IW -H In reply to the following quory: "I have grten gnge plum trees that are full of bloom at present, but every year when they get about half slue the plums get wormy and fall off. I would like to know if there U any way of preventing this." the Wallace's Far mer makes the following reply: A little black beetle, which at pres ent la feeding on the leaves ami blos soms Is the cause of wormy iilums which drop off. Wheu the blossoms fall this little beetle takes round bites out of the green plums. It is these lit tle round bites that causes the lop sided and gnarly plums. If the beetle Is a female, it will, in addition, make crescent shaped cuts In tho green plums and Insert eggs In these cuts. These eggs hatch out Into the dirty white little worm with which all who eat plums, cherries or peaches are fa miliar. The only way to prevent wormy plums is to in some way kill the beetles before they have laid their eggs. This Is difficult to do, but two methods have been found which are l&'CfflfrNi rv Plum Curcullo. fairly satisfactory; These are Jarring and spraying. The jarring method of beetle de struction is based on the fact that the beetles "play possum" when there is any disturbance near them. Jarring Is commenced Just as the blossoms are falling, and is repeated every day for four or five weeks, or until no more beetles are secured. The method is to place a sheet or some other con tainer under a plum tree, and then to strike the tree a quick, hard blow with a padded stick or mallet. The beetles fall to the sheet and may then be col lected and destroyed. In large plum orchards time Is saved by rigging up a sheet arrangement on a sort pf a wheelbarrow, or by stretching sheets on wooden frames. In a large orchard in Georgia where peach and plum trees were Jarred sixteen times in the spring over 100,000 curcullo beetles were caught In this way. It Is estimated that the destruction of these booties prevonted the growth of over 13,000, 000 worms In the fruit. At any rate only about four per cent, of tho crop was wormy, while In surrounding or chards about forty por cent, was in jured. An easier though not quite such a certain way to kill the beetles Is by spraying with lead arsenate. If the leaves and fruit are thoroughly covered with this poison, the beetles. In socuring their food, are poisoned before they lay their eggs. In brief, the method of spraying is as follows: IMssolve lead arsenate at the rate of two poinds to fifty gallons of wa ter, then spray the mixture on the tree so that they are completely cov ered. The spraying should be com menced Just as soon as the blossoms fall, and repeated three or four times at Intervals of eight to ten days. Possibly' this treatment sounds like it Is more bother than it is worth. Per haps it is for the farmer who has but a few plums, cherries or peaches, but the commercial grower must fight this enemy If he is to have profitable crops each year. Of course In heavy bear ing years there is enough fruit for both the curcullo and the grower. In such years the curcullo may even do good by thinning out the fruit. DISCOVER NEW LEGUME EFFECTS Experiments Made With Timothy and Oats In Connection With Leva me Crop at Cornell. It is well known that a leguminous crop, when vigorous and abundant, ex ercises a beneficial Influence on the soil and on succeeding crops. That a legume may benefit a nonlegume grow ing with it, by causing the nonlegume to contain a large quantity of nitrogen or protein, seems never to have been ascertained. Experiments have, therefore, been conducted with timothy growing with alfalfa, timothy growing with red clover and oats growing with peas by Profs. T. L. Lyon and 0. A. BUtell. of Cornell experiment station at Ithaca, N. Y., to determine what effects were produced. These show that the tim othy and the oats contain more pro tein when grown with the legume than when grown alone. The increased protein contents of the hay crop thus produced is a matter of considerable practical importance. It indicates, moreover, that the nonlegume receives during the growth of the legume a larger supply of available nitrogen than if grown alone. Other conclu sions drawn from the experiments are reported In bulletin No. 294, which de tails the work done. A Good Hair-Food Aycr's Half Vigor, new Im proved formula, is a genuine hair-food.

WHITE.) Young colts should not be left out in the pasture until they begin to get low in flesh. It Is much more profit able to begin feeding them a little grain and hay along before pastures begin to dry up, to have them in readi ness to go on dry feed later without any serious trouble. This is too often neglected and when young colts are brought in thin In flesh and they cannot be taken through the winter in the condition that they could have been this neglect ia answerable. In weaning the colt from the mare it should have the very best of care, as the change of conditions is liable to cause some trouble. While on the good summer pasture the mare gave milk that was easily digested and in taking colts from milk to dry feed it is necessary that they should receive the wv best of attention. Thwr should be properly fed in order to prevent any bowel troubles. This rule will hold good in taking young calves through this period, and in fact will apply to all kinds of live stock, but more especially to the young of the farm which are expected to turn in a profit for the farmer the next year. Norway Spruce In Maine. Great importance is attached to the experiment of planting Norway spruce in Maine. This Is the first attempt of the kind In New England, but experi menters believe that the future sup ply of tho denuded states may be re placed in this way. Desiccated Eggs. Pennsylvania food experts declare that certain forms of concentrated or desiccated ' eggs are decomposed and unfit for human consumption and in some cases produce ptomaine poisoning. Buying Stock. Before you buy foundation stock make a close study of the breeds and their adaptability and buy the kind that are adapted to your needs. Do not buy anything that is a sheep, simply because it is a sheep. C. Gee Wo The Chinese Doctor Thla wmvlaful man haa made a lifoaludy of lha propertloa of Koola.
