Many who raise poultry appear TO
, think that any shack or dcrelict out
building which has outlived Its original
purpose may be made to prolong its age
OF usefulness by being converted INTO a
chicken coop. Therefore such 1t usually
is--a coop in every sense Of the d,ction-
ary's definition BOX or Enclosure for
small animals, poultry to confine in a
narrow compass to crowd, TO imprison.
Chickens will live in quarters OF this
kind. but they will not be contented ana
comfortable and hence seldom profitable.

results from a flock Of fowls unless their
abode Is:

Well ventilated and yet free from direct

Evils are sure to result from lack OF
these elements, especially from lack OF

sible to maintain cleanliness In a shack.
The attendant is usually too cramped to
do his work easily, and conditions are
such that he seldom takes an interest In
their improvement.
There is no reason why a coop
should not be designed and built with
sufficient character and attractions TO
discard the opprobrium associated with
coop and earn for itself the dignity
of poultry house, or hen house, and at
the same time not overta1 the builders

A. L. Quaintance. acting chief of

that there are many species Of borers
attacking fruit and shade trees. which
belong to different orders of insects.
but especially to the L%epidotera or
moths. and Coleoptera or beetles.
These insects vary greatly In their
habits. and different methods OF con-
troll are often necessary. Thus, the
peach borer, the Larvae Of a moth

and other stone fruits.
"The r~oundheaded apple tree borer
(Sdperdd cdndida) is quite destructive
to the apple and Is common on other
pomaceous fruits and certain wild
plants.
The so-called shot hole borer
(ScoIptus r~uOulosus). attacks most
fruit trees when they are in a state Of
decline and quickly finishes them.
Usually other species Of borers attack
various shade trees.
"THE Suns suggestions concerning
the bringing together OF publications On
borers under one cover is a good one.
This appears practical at least for
fruit insects and for shade tree insects.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE GARDENER
NEXT YEARS. STRAWBERRY CROP

the United States is made Of a layer Of
heavy loan, COW manure and bottom
soil from a creek not far distant.
Each layer is piled up eighteen inches
high. A second tier of layers is
thrown Upon the first pile. This is
permitted to lay under cover for a
year. The compost is then shovelled
into a grinding machine made for the
purpose. where the mass is thoroughly
pulverized and mixed. 1t Is then
carted to the potting sheds where 1t
Is used. For some plants a little sane
is added to make the soil somewhat
lighter and give the best possible
drainage.
