Grimm’s Galvanized Corrugated Wire Lathing 
requires no furring on account 
of the V-shaped corrugations 
which are imbedded at intervals 
of seven inches. 
This feature alone is worth 
considering, but that’s not all. 
It WILL NOT RUST as it is 
heavily galvanized with the fin¬ 
est grade of Western Spelter, 
and is much easier to handle and 
will conform to irregular curves 
much better than any other form 
of metal or wood lath. 
Walls or ceilings plastered on 
this lathing WILL NOT 
CRACK OR DROP OFF, ow¬ 
ing to its great keying quali¬ 
ties, which we will explain if 
you will drop us a card asking 
for our booklet No. fir. 
“Note the V” 
Our general catalog will also 
be mailed free upon request, which describes our entire line, such as Greening’s Patent Trussed 
Steel Wire Lathing, Buffalo Crimped Wire Concrete Reinforcing, Wire Cloth of all kinds and 
Wire and Artistic Metal Work for all purposes. DROP US A LINE AT ONCE.

appeared to threaten great danger to this 
vitally important crop of the irrigated 
regions of the West. The bureau’s ex¬ 
perts have been studying it since the be¬ 
ginning, have been engaged in importing 
its natural enemies from Europe (it is a 
European insect), and have now discov¬ 
ered a method by which the pest can be 
handled after the first crop of alfalfa has 
been harvested. It is hoped that in time 
some other means will be discovered 
whereby the important first crop can be 
saved. 
A Manure Water Sack 
R OSES should always receive a gener¬ 
ous wetting with manure water as 
the flower buds begin to swell. The size 
of the succeeding blooms is a splendid re¬ 
ward for the courtesy on your part. But 
to have a barrel of a slop of manure and 
water in your yard is offensive in many 
ways. A much better plan is to put half 
a bushel of manure in an old sack, drop 
it at the root of your favorite rose, stick 
the nozzle of the garden hose in the sack 
and turn on a gentle stream of water. The 
manure solution will go right to the spot 
and the sack later dropped in an obscure 
corner of the garden. Harry N. Hol 
When the Spring Run Starts in 
the Sugar Bush 
(Continued from page 193) 
means a long sap season if you have a 
freeze and it thaws a little during the day. 
Of course, if it freezes up tight for long 
the sap stops and you’ve got to set around 
waitin’ for good weather. Same thing if 
it gets too warm. That may end the 
season for good.” 
The next day a new problem presented 
itself. For in many of the buckets ice was 
floating when we got around. 
“Chuck it away,” was Ray’s advice, 
“unless you find the whole pail frozen 
solid.” 
This seemed to me wasteful at first, but 
when I thought of salt water freezing, I 
knew that the action of freezing would ac¬ 
complish the separation of sugar quite 
similar to that of evaporation. Ray told 
me later that an old Indian used this very 
method of getting his sirup from the sap. 
We worked as before during several 
days. First a cold snap interrupted our 
labors and later a few very warm days 
seemed to suspend the flow. One day 
when a heavy wind swept through the 
bush we got hardly any run whatever. 
The season lasted well into March and the 
camp was open six weeks in all. But by 
no means did we have sap run each day; 
perhaps we had ten or twelve all together. 
Toward the end of the season the sap
