Farm and Fireside. ?"' =a This column is exclusively for matters pertaining to farm and house work. We solicit contributions to it from everybody in the county who has some idea that he or she would like his or her neighbor to know. If you have some special way of planting, cultiva ting or harvesting a crop, let others know it. If some good housewife has a pet recipe for canning, pickling or preserving we will be glad to publish it. This column belongs to the people just as the editorial column belongs to the editor; it is their's to discuss any questions that will interest those on the farm or around the fireside. 9 9 9 Some time ngo a gardener brought us a cabbage head whose leaves were a dark purple all the way through. We have scon plenty of cabbage with purple leaves part of the way, but this was the first we have noted that was wholly and altogether purple. 9 9 9 To Destroy Root Lice. According to the most recent investi gation of Southern entomologists and the experience of practical fruit grow ers the time is at hand when every fruit grower of South Carolina should treat his trees that are infested with the woollv aphis or apple root louse. These are bluish white, mouldly-looking, soft bodied lice that cause knots or swellings on the roots of fruit trees. There oc cur two forms, viz.: the root-infesting form and the aerial form, the latter oc curring on portions of the trees above the ground. When an orchard tree becomes un thrifty from some invisible cause it is well to expose t'.ie roots to determine the presence or absence of this root louse. Wherever the louse is present in conspicuous numbers the swellings will soon be noticed. The insect is a very serious fruit pest in many localities. In order to enable the owners of fruit trees to successfully combat it the following recommenda tions are given. Tli2 ingredients used may he obtained in any local market, w hile the application is so simple that any intelligent fruit grower can apply it. The following treatment ti ild be made before the middle of J ccept in sii'*--. orchards where the tioos are still actively growing owing to thor ough cultivation or other favorable con ditions. KEROSENE KMULSION. Kerosene. -:-Whale oil soap Water. 2 gallons 1-2 pound .1 gallon -:-Any good potash soap can be used. DIRECTIONS FOK PKHPAIUNG. Dissolve the soap in one gallon of hot water over a fire. Remove this mix ture away from the fire (so that there is no danger of setting fire to the kero sene) and add the two gallons of kero sene, after which this solution is vio lently agitated until it forms a smooth, creamy emulsion that will not separate when left standing. The stirring should continue from eight to ten minutes. A little force pump with hose and Bor deaux nozzle set for a straight discharge is most excellent for agitating this mix ture by pumping the solution violently back into itself. When thoroughly emulsified it is called a stock solution and may be kept for a long time. It can be diluted to any desired per cent, of strength. For woolly aphis a 16 per cent, strength is recommended. For convenience the following form ula is given in order to eliminate the danger of making too strong emulsions owing to a misunderstanding in our methods of calculating percentage: For 10 per cent, emulsion dilute stock solution with 17 gallons of water. For If) per cent, emulsion dilute stock solution with 10 l-.'t gallons of water. For 20 per cent, emulsion dilute stock solution with 7 gallons of water. To make the woolly aphis emulsion, therefore, dilute the stock solution above described by adding 10 1-I1 gallons of water. HOW TO APPLY THE KMUI.SION. The soil is removed so that the in fested roots are partially exposed. This necessitates the removal of soil to a depth of two and a half to three inches. The soil should be normally dry and not full of water. To saturate the soil to a depth of three or four inches over a circular area 30 inches in diameter, having the young tree for the centre, requires about two and a half to three gallons of emulsion. In case of a large tree where the infested roots extend over a circular area five feet in diame ter, live to six gallons are required. The removed soil should he replaced immediately after the emulsion has been applied. Kerosene emulsion 15 per cent, strength applied at this rate to apple trees four to ten years of age will cost about (3 cents per tree. Where the infestation is light a 10 per cent, strength, which is cheaper, i:t satisfac tory. It should be applied once this year and repeated next year, and if carefully done the lice will then be prac tically destroyed.

We wander over all the place With lagging feet, For never more will we find here Her presence sweet. The sunshine, cheer and bravery Of her sweet smile Will never more at morn or eve Our care beguile, And only memory can hold The sweet perfume Her patient life hath shed upon This empty room. But we know that we shall surely find When life is o'er Our mother waiting just beyond The grave's closed door. CLARA COX EPPERSON. Algood, Tennessee.
