As Daniel H. Johnsm and wife
of Wells Tannery, were crossing
George S'pes' farm a few days
ago. their attention was directed
to a large chesnut tree. Getting
a plow line from Mr. Sipes, and
measuring the tree, they found
it to have a circumference at the
ground of 17 feet, and six feet
above the ground, it measured 16
foet Upon his arrival at N. S,
Strait's, Mr. Johnson was amaz
ed at the size of some eggs he
saw Mr. Strait bringing in. His
curiosity led him to measure one
and be found it measured 6 in all
es in circumference, and 3 inch
es in length. If you want eggs
that will hatch two chicks to the
egg, just call on Nev.
The corn is coming up nicely,
but thare is a crow for every
stalk and then some. A farm
er down the Creek put a scare
crow in one of bis fields, and was
surprised a day or two ago on go
ins, to the neio to una mat a crow
had built a nest in it, and Had laid
two eggs in it.
outside portions of whiflletrees
and harrow when cultivating the
orchard; thus avoiding all bruis
ed and "barked" trees.
Pay an occasional friendly visit
to the little trees set this spring.
Rub oft unnecessary sprouts; and
make sure that no label wires
have been lett on the trees to
choke them.
Watch for tho little slugs
darkish, slimy fellows that are
likely to be on pear or cherry
leaves now. Fine, dry dust, if
thrown in tho trees, will kill ev
ery slug it covers. Oralmostany
of the regulation orchard sprays
will exterminate this pest.
One ounce of California bubach
dissolved in three gallons of wa
ter is a good, non-poisonous
spray application for cabbage
worms and lice. The imported
"Persian Insect powder" is the
same thing, but is not so fresh
and effective as the California ar
ticle.
Cabbage and other plants can
be protected from cutworms by
erecting a twn-inch-high paper
fence around each stem. Lap
the paper ends and push the
'fence" an in 3h into the soil to
hold it in place. The paper
should not come nearer to the
stem than about one and one-half
inches.
The asparagus beetle is a trou
blesome pest, not easy to control,
says' Rural New-Yorker. Cluck
ens ar-e fond of them and will rid
garden beds of the adults, but, of
course, can be of little benefit in
large nelds. Ulean cutting, es
pecially in ridge culture, keeps
them well under control in spring
but the slugs or larvae do consid
erable harm later.
Don't forget to keep picking
the cucumbers as they ripen.
Look through the vines carefully
(they have a great way of hiding
m the leaves), so that none will
be ovarlooked; for two or three
large ones going to seed will sap
all tho strength of their vine,
whereas in picking them right
along new ones will form, aud a
continued supply be secured.
The Bordeaux mixture is the
proper remedy to use for all fun
gous troubles; viz , mildew and
rust of beans; potato and tomato
rot and leaf blight; melon and cu
cumber diseases; celery leaf
blight and rust, etc. The half
strength mixture (two pounds
copper sulphate, two pounds
quicklime, fifty gallons water) is
strong enough to use in the vege
table garden, except for potatoes.
Look out for the striped bee
tles. They often attack and de
stroy melons and cucumbers ns
last as the plants appear above
the ground. An application of
wood rshes, air-slaked lime, or
gypsum, tainted with kerosene or
turpentine or carbolic acid, will
help to drive them away. If you
have only a few plants, you canH
easily protect each hill by erect
ing a mosquito netting guard ov
er it until the plants begin to run.
There are three common meth
ods of growing strawberries in
bills, in narrow matted rows, or
in wile mitt ed rows. Weprefer
the second method. Arrange the
first strong runners by hand,
spacing them properly and secur
ing each one in place with a little
soil or a small stone. Then, when
each row is lull, cut off all addi
tional runuers that may grow.
Keep the ground hoed and culti
vated until lata fall. The finish
ed row should not be wider than
fifteen or eighteen inches.
