INJURED TREES BY
BRIDGE GRATING

Orchard trees which have been xir.
died may often be saved by what n
called bridge grating. This consists
in bridging the injured parts by means
Of cions Of the last seasons growth.
thus connecting the part below the
wound with that above First trim
the bark around the injured parts.
Then sharpen the ends Of the cions
to a wedge-shape and fit tightly into
the layer Of new wood just beneath
the bark, called the cambium layer,
Cover the union at the end OF the
cions with grating wax. completely to
exclude the air. Also wrap the wound
with cloth to protect It from drying
out. likewise cover the wax with old
muslin to keep it from being melted BY
the sun. If the lower edge OF the
wound is near enough to the ground to
make it practicable to do so, it Is bet
ter to cover it three or four inches
deep with fresh earth.
Where the trees are very young ana
the girdling is severe, cutting the
trunk off below the wound is probably
the best treatment. The exposed part
Of the stub should at once be coated

In many cornflelds, especially in the
South. heavy wind late in the season
before the corn is matured, does great
damage by breaking the plants of al
the surface of the ground. thus running
them.
An examination Of these broken
stems will in most cases, show that
they have been greatly weakened by
the burrows of a caterpillar known al
"the larger corn stalk borer.
It's work is largely within the stem
Of the plant, and is 50 concealed that
In most cases, unless weather condi-
tons make 1t conspicuous, the pres
ence Of the insect passes unnoticed.
This insect seems to have been
originally an enemy Of sugar cane and
to have first transferred It's attention to
corn In the southern part Of this coun-
try, where corn and cane are grown
over the same territory. It occurs in
many countries where sugar cane is the
staple crop, and has caused great dam
age In the West Indies, British Guiana,
Australia, and Java. The bulk of the
evidence goes to show that it was first
brought into this country with the i'm
portation of sugar-cane cuttings from
the West Indies and Central and South
America, where, since early times, 1t
has interfered with the production of
this staple.

to its value as food animal, and its
flesh is now generally considered bet

Rabbits may be propagated without
costly investment in land and build

tage that they contribute another ami

short notice. AS rule, the same
treatment applies to all forms of rab-
bits, except the lop-eared variety,
which require heated quarters in win
ter.
Care in the selection Of stock is the
first important consideration upt I
entering uron the raising of rabbits
and for the rest Of the enterprise only
observation and Judgment are essen
tial. ...
While not affordinl large profits,
the raising of rabbits in small way
ray be made interesting and fairly
remunerative, as we'll as affording an
agreeable change in the family diet
where ordinary meats are high priced
or difficult to obtain.

Rotation is one of the best general
preventives of injury from insects at
fecting field crops. Experience has
shown that where corn has followed
itself upon the same field for two or
more years there has bee:. a much
greater loss from the borer than
where an annual change Of crop has
been practiced. This Is especially
noticeable where stalks or stubble

Shall We Destroy The Old
Fruit Trees

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the farmers to ostracize
the old standbys of years ago. II
seems like sacrilege to do SO.
Some travelling timber buyers went
over our country buying old apple
trees for the manufacture of tool
handles. Their story was that the
trees were worthless for fruitins and
the price they paid would replace the
old trees with young stock.
The grandfather of the writer
planted an orchard (seedlings) 80
years ago. He gave his children the
privileges of choosing tree and nam
ing it.
One of the boys called his tree
"BiLrs Apple" This tree is still living
and bearing. So is the boy who
named It,
One other Of these seedlings that
was top-grafted with tho Pound Pip
pin is still bearing. Enough wood YVES

the descendants of the old pioneer.
Last 4-ugust over 200 e these chill
dren and grandchildren met to COM
memorate the memory of the planter
of these two old trees and this gravel
was presented to the society.
Some four or five miles from where
these trees stand is a Lear orchard all

CORN CURLS WHEN THE
MOISTURE Is SCARCE

When the corn begins to curl in the
field you may be sure that the plant
Is doing its best to make the little
moisture that is in the ground go as
far as possible. On the under side OF
the leaf are the exhaling tubes Of the
plant, that Is those which breathe out
ward When there is plenty Of moist
ure in the ground these little tubes
main wids open. When the moist
ure in the ground becomes deficient
then these little pores in the leaf close
up In order to keep as much moisture
as possible In the ground and the clos
ing OF these pores draws the leaf to-
gether in a roll.
The curling of the leaves Is wise
provision Of nature, rs it preserves
the existence Of the plant until the
moisture increases.
OF course when the leaves begin to
curl the plant suffers considerably and
the yield Of the crop is likely to be
much reduced unless the moisture
comes quickly.

WHEN TO PLANT ROSES.

All dormant roses should be planted
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. and the soil can be worked.
But 1t is advisable not to set out
tea-roses until the weather is thor
oughly settled and they should of
course, only be planted in spring.
Fall planting may be done in the lat
ter part Of October or early in No
vember or even as late as the middle
OF December, with excellent results.
Roses planted in the fall. however.
should be set deep, and banked we'll
with earth just before the round
freezes It Is also we'll to cover the
soil about the plants with manure,
which should not be removed until all
danger from severe frost is over,
whereupon this dressing may be
forked under.

to visit the farms and do the testing
every three weeks. He weighs the
milk and keeps an accurate record OF
the feed consumed 50 the net profit
per year Of each individual COW can be
ascertained.
Two Copenhagen milk companies
handle over 100000 pounds OF milk a
day, all of which Is produced under
veterinary inspection and in accord
ance with strict rules laid down by the
company.
Inspectors see that every producer
lives up to these rules, which require
cleanliness at every step.
AS soon as drawn, the milk must be
cooled and kept below so degrees
Fahrenheit; the slightest off flavor
may cause the bottling plant to refuse
the milk.
Then it is pasteur1zed at $50 de-
grees, cooled to below SO degrees and
put into small-necked bottles sealed
with corks or expanded pulp covers.
Milk sold in bulk is sent out in large
sealed cans from which IT may be
drawn only thru a faucet, over which
must appear a statement of its quality.
In this way skim, one-half skim,
whole milk and cream may be put out
by the same wagon at prices varying
according to the quality without dan
ger of the purchaser being defrauded.
All this milk is Of the same high
standard. Thirty pounds of
Ice must be provided for every eleven
gallons of milk produced.
There are 100 cooperative and 800
private creameries in Denmark. These

Stringent rules are laid down in
'egard to cooling the milk on the farm
md in not mixing mornings and
nights milk. All foods which may
mpart an Objectionable flavor to the
milk are forbidden.
The creameries are compelled by
aw to pasteurize all skim milk by
leating to $50 degrees before it leaves
he creamery, to prevent the spread Of
tuberculosis thru this medium.

Sore Shoulders And Necks

Sore shoulders and necks in horses

proper care of the horse in early
spring before the skin and underlying
tissues have become hardened to the

Diseased conditions of the foot or

abnormal gait. A horses collar should

to the majority of drivers while
the wearer of patent feathers can

self with the thought that his under
standing shows up well even if his face

preston.
The collar should be we'll made, with
fair amount of springiness on pres

stance, heavy collar for heavy draft
work, while lighter one can be used
for driving horses. Let it be suffi-
ciently long that the hand may be

This rule varies somewhat. Of
course, in the various types of horses,

Many farmers believe that nothing
can be done to prevent this; but not
so. Just look over your field and you
will find that the curling is greatest
in certain places where the blowing
was shallow, as at the end of rows or
around stumps and other places where
the pillow could not go deeply or
where the ground had been tramped
by animals.
Corn curls more easily too on thin
soil or hard pan or where the clay
comes too near the surface. Take a
field of this kind Of soil and another
" hich has been deeply plowed and is
we'll filed with humus and the differ
ence will be quite noticeable. Soil that
is loose. and friable to a depth of six
or eight inches will hold moisture
much longer than other soils ard
therefore the corn plant will not suf-
fer nearly as much as quickly in
case of drouth as that on light, or thin
soil
To prevent corn curling. therefore,
we must keep the soil in good condi-
ton and to great depth. 1t must be
well supplied with humus. because the
corn plant cannot live without air and
moisture. It is a good plan to , j.
serve generally that in the season Of
arouth. particularly early in the
spring. we must pillow just as deeply
as possible and put the soil in loose.
and friable condition.
AS the season progresses and moist
ure Is lacking cultivation must be
more frequent. The cultivator must
be kept going all the time and par
ticularly after each rainfall This Gull
tfvation should be begun as soon as
the ground is workable after rains

LEAF MINER OF INTERESTING HABITS

The trumpet creeper. one of our
most beautiful of vines, is. compared
with other ornamental plants, rela-
lively free from pests, but 1t Is SUI bject
to tho attacks Of a singular small
black beetle that may injure the leaves
so badly and cause them to become so
us,sightly as to render the plant value
less for the purposes for which it is
planted.
The adult insect is a flattish alon
gate beetle belonging to the same
Il. mily as the cucumber beetle. Seen
on the leaves in July when it is album
dant as an adult. it looks like Lit Of
bark. or other rubbish. and since It
remains quiet to escape detection,
with its legs folded up about the body,
and drops to the ground If the leaves
are disturbed, the collector is more
likely to collect it by accident. than
from recognition Of it as an insect.
The females begin placing their eggs
promptly in June. and may be found
on the plants until July Is, or thers-
abouts. Somewhat later they disap-
pear. but reappear again in numbers
about September II, these being the
individuals that hibernate.
The eggs are placed singly on the
