There are comparatively few or
chardists at the present time who
doubt the value Of spraying apples
moth. On the other hand, there are
many who are, in reality, not pro-
tecting their orchards from these two
cardinal apple pests as is possible or,
indeed practica BILE.
It Is unnecessary to go into detail
in explaining all the reasons why fruit,
wormy from the cooling moth or
stung and deformed by the curculio'
is permitted Suffice to say that In
many cases there is no reasonable ex-
cuse, except the failure of persons to
carry out plans of spraying which are
already we'll known to be effective.
There Is strong tendency, how
ever, noted recently among many
fruit growers to do more careful and
intelligent spraying so that higher
percentage of first-class apples may
be prodruced. A few years Of par
tial fruit failures from adverse and
uncomfortable weather conditions
makes 1t even more necessary that IN
the other years we save our crops
from destruction by insects-an ac-
complishment quite within our power.
Among the many insects damaging
the apple crop there are two which
stand out pre-eminently as the most
destructive. These are the curculio,
the old offender commonly known as
the plum curcuiio, and the well
known cooling moth. The damage
done TO apples alone in the state of
Missouri by these two insects in
year when an average crop Is borne
runs into millions of dollars.

BY g. Il. MARLAT

the very existence of the citrus or
chards. Thanks. however, to the
Australian ladybird, and, doubtless
also to many native predaceous and
parasitic insects, it is no longer feared
in California. The long scale in
Florida, also. was much more injur-
ious in the first years Of its activity
than it has been since. In 1896 the
black scale was very abundant and
destructive in the orange districts
about Riverside, Cal. Partly owing to
adverse climatic conditions and partly
to natural enemies. this insect has
almost disappeared from this district,
which is now one of the least affected
by scale insects.
These facts are cited to give the
citrus growers whatever encourage
ment they may offer, but not with the
idea of belittling the need of remedial
operations.
The original home Of the purple
scale Is unknown, but it now occurs
practically wherever the orange or
lemon Is grown. It was probably in
troduced into this country at an early
date. It is frequently associated with
the long scale, and is one of the most
troublesome scale insects affecting
the orange and lemon, because 1t Is
very difficult to get an application on
the trees strong enough to kill all Of
its eggs with one treatment. For
many years the purple scale was linn
tied to Florida and the Gulf region,
but some years since it was carried
on Florida stock to California, where,
fortunately, it has not yet become
widely distributed. In general color

Pruning Berry Bushes

The question is often asked as to
the amount of pruning necessary
for blackberry and raspberry bushes
and when this should be done.
This pruning of raspberry and
blackberry bushes may be done at any
time after the leaves have fallen. If
I could have my choice as to the date
I would do the pruning at the close
of the winter. But those who have
large plantations are obliged to do
the pruning when they have leisure

The Stats should be 31a or feet

made on this principle out Of heavy

Feed Rack for the Lambs

To get the best results from feed
stock should have feed-saving and
convenient racks and boxes.
Sometimes there is more feed vast
ed than eaten by the stock. especially
when the corn is thrown out in mud
eight or ten inches deep for the hogs
to muss over, or when sheaf oats and
clover hay are piled out by post or
against the side of the shed to be
trampled under foot by the cattle and
horses.

Cheap Living In Old London.

by Nicholas Decremps. the author Of

England in 1888. Decremps found his
laundry bills excessive, especially the
charge of AZ pence for washing a
shirt. And" he adds pathetically,
"shirts are changed every day in Lon
don. Such is the general custom, due
no doubt to the griminess of the atmos-
phere." Still. on the whole, he found
living less costly in London than in
Parts. Beef was obtainable for 81
pence and mutton for 6vepence a
pound. A quartern loaf was only seven
pence, and other food prices were on a
similar scale.-London Chronicle.
