TO DESTROY WORMS
Peach and Apple Tree 4orers May Be
Best Eradicated in the Fall or
Early in the Spring.

The fan and early spring is the two
best seasons for destroying these
worms. If not killed they will in q
year or two completely girdle, and
thus destroy the tree.s The most eff
fectual method to destroy them is to
dig away the earth from around the
base Of each tree to the depth of six
or eight inches, scrape the bark, clean
and insert the end of wire into their
burroW and kill them
II the worm cannot be found use
sharp-pointed knife and cut narrow
strip of the bark lengthwise of the
trunk; he may usually be found just
inside the bark. Examine each tree
closely, kill them, then rub in rosin
soap to fill up the wound
The same means should be taken
against the peach tree grub.
After the trees are wormed and
dug around pack about one peck OF
wood or coal ashes around the base
of each tree and allow this to remain
until late in the summer. This pre-
vents the beetles from depositing
their eggs in the soft bark at the sur
face OF the ground. the place usually
selected. The fall is the best time to
scrape the green moss of the trunk
and larger limbs. A short-handled hoe,
ground sharp, is an excellent little
scraper. The young green bark should
not be injured. After scraping wash
the larger limbs and trunk of each
tree with warm water and soft soap.
Hard wood ashes may be used instead
of soap If ashes cannot be had to
pack around the trees. use Stacked
lime.

STOP EGG-EATING BY FOWLS
Vicious Habit Often Started In Flock
by Hens Fighting Over Nests
Decapitation 10 Best.
(Rv n. bal. SHEPHARD.l


AS the pullet begins laying, more
nests will be needed, and it is very
important that plenty of nests should
be provided, so there will besno quar-
reling over them.
The vice of egg-eating is often
started in the flock, because the hens
are fighting over the nests, break the
eggs. and find out that they are good
to eat. Soft-shelled eggs and feeding
egg-shells without crushing them will
also teach the hens to eat eggs. When
one learns, it doesn't take long for the
whole flock to get the habit, and then
there is trouble indeed.
Soft-shelled eggs should be guarded
against by feeding the hens plenty OF
clover, and keeping them well supplied
with oyster shell and green cut bone.
Whenever you catch a hen in the
act Of eating an egg, better send her
to market or cut her head of at once.
So far as my experience goes it is
the only sure cure.
Some people advise cutting the bill
down to the quick, filing the egg
shells with red pepper, ETC.. but this Is
great deal of trouble and cruel.y,
and have never known it to cure.
Prevention is much the better way.
Supply the hens with plenty of
nests, guard against the soft shells,
never throw egg shells out without
crushing them, and gather the eggs
often.

Fear For Statue
of John w. Daniel

has been heard recently from the con-
Germ in Rome, Italy, which had the
commission to cast the bronze statue
of the late Major John w, Daniel.
and some fear has arisen over the
fact that the European war may delay
the delivery OF the statue.
The likeness OF Major Daniel went
to the founders in Rome early in
April. at which time the sculptor. Sir
Moses Ezekiel was assured that deiiv-
cry could be made In time for the un-
yelling here in Lynchburg late IN
June. At the time OF his visit here
in May SIR Moses hoped to be present
at the unwilling, but after this he
was appraised that more time would
be required for the cast than was at
first thought. From that time until
this the gentlemen in charge of the
monument commission have heard
nothing from Rome.
