Peach Tree Borers Are
Troublesome in Orchard

Borers are very troublesome when
they get a start in the orchard. Peach
tree borers can soon injure a tree
cry seriously. 1t is true that trees
infested with borers may live and
bear a few years after they are in
tested with these pests. hut such trees
begin to fail and o die.
Early fall is a good time to look
for peach tree borers. If they are de-
strOyed in the fall no further trouble
will be had till the next brood begins
in late spring.
Examine the trunks of the trees. II
you find wax" exuding from the
trunks of the trees and the roots. I'M
less the tree has had n mechanical
injury. you may conclude with a good
deal of proof that there are borers.
Look for them. They are little white
worms" and may be found readily.
The best way to destroy borers is
to take a sharp knife and cut them
u and destroy them, 1t may be nee
essary to scrape away the surface soil
and look into the roots near the sur
face. as these pests are likely to bore
into roots.
Good results have been obtained by
digging out n little trench In the
ground around the tree about n half
inch from the trunk Of the tree and
pouring carbon bisulphlde in the
trench and covering 1t quickly. The
fumes of the gas will kill the Insects.
But care must be taken not to let any
Of the liquid carbon b~isulphlde touch
the roots OF the tree, ms It is likely to
kill the tree. This Is not very expen.
sive, as It does not take much carbon
h%lsulphlde to use around one tree.

CHAPTER X
Prosper Comes to a Decision.


Perhaps, in spite of his gruesome
boast as to dead men, It was as much
to satisfy his own spirit as to COM
fort JOan's that Prosper actually did
undertake a journey to the cabin that
had belonged to Pierre. 1t was true
that Prosper had never been able to
stop thinking, not so much OF the tall,
slim youth lying so still across the
floor, all his beauty and strength
turned to an ashen slackness. as of a
brown hand that stirred. The motion
Of those fingers cropping for life had
continually disturbed him. He went
back stealthily at dusk, choosing a
dusk of wind-driven snow so that his
tracks vanished as soon as made. The
roof Of Pierre's cabin made a dark
ridge above the snow, yelled in cloudy
drift. He reached II with n cold heart
md slid down Il its window, cautiously
bending his face near TO the pane. He
expected an interior already dark
frcm ~. snow piled round the win
dow, Sc ne cupped his hands about his
eyes. At ono he let himself down out
of sight below the sill, There was "A
living presence In the house. Prosper
had seen a bright fire, the smoke OF
which had been hidden by the snow
stray, a cot was drawn up before the
TIRE, and a big, fair young man In
tNeeds whose face. rosy. sensitive, and
quiet, was bent over the figure on the
cot. A pair Of large. white hands were
carefully busy.
Prosper, crouched below the win
dow, considered what he had seen. 1t
was a week now since he had left
n for "A dying man. This big fell
low In tweeds must have come soon
after the shooting. Evidently he was
not caring for a dead man. The black
head on he pillow had moved. Now
there came the sound of speech, just a
bass murmur. This time the black
head turned itself slightly and Prosper
saw Pierre's face. He had seen 1t
only twice before; once when 1t had
looked up, fierce and crazed, at his
hrst entrance Into the house, once
again when 1t lay with lifted chin and
pale lips on the floor. But ever after

Pruning Apple Trees to
Make Profitable Gains

For several years an experiment
was carried on at the horticultural
station at Vineland, Ont, to determine
whether summer or winter pruning of
apple trees gives best results. There
has also been a comparison with trees
that are not pruned. The summer
pruning consisted of thinning out in
August when growth is ceasing and
the maturing of wood commences.
The conclusions drawn are that the
lighter the pruning. the greater the
growth, the earlier the tree comes in
to bearing. and the heavier the yield
during the early period Of the trees
life at least. But although the I'm.
pruned trees have made the greatest
gains to date. the lightly summer
pruned trees are very little. II any,
behind, especially when the increased
cost Of spraying, picking, growing
lack Of color, and the general I'M
desirable condition OF the tree for
future crops are considered. To re-
deem such an unpruned orchard would
necessarily retard its crops for a
period and thus the earlier gains
from no pruning would possibly be
lost.
Light annual pruning just sufficient
to retain the proper shape of the tree
to allow sunlight and air to get
through and to keep out all crossed
and broken branches, seems, therefore.
to be the proper method to pursue
for the young orchard until II comes
into bearing. After bearing age is
reached, pruning will likely have to
be more severe so ms to maintain n
proper supply OF new wood each yenr.
What constitutes severity Of pruning
Will. OF course. vary with the variety.

Practical Suggestions

1t Is Important to fill the sllo when
the corn is exactly ut the right state
of maturity, that is. when the grain
Is in the dent and glazed, but can
still be broken with the thumb nail.
Under average conditions, the two bot
tom leaves will be turned brown and
the shucks will be turning yellow at
the ends.
There is more danger of putting
the silage in too dry than too moist.
With "A stave sllo the hoops should be
frightened up so as to exclude the air
and generally loosened a little after
the silage swells the slaves.
The corn should not be cut down
o far ahead or 1t will dry out. 1t
will take at least six teams to keep
the average silo-cutter busy. The
silage should be well tramped in order
to exclude the air. 1t should be kept
higher at the walls than In the cen.
ter. At least two men in the sllo are
necessary when a distributor is not

Cocklebur Poison
Menace to Stock
Swine Particularly Suscepti-
BILE, but Other Farm Ami
mails Also Injured.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Live stock running IN pasture infest-
ed with young cockleburs is liable to
be poisoned, Investigations by the
United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture show. This is particularly true Of
swine. but also cattle and sheep, and
especially in the Mississippi Valley and
Great Plains states. Young pigs up TO
two months of age are more suscepti-
BILE thar other stock, although occa-
sional reports OF cocklebur poisoning Of
other animals have been coming TO
workers in the pathological division NJ
the bureau of animal industry. where
the Investigations of stock poisoning
by plants are carried on.
Amount Of Dose.
There seems to be considerable vari-
alton in the quantity of cockleburs
necessary to poison, but In general the
dose that causes poison is not far from
one and one-half pounds of the green
plant to 100 pounds of animal. Appar-
emily there is little difference betw cen
the dose that causes only sickness and
he dose that kills. The symptoms Of
poisoning are depression, nausea ac-
companied with vomiting, rapid anG
weak pulse, and a low temperature.
The symptoms appear within "a hours
after the plant is eaten and commonly
last only a few hours. Since 1t is only
the young plant, before the formation
of leaves, that is poisonous, cases of
poisoning may occur at any time when
young plants are found. These cases
begin in the latter part of winter In
the Southern states and somewhat la
ter in the Northern states. while the
losses may be spread over several
months.
Best Remedy.
The best remedy. of course, Is to
keep stock away from the young
cocklebur plants, especially when there
Is a scarcity of feed or when the ami
mails are very hungry. The plant may
be eXterminated in a good many areas,
but since it is an annual there is usu-
ally a crop the second year from seed
that failed to terminate the preceding
season. The department has not rec
commended any special medicinal rene
dies, but when milk is given to affected
animals they recover or when sailed
bacon grease, lard or raw llnSced oil is
substituted for the milk treatment re-
coNeries occur also.
