Pea and Bean Weeyils.

Many hundred bushels of garden peas
and beans, COW peas and SOFA beans
will be destroyed by weevils in this
state during the coming winter, unless
proper treatment be used. These wee
wills are two species of the genus Bru-
ehus Il. pisi, the pea weevll, is the lar
ger and is blacklist with white spots.
1t attacks only garden peas, never gar
den beans or the COW pea, which is a
true bean. The bean weevil, b. faba,
is rather small yellowish hairy in
sect This weevn never attacks gar
den peas. but is the greatest pest OF
beans and COW peas Both species lay
their eggs, upon the growing pods in
the field and garden. The eggs hatch
in few days and the young grub bores
it's way into the seeds. The grub lives
within the seed until it has completed
its growth and become perfect Or
winged insect. The pea weevil never
lays her eggs upon hard or mature
seeds: the bean weevll in warm eli
mate like ours, grows from the egg to
the winged state in about two months
The female at once lays her eggs upon
the hard and mature beans or COW peas,
and these in turn mature and produce
other insects and the process may con-
tinue, as many farmers know to their
cost, until the whole package of beans
or COW peas is consumed.
REMEDY.-The cheapest and most eff
fective remedy for both weevils is BIZ
sulphide of carbon. 1t is a good plan
to run the seed through tanning mill
shortly after gathering. This cleans
the seed and destroys many eggs on the
bean. Garden peas and beans kept for
seed and COW peas should always be
treated with this substance before be-
ing stored away and as soon as possible
after being harvested. Place the loose
seeds in a tight barrel which should
not be quite full. On top of the seeds
place saucer containing three Or four
tablespoonful of the bisulphide. Cover
the barrel tightly with a cover upon
which should be placed heavy cloth
Of any kind except rubber or oil cloth.
The bisulphide will quickly vaporize
and penetrate the entire mass of seeds
killing every grub and beetle. Allow
the covered barrel to stand for twenty
four hours, then remove the cover and
permit the fumes to escape. Never
bring a light into or near the room
while the fumes can be smelled as BIZ
sulphide of carbon is very intlammab bic.
The smell of this liquid is obicctiona-
BILE, but it is not lasting. The bisul-
phlde may not kill the eggs and to in
sure complete satisfaction repeat the
blsulphlde treatment after thirty days
Blsulphide of Carbon may be ordered
IN quart or pint cans from any dealer
In chemicals. for about twenty cents
per pound. Most druggists can supply
1t III smaller quantities but at higher
price.-Gerald Mccarthy, Entomologist,

Error in Report of Crimson Glover Seed
Yield for 1894.

A recent press article gave the crop
of seed for this year grown at the tx
pertinent farm at S44.61, per acre.
When this statement was made a por-
ton of the field recently added, was
unintentionally omitted from the cal
culation of the yield. We hasten to
make the correction. This increased
area would reduce the value of seed to
S31.S6 per acre. However if the straw
were included, the total value would
be about as first reported.
The crop of unhulled seed in 1898 was
1856 pounds per acre, which at the low
price realized this year, would amount
to S5S.6S per acre, or S1S.07 per acre
more than the crop for 1894 as first re-
ported.
The loss by weatherbeating amount
ed to S14.43, which is enough to empha-
size the necessity Of employing every
means possible to save the crop in good
weather. On this point the Experiment
Station expects to have a seasona bic
article for next spring before the seed
is ripe.-F. E. Emery, Agriculturist, n.

Ripening Tomatoes in Winter.

Among the many plans that have
been proposed for saving the tomatoes
which remain unripe at the coming of
frost, we have found the following the
most satisfactory:
When sharp frost is imminent gather
all the green tomatoes. Wrap each
separately in paper-old newspapers
will do. Now pack them in boxes and
store in cool place, just warm enough
to be secure from frost but not warm.
the object being to keep, not to ripen
them. Bring out few at a time as
they are wanted, and place in warm
place to ripen few days in advance
In this way we have for several years
had sliced tomatoes on our table up to
the middle of January.-W F. Massey.

Dreamer, OF Separator for Southern North
Carolina.

L want to buy creamer. Will you please
recommend the best make. The Cooley SUBJ
merges the milk and requires ice. Without
ice is the Cooley as good as any olher make -
R. 3. c. Charlotte. N. c.
answered by F. E. Emery Agriculturist
N. c. Experiment Station)
The Cooley is as good as any gravity
creamer we know, with or without ice.
We would recommend you to think of
separator if you have as many as five or
six cows, or if not SO many to increase
the number and use one or both to
reduce labor while saving it's cost in
butter over common methods of cream
ing. The gravity methods lose enough
which the centrifugal saves to pay for
the latter in reasonable time.
The machines we have tried and can
cheerfully recommend are, the Victoria
and United States separators. The lat
ter is made by the makers of the Cooley
creamer. (The Vermont Farm Machine
company, Bellows Falls, VT, who will
be reluctant to sell you a creamer to
use in our climate without ice, but who
know their separator will give you sat

the Dairymen's Supply company, Phil

Keeping Sweet Potatoes Through the
Winter.

The following method | have found
to keep sweet potatoes in perfect order
until June. Procure good supply of
pine straw from the woods in a dry time
and keep it under cover ready for use.
Dig the potatoes as soon as frost cuts
the vines, If not convenient to dig at
once cut the frosted vines off at once,
or they will harbor fungus growth that
warm sunny day-lay the potatoes
along the row as dug, and do not allow
them to be bruised by throwing into
piles. Handle at all times as gently as
eggs. Allow them to lie in the sun dur
ing the day, and in the evening haul to
a convenient place. Place good lay
err, foot thick, Of pine or other straw
on the ground, and on this, pile the pO-
tatOes in steep heaps, not over % BUSH
els in pile. Cover the piles thickly
all over with the dry pine straw-now
build rough board shed over the piles,
and let them remain until the weather
grows colder, or until they have gone
through a sweat and dried off. Then
cover the heaps with earth six or eight
inches thick and beat smooth. The inn
portant points are the sweating under
the previous cover ofthe pine straw be-
fore covering with earth, very careful
handling, and the board cover over
head. Dry earth keeps out more cold
than wet earth. If for family use. put
in smaller piles and take up an entire
heap at once for use, keeping them in a
dry warm place while using.-W. +.

To Destroy Sprouts and stumps.

What Is the best way and when is the best
time to destroy sprouts from an aspen tree
which come up in my yard I'll. B. B. Ra-
leigh, n. c.
answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Botanist.)
The aspen is botanically a poplar
Populus tremuloides and is one of the
most lnveterate sprouters. The best
time to destroy the tree and so prevent
future sprouts is about August Is. at
which time the roots are nearly ex-
hausted by the summer growth and
have not yet began TO store reserve ma
terial for next years growth. To get
rid of the tree now the best plan is to
cut it down and dig out the main roots.
Next year keep the sprouts closely cut
off and they will soon die out. Patent
root destroying chemicals are of very
little value and cannot be depended
upon.
