end of the fruit at this time, and the
worms, Matching out, eat their way in
to the core of the fruit, where they
are so often found. The worms leave
the trees in the fall and crawl
into the crevices of the bark or
other hiding places, and there form
their light brown cocoons, in which
they spend the winter, maturing into
moths in the early summer. To de-
stroy them, the trees may be scraped
or washed with hot lime wash on the
trunks to the first limb. To wrap
some loose cloth, as a strip of baEsing
around the tree, will entice the moths
to make their cocoons under il when

WHEELS AND RIDERS.

Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY STANTON says
that women are riding to suffrage on
a bicycle"
CuAPERoNs who can ride bicycles nre
In great demand in all of the large cit
les of the country.
DocToRs have declared that the heart
of Zimmerman, the famous bicycle
rider. is fully two inches longer than
the average size of hearts
w. D. BACHELOR, of Cornell college,
Iowa, has gone on trip, with two
companions, through Europe, Egypt
and Palestine on wheels. They expect
to pay expenses by corresponding with
papers, the three having list of forty
seven.
G. T. PARDIGoN was the first man
seen on bicycle in Richmond, Va. He
visited his old home in Paris about 1871,
and brought very tall wheel back
with him. A conservative estimate Of
wheels In actual use in Richmond
would be two thousand.
REV. Mr.. FAIRBANKS, an American
missionary In India, attributes large
part of his success to the use of a
bicycle. Not only is he enabled to
cover a more extensive territory with
1t. but the natural curiosity of the ma
tives brings large crowds to see "a horse
that needs neither grass nor grain"
If women bicyclers will have the
saddle directly over the pedals and so
high that when the pedal is down the
foot must be bent to reach It, they will
make much more graceful appear
ance. This will, of course, make
mounting somewhat more difficult, but
the Objectionable knee action will be
less obtrusive.

The isolated life of the farmer has
its disadvantages, but this very isola-
ton enables him to live nearer home
and farther from the evil influences
that in cities cause the ruin of thou

1t is estimated that three thousand
carloads of peaches will be shipped
from Georgia this season. The bulb
of this wonderful fruit crop were
sent to market during the first, second

Prof. Stewart says that lime is the
most important part of the mineral
elements of nearly every plant. The
ash of plant is made up of these min,
eral elements, and by examining the
ash, he says, we may discover what
kinds add quantities of mineral mat
tiers the plant requires.
When prices of stock are good the
best animals bring the most money and
the largest profit, and when the bottom
falls out of the market nothing but
good stock will save us from loss. Good

salvation for the raiser.
Always burn the refuse materials
taken from the nests. The real breed
ing places for lice are the nests, which
are kept at an even temperature by sit
ting hens, and the hens hatch out more
lice than chicks. All nests should be
cleaned at least once a week, and every
portion of refuse should be consumed
by fire.
lin making gilt-edge butter it is
highly important that the churn be
stopped at the right moment. This is
clearly indicated by the change in the
sound when the butter comes. When
the granules reach about the size Of
wheat grains butter is in the best con-
dition for washing out the buttermilk
and distributing the salt.
Rice is being recommended as a
food for stock. The average price Of

broken rice that always sells far be-

cRAe GRASS.



ering of Crab Grass.
1t is fashionable for agricultural
writers and editors to advise farmers
to grow crab grass for hay. In the
light of our own experience and OBJ
servation, we consider this very bad
advice. AS injurious as entire naked
ness during summer is to our soil, we
would prefer nakedness and exposure
to our summer sun to a covering of
crab grass. We admit that it makes
cheap hay, which is relished by all
kinds of stock, but not so nutritious as
hay from pea vines, and but little
cheaper, when the heavier yield of pea
vines per acre is considered. There
are three serious objections to growing
crab grass upon our cultivated lands,
viz:
1. 1t stocks the soil with seed, which
will greatly increase the cost of cult.
waiting the crop which is 10 follow, and
if any of the seed are ripe when the hay
is harvested, the manure from the ami.
mails fed will contain the seed, which
pass through undigested and with their
vitality unimpaired on account of their
small size, and consequently escape
from mastication.
Q. 1t leaves the land full of tussocks
of roots and gives much trouble in the
preparation of the land for the next
crop. In fact, we rarely see land up
on which a crop of crab grass grew the
previuos year half prepared for the
next crop. If it is put in good condi-
ton, the additional labor necessitated
by the presence of the crab grass roots
increases the cost of producing the
next crop.
8. It impoverishes the soil more than
man millet is generally considered an
exhaustive crop, but the facts which
we give below show that crab grass is
far more exhaustive than millet. 1t,
being a true grass, is a nitrogen con-
sumner. Its multitude of fbrous roots,
parmeating every particle of the soil.
furnishing the means of effecting =
thorough robbery.
While director of the Alabama ex-
pertinent station, we decided to com
pare German millet and crab grass us
hay producers. We selected two meas
ured acres, which previous cropping
had shown to be of equal fetility; pre-
pared them alike and applied equal
quantities of the same brand of COM
mercial manure to the two acres. The
only difference in the treatment of the
two was that German millet seed was
sown upon one and the crab grass al
lowed to grow upon the other.
The yield of hay upon the two acres
varied only 200 pounds in favor of the
crab grass, which was cut twice, tho
millet once. The next year both acres
were planted to cotton and treated
alike in every respect.
From the termination of the seed to
the maturity of the crop, the crab grass
acre presented the appearance of an
unfertilized plot. The yield of cotton
was reduced one-half as the effect OF
the crop of crab grass the previous
year. In our opinion the injury which
crop of crab grass causes is not CON-
pensated for by the value of the crop
of hay grown.
Every farmer is familiar with the in
furious effects of this grass upon grow.
ing crops. If they fully appreciated
its effects upon the subsequent pro-
ductiveness of the soil, they would put
forth more strenuous efforts to exter-
inmate it.-Cor. Agricultural South.

Fire at ASheViile.

AsHEvILLE, N. c., Feb. g.
About midnight fire broke out
in the Alexander building on
Court Square. The mercury was
four degrees below zero and the
water supply was low. About
twenty guests of the Western
Hotel, in the adjoining Johnston
block, got out at the first alarm,
saving nothing, and scurried to
other hotels, half dressed. A
fierce, icy wind was blowing, but
by desperate fighting volunteer
fremen and citizens kept the
flames within the buildings. The
business section of the town was
threatened at one time, when the
water was lowest. Two upper
stories of the Johnston building,
containing the Western Hotel,
were Quilted, and John Rich's
hardware store on the first floor
was badly damaged by fire and
water.
The adjoining block, belonged
to Kelly F. Alexander, was gut
ted, nothing being left but the
walls. The Western Caroline
Bank building, also owned by
Alexander, was flooded with
water and the upper story burn
ed out. The fire gained a foot
hold in the rear of a building
facing on Patton avenue, but die
not spread.
