To KEEP CRINCH BUGS FROM A
CORN FIELD.--A great many remedies
and preventives against chinch bugs
have been suggested and published from
time TO time, the most OF them emanat-
Ing from good authorities, but very
generally so difficult and ilnpracticable
In their application rs to be OF little
general use. In their migration from
one field to another, at the time they
(lrst appear on the side OF u field Of corn
and before they have entered it, cut
five or six rows Of the corn aud cleal
the ground, then plow strip Of land
oight or ten feet wide. leaving deep
furrow in the center Of the strip, with
the perpendicular side Of the furrow
toward the field to be protected. Into
this the bugs will fall, where straw may
be thrown on them and burned. Or
the furrow may be covered with some
Of the stalks that have been cut while
it, when the bugs will crawl under
them into the furrow and remain there
III the shade long enough for the stalks
to dry and be burned.
THE DEMAND FOR LARGER HORSES.
Only few years ago 200 to l, duo
pounds was thought to be a big horse.
Now our grade draft horses, !, 400 to
1900 pounds, are demanded by the city
markets, and even heavier horses sell
all the better If they can be found.
Many Of our best farmers have grand
teams Of grade draft mares that money !
cannot buy. Every one is worth q
fortune for breeding, while the amount
o. '"or', can perform Is aast!aSallssshiaI
Il .sio FARMERS all want larger horses to
work, and are eagerly breeding to in
crease tho size. The dealers everywhere
are actively looking for the grade draft
horses all over the west. and fortunate
the farmers and the communities whore
this popular horse Is found.
1T is best for the average farmer to
have but one kind Of chicks. They
can then have unlimited range. and
there will be no expensive yards to keep
up, and you will always know that
your birds are pure. Birds can't re-
main healthy unless they are allowed
plenty of room to roam and hunt the
early worm.
No implement needs better care than
those that are costly or difficult to con-
struct. Some or them are used but
short time during the year, such as
haryesters. They should be we'll
cleaned, and every part subject to rust
given brushing over with kerosene.
If convenient, expensive machinery
should be covered. as during the winter
there Is always an accumulation Of
dust that does more or less damage to
implements.
WHEN the ewes become old their
places should be- supplied by younger
ones. Pen them in the fall and get
them fat by giving them all the hay
and grain they will eat,.wlth plenty of
turnips. and they will be in excellent
condition for market in a short time.
WORKING the cabbage should still
be done as the cabbage makes consider
able growth after the leaves fold and
begin to head. The crop delights Ill
frequent cultivation, and does not
object to manure at all stages OF
growth.
