cork Tree.

The cork tree Is species Of oak
In Spain the outer bark Is harvested
from the same tree once every nine
or ten years. The best cork comes
from trees that are so to 100 years old
Instead of inJuring the tree, stripping
the bark seems to add impetus to the
growth Of a new coat. The yield Of a
tree varies from so pounds to 500
What is known as the cork bark elm"
in your section is also called the
witch elm" in some parts of Canada,
from the weird CHASTITY appearance Of
its boughs and trunk. Although some
what similar in appearance to the cork
oak, it has not the slightest value for
its bark. The Spanish tree would al
most certainly not thrive in these lati-
tudes.

Turn the Hogs In the Orchard.

One of the best ways of fighting
worms and other insect pests of the
orchard. aside from spraying, is to
keep the infested fruit that has fallen
under the trees cleaned up. 1t will
pay to gather these rots and windfalls
by hand or hogs or other stock may
be turned into eat them. A great va
riety of insects will be destroyed in
this way and that will mean fewer
numbers to fight next year No other
method comes as near to controlling
the apple maggot as this, as spraying
will not reach 1t because the eggs
are laid under the skin by the parent
fly. The young maggot on hatching
bores along under the skin and after
the apple has fallen and is rotting it
energies and goes into the ground to
transform into fly the next spring.
This pest works almost entirely on
the sweet and early varieties of APP
ules.

the votes, Judge Hogue declared the
election had carried in favor Of the
bonds by majority of 274 votes.
Some of the votes cast in this elec-
