For the body of the monster take a long mnngel xmrtzel, a large parsnip, or a mammoth beet. Into this thrust feathers along what is tobe the back and sides, with two set in the head for horns. For the tail, the feathe . 'are mounted on light twigs, the object of , this being to keep the suspended monster lively by turning with the wind.

No farmer who has the land to spare should be deterred from setting, out an apple orchard of good fruit by the fear of- no market, or, in other words, overpro- : duction. The population is constantly in- creasing, and the apple is the king of American fruits, sought for everywhere, ? and only in exceptional cases and limited districts is there in any year such an ex- ‘ cess over the demand as to render an ; orchard of good fruit unprofitable. As many as 50,000 barrels of American apples have been sold in London in a single week, and the demand for them is steadily in- ' creasing, And England is only one of the 2 many countries to which they are sent. . The manufacturers of pure' vinegar in this country also make a market for an immense amount of the more common varieties. The fear of apple growing be- ‘ing overdone has been entertained by some people, from time to time, for as many as forty years back; nevertheless a good orchard has continued to be a good thing to have, and it is quite safe to me dict that it will be the same hereafter for first class apples of good keeping qualities. The. amount exported to other countries has grown to such an extent that it is stated that the value of it is almost equal to onevseventh of the estimated merchan- . disc value of the. whole amount produced. Two small spin wheels are projected forward of the eyes, to add horror to the look. They are ‘made of circular pieces of tin, about four inches acrosa These are cut from the edge to near the center 'lnto about. ten or more radiations, and the parts given a slight twist, Windmill like. A wire nail through the center attaches each wheel to the end of a stick. and on this it should revolve in every slight breeze. In the last annual report of the New Jersey State Horticultural society, along with much other mutter of practical im- portance, is a communication on the apple root louse from Mrs. Mary Treat, Vine- laud, N. J, This communintzon is of very general interest, for the root. lice are far more destructive hovegetatiou than are those that inhabit tho stem and leaves. Following are sane oftfi’esfhteâ€" ments made. in condensed form: The root louse increases even more rapidly than do plant lice, and when ready to migrate they know enough to go to new pastures to found colonies on apple The journal quoted from says that 5 grape vines planted at intervals of twelve f feet, alternating on each side so that 3 plants may not come opposite, will com- ;i pletely cover the trellis and arbor over- 3 head and at the same time bear full loads- of fruit if annually shortened in to pre- ‘ vent- too great elongation of the main ‘ vines. The leading shoots should be cut, ‘ back annually to about six feet, and the spurs to two buds each. If grapes are not desired any good climber may be substi- inted, and in this case, after the trellis is fully covered, all that will be necessary 1 will be to keep down too rampant growth. For suspending it. a cord which en- circles the body is carried up to one end of ahalf hoop shaped iron rod. the other end of which is bolted to a pole that is raised slightly above one of the trees to be pro. tected. Then the monster bobs about and turns with the wind, the spin wheels fly and clatter, and altogether there is a dreadful look to strike terror to evil doing birds, even those disposed to boldness. Every season innumerable contrivances are invented and employed to frighten birds away from cherry laden trees and other fruits. The one represented in the cut was originally suggested in Popular Gardening, and, it is claimed, has been found effectual. The posts rest. on stones sunk a little into the ground. The ts may be 0“ :mydesired size of tim er. Cap pieces ummect them along each side, and cross pieces join the opposite posts, Wire is used {or the lattice work. Farmers are often puzzled as to the style of arbor or trellis best suited to vines of rapid growth. The trellis shown in the cut. is of simple construction, and is advised by Farm, Field and Stockman for grape vines, along with other sorts: FARM AND GARDEN. Protection Against Birds.

The rule is to measure the spaces to be filled with hay and multiply the length by thewidch and that by the-depth, all in feet, then divide by 500, which is the number of cubic feet commonly taken to represent a tonof average hay. Some- times, owing to quality‘aml condifion‘4Q0 cubic feet will weigh a ton, when in other cases 600 may be required. Bagging Tomatoes. All have heard of bagging grapes as a preventive of mildew and rot. Progres~ sire men who have tried the bags on to memes say than the tomatoes thus covered were so delicate in color, so very smooth and perfect that members of the house- hold did not, upon first seeing them, know what they were. Now we hear of perfect specimens of pears and plums raised in this way. It would not pay in g money sense to do such work, but it might well serve to delight and instruct the little folk.

As for artificial remedies, Professor Riley says: “The best mode to get rid of the apple root louse is to drench the roots of the infested tree with hot water. Bub to render this process effectual the \ 'nter must be apphed in quantities large enough to penetrme to every part of the infested roots."

Wherever the insect worksmmall as it is. it may easily be recognized by the pecul- iarly bluish white cottony matter which it excretes from its body and which is never met. with in the case of the common apple tree plant louse that inhabits the leaves and tips of twigs. Fortunately, there are two or three natural checks to this pest, or it would soon destroy all the trees. The nine spotted lady bug is one of these. Although the insect usually confines itv self to the roots of the tree, yetn few may be occasionally found on the suckers that spring up around the butt of the trunk, and even on the trunk and limbs, especi- ally in places where the branch has been amputated and nature is closing up the 01d wound by a circle of bark.
