WEEVlLS IN CORN,
A Remedy Given by the Georgia Depart
ment OF Agriculture.

A Remedy Given by the Georgia Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.
Give me some remedy for weevils in
corn. j. E. W., Fort Gaines.
How can I keep weevils from beans}
j. j. NJ. l., Buchanan.
The bisulphide of carbon has been
very highly recommended for the de-
struction of weevils. On this subject
we take the following by Mr.. II. e.
Weed, of the Agricultural college of
Mississippi, from The Southern Planter:
In the February number of The
Planter is an article under the above
head, which treats of the method of de-
stroying weevils by means Of bisulpiide
of carbon. The article in question, how
ever, hardly gives the best method of
the application of the bisu1phide, nor
where best obtained. The bisulphide ia
very useful as remedy for any insects
which may work within stored seeds or
grain of any kind. It is best applied to
the grain by simply pouring quantity
over the top of the grain to be treated.
When corn Is harvested it should be
carefully examined for the grain insects;
and If they are present, as they general~
ly are, the corn should receive treat
ment by meas of the bisulphide rome
dy. 1t is best to have tight bin for
this treatment, but this item is not es-
sential to success, although the tighter
the bin the less amount of bisulphide it
will take for the treatment. In the case
of corn, also, if it is husked it will take
less of the bisulphide for the treatment.
There is no danger in the use of the
bisulphide if only care is taken to keer
fire of any kind away from it. While It
can be obtained from the drug stores at
a cost of from 90 to 40 cents per pound.
it is best obtained direct from the man
ufacturer, Edward R. Taylor, Of
Cleveland, Ohio, who sells it
in 5O-pound lots at 10 cents per pound.
1t will pay every farmer to get go
pound can, for it is one of the things
essential to successful agriculture, and
is something which should be kept on
hand at all times. The bisulphide OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Taylor is better pro-
duct than that generally to be obtained
from the drug stores, as his ''fuma" BIZ
sulphide is prepared especially for the
treatment of grain pests.
Let me here call attention to the fact
that little labor spent in the spring in
gathering up the weevils which often
swarm in empty grainaries at this sea-
son will greatly lessen the number of
the weevils which will attack the grain
the following autumn. The weevils in
the empty or nearly empty grainaries
should be swept up into shovel and
killed by placing in a pail containing

INFORMATION ON SPURRY.

Elaborate Experiments Have Been Made
at the Experiment Station.
Will you kindly give me some infor-
nation in regard to spurry as a forage
plant, how to plant, etc.
I. w. W., Hamilton.
Elaborate experiments have been
conducted at the Michigan experiment
station with spurry from which we take
the following, as compiled by an agri-
cultural paper, which will give a sue
cinct answer to your inquiry:
This is new plant to Michigan and
| probably to most other states, but is an
old plant In some sections Of the world.
In Scotland it is called yarr and In Nor
way pickpurse; in Germany IL is sown
among the stubble as food for sheep
during winter. In France the yield Of
spurry is estimated to be about equal to
crop Of clover or 1900 pounds per
acre. The seeds are fed to cattle and
horses and supposed to be equal to rape
cake in value. In five or six weeks it
reaches height of 19 to IA inches and
is said to be valuable food for COWS as
it improves the quantity and quality Of
the butter.
Sown April 20 at the rate of Is to "a
pounds per acre, it natures the last Of
May and second crop may be raised.
1t has been called the clover of sandy
soils. DR.. Kedzie, who experimental
with it ON light sand at Grayling,
Mich, says that when partially ripened
and plowed under with very shallow
furrow, it is self seeding and bears an
abundant crop. Its value as a MANURE
al plant on these light sands is pro-
nounced. When plowed under it en-
riches the soil the most rapidly of any
other plant he has used. 1t is a valua-
BILE fodder plant, being eaten readily by
cows or sheep; it is plant of great
value for bringing sandy lands into pro-
ductive fields, especially is this true OF
the jack pine barrens of that state.
The soil for spurry requires the same
preparation as that for clover, the seed
being sown and narrowed in the same;
the seed is smaller than clover seed.
hence there are more in number per
pound. In harvesting 3 to 12 bushels of
seed per acre are obtained. Thick seed
ing gives an even field of fine pasture
and heavy swath when cut for hay.
If the weather is warm and moist, the
field will begin to show green the third
day from the time of seeding; it is
ready for Snowing for hay in about 6
weeks and will ripen the seed in about
two months; for pasturing it may be
used in from to weeks.
The Introduction of spurry as a for
age crop alone will prove of immense
benefit. but it's use as a manurial crop
is of much greater value. In an expert
ment more wheat was produced follow
ing spurray than where 800 pounds of
phosphate was used per acre. AT Gray
ling experiment farm, 10 acres were
broken in the spring and sown with
spurry, which was plowed under in Au-
gust and the land sown with wheat.
The land beside it was planted with
wheat following clover, and one beside
that following timothy, which had been
fairly well covered with barnyard ma
'nure. The wheat on the spurry field
went into winter looking stronger than
either Of the other fields. Spurry is also
Valuable plowed under as 4 fertilizer
in the orchards.

TO KILL THE BORER.

The owner of a ounce orchard of
5000 trees keeps the borer from them
by going through the orchard and
killing the borers with sharp wire.
He claims complete exemption can be
had by protecting the trunk from an
inch or two below the surface to the
height of twenty inches or two feet.
The main thing, he says, is to prevent
the beetle from depositing its eggs.
For this purpose he procured stout
cloth and had it cut in fifteen-inch
squares. These he dipped in hot gas
tar and pitch mixed, and when coated
he wrapped piece around the trunk
of each tree. The prevention was
perfect. He found afterward that
paper would do as well. He explained
that the borer, which enters some dis
tance above the ground, differs from
the ordinary variety. 1t is called the
fat-headed borer, which does its mis-
chief near the ground, even below the
surface in the roots of trees.-Chicago

sEAsoNABLE POULTRY HINTS.

Give the hens intended for breeders
sweet, nourlshing food, and keep them
in motion, but do not overfeed with
corn in any form, for very fat fowls
are poor breeders and are more liable
to lay soft-shelled eggs.
If you have not plenty of pine
needles on hand, do not fail to lay in
q stock this fall, for they make excel
lent nests all the year round, and are
particularly good for the sitters in the
spring. They are clean, cool, and be-
ing free from anything green, are no
attraction for the hens to scratch in
for food.
The symmetry of the stock and the
size and color of the eggs can be in
fuenced largely by care in selection
of eggs for Matching, using only those
which are large, dark and from we'll
formed fowls.
Keep the house clean, and when
space is limited and the fowls cannot
get out much be all the more particu-
lar, and do not overstock. A flock of
eight or ten is about right, and can
be nicely managed and kept in good
thrift. Clean off under the roosts
each morning and scatter dry sand on
the boards at each cleaning. Rake
and stir up the ground at every clean
ing so that the bottom will be fine and
dry for the dusting Of the fowls.
The tools handiest for cleaning are

pacity of two ordinary pals, a piece

The Chameleon Spider.

'It has always been hobby OF
mine" said T. L. Grimshaw, Of
Raleigh, N. c., "to collect strange
bugs and insects during my travels,
and I think I have succeeded in get.
ting together pretty choice collec-
tion. Of the whole assortment think
the chameleon spider, which I got last
summer on the coast of Africa, is the
most valuable. The capture of this
insect was highly interesting to me.
One afternoon, while tramping along
a dusty road, I noticed in the bushes
which grew along the side what ap-
peared to be singula Hooking white
flower, with blue centre. Stopping
to examine it I found, to my astonish-
ment, that 1t was not q flower at all,
but spiders web, and that the sup
posed light blue heart of the flower
was the spider itself, lying in wait for
its prey. The mottled brown legs OF
the spider were extended in such
way as to resemble the divisions be-
tween the petals of flower.
.'The web itself, very delicately
woven into a rosette pattern, was
white, and the threads that suspended
it from the bushes were so fine as to
be almost invisible. The whole thing
had the appearance of being suspend.
ed in the alr upon stem concealed
beneath. Upon knocking the spider
from his perch into the white gauze
net which T carried, my surprise was
greatly increased by seeing my cap
tive instantly turn in color from blue
to white. shook the net, and again
the spider changed color, this time its
body becoming dull greenish brown.
As often as I would shake the net just
so often would the spider change its
color, and I kept it up until it had as
sumed about every hue of the rain

WOMEN'S HATS.
ODD SHAPES FOR THE FALL
AND WINTER.
Jet and Steel Ornaments to BE
Largely Used New Colors
That VIII Be Worn
Fashions In Furs.

TIALL and winter hats show
H. shapes of two distinct types
y perfectly straight brimmed
and severe, or the more or less
picturesque variations OF the Char
lotte Corday bonnet or the picture
hat. The latter hats are often ridicu-
lously large and sometimes are be-
trimmed and befeathered until they
verge upon the grotesque. But GER
tain types of faces are made all the
more attractive when enhanced by
such bizarre settings as the ruche
brims more often than not afford, and
are rendered oil the more fetching and
chic by these quaint substitutes for
the now almost discarded Auted brim.
Indeed, hats are almost without
dents, quite in contrast to the shapes
of the past season. This is especially
true of felts, which, as q rule, are
stiff, straight and severe. Oftentimes
there is no brim at all-only very
high, pointed crown, softened at the
base by huge bows of trimming.
Jet and steel ornaments are largely
used; cut steel ornaments and buckles
will lead the style this winter. Bead
buckles will also be in great favor.
Handsome crescents of lace, applique
ing the corner OF the now fashionable
soft mortar board crownsto the brims,
are very artistic and are correspond
ingly expensive.
