GOOD TREATMENT
NEEDED BY PLUMS
Dropping of Fruit Before Maturity
May Be Prevented by Civ
ing Proper Attention.
Ry BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)

There is common complaint among
plums always drop before maturity.
This can be easily prevented by prop
er treatment. 1t is usually due to
lack of nourishment. late frost, or the
curculio-most frequently to the lat
ter, though often the two enter as
| damaging factors.
In early spring while the ground is
still frozen, mulch heavily with horse
manure. This serves the double pur-
pose of supplying the necessary plant
! food, and of holding the frost in the
ground, and retarding the growth Of
the buds until danger from frost Is
over. After the weather becomes set
tied, the coarse part of the mulch
should be raked off and removed leav-
ing the fine part to contribute it's
richness to the soil.
Just before the buds Open spray
with paris green or london purple for
curculio, using in proportion of one
pound of the arsenite to 300 or $50
! gallons of water. Stone fruits re-
quire more dilute solution than ap-
pies.
Paris green is less liable to burn the
foliage, though we have ourselves used
the london purple for years, with no
bad results. BY mixing the arsenite
with twice its bulk Of lime one may
guard against injury to the leaves.
A cheap, tin pump, costing only a
dollar, has proved all that is needed
for the spray. though If one wished
to use bordeaux mixture, the brass
pump would be required.
! Never spray when the trees are in
bloom, as this will be fatal to any
bees in the neighborhood; besides,
the best time for the preservation of
your fruit is just before the buds open,
just after the petals fall, and still
again two weeks later. II this is
thoroughly done there will be no more
trouble from curculio.
When the trees are small enough to
be easily handled. jarring every morn
ing into sheet spread for the purpose.
will lead to the capture of this pest, as
it goes up from the ground to its work.
The insects method OF work is
this: 1t cuts a tiny flap out of the
embryo plum. deposits its egg, and
leaves 1t to hatch, where the larva
will find the table literally spread
for 1t.
Plums are rich. wholesome, deli
cious. No other fruit requires so lit

COMBATING INSECT
PESTS IN ORCHARD
Remove All Refuse, Such as De-
cayed Fruit, Dead Leaves,
Limbs and Trees.

The orchard should be thoroughly
cleared of all refuse such as decayed
fruit, dead leaves, limbs and trees, just
after harvesting the fruit. There is
only one way to produce good fruit
and that is to keep the orchard in a
healthy condition and as free as pos
sible of the many ravenous pests. that
would, If not held in check, quickly de-
stroy it.
Where rubbish is allowed to remain
in an orchard, especially through the
winter season, it makes good har-
Dor for insects; but II removed and
burned will destroy large portion OF
them.
Every sucker, dead limb and tree
should be removed from the orchard
as we'll as all refuse under the trees
for upon these useless branches and
trees and under the rubbish winter the
enemies which next spring will lay
the eggs which will produce thousands
OF pests.
There are many insects and fun
gous growths which never begin their
attacks until the trees are commencing
to die from some other cause, but
hasten the death of sickly trees and
then spread to the others.
Some persons will often permit dead
trees to stand year after year In their
orchards to decay while others will
simply cut the trees down and pile
them until the insect life which they
contain has developed into myriads
and passed on to attack the nearby
living trees.
Dead trees should never be cut down
and the roots left in the ground. They
must be taken out roots and all for the
roots contain insects which il not re-
moved will pass to the roots Of other
trees.
Two of the most destructive insects
we have to trees are the root borer
and the bark beetle. They are both
easily detected. The root-borer can be
found near the surface boring its way
into the roots while the presence OF
the bark-beetle is noticeable by the
limbs and body of the trees containing
small holes as though charge OF
buckshot had been fired into them. II
these enemies are allowed to run their
course the result will be the death
Of the trees.
The birds are our best friends and
the very best means Of destroying all
insect pests and should be encouraged
to live and nest in the orchards: There
is scarcely a bird that is not worth
more than its weight in gold because
of the many insects 1t destroys,
1t is stated there are about S65 in
furious insects which are known to
feed upon the apple alone.

Italians a Thrifty Lot.

Simon w. Straus, president Of the
American Society for Thrift, is study
Ing methods of thrift used in Italy. He
has been surprised to learn that in
the last 80 years savings in Italy have
more than quadrupled, having risen
from $26S, 900 to $1,000, 100000. The
chief means Of inducing thrift are the
ordinary savings banks, which number
about 200, with nearly 100000 depos-
itors, whose deposits total $5O0,OO0, 900,
and the post office savings banks with
an average of 100000 depositors,
whose savings amount to $450,000, 900
The remainder Of savings are held by
cooperative societies Of credit and by
the savings departments attached to
pawnbrokers' establishments.

This ability that fruits and veg
etables have for Strengthening their
tissues in the autumn sunshine. Is
called curing, and while vegetables
and many fruits must be separated
from the parent plants to perfect this
process, the winter tree fruits are nat
urally subjected to this curative proc
ess in that the tree no longer lifts
such quantities of sap to the fruit, and
the stem instead Of conveying mois-
ture, becomes merely a means of sus-
pending the fruit in the sun and air
where 1t cures.
The wise farmer likes to see two or
three frosts upon his apple crop be-
fore he gathers 1t.
The next essential is to gather the
fruit without bruising it. Hand
picked they must be for winter keep
| ing.
After gathering, the fruit should not
be allowed to lie long in heaps upon
the ground, but should be sorted and
kept in a cool, airy building until bar

DILEMMA FOR YOUNG WIFE
One Naturally Would Think That the
Cook Book Might Have Been
More Explicit.

They had been married but a few
weeks when they decided to have a
turkey dinner for some friends. The
young wife was very inexperienced in
cooking and spent some time In con-
sulting her cook book. The bird ar
rived, and the young husband asked:
Don't you know how to do it, dear
est?"
They both gazed solemnly at the
turkey for a moment, and then the
wife. replied:
"Yes, darling, it's all quite clear ex-
cept one thing, and l can't quite un-
derstand that"
And what is that, lover" asked the
young husband, anxiously.
"Why, the book says, First clean
your turkey" replied she, "and am
wondering whether should use toilet
or regular securing SOAP"

Shoes for Soldiers,

A study of the orders given by Ma
poleon indicates the care he exercised
to have a sufficient supply of shoes
provided. On one occasion he wrote:
You know that shoes are always
needed in war;" and at another time
he said to Baron Lejeune: Shoes
help on marches, and marches win
battles" To Sir John Burgoyne's
question addressed to Wellington:
What was the first requirement of a
soldier?" "A good pair of shoes" he
replied. And the second require

That apples may reach maturity,
properly, 1t is necessary that they de-
velop under normal conditions.
Wormy or diseased apples ripen pre-
maturely and will not keep. Fruit that
is to be kept for winter, must not
mellow on the trees, nor soon after
picking.
Healthy winter apples are yet imma-
ture in late summer. That is why
they do not ripen under the warm
August sun that mellows the pears
and peaches and fills the purple grapes
with sweetness.
At this time, winter apples should
not have colored, nor quite attained to
their full growth. During the early
fall when the days are shorter and
the heat less intense, maturing of the
winter apples is slower than with
summer varieties and this retarded
process seems to insure f1rmer flesh
and tougher skin than is the case with
summer varieties.
During late September and early
October, the sap flow is gradually les
sening. The leaves turn to yellow
and brown. The apples are now fully
matured, colored and as far as growth
is concerned, ready to come off-but
nature will yet do something for the
fruit. The succulent vegetation which
developed the squash and pumpkin,
has been severed from their fruits by
the careful grower, but this rule need
not apply in the case of the winter
tree fruits.
The tree having withdrawn its exub-
risk from frost. Under the influence
of the cool nights the skin Of the ap-
pie brightens and toughens.
