Following description of the work of tbe raspberry-cans girdler Is taken from a letter reoeived at the Divis ion of Zoology of ths Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, by Prof. B. A. Surface, tbe State Zoologist : My raspberry stalks are mostly Cuthberts. On tbe canee, s few In- ohes down from the top (perhaps from four to eight) there sppesr two oi roles, about an inch apart, as if girdled, and between these d roles can be aeen a tiny ponotnre, in whloh there is sn egg. Tbe plant above three girdles immediately wilts and dies. Tbe canes breaf Very readily at these circles, and I havs tried to p'.ok and burn them, but after the top bas once been removed tbe oper ation is repeated a little lower down. Tbe pests also work on ths tender new branches." . Prof. Surface replied by ssylng: "The damage is done by ths Rasp berry. sane Girdler. You should at onoe clip off the canes just below where they bave been girdled sod burn them. A beetle inserts Its eggs in the twig, and from the egg comes tbe larva whloh bores In the cane. It develops Into a beetle for next year's brood. If ths top breaks off entirely, the larva is liable to be oar- ried in the parts whloh, fall upon the ground, and these should be at once gathered and burned. Tba girdling is for the purpose of oheoking the flow of sap and making ths canes break at a place where It will be suit able for the developement of thia pest."

Mast Hops Correspondent What Rural Free Delivery Does Thirty. Tws Thousand Koutae Bring tbe OHy to the Farmei'a Door Ths telephone connection brings the distant city to ths farmer's door. But Rural Fiee Delivery does more It brings him the dally newspaper, telling all that has happened around the world In the last ' twenty-four honrs. And it is ths daily paper that has "widened bis horizon from the village post-office to the other side of ths globe. Statesmen and parlia ments aadifamous personalities bave entered his personal field of conscious ness. New Inventions, great achieve, menla, reach him now so that he thrills with the rest of the world at their beppenlng. He is living with his time Instead of following it.

Bjrface tha State Zoologist, for instructions m regard to destroying the cabbage ' worm, which has become quite a serious pert of the cabbage crop. For -the benefit of all growers, State Zool ogist Surface has given out ths fol lowing information : ' "Ths cabbage worm Is most easily destroyed by the use of an arsenical application. Most of our successful, cabbage growers use two pounds of arsenate of lead In fifty gallons of' water, or one pound of Paris green In tbe same amount of water. Tbe ar senate of lead sticks better than tha Paris green, espeoically on cabbage leaves, and Is to bs preferred The liquid bearing the poison should be blown well around the cabbage leaves with a good fine spray nozzle, apply ing it as a fine mist but not In drops. It sticks much better when put on In fine mist tbsn when pouted on from s sprinkling can or otherwise applied In drops. "It It bs not convenient to apply ihs poison as a spray It can be mixed with thirty times its bulk of Paris reen or sir-slaked lime, and applied a a dust The best results from thia. will come making the application :n tbe evening, or in the morning while the dew is on. The ose of sr. seniles In ths dust or powdered form U recommended, especially on small premises where the owner does not have a spray pump. "There is no need to fear poisoning onsomers by applying arsenical pois ons to cabbage for the cabbage worms. The heads form from the inside and the constant tendency of the growth Is to spread or open ths poisoned leives, snd thus they are gradually removed. Also a few of the outer leaves srs removed in preparing cab. bsge for the table, and thus what ever poison may adhere to It Is taken away. "I have never knownof a ease of a person being poisoned by tha spraying or dusting of cabbage, and,' Indeed, it Is estimated that it would take two or three hundred heads to carry enough poison to have' soy serious effect on a person. The extensive growers sll over this state resort to poison to keep tbe chewing pests in check, snd especially apply this for the green cabbage worm, the same as for ths potato beetle." aarad With A Hot Iron or scalded by overturned kettle-cut with a knife-bruised by slammed door-iojured Ly a gun or in any other . way-the thing needed at onoe is Bucklea'a Atoica Salve to subdue . inflammation and kill tbe pain.
