MOST SERIOUS PEST
OF GRAPE INDUSTRY
Small Worm Bores Into Young
Fruit, Causing 1t to Be
Worthless for Marketing.

One Of the most serious pests of the
grape industry within recent years is
the grape berry worm, a small insect
that bOres into the young grapes and
causes them to be worthless FOR mar
keting. Entomologists at the Ohio sta
ton have been studying this moth
since 1906 in the Lake Erie section.
The two broods of the moth are easily
controlled by proper spray measures.
In some cases large vineyards have
been so infested with the insect that
the crops were not worth picking. In
others where the owners sprayed the
vines carefully, less than one per cent
of the crop was injured.
The first spray is applied when the
grapes are about one-eighth of an inch
in diameter. Four pounds of arsenate
Of lead paste is used with the $3.50
formula of bordeaux mixture and two
pounds of dissolved soft soap as
sticker About six weeks later, or
August $40, the same mixture Is again
applied to kill the second brood. Hand
spraying is preferable to machine ap-
plicatiOn. The station experts say that
sprayings at other times have failed to
control the grape berry worm in Ohio.

Make Hand Grenades Now.

The number of accidents in British
factories during the year 1915 was
206 above the average for the last ten
years, according to the annual report
of the inspectors of explosives.
The number of deaths in manufac-
ture was q and the number of per-
sons injured in factories during the
year was 10, SO of these cases being
of a tritling nature. In view of the
vast increase in the number of per-
sons employed in the manufacture of
explosives, this result may be regard
ed "a fairly satisfactory.
Very little work has been done in
ordinary fireworks, nearly all the fac
tories having been engaged in filling
hand grenades or in making signals
for war purposes. This work they
were specially fitted to carry out, and
they have thus been enabled to keep
going at a time when the public pro-
hibition of firewOrk displays would
have compelled them to close down.

WHEN HOG CHOLERA
MAY BE SUSPECTED
Well to Obtain Thermometer and
Take Temperature of Animals
Apparently Well.

When q disease that is contagious
appears among hogs, spreading more
or less rapidly, is quite uniformly IA
tai, and is accompanied by a high
temperature, it is quite safe to as
sumo that it is cholera.
Where cholera is suspected, it is
well to get a thermometer and take
the temperature of a number of those
that are apparently well. The normal
temperature is from 1O1 to 1O3 de-
grees in winter and about one degree
higher in summer. If cholera is pres
ent, the temperatures will be found
as high as 105 to 107 degrees.
Make post norton on q hog that
has just died, and examine the kid
neys for small, dark spots resembling
those on turkey egg. Look for small
red spots along the small intestines
and somewhat larger ones ON the
lungs. The Emphatic glands, which
are found in the flank, along the intes-
tines, and between the lungs, and
which are light amber color in
health, will be found congested and
varying from a pink to a very dark
color.

LOST CITY OF THE INCAS

she went down in the elevator and
looked for Jim in the hall. Jim was
nowhere to be seen.

Dolly thanked him. She felt foolish

Dolly, unable to speak, fled, while
the stranger followed her in hesita-

Dolly saw what was wrong. She had

it shot up, she perceived the stranger

burst into the room.

exclaim to a girl who was just enter

was Mortified to see Jim folding an
other girl in his arms.
Dolly screamed but her scream was
not so loud as that of the other girl.
She wriggled out of Jim's arms and
confronted him Indignantly.
How dare you! How dare you'll"
she cried in fury, while her face grew
scarlet. "And what are you doing in

1y handled, do all the light work that
IS required, and, in addition, produce
colts every year which rapidly develop
into marketable animals. The colts
are usually kept until four years of age
and the surplus sold for about 5000
each. Mr.. Doyle estimates the cost of
raising cclt at about SIS per year.
There are good meadows and pas
lures on this farm. Every square foot
OF the meadows and pastures is well
covered with nutritious grasses and
clovers instead of broom sage, briars
and weeds. The land is thoroughly pre-
pared, MANFRED and sown in sapling
clover, orchard grass, timothy and a
small amount of alfalfa. The mixture
usually consists Of three pounds of al
falfa, five pounds of timothy, eight
pounds of sapling clover and three
pounds of orchard grass to the acre.
The alfalfa seed is put in to gradually
inoculate the soil SO he can SOW alfalfa
at any time, on any part OF the farm,
and be sure that the soil is inoculated.
From the above grass mixture three or
four tons of good hay is usually OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Doyle grows what he needs and
feeds what he grows. Only small
amount of cottonseed meal is pur-
chased to feed his dairy COWS. The av
erage farmer in his section buys the
larger part Of his feed. Many thou
sands Of dollars are sent out OF his
county annually for feedstuffs.
Rotation Practiced.
A rotation of crops, including legu-
minous crops, is practiced on his farm.
The corn is usually followed By wheat
the wheat by peas or peanuts. The

Preparation FOR Planting.
The planting Of fruits in this area
should be done, as rule, in the
spring, and the soil so handled that
it will conserve as much moisture as
possible at the time planting is COM
menced.
1t is generally advisable to summer
fallow during the season that precedes
the planting, and an adequate supply
Of soil moisture is still further insured
if deep burrows are opened in the fall
along the lines of the tree rows.
These will serve to collect both the
drifting snow and some of the run-off
during heavy rains, which might 9th
erWise be lost. One very successful
fruit grower on q dry-land ranch even
supplements the burrows by digging
in the autumn rather large holes
where the trees are to stand. Under
ordinary climatic conditions this
method of preparing the land should
result in the trees starting into growth
readily and making a good develop
ment of roots.

OF course there is a silo on the

and convenient place to store all the
corn grown on five or six acres. The
silo takes care of all the corn crop
early in the fall; insures succulent
feed for winter and in long dry spells,
when pastures fail; provides a bal

such protein feeds as cowpeas, peanut
hay and cottonseed meal; and makes
it possible to properly feed more dairy
cattle on the small farm.
The 60-ton silo holds enough silage
to feed the 10 milk cows for six months
feeding about 80 pounds per day to
each COW. The silage is fed with pea
vines or peanut hay and some cotton

Prepar red by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Fruit-grOwing in the great plains
area is home-making rather than
money-making enterprise. This region
is not primarily. fruit-growing cOun-
try owing to lack of moisture in the
soil, but few commercial orchards
have been developed in favorable To-
cations. In spite of adverse climatic
conditions, such as damage from
steady winds, hail and early frosts,
considerable progress also is being
made on numerous ranches in growing
a supply of fruit for the home.
The tree fruits that occur most
commonly in the dry-lapd ranch orch
ards are apples, cherries and native
plums, according to new publication
of the United States department of
agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 727. In
some of the milder parts of the area,
especially in the southern section,
pears, peaches and apricots are found.
Currants and gooseberries are prob
ably the most important of the small
fruits. June berries, buffalo berries
and Strawberries are sometimes to be
found.
Sites for planting fruit should be
selected, wherever possible, with
view to conserving the supply moisture
in the soil. For instance, where a
small stream passes through the ranch,
q dam may be constructed and the wa
ter diverted to the orchard. Again,

Removing Dents From Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or
scratched, it is 0eten a problem to
know how to get rid of the marks.
This is quite easy if the following
plan is adopted: First of all, fold a
piece of blotting paper at least four
times; then saturate with water,
finally allowing the superfiuous mois-
ture to drip away. Now heat fiat
iron until it is about the warmth re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp blotting paper over the dent and
press firmly with the iron. AS soon
as the paper dries examine the mark.
1t will then be found that the cavity
has filed up to surprising extent.
Where the dent is very deep a second,
or even a third, application on the
lines indicated might be tried. Sooner
or later even serious depressions can
be drawn up. and most people who
have not tried this plan will be sur
prised at the result of the treatment.
