ROADSIDE BRUSH.
A Breeding Place for San Jose Scale
and Other Pests-ShouId Be Cut.

Many farmers feel at this time of
the year that it is time to clean up
round their farm buildings. 1t is sug-
gested that during this cleaning pro-
cess that they pay special attention to
the roadside brush. especially the diff
ferent varieties of wild cherry,
hawthorn bushes and Seeding apples.
These trees and bushes should be cut
out because they are a breeding place
for San Jose and other scales, black
knot, apple and plum curculio and
other pests and fungus troubles
Oyster shell scales are found on will
low poplar and apple trees.
The cedar rust spends part Of it's
life on cedar and juniper trees. With
out these trees in the vicinity of or
chards, the cedar rust cannot exist
The rusts are becoming more and
more serious in some parts of the
state and are liable to become serious
in this section when many of the trees
which have been planted recently
come into bearing. A little time spent
at this time of the year removing
these injurious trees and bushes will
greatly lessen the amount of damage
a great percentage of their food sup
plies will be removed.
Some state have laws compelling
people to spray fruit trees and keep
these wild plants, which serve as
breeding places for orchard troubles
cut down. Something Of this sort
ought to BE enacted in the state OF
Massachusetts, in order to protect the
fruit growers who are conscientiously
nually, but who have their trees re-
infected annually because their neigh
bors do not spray and care for theil
trees.

PUTTING DOWN EGGS.
Water Glass a Most Satisfactory
Preservative.

It is good economy for every fam
lily that uses a dozen or more eggs
per week to anticipate the high prices
Of the fall and early winter by put
ting a sufficient number Of eggs in
storage to carry them through that
period. 1t is very practical to store
these eggs in the home cellar because
it can be done most cneaply there and
the highest grade of eggs can be pur-
best month in the year for purchasing
the eggs because at this season they
are strongest, which means that they
contain the smallest percentage of
water and are also cheapest. A most
satisfactory presevative Is silicate Of
soda, commonly called water glass
which can be purchased at most drug
stores at a cost of from 40 cents to
so cents gallon. This should be used
at the rate of one part to nine parts
Of water and the eggs completely
covered with the solution. A galvan-
lied iron or wooden receptacle may be
used for this purpose.
1t is not necessary that all eggs
should be put down at the same time,
but it is important that they be alb
solutely fresh and unwaShed because
the process of washing destroys the
protectip- film on the surface Of the
shell ana weakens it's keeping quail
ties. Only sterile eggs should be used,
as their keeping quality is so per cent.
greater than that OF fertile eggs and
they are less likely to be damaged be-
fore being placed in the storage. Eggs
kept for 10 months under these condi-
lions will make just as light cake as
just as palatable for the breakfast

PLANT POTATOES DEEP.
Work Of Digging a Poor Reason for
Planting Shallow.

A great many potato growers do not
get their seed potatoes in sufficiently
deep to guarantee a sufficient amount
Of moisture for the root system during
it's growing season. By placing the
potatoes fairly deep the seed will
come in contact with a larger source
of moisture and guarantee a much
better growth and Results.
Many condemn this idea because OF
the extra work it may have on dig
ging the potatoes. This is a poor
reason for planting shallow. Shall
low planting should be considered
only where there Is an extremely
heavy soil, especially where it Is of
the clay type. Most Of the soils In
Hampden county are Of the sandy
loan nature and where a reasonably
sized seed piece is used deep planting
will be the most satisfactory. Foul
inches should be considered a reason

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

tilizer, if anything, stronger in phos-
phoric acid and potash than what is
contained in manure. If manure OF
other fertilizers are used among the
trees, they should be placed directly
over the feeding roots.
Many farmers have been found who
have fortified their trees with man
ure and put the manure just as close
to the trunk Of the trees as was pos
sible. This method of applying fer
ulizer will not be as beneficial as 1t
ought to because the roots which are
directly beneath are channels rather
than feeding roots. The fertilizer and

One great peach trouble in this sec

can easily be controlled by using the
regulation dormant spray which near

There is one thing to remember, how
ever, and that is that it is well to ap-
ply this spray just as early as posi-
BILE. or before the buds start to swell.
The fungi on the outside Of the buds
and twigs should all be killed before
they have an opportunity to get be-
meath the bud scales, which they will
do just as soon as the buds start to
swell. Peach buds start to swell very
early, and it is high time that the
dormant spray Of concentrate lime sui
phur is applied, using one gallon dill
