should by all means sterilize and
cover the wounds. Wood which is
more than three years old is easily
infected and should be covered. 1t is
good plan to cover all cuts larger
than a dime. Illinois canker can find
entrance into healthy trees only
through wounds of this kind. Prun-
ing wounds offer the best source of
infection. The disease spreads in
pruning by bits of sawdust which
cling to the tools, by the wind which
carries the spores from diseased
trees to pruning wounds, by birds,
rodents, and in fact everything which
may come in contact with spore-
bearing cankers.
"a good sterilizer for pruning
wounds is a concentrated solution of
copper sulphate which can be put on
by a brush or sponge. BY concen-
trated solution we mean all that will
dissolve in cold water. Mercuric
chloride, one part to 1000 parts of
water, is also good. Pruning tools
should be disinfected where cuts are
made through diseased wood. A good
disinfectant for pruning tools is one
part carbolic acid to 500 parts of
kerosene. Either copper sulphate or
mercuric chloride will corrode tools,
and should not be used.
peaches should not be pruned I'M
til after freezing weather, if time
can be had to do it then. In any
case where peaches are heavily cut
back the heavy cutting should not
be done until after freezing weather
is over. A great deal of injury will
result where heavy pruning is done
on peaches and freezing weather
comes on afterward."

LARGE APPLE ORCHARDS
SHOULD BE PRUNED NOW

Owners of large apple orchards
should begin to prune their orchards
now, is the advice of j. R. Cooper,
head of the horticultural department,
University of Arkansas Where there
are large orchards and great deal
of pruning to do, pruning must be-
gin as soon as possible after the
leaves fall.
'When the owner has only a small
number of trees, pruning before cold
weather is over is not advised" Mr..
Cooper says. Pruning wounds heal
more readily when made from the
first of March to the first of June.
When pruning is done at that time
we avoid what is commonly known
as die-back or cambium injury
around the edges of the wound. But
where we have large orchards we
can not wait until spring, and since,
in many cases, it must be done be-
fire warm weather in the spring, it
would be better to do it now than to
wait until freezing weather.
Pruning should consist of thin
ming out small branches evenly all
over the top. 1t is mistake to shin
gle back or go over the tree cutting
back new wood. Wherever cut is
made it should be close to the trunk
or main limb from which branch is
severed, and the cut should be made
parallel to this main limb. In every
instance branch or limb must be
left to heal the wound. Stubs or
branches cut off some distance away
from the point of union with another
part of the tree will not heal readily
and usually become infested with dis
ease.
Heavy pruning should be avoided.
1t is mistake to remove large limbs,
especially from varieties like Ben
Davis. When bearing tree is pruned
too heavily it is liable to be thrown
out of bearing for time. The re-
moval of large limb makes hole
in the side of the tree, which if on
the south side, will permit sun scald,
which will be followed by bores and
blister canker. If the tree is to be
helped much, the remainder of the

Has Found q Sure
Way of Avoiding
ChiLLs and Ague
TAKES SWAMP CHILL AND
FEVER TONIC BEFORE DIS
EASE GETS HOLD OF SYSTEM.

Mr.. John Glasco of Dierks, Ark,
has the right idea on avoiding mala-
ria and similar ailments. He always
keeps a bottle of Swamp Chill and
Fever Tonic on hand, and begins ia
king it before the disease has time
to get going. He says he uses it for
all stomach disorders, too.
Other sufferers from malaria, ague,
etc., are equally as hearty in their
praise of Swamp Chill and Fever
Tonic. And many others find it just
as effective for colds and grippe as it
is for chills and fever.
1t seldom takes more than three
days to break up malaria chills with
Swamp Chill and Fever Tonic And
no purgaticeehas to be taken with it
the tonic itself acts gently and
agreeably upon the liver and bowels.
1t contains no calomel, and is taste
less and pleasant to take.
For over twenty years Swamp
Chill Tonic has been the favorite
prescription of great many physi-
clans. They endorse it because
they know it is good.

LARGE LOSSES OF BEES
CAUSED BY STARVATION

Large losses of bee colonies occur
in Arkansas every year as result
of improper wintering. Losses can
not be estimated in number of colo
MES in which all of the bees have
died. Quite often, only so per cent
of the bees remain in colonies that
are said to have wintered success
fully, according to w. ]. Beerg, en-
tomologist of the experiment sta
ton. University of Arkansas.
''As rule, bees do not freeze to
death; they starve to DEATH" declares
Mr.. Beerg whether or not the
bees are well protected against the
low temperature, winter stores are
absolutely essential. The poorer the
protection, the more stores are re-
quired.
"a colony of bees we'll protected
against low temperatures, packed in
sawdust or placed in cellar, re-
| quire at least 80 pounds of honey to
keep them until flowers are again in
bloom. Colonies that are not so pro-
tected require more stores.
while perfect wintering is mani
/ testify impossible, winter losses have
been and can easily be reduced to
about | per cent of the individual
bees. Protection is an important
| factor. Various schemes for giving
winter protection have been devised.
The experiment station hives are
packed in sawdust in such a manner
that the bees are well protected
against low temperatures and can
/ also leave tha hives IN warm DAVIS
Detailed information on this method
can be obtained by communicating
with this office.
"Bees must be given additional
| food stores before winter sets in if
they have failed to lap up sufficient
stores. If they are we'll protected,
they may be fed any time during the
winter that it is deemed necessary.
If the stores are sufficient to keep
them through the winter, feeding
may be delayed until about the first
of March. A mixture of two parts
of granulated sugar to one part of
water is recommended for feeding
bees. Heat tie mixture to boiling
point to dissolve sugar and add one
ounce of tartaric acid to every 40 to
so pounds of sugar to invert sugar
and prevent granulation in the comb.

which holes have been punched is a

top will have to be thinned out, even
where large limbs are cut away. This
will make altogether too much prun-
ing for one tree. 1t will cause a
rank growth of wood at the expense
of fruiting and necessitate another
heavy pruning. The greatest danger
from heavy pruning is the liability
of infection by blister canker where
large wounds are mide.
"There are many conditions which
make it imperative to do pruning
that would ordinarily be considered
altogether too heavy. For instance,
for a number of years so much
when an orchard has been neglected
growth will have taken place and
limbs will be so crowded, crossed
and twisted that it will be necessary
to remove some large ones. When it
is necessary to do heavy pruning, we

method is to place the syrup in a
shallow dish or pan on top of the
frames and cover it with a canton
cloth large enough to drop over the
edge of the pan. This enables the
bees to crawl over the syrup without
danger of drowning. The cloth
should be loose enough so that it can
settle to the bottom of the pal as the
syrup is removed.
with the present outlook for good
prices and the strong demand for
honey, it will be nothing short of a
salamity to allow the bees to die of

railways has or has not caused an in

to causes which would exist under

causes Is the inability Of the railway
