eIsuLPHIDE or CARBON.
The Most Reliable and Safest Reuaee
Aga.ast GRAIN Weevils.

The Most Reliable and Safest Remedy
Aga-ast Grain Weevils.
Prof. Riley declares that the use Of
bisulphidc of carbon against different
insects attacking stored grain has
greatly increased IN this country since
he first recommended it some thirteen
years ago. There is. however, consid-
erablc diversity in the method of using
il and the recommendations of some of
our writer's have evidently boen made
with no sense of the fact that the
fumes are heavier than air and descend
rather than ascend. Prof. A. II. Church
in q recent number of the Kew Bullc-
tin records that he found that one and
one-half pounds of bisulphide is enough
to each ton Of grain. He advises that
it be applied in the following way: A
ball of tow il tied to stick Of such =
length that it can reach the middle of the
vessel containing the grain The tow
receives the charge of bisulphide. like
q sponge, and is then at once plunged
into the vessel and left there, the mouth
or opening Of the vessel then be-
ing tightly closed. When nec-
essary, the stick may be with
drawn and the cls,rge tof one ounce
to one hundred pounds of grain may
be renewed. The action of carbon BIZ
sulphide lasts in ordinary cases six
weeks, after which period fresh
charge is required The bisulphide
does no harm to the grain as regards its
color, smell or cooking properties and
the terminating power Of most seeds is
not appreciably affected. provided that
not too much IL used, nor its action con-
tinued for too long period.
The assistant director OF agriculture
Of Burmah is reported to have used
naphthaline instead Of bisnlphidc in
the following way. bs. Prof Riley
would not expect. he says. anything
like rs good results from the naphtha-
line as from the bisulphIle: A hollow
bamboo cylinder one and one-half
inches in diameter with . stick fitted
into the cavity is pushed thI,Sn to the
bottom of the bin. the strk is then
withdrawn ard a few teasFoonfuls of
naphthalinc powder is poured into the
bamboo, which is then drawn out leav-
ing the naphthaline at the bottom OF
the bin. If the bins are very large this
should be done once to every ten feet
square and the application shOaid be
repeated every fifteen or twenty days
