''- i'. D., Oakland. — Your rosea are 

 Innibled with tlie rose aphis, a very com- 

 mon pest in the spring and when tlie 

 plants are making their most vigorous 

 growth. Sprap them with a solution of 

 whale oil soap, one pound to five gallons 

 of water, and apply warm. 



R. D., Salinas. — You can get the year 

 book of the Department of Agriculture 

 by applying to your member of Congress. 

 It is worth getting and keeping, as it 

 contains very many papers of value to 

 farmers. 



A young farmer asks our opinion of 

 the influence of the moon on the weather. 

 It has none. This is shown by the fact 

 that on the 24th of March they had 

 heavy rains in Southern California, and 

 there was none at all in the north. And 

 this frequently occurs, that one jiart of 

 the State is drenched, while the rest is 

 in sunshine. This even occurs in i)lace8 

 but a few miles apart, and yet we do not 

 think that each section has a separate 

 moon all to itself to regulate the weather 

 for it. 



J. H., Oakland, a.sks for the best grape 

 vine to grow for shade, fruit being no 

 object. Probably the Pierce, or the Im- 

 proved Isabella — Isabella regia — as it is 

 sometimes known, would answer the 

 purpose as well as anything we know of. 

 It is a free grower, has abundant foliage, 

 deep green in color, and in addition is a 

 free bearer of good fruit, to which we 

 suppose our correspondent would not ob- 

 ject if he got the shade. 



E. S. P., San Jose, sends us ivy leaves 

 covered with scale and ask the name and 

 the remedy. The scale is the Aspidiotus 

 rapa.x and the remedy, the kerosene 

 emulsion, for the making of which direc- 

 tions have already been given in these 

 columns. 



Notes in Season. 



Persons owning bees and not located 

 near streams of water, should furnish 

 them fresh water daily, as it will save 

 time, which to the bees means honey, as 

 it means money to us. 



When the young queen is out, it is 

 well to add a frame of eggs and larvae. 

 This will furnish employment for the 

 bees, and if the queen is lost on her 

 bridal tour, furnish the means of rearing 

 another. 



There is nothing that arouses the anger 

 of bees and causes a quicker resentment 

 than crushing them between combs and 



under hive cover.s By using some kind 

 of mat over the frames a large part of 

 this difficulty will be removed. 



One who has never cared for bees 

 shoidd remember that bees, like ani- 

 mals, are very apt to return to their old 

 homes if they are near by. In buying a 

 hive get them some distance from where 

 you wish to keep them, or you may find 

 them gone some day.
