HARM DONE BY BARK BEELE
Like Other Members of Their F011Y
They Always Attack Weaken
and Starved Trees.
In peach orchards from New fork
southward to Virginia and- wesrard
to Michigan the peach tree baribee
tle has given occasional troubloince
about 1850. It is a hard-shell in
sect about % inch long, and Vn it
emerges from the tree leave' tiny
holes like small shot holes i the
bark, hence it is sometimes ca the
shot-hole borer. The full-grown tles
appear in early spring, irrow
througi the. bark to the sFood,
and lay their eggs. The larvj soon
hatch and make little burrows their
owns in various directions. about
one month they emerge and art a
second brood. The numerouskrrows
eventnally girdle and kill th see. -
- Like other members of th amily,
they rarely attack, healthy s, but
promptly recognize weakgd and
starved trees, which soon tw . the
gummy exudations at poi; of at

orchard trees should be k4 in the
best possible vigor, and all!at show
serious infestation should iprompt

to destroy all the irsects der the
bark. Delay is sure to l*ase the
risk to other trees from creased

CARING FOR OUTDOOR ROSES
Should Be Planted in Spring In North:
and in Fall in South to En
dure Weather.
As a rule outdoor roses should be,
purchased and planted in the spring
at the north, and in the 'fall at thei
south, says Parks Floral Magazine.j
They will then become established!
and able to endure the frost at the
north, or the hot summer at the
south. Everblooming roses should be
pruned every month, cutting away the
raded flowers and a portion of the
weakened blooming branch. Free

blooming is thus -promoted, -for the.
Euds and flowers are mostly produced.
npon the new and. vigorous growth
that follows pruning. Summer-1
blooming oses, such as Prairie roses,j
Tune r6ses and, ?ichurian hybrids)
hould be pruned as soon as the cropf
f I bloom fades, the older, weaker
parts being removed, and the youngj
igorous shoots encouraged to grow.
All- roses, north, should have thej
frostid branches cut back to goodi
eyes. in.early, spring; and as the holi
day season approaches the more ten
der ones should be surrounded by long!
rye straw placed so as to shed the
rain and snow-water, and then bound,
by cords to k'eD the -straw In place.
The Everblooming roses that are of
doubtful hardiness should have a pail
ful of coal-ashes placed around each
plant, and a broad board -set edge
wise -avound. the bed to protect fro
the severeiwinter winds. These ard
simple hints, but if heeded they willi
greatly aid the cultivator in attainini
suctess.
Selecting Apples.
Particular rpples demand particulal
places. It is a curious fact that out!
of all the many. varieties we havet
select from there are only a very fe
hat will do very. well, that will bring
out the very best qualities of their
fruit on any one farm. We find that
the reputations of all our leading fruit
istricts have been built up largely on
the success of one variety. Take the
aravenstein; It has probably done
ncre for the reputation of the An
iapolis valley in Nova Scotia than any
>ther apple. And so Hubbardston in
he Hudson~ river valley, Northerni Spy

aro, York' Imperial. in .the . south
nountain region In'Peinsylvania and
.lbemarle Pippin in the south- moun
aiiz region of Virginia, says a writer
n an exchange. Just one variety of
Lpple has built up the reputation of
~ach of these different fruit districts.
M uskmelons. '
There is a general impression that'
nuskmelons are of much better qual
ty when grown in sandy soils.* Cer
inly melons of very high quality are
produced in sections of the country
where the soil is very sandy and yet
it would be diffcult. to find -better
:antaloupes than were produced this
rear at State College, Pa., on Hagers
town- clay loam. The~ plants were
started in paper pots under glass and
~ransplanted to the open ground after
langer -of frosts.

It is. estimated that the loss from
eaf curl to the peach growers of thisj
~ountry amounts to more than $3,000,~
)0 a year.
Where orchards are cultivated, thel
:op soil should" be kept in a state ofi
me mulch in order to keep as~ much
noisture in the ground as is possible.j
The injury to apple trees known asi
sunscald is one of the most seriousj
aindrances to successful apple cull
ure, particularly in the northern andj
eastern sections.
A great many orchardists believe,
hat spring is the best time for setting
in orchard beca use the soil will noi
pack or bake then as it does if tho'
trees are set in the fall.
Many trees that have been girdled1
by mice can be saved by bridge graft)
ng, which consists of bridging over,
the bark above the place where the
mic have gnawed and that below..
BIBMINBHAM CITIZEN SWEARS
TO REMARKABLE STATEMENT'
I want to tell you what Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root did for my wife. She was
troubled with terrible pains in her back
and they were such that it deprived her
of many night's sleep. There was a thick
red sediment. in her urine like brick dust.
The passage of the urine was very annoy
ing, being of a burning sensation and the
comp'leation was making her very thin
and weak. The medicine which the doc
tor gave her did not seem to help her
and she was finally persuaded to try Dr.
Kilmes Swamp-Root. I purchased one
bottle of the large size for her and it helped
nier. greatly. After she had taken three
bottles, she did not have any more trouble
with 'her kidneys. It has been seven
years since she' took Swamp-Root and she
is now wall and healthy At the time of
her kidney trouble, she weighed 130 pounds,
and she now weighs 185. My wife is 32
years of age .and cheerfully recommends
,Dr Kilmer's Swamp-Root to her friends
and feels very thankful that she found a
remedy, with such wonderful merit.
We give you absolute permission to.
publish this in any way you wish.
