pushes her eggs in among she young
flowers. When the larva is full grown
it wriggles its way out of the head and
falls to the ground, where at or just
beneath the Soil surface it forms a
slight cocoon, within which it changes
to the pupa state. About ten days
later the flies emerge to lay eggs for
another brood. In the northern states
there are two broods each season,
while at the south there are at least
three, and possibly more.
Remedies The best preventive of
the injuries of this insect yet suggested
is that of moving the field about the
middle of May lin the latitude of CEN
trail ohio) when the green heads are
just forming, and leaving the partial
crop thus cut on the ground as a mulch
and fertilizer. A new crop of bios
SONS is then produced, which comes
between the regular crops and also be-
tween the two broods of the midge.
This method has been tried for several
years by some of the best farmers in
Ohio with excellent results. The other
remedies ordinarily recommended are
early cutting of the first crop-about
ten days earlier than usual-and
pasturing the fields in spring. But
there are serious objections to both
these methods.

Putting Salt in Cream.

A well-known western dairyman, C.
s. Arnold, is on record as saying that
he salts his cream as fast as taken from
the milk. at the rate of two ounces of
salt to the gallon of cream, and is get
ting gratifying results. The cre,lm
ripens better, and with no disposition
TO excessive fermentation. The churn
gets more butter from the cream and
quicker than when no salt Is used.
All this may be so, and as Mr. Arnold
says, but the amount of salt seems ex-
cessive. So far as the churn!ng and
getting all the butter, we thing that
adding some fair strengthened brine, a
quart to the gallon of cream when the
churn is started, would be better than
just salt alone. IL is only another
sign that dairymen are after that last
ounce of butter, and are bound to have

palace that is not turned into a hotel,

would make an American workman
strike, simply because he has learned
to float through life; and the laborer is
equally happy on little because he has
learned to wait without much labor
The gliding, easy motion of the gon-

the gondolier who with consummate
skill urges his dreamy bark amid the
throng and in the tortuous canals for

THE COW IN WINTER.
How She Can BE Made to Yield n sati
factory Income.

factory Income.
The quantity of milk and butter that
can be secured during the winter de-
pends largely upon the management
and care given the cows. Both milk
and butter sell at better prices during
the winter, and for this reason IL proper.
ly managed better profit can be real
lied. In many localities more profit
could be realized by having some of
the calves come in the fall rather than
all in the spring as is SO generally
done.
One of the principal items in having
a good supply of milk economically Is
TO provide comfortable shelter With
all animals a certain quantity of food
is required to maintain animal life and
heat, and where no shelter is provided
more will be needed to supply heat
than with good shelter. The excess
over and above what is necessary to
maintain life and heat goes into milk.
A good milch COW is rarely fat one,
at least while she is giving milk, and
both the quality and quantity are af-
fected by the kind and quantity of feed
as well as the conditions under which
it is supplied The difference in feed
| ing cow through the winter, whether
! she is dry or is giving good flow of
milk is small if she is fed so as to keep
in good thrifty condition, while if she
| can be managed so as to secure lib
eral flow of milk there will be very
considerable difference in the profit.
Glover or millet hay is better than
timothy hay or corn fodder. Wheat
bran is good to increase the quantity,
but the cows need cornmeal or oil meal
to make it good feed for both quality
and quantity.
Unthrashed oats with wheat bran
make good ration for milk. A good
plan of feeding is to run it through a
feed cutter and then add the bran,
dampening the whole and mixing that
thoroughly together. Bran and oil
meal can nearly always be used to
good advantage in feeding the milch
cows, whether in winter or in summer;
| but in nearly all cases in order to Sc
cure The best results it will be neces-
sary to feed it in connection with
something else. 1t pays to feed cows
literally; give what they will eat up
clean. This applies to rough feed as
well as grain.
Cows need little if any exercise dur.
ing the winter. When the weather is
mild and pleasant it may be well
enough to turn them out for few
hours during the day, but when the
weather is cold or stormy it will be
better to keep them confined under
shelter. They must be watered regu-
larly at least twice a day, but in bad
weather this should be done with as
little exposure as possible.
Where it is an object to secure the
largest quantity of milk many find it
profitable to warm the water, as taking
into the system considerable quantity
of cold water chills and causes a de-
crease il the quantity of milk. Plenty
of bedding should be provided in order
to keep the cows clean and comforta-

upon each side, which are connected by
fine, yellow, transverse lines. The
caterpillars now construct, slightly be-
meath the soil surface, loose cocoons
composed of particles of earth fastened
together by silken threads, within
which they change to pup@. About a

The Bundle Bee in His Humble Way
Does Lots of Good.
In reply to correspondent asking
whether the humble bee has any infiu-
ence on the production of clover seed,
Insect Life says: 1t has been conclu-
sively established that red clover (Iri-
tolium pratense, L. will not mature its
seeds without the cross fertilization
brought about by the visits of insects,
and particularly humble bees. Many
other bees and also Lepidoptera (but-
terfiies, moths, etc., Diptera two
winged flies) and beetles visit the
clover blossoms, but these effect cross
fertilization to only limited extent
the mouth parts of the humble bee be-
ing especially fitted to this work. The
smaller percentage of seeds in the first
crop of clover is therefore due to the
fact that the bees necessary to the pro-
duction of perfect seeds are compare
lively few in number in the early
spring and summer. A number of ex-
periments have been tried in England
to establish the relation of the bee to
clover, and similar experiments have
also been made in this country, all go-
ing to show the dependence of clover
on the bee for full productiveness. A
notable instance of the usefulness Of
the humble bee in this regard is seen
in the fact that when clover was first
introduced into New Zealand it failed
to produce seed, but later, when tho
humble bees were introduced and be-
came numerous, the clvver matured
perfect seeds.

A sERvIcEABLs HOE.

digging around the hop hills, and in

Such hoe is especially handy and
serviceable in working and digging
among roots, stumps, stones, etc, and
in hard and stony soil generally. You
can use it pretty much like pick. Its
advantages are these: First, the tines
enter with ease, even ground that is
quite hard; second, the handle affords
strong lever for turning up the clod
or sod; lastly, the head is easily APP
piled to knocking the soil to pieces.
A tool of this kind should be in the
possession of every soil tiller. If the
hardware man does not keep it in
stock, the nearest blacksmith can make
one. Surely it is serviceable tool;
one which once possessed, would not
be parted with for several times its
