Advice to Farmers.

/ Fhe. small grains are ripening and con-
sequently becoming unfit as food for the
bugs, which can only live upon fluids. AS
consequence the bugs migrate in search
of food. They have evidently acute
senses for some Of them tell the bugs
where suitable food can be found. This
is the growing corn. Nearly all of the
chinch bugs travel together towards the
nearest corn field, and as even those that
have wings are not apt to use them they
march on foot. This being the case,
most of the bugs can be killed.
To accumulate and kill them as they
pass from field to field. a deep furrow
row may be plowcd, to be kept clean
as possible, especially on the
vertical side next to the field TO be pro-
tected, SO in this the accumulating bugs
may be killed by mixture of kerosene
and water (about one partto eight thor
oughly and repeatedly shaken together.
A variation of this method, used very
successfully in Wisconsin, is to lay a
quantity of green wheat, or oats, or fresh
corn stalks in the burrows, in which
the chinch bugs can be killed with
the kerosene mixture as they accumulate.
An added measure of success may he
secured if two parallel burrows are
made instead of one, and the soil be.
tween them be kept dusty. The chinch
bugs escaping the kerosene mixture or
other destructive agent in the outer fur
row conld be killed in the second. II
they succeed in passing these barriers
and collect upon the octer rows OF corn
they may there he killed with kerosene
which should then be applied in the form
of an emulsion to prevent injury to the
corn itself: To prepare this fluid, mix
two parts of kerosene with one part OF
strong hot soap-suds and vigorously agi.
tate the mixture with hand force pump
until a permanent cream or batter is
formed. This may then he diluted with
ten or twelve parts of water and applied
either with sprinkler or in a spray
from a hand force pump.
There are other methods to prevent
the bugs from reaching the corn. A thick
rope made of hay or straw, saturated
| with water and kerosene oil will prevent
them from crossing. This rope should
be kept wet. The bugs gathered in from,
can be disposed Of in many ways. Loose
straw laid between old grain fields and
the corn to be protected, will gather i'm
mense numbers Of chinch bugs, here they
can be destroyed by fire. Even fence
made of boards, one foot broad and kept
in ali upright position by some pegs, will
prevent the bugs from crossing, if the
upper edge is coated with tar, or with
soap and kerosene oil. Many other ways
will suggest themselves to the thinking
farmer. At all events he can keep the
bugs out of his corn fields with the pro
per care.
