ROUND HEADED
 APPLE TREE RoREnr

Now is the time to look over your apple trees for borers This native pest is one of the most destructive en- emies attacking apple and quince trees The borer itself is yellowish in color about one inch in length, with a dark brown head. They are usually easily detected at the base of the tree in the early spring. Examine, your trees near the ground, and if small holes are found from which sawdustlike drop pings are being thrown, you can rest assured that one of these insects is at work. Trees of all ages and sizes are attacked, and when damaged show a slckly appearance. The borers work mostly in the trunk near the base, but oftentimes are found in the trunk be- low the surface of the ground as well. Borers are among the most difficult insects to control, probably the most practical method. being to cut them out with a sharp knife. or insert a stiff wire into the tunnel until the borer is reached and killed. There are several other methods that often prove valua- ole, such as washing the trunk of the tree three or four times during the summer with kerosene emulsion. Tar red paper wrapped around the tree from the ground to about q foot high
 is also claimed to be good preventive. Care should be used however, to tie
 this paper securely at the top. Fine n1osquita netting may be used in the
 same way.
 Some orchardists make it practice
 carly, in the spring to mound up the
 earth around the base of the trees, the
 idea being that the beetles will lay their eggs higher up. Where they can
 be easily found and dug out Where trees are mounded in this manner car esilould- be taken to remove the earth in the fall.
 Next in effectiveness to cutting the borers out, or impaffng them on a wire probably comes the use of carbon bisulfide. To be effective carbon bisulfide. should be inserted into the tunnel and the hole sealed with putty or mud This prevents the liquid from [ escap ping and as it becomes a gas i, ipenerrates all parts of the tunnel and llills> the borers.-G. M. Codding. En- l>tenlologist Extension Service, Connec- -ticut Agricultural College Storrs -.

to build up in time for the honey flow without help, says Lloyd R. Watson, bee specialist for the extension service of Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs.
 It usually is poor plan, says Mir Watson, to unite two very weak colo nies. They seem to be discouraged and the throwing together dces not go far toward repairing their broken morale It is a better plan to unite weak colo nies to strong. or medium strong ones. Or if the keeper chooses, he may withdraw combs of sealed brood and adhering bees (being sure not to get the queen) from some strong colony and give them to tho weak one.
 During the months of April and May in Connecticut it will usually be best not to withdraw more than one comb of brood from a colony at one time. Likewise, it is usually safer not to give .nore than one comb of brood and strange bees to a weak colony at one time else the strange bees being so much in the majority might attack the weaker bees and kill them, queen and all.
 Any tendency to fight should be broken up by a liberal use fo smoke.

HIGH GRADE APPLES s IF
 RESULT OF SPRAYING

| All apples sold high this year, and the quality fruit, whether grown in the east or in the west. brought
 prices which were attractive. But
 these quality apples come from skill
 ful care not from accident, and any
 farmer who wants to realize more
 than the average price must carry out
 a weH-defned programme Of pruning,
 spraying and cultivation.
 At this time Of year spraying is the
 all important question. The time for
 putting on the dormant spray is past, but the time for, the second spray is
 near at hand. With warm weather it
 will come quickly. The time for this
 second spraying varies accordings to
 the weather, but ewhen a majority of
 the trees in an orchard begin to show
 color in the buds it is time. to begin.
 It will be most effective if it. is ap
 piled when tie flower buds have sep
 arated slightly, so as to allow the spraying materials to reach all parts of the buds.
 This second Spraying is highly inn
 portant ill bearing orchards, as it is one of the important measures which determine the quality and fairness of the. fruit this year. Already the aphis eggs have about all matched out and , the young are sucking the juices from the tender leaves and flower buds. The red bug, another sucking insect. is al so becoming a serious pest in some sections and several leaf eating in sects have become active. The fungus disease which causes scabby apples starts at this time, and the second 1 sprayi is one of the important con- 1 troi measures
 The best spray mixture for use at 1 this time is a combination Of conmer- cial lime sulphur one gallon, 40 per cent. nicotine, sulphate one-half pint, arsenate of lead paste, three pounds,
 or powder 1 1-2 pounds. with 50 gall 1 Ions of water. This spray is recom- mended for summer use and is much 1 weaker than that used for the first 1 spraying. It should be thoroughly agitated during the spraying or it will settle and the stronger solution from i the bottom of the tank will burn the
 foliage. If delayed too long the sec
 ond spray will injure the blossoms.
 | The efficiency of this spraying de- bends more than in any other on the
 thoroughness with which it is done. 1 The aphis and red bug are sucking in sects and stomach poisons have no ef- | fect on them. They are killed by com ! ing in direct contact with the tobacco extract in the spray mixture. In order | to be effective the spray must be so
 handled as to hit every louse on the 1 tree.- Otherwise the. job will have to | be done over again a, little later when ] the opened leaves Killes make an ef- Elective spraying almost impossible. In handling this spray care, should be 1 taken not to leave anyfin the tank or
 sprayer over night Ut is injurious to
 the metal parts Of the pump.

TO CONTROL cUTWoRMs.

One of the most disc6uraging things to the gardener is to find his young plants cut off close to the surface Of the ground by an insect that has done its work. during the night, has sucked some juice from each, and hidden away again to repeat the operation. This is done by a, number of related species Of insects, many of which feed mostly On grasses, but when the field in which they are located is cultivated they attack the new crop in absence of their natural food If one will dig a few inches into the ground, close to one of the plants that has been cut, he may find the caterpillar that has caused the damage lying curled up, avoiding the light of day.
 Prof. G. H. Lamscn, entomologist at Connecticut Agricultural college, Storrs offers the following suggestions .ffoT control of cutworils:
 If one has only a few plants. these may be protected by wrapping the stems with paper s IutWCrI1aG may be trapped by placing -en the ground small pieces of board under when the cutW orms will crawl U Ei3e during the day. They can then ac hunted and killed.
 In tarse gardens and fields the most s2tist2 cloly remedy is poisoned swcc.eUed bran mash which may be
 }f I32-etl aa follows: Wheat bran lbs. pst'f5 green or white arsenic oz lem on ] fruit. cheap molasses 1 pint, wa ter pints.
 Mix the bran and poison together when dIy. Squeeze the juice from the | lemon and cut the pulp and grind in small pieces. Mix with the molasses and water and add to the bran and poison, all of which should be stirred to mix thoroughly. Apply by scatter ing broadcast in the late afternoon, SC that the cutWorms may feed upon the bait before it becomes dry. If it is feared that poultry CT birds will eat this bait. the mash may be scattered over the field. spoonful in a place each in slight depression and covered with a small board

KEEPING LITTLE PIGS
 GROWING FAST PAYS

The fastest and cheapest gains by pigs are made before weaning time, so ordinarily it will pay to keep the small pig growing as rapidly as pos- sible. The SOW should. of course. get some good milk producing feed, and she should be fed to her full capacity as soon as. the pigs are old enough to take all the milk she will give. II will net pay to limit the feed at this time, since the5pigs make the most economical gains from feed fed through the SOW. When the pigs are about month old they will. be able to use more feed than that obtained from the sow even though the sow is properly fed. and a good nlilker. As soon as the pigs will eat which is us u&lIy at four or five weeks of age. they should be fed; separately frcai their derfs.;: s 11144teE should have acccs&' to 8 small pen where the tow cannot go. to receive their> feed.

EXTRA LONG WEAR
 FROM SHOES

T. D. Collins of Ookala, Hawaii. makes a remarkable statement which demonstrates the rloney-saving dllra- bility of Ne5lin Soles.
 He writes, After wearing a rair of Neolin-soled shoes off and on for thirty-three months. I wore them on a trip to the volcano of kilauea and walked around the crater over hot lava six times and still the soles showed only slight signs of wear
 This experience is not accidental. It results from the scientific process by which Neoiin Soles are made to be exactly what soles should be-corn- fortable,., waterproof and exceedingly economical because of the long wear they give. -

TREATMENT OF SEED POTATOES.

Many inquiries come to the league office regarding the treatment of seed potatoes. There arc two methods of treatment, one with corrosive subli- mate and the other with formalde- hyde. The second is effective except ing for the protection against black scurf orphizoctonia. This disease caused severe losses last year and may be serious this year. The formal dehyde treatment is considerably cheaper and it is not so dangerous a poison. It may be used in the pro- portion of one pint of formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water. The corrosive sublimate solution is four ounces to 30 gallons of water. This solution grows weaker with use and cannot be used repeatedly like the formaldehyde solution. Whatever the treatment the potatoes should be spread out to dry thoroughly and then stored in clean containers. The treatment can he done at any time before cutting the pota . toes,

TOP DRESSING FOR GRASS LAND

Grass land should be stimulated with top dressing of nitrate of soda and other fertilizers if it is to produce it's maximum crop this season While fertilizers are high in price. the use of a reasonable amount of them is good economy as they will afford the proper stimulation to bring a good hay crop. Nitrate of soda is the most i'm portant factor in bringing this in crease. From 100 to 150 pounds per acre will be right. A combination of l25 pounds of nitrate of soda. 50 pounds of tankage and 75 pounds of acid phosphate will prove good one. It should be put on the grass when it is thoroughly dry. If scattered when there is q dew the chemicals will stick to the grass blades and burn them. When dry the fertilizer falls to the ground and is dissolved

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

fed in a shallow pan is very good for them. The pigs may also be taught to run in to the creep for feed by all lowing them some skelled or ear corn. As soon as they begin to eat we'll a slop of milk. some shorts, little bran and some linseed oil meal or tankage, fed along with the corn. will make a ration which. with. proper exercise, will prevent thumps or SCOUTS. A good ration for young pigs is made up of four parts by weight of corn, four parts of shorts. one part of bran and one part of tankage. As the pigs grow older the corn may be gradually increased until the amount has been doubled. In addition to proper feed. however, the pigs must have plenty of sunshine and exercise. These things cost little to supply and are absolute ly necessary for best results.
