own odor seems to bo worse than any other. They 
may be che';ked somewhat by destrorln); the ylnes 
as soon as the crop Is ofT. This destroys the eKKS 
and young then on the ylnes, and forces the older 
ones to seek food elsewhere. Nothing that will 
afford them protection during the winter should be 
left in the field. The field should be thoroughly 
plowed as soon as the crop Is off. These precautions 
are recommended for field culture, but the same, so 
far as possible, should be applied to the garden. 
The plants should be destroyed, and all Insects col¬ 
lected and killed. In spring, all bngs foj^nd should 
be destroyed, as well as the clusters of eggs. The 
eggs are slow In hatching, and a thorough going oyer 
the patch twice weekly should be sufficient. Thorough 
work one season will be manifest the next In a 
smaller crop of bugs You should send for Bulletin

raspbkrbibs Making Febblb Growth.—W hat 
Is wrong with our Cuthbert raspberries? The leaves 
curl up. the new canes do not grow more than half 
their usual height and the fruit Is small and dries up 
on the husoes. There Is no red rust on the leaves, or 
spots on the canes as with blackcaps affected with 
anthracnose. The plants affected are not all In one 
place, but scattered one and two In a place all 
through the field. c. J. D. 
Michigan. 
ANS.-It Is hard to say, but It may be that the 
plants are suffering from lack of proper fertility, or 
are getting old and make this feeble growth for lack 
of vigor. If we knew the age of the plantation, the 
character of the soil and the methods of fertilizing, 
we might perhaps give a more helpful answer. As 
It Is, It Is mostly guesswork. Can any of oui readers 
throw any light on the subject?
