In early June more than half of the peach orchards. between Beamsville and St. Cath- arines and many orchards in other localities were so badly affected that almost every leaf was distorted swollen and turning a brownish color. • Most of these trees will not enter winter nearly so healthy nor bear so large a crop next year as if they had noti been attacked by the Leaf Curl, ' ControL T.his year's experience, though a • hard one, will doubtless be of much value -to the fruit grower, for it has shown as perhaps seldom before the great importance of early spraying of peaches to prevent Leaf Curl. By early we mean before the Leaf buds have begun to swell. Sometimes late spraying, that • is spraying,after the buds Rave begug to swell, will control the disease, but ft will only do so where' the wet weather does not come until after the spraying. A single'day's rain wou not of course be sufficient to start tit.° disease.. It takes several days of' moist weather. There Is good evi- dence that even fair spraying. after the leaves have 'dropped will` also control it. The best mixture to use is lime- • Eulphur about 1 gallon to 7 gallons of water. • Soluble sulphur 12 % pounds' to 40 gallons of water will also control the disease, but is not so popular' with the. growers. as the lime -sulphur. —L, Caesar, 0.

Fly Remedies „. • The fly, like the ,Poor, is always ,witb us in summer -time. -- In spite of many campaigns having for their slo- gan, "Swat the fly," he is still with us • and likely to be until the end of time. , Flies are a terrible nuisance in the home: in the dairy and in the stable. They torment the very life out of cows. It is strange that man with all- • hiinventive genius, has not yet been able to overcome hie agile enemy, the fly. • • Up to the present, no very satis- factory remedy for cow -flies has been • *orked out. The most we can do is to -apply something which keeps them oft the cows for a time. Tie number of fly remedies is legion. There are several very good patent remedies. A good home-made mixture con- sists of two quarts of fish -oil or any kind of cheap oil or grAase, one-half pint coal -oil, and four tablespoonfuls of crude carbolic acid, thoroughly Mixed and apPlied to all parts of the cow except udder and teats, by means of a cloth or brush.

This condition of the hide of the animal is similar to that of people; it gives the same degree of uncomfortableness Act the pig and is caused in the 'same :man- ner. Consequentlyeethe -saittte method of prevention and treatment may be carried out. • In the first place, "an ounce, of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and .the prevention is shelter. No. matter what kind of stock - is in the pasture, shade is essential, and much more -so is it for pigs on account of the thin coating of hair on their bodies. If the .pasturefor pigs is so situated that there at.i:e no trees to afford shade to the animals it 'would be just as well to keep them' shut up during the hottest parts of the day and allow them to run out during,,the evening, night and • early morning hours.• By keeping -them in a pen that is somewhat darkenedr they miss b,oth the hot rays of ethe sun and the flies that are always so bad around a stable of any kind, during the hot weather. •. - •• Some people provide a "hog wal-. love' in -their pasture which is a very' good thing, but the location should be some place in the shade, as fs a weIl-known fact that the hide will blistee far quicker when wet than when dry. A pig seems to think that a wallow is an. essential thing, and if he persuades the .tariner into thinking the earne, the farmer should • lead him' to believe •that during the heat of the day it is the best time to •keep out of -it. If the pigs have hecoitie sunburned at all, it ie .well to keep them inside tor a -few day e and thoroughly gi'ea,se • eeir bodies, with ionic, nice smooth greitee e nett. aa vaseline. The grease ;ende to keep the air trout the irri- tated skin and ease the tinconifort- ablenese of 'the animal.

OR. the fartffe-r who is raising hogs, one of the greatest problems is summer pasture. ,A new luxuriant growth of. greeu grass is soon eaten off when the dry hot season comes and it .is just at this tilde yvhen the stockman • needs some form of succulent feed • for his stock. When the 'stock are running on pasture they are getting 'back to nature and there is nothing like good green feed as a conditioner for the animals. ••• As for forage crops in this coun- try alfalfa and rape -seem to give the best- results, although anything that will produce a good green growth in a dry. season is all, right.

White grubs are the larvae of the large dark .brown May beetles, or "June Bugs," as they are commonl$ called, 'and, being underground feeder's; are very difileint to control. great variety- of experiments hams been made with chemicals of man, sortayibut, none has proved successful. be only method of contiol is the a.4oPtion of a system ot rotation al crops. No field should be left in grass for more than three years. An old Pastime, When broken up, is often found to be full_of these grubs, and they will attack the roots of any 'plants -that are sown in place of their ordinary food which has been removw ed. Corn and potatoes will suffer, severely, but clover .,is least affected by them yai&rnay be seeded down with rye. After the second year any crop will itsualfy be safe. Deep ploughing in October before the weather becomes cold will expose the grubs and destroy many. Pigs and poultry, crows and other birds and skunks greedily devoid them. Where • an old geld is found tto be badly in. tested, it is a good plan 'to turn in some hogs; they will soon root out and eat up all the grubs. If the field is large it would be well to confine' them with hurdles to a smalli-Aortion at a time, and when that is, elea'red move 'them. on to° a fresh feeding -ground. •• Wireworma are the larvae of Click beetles, 'so called from their curious habit of springing up in the air with a "click" when laid upon their backs. The 'beetles' are long and narrow, rounded above, with very short legs, iend usually dull gray or black in: color. The grubs ate long and rou.nd, with .a very hard skin, front which they get their name of Wire - worms, and yellow or whitish ill, color. Their life -history is very simi- • lar to that of the White Grubs, as they thrive in old pastures and take two or three years to mature. They, • feed upon the roots of any plants that may be grown where they are, and are especially injurious to corn and potatoes, in the latter of which. they often burrow great iholes. As in' the case of the White Grubs, no treatment of the soil with poisons of any kind has been found effective. There is a prevalent idea that salt will kill them, btit this. is an entire mistake. The only remedy is a short. ,rotation of crops as is the ease of White Grubs, Ploughing in August and cross -ploughing in September will destroy great numbers. Clean cultivation, leaving'no weeds or oth- er shelter .for the beetles, in fence corners and elsewhere is also of im- portance. Flax is a particularly val- uable crop for sowing on old sod, as the worms injure it but very little. Break up the old pastures Is the advice all farmers should fcillow.—a Dr. C. J. S. Bethune, 0.4.
