old miller, and have observed the progress Of
the weave Cor many years, and offer you my opinion
as to the mode Of saving your wheat.
The egg Of the weave is deposited in the wheat
while growing. When the grain is put in bulk. it
ally becomes moist and warm, the egg is then hatcbed
into worm, and whilst in that state, IL Injuries the
wheat. Without this warmth, the egg does not hatch,
and the grain remains sound. Then, 20 prevent the
Matching Of the wcavei, the wheat must he kept cool.
The most certain way to do this, is to dry il well in
the srn, and then spread thin cool floor until used
Sold This mode OF saving wheat proved successful
in many instances last season. and where il
fully attended TO. in instance failed, far as have
understood There is another mode OF preserving wheat
which Is equally efcctual: that is kilndrying It, which
kills the weave in the egg.
And sometimes it is saved by leaving il in the Geld in
hand shocks for ten days two weeks, if during that
time the shines very hot.--The great heat OF the
sun operates like a kiln TO destroy the weavel.
", however, the wheat is well dried aud kept cool
afterwards that IL all that is necessary. To accomplish
this IL must not be put in bulk in gamers, in rail
pens; because ia that situation IL undergocs sweat, that
generally matches the When well dtied, spread
it out cool dry floor, and doubt not il will escape
the weavel. kEATLX.
