Successive Stages of Black Rot LesIOns.

Extensive experiments give conclu-
sive evidence that the black rot Of
the grape can be controlled CONNER
cially by thorough spraying with mix
lures properly made and applied.
1t has not been demonstrated that
spraying will control the rot in ex-
ceptionally wet seasons, but it will
practically eliminate the rot in an
average year. Consequently, it Is
strongly recommended that the grow
er make a special effort to eliminate
the disease every season. There will
probably never come a time when
spraying will not be necessary, but
by this eliminating method the grower
may be able materially to reduce the
number of applications.
The following suggestions are re-
commended by the New York expert

Cleaning of Rugs.

One of the greatest mistakes that
many women make in cleaning rugs
Is to hang them on a line. II the rug
is heavy it is sure to pull apart, leav-
ing a ridge that can never be quite
smooth again.
Another mistake is the beating on
the wrong side of rugs that are made
with the threads exposed on the under
side. This beating breaks the threads
and then we wonder why our rugs
wear out so soon. A good oriental rug
should last lifetime If 1t is properly
cared for. Lay the rug fiat on the
grass, beat and sweep it with the
pile; sweeping against the pile roughs
1t and ruins the rug. Shaking a rug
with fringe snaps off the fringe in a
very short time.
Carpets and rugs may be worn out
in short time simply by the sweep
ing. 1t is not necessary to sweep with
all ones might, light strokes remove
the dust with much less wear on floor
coverings, to say nothing of muscular
tissue.
Carpets and rugs may be frightened
by wiping with cloth wrung out of

Trade reports from the west note

D.
AS the ideal home of the mythical
ast was an Eden where flowers grew
md bloomed in great profusion, and
the trees were planted in great abun-
dance, it suggests how the grounds
about our homes should be adorned.
The lawn should be large and spa
cious and so arranged that a good view
from the house can be had at all
angles. The house should be located
as far back in the lawn from the road
as possible.
Evergreens can be employed to
great advantage in making the back
ground, and where room will permit,
they should be planted with the large
growing varieties like pine and spruce
IN the rear and then with others like
hemlock, arbor vitae, ETC., in proper
graduation. Plant nothing directly in
'front.' of the house, but on the margins
of the lawn. Arrange the trees by
grouping the different varieties and
sizes of trees and shrubs together

One of the principal objections to
the trap nest generally employed
where individual records of hens are
desired is that too much time is re.
quired to take the hens out of the
nests and record their achievements,
says Orange Judd Farmer. Many
farmers and poultrymen who would
like to know which hens are profitable
and which not in their f1ocks will there
fore welcome such a nest as pictured
herewith.
AS will be seer the nest is in an
ordinary box The front is provided
with a very light door made Of a
shingle or other light wood, and
swung on a pivot from tie top. Near
the middle on the right-hand side is
shown a little bar, also pivoted where
It touches the door. Toward the
lower end of this little bar is a notch,
which as the door is lifted engages
on the latch on the side below.
When the hen enters to lay she
lifts the door and disengages the
latch. AS she passes through, the
door drops again and closes the en-
trance. When she has laid she no
tees the opening at the back of the
nest and passes out into different
pen or alleyway. AS she does so she
raises this back door, which is hung
from the top on hinges. and string
which passes over two spools lifts the
front door and resets the latch, so
that another hen may then enter the
nest.
The only objection to this method
of trap nesting hens is that 1t is not
possible to know which egg is laid

Cement Protects the sprinq.

and keeps the water free from surface
impurities.
A young farmer recently invented
an ingenious device for making con.
crete water barrels. He took two
wooden barrels of different sizes,
knocked the heads out of both, put
the smaller inside the larger, and
filled the space between them with
concrete, and a concrete barrel was
the result.
