KILLING INSECTS
DURING WINTER
Nothing Is Quite So Effective aa
Digging Out Heart of Ant
Mound and Flooding
With Water.
CIV G. Fl. GLITzKE.,


The common red ants do great bit
of damage to the alfalfa fields in seme
sections Of the country. The spots
where they kill the alfalfa are usually
only about a square yard or two
where they build their mounds, but a
great many of these in the field count
for quite large patch where no al
falfa grows.
Some people try to destroy them by
sinking bottles into their mounds SO
that the ants fall into them.
This system is not always effective
as it is hard to trap them All anc as
long as few remain the trouble will
continue.
There is nothing quite as effective
as the winter killing which consists
in digging out the heart OF the
mounds in the winter and then pour
ing water into tho excavation thus
made so it soaks into the ground and
freezes those that may still be living.
This method usually proves very
satisfactory. Out of a large field
where they were killed in this way
during the last winter only a very few
OF the many ant hills had any ants
remaining in them by spring and it is
quite evident that il the work had
been done more carefully every one
of them would have been killed.
The work should be done very
thoroughly. 1t does not take mach
digging at each mound but it should
be done in the winter time SO there Is
no chance for them to rebudia and
the weather is so cold that they mnst
freeze.
Where other methods have failed
this has done the work

Protesting Roses in Winter

After a mild summer and fsll, a
severe winter is very hard on both
utility and ornamental vegetation, as
the growth is very green and unripe.
Amongst the first to suffer would be
varieties of roses. and their protec-
ton should be attended to before
the slightest frost occurs.
Take wood hammer and ram the
soil as hard as road all around each
plant; then place forkful or two OF
stable or COW manure round the stem.
Let this come up little way under
the branches, but not far, as it is the
neck or collar that wants wrapping,
and if this is protected. there is little
danger of the plants being injured.
