rfruit and truck department. Two Labor-Saving Garden Implements Hit Mra. C H. Krrrla, Niritfrlantl. Mia*. Une cannoi nave a satisfactory gar den without proper cultivation. Suit able implements are necessary for easy, quick work I like to work In the garden when able; and although we had a hoe much lighter than a field h o«». I found It required too much strength to use It. More en ergy went into handling the hoe than In stirring the soil or killing weeds Two year* ago we bought a hoe with a lMnch blade, four Inches wide at one end and tapering to a point at the other The pointed end la Just the thing to work among small plant*, and the wide side does splendidly for other cultivation. It cost* only cent*, and we can do more and better work, and do It easier than with any other hoe we ever had. so It ha* paid for Itself many time*. j* This spring we purchased a combined hand drill and garden cultivator, and It has about revolutionised our gar den work. I have always done the planting; and as all know who hav< tried It. hand planting is tiresome I his Implement can be set to plan need from turnips or onions to benm or corn, in drills or hills; and do I as fast as one can walk down th< row and push it. The seeder can b< removed and replaced by two atnal plows, rakes (or harrows), weeders and cultivators, either of which w|l work both sides of a row of Vegeta bles at one time as It Is pushed along W© have not had It long; and I hav< not yet had an opportunity to use It as other members of the family wh« heretofore rebelled at garden worl have begged to do It with the nev Implement. It seems to me hoelni will be unnecessary when this f used, ns the cultivators may be se close to work small plants; and n they grow some of the other attach ments may be used, set farther apart It is easily adjustable. It costa llfl but saves so much in aeed. tlma ani strength that it is worth the price and we commend It to all Fighting Insect Pests in May. *» Frmmkltn kktrtnmm. Pnlmmolfi*. thrp+ritmmt mf 4/rWfar*.

If our earlier advice* have been Ignored, or If you are troubled despite precautions, mix wheat bran and Paris green at rate of 1 ox. green to i fit*, bran, sweet ten and moisten with molasses and water, and distribute in little hand fuls along the row* near the plants, many cut-worms will be attracted and destroyed by this poisonous mix lure. Melon-louse; Potton-louse. — On two entirely distinct plants, yet these are considered to be one and the same specie*. tin the lousy plants one often finds ants and lady-beetles The ant* are friendly to the Hoe and go there to get the honey-dew.- a sweet substance which the lice *e crete. but the lady-beetles eat the lire and are therefore beneficial Neither the ant* nor the lady-beetles are parents of the Hco. for the tiny young Hco are born alive from the larger parent Hce. There are other era-role* which destroy the Hce In such number* that they generally be come harmless by the time settled L’riiilhif 'h.-r rntnet Kerosene emulsion of 10 per cent oil. «*r strong soap solution are effective.
