Conauering the Grasshopper.

A machine used with success in Yer
mont carries two pans of galvanized
iron 5 feet long, IS inches wide, feet
deep and having back IS inches high.
These pans are divided into three Sec
tions and fastened to wooden shoes, into
which they are set about ~ inches
from the ground. The apparatus is at
tached to pair Of wheels with long
axle-one that runs through the wheels
about IS inches being the best. The
pans are filled with an emulsion. Either
kerosene and water, soft soap and wa
ter, chloride Of lime and water or any Of
the soap powders are good. Each section
of the pans holds about three gallons of
water and has to be refilled for each
catch. To catch the grasshoppers to adj
vantage one should take them early in
the morning or at sunrise, when they
are on the grass, feeding. Two men and
two horses are needed for each machine,
as one horse could not stand it to drag
the heavy apparatus through the grass,
for one must drive fast to catch the lit
tie pests.

''Talk about stormy times in legisla-

''We have had them in Colorado. Mr..
Peter Breen, a gentleman with rich Irish
brogue, and the Hon. Michael Costello,
also of pronounced Irish antecedents, werd
both elected to the Colorado legislature.
Breen was chosen as Republican, and
Costello owed his election to the Demo-
Gratis. They were sworn enemies, and
everybody who knew them-and they were
both characters in their way-predicted a
barrel of fun. Their antipathy was pro-
nounced and open. They disliked each
other with genuine cordiality The fun
began as soon as both felt warm in their
seats. Whenever Costello was called to
the chair, Breen would be sure to do some
thing that would irritate his opponent,
and whenever Breen presided Costello
would find an occasion to make the other
feel exceedingly uncomfortable

TURNlPs AS 4 SECOND CROP. ~
The Expense Is Small and the Value GreAt
as Feed For Stock.

The Expense Is Small and the Value Circuit
as Feed For Stock.
Land from which crops are harvested
early in the summer should not be al
lowed to go idle, and there is no second
crop so valuable to grow on it as tur
nlps Even fair success can be had when
the turnlp seed are sown in the cornfeld
when it is worked the last time, writes
correspondent Of American Cultivator.
He says: The roots may not get large
enough to sell in the market, but they
will be of great value as feed for cattle
and sheep, and also for home, USE One
Of the best fall pastures for sheep, hogs
and cattle is cornfield from which the
corn has been gathered and where young
turnips are growing. The animals find
great nourishment for month or more
in such turnip patch. They will eat
both cornstalks and turnips as the mood
seizes them. After they have finished the
field the roots left in the ground can be
taken up some mild day in the fall and
stored for winter use, but sheep and
hogs, as rule, will root down and eat
the very ends of the roots.
The early fat varieties of turnips are
profitable even when they sell for only IS
cents per bushel, and this price can be
obtained for them at nearly any season
Of the year. They more often bring 30
or 40 cents per bushel, SO that the labor
Is well paid. The rutabagas, or Swedes,
cannot be grown so successfully as Sec
ond crop unless planted very early in
the season, as they require considerable
time to ripen before freezing weather.
They are in more demand, however,
and bring 80 cent per bushel when the
fat turnips sell for half that. One thing
about turnips is that if there is no prof
liable market for them they will always
repay one for growing them as food for
cattle.
The expense Of growing the crop is
small. The seed is cheap, and the land
used would otherwise remain idle for
the rest Of the season. The land is al
ready soft and mellow from the cultiva-
ton OF the previous crop, and it only
needs surface blowing and narrowing
A few hundred pounds of bone dust
should be spread over the land at this
blowing, and when the land is mellow
and smooth enough for the seed the
work is nearly complete. Mark the land
off and SOW by hand or use garden
drill and planter that will drop the
seeds carefully in rows, using less than
a pound Of seed to the acre.
This is the most economical way, al
though some prefer to scatter the seed
broadcast, especially when it is to be
used for pasturing cattle When the
seed is used in the cornfeld, this broad
cast sowing is probably better. The tur-
nips should be cultivated as any other
garden vegetable, thinning out to six or
eight inches in the row. The harvesting
must take place before severe freeze
in the fall can injure the plants.

Why Tomatoes Rot,

The rotting of the first formed toma.
toes before they fairly ripen indicates
excess Of heterogeneous fertilizer and de.
1ciency of mineral, especially of potash.
The tomato is full Of seeds, and these
require potash. A dressing Of wood
ashes or Of potash salts should always
be applied when planting tomatoes. II
is better than stable manure, which
makes large leaf growth with compare
lively little fruit. Nitrate of soda, how
ever, is good for both growth and fruit
fitness. 1t also helps to make the crop
ripen earlier than it otherwise would

Nearly all our grass is cut too late,
