REGARDING WIRE WORMS.
Various Methods Tried for Desfroyine
the Greedy Parasites.

Various Methods Tried for Desfroyine
the Greedy Parasites.
In many sections wire worms are
very destructiv. to growing crops, and
it has been exceedingly difficult to pro-
tect vegetation from them. At the
Cornell university experiment station
investigation has been in progress for
the past three years to determine the
utility of various recommended meas
urcs and to devise other effective ones.
Bulletin 50 contains the account of
these experiments and investigations.
Wire worms are long. slender grubs, of
a yellowish white color, having un-
usually hard bodies; the hardness and
form OF body suggested the name.
They are the young click-beetles or
swapping bugs, as they are often called
from their habit of doubling quickly
with n swapping noise when put upon
their backs. BY this movement they
throw themselves some distance into
the air and come down upon their feet
There are several species of these
beetles, the young of many being per-
fectly harmless, but others feed upon
seeds and the roots of plants which
they find in the soil. Destructive
species of wire worms were placed in
breeding cages, and the following
remedies were tied:
Protection Of Seed: l. BY q coating OF paria
green and -four; 2. BY a coating OF tar; BY
soakingin n salt solution; 4. BY soaking In q
eopperas solution; 3 BY soaking In q chloride
Of lime and copperas solution; Q. BY soaking In
kerosene oil; q BY soaking In turpentine: BY
soaking in strychnine solution
Destruction OF Wire-worms: I. BY starva-
tion. with clean fallow, with growth OF crops
supposed TO be free from attacks OF wire-worms
as buckwheat, mustard and rape 2 BY the use
OF insecticides as kerosene oil (pure and as an

BOGUS COFFEE.
How Frauds and Adulterants May Be
Readily Detected.

How Frauds and Adulterants May Be
Readily Detected.
Artificial coffees can be detected in
unground samples by a careful ex-
amipation and separation of all beans
which do not have portion of the fine
mem brane with which they were orig
inally invested, still adhering in the
cleft The suspected beans should be
cut open and the structure examined.
The uniform structure of the artificial
coffee is very distinctive and after COM
parison with that of genuine coffee
can never be mistaken for the latter.
Pure, ground, roasted coffee will
float on cold water, coloring it very
slightly and slowly, while bogus cof
fee, chicory, roasted cereals, etc, sink.
coloring the water quickly Chicory
is very easily detected by this test,
since the particles in sinking leave a
trail of color behind them. Cereals,
when "light roasted" may escape de-
lection by the water test but they
respond readily to iodine. giving the
characteristic reaction for starch. A
hot water extract of the adulterated
sample containing cereals, or other
starch bodies, when filtered, cooled,
acidulated with sulphuric acid and de-
colorized by permanganate of potas-
stun, will show blue color on the adj
ditIon of tincture of iodine. Chicory
contains no starch, hence if the water
is quickly colored and iodine does not
give the chara cteristic reaction, chicory
is probably present The microscopic
examination will rcvnol tho rroeonoo
of starches, If cereals. acorns, peas or
beans constitute the adulterant, and
generally sufficient relics of the orig
inal structures of these substances will
escape destruction in the.roasting proc
ess for their Identification. The pres
ence of chicory is also finally verified
by the microscope. .-Guilford L. Spen-

ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Bad Highways Are n Source of Great Loss
and Annoyaure.

n
and Annoyance
Under present conditions in most lo-
calities it is the farmer that loses most
by bad roads II is his teams that do
most of the heavy hauling on the roads
in getting his crops to market Before
so many railroads were built mer-
chants, millers and others in towns and
cities were obliged to do a considerable
amount of hauling, but large portion
of this is avoided now, and the farmer
is perhaps more interested in good
roads than any others. He must use
the roads all through the year. and it
is often the case when the farmers
should use them TO the best advantage
they are in the worst condition Bad
roads often prevent the farmer from
taking advantage of favorable time
to market his crops He must sell when
the roads are good. so that he can haul,
and in consequence his products are
forced upon the market during the lat
ter part of summer or early fall,
whether they are in demand or not
They are often bought and held until
there is better demand, and then they
are sold at profit
With better roads, so that farmers
could be sure of marketing at any time.
more or less of the products could be
stored and put on the market more
gradually. The extra wear and tear of
the teams, wagons and horses caused
by bad roads is an important item OF
expense, which, if 1t could be saved
and applied towards keeping up the
roads, would pay good part of the
expense.
One objection to the present system
of road work is that we fail to get
value received. The cost is made seem
ingly light, but in great majority of
cases better work could be done at half
the expense with better management
Experience has proved that the cost
of making good roads is readily repaid
by the.increased value of the farming
land near it, Yet many are hard to
convince that it is profitable to go to
the expense of building good roads.
But when well built they are never al
lowed to run down.
Il would hardly be possible to under
take to make all the roads good at
once, but if all the money spent by
county on roads scattered all over the
county, good part of which is practi-
cally thrown away, was concentrated
only on such length as could be made
thoroughly good, we should have good
roads in much less time than wcwisl
under the present system.
During the winter is good u n" %

themselves usually supply good argu.
ment and the farmer has more time TO
think and talk it over.-St. Louis Re-
