HARM BY BLACKBERRY BORER
Spraying Is of No Avaii-Cutting ane
Burning at Time of Regular
Pruning Is Favored.

The blackberry cane borer has beer
seriously troublesome in many parts OF
the country recently, killing the canes
and thus running the chances of the
crop. No spraying is of any use, but
l find cutting and burning does the
trick, says a writer in an exchange
There are two ways of doing thi:
work. One is to look for, cut off anC
burn all the swelled parts of the black
berry canes at the time of the regu'
lar winter or early spring pruning
There is no miStaking these SWellingS
because they are fully double the di
ameter of the cane itself. 1t is not
necessary to bother with the whole
cane-just the Sweiled part with an
inch or two above or below the swell
ing. The cut pieces may be easily
carried in i basket.
Where q very serious attack has
occurred, and where other blackberries
are growing in the neighbOrhood, ]
have found it Il good plan to cut off
all the young shoots produced before
the end of June, so as to destroy the
young grubS in them. By that time
all the adult beetles will have died.
SO the canes produced during July will
be free from the borers. There is nc
use saving "galled" cane, for it can't
produce decent stand of berries. The
sooner it is burned the better. 1t is
not necessary to burn the green shoots
because the borers, being fOotless, can.
not crawl to new canes, and are also
unable to live on dead wood.

keepinu on the Sheets.

Keeping baby well covered in his crib
throughout the winter nights is a prob
lem that is the despair of many par
ents. He will cast the coverings from
him, and the ordinary metal clasps de-
signed to prevent it usually rust to
pieces through being chewcd or are
eaten outright in a couple of weeks.
The ideal method is to fasten the COW
err firmly at the foot of the bed and at
tach strong cables to the two upper
corners of the cover. These cables are
in turn attached to the tails of two
elephants, who stand at the head OF
the bed, pointing away from it. Just
n couple of inches beyond reach Of
the trunk of each elephant stands a
parent with a red apple. The elephants
stand throughout the night straining
forward to get the apples, pulling the
cables taut and keeping the covers
drawn tight over the baby.-New YORK.

Mark Twain as a Samaritan.

Here is 4 new Mark Twain story that
sounds as if it actually might have
happened.
1t dates back to the period when
Mark was living in Hartford, on the
next block from Harriet Beecher Stowe
and her husband, Professor Stowe.
One cold and blustery winter morn
ing, after an unusually heavy SNOW
storm, neighbor, meeting Mark on
the street, slowly blowing his way
through the drifts, with cOrncob pipe
i'll his mouth and snow shovel over
his shoulder, asked him where he was
bound.
"Oh, just around the block-an err
rand of mercy" drawled Mark, remOv-
ing the pipe from between his teeth
and pointing over his shoulder with
the stem of it. Mrs. Stowe has just
telephoned me that Professor Stowe is
under the weather this morning, and
Pm on my way around there to shovel
him out."-New York Times.

walls Of two weeks. On badly infested
beds after the crop is off, NOW every
thing down and let it dry and burn off
when there is q brisk wind and follow
with q spraying.

Didn't Want 1t.

The MacTavish was not mean man.
No; he just knew the value Of three
pence-halfpenny.
So when the MacTavish developed a
sore throat he meditated fearfully upon
the expenditure of a doctors fee. AS
an alternative he hung about for a day
and a half outside the local doctors
establishment. Finally he managed
to catch the great man.
''Say, doctor. hoO's beezness WI We
the nOo?"
'Oh, feyr, feyr"
"Ah spose we've a deal O prescribin'

"Ay-
An what dae ye gin'raIly gle fer q

doctor. II dinna wait sair throat"

Robert W. Chambers, he novelist, is

His New York house contains many.
beautiful old Chinese vases. and his

At dinner in Newport Mr. Cham

asked him to admire her Chinese Cir

Its superb girdle,'' he said, "and
the motto embroidered on it is superb,
too-superb, but rather unusual for a

Lies Level Plain.

1 would not live upon lifes towering hills,
A beacon to be seen by whose wills,
Where all the winds of hate blow swift
and strong,
Too far from men to see their hurts and
ills.
Nor would 1 dwell in valleys where the
tide
OF life shall rise about on every side,
Where / must struggle lest I too be
swept
From my safe footing by it's waters wide
But let me dwell upon the open plain,
Where l can see suns rise, moons wax
and Wane,
Where wide brown roads wind by and
travellers pass
With cheerful greetings, without thought
of gain.
Here let me live and unveXed let me die,
Friendly to all who speak in passing by,
Ready to give what each one may re-
quire,
Smiles to the happy, to the sad sigh.
-Ninette M. Lowater.

AFTER THE PRUNING is DONE
Carefully Gather Up and Burn All
Branches and Twigs - Cover
Wounds to Prevent Decay.

1t is best, after the pruning opera
ions are over, to:
l. Gather up and remove from the
orchard all branches and twigs that
have been cut off. Burn them. They
afford homes for the diseases and the
insects that will attack your trees if
the rubbish is left on the ground.
2. Cover the wounds with q coat of
good lead paint. This helps to keep
out the water and prevent disease and
decay.
3. Spray the trees with a solution of
one gallon commercial lime-sulphur to
nine gallons of water. Spraying just
after pruning reduces the cost of ap-
plying the material, as there is less
brush to cover than at other times.
Moreover, it is just the right season
for the lime-sulphur spray.
