utterly useless. The most efficient
means Of preventing damage from
these pests is by annual inspection of
the trees and removal Of the grubs
with a sharp pointed knife. Various
protective measures are also used
One Of the most effective Is to paint
the lower part Of the stem in late win
ter or early spring with a fairly thick
paint made from pure ready mixed
paints for this purpose, since others
may contain injurious substances
Wood veneer strips and wire gauze
are sometimes used to prevent the
eggs from being laid on the trunks of
the trees, but white lead paint Is SIM
pier and cheaper.
Black rot is fungous disease which
attacks the fruit, foliage, old bark and
branches of apple and pear trees. The
leaf spot form probably causes more
damage than the other forms Some
times black rot cankers on the trunk,
and the limbs develop so rapidly as to
endanger the life of the trees, but this
Is seldom the case except where spray
ing is wholly neglected. The fruit Is
rarely seriously injured, though out
breaks in this form may sometimes
be quite severe.

House Plant Culture

One Of the very first essentials in
house plant culture is correct pottfng
of the plants. Just as preparation
and fertilization of the garden soil are
Of prime Importance TO a successful
garden, SO is pottfng to the success of
indoor plants.
The soil for potted plants must be
the very best and richest, for the roots
Of the ported plant must draw its food
from a very limited quantity The
soil must not only be fertile, but It
must be of good physical nature, rela-
lively light in most cases, friable and
rstentive to hold moisture It must
not only be able to hold moisture, but
1t must be capable of parting with it
readily, 50 that the necessary air may
enter for feeding the roots For the
same reason the drainage must be
ample, and to this end gravel or brok-
en- crockery are placed in the bottom
Of the pot and some coarse sand ts
mixed with the soil.

MOVE BIG TREES IN WINTER
They May Be Transplanted When the
Ground Is Not Too Much
Frozen-Good Method.

Large trees and shrubs may be
moved from one part of the place to
another when the ground is not too
much frozen. The trees to be moved
should have a trench dug about three
feet out from the trunk all around,
cutting the roots at the sides and also
underneath the ball of earth II soil
is dry, pour on enough water to make
earth stick to the roots.
Have holes dug, and as soon as the
ground around the roots is frozen, pull
the tree over with pair of horses.
slide the dray under the ball of earth
tie the tree to the dray; then haul to
place. Puddle the earth In bottom of
hole, set the tree in; see that it Is
the right depth and top plumb; press
the fine black earth round the sides,
ramming it in hard; tie the tree to
stout stakes, spread six or eight large
forkuls of coarse manure around the
tree; then put on top of manure and
close up to the trunk several large
stones. The manure will keep the
soil cool and moist, and the stones
VIII prevent the roots from being sha-
ken loose by severe winds
Evergreens Is to 20 feet in height
may be moved by this method, and If
well done not one tree need be lost.
Deciduous trees, owing to their
roots spreading out so far and going
so deep, are much more difficult to
move. Trees 6 to feet in height may
be moved, but large trees can seldom
be moved with success.
Towering shrubs and large rose
bushes may be moved In the same
way. Always plant in good earth and
upon well-drained land. If soil is san
dy or rocky, make large holes; fill In
with good earth before planting.
The owner should attend to the
transplanting. as the work cannot be
left to hired help.
