Death to Agricultural Pests.

Chinch bugs and such agricultural
pests are threatened with extinction as

tomologist of Illinois has been engaged

chinch bugs that were ravaging the
fields In Southern Illinois. His at

fact that il preyed on the chinch bugs
to such an extent that they were practi-
cally exterminated. The idea occurred
to him that IL it could be artificially pro

fected with IL turned loose in field
where other bugs were at work, one Of

corked with soft cotton to exclude other

prodigious rapidity, millions on millions

Extsr sivs Poultry Hsta blishm snt.

One of the most interesting places in
GOrham is the farm of Mr.I W. P. +
Robe, Just out of the village. Mr. Ro.
bic, who is son of ex Governor Robe,
is graduate Of Bowdoin in recent
class. /, Not enjoying the best Of health
he wisely decided to try an out Of door
life and settled on the beautiful farm
which he now occupies. He makes a
speciality ofe poultry, and his hen
houses are an interesting sight. The
houses and yards include two acres of
land, wherein he now has 500 hens and
ducks. Bramahs, Plymouth Rocks and
Wyandottes are the breeds Of hens he
keeps. Mr.. Robe finds that intelligent
and careful management will yield
excellent results and good profits in this
business. One of the most entertaining
of spectacles is the feeding Of this great
flock when they are scattered over the
farm. The old way Of feeding hens was
for the farmer to take dish Of corn,
go into the yard and call "biddie
biddie, biddie." while the fowl would
tumble over each other in their efforts to
get at the food. Mr.. Robes hens prob
ably would not understand the cry ibid.
die" They have been brought up to the
idea Of modern progress Mr.. Robe has
broadcast sower. a machine turned by
a crank, which throws grain far and
wide. When in operation it makes a
loud grinding noise. With this he scat
tiers food for his large flock. The
hens know that the machine means
food, and when they hear it there
is most remarkable rush. They
come from all parts Of the farm, the
stately and elegant ROSTERS. the pom
derous bramah chickens from the hall
grown down to the smallest ones just
out Of the shell, all come. most Of them
with headlong speed, and in with them
are ponderous and ridiculous ducks,
hurrying along with much noise and
flutter. Every one of them knows that
the sound Of the machine is the modern
substitute for the old cry Of "bids MIR.
Robe applies modern ideas throughout
his business, and is Of course successful.

CultivasiuG the B ust cry.

The Massachu 'etts Pl ughman SAYS
that Mr.. w. ID Huntington of Lynn has
been experimenting for three or four
years with considerable success In the
cultivation Of the high bush burberry.
His method has been to select the best
bushes in the wild state when In fruit
there is very wide difference in them,
some producing far larger berries and
more abundant than others The bushes
which bear the best berries are marked
when In fruit and after the leaves fall are
dug up and transplanted to the garden
Under cultivation they improve both in
size and productiveness increasing In d.
ameter Of berry from fifty to one hun
dred per cent with good culture. But
most Of the wild fruit ia OF inferior
quality and size, and would not repay
the trouble of transplanting. The sam.
pies of fruit shown by Mr.. Huntingdon
are fully half an inch in diameter, and
a twig five inches long had sixty three
berries upon it and its branches. The
practical difficulty in the way Of grow
ing this improved fruit is the difficulty
of propagaeing ii; when grown from
seed the blueberry does NOS perfectly
follow the parent plant, and when graft.
ed the stock Is rather troublesome in
throwing up large number Of suckers,
