Wise Forethought

The careful business man con- serves his income and anticipates cer- tain pay ments by deDositing his money with a strong, safe bank: and when taxes, insurance, special as- sessments, payments on real estate, etc, fall due, he writes a check for the amount.
 Regular deposits, small, perhaps, make these payments easy and cer tain. The cancelled check, returned by the bank, affords the lest legal re- ceipt. The transaction is closed in convenient, business-like way.
 Your savings account is also so1i,- 1ted. We pay 4 per cent. interest. and we pay your taxes on mcnev left in our Savings Department.

PREVENT INTRODUCTION
OF WEEDS ON YOUR FARM

Now is the time to kill weeds. Some
OF tho disadvantages and dangers Of
weeds may he summed UP as follows:
|. They rob cultivated plants of nu-
triment.
.. They injurc crops by crowding and
shading.
3. They retard the work OF harvest
ing grain by increasing the draft and
ny extra wear of machinery (bindw eed,
thisties, red roD.
4. They retard the drying OF grain
and hay.
). They increase the labor of thrcsh-
ing and make cleaning Of seed diff
fult.
6. They damage the quality Of -four,
sometimes making II nearly worthless.
I. Most OF them are OF little value
as food for domestic animals
s. Some weeds injure stock by means
of barbed awns (squirrcl-tail grass wild
oats, porcupine srass).
.. Some OF them inturc wool and dis
figure the tails OF cattle. the names and
tails of horses (burdock, cocklebur,
houndstongue).
stomachs Of horses (rnbhit-foot clover,
crimson clovcr).
II. Some injure the quality of dairy
products docks. wild onions)
IL. Penny cress, and probably others,
when eaten by animals. injure the taste
OF meat.

they push out in the spring. The tiny

derside of the leaves into the interior.
where they lay their eggs. This causes
the small, pimple-like gals on the
upper surface of the leaves. The spots
later increase in size. sometimes to
one eighth OF an inch, and on the pear
tree are red and often brilliantly col
ored as they grow. In the case of the
apple, the cruptions lack the more bril-
liant coloring, and are found more
along the margin of the leaf. In both
cases the spots finally turn brown
black, and If the pest is abundant the
leaves become ruptured and wrinkled.
More than $50 varieties of apples
are attacked by the mite. injury being
commercial sorts. such as the Ben
Davis, the King. Baldwin. Rhode Island
Grcening and tho Williams Favorite.

tested, rs has been noted in New York
State, lime-sulphur washes give excel

effects upon fruit buds which sometime
result from the use of oil sprays. The

\ standard solution or the kerosene
emulsion may also be used. The stock
solution should be diluted with five
parts of water for spraying purposes.
one application should be given in the
late fall, as soon as most of the leaves
have fallen. and another in tho follow
ing spring, before the trees put out
foliage. If il is possible to give only
one treatment. the sprays should be
used in the fall AT this time many
Of the mites have not yet gone to the
bud scales, but occur In the down COW
ering of young wood, and hence are
more easily killed.
Lime sulphur washes are excellent
treatments for these mites, and their
employment is perhaps preferable as
avoiding danger of injury to fruit buds
by the oil sprays. II lime sulphur
wash is employed. it should be applied
completely coated, so that when spray

pruning these off and burning them.
or sprays may be employed exactly as
indicated for the apple. If this is con-
Sidered necessary.
Except in cases OF serious infcsta- =
ton special spraying for the blister
mite will not be necessary. AS to
whether or not it is advisable to spray.
the orchardsts will have to decide
after determining as exactly as is pos

done by the mites. and care should he
taken not to confound with its in

from leaf-spoI disease.

GOOSE RAISING MAY BE
MADE VERY PROFITABLE

AS a general rule. Virginia farm
ers have never taken much to goose
raising, and yet this industry may bc
made profitable on hundreds of farms
in this State.
The Toulouse and Emdcn are tho
most popular breeds of geese in this
country. The Toulouse is the largest
breed. the adult gander and GOOSE
weighing Twenty-Five and twenty
pounds, respectively. while the stand
ard weights of the Emdcn are twenty
and eighteen pounds
Geese can he raised in small num-
hcrs successfully and at n profit on
many farms where there is low. rough
pasture land containing natural sup
ply of water. The market for geese is
not so general as for chickens. but the
demand and prices arc especially good

conducted
Geese need only n house during cold
or stormy weather. when an open shed

Gander is usually somewhat larger and
coarser than the goose. and has a lean
er, longer neck, and a larger head. The
sex is sometimes determined by a criti-
cal examination or by the action of the
geese AT mating time.
Large boxes. barrels. or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
arc allowed to make nests on the floor
of the house. The eggs should be coll
lected daily and kept in a cool place

THE LEAF-BLISTER MITE
ON PEAR AND APPLE TREES

Red or green blister-like spots APP
pearinE In the spring on the foliage of
the apple and pear are usually due to
the leaf-blister mite. This is not an
insect, but small animal, invisible to
the unaided eye, which attacks stand
ard varieties of pear and apple trees.
and often inficts serious damage.
Where trees are seriously infested, the
premature fall OF both fruit and leaves
may result In such cases special
application of lime-sulphur wash or
other spray may be necessary. Ordi-
narily. however, the regular orchard
spraying is sufficient to control the
mite. Badly-infested branches of the
pear trees may be cut off and burned.
Care should he taken not to confuse
the work of the mite with the leaf
spot disease or the results of heavy
spraying.
The leaf-blister mite passes the win
ter beneath the bud scales. There it
