THE MDGE AND WEEvIL.-Mr. Glover the
entomologist OF the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, in speaking of the
wheat midge and weevil in his last month
ly report, says:
" This so-called lCeeUU is the ,rheat midqe
and is the larvae or worm of a two winged
gnat or fly, properly called the wheat
midge. The midge attacks wheat only
when in the flower or immature state !;
whereas the true weevils and beetles fur
nished with hard wing-cases, and long
slender snouts, with which they attack
grain or corn, only when ripened and hard
The weevil deposits its eggs on the wheat
when in the granary but the midge de-
positS hers in the beginning Of July, in
the opening flowers of the grain, or when
the wheat is in the milky state The eggs
of the last named hatch in about eight
days, when The little yellow maggots or
worms may be found within the chaffy
scales of the grain. They do not exceed
an eighth of an inch in length, and are of
ten much smaller They live on the grain
when in the milky state so that it never
fills out"

Practical Advantage of Drilling Wheat.

Among the advantages of drilling in
winter wheat over broadcast sowing, are
the saving of labor, the saving of seed,
and securing more abundant crops
Whether the gram is sowed broadcast, or
drilled, the ground should receive the same
thorough preparation previous to distribu-
ting the seed. If drilled in, one man will
complete the operation, by simply going
over the ground once. If sowed broadcast
the ground must be narrowed twice after

How ABOUT THE HENs.--Do they lay now
while their products are worth two-and-a
half cents each? If not use a little gen
tie persuasion in the shape of extra grain
and some meat scraps, to take the place of
the disappearing insects. Keep them gen
tie and near home--regular feeding will dc
this. If inclined to wander off and select
the tallest trees to roost in, curb their
aspiring natures by clipping their wings.
To break up setting propensities, contine
them in a few inches Of water where they
have to "set standing" or on laths, or
poles, to avoid the semblance Of a nest
The Brahmas will persist in setting under
adverse circumstances, but the Spanish and
other fowls will be broken up in day or
two by this treatment. The moulting sea-
son is near at hand when they want to
be let alone" preferring quiet and seclus-
ion. Favor this disposition by disturbing
them as little as possible. With the grain
food-a mixture of various grains is best
let them have access to green food, as
grass, gravel or sand, pounded shells or
lime, and pure water. 1t is better to sepa-
rate those intended to fatten for killing,
from the laying and store fowls, as too
high food isEagainst laying, while too little
food is a sure preventative.

THE APPLE WoRM-This insect is be-
coming truly formidable, and a large share
of the small crop of apples of the present
year is spoiled by its injuries. A new con-
trivance is proposed for destroying it by
means of hay ropes passed around the
trunk of the tree at midsummer, under
which these insects pass to the pupa state,
and are then easily killed. This remedy is
no doubt useful as far as it goes, but we
question if it will prove anything more
than useful auxiliary. Swine in sufficient
numbers to eat all the fallen fruit from the
moment it begins to drop until it approach,
es full maturity, will doubtless prove very
eifectual but those who have large orchards
will find it difficult to assemble swine enough
to do the entire work in a complete man
ncr 1t may be necessary, therefore, to
resort to sheep-the only objection to
which, is their propensities to bark the
trees encircling them with board boxes,
or rolls of basswoOd bark peeled from saw
logs will be easier and better than to allow
the insects to ruin the crop. Sheep soon
become fond of halfgrown apples, and eat
them readily. No orchard should be per-
mitted to run to grass until the trees have
attained good size and even then nothing
of larger growth than the short herbage Of
sheep pastures. The top dressing of man
ure which these animals will give the or
chard will prove another advantage. An
additional scattering of manure from the
yard in autumn will make up the deficiency
of growth occasioned by concering Of turf
MILKING Cows-All farmers know there
is considerable difference in COWS with re-
spect to the ease and celebrity with which
they can be MIXED. From some the milk
is extracted easily, while from others it is
obtained, as it were, grudgingly and with
much labor. The first requisite in the op-
Grafton of milking, is to place yourself on
a friendly footing with the animal from
which the lacteal current is to be obtained
\ hasty, passionate or cross person will al
ways make poor mixer. it requires pa
tence and kindness to break a cow in, and
good usage thereafter to make her render
her milk freely If the animal is wild or
skittish the common practice is to admins
ter heavy dose of milking stool, while
performing several circuits around the milk
ing yard. This treatment, may, after
awhile, bring the COW to a stand still, but
it will be one of fear and trembling--the
worst possible condition for ready render
ing of the fluid sought. The opposite of
this course is the true one. Approach the
animal kindly, and with soothing words al
lay her fears. Place your hand upon her
lightly, moving it up and down upon her
neck and shoulders. Rub your hand light
ly about the neck and ears. She will per
hars shiver a little at first, eye you suspi-
ciously for a time, and then, taking long
BREATH yield herself to your management,
without further apprehension of evil An an
NAL in anexcited state of fear and bodily agi-
tation cannot render her store of milk readi-
ly hence the necessity of a good under
standing between the mixer and the milk
