they remain two or three weeks, when

a single bean, as shown.
1t is claimed that coal ashes or sand
saturated with phenyl and sown with
the beans or peas will prevent attacks
from the weevils. Remedies suggested
by Professor Bailey and others are as
follows: AS soon as the matured beans
or peas are picked, and while the grubs
are only partially grown, subject the
peas to a temperature of 145 degs for an
hour. The seed will not be injured Or
the ripe beans and peas may be confined

A Quick Way to Kill Caterpillars.

Take a suitable pole, say ten feet long,
and attach to the end coarse woollen
cloth by winding it with strong Irvine,
so that it will not slip either way. Take
from one to three quarts of wood ashes,
pour on hot water, and thus get strong
lye. Take an old pail, turn in the I've,
adding one pint or more of soft soap, and
stir well. 1t is then ready for use, and

Important Points in Poultry Growing.
In report from the experiment farm,
Ottawa, Canada, attention is called to
the following points:
1. Make hens lay when eggs are dear
est.
2. Breed stock when eggs are cheap.
8. Keep a non-sitting breed to lay
when sitters are Matching, and pay ex-
penses of the latter.
4. Breed as many chickens as possible
and as early as possible. They all rep
resent SO much money.
5. Keep all the pullets. They are
worth 50 each as prospective early win
ter layers.
6. Kill or otherwise dispose of all hens
after three years of age.
Z. Breed the best flesh formers for
market. Feed them up to as great a
weight as possible.
s. Well fattened, well dressed poultry
will bring the best prices from the best
customers.
8. If not accustomed to poultry, begin
with small number. Learn to make a
success of the few, then go on with a
larger number.
10. Do not neglect the little essentials
to success, such as lime, gravel, meat,
plenty of clean water, green food, dust
bath, etc, regularly supplied to layers.

long, the lower part shaped like a paddle,
five inches long, one and one-eighth
inches wide, and the left hand end,
notched as shown, and three-quarters of
an inch wide perpendicularly. The post,
sixteen inches high. is curved to the cir
cular sweep of the top board on its hinge.
The teeth, six in number ON each side,
are riveted seven eighths of an inch apart,
in a plate five and one-fourth inches long
and one inch wide, containing four screw
holes, placed zigzag, and this is found
much tirmer and mere secure than If the
teeth were inserted directly in the upper
plank.
The trap is set, as shown in the cut,
across a mole track, first digging a hole
eight inches square and six inches deep,
and returning the soil, taking care to
exclude all stones and large pebbles.
Press the earth down pretty firmly, and
| set the trap so that the trigger touches
the surface of the ground exactly over
the line of the track. When the mole
goes along his accustomed road, and
finds it INSTRUCTED, his movements i'll re-
