midsummer, and feed, in both young
and adult states, on great variety o
plants.
The chief injury done by the buffalo
tree-hopper is that done in the process
of egg-deposition just described. Or
old trees it is not likely to be very Sc
rious, but on young trees considerable
damage may be done. Prof. Popenoe,
in describing the work of the insect in
a young apple orchard in Kansas,
says:
''The effect of these punctures in the
bark and wood was shown in the un-
healthy and unsymmeuical appearance
of the twigs, and in the young apple
trees mentioned in the lack OF yigor OF
the tree itself"
1t is always more difficult to prevent
the injuries of an insect that feeds upon
large variety of plants, both wild and
cultivated, than one which is confined
for food to the single crop injured. As
a rule it is also more difficult to fight
those insects which get their food by
sucking than those which bite. The
buffalo tree-hOpper combines both of
these characteristics, so that from the
nature of the case we may expect it to
be difficult insect to overcome.
1t seems to me tha at the insects might
be successfully fought, just after hatch
ing from the eggs, by spraying with
kerosene emulsion. With this end in
view the infested trees should be care
fully watched during May, and as soon
as most of the eggs are Matched the
trees should be sprayed with lserosene
emulsion. In those cases where the
trees are infested by bark lice, as we'll
as the present pest, the same spraying
may be made to kill both. BY destroy
ing the progeny of the eggs in this way,
the crop of egg-laying specimens will
be reduced, but it will not necessarily
prevent the .hoppers which develop in
neighboring localities from invading
the orchard to deposit eggs.
The suggestion of Prof. Saunders of
frightening away the insects during
the season of egg deposition by fire.
quently shaking the trees, also seems
worthy of trial.

Care of a Cow,

Every time that a COW shiyerS in a
cold stable, she indulges in an extra
amount of feed to serve as a stave-off to
Jack Frost's deprecatory influence
With twenty-five cows alike situated,
and all taking extra mouthfuls, enough
fodder is consumed in week of cold
weather to sheath the walls of the airy
stable with hay a foot thick. which of it
self would insure cosy warmth. Suppose
now, says the Ohio Farmer, that during
these seven days of frigidity the temper
ature of the stable had been normal,
dry and we'll ventilated, those several
hundred pounds of hay denominated as
EXTRA" would not have been consumed,
and at the end of the week the animals
would have been in physically better
condition than those that were obliged
to have recourse to it. Thus the extra
consumption of hay, costing a certain
amount of human toll, with it's loss of
sweat and expenditure of Drawn and
muscle is lost, irretrievably wasted,
without returning one cent to the dairy
man. Accompanying this, the depletion
of the physical status of the creatures
adds its ocular and convincing logic, as
the winter weeks and months pass by.
So, brethren. when we regard the situa-
tion from all points of the compass, and
do not shut our eyes to any of its un-
comfortable realities, we can see that
fodder can often be as virtually wasted
by putting it in the stomach of a COW as
by scattering it to the winds of heaven.

Against Dry Cured Grass.
In recent bulletin of the Ohio Ex-
peri nent station. Mr.. Clarence NJ Weed
reports that little insect, called the
buffalo tree-hopper has done much dam
age to fruit trees lately. The following
account of the pest is given:
The buffalo tree-hopper is small
greenish or yellowish insect, about one
third of an inch long. which is general
ly rather common during the late sum-
mer and early autumn months A fair
idea of its form, which has been COM
pared to that of beech-nut, may be OBJ
tanned from the illustration here given.
Its mouth consists of a sharp beak,
which it inserts into the bark and sucks
the sap. The eggs are laid in the upper
part of the twigs of apple, pear, maple
and various other fruit and shade trees,
mostly during the late summer or early
autumn months. They hatch the fol-
lowing May into small, active, greenish
hoppers, somewhat like the adults in
appearance, which insert their tiny
beaks in the tender bark and suck out
the sap. They become full-grown about

DAIRY DOTS.

MILK from cows in good health and
apparent contentment only should be
used.
WE give a summary of Professor Rob-
ertson's excellent bulletin on Milk for
Cheese Factories:"
TIN pals only should be used.
ALI milk should be strained immedi-
ately after it is drawn.
Cows should be milked with dry hands
and only after the udders have been
washed or brushed clean.
PURE cold water should be allowed in
quantities limited only by the cows
capacity and desire to drink.
An abundant supply of cheap, succu-
LEM, easily digested, wholesome, nutri-
tious feed should be provided.
MILK is better for being kept over
night in small quantities, rather than in
large quantity in one vessel.
ONLY pure, clean, honest milk should
be offered. Any deviation from that
will not always be UNPUBLISHED.
In warm weather, all milk should be
cooled to the temperature of the atmos-
phere after it has been aired but not be-
fore.
WILD leekS and other weeds common
in bush pastures give an offensive odor
and flavor to the milk of animals which
eat them.
MILK stands should be constructed to
shade from the sun the cans or vessels
containing milk, as well as to shelter
them from rains.
A BOX or trough containing salt, to
which the cows have access every day,
is a requisite Indispensable in the prof
liable keeping of COWS.
Cows SHOULD be prohibited from
drinking stagnant, impure water. The
responsibility for the efficacy of that
beneficial prohibition rests wholly with
the individual farmer.
MILKING should be done, and milk
should be kept only in place where
the surrounding air is pure. Other
wise the presence of the tainting
odors will not be neglected by the
