CUT WORMS AND PLANT LICE.

Cut worms often do considerable
mischief in cutting off plants new
ly set out in the field. These are
bred from eggs laid by various
night flying moths. They eat
during the night and during the
day lie concealed under rubbish OF
beneath the surface OF the SOFT
ground. They choose low, succa'
lent plants aud grapes, feeding on
cabbages and corn only as by acct
dent they come to them or for lack
of something else. Cut worm IN
juries to cabbages may be averted
by planting them only where there
has been clean culture for several
months previous, but this is not
always convenient to do. AS soon
as ground infested by these worms
is plowed those not destroyed oy
the blowing and narrowing or by
the birds may be trapped by max
ing small heaps of weeds and
grapes at little distances apart, IN
der which they will collect and
hide and where they may be found
for several mornings and destroyed
The cabbage plant louise is often
destructive, and so numerous az to
cover the whole plant and hinder
it's development, or at least serious
" affect its market value. Again,
the Pyretl rum powder busted from
a hand bellows has been found the
most efficaciOus remedy, as II
reaches more than sprinkled In
secticides.
The cabbage root worm Is The
larval stage OF a fiy about the size
of the common house fly. 1t is a
white msggot, pointed at the head
fOotless, the body gradually In
creasing in size towards the hinder
end, where it IS squarely cut OIL
When full grown it is about one
third of an inch In length. For a
remedy it is recommended to dip
the roots of the plants IN a com
pound of one part kerosene emul'
sion to twelve or fifteen parts Of
water at the time of planting.
Club root rarely or never attacks
cabbages planted in virgin SOIL
but is most common in soils which
have been occupied by cabbages in
previous seasons. For thls disease
the various insecticides have been
tried without any good effect
When once the fungus has entered
the root there is probably nc
remedy. AS a preventive, chloride
of lime is recommended. Make
a solution with not quite enough
voter upon the pow der to DISSOLVE
all of it and thoroughly stir II
then, taking one part of this solu'
ton to two or three parts of water,
apply to the roots of the cabbage
at planting and to the soil i'm
mediately about the roots.

FARH and HOUSEHOLD.
FANCY PRICES FOR STOCK.


Many farmers neglect their own
interests through prejudice. Ihey
will not pay what they call "fancy
prices for better animals than
their own. But what If this So
called fancy price be based on real
value, as it often is : A COW that
with slightly increased cost ior
feed will make twice as much but
ter or give twice as much milk as
one of the average herd, is worth
. good deal more than twice as
mush.
Deduct the extra cost of keeping
If you will; then take the extra
product and regard it as so much
interest or dividend on the cows
value during It's years OF probable
life and usefulness. The fancy
priced COW would either loom fully
up to the prices now charged for
her, or the scrub would decline 80
as to be hardly worth taking even
as q gift. This is o kind of reckon
ing that the dealer in government
securities does when estimating
their value. AS we'll say that a 4
Der cent. was estimated at a fancy
price because 1t sells higher than a
3 per cent. having the same time
TO run.
This is not, however, the whole
superiority OF the more productive
COW. Every gear she may drop a
calf. That from the scrub would
probably be like its dam, not worth
raising. That from the good COW
would be, if properly bred, as it is
likely TO be, worth more when first
dropped than the scrub animal
ever is. The farmer who keeps
good COWS pays more attention to
their breeding. He has a money
incentive to do this, for he Is
reasonably sure that the produce
from prejudice breeding will pay
him better prices for his grain by
feeding TO it than lie can get in the
market. SO he feeds net only
coarse fodder, bat grain at home
Thus he makes moro and richer
manure piles, and is on the high
road 10 prosperity.
We have instaDced COWS, but
the same truth holds good with all
kinds OF stock. No farmer in
these days can afford to keep AMI
mails that are not somewhere near
the top notch iu value. When the
farmer gets as near that point as
his purse will allow BY purchase,
he will be all the more certain to
breed up instead OF down. Then
with full knowledge Of his ca
pacities of his improved stock, he
can estimate closely CROUCH the
fancy prices that he himself will
charge. We look TO see better
stock Of sll kinds kept by far mers
in q few years from this. These
necessities will oblige them TO keep
as good as possible, for only such
will pay. Will there not then be
sgrest lowering ofprces? Perhaps
what may be fairly called fancy
prices will be lower than now, but
the keeping of stock will make
money, because little calculation
will show that high prices to them
are really cheaper than to take
poor stock as a gift. This rule in
farming has been always operative
but the sharper competition that
all branches of farming are now
undergoing, makes it more obvious
than IL ever has been before
