Onthe Spurof the Moment
By Roy K. Moulton


A young man who gave up his
sleeping berth on southern rail-
road to an old lady received $4,000
under her will, when she died a month
later, all of which leads me to the
complication of the following rules:
When a iieshy old gentleman steps
upon your corn while climbing into
his seat at the theatre and then stands
on il for a minute or two while nod
ding to an acquaintance in the rear
of the house. do not call him an anti
quated bonehead or an ivorybeaned
old galoot, but smile upon him gra-
ciously and OFFER him the other foot
to step on. Make a few pleasant re-
marks about the weather, and ask
after the state Of health OF his family.
Then go out and buy him a bouquet
Of violets and present it TO him.
II an old lady with square spec
tacles. who looks as though she might
have money, sticks an umbrella point
in your eye. lift your hat politely and
ask her if she won't have an Ice cream
soda
II a gentleman in the train piles his
baggage in your seat while you are
in the smoker. give him a good cigar
and sit on the floor.
II man runs you down with an
automobile and breaks all of your ribs
and one Of the lamps on his car, send
him new lamp and bouquet OF
American Beauties as soon as you are
out of the hospital.
There are thousands of occasions
Of this kind of which you may take
advantage, and which may pan out

them in the trench either singly or in
bundles, and pack the earth hard about

to keep out the frost.
When the frost has gone out Of the
ground throw back the blanket from
your cuttings and take them out. On
the ends of fully 80 per cent Of all you
put in the ground will be found swol-
len rings. and from these will start the
roots that are to make plants Of the
sticks. Now separate the cuttings and
plant them in their proper locations,
and it will not be long before you have

PRoPAGATING SHRUBS.

Garden Work 10 Never over-It 10 .
Continuous Performance.
When the late flowers have been cut
down by the frosts it might be pre-
sumed that the time for garden activi.
ties is over. But as fact, garden
work is never over. 1t is one continu-
Gus performance that anticipates sea-
sons by months, and to this early prep
aration is due the success of our sum-
mer gardens. When the tulips are put
into the ground the winter is marching
along fast, but there is work to be
done just at this time which will bear
fruit the next summer.
Just before the ground freezes hard
cover up piece with leaves or litter,
or anything that will keep out the
frost, for it is in this ground that any
Of the shrubs for which you may have
fancy are to be propagated.
Do you want hydrangeas or weigla
or privet or dogwood or fOrsythia? II
you care for these now is your chance
to get great many for almost nothing.
With a sharp knife make as many cut
tings as you want plants and throw In
20 per cent for good measure. Bury
these cuttings all but two inches and
by spring they will be young plants
ready to plant out This is what 10
called sweating" or making little
sticks into large bushes under the
snow.
The question Of getting stock is sim.
pie. No one would refuse you permits.
sion to take a few sticks of their n.y.
drangeas or other shrubs in the middle
i Of the winter. Stock Is possible If one
has sharp knife. The handiest and
! most satisfactory way to proceed is 90
follows: Make 4 trench about four.
teen inches deep, and long enough to
accommodate all the cuttings you
make. Make the cuttings little long.

application Of the preparation deS"rib

similar creeping pests.
The cankcrworm is hest known as q
pest Of apple and cherry orchards. but
it is even more destructive to elnis
Modern methods require frequent
spraying with arsenical poisons as a
protection of fruit against the cooling
moth. and this has the incidental ef
feet of killing canker worms.
The San Jose scale can be destroyed
by the uae II one OF the lime and sui
phur mixtures. which may be purchas-
ed ready made or brought into solution
by boiling the raw materials together
as follows: Fifteen pounds Of lime. fiji.
teen pounds Of sulphur and fifty gal.
Ions Of soft water. For fifty gallons
Of the spray heat twelve gallons Of wa
ter in four gallon iron kettle, mixing
in separate vessel fifteen pounds Of
sulphur with enough water to form
thin paste. Add this sulphur to the
water in the kettle and bring the mix
ture to temperature just below boil
ing. Then add fifteen pounds Of best
lump lime, keeping cold water at hand
to use as the mixture threatens to
boil over. After the lime is fully slak-
ed, boil for forty minutes with almost
constant stirring. Then strain into a
fifty gallon tank and fill with warm
water
Cooling moth, attacking apple and
other fruit trees, should be treated
with the bordeaux mixture, which can
be purchased ready for use or made
up as follows: Copper sulphate (blue
vitrioD, four pounds: quicklime mot
air slaked), four pounds; water to
make fifty gallons. Dissolve the cop
per sulphate by putting it In a bag Of
cheesecloth and hanging this in YES
sci holding at least four gallons, so
that it is just covered by water. Use
an earthen or wooden vessel. Stake
the lime by addition Of small guam
tity Of water and when slaked cover
freely with water and stir. Strain the
milk Of lime thus made into the cop
pei sulphate. Pour more water over
the remaining lime and stir the strain
into the other until all lime but stone
Jumps Is taken out.
The bordeaux mixture Is effective IN
treating asparagus rust, cabbage
worm, mildew, rot and parasites on
grapes, early blight, scab and Colorado
! beetle on potatoes, leaf blight and In
I sects on muskmelons and watermelons
worms on tomatoes, raspberries and
blackberries, slugs and leaf blight on
roses, leaf spot on strawberries, rot on
fruit trees and nearly al insect pests
and fungous diseases

NOTES FROM THE HOG LOT.

Fine hair denotes good quality in a
pig nearly as much as in horse.
Don't feed the young pigs intended
for breeding purposes altogether on
corn.
Ashes have good effect on the pigs
digestion, besides killing intestinal
worms.
A hog that can be fattened while
young will be the most profitable one
to breed.
It is well to have a trough in the
hoghouse in which are kept wood
ashes, salt and copperas.
A hog needs all his time to make
pork and should not be expected to
spend any moments fighting lice.
Hogs require attention regardless Of
condition, age or sex. but the manage
ment Of the brood SOW d the surest
test Of the breeders skill

The false bottom Is absolutely neces-
sary in order to prevent the jars from
coming in contact with the bottom Of
the sterilizing vat. causing them to
break during the boiling. For this
purpose an ordinary No. 16 wire net
ting Of half inch mesh, which Is cut
to at the bottom Of the boiler, can be

the kind. Caterpillars. in their vari-
Gus forms. were unusually destructive
last summer in all parts Of the coun.
try. They seemed to be getting the
start of land owners in corn and cot
ton fields as we'll us in orchards and
gardens.
The diculty in fighting the cutworm
lies chiefly in the fact that it operates
extensively in fields and hides in the
ground. Its operations cover such
wide territory and its migrations are
70 rapid that ordinary spraying proc
esses are not effective. This caterpil-
lar is Identical with the army worm
and probably the same as the cotton
worm In habits and formation it is
identical, though rather larger in
southern localities than in the northern
lake region.
When a farmer knows in the spring
that there are cutworms or army
worms in his fields he should adopt
vigorous measures. The extra work
tGyolved is cheaper than replanting
his crops. A second blowing of the
land Is helpful, the last to be as near
aeeding time as possible. All methods
Of stirring the soil as summer warmth
comes on are beneficial. The pillow
tears up the nesting places, throws
the insects out where birds may get
at them and Greatest a general dis
turbance
This extra tillage is good for the
land and will 60 long way toward
DISCRIMINATING the pests. In connection
with the work of blowing and cult
waiting it will pay to use preparation
made on the basis Of one pound Of
Paris green, thirty pounds Of bran and
two quarts of molasses. Moisten the
bran with water before mixing. This
may be manufactured in larger lots

STORING VEGETABLES.

Store onions in a loft rather
than in cellar. In the latter
they will sprout. to their injury.
A few parsnips for winter use
may be lifted and stored in sand
in the cellar. but as freezing
sweetens them it is best to leave
many Of them outdoors for later
use. Store potatoes in bins one !,
foot or eighteen inches deep,
raised somewhat from the door.
Do not bruise or they will
be likely to rot. Roots in the
nature sf salsify and horseradish
freezing does not hurt, so the
main lot may stay out where
grown, but some should be dug
and put in earth in the cellar for
winter use. A few heads Of cab
bage may kept, heads down, in a
barrel in the cellar.
