black-hOrned tree cricket, Oecanthus
nigrioornis, while Mr.. Jensen at Ithaca
found the four-spotted tree cricket,
Oecanthus quadripunctatus, depositing
eggs in q similar manner. These egg
p~unCtures are in regular series, some
two or three inches long, and when
abundant are very likely to be fol
lowed by the canes splitting or even
breaking during the winter. In some
instances three-fOurths of the canes
in a berry patch have been seriously
injured in this manner
The life history of these various
tree Crickets, so far as known, is very
similar. The eggs are deposited in
the fall in ~herbaceous or woody
stems, the young tree crickets hatch
ing in the spring and feeding on small
insects such as plant.lice. Maturity is
attained by midsummer or early fall,
and is followed by the deposition of
eggs as described above. The tree
crickets. aside from mechanical in
juries inflicted. must be regarded as
beneficial, since they subsist on other
insects, though unfortunately the in.
juries resulting from oviposition are
frequently extensive, and the presence
of the tree crickets is, therefore, not
an unmitigated blessing. These in
sectS are most abundant among coarse
weeds and shrubby growths. Conse-
quently the adoption of clean cultural
methods. so far as possible, will be
of considerable service in reducing
their numbers and preventing possible
injury.

trolled without some trouble and out,

The setting of scions is only the

Cyclamen plants should be rested

sparingly and kept as dormant as pos,
sible.
Keep the chrysanthemums in a
shady place during the summer, water
regularly, pinch into shape, prune and
train. Keep the plant free from in,

In planning for the planting of the
trees, the aim should be to so plant
that when they grow annoying winds

possible extent.
To root an ivy geranium make a
hole under the leaves of the large

HOW TO REMOVE LARGE LIMB

I recently had occasion to remove
One of the main branches of a large
elm tree, writes c. O.. Ormsbee of
Washington county. Vermont, in Farm
and Home. The branch in question
was u inches in diameter, 35 feet long
and attached to the tree at a height OF
20 feet. 1t hung over a slate-roofed
barn, which made it necessary to keep
it off the roof and it was not prac-
tiCable to remove it in sections. The
illustration shows the plan hat vas
adopted.
First, a ladder was placed against
the tree, then a pair of self-locking
pulleys. a, were suspended from the
limb, b, and attached to the branch
about four feet from the tree Next, a
rope, b c, was attached to n of the
larger limbs of the main branch. and
another rope, b d, attached to another
limb. The object of these ropes was
to prevent the end Of the branch from
falling upon the roof, and it was nee
essary to use two ropes to prevent it
from tipping and turning sidewise.
One end of the rope, b g, was
thrown over the limb at b and down
to the ground, where it was snubbed

attached to the limb at d and extended
to the ground. Then the limb was
sawed off at f. when it hung in the
ropes as in a sling. BY pulling on the

Newfoundland Bad Record.

The Newfoundland Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis is carrying
on a vigorous and necessary campaign
this year in the island. The death
rate from the disease in Newfoundland
is very large. About one in every
five of the total population dies of it,
and. what is worse, in the last six
years the death rate, which is sta
tionary or decreasing elsewhere, has
increased about so per cent. This is
due largely to the native horror or
