Plum CureuIIo.-This insect makes
a puncture in the tender young fruit
in which 1t lays its egg. 1t then cuts
a crescent flap around the puncture,
making a characteristic wound. The
egg soon matches into a larva, COM
monty called "a worm," which feeds
upon the fruit and often causes it to
drop prematurely Often the wormy
fruit starts to rot before 1t drops and
thus helps to spread the rot fungus to
other fruits. Spray with arsenate of
lead, using from pounds to pounds
to so gallons just before the blossoms
open and again as soon as they fall.
Two weeks later spray with 2 pounds
arsenate of lead to SO gallons. Paris

When the insect is very abundant
jarring may also be practiced. A con-
venient catcher" is made Of cotton
sheeting stretched over a frame
mounted on low wheels. One side is

BIRD is FRIEND
OF ORCHARDISTS
If All Members Of Feathered Tribe
Were Killed Land Would Be
0verrun With Bugs.

In spite of the annoyance that
birds cause by eating fruit, orchard
lists who have made close study of
the matter say that the birds are the
best friends they have. If the birds
were to be killed the land would soon
be overrun with bugs and worms, and
fruit raising would be destroyed. Not
all orchardists. however, agree with
this statement. An Illinois fruit grow
er stated at horticultural society
meeting that birds should not be pro-
tected any more than snakes. He kills
hundreds of orioles, robins and
thrushes every year because they de-
stroy some of the fruit. 1t is stated
on reliable authority that If mulber-
ries are put out near cherry trees the
birds will eat the berries and not mo-
lest the cherries to any considerable
extent.

Not a Rich Reward,

A popular doctor was not long ago
much pleased with a certain aerated
water, and by his assiduous recon-
mendations procured for it celebrity
it justly deserved. The doctor acted
solely in the interests of humanity
generally, and expected no return. To
his surprise there came one morning
an effusive letter from the company,
saying that his recommendations had
done them so much good that they
"ventured to send him a hundred"

September helps to keep the curculio
under control.
Plant Llce.-Several kinds Of plant
lice, or aphides. attack the plum.
They work on the under side OF the
leaf so that 1t curls and often drops.
They multiply very rapidly. On nur-
sery stock they may often be fought
quite successfully by cutting of the
infested tips promptly and destroying
them or dipping In nicotine sulfate,
"a, but in the orchard this Is hardly
practicable and probably the best that
can be done is to spray with nicotine
sulfate or with whale oil soap, one
pound to about seven gallons of wa
ter, as soon as the lice appear and
before the leaves curl.
Fruit Rot. SeIerotInia FructigIna.-
This disease causes much loss to
plum growers by rotting the fruit and
sometimes also by destroying the
blossoms and the tender shoots In
spring. 1t is particularly destructive
in Iowa to plums of the domestica or
European class, such as Lombard, or
Spanish King. German Prune, and
Blue Damson. and also to the Japa-
nese plums. 1t finds easy entrance
to the fruit through punctures made
by curculio or other insects. 1t may
be partly controlled by fighting the
curculio thoroughly and by spraying
with lime sulphur.

the plum. The same disease attacks

If Crestline could have included
TWO more residents in its special CEN

more saloon. AS it is, the city will
have to get along with seven. It's
population up to date is 1898. Oak

OLD GAMES FOR THE YOUNG
BIindfoIded Player Must Recognize
others by Feeling With Large
Spoon Instead Of Hands.

In the game called "A Spoonful OF
Fun" instead of feeling with his
hands in order to discover who it is
that he has caught, the blind man is
given large spoon which he uses as
wand. AS in Silence the players
must all remain perfectly still. Direct
~ he succeeds in finding some one
the blindfolded player tries, by deity
touching him here and there with the
spoon, to discover who it is. AS it is
much easier than anybody who has
not tried can possibly imagine to dis
cover the identity of a person by
spoon touching, it is best for the IN
blindfolded players to try and disguise
themselves as much as possible.
Some might stand on tiptoe to make
themselves appear taller, others tie
handkerchiefs round their necks or
wrap themselves up in shawls; and
the boys might remove their telltale
collars OR put on their overcoats.
