Tte test course in dealing with cat worms ls to plow early In the fall and continue cultivation with a Bprlng tootbed harrow until freezing time prevents it and then renewing the war on them by extra early spring cultivation. There is no easy method of dealing with these pests, but they may be killed if one ls willing to go after Two Species of Cut-Worms, Also Moth That Lays the Eggs. them with determination. An effec tive method of combating them is to use sweet and poisoned bran, says the Prairie Farmer. The method is to add one part of Paris green, by weight, to thirty or forty parts of bran, stir this together, while yet dry, and then mixing lt with water that has been sweetened by the addition of strong or coarse molasses. The old er and stronger the molasses, to give it color, the better it will be. The bran should be moistened with j this sweeter cd water until it is made into a damp mass, just wet enough to stay in little heaps. A very small pinch of this placed at the ba6e of each garden plant to protect it will be effectual. The cut-worms will eat it in preference to the plant. Tonoprotect corn it is advisable to drop a pinch In the corn row each step or two across the field, so that the worm will find this and eat lt and let the corn remain. It would be bet ter to put the poison out before the corn appears above ground and thus kill the worms early, than to let them remain untreated until after the corn is once cut off. It is much better to put out the poison bran in the evening while it is damp, or on a damp day, so that it will not be dry when these pests come forth at night to seek their food.- It will be found by them just about as readily if it is slightly cov ered with earth and for this reason, if it should become necessary to pro tect domestic fowls from it, one could cover it with loose earth at the time of application. SUPPORTER FOR TREE LIMBS Wire Contrivance Fastens Sagging Branch to One Above-Illustra tion Shows the Plan. A contrivance for supporting "nbs of trees that are either broken or sacing with their own weight or a heavy burden of fruit has been de isi,* r.ed by a California man. Two Iron fc ri.s have slots at both ends and a hole at one end. One of the kooks is thrown over a sound upper limb, near the crotch, and the other is ad justed on the limb below that ro quires support. A pioco' of strong Tree Limb Supporter. vira ls then fastened to both hooks by means of the slots and perfora tions and pulled up till the sagging branch is in proper position. Tho wira IE then twisted fast and there IR r.o danger of Its yielding or breaking, as rope has been known to do. For Fence Row?. Hollyhocks and gol deng lew may be grown akmg the fence at'the back or eide of th* house, and require but lit tle room. PLUM TREES NEED SPRAYING When San Jose Scale Is to Be Treat ed Lime-Sulphur Will Be Given lr. the Spring. Plum trees need some spraying, usually on about the same lines as the work given to the apple orchard. Spraying should be given annually, usually two to four timps each year, and in all cases must be thorough to be worth while. Careless spraying is a waste of time and material. When the San Jose scale is to be treated, the lime-sulphur spray will be given early In the spring. A heavy spray ing of Bordeaux mixture or of plain blue vitriol solution before the buds open will aid in checking brown rot and other diseases. Another spraying of Bordeaux mixture, with arsenical poison added, should be given soon after the blossoms fail. It should be specially noted in this connection that Bordeaux mixture should be only half strength for plum trees. Some varie ties, especially those of the Japanese group, have the foliage seriously in jured by strong Bordeaux. Perhaps the best formula for this work is as follows: Fresh unslaked lime, three pounds; copper sulphate, two pounds; water, fifty gallons. The mixture is uen made up in the usual way, an?' applied with a nozzle throwing P. fine, misty spray. GRAFTING OLD GRAPE VINES Cleft-Graft a Little Above or at Leve/ of Ground, or Even Below, Is Best Method. Tn reply to a query as to whether an old grape vine, trained as shown in the iluBtration, can be successfully grafted, F. E. Gladwin of the Geneva. N. Y., experiment station, writes in the Rural New yorker as follows: "I should say from your diagram that the vine in question is trained to the horizontal arm spur system and that you desire to graft the numerous spurs along the arms. It ls very doubtful that you can be- successful, as there is too much opportunity for the pans to dry out before a union takes place. I should much pr??er tc cleft-graft a little above or at the level of the ground or even below. Tni3 can be** done as in top-working apples, cutting 'the scions a Httk thicker on the outside. It is best tc start tho taper opposite a bud. pla cing the scion in the cleft so that th? ^X^JIV^*. m \ \ ? , \ * ? ?3 Old Grape Vine. bud forces out and is nt or just abovf the level of the cut stock, il th? stock be large enough, insert i wc scions. After they are placed so thai the sapwood of scion and stock ar< in contact, mound up dirt firmly til! the top bud of the scion is just ex posed. If it is impossible to do tht grafting before sap flow begins, delaj It till the vigorous flow is over anc then do it. There is a decided inter r-uptlon after the first flow. Som* even prefer the latter period foi grafting. It will then be a simple mat ter to train the growth as before, anc you will have a better vine than coule possibly be obtained in the way yoi suggest. Rest Period for Trees. All trees and shrubs, in fact al perennial plants, must have a perloc of rest. This is true even of th< evergreen, whose foliage, while re taining its color, is as nearly desti tute of vitality during the winter as those trees which shake off theil leaves in the autumn. Grapes. Tho grape is an American fruit fo: the most part. It can be so easilj propagated and grown. You don' have to make wine and get rich foi a few hours. HOSTICULTUS&L NOT?S Gather a!! tho brush from the or ch;.rd and burn it Trees Injured by freezing very cftei need io bo severely cut back. The appearance of the orchard ii helped by clearing it of dead branches Keep the orchard land in good tilth The trees can be set as soon as the leaves fall. Gooseberries require a cool situa tion, with plenty of air and moisture and should be partially shaded. As soon as caterpillar nests are ir evidence, burn them without delaj before new colonies are formed. Good fruit can be raised only with care and attention given to spraying pruning and generally good care. Gather up dead branches and burn them, as they are apt to harbor bark beetles, one of the worst orchard pests. Blackberries should be given space in the garden, for there are few, ii any, fruits} that give quicker and bet ter returns. A yearling tree is preferred by many to older trees. They are thought to be safer to transplant thin two-year trees. Plant a cover crop In the orchard. Rye, barley, wheat and oats are good non-leguminous plants, but the le gumes are better. Don't expose the roots to the hot Bun and drying wind. Keep them in a "paddle" until the moment you are ready to plant them. If some ott the trees are girdled but partially, they may he doctored suc cessfully by using arpaste made o? day and cow manure. Southern Railway.
