The old-time fruit -bearing mul- berry has lost its place In the gar- dens of southern Ontario. Batter fruits have crowded It out, until it is rarely aeon in the modern garden or fruit plantation. Sometime; plant- ed as a food tree for birds by bird enthusiasts or by those desiring to play with silk worm culture In this northern climate. During the past year, through southwestern Ontario mulberry trees have been offered to the public by traveling agents. 'i'1le experiences of the past with the mul- berry as a fruit producing tree and as a food producing tree tor silk woratas in Ontario and the United States would indicate that nothing very great by way of achievement or profit is likely to follow the plant- ing of any of the mulberry varieties in Ontario. One tree for the birds is probably all .any one farm can af- ford. .As for the development or mul- berry plantations for silk culture, s,lch hardly seems profitably possible 'antler the climatic and labor condi- tints of Ontario—L, Stevenson, Sec - eery, Department of Agriculture, fronto. ilc,me-Made Spray deeps Flies Away. By preventing flies from torment- lug the cows a much greater flow of milk is obtained during the summer manths and the remainder of the lac- tation period. The following home- made mixture has given good results. It is better than several other mixtures tried and quite aa efficient as the prepared sprays costing a dol- lar per gallon. It is made as follows: lee quarts of any -standard coal tar dip, 1% quarts fish oil, 1 pint oil of tar, 1 quart coal o1I, pint oil of eucalyptus. Mix in ten gallons of lukewarm soft water in which a bar of laundry soap has been dissolved. Spray twice a day, in the 'morning after milking and in the afternoon when cows are brought in for silage or green feed. When a half -barrel cart with spray nozzle attachment is used, two men can spray a herd of forty cows In ten minutes. This iuix- ture'is not perfect and does not keep all the flies away and, furthermore, it leaves the coat rather harsh and causes dust to adhere; however, it is very beneficial and practical.. Shelter from the hot sun of sum- mer must be provided ifefficient and economical production- • is to bei expected. Importing Quail. A consignment oflive quail from Spokane has been received by the Provincial Game Board, ,for release in the uplands district. These birds were given in exchange .for Mongo- lian pheasa'iits. Another consign- ment is expected from the Eastern, States in exchange for pheasants. A Convincing Argument.

Weed. Seed :Spread by alntattre. It is quite generally known that weed seeds pass through the diges- tive tracts of animals and still rare. iln viable. The manure will contain t'.cse seeds, and the result is that a field may become Infested with a eed plants, some of a vary noxious char - eater. In spite of this fact, precau- tions are not generally observed in the feeding of screening:; which con- tain seeds of noxious weeds. As a result of experiments at the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, it was found that in feeding certain seeds to cows the germination may even be increased after having passed through the digestive tract. Curled dock, a very common farm weed, germinated only four per cent. In its natural condition. A quantity of this seed was fed to a cow, and 100 such seeds were placed in a germinator. Ninety-eight out of the one hundred grew. The same is true to some extent of lambs' quarters, often known as pigweed. The seed of this weed germinated 62 per cent.. before feeding, 58 per cent. after feeding. The germination of quack :rass seemingly was not much affect- ed, as a germination of 85 per cent. ,vas secured befoee feeding, and 80 per cent. after feeding. The viability of Canada thistle seed was decreased to some extent, but enough seed re- mained to infest a field. In "view of the foregoing figures, lie farmer should be very careful in the use of screenings. They should either be ground to the very ileest possible condition, so as to crush all weed seeds, or else they sho'ild be fed to such animals as sheep, which grind up and -thoroughly destroy the ordinary weed seeds. • Farquhar Me. amt :ors. 0-,etn'getle, firs, D. .

(Contributed :);e Ontario P,partment of Agrleulture, Toronto.) The most can:ream ire -et enemy of currants and g.,. s'b"i•ries is the cur- rant and g el,, rry warm. The larvae attach the foliage of goos'e- 1,cer:ies and of red and white currants but seldom injure that of black cur- rants. At first they work chiefly in the central part of the bush. strip- ping the leaves nearly all off there and doing much damage before they are observed. Later they may de- vour the foliage any place. It is, common to see nearly all the leaves eaten off numerous bushes. Life History. The life history of the insect Is as follows: The adults, which are known as sawflies, are small four winged flies about a quarter of an inch in. length. The female has the• abdomen yellowish and the rest of the body blackish in color. The male is for the most part blackish or black. The flies appear in spring very soon after the leaves have ex- panded. Eggs are laid on the under surface of the leaves in chains along the main veins. The young larvae on hatching feed upon the foliage, and become full grown in, two or three weeks. Then they drop to the ground and form little cases in which they- pupate, a new brood of files emerge, lay their eggs, and ..,from these there comes a second brood of larvae which may be seen on the plants at the time when the currants are ripe. When these larvae are full grown they enter the soil, form little cases 'or cocoons, and remain there till the next year, when they pupate and emerge as adults. Method of Control. These -are easy insects to kill. All currant bushes and gooseberries should be sprayed with -from two to three pounds arsenate of lead. paste, or .half that amount of the powder form, in forty gallons of water as soon as the leaves have become well expanded. Particular care should be taken to spray thoroughly the inner parts of the bush. This will kill all the first brood. If a second brood appears hellebore should be used in- stead of arsenate of lead, in the pro- portion of one ounce to one gallon of water. Arsenate of lead would be dangerous on the ripe fruit, The insect occurs everywhere in the Pro- wince, and everyone should prevent his plants being weakened iiird ser- iously injured by it, especially as it is so easy to control. Note: Helebore loses its insecti- cidal proper1.es unless k'pt in air- tight :packa s - i,:' Caesar, O A. C �llede; AUCTION SALE OF GRAY-DORT SPECIAL AUTO- MOBILE at Paan &; .F oota's, Garage.
