EiMM CO F" I WF-. TAI LORING ; Good Effect of Mulching and Spraying In the Spring. By JAMES ELWIN, Minnesota. Last winter. 100G-7, I bought a straw stack in order that we might mulch my plum trees to keep them back in the spring In case a late frost might come after blossoming. We only mulched about one-half and mulched them in February, when the ground was frozen. As the season was very backward I could ifot tell if It hohl them back or not. but I do know that on those that were mulched the fruit was better and more of It, owing to the mulch retaining' the moisture around the tree. On trees that wore not mulched the fruit In a number of cases wilted and dried up before ripen lug. The spriug of 1000 was the first year we sprayed. AVe sprayed before the trees were in blossom with bordeaux and parls green and commenced the second spraying after the fruit had formed. With only a knapsack spray er it was slow work, and we were un able to finish the orchard. All the trees that were sprayed twice had very fine fruit, and those that were sprayed only once were inferior. A number of the trees that were sprayed twice yield' ed two slxtcen-quart crates of elegant fruit. Early in 1007 I purchased a barrel sprayer, which made the work easy. Ono man would drive and pump nnd two would spray. By this means wo could spray 200 trees an hour. We sprayed twice last year, using bor deaux and arseuate of lead. Black Aphis. The first three years black aphis was very prevalent among the trees, espe cially. the De Soto. Last summer after the second spraying I noticed nearly all of the new shoots were covered with this pest and thought perhaps spraying had not helped It, but In a few days, to my surprise, I found it all gono and concluded tho iusccts working down to tho part that was sprayed obliterated them. In conclu sion I wish to impress oil tho minds of those raising plums that it is not ad visable to offer them for sale lu bushel baskets. A Little Ball.

Ho was. for instance, n iirm enemy to those who hold the tho Interior of the earth must be fluid because of its intense heat. To prove his contention that tho interior of tho earth must be solid ho took two eggs, one hard boiled and the other raw, nnd. suspending them by cords, spun them in imitation of the earth's rotation. In a very short while the raw egg lost Its momentum and came to rest, while the boiled ouo went on spinning merrily for quite a long while.

In the vicinity of Germantown there lived a worthy old Quaker lady and her son John, who were once called upon to entertain a number of ladles, at dinner during quarterly meeting. As John began to carve the broiled chicken he entered upon a flowery speech of welcome, but in the midst of his flattering utterances his mother, who was somewhat deaf, piped uj from the other end of the table: "You needn't bo pnilslne of 'em up, John.
