This troublesome pett is responsible for great loss of healthy foliage on these plants annually in many gardens, and in some situations they have already begun their work of destruction. The flies lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves, which in a short time hatch out, and the larvie at once burrow their way into the tissues of the leaves, where they are then safe from the effect of insecticides, and cannot be removed without injury to the foliage. The only method of extirpation is to pick them out with a sharp-pointed knife or the point of a needle; leaves that are badly infestea are best removed altogether and burnt. This, of course, causes a severe check to the development of the plants, and efforts must be made to assist the plants to make new and vigorous foliage as quickly as possible by applying two or three dressings of nitrate of soda to the roots with an interval of ten days between each application at the rate of half-anounce per square yard, not more. Keep it off the foliage and stems, and water it in if necessary also spray the underside of the foliage once or twice a week with petroleum emulsion carefully prepared, extract of quassia, or clear diluted soot water, to make it distasteful to the flies, and to prevent them from invading the leaves and there depositing their eggs.

Lnless these preventive measures are persevererd with to keep this pest in check the foliage will speedily be destroyed, and the development of the plants is hopeless. CUCUMBERS IN FRAMES will now have made lateral growths and set a few fruits; pinch out the points of the shoots at one or two leaves beyond the fruits as soon as they are set, fertilise the flowers at mid-day when they are dry to ensure a good set, and water more frequently. When tne fruits are developing assist two or three times a week with weak liquid manure, syringe the plants morning and afternoon on all fine days, and close the frame when the sun is waning, so as to conserve as much heat as possible. Admit air on the back of the frame on sunny mornings before the temperature is run up too high, as this often is the cause of failure. It has been stated that cucumbers can be grown without ventilation in houses where copious atmospheric moisture can be kept up; this is quite true, but to secure the best results in frames air must be admitted, or shading used during bright sunshine.

EARLY CAULIFLOWERS Where these are required to be kept for later use they must lifted with good of soil to their roots, and heeled in a cool shaded position, and syringed over morning and evening, or they may be kept in a cool dark shed or cellar, hung up heads downwards, and syringed over daily. They may be kept in this way in good condition for a fortnight. CATERPILLARS ON CABBAGES have in many places become most troublesome. Syringe over with a solution of salt and water, two ounces to a gallon of water, and in bad attacks hand picking must be resorted to or irreparable damage will speedily be done. FRUIT TREES.

Foliage that is infested with aphis should be vigorously syringed with petroleum emulsion, and the annlication repeated three days later to destroy the insects hatched out of the eggs which the first spraying would not affect. WORK FOR THE WEEK IN THE GARDEN PANSIES AND VIOLAS. All faded blooms should frequently picked off to prevent them from forming seed pods, as these would speedily shorten their flowering period. Sprinkle around the plants with soot, and apply one ounce of superphosphate and half an ounce of sulphate of ammonia per square yard, but keep it off the foliage and stems. Hoe it lightly in, and afford occasional applications of weak liquid manure.

MILDEW ON ROSES Keep a sharp look out for this fungi, as the recent cold winds and low night temperatures may cause a severe attack. Spray the undeiside of the foliage with petroleum emulsion, with a little flower of sulphur added. Repeat the application if necessary, and in bad attacks spray with sulphide of potassium (liver of sulphur), oue ounce to three or four gallons of water. dahlias These are growing but slowly. Assist with ouuce of superphosphate, and half an ounce of sulphate of ammonia per square yard, und hoe it lightly in.

XUo TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTION. A meeting of the General Conunitteo of the Coventry branch of the National Lifeboat Institution was held on Saturday evening, when the Assistant Secretary (Mr. P. Mills) presented the annual accounts, and the remittance to be sent to headquarters in London was decided upon. Aluerman A.

H. Drinkwater presided, and the other members also present were Messrs. Win. Ligging (hon. secretary), J.

Hams, and W. Neale. The statement of accounts showed that the amount collected on the flag day was 302 Bs. and expenses incurred were 35., leaving a balance of ss. 4cL to be carried to the general account.

There was a balance in hand of ss. 7d. (which included a donation of £3 from the Hillman Motor Co.) from last year, the total income beingiJ4ss IDs. which was made up as follows; Balance of flag day account, sa. collections in factories and workshops, £'l37 lls.

3d. Alderman Drinkwater said that they could very well congratulate themselves upon the result. He did not think that any member of the committee expected that they would do as well as last year; it was practically impossible to do that, but taking all things into consideration they had done exceedingly well. There was a great shortage of flag-sellers, and that had a lot to do with the result. One of the pleasing features, however, was that it was the first time since 1914 that they had held the meeting without war hanging over them; that was a greater pleasure to them even than having a few hundred pounds to send to the society.

He was very glad to see several of the old members back again, including Mr. Jackson, one of the oldest and most respected members in the lifeboat cause. He was grateful to the factories and workshops for the assistance which they had rendered this year, and to the Licensed Association, whose subscription was very much welcomed. Ho also thanked the ladies and all those who had assisted, and the Fire Brigade and the Associated Fire Brigades (Hear, hear.i He was still looking forward and hoped that they would always be able to hold their own with the lifeboat appealed to everyone. Mr.

Liggins and his daughter had done exceedingly good work, and it would have been impossible to have found anyone with the work more at heart. Speaking of the assistant secretary (Mr. F. Mills), he had nothing to say but good about him; long might he remain with them. (Hear, hear.) Alderman Drinkwater then recommended that £445 be remitted to the Lifeboat Institute, London, as their effort for the year.

With the subscriptions added Coventry would stand very well in the list. Mr. Liggins, in seconding, said that they could congratulate themselves upon the amount that was being sent up, taking into consideration the difficulties Coventry was labouring under this year. ITie recommendation was carried unanimously. Mr.

Jackson and Mr. Mills each returned thanks for the remarks made by tho president, and the meeting closed.

were never considered of much value as layers until the Indian Runner appeared, hut this very prohflc little duck has quite revolutionised all ideas on the subject, for there are now strains of Runners which will average 200 eggs a year, thus exceeding the record of a good many flocks of hens. The eggs of the Runners, moreover, are not as strongly flavoured as those of larger breeds, and may be used for all the purposes to which ordinary eggs are put. They are produced, with short breaks, all the year round, and the birds are not nearly so susceptible to sudden changes of temperature as are the other Then, the Runner is such an active forager that it will, on a good range, find two tlurds of its own food for nine months of IN DUN RUNNER DUCK. In addition to that, it is a vary light feeder at all times, so that the profit from its eggs may be considered proportionately higher than that realised upon others. Another great point in favour of the Runner is that it does not need swimming water.

It may be kept in perfect health on dry pastures, provided it has water to drink, and that fact should commend the breed to farmers who often have to give up duck-keeping because of the fouling of the drinking water. Indeed, as one of those few breeders who were the first to take up Indian Runners many years ago, I can confidently assert that, given a good run, there is no other class of poultry that will yield so satisfactory a return as this one, and that without taking into consideration the high value of the Runner as a destroyer of soil pests. Hints on Hedge-TrimminO, Hedge-trimming is work that is usually done between hay-time and harvest, or on wet days during this season when other operv tions have to be suspended. It is, neverlbe less, a very essential duty, and one can gene rally tell whether a farm or other holding is in capable and industrious hands by a glance at the hedgerows. A good medium-weight sickle or brushing-hook, and a forked stick about the length of arm are the only tools required, and the first part of the job is to clear the ditch or hedge-bottom of such herbage as may be growing there.

This is gathered up with the hook and stick into small heaps as the work proceeds. If the hrushings consist mainly of grasses they may be carted direct to the cattle, but should they ba composed of bramble, dock, and such lika they can be taken away with the hedge-trimmings, and either burnt ash being carefully collected whew dry, for It is a valuable potash fertiliser) or used as a base for corn and hay In using the hoak upon the hedge the stroke should always be an upward one, for this tends to produce a denser growth, and the downward slash is liable to destroy the uniformity and loosen the texture. The oftener hedges are cut the better they will become. Newly-planted ones should be "brushed over at least twice during summer, and weak places helped if need be by poles or hurdles. Shears are best for use on garden hedges of privet, yew, and other ornamental shrubs, and the young growths of these should never be permitted to get before being clipped.

The Ploweb Garden. July the best month for propagating many flowers by cuttings and other means. Carnations can be layered as shown in the illustration. The process simply consists of stripping tho lower leaves off an unflowered shoot, cutting a slit underneath the halfripened part of the stem, and pegging down in a mound of sandy soil. Keep the cleft open by a few grains of sand, and ao not- allow tho soil to get too dry.

Pansies and violas are increased by breaking off young shoots at the base, and planting firmly round the edge of a pot of sandy loam, a little old manure being put at the base of the pot over the drainage, cuttings are best placed in closed frame MOW A OAKNATIOH IS LATCRED. for a fortnight, out they wiU often strike satisfactorily outside If £ept cooL Roses may be budded now or increased by cuttings about lOin. long inserted to over half their length in a shady border. Hydrangeas, pinks, pelargoniums, helianthemums, aubretias, alpine phloxes, and many others may also be propagated by cuttings'and the help of a frame or glass-covered box. The flowering branches of rambler roses should be cut out as soon as blossom is over where room is required, or encouragement for new wood.

Sweetpeas must have flowers removed daily if a continuance of bloom is desired. Exhausted growths may be cut away, and the plants given weak liquid manure or soot water every week or so. Though the beautiful Madonna lily should toot he disturbed more often than need be, transplanting the bulbs should be done as soon as the flower stems have faded. As this universal favourite sends up a leafy growth in autumn, this making it quite distinct in habit from all other lilies, early planting is essential if a serious weakening of the plants and posable disease are to be avoided. The Madonna lily is a sun-lover, and enjoys a medium, well-drained soil containing some uld crushed mortar.

After working the bed to a depth of about eighteen inches, tread it fairly firm, dust the bulbs with powdered sulphur, and plant them shallow with the upper points just at the surface. Water well after planting, and do not allow the bulbs to get too dry until the green growth appears, after which the plants will take care of themselves.

The time in which feathering of chickens takes place differs very much, and is due more or less to individual constitution and feeding. Chickens acquiring their feathers slowly are at no disadvantage in fact, provided the process is not too slow, it is better for fowls to grow a good frame first and their feathers afterwards. Of course, if feathering is too long delayed nature must be assisted. Generally this condition happens with late hatched chickens, or where the freshness has been taken from the land by former stock. Sometimes chickens seem to receive a check when neither feathers nor frame make any progress.

It is then wise to give the birds an entire change of surroundings and conditions, such as fresh fields to roam in, or new pens of turned up land to run on. Slow-feathering will be; found where the birds are fed on the dry-mash system, rather than where fed on the soft food principle, and for this reason I think it advisable to use wet mash during the feathering season. A good thing to add to the mash for feather forming is a little pea or bean meal, as it assists greatly. A good proportion is one-fifth part added to four-fifths of other meals. Linseed is also benficial at this time in the morning mash, in the proportion of a third as much linseed as pea or bean-meal.

Keep the birds out of damp and draughts at this trying period, and see that they are provided with plenty of good cloaji water and fresh green foocls. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, JULY 18 AND 19, 1919, HELPFUL HINTS. Oue of the secrets of successful poultry keeping is variety of feeding The open months will more or less remedy the shortcomings in feeding by the fact that the birds will get a good chance of foraging for themselves. allow draughts. Fit the sleeping apartments with windows and shutters which oau be opened and shut as the weather permits.

Open-fronted runs are advisable to admit sunlight and air, but must be constructed to keep out cold winds and rain. Outbreaks of roup arc common after weather such as have been experiencing. The smell of roup is very easily detected. It is a good plan if you suspect roup to go into the fowl-house after the birds have gone to roost, and if any are suffering from the complaint they should be removed and methods of prevention adopted for the rest of the flock. A few drops of disinfectant in the drinking water will be beneficial.

The only sure way of effecting economy in purchasing fowls is by getting young ones, and it must also be remembered that if one wishes to purchase good stock from noted strains he must be prepared to pay a good price for them. The idea that a male bird increases the eggyield is a fallacy, and where breeding is not intended it is a waste of money to keep one. Even when breeding June is plenty late enough to continue with the cockerel. If too much cut green bone is fed to fowls it will cause worms, but if judiciously fed it is one of the best kinds of animal foods. One ounce per head every other day is a good allowance.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. CHICKEN QUERIES. Satisfied for appreciation of past articles and advice. Glad you have been so successful through following the same. Now as regards the first part of your letter to the thin and yellow droppings of some of your chickens, reduce the fish-meal to one-half the quantity, or try meat-meal for a change, also drop the maize-meal, and try how your birds get along then.

The following is a good feed for three to six old chickens: Scalded bran, part; scalded biscuit meal, one part; pea or bean meal, one and ground oats, one part. This to be given on a moist but crumbly state. Of course you may not care tp depart from the system of feeding, but I always find that slow-feathering is found where the birds are fed entirely on the drysystem, and for this reason I find it advisable to use wet mash for one meal a day as the chicks get older. As regards grain, give good heavy whole oats and wheat, but omit the maize untii the colder weather. If you are giving three feeds a day let the first be of meals, and the latter two of grain.

Bury all grain in good- clean litter. Allow about one handful to each two birds. Give green food alternately, as you think fit. If you decide to give the wetmash. feed you could close the dry-mash hopper for a few hours daily.

Give soft food of a nourishing nature with a little ginger added, and give a camphor pill every day for a week. Wash out the nostrils with warm water to which a little boric powder has been added. PULLET WITH WORMS the bird a turpentine capsule, and on the following day give her a dose of castor a small teaspoonful. Repeat this treatment every few days until you think her cured. It is advisable also to keep her isolated from your other fowls, and see that her excreta is got together and burned.

HEART DISPLACED BY FLATULENCE CURED BY DR. TAB Mrs. Cochrane, 34, Headcorn Road, Tottenham, London, N. 17, says: years I had suffered with indigestion. In 1915 I had two terrible attacks which compelled me to keep to bed for weeks each time, and again in 1916 and 1917 I had the same experience.

I was in pain all over, and wind accumulated in such quantities that my heart was pushed out of place and used to palpitate violently. Neuritis in my head was another affliction, and I was terribly nervous. A friend told mo of Dr. Tablets. I had had medicine and other things without getting any benefit, but on taking the Tablets I soon felt better.

I took Dr. Instant Relief for constipation, and now I have quite recovered my health.

Edward Cheshire, well known in the civic and commercial life of the Midlands for many years. He had reached the advanced age of 78, but continued to take an aative interest in public affairs until July Bth, when an attack of pneumonia compelled him to take to his bed. The deceased gentleman was the mainstay of Brewery Company for a long period, and when the business was merged in that of Messrs. Mitchells and Butlers he joined the directorate of that company. A man of sound business and shrewdness, his counsel was greatly valued by his colleagues.

In the midst of a crowded life Mr. Cheshire found time to devote to the pubhc welfare. His unstinted services as Mayor of Smethwick have left their impress on the borough, in which ho founded the Cheshire Nursing Home. He gave of his means liberally to a great many beneficent institutions. Tbe Hospital, of which he was president for a number of years, will in particular miss his generosity and solicitude.

He is survived by Mrs. Cheshire, who is herself, unhappily, ill in a nursing home, and by three married daughters. The funeral took place at Smethwick Old Church on Thursday.
