CONTROL PEACH TREE BoRER.
Destructive Larvae Must Be Dug Out

of Bark Twice Year.
The peach tree borer is one of the
most destructive pests with which
peach growers all over the United
States have to contend. If allowed to
work unchecked the borers soon de-
stroy entire orchards. The only prac-
tical way of combating the pest is to
go over the trees twice a year. digging
out the borers. killing them and treat
ing the injured places in the trees.
This entails much work. but is the
only certain method of saving the or
chard. One of the biggest peach grow
ers in the east, discussing the borer
and methods of Graduating the pest,
says:
THE larvae live between the bark
and wood a little below the surface of
the ground in a mass of gum and
woody material. 1t Is a soft whitish
caterpillar with a reddish-brow head.
The egg from which this matches is
laid on the trunk of the tree at or
near the surface of the ground by

causing a gummy emulation. They
feed in this way for about year. often
almost girdling a large root OF the
tree.
when the larvae are full grown
they construct cocoons of the gummy
oxidation, their casting and silk, about
an inch below the surface of the
ground. where about three or four
weeks later they change to moths AL
though there Is but one generation in
season. the moths are present most
of the summer. The larvae reach ma
turity at different times. thus keeping
up almost a constant supply Of adults.
THE most satisfactory method of
control has been to go over the trees
and dig out all the larvae once in the
spring and again in early fall. Their
presence IL easily detected by the
gummy oxidation on the crown and

This explains why those who would
succeed in dairying must provide barns
that will keep the cows comfortable
even in cold weather. These barns
need not be of the expensive kind, al
though a modern barn Is a great con-
venience in handling dairy cows. Prop
er shelter can be supplied even by so
principal point is that the COW must
be made comfortable or the results in
milk production will be unsatisfactory.

Steer feeders have found out through
experience that the steer on full feed
prefers the open yard or open shed to
the warm stable. This Is because the
steer is covered with a heat holding

more comfortable when not SO shelter

The milk COW. however, stands in
strong contrast to the fattening steer.
The beginner in dairying may not ap-
preciate the fact that proper shelter
in cold weather Is of the greatest i'm
portance to the milk COW. There is
nothing that will so quickly cut down
the flow of milk as exposure to cold
and stormy weather. 1t not only cuts
down the milk flow. but it is heavy
drain on the vitality Of the cattle.

The following poisoned wash has

dissolved in one pint Of cold water.
Boil this mixture until 1t becomes a
clear paste. Add one ounce of glycerin
and stir thoroughly. When sufficiently
cool apply to the trunks of trees with

bark will be killed before the tree Is

feed applies to chicks Matched on the
place: those that are shipped in are fed
as soon as placed in the brooder, as
they have been Matched from forty
eight to seventy-two hours: they are
given chick size grit and as much oat
meal as they will clean up quickly.
Previous to placing the chicks in the
brooder an inch Of sandy gravel is
placed on the floor of the brooder, and
on top of this a litter of cut alfalfa

are fed five times a day Goat meal, as

oat meal feed. Do not give them cold
