity than choice be-
cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do the work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered
and dust mulch maintained around
the roots until winter sets in.
1t is difficult to tell by the looks OF
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead.
In the spring trees that die turn
brown within two or three weeks.
The time to plant evergreens, is, In
our opinion, in the spring and we
see not reason why fall planting
should be resorted to unless through
necessity.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong 1t is generally
with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona
man says:
For years l could not safely eat any
breakfast. l tried various kinds of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
,tressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for 1 found the toast
very constipating.
"a friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead I Shall never regret taking
his advice. I began using them three
months ago.
THE change they have worked in
me is wonderful. / now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and never have
headaches. I have gained IL pounds
in weight and feel better in every way.
"Grape-Nuts make a delicious as
well as nutritious dish, and find
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symptoms"

Prevention Better Than Cure.

Preventive measures are always
more practical than remedies, whether
it be in fighting crop and fruit pests
or diseases which assault the herds
and f1ocks. In fighting fruit pests it
will be a great deal more effective to
remove and destroy the infested fruit
this year than to try to overcome the
pest next year by spraying. This Is
especially true Of the codling moth.
Remove and destroy the worm-eaten
apples as soon as they fall to the
ground, and there will be a great deal
less trouble next year.

the Cuticura Remedies a great many

to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets Of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the

cred a week later when the beetles
feed, and the application will not be
as effective.
Spraying against the adult beetle
rather than its larva is further urged
because the beetle eats the entire leaf
tissue and therefore gets the poison
whether it is on the upper or under
surface. The larva eats only the cells
Of the under side and scrapes to the
middle only. In consequence any leaf
not covered on the under side may
mature a dozen larvae unframed,
even though the upper surface may be
uniformly and effectively coated.
When we have large trees to deal with
the problem of hitting the underside
of every leaf becomes an almost i'm

covering every leaf on one side or the
