Some Common Pests.

j. A. Lintner, New York state ento-
mologist, advises for the squash vine
borer wetting the stem at Il distance OIL
two feet from the base of the plants with
water containing Paris green at the rate
Of half a teaspoonful to IL gallon. AS a
preventive Of egg deposit, place in each
hill four or five corn cobs dipped in coal
tar, redipping them from time to time i'll
July and August. For strawberry plants
affected with insects a change Of soil is
recommended for the young plants, and
the immediate blowing under of the old
plants as soon as the fruit is off,
The attacks of the striped cucumber
beetle are repealed by planting beans in
each hill with the cucumber Seed. Gas,
lime OF tobacco dust, applied with a bel
lows at least once week, or better twice,
is good for woolly aphis. For flea beetle
mix thoroughly one tGaspoonful Paris
green with one quart Of flour; this to be
busted on the plants while wet with dew.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-11-05
Bee Buzzings.

The new fad of hiving bees automat-
ically is done by placing done and
queen trap in front Of the hive in such
way that the worker bees can pass in
and out Of the hive, but the drone and
queen cannot, so that when the queen
comes out she cannoo follow, but re-
mains in the cage, and as soon as the
bees miss her they will return.
Remember that comb honey to bring
the best prices should be put up in sin
gle comb sections in uniform crates
Small packages sell most readily.
A New York commission firm says
that comb honey should be shipped to
market during September and Octo-
Der. The early season is the best re-
CARELESS Of short or large crop. In all
our experience we have never seen the
prices advance during November and
December.
All comb honey when first formed is
clear and translucent. The fact that it
is often dark and opaque is due to the
thin glue like cocoons which line the
cells.
Separators are made of both wood and
tin. The tin ones work very we'll, but
wood separators appear to be gaining in
favor and promise to replace the tin
ones in time.

very useful in throat and lung diseases,
"a quality well known to the medical
world. The berries are nutritious and
are eaten with avidity by nearly all
animals both wild and domestic The
season for them lasts but about two
months.
This adds one more to the industries of
the place; and while not continuous
throughout the year, furnishes while it
does last, the means of livlihood to two
or three families We hope it will be
permanent, and that the demand for the
product will be such as to require con-
siderable enlargement. - New Smyrna

Dimensions of a Silo.

A cubic foot of silage is liberal ave-
rage feed for mich cow per day; thirty
cubic feet per month and go cubic feet
for seven months. With these data i'll
mind, says Hoard's Dairyman, any man
who has the capacity to measure cord
wood ought to be able to tell in what
shape to build silo for his herd, always
remembering that it is well not to have
it less than sixteen feet deep, and deeper
is better.

A Word of Warning.

The Farm and Fireside of November
LIST says
Good commercial fertilizers pay we'll
only when iudiciously used; poor ones,
never. A word OF caution to purchasers,
therefore, is not out of place. Be sure
that the fertilizers you buy are good,
and that they are exactly what they are
represented to be. There are honest man
ufacturers, and there are honest goods
on the market, but at the same time, in
spite of stringent legislation on the sub
ject, there is a good deal of fraud going
on in the fertilizer business. Unscrupu-
lous manufacturers and dealers are palm
ing off worthless goods on purchasers.
The laws of many States require all fer
tilizers sold to be branded with the anal
ysis made and provided for by the State.
But in spite OF this, fraudulent fertilizers
are boldly put on the market. This word
of caution against them is given in the
interest of the farmer and the honest
manufacturer. Much has appeared in
Farm and Fircside in favor Of the Judi
cious use of good commercial fertilizers,
and this is not intended to be taken as
advice against the purchase of such.
What is advised, however, is this: Before
buying from dealer, let the purchaser
have an analysis made from samples
taken from the particular lot he intends
buying. If he cannot readily have this
done, as provided for by the State, he
can we'll afford to pay a chemists fees, if
he intends using any considerable guam
tity of fertilizers.
In the use of fertilizers, the farmer is
dependent for profits on so much that is
beyond his control. Hemay prepare the
soil thoroughly, select and SOW the best
seed at the proper time and in the best
manner, and use the best fertilizer, but if
the season is unfavorable, there may be
no returns, either for his labor expended
or for the money invested in fertilizers.
Considering the risks he runs, the pur
chaser cannot very well be too particular
as to the quality of fertilizers he uses
Another point: The farmer who expects
to obtain all the profits possible from the
use of commercial fertilizers, must be-
come careful cxperimenter himself. In
no other way can he find out what are
the most profitable fertilizers to use on his
own soil. The results from experiments
made at the stations orby other farmers
he can sake as a guide, but not to follow
blindly.
