| More neighborhOOd trouble has
originated from neighbours chickens de-

other one source, it has been asserted.
A good, cIoseIy-woven wire fence is
the best insurance that can be taken
out against such troubles.
A garden was being destroyed by

A good fence not only keeps out
neighbours chickens but dogs and cats
as well. While the chickens scratch
up the ground, the dogs destroy it by
running over it and making beds un-
derneath the foliage of the larger
crops. Cats are particularly trouble
some when the garden is first planted,
and it takes pretty good fence to
keep them out.

lions has practically driven the pick
ling business out of existence, is shown
by studies made in Wisconsin by Unit
I'd States department of agriculture
scientists. Their investigations prove
that the white pickle disease, or mo-
sale disease Of cucumbers, also attacks
the wild or white pickle cucumber, a
vine which occurs along streams and is
used for ornamental purposes in many
parts Of the middle West. Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, where
this wild vine thrives, are the center
of the pickle-growing industry in this
country. The wild plant is serious
menace to the cultivated cucumber IN
these states, because it is the prin-
cipal, if not the only, means by which
this disease is carried over from sea-
son to season.
All persons in town and country
in cucumber regions are urged by the
United States department of agricul-
ture to stop planting the wild cucum-
Der and to pull up and destroy all wild
cucumber plants found in their vicin-

Disease Near Towns.

Coincident with the great abundance
Of wild cucumbers near towns it has
been observed that the white pickle
disease Of the cultivated cucumber is
generally more abundant and severe
near towns than in the open country.
This is of Importance not only to
nearby farmers who grow pickles as
a business, but to town gardeners as
we'll who wish to grow a few cucum-
bers, muskmeIons or other vine crops
for home use. The disease may attack
any of these vines so severely as to
kill the plant or prevent the production
Of any but warty and worthless fruits.
The striped cucumber beetle, which
Is usually present on cucumbers, is
one Of the most effective agents in
spreading the disease from plant to
plant and from field to field. Depart
ment of agriculture scientists have
shown that the disease is carried from
one cucumber crop to the next as fol-

wild cucumber plant falls to the ground
In the autumn. In the latitude Of the
middle western states mentioned
these seeds terminate early in May at
about the same time that the striped
cucumber beetles begin to come out of
winter quarters. The beetles feed up
On wild cucumbers abundantly until
the cultivated cucumbers come up in
nearby fields or gardens. During this
period of three or four weeks the
mosaic which persisted in the seeds

The young plants and the beetles feed
ing on them have become infected.
Beetles Carry Disease.
When the garden and field cucum-
oers appear the beetles fly to feed on
them, carrying the disease with them.
It is quite certain, therefore, that the
disease generally starts each season
from the wild cucumber, and it ap-
pears probable that the elimination Of
this plant as an ornamental would go
Ear toward reducing the amount Of
mosaic disease on cultivated cucum-
5ers. Among the climbing ANNALS
which have been recommended to take
the place of wild cucumbers as an or
oamental are the morning glory, the
scarlet runner bean, and the cypress
vine. All are quick growers and pro-
vide shade and an abundance of
snowy flowers. OF the many perennial
vines available for use as ornamentals,
the Virginia creeper, the wild grape,
white Powered clematis, and the false
bittersweet are mentioned as especially
adapted for the middle West. Those
