TO ERADICATE INSECT PESTS
Thrifty Trees Are Much Less Subject
to Attack Than Those in Weak
ened Condition.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuture.J
Unthrifty trees and vines and other
plants are thought to be more sub
ject to the attack of certain insects
than plants in healthy condition.
Weakened trees are frequently killed
by wondering insects which do not
attack trees growing vigorously. Such
trees sometimes can be saved by
prompt stimulation with a heterogeneous
fertilizer, as nitrate of soda, stable
manure, etc. This treatment, in con-
nection with severe pruning and ade
quate cultivation, especially in the
case of stone fruits, often will result
in their marked Improvement.
Many fruit-inseCt pests which pass
part of their life in the soil, such as
the plum curculio, cankerworms,
grape rOOtwOrm, etc, can be materi-
ally reduced in numbers by thorough
cultivation, as is necessary in best or
chard practice. When these insects
are in the pupa stage in the soil they
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1918-03-28

are very susceptible to injury, and
thorough cultivation causes many Of
them to Succumb.
In the course of thinning fruit, in
order to insure larger size and better
quality, much can be done to reduce
the numbers of certain insect pests, as
the codling moth and curculio, if the
infested fruit be searched for and re-
moved from the trees and promptly
destroyed by feeding hogs. or other
wise. Special care should also be
given to thinning to remove as far as
possible fruits showing blemishes of
various kinds, as from injury by
aphids, plant bugs, etc, thus giving
the sound fruit better chance.

BEST SOIL FOR STRAWBERRY
Slight Deficiency of Moisture Supply
Seriously Affects Size and Quail
ity of Berries.

CFrom the United States Department of
Agricuture.)
Growers of the Progressive and
Americas varieties of everbearing
strawberries agree that a more fertile
soil is required for them than for the
ordinary sorts. The berries of both
of these varieties are rather small, and
q fertile soil ;s needed to increase their
size. Another reason for their need
of fertile soil is that all the ever
bearers require a larger supply of
moisture than do the sorts which pro-
duce only plants after the early-sum-
mer crop of fruit. A slight deficiency
in the moisture supply seriously af-
fects the size and quality of the ber-
ries, but does not noticeably affect
plants producing runners only. A soil
claSSed as very fertile contains a large
amount of humus, and one impOrtaNt
effect of a large humus supply is to
increase the moisture holding capacity
of the soil. Any SOIL therefore, con-
tanning large amounts of humus, or to
which humus has been added by turn
ing under green-manure crops or by
the application of stable manure, will
be better able to supply sufficient mois-
ture, and one especially well supplied
with humus should be selected
The Superb and other Varieties hay
ing similar characteristics, however,
should be grown on a soil which is
rather low in nitrogen. In soils that
are too RICH varieties of the Superb
type bear a good crop in the early
summer and then make rank growth
of leaves and runners throughout the
rest of the growing season, just as do
the ordinary early-summer sorts. I'm
der such conditions little fruit will be
secured in the summer and autumn.

Muskrat a Clean Feeder.

People who are prejudiced against
eating muskrats should know, in the
first place, that these animals are not
rats at all, writes Rene Bache in the
Chicago Examiner. They are aquatic
creatures. as big as small cat, and
feed on clean water plants.
Muskrats are found over most of
North America. They build winter
houses of the roots and stems of wa.
ter plants, which are usually heaped
on the bottom of a shallow pond until
the domelike top rises two or three
feet above the surface.
For the table they are game worthy
of the epicure, with flavor somewhat
resembling that of wild duck. BY some
it is likened to the terrapin. The flesh
is dark red in color, fne-grained and
tender.

1t struck Grace like thunderbolt
out of a clear sky. Bill was the only
man she had ever cared for-the only
one she ever could care for, she told
herself; and she no doubt was right,
for she was not the fickle-minded kind.
Two weeks later, after waiting in
vain for letter, she went to bed, on
the verge of serious Illness. The physi-
clan said it was nervousness, melan-
choly or dyspepsia. She would be all
right in a short time, he gave assur-
ance. AS matter of fact, broken
heart was all that allied her, and for
that there is only one cure-mending
by the breaker.
When Grace grew thinner and lost
her appetite altogether, the physician
admitted he was puzzled and advised

puzzled, they knew just what was
wrong, but agreed that a change of

had been overjoyed when Bill left
town, confident that Grace soon would
forget him and become interested in
"some nice young man." but now that
affairs had taken a critical turn they
would have consented to send Bill the
money to come back, only there was no
clue to his whereabouts.
Mr.. Winton could not afford to leave
his grocery, so his wife packed two
trunks and four suitcases and left with
Grace for Sandy Creek, a mining town
high In the Colorado Rockies. Sandy
Creek was selected because Mrs. Win
ton had n brother who had struck a
mine out there and also because the
physician had advised "roughing It,"
One evening, month later, there
was unusual excitement In Sandy
Creeks Poison PHI saloon. Doctor
Borden, more noted for adeptness at
poker than at medicine, was playing q
"champeen match" with King Spades
the young gambler who had "blew in
recently and became famous over
night by trimming Hank Hummer

Sometimes the best kind Of girl
will care whole lot for a man who
doesn't amount to much.
Such girl was Grace WintOn. Such
young man was Bill Blake. Not much
romantic about those names, you will
say, but-well, they had their little
romance.
1t started when they were in high
school, and it continued after Grace
was graduated and Bill was notified
his presence was no longer required
just because he stole the clapper from
the bell, stacked all the students
books in one corner of the assembly
room, beat the physical geography
teacher so that he was obliged to spend
three days in bed and performed sun
dry other pranks not included in the
school curriculum.
Upon graduation Grace took up
teaching music and upon quotation
Bill took up playing pool. While he
was able, because of his skill, to keep
himself clothed and fed, his business
was not such as to warrant venture
iE matrimony; and, moreover, Grace's
parents objected strenuously to having
their daughter marry man who didn't
even pretend to work and was shift
less gOOd-fOr-nothing."
However, Grace managed to see Bill
occasionally and they continued to plan
what would happen when he made
good" This couldn't last long, because
Ellsworth was small town and soon
Grace's friends began to sneer at her
for encouraging man who didn't
have a job and didn't want one"
Now Bill, despite his shortcomings,
had good deal of affection for Grace,
and when he heard some Of this talk
he took an inventory of himself, look
ed the future squarely In the face, and
decided Grace was too good for MIN.
Shortly thereafter he boarded a train
and vanished, leaving a note in the
post office for Grace. The note said:
"Good-by. Grace. I'm leaving for
