Illinois, at a time when Western
d TRY products were at remarkably
low discount in the Eastern mark
cts, but the farmers of Illinois and
Wisconsin were becoming hopeless

crops and low prices, and they were
determined to make an effort to
better their condition. So they or.
gained an Association, held a
meeting, discussed various plans,
when finally it was determined as
last resort to attempt dairying
Speakers were procured from the
East, meetings were held and the
dairy business was started in. por-

The Springfield Republican tells the follow
% = rather large story about grass farming. Ii
Is no doubt partly true but eight tons Of
timothy, redtop and clover to an acre is lit
lie too much, though we can readily see how
two or three heavy crops might be estimated
at that, and even weigh it, if not too dry. If
the premium of 500 for the best yield of
hay per acre which Mr. Lilly generously Of.
fers to Hampshire county farmers were to be
offered in this county, it might be competed
for and won on yield of less than five tons
of good dry hay per acre.
The grass crop is one of the mostimportant
crops and the most natural in our husbandry.
and yet its profit and possibilities are hardly
known even to men who have farmed it oil
their lives A. L. Lilly, silk manufacturer of
Florence, has been investigating the matter
and by experiments on tract of II acres has
proved that the capacity of grass land for
production is almost lmitless. Last year
which was not particularly favorable to grass,
he says he cut lG tons of hay on two acres
and six tons per acre on 10 acres, or 7G tons
in all. He does it by top-dressing, muck,
horse-manure and ashes being the chief in
gradients of his great composts. He harrows
and sows grass seed where the grass is least
productive, and gives special nursing to the
weak spots. Some of this land had to be un-
der drained to begin with, but it was not con-
sidered very promising field by the former
owners Considerable of it is moved three
times. Timothy, red-top and clover is the
mixture of seed used, but probably a greater
variety would make better hay and give lust
as large results. Mr., Lilly sells hay and buys
corn. He makes a specially of hay. He has
taken land of a common sort, and simply by
judicious feeding astonished himself and his
neighbors. The thoroughbred farmers in the
Connecticut valley, and the scientific profess
sors at Amherst are beaten in one of the sim
plcst games of agriculture by an amateur.
Mr.. Lilly renews his offer of 800 this year
for the largest yield Of hay per acre, and au-
thorzes the old Hampshire agricultural socie
ty to make the awards, with the hope that
somebody will be stimulated to be a competi-
tor. Statistics show that the average yield of
hay per acre Is about ton, but when the
yield can be increased six aud eight-fold, the
profit must be greater. The same labor and
expense applied to grass that is usually applied
to an acre of tobacco, would give the farmer
satisfaction and prosperity that ID scarcely
dreamed of.

&c. N. A." Of South Newbury, makes a
few timely suggestions in the Mirror and Far
mer about repairing highways:
"These repairs are generally conducted by
men unskilled in the business, and are conse-
quently done quite mechanically. II Is to
be hoped the time will soon come whom we'll
taught road engineers will be considered Just
as indispensable for common highways as for
railways Meantime, a suggestion OF two in
regard to the best method Of making repairs
may possibly be Of service
''In most places bitches are made beside
the road-track, often so constructed that II
one is crowded into il no truly falls into the
ditch" In some rare spots cutters Of this
kind may be a necessity; but for the most
part gentle curve from gutter to gutter will
make the necessary watershed and make the
whole width convenient for use by meeting
teams, as well as safe for night travel or an
accidental deviation from the middle track.
Such O construction makes an apparently mar
row road practically wide. We trust the old
fashioned ditch is no longer necessary for the
protection Of class of men who once needed
a safe resting place along the way.
"An important point is the selection of a
place for digging earth when wanted for re-
pairs. Instead of making an unsightly hole
in the softest place that can be found would
it not often be better to grade down a spot
that would be improved by lowering, and 80
"kill two birds with one stone"2 A man with
wheelbarrow, working with skill, can do
more in many cases TO really improve a road
than much larger force under the usual
method. When the laying out and making Of
highways come to be done on scientific prin-
ciples, and not according to the whims of un-
skilful persons there will be a better state of
things"

Is every crop bound to have its mortal in
sect enemy? Within our recollection the
cherry trees were free from black knot, the
plums from the curculio, the currants from
the ourrant worm the cabbages from the cab
bage worm, the squashes from the squash
bug, the potatoes from that bug of bugs that
raises hundred thousand children and grand
children annually on a mixed diet of potato
leaves and Paris green. Now the strawberry
bug is coming The apparent oversight in
emitting it is likely to be corrected. We
quote from the American Cultivator
"a panic exists among the strawberry grow
ers of southern Illinois, arising from the whole
sale depredations Of an insect enemy. Some
planters report their fields so completely
ruined as to force them to abandon the crop.
Whole handfuls of berries may be grasped
from plant, of which every berry is sucked
dry aud rendered worthless. Prof. Forbes
says the depredator is properly known as the
furnished plant bug (Lggus HRe0laUis), an
insect well known for years and abundant in
many sections, but not heretofore known to
injure the strawberry and prevent its filling

like bug, about one sixteenth of an inch in

one-fourth of an inch long and changes to a

"Apple trees are in full bloom, but the cat
erpillars are out in full force, stripping Of the
green leaves and insuring crop of wormy
apples So says E. S. Jackman of Wealth
ersfeld. VT, in the Boston Cultiyator of June
9th. The caterpillars have been plenty, it is
true, and there will be worms in the apples
next fall, but no caterpiars such as are here
referred to, nor any of their family If they
were ell insurance agents they couldn't in
sure crop of wormy apples All the crop
they can insure is crop of moths to propa-
gate their successors for the spring Of
1881 and this they will surely not fail to do.
They have now-Juue 15-about completed
what other mischief they are capable of this
season, and are beginning to spin their CO.
coons from which they will emerge in July,
reddish brown moths. The moths deposit
the eggs from which tho next spring caterpl-
lars are Matched, in the latter part of July or
during the month of August. There are two
species of these caterpillars common on apple
trees in the spring the tent caterpillar, Cis-
iocampa americana, and the forest tent cat
erpillar, CLiSiocampa SylCdtica. Besides these
there is another kind which appears less fire.
quenty ana later IN the season.
The moths from none of these ever produce
the worm that infests the fruit That is the
larva of the codling moth, CalpocapSa l,omo-
nella The eggs of the codling moth arc de-
posted in the calyx or part of the blossom
adhering to the green fruit. As soon as
Matched the worm begins to burrow in the
apple. At first it feeds on the pulp, but
when it approaches full size it gnaws its way
into the cavity in the center of the apple and
feeds on the seeds. When the seeds are con
sumed the apple usually falls to the ground
and the worm, leaving it, finds place of
concealment in the bark of the tree or wand
ers to some other place of security where it
spins its cocoon, and after a few weeks, be-
comes a chrysalis. In this state it remains
through the winter, coming out as moth in
June or about the time that the green apples
appear. 1t flies by night and is not often
seen. 1t is much smaller than the moth of
the tent caterpillar, but it does far greater
injury to the apple crop. Until within a few
years the larya of the codling moth was the
only worm doing extensive damage by work.
ing to the fruit Of tho apple Lately another
worm has appeared, infesting especially early
sweet apples. It's habits are not yet fully
known to entomologists. 1t is a small white,
threud-like worm about one. fourth of an inch
in length. There are sometimes several of
them in a single apple, and they bore the
pulp full Of fine passages in every direction.
The worm is the larva of a small speGkled fly,
lately described, and named Trgpeta pomo.
