FRUIT TREE FARMERS
Much Damage Done by Borers
and Other Pests.
Trees Should Be Examined and Every
Egg Mass, Cocoon, or Any Cover
ing In Which Insects Hide
Should Be Removed.
(Ry nv. NJ RrMsEYl

The treatment which an orchard
tree receives during the first few
years of its growth often determines
to a-considerable degree the profitable
ness of its bearing life. If allowed to
become weak and stunted, as result
OF attacks of insects, 1t may live on
from year to year. but win probably
never fully recover. Many young
trees are killed outright by borers and
such pests, or so seriously injured
that they soon succumb to droughts
or are broken down by storms.
A young orchard that is not pro-
tected from these enemies is likely
soon to show many missing trees, and
those remaining will be irregular in
size and will lack uniformity in shape.

lect is continued, these defects will
become more and more apparent as
the orchard advances in age. 1t is es-
sential, therefore. in establishing a
good orchard. that the trees not only

full insects and insect injuries, but
that they may be kept so.
Young trees are less able to with
stand severe injuries than are old
ones, but they are, likewise, more
easily protected. Their small size
makes it an easy matter to examine
them for, and to remove, borers. They
can be sprayed quickly and effectively,
and such insects as tent-caterpillars
web-worms and bag-worms can be re-

AMOUNT OF WATER IN SOIL
While Moisture Is an Absolute Neces-
sity to Plants an Excess Is as
Bad as Deficiency.
CBy e. R. JoNEs.)

OF the several conditions which in
fiuence the growth of crops none is
more important than the amount of
water in or on the soil. While water
in a thin film around the soil grains
is an absolute necessity to plants, an
excess is as bad as a deficiency. Too
much water is detrimental because:
l. 1t makes areas so soft that they
cannot be cultivated. When these soft
places are long and narrow in form,
they cut the upland into irregular
pieces that cannot be cultivated con-
veniently.

SELECTION OF BROOD soWs
Great Mistake to Breed gifts Under
Eight Months of Age-WeII-Formed
Tests Essential.
CBy R. G. wEArHERsToNE.)

We believe 1t is a great mistake to
breed gifts under eight months al
though many farmers breed them at
FIVE months.
A gilt at five months is not fully
developed and cannot, therefore, pro-
duce pigs with the greatest vitality.
A gilt bred too young can never
recover the vitality she loses at that
time and while some farmers say that
they produce good pigs, they probably
do not know how much better ones
they might have had they been bred
three months later.
Never select for a brood sow one
that has a long face and wild eye
and nervous manner. The quiet kind
with plenty of room for food make
the best mothers
1t is very important in selecting
a brood sow to see that she has we'll
formed teats on both sides.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younneri Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui

large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t does ID
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time: by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Over Odd Bridge to Jonah's Tomb.
A unique bridge spans the Tigris at
Mosul for which parallel cannot
be found anywhere In the world. 1t
is built partly of masonry, partly of
wood, and for some distance is of the
pontoon type. First comes 10O-foot
stretch of masonry pier, then a bridge
of boats 400 feet long and crossing the
main channel; then comes another
stone pier of $50 feet, leading to an
800-foot stretch of brick arches, fol-
lowed at last by another stone pier
nearly 200 feet long. 1t seems as If
the builders changed their minds sew
eral times before finishing the odd
structure.
1t is across this bridge that one
goes to explore Nineveh, where Botta
and Layard made their sensational
discoveries so years ago. The whole
dry, brown plain about Mosul is a
vast forest of ancient mounds, thick
with signs of long-forgotten inhabi-
tants
Ninevah is not even a memory with
the wild, ignorant tribes who roam the
desert of old Assyria. At one edge OF
it's ruins stands the little village OF
''Nebi Yunus," and the reputed tomb
of Jonah. The identity Of Jonah
seems alone preserved-and he was
one of the least in his day.
At night walked back to Mosul.
/ looked back once, and the setting
sun was reflected from the dome Of
Jonah's tomb. What fame this man
won, by riding in fish, Sennacherib
is forgotten, but all the natives know
"Yunus" and the tale of the big fish.

nan may be put in the dock with Doc

people are with him and he wears his

NEEDED SUPPLY OF POTASH
All That Is Required Is to BLOW Deep
~ and Bring Lower Soils Into
Contact With the Air.

There is a good deal OF talk in ad-
vanced farm circles as to what we-are
going to do for supply of potash now
since the importation from Germany
is cut off. So far as ordinary soils are
concerned, that need can be readily
supplied If the farmer will but reso-
lutely face the problem of deep pillow.
ing, says Hoards Dairyman. All of
the lower soils contain a large supply
of potash.
All that is needed to bring it into
use and profitable contact with grow
ing plants is to go down after it. Pillow
the land twelve to sixteen inches deep,
bring up that stiff, impenetrable sub.
soil and give 1t contact with the air;
mix 1t with the top soil and give il
contact with the manure and other
forms of humus. That will set the
potash free, put 1t in shape so the
roots of plants can utilize 1t.
We do not need to do this deep
blowing every year. Once in FIVE or
six years will do. But we will know
good deal more about it, and the
benefits that come from II in various
ways, IL we once set about Il in "a
practical, earnest manner Most farm
ers dread to start In this work. They
dislike to incur the expense of deep
filling pillow, and they are skeptical as
to the results. But they always will
be in dread, and always will be skep-
tical until they go ahead and put
themselves where they can see and
learn.
One benefit is that you can get at
your deeply plowed land several days
earlier in the spring. Clayey soils
lose time in the spring. Every farmer
is afraid of blowing them until they
are well dried out for fear of their be-
ing lumpy all the summer long. But
deep blowing helps great deal in this
respect.
