GLASS WALLS FOR FRUIT.
The Cosmos states that the nursery
of Croux et Fils is a glass wall which
is surmounted by horizontal glass
sashes and planted with the same va
rieties of peaches, apples and pears
on each side. These espaliers also
began bearing in 1907, and both sides
have produced equally fine fruit. The
difference in temperature between
the sides of the wall is not very great,
as the southern face reflects less heat
and is therefore cooler than that of
a masonry wall, while the northern
side is warmed by the rays which
pass through the glass. A masonry
wall possesses theoreticallyone advan
tage over a glass wall, as it absorbs
during the day a greater quantity of
heat and consequently exerts a great
er heating effect at night. Longer
experience will be required to deter
mine which material is better on the
whole. The cost of construction is
practically the same for both.
VALUE OF PEA VINES.
There are many pea canneries in
Indiana and many farmers are oc
cupied in raising peas. They haul
the peas with the vines to the factory,
sell the peas, but do not consider the
value in the vines. During recent
years, however, pea vines have be
come a profitable by-product. They
are now utilized for silage, or fed to
stock in a fresh state or cured form.
Pea vine hay is considered better
than clover. It sells for $3 to $5 a
ton. It is easily cured, or if made
into silage is superior to corn silage.
If preserved in a large stack and well
tramped decay w T ill affect the surface
to the depth of only a few inches.
It is an excellent feed for dairy cows
and is also very satisfactory for beef
cattle, horses and sheep.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has recently made an extensive
investigation of this subject and pub
lished the results in a circular. Those
interested should send for it.
SCRAPING BARK FROM TREES.
As to the advisability ■of scraping
rough or shaggy bark from apple
trees, the State zoologist of Penn
sylvania has the following to say:
“This depends upon the conditions
in general. I would advise such
treatment, especially for the rough,
scaly bark of old trees; but if it be
bark that has been roughened by the
injurious action of oil sprays, or by
burning with fire or some other in
jury, I am satisfied it would be wrong,
because this is the tender bark be
neath just what a scab on an animal
is to a sore which it is protecting.
Therefore, if the bark beneath be ten
der, so that it would be injured by be
ing scraped, it is best not to do it.
In the case of an ordinary healthy
tree it is certainly best, but at in
jured places, such as above men
tioned, it is advisable to scrape gent
ly, if at all. On an old tree one can
not apply enough pressure with a
short handled hoe or bark scraper to
do any injury, and this will remove
many insect pests, such as codling
moth, woolly aphis and certain hiber
nating creatures, and expose scale in
sects and other pests to the action of
the weather, and of the insecticides
to be applied before the leaves ap
pear.”
GARDENING WITHOUT MANURE.
A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker tells how he cultivates mar
ket garden crops without buying or
hauling manure, with all land contin
uously used for hoed crops or berries,
with very little opportunity for green
manuring, with no stock except a
horse and seventy-five to one hun
dred chickens and no commercial fer
tilizer except wood ashes. His secret
of success is this:
“Nothing is burned that can be
plowed under, and all hoed crops re
ceive the best cultivation known to
modern agriculture.”
He describes his methods as fol
lows:
“Nearly all the horse manure is
spread on land in fall and spring,
and plowed under. For carrots or
mangels some hen manure is also
plowed under, but is mostly used in
drills for peas and beans in hills for
sweet corn, melons, etc., or spread
after plowing and harrowed in for
root crops. I also use litter from hen
house floors in this way for all crops,
and in drills for potatoes, and consid
er it a very valuable fertilizer. I have
wood floors in my hen houses, which
are covered with an inch or two of
loam during the summer. In the fall
dry leaves —usually maple or oak—
are spread on floor a foot deep, and
more added from time to time
throughout the winter. All dry
grain is scattered in this litter to in
duce scratching. In the spring the
floors are covered with a brown,
powderlike compost of leaves and
poultry droppings, perfectly dry and
very convenient to handle. These
finely powdered leaves furnish organ
ic matter in a form that is very quick
ly available for plant food.” —Indian,

Wasted a Fortune on Skin Trouble.
“I began to have an itching over
my whole body about seven years ago
and this settle?! in my limb, from the

great many physicians, a matter which
cost me a fortune, and after I noticed
that I did not get any relief that way,
I went for three years to the hospital.
But they were unable to help me
there. I used all the medicines that
l could see, but became worse and
worse. I had an inflammation which
made me almost crazy with pain.
When I showed my foot to my friends
they would get really frightened. I
did not know what to do. I was so

I positively lost ail hope.
“I had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies, and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en
tire inflammation had gone. I was
completely cred. I should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,
