They are about six inches long, with brown
backs and yellow breasts. Five hundred to

one year, but they do not move out of the
house. They simply build new nest next
season under the same grass matched roof.

Fodder.


Mr.. Geo. p Lord, of Elgin, Ills, keeps 100
cows on 800 acres of land and has not used
hay for several years. He thinks fodder

the fodder is made properly and we'll So
cured so that each handful has rich
green color. Mr.. Hoard, in his Dairy
man, says he has se..l yield of ten
tons of cured fodder to the acre. This is a
wonderful yield, and we always found 1t, to
cur taste, as good as timothy hay for feeding
cows, pound for pound. 1t has also been
quite satisfactorily explained that sweet or
sugar corn does not make as good, economi-
cal. or even as sweet fodder, as the old horse
tooth variety Of southern origin, and who
ever saw more than three tons Of good tim
othy hay growing to the acres We never
had as good success in planting late as early.
Corn is semi-tropical plant, and wants
plenty of time, in this climate, to catch a

by long keeping than sweet corn. In the
large city markets, where the ears are two
or three days from the stalk, green corn Is
hardly worth eating. For drying, the ears
should be taken from the stalk and tho
husks quickly removed, cooked in boiling
water about fifteen minutes, the grain cue

picked and dried while the pod Is green, Is
the best for succotash; then the mature

IAmerican Agriculturist.l


Farmers do not half improve their oppor-
tunities in supplying the luxuries OF the table
at cheap rates We have too much salt pork
and Goldfish, and during the winter very
narrow line Of vegetables, outside of pota-
toes and beans. We have just risen from a
succotash dinner, served up the second day,
and with the flavor of that savory dish upon
the palate we are prepared to testify to its
excellence, and to tell the whole host of
American readers just how to grow the corn
and beans, and how to concoct the dish in
summer and winter. For the corn, do not
lose a day in securing the seed Only two
varieties of sweet corn are absolutely neces-
sary to secure a succession OF green ears in
their best condition from the last week in
July until frost stops growth. The earliest
ecorn is the Marhlehead, true sweet corn,
ears eight to ten inches long, and good
enough to satisfy any one. The green ears
sell well in market, and its eariiness makes it
a desirable sort to cultivate for this purpose,
where there is a surplus for family supplies.
About three paintings of this, week apart,
will be enough, beginning the first OF May.
These will give green ears through the month
of August Then, for the other kinds there
Is the old Stowell Evergreen, introduced
some thirty years ago, short jointed stalk
and large-eared variety, very juicy, and OF
excellent flavor, continuing in its milky state
much longer than the common sweet corn.
The new Egyptian is a long-jointed variety,
making stalks twelve feet high in good soil,
and caring well 1t is. quite as good, or
better than the Stowell. The succession can
be kept up with either of these varieties
through September, by planting in June.

A Strawberry Pest.

Growers Of Strawberries are considerably
agitated over the depredations of weevil,
which has brought destruction to thousands
of the vines ON large farms. Prof. Riley,
the entomologist of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, will visit Staten Island
expressly to study the habits Of the new pest,
and then try and suggest means for its sup
preston The strawberry weevil, as it is
called, threatens to put stop to strawberry
growing near New York unless speedily sup
pressed. 1t first appeared last year on Staten
Island. 1t punctures the flower stem, and
prevents the vine from fruitins. Later in
the season the weevil destroys the entire
plant. The insect buries itself near the rost
and next year myriads of its progeny ap-
pear. 1t has migrated across the Staten
island sound and appeared in New Jersey,
promising to destroy valuable acres OF straw.
berry plants there. No one yet knows its cor
rect name or its habits.

MALE FLY.

Both sexes have perfect wings, ana the
males are nearly as numerous as the females.
The difference in shape appears in the pic

Farmers will want to be on the lookout for
this new rest. Its learned name Is isosoma
nicrum. or black isosoma. The good done
by shook farming and agricultural colleges
will at length begin to dawn upon the most
benighted old hunks of a ruraliSt when the
results of such work as this done by Prof.
Cook begin to soak into his skull. The pro-
lessons suggestions for getting rid OF the pest
are as follows:
As the insects are in the straw from the
date of cutting till the following May, it
becomes very apparent that by cutting the
wheat high, in which case nearly all the In
sects will remain in the stubble, and then
burning the latter, all these will be de-
stroyed. In case there is much green vege-
tation. it would be better to cut the stubble
low before burning. If short pieces OF the
straw are found in the grain, these should
b cleaned out and burned. From expert
n,snts made in the laboratory, by burying
TIA straws in sand, and the insects still com
ing out, I doubt if blowing under will prove
q very thorough remedy. AS these nave

crops would not serve as well to protect
