THE FARMING WORLD
Th WOOLLY APHIS
Different Modes of Killing Tliis Very
Destructive Insect
The INtissouri experiment station has
made extensive experiments with dif
Cerenfc methods of killing the woolly-
aphis or apple root plant louse Follow
ing is a summary of the discoveries
made
The limb form of this insect can be
readily killed by one or two thorough
sprayings with strong kerosene emul
sion Apple seedlings buds and grafts
should be planted in a small trench
filled with finely powdered tobacco or
Jobacco dust and lightly covered with
earth This will keep the woolly aphis
awaj Apple nursery stock should have
a liberal supply of tobacco dust applied
to the roots every spring in order to kill
the woolly aphis and prevent it from es
tablishing itself there It should be ap
plied by removing some of the earth
from around the roots filling the ex
eavation with tobacco dust and lightly
covering it with earth Newly cleared
timber land should be cultivated in corn
or other crop for two years before the
apple trees are set out in order to kill
the woolty aphis that may be on the
roots of the wild crab and allied trees
Apple nursery stock should have the
roots cleaned and dipped for a minute in
strong kerosene emulsion in order to
kill the woolly aphis that may be there
In planting apple trees tobacco dust
should be freely used among and over
all the roots and close around the trunk
in order to kill and prevent the woolly
aphis from establishing itself there
Every spring as soon as settled warm
weather appears each tree should have
a liberal supply of tobacco dust applied
to its roots by removing the earth from
around the trunk for a distance of two
feet and four inches in depth evenly
filling this with the tobacco dust and
covering it with earth The root form
of the woolly aphis may be cheaply and
easily killed and kept away from an
ajple tree by the liberal use of tobacco
dust About five or six pounds of this
substance should be applied as above di
rected to the roots of every infested tree
and half this amount should be applied
in a similar manner each succeeding
spring costing approximately two
cents per tree per year This insect
may also be killed by injecting one fluid
ounce of carbon bisulphide two jeet
away from the trunk on two sides of the
tree but the use of this substance is not
advised except in extreme cases since a
little carelessness may injure the tree
and it is alwajs necessary immediately
to treat the trees with tobacco dust in
order to keep the insect away Coun

QUICKLY MADE HEDGE
Woodbine Grown Over a Frame Gives
Satisfactory Resnlts
Making a hedge with ordinary hedge
plants requires a good many years of
waiting before the full realization of
ones anticipations Many are de
terred from starting hedges because of
this long period of waiting The ac
companying illustration shows a short
cut to a remarkably -handsome hedge
A form is made of wire netting the
sides and top also being covered
Along the base on either side of this
TO MAKE A HEDGE QUICKLY
quickly growing vines are planted
which soon cover the wire with a mass
of green that becomes more and more
dense and beautiful each succeeding
year if the proper sort of vines is
used The proper sort in the
writers estimation would include our
common woodbine It is a quick
grower and its foliage is remarkably
handsome both in the green state and
whssi touched by autumn frosts
There are many other vines however
that would answer admirably for this
purpose so that all tastes can be
suited Such a hedge needs only such
annual clippings as will suffice to keep
the vines growing evenly all over the
wire as thickly in one place as in an
other Cedar stakes should be used
and carefully set in making such a
hedge since once made and covered
with a black growth of vines it will
-be inconvenient to make inferior re
pairs though stakes can of course be
driven down through the netting if
necessary Webb Donnell in American

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS
Now for cleanliness in the dairy
North Dakota is forging ahead as a
dairy state
Corn alone is not a proper
food
The state of Washington has a fine
dairy association
Get a separator if you mean to make
the dairy profitable
Wherever alfalfa will grow is the
place for the dairy and swine
New forage crops come and go but
clover blue grass and timothy stay
Some people have not the talent for
good
butter
and ought not to
try
A good way to prevent wooden butter
bowls from cracking Bury the new
bowl several inches deep in a salt bar-
rel and allow to remain for two weeks

NEAT CONTRIVANCE
Hove to Drive Pasturing Cattle Across
a Higrnvray
Many farms are so situated that the
cattle must be driven across a highway
to pasture This almost always affords
trouble The cattle will break away up
and down the highway to feed by the
roadside instead of crossing the road
directly from the pasture gate to the
lane leading to the barn A device is
shown herewith that may prove of as
sistance in such cases A narrow lane
THIS DEVICE CONTROLS STOCK
is built on each side of the road ex
tending well up to the carriage track
but not close enough of course to prove
any inconvenience to travelers Two
long bars or thin boards are then fitted
to slide across the highway when the
cattle are to be driven across and then
back again out of the way of travel
A bent rocl of iron connects the two
ends of the bars so that both can be
slipped across the road at once the
bend i the rod permitting it to rest
upon t3e ground so that the cattle can
pass over it To operate this takes but
a moments time Orange Judd Farmer
COMMON SENSE VIEW
Turning Corn Stalks Into Butter Is a
Paying Occupation
Some eminent professor has been tell
ing of the increased value the corn stalk
will have after certain of its properties
become more widely known The pith
it is said makes the best lining for a
battle ship that so far has been found
It is greatly compressed and then
placed next to the armor of the ship
and when an unfriendly cannon ball
goes through the armor the pith in
stantly expands to its original size and
thereby fills up the hole preventing any
water from entering the ship Then
smokeless powder may be made from
the stalk at a cost far below what it now
takes to produce the stuff When these
and other properties of the corn stalk
become more widely known it is stated
the farmer will get as much for the corn
stalk as he does for the corn which is
not saying much just about now But
in spite of this new and prosperous fu
ture thrust upon the corn stalk we are
of the opinion that its most profitable
use is to put it into a silo and with bran
or linseed meal turn it into butter And
we are reasonably sure that if good but
ter is made from it it will pay better
than to turn it into a contrivance for
aiding in the killing of human beings

Iveei the JMillc Cans Clean
If your washed milk cans smell when
closed a few hours they are not clean
enough for milk New cans pails and
strainers should be carefully examined
for irregular creases in the soldering a
little more solder will fill these places
and make the can perfectly sweet inside
In cleaning- cans where no boiler exists
for steaming them wash first in cold
water then in hot water and sal soda
Finally half fill them with clean scald
ing water put on the cover tightly for
a few minutes and they will steam
themselves completely Ey using the
hot water that steams our can for the
sal soda water for the next one a lim

Antonio is discreet and he called in a
few friends to his assistance Armed
with shotguns they made their way
into the cellar They had hardl
reached -the side of the stone walled
place when from the place beneath the
stairway there bounded a splendid
specimen of California lioness Before
a shot could be fired the animal escaped
through the open door
A second later and the liona big
ugly beast made a jump for the stair
way But this time Antonio was ready j
and killed the animal at the first fire
While his friends stood guard at the
doorway Antonio made a search under
neath the stairway and found four cubs
They were as comfortable as kittens

ham at Lynn Mass determined to step in andhelpher sex Having had consid
erable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound she en-
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their
complaints and being a woman it wras easy for her ailing sisters to pour into C
her ears every detail of their suffering
In this way she was able to do for them wliat the physicians were unable
to do simply because she had the proper information to work uppn and
from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow beings are to day constantly applying for advice and re
lief and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs Pinkham during the last jear is indicative of
the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and
training
No physician in the world has had such a training or has suchan amount
of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills
from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the womb
This therefore is the reason why Mrs Pinkham in her laboratory at
Lynn Mass is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the
family physician Any woman therefore is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs Pinkham for advice
The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of Ljdia E Pinkhams Vegetable Com
