taken for the house fly, but close
examination shows the abdomen to
be longer and thinner, and the wings
when folded to be little longer than
those of the house-fy. The eggs, laid
at the root of the plant attacked,
are small, long, thin and white. They
are easily found by digging away the
soil from the root of the plant. The
eggs will sometimes be found an inch
and half below the surface, and often
in large numbers. They require from
two days to week to hatch. The
small maggots crawl to the roots and
begin work. They sometimes eat the
root off. and at other times girdle it.
This causes vigorous looking plants
to wither up and die.
The maggots feed on the small
tender roots. On the small plant
they feed on the tap root, while on
the older plants they feed on the
secondary roots. When the maggots
attain a certain size, they crawl away
from the plant about an inch or
little more, and there pupate, in a
short time coming out as flies. The
maggot is white and thin, and is about
five-twelfths of an inch long; the
pupa is brown in color, and is shorter
and thicker. The period of pupation
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-01

is rather indefinite, but it usually
takes from few days to week. The
second brood of flies begin to appear
shortly after the maggots have done
the most noticeable damage. The in
sects usually live over the winter in
the pupa stage, though sometimes in
the fly stage.
Coming out of the pupa, the fly be-
gins to hunt place to deposit the
eggs. 1t is said that the female lays
about sixty eggs. She is also said to
be quite inactive, but this statement
is questionable.
1t is definitely known that there are
two broods each year. 1t is probable
that there are more than two broods,
but even if there we're only two, they
overlap enough so that they cause
some damage most of the growing
season. They may, however, not be
so destructive in the latter part of the
season. The first brood lays the eggs
quite deep in the soil; the second
brood, nearer the surface. l have
recently found eggs at the top of the
ground around the root, and even on
the plant little above the ground.
This may be due to some sprays we
have applied to the soil.

moved the wound should be thorough
ly coated with good paint of color
corresponding to the bark of the tree.
Most ornamental trees will need but
little pruning after the first general
shaping. This should be done when
the tree is planted.
Evergreens, when the natural style
of gardening is practiced will need
practically no pruning. If the formal
style of gardening is used, shearing
will be necessary at intervals to keep
the branches In the desired form.
Most towering shrubs will do bet
ter if they are pruned little each
year. Flowering shrubs might be put
into two classes, those which flower
in the spring from buds formed the
previous fall, and those which flower
during the summer or autumn from
buds formed that season. Most early
or spring Towering shrubs should be
cut back just after blossoming rather

kinds in winter when the plants are
dormant). Shrubs such as deutzia,
lilac, SNOWFALL, azalea, mock orange,
weigela, forsythia, barberry and most
of the woody spireas bloom during
the spring and they are best headed
back just after blooming. Many of
the roses, cIematis, hydrangea, hibis-
Gus and tamarisk flower during the
summer and need not be headed back
until winter or early spring.
Before changing the top of a tree
or shrub, study the plant itself. Re-
member that a shade tree should have
but one trunk or central stem, with
branches and foliage we'll up from
the ground, and so arranged as to
give the most shade possible. A shrub
should have several stems with enough
branches aud foliage to make a com
pact mass of green, brown, red or
whatever its color may be.
Train your plants gradually rather
than all at once. When portions of
the top are to be removed keep in
mind the object of the plant. Ii 1t
is to be pleasing to the eye or to give
shade, pruning should be done &C
cordingly.
Keep in mind at all times that a
plant is living thing and very I'M
stable that it can be abused by neg
lect or strengthened by care.

ORNAMENTALS, PLANTING AND
PRUNING.
PLANTING.

when there is the least evaporation
from the plant. This period is dur
ing the winter. At the beginning of
the season the declduous trees and
shrubs have lost their leaves and the
season IS growth has become matured.
In most localities planting can safely
be done any time from November to
April. Evergreens are harder to
transplant than deciduous trees. and,
in handling, their roots should be
disturbed as little as possible.
Although the time Of planting is
important, the care in preparation of
the soil and planting are more i'm
portant. Good drainage Is necessary.
If the soil is not naturally we'll drain
ed. arti tcial drainage should be
given, In many soils this can be
done by digging the hole for planting
a little deeper than usual and coarse
gravel filed into the bottom of the
hole. This will keep the roots from
being covered with water during
period of heavy rains. In other soils
it may be necessary to tile drain for
the land and if this is done line Of
tile could be run to each clump of
trees and shrubs. Ornamentals should
be set in hole large enough to re-
ceiye the roots without crowding
them. The depth of setting will de-
pend a great deal upon the plant.
Most trees and shrubs should be set
a little deeper than they stood in the
nursery row.
All broken roots should be removed
when the plant is set and enough
of the top to balance any loss Of root
by transplanting. A little fine dirt
should be placed in the bottom of the
hole and tamped well around the
roots. One of the most important
things to remember when setting any
plant is to place fine soil around the
roots and firm it we'll.
LIZ the soil is moist the plant will
need no water when set, but If 1T is
dry, water should be put into the hole
after the plant has been set and the
hole partially filed with soil. 1t
should be added slowly SO that the
fine particles of soil are not washed
from the tender roots. When the
water has been absorbed by the soil
the hole should be filed.
If the plant is received from a dis
lance and the roots are very dry,
they should be placed in trench fill
ed with water and covered with dirt.
The roots will usually freshen in this
way and may be planted with little
danger of loss.
PRUNING.
In the pruning of ornamentals two
objects must be considerable pro-
duce the desired shape, and to cause
a uniform development of foliage.
Deciduous trees when once established
will need very little attention except
to cut off limbs which hang too low,
to correct unshapely growth, and to

A ten-pound capon can be grown on
about the same amount of feed that
an eight-pound rooster requires. An
eight-pound rooster will bring sixty
four cents if the market is that high.
Where capons are in demand, a ten
pound capon will bring twice as much
per pound, or $3.50. His food cost is
about the same as that of the sixty.
four cent rooster.
There probably are very few deal
ers in Kansas who would not be glad
to handle capons at a considerably
higher price than they pay for old
ROSTERS, if they could buy Them in
any numbers. Ask your OWL dealer
and find where he stands.
Caponizing is a simple operation.
Any careful person can soon learn to
do it successfully. The fact that q
birds testicles are hidden away in
side the body has caused most people
to suppose that the operation Of re-
moving them is at once difficult and
dangerous. While the percentage Of
loss is somewhat larger than results
from the castration Of the larger ami
mails, it need not run much, if any,
about FIVE per cent for the beginner.
One of the reasons why the number

than other farm animals before the
operation can be undertaken. The
birds that are killed die a quick and
painless death by bleeding. They are
not a total loss, as they are perfectly
wholesome for food.
It is difficult to state that the exact
size or age at which cockerel may
be most successfully operated upon,
as different birds develop differently.

ginner will be safe in using birds
