Scale insects annually cost the farm
ers, nurserymen, fOriculturists, and
city property owners thousands Of dol
lars. Few trees and shrubs are i'm
mune from their attack The best
known example of scales is the San
Jose scale, which attacks over a hun
dred kinds of plants, and the oyster
she'll scale is found on nearly as many
trees and shrubs. There are MANY
other injurious kinds. A few of the
plants attacked are: Ash, elm, ma
pie, dogwood, willow, gum, poplar,
oak, sycamore, walnut, ox-elder, pine,
beech, Eastwood, blackberry, catalpa.
locust, buckeye, all fruit trees and
many shrubs.
Scales are about as varied in char
acter as the plants they attack. Some
are circular, others resemble very
small oyster shells, some are gray or
black in color and others are white or
reddish, but all are very small, be-
ing about the size of pinhead. Some
times they occur isolated on the twigs,
branches, or leaves, but frequently

PROPER PRUNING OF
BLACKBERRY BUSHES
Very important Factor if Choice
Fruit Is ExpeCted-Pinch
Off the Shoots.

The proper pruning Of the black
berry is very important if choice fruit
is expected. Very few ever go any
further in pruning blackberries than
to cut out the dead canes. The prop
er pruning Of it consists of four dis
t1nct operations. First, remove some
OF the superfluous shoots, in order that
there may not be too many canes to
hill. Second, during the summer the
buds Of the remaining shoots should
be nipped back in order to induce a
stocky growth of the laterals Third
the laterals should be headed back the
following spring. Fourth, all old canes
should be cut out after they have pro-
duced one crop of berries.
AS a general rule, from three to six
shoots to the hill is sufficient. accord
ing to the variety and fertility of the
land. The shoots which are to be re-
moved should be cut out as soon as
they have started growth, so that all
or the food may go into those shoots
to be left to produce canes. AS soon
as the plants reach a height of "a to
70 inches, they should be nipped back
by pinching off the tip of the shoot
or bud. This can be done with the
fingers or with small pair Of prun-
ing shears. 1t is very important that
the shoots be pinched off as soon as
they reach the proper height, rather
than let them grow to greater height
and then cut back. A longer cane is
inclined to bend ov-~ to the ground
unless some support is given.

GLASS OF WATER
Upset Her.

People who don't know about food
should never be allowed to feed per
sons with weak stomachs.
Sometime ago a young woman who
lives in Ne. had an attack of scarlet
fever, and when cOnvalescing was per
mitted to eat anything she wanted
Indiscriminate feeding soon put her
back in bed with severe stomach and
kidney trouble.
There | stayed" she says, three
months, with my stomach in such con-
dition that / could take only few tea
spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at a
time. Finally Grape-NUts was brought
to my attention and l asked my doc
tor if | might eat it. He said, yes
and l commenced at once.
"The food did me good from the
start and was soon out Of bed and re-
covered from the stomach trouble. l

Ey meals. ! can eat anything that
one ought to eat, but I still continue
to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and
supper and like it better every day.
Considering that l could stand only
a short time, and that glass of water
seemed so heavy am fully satisfied
that Grape-Nuts has been everything
to me and that my return to health
Is due to it.
81 have told several friends having
nervous or stomach trouble what
Grape-Nuts did for NE and in every
case they speak highly of the food"

Scissors Always at Hand.

One of those dainty and useful lit
tie articles that would be sure to prove
attractive and sell well il a bazaar or
would make q very acceptable little
gift is shown in our sketch.
To certain extent the size will be
determined by the size of the scissors
that it is destined to contain. For
making it, two pieces Of stiff card
board must be cut in the shape of
heart, one just a trifle smaller than
the other These cards are covered
with silk, and on the front Of the
smaller card loop of satin ribbon,
edged with silk cord, is sewn for hold
ing the scissors. Round the edge a
simple design consisting Of tiny leaves
is embroidered with silk Of various
shades of green. The two cards are
joined together with band Of satin

SURGICAL ATTENTION
REQUIRED BY TREES
Cut Away Loosened, Injured
Bark, and Smooth Up Wound in
Wood-White Lead Good.

If tree has been barked or bruised
Or injured so that the bark is broken,
it should be given surgical attention,
so it will heal quickly and disease
kept from the wound. With a clean
knife cut away the loosened, injured
bark and smooth up the wound in the
wood. If decayed, remove the decay.
1t is wise to disinfect with bordeaux
mixture or corrosive sublimate one
ounce to seven gallons of water. This
is very poison, so do not let any ami
NAL drink it. To keep the insect and
weather out of the wound fill the cav
ity with grating wax, if a small
wound, or with a cement if a large
cavity.
White lead paint is good for cuts or
wounds. Whenever 1t largs limb is re-
moved the stub-which should never
be a stub-should be painted with
white lead.

to CaillOt is still liked the best by
women who dress well, and wherever
the Caillot sisters have departed from
this in their new skirts they have
failed. Many of their skirts, which
have yielded to the supposed demand
for horizontal drapery, are amazingly
commonplace, considering the source
from which they sprang. If one did
not have the assurance of those who
saw these gowns in their original
habitat on the Rue TaitbOut, one
would say that some American de
signer was testing with the public.
All of which may go to prove that a
clothes designer, like an actress, had
far better stick to the role in which
once came success and money.
Many of the best Premet skirts are
also ugly, so, if you are in the habit
Of letting great labels influence your
choice of clothes, be advised that that
can be well disregarded this season.
There has been no adoption in eve
ming skirts to any extent, of the hoops
that keep the drapery out from the
hips, like baskets across a donkey's
back; but there is more of the hip
Grapery on evening skirts than on
street skirts. What one must guard
against is a ragged outline which has
no character to it. Whatever else
you do, sharpen the drapery so that
it appears to be worked out to- a
definite aim and does not give the ap-
pearance of being accidental, and in
cidental to the gown itself In other
words, the drapery should be sharp
and pert, bit rakish and insolent: if
1t doesn't swagger, it is a failure.
The same thing may be said of
sleeves as of skirts; they are in flux.
Today, they reach the wrist; tomor-
row, they may not reach the elbow.
Today, everyone talks of their full
ness; tomorrow they may be Eliza
bethan with an enormous puff at the
shoulders
From a casual glance at the new
sleeves, it would appear that the bal
loon and the bishop sleeves are the
proper ones; and yet, if you look
clearly, with a vision enlarged by
prophecy, you can see a new kind of
sleeve foreshadowed- the one that
flares over the knuckless hugs the arm
within four inches of the top and then
flares into a huge, slashed puff. This
sleeve belongs to Sir Walter Raleigh;
so does that new cartridge plated ruff
made of white organdie, standing out
from the neck, and so does the care
less gay cape flung back from the
shoulders.
