he begun in early fall and continued
until the trees have all been gone over
This is done by cutting away the in
jured bark sufficiently to trace the bur-
row and then removing the borer with
knife or hooked wire. Previous to
worming the soil should be dug away
from the base of the trees so that the
castings exuding from the burrows may
be seen and assist in the more ready
location of the borers. Since many of
the peach borers in the fall are yet
quite small, very careful work will be
necessary to destroy all of them. After
the trees have been wormed once it is
good practice to go over them again.
The earth should be drawn around the
base of the tree before there is danger
of freezing weather. The same plan
should be followed in worming the trees
in the spring. at which time it will be
somewhat easier to detect the borers be-
cause of their increase in size.
The work of the fruit-tree barkbeetle,
or shot-hole borer, is often first de-
tected on trees during pruning opera
tons in winter, and steps should be
taken soon as 1t is discovered to
correct the trouble, If possible. The
shot-hole borer as a rule attacks trees
which are in a state of decline from
any cause. 1t winters in various stages
in galleries just beneath the bark. Peach
trees attacked by this insect and which
still have vitality to exude gum at the
injured points may in some cases be
brought into condition by severe prun-
ing and an application as the buds swell
in the spring of an effective wash, as

wash. or a wash made of 1 pint of crude
carbolic acid and 1 gallon of soft fish
oil soap dissolved in gallons of water.
Washes should be thoroughly applied to
the trunk and larger limbs. In the case
OF apple, pear, and other trees which
do not exude gum to any extent, it is
question of judgment whether it will
be possible to save trees attacked by
this insect. If the infestation is rather
severe, it usually indicates that the tree
is beyond hope of saving. Individual
branches on trees may often show at
tack by this insect and should be prompt
ly removed and burned to prevent its

HoW to Make and Use Pendants
Fondant should be made the day be-
fore 1t is to be used with your can
dies and should not be made on a rainy
or damp day. Never use more than
two cups of sugar and a half cup of hot
water at time. Do not shake the pan
in which the fondant stands nor scrape
the sides of it when emptying it, Put
two cups of granulated sugar and half
a cup of boiling water into an enameled
pan and stir it until it has dissolved
and no longer. Take out the spoon i'm
mediately and let the sugar come to a
boil; as the grains of sugar are thrown
up against the sides of the pan they
should be wiped off Immediately with a
moistened brush or swab, so that no
particle of sugar is allowed to crystal
lie; after the fondant boils for ten min
utes test it by dropping a little in cold
water; il it comes to the soft-ball stage,
1t should be removed from the fire at
once; be sure not to jar the vessel which
contains the fondant and pour it out
carefully into a shallow bowl or pudding
dish to cool; if the film which forms over
the top is jelly-like the fondant Is all
right; if not, you had better put it back
on the fire after having added a few
spoons of water. boil and repeat the
process of testing. When it is cold
enough to bear the fingers in stir it with
a wooden paddle or spoon until 1t reaches
a consistency stiff enough to be worked
with the hands as you would work

Trinidad, Colo.-There is nothing
suggestive of the casual or perfume
tory in the examination that John d.
Rockefeller Jr. is making of condi-
tions of the coal companies operated
by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany in southern Colorado.
Nothing escapes the keen, alert
young man of millions who is here to
learn for himself the exact situation
as to the surroundings and working
conditions of men employed in the
southern coal fields, especially in con
nection with the company of which he
is a director.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who had travelled
all the way from New York without
his destination becoming known,
stepped from an ordinary sleeping car
on a Santa Fe train arriving from
Chicago Monday morning. He was ac-
oompanied only by his secretary.
Charles o. Heydt. Mr.. Rockefeller
was welcomed at the station by Jesse
F. Welborn, president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, and others.
1t is not in any sense personally
conducted tour of inspection in that
Mr.. Rockefeller is led by officials who
show what they want him to see, but
the young magnate leads for himself.
He seeks the truth concerning the liv-
ing conditions of the miners and man
ifests the greatest interest in the wa
ter they drink, the conditions at the
trading places, the roads and high
ways, the comfort of the homes and
the facilities provided for the enter.
tainment of the residents Of the coal
camps.
He doesn't seek figures as to out
put or concern himself with means for
increasing production, but talks to the
miners as one with an interest in
their welfare.
He asks pointed questions concern
ing the character OF the work, and
seeks suggestions from miner, fire
boss. the clerk behind the store coun-
ers. the housewife and the camp doc
tors.
He ate lunch with the camp super
intendent fresh from the mines, at.
tired in oyeralls.
He talked to, the school children,
and throughout showed the interest
that he undoubtedly feels in the gen
eral welfare and social betterment OF
the workers In the mines.
At Berwind Mr.. Rockefeller entered
a number OF the houses inhabited by
the miners, made inquiries concerning
the heating. lighting and home condi.
tions generally, visited the camp hos
pital and made numerous inquiries
concerning the health and comfort OF
the camp and commended the work
on the roads and grounds accom-.
plished by means OF the money con.
tributed by the Rockefeller founda.
