look the fact that iE July, 1914,
Just befUre the outbreak of the

alarming balance of trade against
the United States. They will not
forget that the balance of trade
turned against us soon after the

PRUNING. FOR. APPLE. TREES
OF Utmost Importance That Attention
BE Given AnnualIy-All Stumps
! Will Die Back. !,

It is of the utmost Importance that
apple trees should receive annual
pruning, for otherwise long shoots
four, FIVE and six feet in length may
be thrown. out The fruit. is ultimate
ly borne away out on these long
branches which bend under the great
weight and ofttimes break. Trees
suffering from this lack Of pruning
are very noticeable every fall when
many overladen and Improperly
formed trees are badly broken. Such
trees are bound to prove great dis
appointment sooner or later. IA cut
ting off branches no stumps should
be left. They are the cause Of many
sore and rotten places on trees and
will set up black heart In course OF
time. All stumps will die back to the
main branch or body unless sprouts
are allowed to grow on them to main
tain vital action and this should not
be allowed. Painting the wounds at
once is, quite helpful In preventing
checking, decay and disease.

THE PEACH TREE BoRER.
One of the Most Destructive Enemies
Of the Orchard.

One of the Most Destructive Enemies
Of the Orchard.
Among the numerous insect pests
that attack fruit trees the peach tree
borer is one of the most destructive.
At this time of the year this denizen
Of the orchard is in the larval stage
and will be found at work under the
bark at or below the surface Of the
ground. The eggs are deposited by the
adult in spring and early summer on
the trunk of the trees. In time the
eggs are Matched, and the larvae begin
their work of destruction. None Of the
trees are immune from the ravages of
this insect, because this pest has been
widely disseminated, there being no
section entirely free from. Its attack.
The only effective remedy that is
recommended is to dig them out. This
work should be done In early winter
or some time before growth begins In
spring. Secure competent labor, ex-
ercising care not to injure the bark
any more than necessary. Remove the
soil from around the trunk and with
a sharp knife or rasp scrapekon the
gummy oxidation and cut ont all In
jured tissue, destroying the larvae az
they are found.
Trees that are badly infected should
be gone over several times, once in
early winter and again In spring. Aft
er the spring "worming" mound the
earth about the trunks. This Is much
cheaper and Is to be recommended IN
preference to the wrapping Of the trees
with paper or painting with some coal
bar preparation.-C. J. Hayden. Misais

s LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

Oat straw makes good roughage
for idle horses when it is well saved,
but feed little hay along with it.
To groom the horse well after hard
work does not only clean the skin, but
prevents various parasitic diseases OF
the skin.
A horse that is, hidebound will be
benefited if given a little oilmeal Gin
seed meaD. This must be begun In
doses of not more than a tablespoonful
at feed and gradually increased to
nearly a pint with the other food three
times per day
In feeding aged steers quality and
type are not so essential as in feeding
: calves provided the purchase price Is
proportionate.
The busy bacteria gets busy in the
milk almost Mt the moment 1t is drawn
from the COW.
AS a. rule, large flow Of milk is as
ISOLATED with a low per cent of fat,
while small flow shows higher test.
No man is in better position to
build up his soil than dairyman If he
uses wisely the forces at his command.
The calf that is expected to develop
into strong and profitable COW should
be given all the chance possible during
its early period of growth.
1t is a source of satisfaction to the
progressive dairyman to be able to
sum up at the end of the year Just e1-
actly what every COW has done.

GENERAL SPRING SEEDING.
Sowing by Hand and With The Aid Of
Disc Drill or Harrow.

Sowing by Hand and With the Aid Of
Disc Drill or Harrow.
Some men can SOW seed evenly by
hand, while others make bad failure
Of the job. The trouble with sowing
seed broadcast by hand is that in most
cases the seed Is distributed very I'M
evenly, in thick patches here and thin
patches there. The inexperienced
hand, too, may SOW more seed than Is
necessary to the acre, or he may not
use enough seed. A few experienced
men can SOW fine seed broadcast al
most as evenly as can be done with
mechanical contriyance. y
Where seed is to be sown by hand
broadcast the surest way to haze the
ground covered evenly for perfect
stand is to SOW lightly both ways OF
the field. However, mechanical seed
ers which distribute seed evenly and
In set amounts to the acre are cheap
and by all means should be used when
It is possible to secure them. or me-
chanical seeders for small seed there
are many different kinds, ranging from
the wheelbarrow seeder to the small
seed attachments to grain drills. The
wheelbarrow seeder is one of the best
Of these kinds for one man use only.
Common sense and good farming
practice should teach us that all seed
should be planted IL it is expected to
terminate and produce crop of good
plants. Every year literally thousands
Of bushels of high priced seed are
wasted simply by throwing the seed
upon the bare surface of the soil to
take its chances with rains and ele-
ments The reason SO much of the
valuable seed is wasted is that 1t never
becomes covered with soil; hence much
of 1t never terminates and grows.
Much is washed away by rains and
| melting SHOWS. Some that does germi-
| nate on the surface of the soil never
makes good plants because the young
roots are too near the surface. They
are killed with the first dry spell Of

and become well covered where 1t fell
without being moved. If the wet. al

really plant it, then it will be all right.
The surest way to plant small seed
| Of all kinds at any season Is to open
the surface soil with disk drill or

the disks and then cover with smooth

the old style way without being GOV

same as large seed, and when farmers
come to realize this important fact less

DUST VS.. SPRAY FOR PESTS
Results Of Experiments Comparing
Lime-Sulphur With Dust In Sew
eral Commercial Orchards.

At the January meeting of western
New York horticultural society DR..
Donald Reddick Of the state college
reported progress on the experiments
comparing lime-sulphur with dust con-
Quoted in several commercial orchards
in the Lake Ontario section.
He emphasized the work thus:
1. The experiment shows most
strikingly that the, mixture must be
applied, at the proper time.
2. The dust method is applicable
/ to old and large trees which need II
most
8. Three to six times as many
trees may be covered in given time
with dust as with spray.
4. The total cost Of treating trees
with any materials is not greater than
for spraying them.
s. A mixture containing 10 per cent
Head arsenate is apparently sufficient
to control common insects that chew
6. Two to three pounds Of dust
mixture should be applied to each tree
each time Tin the experiments three
applications were made).
Z. The experiments indicate so fan
that the busting mixture should con
tain 80 per cent exceedingly finely
ground sulphur and 10 per cent lead
arsenate.
8. If the grower wishes to make
his own mixtures he should use suit
able mixing Machines
9. No injuries have been reported
from breathing the dust; (but unless
the operator wears tight fitting cog
giles he will suffer from smarting o.
the eyes, especially after the day'i
work is over).
10. Spraying machines must be
