their attention to the roots, where
they will commonly be found at all
seasons on roots to a depth Of a foot
or more, but some of them infest the
bark of the trunk, or branches and
shoots coming from the roots. They
are often seen about the margins of

where while finding food they are

Awipgless females. So the soil be.
comes fairly lousy with them in time.
The insect spreads rapidly toward the
approach of winter by the appearance
of a generation Of winged females
which fly about, assisted in their trav-
els by the winds. The result is a
wide distribution of the insect. These
in turn bring forth a generation of
males and females. A winter egg is
soon deposited on the bark Of the
tree in some crevice. 1t matches in
the following spring, and a new col
ony is soon started.
Particular care should be used to
plant only clean stock. Nursery
trees showing much injury by woolly
aphis should not be planted. Trees
from among infested stock should be
treated by dipping the roots in kero-
sene emulsion, containing about ten
per cent. of kerosent, after dilution.
Dipping the roots for a few seconds
in water maintained at a temperature
of 1876 degrees Fahrenheit is an ef-
fective simple treatment, when it can
conveniently be done. Special care
should be taken to protect trees the
first few years.
Buyers of nursery stock should in
sist upon having a proper official GER
tificate of inspection with all trees
purchased, as a safeguard against
diseased trees.

KNACK OF FEEDING
MUST BE LEARNED
onu Established Custom Among
Poultrymen to Feed Hens
Wet Mash Every Day.
(BY OSCAR ERF.)

There is a knack in feeding hens
that must be learned by experience.
The hens must be we'll fed and yet
should always be a little hungry.
During the day they are not to be at
any time satisfied, but in the evening
they may be fed all they will clean up
in half an hour. 1t is a long-estab-
lished custom with poultrymen to feed
hens a wet mash once a day. This
may be fed In the morning or in the
evening, according to convenience.
Evening feeding is preferred by most
people. Where meat and green food
are well provided. the mash a be
dropped out of the bill Of fare entirely
and it's place supplied by a greater
variety Of grain food.
The method of feeding grain usually
suggested for winter practice is to
feed in straw or other litter. A place
to scratch not only provides the much
needed exercise, but keeps the hens
contented. warm and healthy. The
finer the grain, the more often the
feeding, and the deeper the litter, the
greater will be the exercise the hen
must take in finding her daily allow
ance of food. Large breeds and old
hens must be forced to exercise more
vigorously than smaller hens or pull
lets.
Examine the hens, and, If they are
excessively fat. enforce more exercise.
Leghorns are by nature active and
restless and will take plenty Of exer-
else If given half a chance. Comfort
and freedom from disturbance of any
sort are essential to the best results
with laying hens.

J. H. HAMMOND WOULD PACIFY YAQuIs

John Hays Hammond has asked
the Mexican government to permit
him to go, unarmed and accompanied
only by an interpreter, into the
mountainous stronghold Of the Yaqui
Indians in Sonora, to pacify that
turbulent tribe. The government of
Mexico has fought the Yaquis for
thirty years, but today the Yaquis are
u~nconquered.
Mr.. Hammond expects that the
Madero government will give him the
permission which he desires. His
program is based on his belief that.

Mexico, many years ago, the under
