the white Grub.

During the present year there has been
unusual complaint of damage from grub
worms. Not only was corn injured, but
in some districts meadows and pastures
were seriously affected. The presence
Of the grub nnumbers sufficient to be
dangerous cannot be known until the
damage done becomes apparent, max
ing it very difficult to fight the pest
This grub is the larvae of the May bee
tie or June bug and is always present
to some extent, but the damage is usu-
ally insignificant. This year, however,
the grubs are found in some districts in
unprecedented numbers.
Remedies are difficult to suggest
Prairie Farmer advises where corn has
suffered that hogs be turned into the
fields as early as possible, as they will
root out and eat the grubs. Fall plowing
should be done late enough to turn them
up to cold weather. In meadows they
work in patches, eating off the grass
roots just below the surface, dotting
fields with is&d spots. Here it is even
more difficult to reach them. The only
effective remedy seems to be to turn
the sod up, even if it necessitates re-
seeding The urgency of each particular
case will deter eImine the necessity Of
such extreme measures.
Next year. when the May and June
beetles are feeding upon the foliage of
trees future broods could be prevented
by energetic spraying of orchard, orna-
mental and, as far as practicable, forest
trees with paris green or other insecti-
cides.

PROTECTION AGAINST fRosTs.


How This vital Subject La ConsIdered By
The American Agriculturist.
This iss vital matter to fruit grow
ers and truckers, whose seasons labor
and investment may be wiped ont by a
single destructive frost. The more valu-
able the crop aeid the greater the risk Of
frost the more effort and expense may
be safely put. into means Of protecting
against frosts. * famous California or
ange grove is equipped with system
Of iron pipes through which water IL
conducted to nozzles at frequent inter
walls, the idea being that the spray will
ward OF light frosts. Barrels of. tar and
rubbish in different parts Of the orchard
are available for making smudge Of
smoke, which Is the most practicable
means yet devised. -s4.si
In the case of freeze such as visited
California two years ago and Florida
last winter on real hard frost in other
sections, neither of these methods is Of
much avail Smoke is good against all
light frosts, and is easily obtained.
Strawy manure, leaves, rubbish, ETC.,
should be piled in the lowest places and
about the sides, and covered with hay
caps or. ducking, previously painted
with two coats Of inseed oil and dried,
SO as to be always dry. Have barrel Of
kerosene oil handy, some cans and
torches.
When frost threatens, set night
watch to inspect thermometers placed
ON stakes in various parts of the field,
especially in the most exposed places.
If the mercury drops to So degrees by
or 2 a. m. 1t is likely to mean frost of
more or less severity before sunrise.
Then call up the folks, light the torches
and let each person take torch and oil
can, previously filed, and set fire to the
row of rubbish heaps previously assign
ed him. If the wind blows the smoke
away from the field, carry some rubbish
over to that side SO the smoke will be
blown on to instead Of off from the field.
If the danger never comes, no expense
worth mentioning has been incurred, as
the piles can be scattered and plowed
under for manure or burned, the ashes
making excellent fertilizer. No prudent
person thinks of leaving his buildings
uninsured against fire. Certainly it is
just as important to insure against frosts
SO far as it can be done by such simple
means as smoke coverings or water. We
wish all who have had experience in this
matter would send it for publication.
Mr.. e. P. Powell, successful and
brainy horticulturist in western New
York, writes:
"The very best preventive against
frost is not fires, but thorough spraying
with water during the evening and
night. When this can be done, we can
overcome the danger from fall Of two
or three degrees. This will often save
our. whole crop. This last spring lost
my grapes by margin of not more
than two degrees, but on preceding
night anticipated the frost by deluging
the trellises with water. OF course bon
fires may also be used. anticipate we
shall be compelled to adopt irrigation
in all the eastern states"

Wheat In Massaohu.etta.

So far as soil and climate are concern
ed, winter wheat can be grown in west
ern Massachusetts as successfully as in
the state of New York, Ohio or Illinois.
But in either of these states, unless it
follows some crop which was heavily
mannred or clovered, average lands
need some special fertilization. It may
be sown at amy time from Aug. 90 until
Sept. 90. Probably the best soil for
wheat is light clayey loom. Wheats
are known as "hard" and soft" and
the soft would be best for feeding poul-
try. ,Sown at the time named, it would
be ready for the harvest between July l
and 90, writes Professor Stockbridge In
The New England Homestead.

WARRINGTON, Oct. f2.-Attorney Gen
eral Harmon, within the last few weeks,
has received large number of letters
making inquiry as to the rights of Ameri-
can citizens under International law with
respect to expressing their sympathy with
Cuba, either materially or otherwise, in
her present struggle. In replying he says:
while there Is no law to prevent AHeri-
can citizens from speaking their senti-
ments on any subject, singly or together,
taking such action as you mention in your
letter would, in my Judgment, be discour-
teous in the highest degree to friendly

HALIFAX, n. g., Oct. 1.-THE mail
steamer from Kingston, Jamaica, brings
an account by an American citizen. who
was q passenger on hoard the steamship
Alene, Of the Atlas lima, from New York
10 Kingston, Jamsica, Of the firing upon
1t bya Spanish gunboat, while passing the
eastern end Of Cuba, Sept. 25.
The American says in part: "The gum
boat was a mile from the island when first
seen, evidently lying In wait for vessels
intending to land men and ammunition
for the Cuban revolutionists. The Alene
kept on her regular course; passing abreast
of the gunboat some two miles distant.
When slightly south of Cape Maysi light
house the report Of q cannon was heard,
and cloud Of smoke was seen issuing
from the port bow Of the gunboat. Captain
seiders, thinking that 1t was nothing
more than gun practice, kept his course.
After an interval Of ten minutes second
puff Of smoke was seen, followed by
another report Of the gun. The captain
then knew it could not be practice, and
the Alene was at once put about and came
10 full stop.
Instantly upon seeing the Alene hesve
TO the gunboat started at half speed, head
ing directly for the merchan tman. As she
advanced she fired third shot. This was
at least ten minutes after the Alene swung
around, and was apparently without the
slightest reason, for Captain Seiders was
prompt in observing the international reg
ulations Of the merchantman, hoisting the
signal inquiring II the Spaniard wanted to
communicate or come on board.
Without replying or manifesting the
slightest intention Of recognising the sig
nails, the gunboat continued steaming
slowly on until little over mile away,
when, turning her bow to the starboard,
she made for the nearest headland, and,
increasing to full speed, evidently disin-
clined to come nearer or give any explana-
tion Of her action.

GUAYAMAs, Mexico, Oct. 12.-Advices
slowly reaching this port from Pacific
ports Of Mexico and ports on the west side
of the gulf of California, show that tho
hurricane which swept northward during
four days--Sept. 80, Oct. / and 8-caused
great damage to property and shipping,
and that number of lives were lost. Tho
The hurricane was accompanied by deluges
of water, which completed the ruin tho
wind had wrought. The Ahomy river over
flowed its banks and destroyed sugar plan
tation and sugar mills thirty miles away
from the channel of the stream. The
damage to the sugar interests Of the states
Of Siraloa and Sonora is estimated Mt asv-
