Press. The eggs are laid on the bark
near the base Of the tree during the
summer. The larvae, which are white
with round heads and black jaws,
hatch within a short time and immedi-
ate1y they begin to bore into the in
terror of the tree. 1t takes three sea
sons for the larvae to reach maturity;
the beetles come out during the sum
mer.
The larvae may be detected first by
the discoloration of the bark and later
by the castings which have been
pushed out of the burrows. The most
effective remedy, as for the other tree
borer, Is the digging out method OF
course this means the making of addi-
tional wounds on the trees, which in
some cases may be as bad as the Dor
ers. Protecting the trunks Of the trees
to prevent the laying of the eggs by
the females is recommended.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

The best growth of roses is in rich,
moist and rather cool soil.
The best soil for roses is a rather
stiff but deep and rich clay loan.
AS a rule roses do best when set
out in the fall or very early in the
spring.
Grapes do far better when they are
cultivated until the berries are
grown.
With dormant field roses, all of the
broken and bruised roots must be cut
smoothly.
To produce finest and largest bios
SONS, roses must be carefully pruned
each year.
When planting roses, avoid ex-
posing the roots of the plants to the
sun or drying winds.
One should watch for black knot on
the cherries and plums, and for pear
blight, and at it's first appearance
get on his job
Plant cherry trees on your home
grounds and thus give your people
something to think about that is
bright and cheerful.
All of the roses should be cut back
at the time of planting, except potted,
growing plants, and perpetual bloom
ers should be cut back severely.
With the exception of the ramblers,
Rose rogosa, and a few others, roses
are not grown as decorative plants
for general effect, but for their bios
SONS only.
Profit in the orchard depends upon
the perfection of the fruits raised and
the quantity. And the trees cannot
produce their full capacity unless
they are we'll cared for.
If one is to be successful with the
orchard he must start with the right
varieties; poor kinds limit success.
Good varieties have been brought to
their perfection by attention.
1t is a notable fact that properly
sprayed orchards carry the leaves Wig
orous and green up to early autumn
and winter, while unsprayed trees
have shed their leaves too early for
the proper food supply in the trees.

FIX OLD STRAWBERRY BEDS
How They Should Be Treated and
Cleaned When Overrun and
Clicked With Weeds.
(By C. Fl. DRAKE.)

10y y. OISEAhE.)
We always have to fight the weeds
in strawberry beds. They hinder much
less in a season of abundant rainfall
than in dry one, and do special dam
age when fertility is lacking in the
soil. So, if one wishes to prolong the
usefulness of the old bed another year
it may be done, providing it is not too
old or has not become sodded thickly
over. Wire grass is the worst enemy
of the strawberry as the years adj
vance, for the roots take complete pos
session of the soil. Other weeds, like
daisies, yarrow, dandelion, etc., may
be quite easily COPIED with.
Rather than do without any of this
delicious fruit next year the old bed
had better be retained unless it is be-
yond all hope of production. If it is
not closely mown after fruiting let this
be done right away, drying, shaking
and gathering the weeds, grass, etc.

Thinning Fruit.

The question of thinning apples
peaches, pears and other fruit is be-
coming of more Importance every
year. Not only do we get larger and
finer fruit, but the curculio Is work
ing more seriously every years and in
thinning fruit where the curculio Is
present every specimen that shows a
sign of the curculio sting should be
taken away and burned.
The demands of the markets and
the conditions of the eastern and
southern fruit growers is such that
they must thin their fruit If they
are to succeed in holding their home
markets. The demand is for larger
and more snowy fruit and of better
quality, but more particularly of fruit
that has fine appearance.

Too many think that square living
must mean sour looking.
Many reformers get switched off on
to reforming one another.
Too many mistake the squabbles of
creed for the fight Of faith.
Repentance soon after green apples
is no promise of new life.
Turn your face to tie sun and you
will never fear the shadows.
People who live in a Dread and but

No prayers were ever long enough

Aseptic charity is more than keep

until he "buffed" Francis Burton Harrison, Demo

NATURE THE BARLEY
Better Profits to Ranchers in Feeding Grain than in Cutting Crop
 For Hay.

Men who have closely observed the hay markets for the past few years and the conditions prevailing in Im- perial Valley are advising that ranch CTS do not cut their barley for hay, but thresh it and hold it for feed.
 It is said that the hay market on the coast is badly demoralized, with little prospect for it's betterment for some time to come. It appears that ranchers have been piling hay into Los Angeles until No. 2 barley hay is selling at from $6 to $50 per ton, and No. 1 alfalfa hay is bringing only s9 9.5O to s1O.5O per ton.
 Valley barley hay was purchased by local dealers last year at $10 per ton, and it is said that there has never been a day since that time when they could sell the hay and get out even.
 With barley bringing SIPS per 100 pounds, and with the necessity of pay ing S350 per ton freight to Los An geles for hay and then ten per cent commission to the dealer, it appears that valley barley growers ought not to find it difficult to decide whether to turn their barley crops into hay or grain.
 As valley grown grain can be gen orally fed to stock right at home the valley ranchers find a larger profit in that use.

 At Mexicali they each invested $2 in a box of cigars, and started back to the land of the U. s. A
 They had not counted upon the customs officials at the line, however.

 That is duitable goods" declared the inspector, and, in spite of vigor- ous protests, weighed the cigars and assessed the San Diegans $3.50 each in duty
