not prosper if so treated The prun- ing may be done with the hybrid teas, following the hybrid perpetuals. All the strong, healthy canes may be saved unless they are badly crowded. All canes should be shortened one half and two eyes, or buds, left on ever blooming hybrid-te roses which are a cross of the tender tea with the vigorous hybrid perpetual. should be very severely pruned. All weak. thin weed should be entirely removed and the strong canes cut back to very good examples of the pruned 11y- brid rose in the Springfield rose garden at Forest park. All hybrid teas are usually pruned for quality of blossom as explained under the hy- brid perpetuals.
 In pruning all roses. the canes should be cut above an outside eye, that is, bud which faces out so that center of the bush, thus forming a broad, open plant, admitting the sun and air Such plant will also carry more blossoms. Climbing roses, such etc, need little pruning, except the re- mova1 of winter-killed stems, and other weak growths. The laterals should, however, be cut to two eyes. All other roses, including the rugosas, mosses, bourbons, sweetbriers, etc, should be thinned and shaped as de- sired.
 While thorough pruning Is done in the spring. the value of summer prun- ing should not be overlooked Sum mer pruning is necessary if neat shapely plants and good flowers are required. The vigorous stems, suck CTS, etc, may be removed when dis covered, regardless of season. Prun- ing in summer is also practical in all rose gardens where the plants, as specimens and masses, are kept neat and shapely. The removal of dying flowers, leaves and canes should be continued throughout the season, as we'll as occasional thinning.
 Fall pruning is recommended where the growth has been very vigorous and especially where the plants are rot well established as the wind whipping the tall canes will break the back and loosen the roots. We find that fall pruning tends to strengthen the plant and prevent win ter killing. Much of the heavy prun- ing may be done in the fall, saving time in spring when garden work is greatly rushed.

ROSE PRUNING IMPORTANT.
May Be Done in Summer-knowiede dee of Varieties Essential to Success.

Herbert W. Headle, landscape gar dener at Springfield, has prepared the following data on rose culture and pruning:
 At this season, with roses at their best we have the finest opportunity of determining the value of pruning. We may have tried a little pruning different way this spring. In our neighbors' gardens, if not in our own we may find unpruned plants, as well as some fine examples of pruning and perhaps many experiments in the art.
 Pruning roses is a process which requires knowledge of plants in gen. eral and special information concern ing the varieties of roses. The roses of our gardens produce their flowers on the new wood, that is, the wood produced during the spring and sum mer. This growth springs from the crown, the canes Gas in the ramblers) or; from the branches of old wood Of the shrubbery species.
 Well-fed rose plants tend to run to wood, and severe pruning is there fore absolutely necessary to obtain satisfactory results. This is especial ly true of that class known as the vicinity late March is the time to start pruning roses. The bush hy- brid perpetua1s come first. The re- mova1 of all dead, diseased and weak
 
 pruning on any of the plants. If large numbers of blossoms and mass effects are desired, next remove all but four good stems, which may be left 1-2 to feet long. The result will be many small blossoms on short, weak stems, Bushes pruned in this manner often require supports This method in- sures good border and bedding effects but unsatisfactory cut flowers To obtain quality in the blooms how ever, the stems should be cut back to six inches in length, leaving as many as six or eight stems on each plant.
 We found from tests in the Hart ford municipal rose gardens that the hybrid perpetuals, notably the white Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing and others. will, with proper pruning and good care, continue to throw out strong stems or canes, adding one each year. In time, by the more se- were pruning method, a large number of blooms may be produced each one on a strong stem, with fine foliage and most satisfactory as a cut flower.

A NORWICH INTERVIEW
Mrs. Brown Tells Her Experience.

The following brief account of an interview with Q Norwich woman over six years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citi- zen.
 Mrs. Margaret Brown, $40 W. Main Street, says: My back and kidneys were in bad way and I suffered much from a dull, heavy ache in my back. It grew worse gradually until it was almost impossible for me to get out of bed mornings. I was in that con dttion for nearly g. year. trying differ ert medicines without help. Finally I happened to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills and got some at Sevin 6 Sons Drug Store I found them just what needed. They made me feel like a, different woman, better than I had felt for years. My kidneys are now acting regularly and the pains have left" CStatement given July 22, 1e11)

Disposing of male birds which are no longer needed and cull- ing out all unprof1table layers will in- crease receipts per $100 feed cost and 1t is immediately effective. Culling may begin the latter part of June and continue until fall when the best lay CTS will be automatically selected for breeders.

ROSE CHAPTERS DOING DAMAGE.

The rose chafers, or rose bugs" as they are commonly called, are unus- ua1ly numerous this summer and are doing considerable damage shade, fruit trees, shrubbeay and in the veg etable gardens.
 These insects are about one-third of an inch long and dull yellowish green In color. They are easily rec ognized by their spraWly appearance. Their work is not difficult to deter mine, as they skin off the surface of the leaves. leaving a large brown area where the green portions were be- not last but a short time, usually not more than three weeks or Q. month, and they have been present for nearly half of that time already, so they are due to cease their injurious work dur ing the middle or later part of July. They spend the remainder of the year in the ground.
 There are more than hundred diff ferent food plants attacked by rose Chafers, but this year there have been many complaints regarding the in jury they are doing in the gardens on the beans, and also to the peach trees.
 Not only do they do injury to plants, but chickens, ducks and tur- keys eating them are poisoned and die within twenty four hours after filling their crops with these insects Juice from these insects injected into the blood of rabbits caused death in a few minutes, showing tho large amount of poison in the cfafers. Chickens up to ten weeks of age are liable to be poisoned; hence they should be kept from fields with dais- ies, or away from grape vines and

PLANTS NEED FOOD NOW.
Put in Late Garden Stuff-Corn Hills and Rows of Vegetables Should 6e Trimmed,

Now is the time to push the vege- tables along with fertilizer. Gardeners are urged to get every available foot of space planted and to make a final effort to produce the greatest amount of food stuff possible. Rows of late stuff, beets, carrots and cabbage plants, etc. may be planted between rows about to be harvested. Great benefit will be gained from fertilizer applied at this time, as most vege- tables have large root systems de- veloped ready to take up the food Apply the fertilizer along the rows and hoe 1t into the soil. Do not leave it on top.
 In trying to get big returns from the garden, 1t should be borne in mind that the greatest number of plants in the row will not always yield the greatest amount of produce. Corn when grown too close will not pro- duce ears. Turnips, too close, will grow nothing but tops. Have the or four stocks in the hill, and in the drills. have the stocks 10 to 12 inches apart Thin the turnips, before they get too big, to three or four inches apart for small varieties, and six or eight inches for rutabagas. Beets and carrots generally need some thin ming. Distances will depend on the size of roots desired.
 Keep the top soil loosened up. Eff fective work can be done with the hoe after hard rains, as those of the past few days, as at such times it serves the purpose of keeping the moisture in the soil as well as preventing the soil crusting over and baking.

MANURE PITS VERSUS
 COSTLY FERTILIZERS

observation of nitrogen and pot ash by the building of a concrete pit will lessen the need of buying high priced fertilizers this coming spring. Few realize the large amount of plant food that is lost by allowing the stable manure to be thrown out and piled onto the ground. The loss which is experienced through the li- Guids is tremendous. A study of the analysis of these liquids will show the value of the concrete pit when fig ured on the average dairy herd as a basis. The cost of the pit is compar- atively small. One should put in a pit before the cattle are stabled for the winter. The agricultural adviser will be glad to assist anyone in get ting plans.
