' jO Dealer In Cabbage Beetle on account of the gay, manner in Harlequin-lik- e which the black and yellow colors are arranged upon its body. The first account of the operations of this very pretty, but, unfortunately, very mischievous bug appeared in the year 1866 from the able pen of the late Dr. Gideon Lincecum, of Texas. He says: Year before last they got into my garden and utterly destroyed my cabbages, radishes, mustard, seed turnips and every other cruciform plant. Last year I did not set any of that order of plants in my garden. But the present year, thinking they had probably left the premises, I planted my garden with radishes, mustard and a variety of cabbages. By the first of April the mustard and cabbages were large enough for use, and I discovered that the insect had begun on them. I began picking them off by hand and By that tramping them under foot. 434 s, means I have preserved my but I have visited every one of them daily now for four months, finding on them from 35 to 60 insects every day, some coupled and some in the act of depositing their Although many have .been eggs. hatched in my garden the present season, I have suffered none to come to maturity, and the daily supplies of grown insects that I have been blessed with are immigrants from some other garden. The perfect insect lives through the winter and is ready to deposit its eggs as early as the 15th of March, and sooner, if it finds any cruciform plant large enough. They set their eggs on end in two rows, cemented together, mostly on the under side of the leaf, and generally from eleven to twelve in number. In about six days in April (four in July) there hatches out from these eggs a brood of larvae (fig. a), resembling the perfect insect, but having no wings. This brood immediately begins the work of destruction by piercing and sucking the life sap from the leaves. In twelve days the insects have matured. They are timid and will run off and hide behind the first leaf, stem or any part of the plant that will answer their purpose. The leaf that they puncture immediately wilts.

Farmers Review. State Floral Emblems. The Massachusetts floral emblem society was organized to consider the claims of all flowers presented as candidates for a state flower to devise means of reaching the various towns of the state and for the purpose of educating public sentiment,. and urging the selection of a state flower. Some of the states have already legalized their floral emblem, Maine having selected the pine cone, Vermont the red clover, Minnesota the ladies slipper, Montana the bitter sweet, California the yellow poppy, and Nebraska the golden rod, while many candidates have been suggested for Massachusetts, among them being the mayflower, the pond lily, the elm and the columbine. Ex. . rupted brownish lines between that and the base. The hind wings are of a very pale ash color or very light gray, with a darker dot near the middle. The fall canker worm emerges from the ground late in the lalL after the leaves have fallen from the trees and the frosts have destroyed all the tender plants. The females climb the trees attended by the male who hover around on the wing. After the mating of the moths the females lay their eggs side by side, in regular masses, often as many as 100. together, in an exposed situation on the twigs or branches of the trees. Sometimes ' the females, through mistake, crawl up the side of a building and deposit their cluster of eggs on the exposed surface. After they have done feeding they descend from the trees and burrow into the ground, where they pass their transformations, and the moths emerge late in the fall. The female of this species is wingless, about three-tentof an inch long, and of a pale gray or ash color. The males have well developed wings, which expand nearly an inch and a half, and are of the same color as the female. The fore wings have two rather irregular whitish bands across them, and the hind wings have a blackish dot on the middle and a more or less distinct whitish band outside of it. As the females are wingless and pass their transformations underground, and are obliged to crawl up the trunks of the trees to deposit their eggs, one precaution is to prevent their ascent by putting bands of heavy paper around the trunks, painting them with some sticky preparation, as printers ink, or tar softened with oil. Another method is to put a trap of zinc or tin around the trunks of tho trees, over which they cannot pas3. Care must be taken that the trap or paper fits tightly to the tree, that neither the female moth nor the newly hatched larvae can find a passage beneath. Still another remedy-- is to shower the trees with paris green in water about the time the eggs have hatched in the spring. Potato Scab. Dr. Byron Halsted, of the New Jersey experiment station, is one of the most careful observers and workers. The Rural New Yorker gives the following note in regard to some of his recent work: Dr. Halsted of New Jersey had a very interesting exhibit of potatoes at the Trenton fair. The object was to show the effect of flowers of sulphur in checking or reducing potato scab. The results were striking. Where the seed was rolled in sulphur, and a quantity of the substance was scattered in the drills, the potatoes were remarkably free and clean. Where sulphur was not used they were badly scabbed. Dr. Halsted obtained much the same results with sulphur in preventing sweet potato rot. The R. N. Y. tried sulphur carefully years ago and found that it largely prevented scab and kept wire worms in check. The Corn Crib. A corn crib should be roofed and sided on the north and west sides, if exposed, as tightly as a crib for small grain. This Is true, because leakage injures ear corn as well as small grain though the damage-bnot so great. It is true, because driving storms will force snow nearly to the center of the crib, and then when melting causes more or less damage. It Is easy to reduce the selling price or feeding value of corn two cents the bushel, and two cents the bushel is the whole cost of cribbing corn, saying nothin about the use of the crib3 in subsequent years. Rural Life. ' Too Cheap Potatoes. A commercial friend lining in Ames, Iowa, reports that at Holstein and other points In North Iowa he found the people loading potatoes on the cars at 8 cents per bushel. This is a ruinous price. They are worth far more for feeding. If pitted, as noticed in this department a, week ago, good potatoes will bring a fair price next spring. The- crop is short in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and other states east of us. Potatoes will be shipped next spring from Colorado with profit to the growers. Ex. Early Maturity. Early maturity means the largest proportion of muscle cr lean meat for the least food eaten, as well as the attainment of this condition at earliest possible age. All growth Is made from what is eaten In excess of the amount necessary to support life, and the quicker it reaches the stage best fitted for food not only will it have cost less per pound, tut it will have developed the tendercst and the largest amount o? lean meat. Indiana Yrrmsr. hs , e - Cost of Raising Apples. "With our orchard land the minimum cost of raising apples has not yet been reached. It is not known how cheaply apples may be grown In Maine, and until this feature of the problem is considered it Is largely guess work. The fruit growers of Maine are squarely facing the question, and some of us may live to know how much our fertile hillsides, under the skillful manipulation cf the horticulturists, may bo mads to produce. We are just getting down to the question la good shape, and the next four years are promising many interesting revelations. D. H. Knowlton, xctary Urdus Pomologies! Society. low-pric- jm ed ed s The are all undeveloped females, but under certain circumstances they are capable of producing eggs, and when a colony is hopelessly will often lay queenless,' a worker-be- e eggs in the hive. These eggs will always produce drones, and a colony thus affected will soon die out. The drone-be- e Is the male bee, and his only office work is to fertilize the queens. One time mating with a drone lasts as long as the queen is able to do good service in the hive. When the old queen becomes exhausted, the bees supersede her with a young queen. Bee keeping is a poor mans business, and the poorer he is, the less excuse he can find for not having plenty of honey for himself and family to eat. Bees are no respecter of persons; they will work as well for a peasant as for a prince. He does not have to own the broad acres they glean, nor build costly houses and barns for them; they work without clothes or harness or machinery, and the poor man with his little home and small business has the more time to donate to his bees ahd provide an article of food that will make his children prettier, his wife sweeter and his home happier. Dont talk about luck in bee keeping; it will expose you. Quit killing your bees, quit robbing them, only take from them what they can spare and leave them enough to live .on. Learn to breed your hives full of bees the last thing you do before going into winter, and then breed them brim full of bees again the first thing you do in the spring. Have your new hives ready and your colonies running over full of bees when the honey flow comes; there Is where luck comes in, and it is always good luck. G. P. Morton. S AMU CL A.
