Questions and Answers.
Is there any remedy against tho ap.
pearauco Of weevil in wheat about lie
close Of harvestl
When ricking tho wheat scatter fresh
sAkGd lime enough to whitcn the stack
between every two or three courses OF
sheAvcs. When the wheat has been
thrashed from tho shock throw lime
over it, aud shovel it through tho grain.
Can farm be rid of thistlesl
This question is answered u great
many times each season. Among the
moro popular modes of Graduating
thistlcs is the ono that effects it with
hoed crops ; also another which consists
in letting the land lie idle ono season.
that is, free from crops-and constantly
pillow and harrow it.
CAn horse be broken Of the habit Of
overreaching1
This hns been done by placing the
shoes exactly opposite 10 the usual
rules; raise tho heels OF the fore shoes
as much MS is consistent with Your ideas
OF right, and lower the heels OF the hind
shoes the samo way this tends to
hasten the fore feet md retard the hind
ones, allowing the former to get out of
the way in time for clean reach for the

Which is tho best shnpe for n Rtacki
An egg shape is considered the best
form for stack; inexperienced farmers
nre liable to build too high and to run
their stacks mp to spire like point, in
which case tho top generally blows oil
and the whole thing is unsightly. A
stacker should bear in mind that it is
tue pitch Of the sheaf and not the pitch
OF the top which renders it waterproof.
III stacking keep the centers full, us this
gives til outside c3urscs steep pitch.
Always lavo the tops Of the sheavea
point to tho center.
Do bees injure fruit7
This oGt.repeAted question was answer
cd recently by Professor 9. F. Kelley ut
the Bee-Kecpers' Council in st. Louis.
He said TINT the construction OF bees
mouth is similar to that Of wasp's,
md that both are capable OF injuring
fruit this the wasp often does, but the
bees but rarely, excepting, indeed, in
times of severe drought. He did not
consider this fact Ms my argument
against tho usefulness Of the insect, M
the exercise OF its power as polIeniEer
is OF great value to the orcllartlist, even
though it occasionally commits depre-
dNtions upon fruit.
