Scale on Trees.

In order to do the best work the
trees should be pruned, removing all
dead branches and cutting back others
that have been seriously injured, or
that are very high, says the Agricul-
turist. All surplus shoots and branches
that can be spared from the trees
should be cut away, thus both reduc'
ing the surface to be sprayed and max
ing it possible to do better job when
spraying for the scale
The best results are secured when
the spraying is done during the latter
part of March, or before growth has
started, although IL the trees are badly
infested they should be sprayed in
the fall and again in the spring The
most effectual remedy is lime-sulpnur
solution, using the commercial mix
lures at the rate of one part tc ten
parts water, or, one to eight if the
trees are badly incrusted. Be sure
to spray the trees from all sides and
corer every portion from the ground
to the ends of the branches

TO SET YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Just as Well to Dig New Holes In
Space Between Old Ones After
Latter Have Been Cut.

1t would do no harm to set young
fruit trees in the holes where the old
ones are taken out, but, other things
being equal, 1t would be just as well
to dig new holes in the spaces be-
tween the old trees after they have
been cut down or pulled up. Answer
ing a question along this line. the
Rural New Yorker advises digging a
wide hole two feet or more diameter
and eight to twelve inches deep, as
may be needed, placing the rich or
top soil in one pile and the subsoil
in another.
Cut out all broken or injured roots
from the trees to be set, and freshen
the ends of the sound roots with a
slanting cut from below upward, SO
that the fresh surface will rest on the
soil. When the roots are in their
natural position. set the trees in the
center of the hole and carefully fill
in around the roots with the best of
the top soil taken out, sitting it from
the edge of the shovel and working IT
between the rows with the fingers,
shaking the tree meanwhile to get the
earth In every crevice between the
roots

peratures and frequent rains during
the early half of that month we may
safely predict an outbreak of leaf
curl. During such weather the fungus
develops rapidly and the new leaves
are effected as they are protruded
from the bud. In a modified sense
The same takes place during May and
IN a still more limited sense during
June. Successful prevention of leaf
curl is secured by thorough early treat
ment with bordeaux mixture. Indeed,
1t appears that a spraying at any time
shortly before the blossoms open is
several times more effective than any
application afterward. 1t appears
that more effective results are secured
by spraying two weeks before bios
soming than Immediately before the
blossoms open. In any event an ap-
plication made Just before the bios
SONS open is more effective than at
any later date. Lime sulphur appli-
cations for scale insects are effective
to prevent leaf-curl.

BUNYIP MERELY LARGE SEAL
Scientist Sheds Light on Mysterious
Animal That Terrified Aus
trallan Aborioines.

Early settlers in Australia learned
from the blacks the legend of the
''bunyip." a fearsome creature sup
posed to dwell in the swamps and to
terrify beholders from time to time.
Many appearances of this mysterious
animal have been reported. but in no
case was the evidence satisfactory or
conclusive. The latest story of the
'bunyip" comes from the Black
swamp near Stawell, 20 miles from
Melbourne. The director of the Mel
bourne zoo went up anu succeeded in
viewing the animal through a power
IN field glass. He pronounced it To
be an unusually large seal. The zoo
authorities have offered a reward OF
$40 for its capture.
