WATCH FOR BORERS
 IN APPLE ORCHARD
Examination of Trees Should Be Made Twice Each Year-USe
 a Sharp Pointed Wire.

Apple trees should be examined for borers at least once or twice each year. In the spring and early fall are the times to look for borers. Probably in the early fall is the better time if just one search a year is to be made. The presence of the borer is discov- cred by the brown castings they make. These are found at the base of the tree. An incision is made with the knife and sharp pointed wire with a slight hook is inserted and the borer is drawn out. If the hole does not run straight it may be necessary to soak a wad of cotton in carbon bisulphid and insert this in the hole and then seal the opening with moist dirt. The fumes of the carbon bisulphid will kill the insect.
 The beetles can be prevented from laying their eggs in the trees by painting with pure white lead and lin seed oil paint made pretty thick The dirt should be cleaned away to a depth of about three inches so that the trunk can be painted below the surface to a height of more than a foot above ground. After painting the dirt should be replaced

FIRING OF EACH OTHER.

 And Jack was tired of me; Most longed-for sweets will soonest cloy, Fnte had been kind-and we. Two foolish spendthrift hearts, made

 Of lifes gifts with eager haste. We clanked our marriage chains and

 For freedom we had left behind.
 Turning from the altar, husband and wife, does not always presage happi- nass forever after, despite the general belief of single folks to the contrary. Good writers warn men and maids that they should study each other carefully before the tying of the knot, which becomes strained and tangled If attempt is made to untwist it.
 But how can a woman, young and ophisticated. know what is in mans heart, or in his thoughts? He is sure to show the best part of his nature to his dearie in his courting days. Even his temper is held caro- fuhy in leash. He never tells her that he thinks her extrayagant in the pur'

(By LEONARD EASTMAN. University
 Of Missouri, College of Agricultural
 The most effective and economical method we have at present for the control of the San Jose scale in the orchard is to spray with one of the best scale-destroying washes in the fall or early spring. There are a number of washes which are entirely effective when properly applied. These may be grouped in two main divisions oil and lime-sulphur washes.
 In some respects the oil washes have advantages over the ime-sulphur, while in other respects the latter has marked advantages. The oil washes are applied more easily, spread more evenly and creep down into cracks and crevices, where it Is difficult to force the lime-sulphur wash. It takes less of an oil wash to cover the same surface and the average fruit grower Is likely to spray more thoroughly with the oil washes, especially if he does not "retouch' trees sprayed with llme-sulphur. An oil wash, if used at proper strength, is more quickly fatal, which often enables it to destroy the scale before dashing rains come and wash it off. Among the disad- vantages attending the use of oil washes may be mentioned the price of material, in case prepared commercial brands are used. and the greater dan ger of injuring the trees by successive applications.
 The lime-sulphur wash Is the old standard scale wash. It has been in use since the early introduction of the

HOW TO MAKE GRAPHING WAX
Resin, eeeswax and Tallow Are Nee essary Three ingredients-Should
 Be Melted Slowly.

There are three ingredients in the best grating wax for use in outdoor work: rosin, beeswax and tallow. The proportions (by weight are rosin four parts. beeswax two parts. tallow one part; in all. seven ounces or pounds. They are to be melted slowly, in an iron vessel, putting in the rosin ten minutes or so before the beeswax and tallow. Then all well mixed together by much and careful stirring.
 When thoroughly mixed Gin twenty or thirty minutes) a convenient DOT tion is poured into bucket containing cold water. In a short time-rather less than a minute-it will be cool enough to be lifted out by the hands and pulled like taffy. The hands, of course, must have been greased with tallow. to prevent sticking. When it becomes light yellow by pulling it is ready to be made into short rolls, three or four inches long and an inch thick. and placed in another vessel of cold water, to harden
 Additional portions of the melted wax can be put through the same operation until all is used up. The sticks, when sufficiently hardened, can be put away until required in grating. This wax will not crack on the grafts. nor will it melt and run down in the hot sunshine. In using it, II the weather is cool 1t will need to lie in water that is moderately warm In warm weather. cool water may be necessary In lifting it out of the wa ter 1t will be best to shake off as much of the moisture as possible.

GOOD HINTS ON STRAWBERRY
Most Profitable Varieties are Those Not Influenced by Differences in
 Soil and Climate.

Professor Lazenby gives the follow ing summary of essential points to be kept in mind:
 The most profitable varieties for the commercial grower are those not eas. fly influenced by differences of soil and climate. Those which succeed we'll on wide areas are usually better than those which have a mere local reputation.
 Pistillate varieties when properly fertilized are more productive than the sorts with perfect flowers.
 The value of variety for fertilizing pistillate flowers does not depend so much upon the amount as upon the potency of the pollen.
 The flowers of pistillate varieties are less liable to be injured by frost than the flowers of perfect varieties.
 Varieties that are neither very ear ly nor very late in point of maturity

 If many lovers knew each other as they really are, they would not be so anxious to join their lives together for all time. The majority of lovers are not overfrank with each other. They deliberately practice deceiving a little. He leads her to believe that he does not care how much he spends on her fl he can only see her happy Deep in his heart he is concluding that he will soon put a stop to that sort of business after marriage.
 She leads him to believe that she has an angelic disposition; no temper at all. Tacitly sbe leads him to imag- inc that he is to he a martinet in the household after marriage. His wishes will be supreme: his word law. Men tally she is concluding: I'm giving him his way now. After marriage therell be a different tune sung. It will be my wishes that shall be obeyed or therell be war in camp"
 Ere the honeymoon has scarcely be- gun. the mask has slipped just trifle from each face and heart. The one stands revealed to the other. as he and she really are. There are few couples who take the situation philo- sophically and good naturedly strive to overcome difficulties More couples give way to their disappointment and make 1t the basis for quarrels and bit terness.
 Lcve cannot long withstand such cold. whitening blasts. The upshot of the whole affair Is that they soon be- gin to tire of each other. If common sense comes to their rescue then and there. they will frankly confess their faults to each other and live up to their promise. If there's but tiny root of love left in each heart, 1t can sprout up into a healthy plant. its beautiful tendrils intertwining A couple once welded should never al low their hearts to drift apart through wearying with each other.

WAITING TILL HE GETS A RAISE.

The day wore on. my dear.
 And when the noon grew hot.
 The drowsy birds forgot to sing,
 And you and I
 To talk of love or live for faith
 Or build ourselves nest
 And now our hearts are shelterless
 Our sun is in the West.
 How many young couples who are in love with each other. and are in- tending to marry put off the happy day until he has a better position, which will yield more money to marry on.
 Sometimes these great expectations are not realized in a hurry. Busi- ness grows worse instead of better. The young mans salary Is cut instead of raised Marriage hopes are further of than ever The young mans eX- penses are just as high. room rent, food and clothing It's well-nigh i'm possible to lay by dollar
 But with love at the helm they sail on, hoping for better days If the girl Is rich. her father may come to the rescue and help out. He will do most anything to see his daughter settled and happy. Such girl believes she Is safe in taking the chances of his being able to support her this year, that year-some time. But the poor girl dare not take the risk if his sal ary is insufficient for living, it Is a serious problem to solve-giving up hn Uh nf n her head and food for an uncertainty.
 They both love on through sunny years and dark ones which stretch beyond They agree that they will wed when fortune smiles upon them. But they encounter only Dame For tunes frowns. Thus they fritter away life and youth.
 A man can wed any time and be sure of certain amount of happiness and favorable results. But when a woman has passed the rubicon of youth her chances of wedlock with home and children therein. grow fewer While it is not advisable to say in each case that 1t would be better to take time by the forelock and taste Of her sweet ness and best fruits while one may. there is much for and against such decision
 The prudent couple need have little hcsitancy in wedding. They can live better in welded life than in single His room can shelter two quite as easily as it shelters him While 1t is not congenial for a married woman to be advised that she may have to work after wedlock. yet there are ex- tenuating circumstances. If she holds her position for awhile. the combined salaries of the two will enable them to furnish the home nest. be 1t but a few small rooms.

WINTER HARBORS OF
 THE COOLING MOTH
Much Good Can Be Accomplished by Destroying Larvae in Pack
 ing Sheds and Cellars.

Not only are the hibernating larvae orchards right now, but there are also other places where they occur plenti. fully. One of the most common winter ing harbors is the packing shed or cellar where apples were boxed throughout the season. Wormy apples are, of course, taken into the packing sheds along with the good fruit and multitudes of the worms leave the ap- ples and hide wherever suitable place may be found, Cracks between boards. nail holes, knot holes, boxes and rub bish of all kinds in the shed are fa- vorable places for hibernation.
 In one packing shed examined while ago there were a number of boards with old nail holes in them and nearly every one of them contained one or more larvae which had made their cocoons within and were com fortably located for the winter.
 Much good can be accomplished by destroying the larvae in the packing sheds and cellars. In some cases 1t might be possible to screen sheds or caves so that the moths could not get out to lay their eggs upon trees in the spring
 While this search for hibernating worms is necessarily tedious, it is doubtful if people in those sections where it is necessary to spray from fn CiN tA IL. codling moth can afford to neglect Il.

BEST SOIL FOR BUSH FRUITS
Prepare Holes Large Enough In Plant ing That Roots May Spread Out
 Without Crampin1.

Have the soil deeply plowed or spaded and prepare it as soon as the plants are ordered Have the holes large enough so the roots may be well spread out without any cramping Or twisting.
 If there should be any delay be- tween time of receiving plants and putting them out. bury the roots in moist soil-tho heeling-in process
 Remember that if these bushes and plants are to make any returns the ground must be kept well cultivated and moist and fertilized. and the bushes themselves be yearly pruned: after the first year this pruning should be rather severe.

ing to the setting of each days sun For them there is no thought of to. morrow. They believe the present only is ours and that each day should be measured by its joys, not by it's regrets, finding the pearl of hope in the embers of disaster.
 ! Across the happiness of some lives the shadows fall early The sunshine is with others far into the middle life, mercifully warding of the darkness and loneliness. If the star of cheer fitness shines through a benighted sky, a gleam of radiance lights the path that leads onward.
 Give youth pleasure, and it's cup of happiness is full. Middle life and these who have gone still farther on their way find most pleasures empty youth has been a delus!on, middle age unsatisfying and added years a burden and a regret. If che can clasp many outstretched hands, stead fast and true, the year of tho shad- ows is not so keen. If one is alone in the world when his life sun is at it's setting life Is cold and drear under any sky.
 It makes mattero worse if they turn from the light to the gloom. If they are honest with themselves, they must realize their hearts crave warmth and brightness still. Life and they are still fast friends; there is still much to live for ere the night draws nigh. The hand that clasped theirs at the altar may loosen it's clasp in youthtime or afar down the path which they have trod together, but the groping hand of the one that is left cannot wither because of this rending asunder. Few welded hearts are destined to cross the dark stream together. One takes the boat which drifts away from the shore in the early morn, while the birds are sing ing from sheer joy in their gladness of living, loving and mating, and while the dew besprinkles each flower blade of grass and leaf of tree. and the young day pulses with warmth strength and life; the other is des- tined to be left behind until the day is well-nigh spent, and the purple gloaming shuts out the worlds slen- der rim
 Until ones latest hour there is still mission for the one that is left to fulfill-banish regrets and believe whatever happens is for the best, mak- ing no moan against the decree of a power greater and wiser than ours. The memory of love should never die out of the heart Love is youths de light. It is the staff and solace of middle age and the one comfort of years in their decline. The heart has indeed burned itself out when it is beyond the benign influence of love. Yet, Iris better tp have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
 Let no one fear llfe's gloaming. It will be beautiful according to the life we have lived. No heart is SC old that hope and love may not nestle themselves therein. No heart so worn that it cannot be touched by hidden spring and pearls of content be made a setting for it. Peace, joy and love, when the shadows fall, bring the greatest happiness that can crown life.

are the most productive and have the longest fruiting season.
 AS rule, varieties that have the most vigorous and healthy foliage arc the most productive, while those with a weaker growth of foliage and a greater susceptibility to leaf blight are usually more prolific.

care, one can prepare and apply it without suffering the least inconven- ience
 The destruction of the scale by thorough fumigation is more certain than either dipping or spraying, since gas is more penetrating than a liquid, but unfortunately the scope of its applica ability is much limited. Where infested stock can be inclosed in tight box, or rooms in which the deadly gas is generated, it can be con- pletely freed of the scale. The prac- tice of funigating finds its greatest usefulness in the nursery, where in- tested stock can, with little extra la. Dor and slight expense, be carefully fumigated, which, if properly done, will not injure the stock and yet de- stroys every scale present. Fumiga- tion Is also used with success in young orchards where the trees can be cov- cred with tent or box made of heavy cloth, well saturated with oil, which makes 1t practically air tight. Orchards of large bearing trees have been successfully fumigated, but the expense of treating rapidly increases With the size of the trees, and 1t should not be undertaken by the aver age fruit grower in the orchard. He will get better results from fall or spring spraying and run less risk of injuring his trees.
