Every bud of last yoor will mako
this year a shoot, and by tho first of

budH for blossoming, thus showing
how many clustors may bo expected
from it. Tho quality of the fruit will
bo greatly benefited by romovingfrom
each bud all tho shoots except tho two
that aro largest. These will grow to
larger sizo and ripen earlier if tho full
strength of tho shoot is concentrated
into them. It is tho multiplication of
seeds that makes gropo fruiting so ex
haustive to tho vine. It requires nn
abiindauco of potash to form tho seed
and to ripen and color tho fruit. When
an overloaded vine mildowa just about

is a certain judication that notash is

SOME PEsTIUVTrVE INSECTS.
To prevent serious destruction to
tho treos from tho various insects tho
following mot hods aro recommended.
For tho canker worms or caterpillars,
spraying witn arsenical poisons while
the worms aro young is tho best
remedy, though tho trees may bo
banded with tar or tarred paper. The
fruit bark bcetlo is a small brown in
sect. A whitewash in which a ouart
of salt has been dissolved in each three
gallons may bo applied, and it is likely
that a thorough application of Uor
deaux tnixturo may be of some valuo
as a rcpullaut. '
The ring loggod tree bng is a large,
gray, flattened bug, shaped somowhat
lilio tho stink bug, and breeds on fruit
and other treos, sacking tho sap from
tho tender shoots. Kerosene emul
sion will kill thorn.
Tho clover root borer is a small
brown beotlo which lays its eggs in
tho orown ot the plants, in spring, and
tho young worms from these eggs bur
row into and destroy tho roots. Rapid
rotation and summer plowing aro tho
remedies.
Tho Harlequin oabbago bag cannot
bo poisonod, but must bo attracted to
plants that have been put out as baits,
and after attracting tho bugs to thoso
they can bo sprayed with pure kero
sene. Tho squash plant louso breeds
on the leaves of the squash and melons,
often covering the under sido of tho
leaves and injuring them by sucking
tuo juices and causing tuem -to ourl.
Fumigating with bisul-ihido of carbon
lias beon ellootivo in some casos. Whito
ants may also bo destroyed by this
solution.

LAWS GUERV,
Whon
a person has kopt his lawn
well clipped, and has devoted no little
tiino every evening during tho dry,
warm wcuther of summer to watering
tho grass, and has not spared an abun
danoe of fertilizing material when all
these things havo been attended to
nnd still tho lawn begins to look brown
and shabby whou the season is but lit
tio more than naif over, it is no won
der thnt disappointment is felt, writes
Webb Dounell. Uut the fault is usual
ly with the man rather than with his
lawn. It is impossible to havo a con
stantly green and vigorous turf, from
early spring until late fall, unless the
turf is composed of a succession of
grasses, so that after tho "season" of
one is past, one or more others may
be oomingon to take its piaco. it is
too much to expect that (one or two
kinds of grass will grow vigorously
from spring till fall. Most grasses aro
comparatively short in tho timo of
their most vigorous growth. Tho
Eeoret, then, of a handsome lawn, is to
havo a succession of grasses that will
cover tho whole season, and this suc
cession can be isccured by scoding a
lawn with some ot the lawn grass mix
tares that can be obtained of roliablo
seedsmen. ; Experience has shown whut
mixtures aro beat adapted for thiu'pur
pose, and those who havo a prido in
the appcaranco of thoir grounds can
not atlord to neglect such mixtures,
for they afford not only a succession of
green growth, but aro compounded on
a doQnito idea of associating such
grasses that ono muy bo of a ntituro to
assist tho growth of another. Thus a
vigorous kind muy fnrnisu jut tho
shado tbut is required to start into
vigorous growth a grass that by itself
eould never havo nuined a foothold.
There is nothing in nature much liner
thun a well kept bit of turf, and where
ono has secured tatisfuctory results iu
this dirootion ho muy well feel proud
of his success. Wo c-in hardly hopo in
this country to match the beuutiful
turf that is scon in English country
plaoos, since tho warm, moist climate
of England is speciully suited to tho
luxuriant growth of grouses; but wo
can still secure quite u fair success if
the matter is taken hold of rightly,
and this, 1 am convinced, 13 puri'ou
larly depoudent upon tho uso of.intel
ligently mixed gtuss seeds. Tho treat
mcut of tho turf after tho grass is
grown is of great importance, but that
treatment is terribly haudicappod if it
bos not the proper kind of turf to
work upon. New Euglaud Home

Each season, almost without excep
tion, crops can be grown ou fields from
which ryo and wheat wero hurvostod.
Those cr.teh crops must necessarily be
rapid growers und iiwly maimers.
While it is not advisil'lo to tax tho
laud too severely, catch crops cuu of
ten bo grown with profit without in
jury to tho soil. Especially in this
true wheu tho wheat crop ripens eurly,
or hi.s to bo plowu.l up niter corn

doubtedly be short tliid ueusou beouuso
of tho limited ucreage, nud pastures

Corn havo been plimto l for fodder us

tho oruiuary planter, totting it so thut
uno i.ruiu will bo dropped every tis

over, doublo plant, or plant in a row
betwoon tho first rows. Tbo Gold will
then contain twioo as niony rows as
under ordinary circumstances. This
crop will not need cultivating. It can
bo used for soiling, or it cau bo out
and cured as hay. John Virgin, of
Livingston County, Illinois, cuts tho
fodder with a self-biuder, aud when it
is well cured finds that it makes a most
excellent fodder. Tho ground is pro-
pared as for an ordinary corn crop.
Milleti aro also valuablo as catch
crops Uortnan millet and Hungarian
grass aro tho most dosirablo sort", as
tho leafago is heavy and tho heads
largo. Prepare the ground as for
oate, sowing broadcast or in drills, at
tho rate of one-half to ono bnshol per
acre, allowing sixty to Bovcnty-flvo
days for full development. If thero
is sndlcient moisture in tho ground to
givo tho plants a good start, considerable-
drouth cau bo withstood. To
make good bay, cut as soon as the
hoads begin to appear. Allow to lie
until partially cured, thon rako into
windrows and allow to romain nntil
thoroughly dried out. Thon stack, ot
store in barns. Harvested in this
manner, there is little or no dangor ot
bad oficcts from feodiug to all kinds
of stock. If allowed to become over
ripe, largo quantities may contain too
much grain for best results. The crop
answers woll for soiling or putting
into the soil.
Whero a grain catch crop is desired,
nothing Is suporior to buckwheat It
furnishes excollcnt boo pasture, as it
begins to blossom early and continues,
if permitted, until cold weather. Tho
flour is largely UBod in tho kitchen,
and tho grain is an excellent ogg
producing food for poultry. Plow
tho ground thrco or fonr inches doop,
aud sow either with drill or broad
cast, at tho rate of two to 11 vo pooka
per aero. It will grown on compara
tively poor soil, but drouth is very
apt to injure it. Should tho weather

give very satisfactory results.

rcsombling turnips abovo ground, but
having no bulbous root. As it is on
annual sowed ou plowed ground.there
is no sod, so thnt pasturiug by light

is most satisfactory. Horses and cattle
are liable to injure tho plant. It tho

allowed to remain mora than a fow
hours, for fear of bloating. Also they
should not cat largo quantitios while
tho dow is on. The fattening qualities
ot the plant aro groator than those of
clover. Sow on rich soil at the rato
of one to two pounds of seed per acre.
It can be sown in drills or broadcast
up to July 20, or even later should tho
season bo wet. If the season is very
dry at the time of sowing, tho plant
will not flourish.
Fall turnips can bo sown as a catch
crop and the roots preserved for win
ter stock feed, being especially desir
able for sheep, but also valuablo for
cattle and dairy cows. Tho prinoipal
growth mado by tho turnip is in tho
fall, when the weather is moist and eool.
Hot, dry winds aro injurious. They
can bo sown from tho tirst of July al
most to tho latter part of August. The
latter period is usually most desirable.
Sow tho same as any othor root crop,
