Not nearly so much in jury is report
ed from the Hessian fly as formerly pre-
vailed. When it was first introduced
its habits were not understood and it
proved very destructive. In somo Sec
tions wheat growing was abandoned for
series of years to starve the insect out.
AS it will not attack rye, that grain
was subs tituted for wheat while the
starving process was going on. Another
reason why it is less destructive now is
because parasite has been found which
keeps it in check. When the fly was
first brought from Germany by the Hes
sian soldiers during our revolution airy
war, it came unattended by the
parasite that in Europe had always
depressed it's numbers. Deferring
wheat sowing until tho time for frost is
aDne method of preventing its in
crease. Whom the fly does not find
wheat plants during August and early
September on which to deposit her eggs,
8she is obliged to place them on the
! grass or other plants where the insects
when they hatch cannot get their prop
er nourishment. The fly will not lay
her eggs after frost comes. The scat
tered wheat plants that spring up after
wheat is harvested are often the breed
ing places for the Hessian fly during
late Summer and early Fall-[American

IsidgIng For Wet Land.

A writer in the Now England Home
stead says: Bridging does benefit such
land. Any course of treatment that
will change the physical condition of
such soil is benefit. Ridging admits
ali, the heat of the sun and action of
frost to portion of the soil, changing
its character entirely and fitting it for a
time so that the more valuable farm
crops can be produced with reasonable
guccess. The sand should be very deep.
III would be q needless expense and
poor farming to rid the land of such
instructions in this way however.
Dogs should be removed with some
sharp instrument and burned, and the
meadow then covered with just sand
enough to Q ven up the surface. 1t is
not necessary to use sand if common
loan is more convenient. Haul it on
the ice in winter and level to the de-
sired thickness.
"Good drainage will be necessary if
you would have the undertaking sue
cess. If you neglect this you will OBJ
serve that the tendency of the soil Will
be to revert to its original condition as
far as the production Of valuable grasses
is concerned. Where the land is well
drained next summer, so that you can
go on with light team, haul on good
dressing of rich stable manure and har-
row it down well. Sow half bushel
of herdsgrass and 10 pounds of clover
TO the acre, and, conditions favorable,
the following season you will cut the
heaviest hay crop you ever harvested.

Good Pasture. and Good Meet.

Professor Sanborn, in the Mirror and
Farmer, thinks that the character of
pasture lands is an important influence
in raising beef steers, and that the poor
New England pastures stand in the way
of growing the best high grade stock
here. Our very poor hlll-sid pastures
are profitable for only forests. Good
pastures he considers the cornerstone
TO the most successful type of farming.
TO overcome the poverty of New Eng
land pastures, he recommends chemical
fertilization, yard manuring, feeding
stock at pastures and alternating be-
tween fields and pastures. Beyond this
he advises that rotation of crops include
having all arabic land in pasture from
one to three years in rotation. Even
then the summer feeding of good steers
should be prominent reliance.

The Poultrr EEnuae.

The main point to be observed, when
constructing a poultry house, is to Sc
cure as much space on the floor as posi-
bic. and to avoid too wide roof. The
object is to save expense, as the roof is
the most costly part OF the house, while
the real value depends upon the area on
the door in proportion to total cost.
The Savannah tribune. [volume] (Savannah [Ga.]) 1876-1960, 1888-11-03

Hundreds of designs of poultry houses
have been illustrated and published,
but, unfortunately, each individual has
certain preferences which prevent per-
feet unanimity in constructing them on
the most favorable plans. II is as easy
to have all agree upon one common plan
of a dwelling house for humans as for
fowls. The climate, soil, breed and
space are all considered when making
the designs.
No matter what kind of a poultry
house may be preferred the fact must
not be over looked that during great
portion of the winter, when the snow
is on the ground, the fowls must be
kept confined in the house. The great
or the space, especially on the floor, the
better they will be enabled to exercise
and keep in proper condition, and as
yards are often Of no consequence dur
ing severe season, success may de-
pend on tie investment of few dollars
more than the amount originally in
tended, and it often happens that loss
occurs simply for want of room on the
floor. If the area on the floor is limited
to a small proportion for each hen, and
the house cannot be conveniently en-
Iarged, then the stock must be reduced,
in order to give those remaining more
room.
1t will not do to feed the hens and
then have them sit idly about doing
nothing. They then become addicted
to feather pulling and othcr vices, while
the food tends to fattcn them by reason
of their inactivity. The house should
have plenty of sunlight, so as to become
warm and also light. The light is the
most important thing of all Fowls
have the greatest aversion to gloomy
surroundings. They will be perfectly
satisfied with well-lighted, comfortable
apartments, but prefer the bleak out
side to house that is but dimIy lighted.
During the day the house should be
kept open as much as possible, provided
the birds are not exposed to draughts
or chilling blasts, so as to purify and
ventilate it, but during the night, in
cold weather, tho house should be warm
aud close, as plenty of cold air will get
in without the use of ventilators.
The object should be to have the
number in the flock only large enough
to utilize the space on tho floor to ad--
vantage. If too crowded they will not
lay, as is we'll known by many, who are
aware that sometimes their neighbors
get more eggs from small flock than
they do from large focks, and the
secret is that they have plenty of room
for exercise. The floor should be large
enough to permit of places for scratch
ing, busting, roosting, and laying.
Just how much space may be required
depends upon the size of the flock. We
think house 10x10 feet none too large
for ten fowls, or ten square feet for
each hen. 1.-THE Poultry Keeper.

THE ST. PAUL BUSINESS COL

What 1t Is Doing for the Educa-
ton of Young Men---The EX-
hibit at the State Fair.
''The crying need in our growing
Northwest just now is more business
men, and by that mean more men who
have learned the principles underlying
all successful business" The above re-
mark was made by a leading and sue
cessful st. Paul merchant a few
days ago in the hearing of a
GLOBE reporter. 1t may be the
opinion of many that to be hustler"
is all that is needed out West, but he
who has nothing else to depend
upon will sooner or later
come to grief. Granting, then,
that thorough business education is
the grand desideratum of every young
man, the question comes where and
how shall it be received. True. the
public schools make an attempt at it,
but they fall far short of producing the
desired results.
The st. Paul Business College,
however, does do the work as
it is done nowhere else besides teaching
an artistic and rapid use of the pen
that is not only desirable, but in this
age almost indispensable. w. K Null

merits the closest attention of all who
visit the State Fair. See it and be con-
WINGED that what we have said is true.
