PUMPKINa-

Pumpkins are very valuable for feed
ing hugs or cattle. 1t is strange that
farmers do not realize how useful the
crop Is, for pumpkins can be eaten as
we'll whom green as ripe without any
injurious effects to the dairy COW. On
the contrary, the pumpkin will do
much to keep the flow of milk, and if
given to pigs, will tend to keep them
in good condition. The common yell
low field pumpkin is the easiest to raise
and answers as we'll as any other va
riety. With little care pumpkins
may be kept until January in good
condition, and are particularly valua-

ENEMY OF THE POTATO BUG.

A peculiar insect that preys upon
the pestiferous potato bug is reported
from Kingston. Doctor Robert Tough
ran, of that city, has a planting of
potatoes in his garden, and when he
examined the vines the other morning,
he found countless dead bodies of the
bugs, which had 30 annoyed him,
strewn on the ground while the plants
were completely cleared of the pests.
A closer investigation revealed a
swarm of peculiar insects lowering in
the air over the vines. Nothing like
them had ever been seen in the neigh
borhood before. They were longer
and narrower than the potato bugs,
and had red wings. They were evil
IDENTIFY engaged in waging q relentless
war on the bugs. They would swoop
down on the unsuspecting potato de-
vourer, seize it and sting or bite it in
the neck. That was sufficient, how
ever, for the bug would drop to the
ground and yield up the ghost with
out struggle. They went to work
systematically and not single bug
seemed to escape them. Doctor
Loughran reported his discovery to
his neighbours, with the result that
countless other swarms Of the DESTROY
ers were found. The farmers would
welcome such parasite as this far
more keenly than would the mnnufac-
turers of paris green.-Albany IN.

SOWING GRASS AND CLOVER IN THE FALL.
If grass or clover seed is sown in the
fall, no mattor what plan is followed,
1t IS important the seeding be done
reasonably early in order that the
plants will get well established before
cold, freezing weather sets in.
Young grass or clover plants are
often killed out in the fall OF early
winter before they get fairly started
BY sowing early this may be largely
avoided.
One of the best plans. is to make all
the necessary preparations and when
ever the soil is in good condition for
the termination of the seed the sowing
can be pushed along rapidly. Moth

30 that seed sown will not germinste.
But by making all preparations in ad-
vance the work can be pushed along
very rapidly when the conditions are
favorable. One way of sowing both
grass and clover seed is with or on the
fell wheat. The best plan is to use the
