INJURY BY THE PEAR PSYLLA
Little Larvae or Nymphs Suck Juices
From Young Leaves and Twigs
Crop Is Lessened.

lFrom the New York Agricultural LIZ
pertinent Station, Geneva, N. "
The presence of the psylla in In
furious numbers upon tree is usual
ly indicated by an abundance of a
waterish, sticky liquid, called honey
dew, which may be first detected dur
ing the latter part of May or early in
June at the axis of the leaves and
fruits. This liquid later becomes COW
cred with black mold, which gives
the trees a blackish unsightly appear
ance. Certain ants and flies are very
fond of the honey dew, and are often
attracted by it in numbers to infested
trees. The presence Of these insects
upon pear tree should arouse the
suspicious of a careful, observing or
chardist.
The adult psylla is an active four
winged insect, measuring about one
tenth of an inch in length. They ap-
pear early in the spring and deposit
their eggs in protected places in the
bark. The eggs hatch in few days
and the little larvae or nymphs at
once commence to suck the juices
from the young leaves and twigs. A
favorite place for the young nymphs

ding is inserted in them it is nailed
in position through holes in the sides
of the socket.
The walls of good stable are made
in several different ways. They are
generally made double, the siding be-
ing placed on the outside of the studs
and plastered wall or one Of
matched boards placed on the inside.
AS smooth finish should be secured
as is possible.
A dressed and matched flooring
should also be placed for the floor of
the hay NOW, 80 as to prevent chaff
and dust from falling down on the
COWS.
Very often the walls and ceilings
of barns are painted with white lead
in three coats. This finish shows the
dirt and will be an incentive to keep
the barn clean md as attractive in
appearance as possible. The white
finish, with its rejecting power, will
also help considerably in giving a
brightly lighted interior, which is a
good feature.
The partitions between the COW
stalls are made of iron, finished with
hard, smooth japan that is burned
into the surface. The advantage Of
COW stalls of this kind is that the
amount Of surface to be cleaned is
reduced to the smallest possible
amount consistent with the maintain
ing Of partitions between the vari-
Gus stalls. The smooth surface also
affords small opportunity for unsani-
tary conditions.
The whole arrangement of the mod
ern barn has been worked out so as
to make the cleaning as easy as pos
sible.
In as small barn as this, ventilat.
ing system is very often not consid-
| cred necessary, and the windows and
doors are depended upon for this re-
suit. The matter Of the advisability
of a system is question that should
| be decided by the owner. If one is
| installed, intake flues should be pro-
vided on each side of the barn, which
discharge over the heads of the cows,
and the outtake f1ues can be provided
behind the cows.
The stall partitions and the man.
gers in the part of the barn devoted
to horses are often made of wood.
While iron construction in this part
of the stable will add to the value of
the stable, wood will give very good
results and can be kept in good con-
dition much easier than in the stalls
that are used for cows.
The floor of the horse stalls should
be made Of some material such as
cork brick or treated wood block, as

Pear Psylla.

is in the axis of the leaves and at
the base of the fruit stems. Within
two or three days after Matching they
cover themselves with honey dew
which finally becomes SO abundant as
to disfigure leaves and fruits. The
whole tree assumes a stunted, I'm.
healthy appearance. AS result the
fruit crop is greatly lessened and in
some cases trees have been killed.
The young nymphs are most easily
reached when the leaves are unfolding
in the spring. AS soon as found spray
the trees thoroughly with kerosene
emulsion, diluted with about ten parts
of water or with solution of whale
oil soap, one pound to four or six gal
Ions of water, or with nicotine prep
aration easily made. The secret
of success in fighting this insect is
early and thorough spraying. 1t may
be necessary to make two or three
applications at intervals Of three or
four days to successfully control the
pest.

siderable success both in small and
large barns consists of large truck
that is wheeled about the concrete
floor Many people insist that the
1iexilility Of this method of feeding
makes it more desirable than the car
rier on the overhead track for install
lations of all sizes.
The construction of this barn starts
with a concrete foundation that is ex-
tended above grade about eighteen
inches. This wall, which extends en-
tirely around the barn, is carried
down below the frost line and with
the concrete floor effectively protects
the barn against dampness and also
eliminates rodents and vermin. If
the wall Of concrete is carried up
above the concrete floor it is easier to
keep the barn clean, as the floor can
be washed down with hose and the

USING CONCRETE FOR FILLING
II Properly Mixed and Put in With
Extreme Care 1t VIII Be Found
Most Satisfactory.

For filling cavities in trees concrete
is commonly used. If properly mixed
and put in with extreme care it is
very satisfactory, but it is unyielding
and if cracked by any means it is not
easily removed. A more pliable fill
ing is made of one part asphaltum to
three to four parts sawdust.
Moisten the tools in crude oil. Stir
the sawdust into the hot asphaltum
until the desired consistency is
reached. Distribute the sawdust, as
added, evenly over the surface of the
vessel to avoid boiling over. Apply
to the cavities while still hot. They
should be cleaned of all decayed wood
and disinfected with blue vitriol (cop-
per sulphate) before filling.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
ditlon, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be Respondent and
irritable.

Painless Dentistry.

dentist:

pain?"

CARE FOR THE BLACKBERRY
Crop Is Profitable If Rust Does Not
Attack Canes-They Must Be
Well Cultivated.

Blackberries are profitable If rust
does not attack the canes. There
seems to be no cure for rust. Set the
plants 4 by 6 and give deep culture.
Blackberries do best on a lightish
and rather sandy soil. They must be
planted in rows and kept we'll cult
waited.
The pruning Of the blackberry is diff
ferent from that of most other small
fruits. If you cut back the canes
severely you are likely to remove q
large portion of the. seasons crop. But
you can thin out the shoots where they
are numerous, and cut out the dead
shoots.

CONTROL SMALL BROWN SLUG
Insect Defoliates Pear, Plum and
Cherry Trees-second Spraying
Sometimes Necessary.

The little brown slug that defoliates
the pear, plum and cherry trees dur
ing the summer season is one of the
easiest of our insects to control.
No one need allow this insect to do
any serious harm to his trees, If he
will thoroughly use the remedy here
given. Steep two ounces Of fresh
white hellebore in one gallon of water,
and use as a spray when the slugs are
first seen.

Floor Plan of Barn.

walls close to the floor, being Of con-
crete, are not affected by the water.
The sanitary condition of the barn is
therefore much improved.
The connection between the founda-
ton walls and the barn frame must
be very carefully made so that no
draft can get through. Mortar
should be plastered up around the
stills and up to the siding, and very
often studding sockets are used in
place Of the stills. In many cases stills
rot soon, and more permanent type
of construction is secured by the use
of studding sockets. These are i'm
