According to the Kansas Farmer, n.
p fleming, Lawrence, Kans., has found
an efectual remedyfer the curculio and
the codling moth in the following:
Eight teaspoonfuls of Paris green, and
gne and one-haif pounds of common
hsr soap. to thirty gallons of water;
rbsa with the use of "a small force pump
sprsy the trees. Mr.. Deming feels so
well satisfied with Tie experiment that
he will plant out more plum trees, now
that he can subdue the curculio.
The droppings frem the fowls is a
rich and good manure for all classes OF
garden crops. For cabbages, and all
the Brassica tribes, IT should be spread
thiliy over the ground and lightly fork
lin. | have used it for most kinds OF
Garden crops; and found it a good slim
liant for fruit trees when they are in
full bearing condition. l tried it for
apples on light soil, and the trees which
we're on the dwarf surface roofing stocks
certainly bore remarkably fine fruit. |
The manure was applied after the fruits |
we're set.-Gardening.
TIE late James Wick used to say: I'll
the sell is in good condition the best
manure for grass is water" Be that as
itmay, | have found the following pro-
pOrtieRs per acre to be good manure for
putting on in the spring slime: 80 pounds
bone -four; so pounds KANT; so pounds
nitrate of soda; 100 pounds salt; $50 |
pounds of Superphosphate Some one
has wisely said; Because land has
been laid down to grass it must not be |
supposed that there is no more work to
be done, for it will pay fer attention as
well as arabic land.
The Shepherds crook ought to be con-
adered an indispensable assistant to
every hoek-master, large or small. By |
It's careful use there is no danger of
breaking legs or injuring internally the

d.. Sturtevant, in a late bulletin, calls
A.Lennon to the fact that the small
SooOed, early-ripening corn will furnish
rlsle merchantable corn to the hundred
FUNDS OF harvest ears than will large
SVSoeu, late-ripening variety. In COM
patlhg the yields of different varieties,
S StO under equivalent circumstances,
rue harvest must necessarily differ in
weight according as the corn is more or
t tSss hpe, Therefore. In comparative
NV We must expect often-times to find
al SSi results, unless nationally interpret
NJ more misleading than useful. In
,aO SEASONS, such as we have in this
SiSt Ol, dent corns, ripenIng later than
~ Cofns, will contain more water

MAJ NIL, acres, even if both sorts yield
H. otselY the same amount of merchant
