The Asparagus Beetle.

Mr.. Falconer of Glen Cove, N. Y,
is quoted as saying that the free appli-
cation Of lime to the affected beds is in
general use in several localities on the
island. One or two applications in a
season have been found to be of much
value AS preventive measure he prao-
tices cutting, carefully raking up and
burning the old stalks each fall. This
is not only consistent with clean culture,
but destroys the feeding ground for the
fall brood. Especially is this true if the
old stalks are cut as soon as the growing
season is over.
Much relief is also afforded by cut.
ting down the young seedlings in the
spring Thus, as DR.. Lintner has al.
ready noted, the females are forced tc
deposit their eggs on the young shoots.
AS these are cut almost daily for mar.
ket the eggs of what would be the Sec
ond brood are destroyed.
As chickens are very fond of the
beetles, many farmers allow them tc
run over their asparagus beds. This
method is reported from several locali.
ties as being very desirable one. -

Different Phosphates on Corn.

Q. A. Goessman of the Massachusetts
station reports an experiment with
phosphates ON corn. He says: Phosphat-
ic Stag, Mona guano, Florida rock phos-
phate, South Carolina floats, each at
the rate of $50 pounds per acre, and
dissolved bone at the rate of 500 pounds
per acre were applied in connection
with a constant quantity of nitrogen
and potash. The fertilizer applied to
each plat cost the same amount. The
largest yields of ears occurred where
ground Mona guano and South Carolina
phosphate were used, the largest yield
of stover with phosphate Stag.

MINERS WANTED TO WORK,

The miners employed in the Krause mine
at Massillon, held a meeting Wednesday after
noon and decided to resume work on the 60
cent basis pending the settlement upon state
rate. The operators favored this plan and the
mine whistle was blown Thursday morning
calling the men to work. The entire force OF
miners assembled at the mine prepared to
enter but their plans were blocked by the
appearance of state president Michael Ratch-
ford and district president John Mossop Of the
miners organization. consultation was held
and the miners were finally induced to remain

bers and melons practice starting their
plants in frames or hotbeds in order to
give them n chance to get we'll under
way before being exposed to the attack
Of the beetle. Others protect the hills by
covering them with screens or netting
of some kind so as to keep the beetles
away from the young vines.
In bulletin from the New York ex-
pertinent station the advice is given,
however, to spray with either london
purple or paris green as soon as the vines
are uncovered. Use pound of the poi.
SON to about 150 to 900 gallons of water,
with the addition of pounds of fresh
slaked lime. If preferred, the poison
may be applied dry, being mixed with
plaster, air slaked lime or flour, at the
rate of part by weight Of the poison to
about 30 parts Of plaster or other sub
stance used. In cases where the insects
continue to appear in unusual numbers
the application Of the poison should be
repeated several times.
Tobacco dust, when applied literally
and persistently on the hills and vines,
has been found effective in keeping the
beetles away. Air slaked lime also is
recommended and should be applied in
the same manner as thL tobacco dust.
In the cut is shown one Of these cucum'
ber beetles, greatly magnified, the reaI

CELERY IN THE HOME GARDEN.
10 or 10 inches wide and lay a line of
them over each side of the row; then
stand them up on edge against the celery
row, as shown in Fig 1. A little soil
may be thrown up against the boards
from each side with the hoe or hand
plow to hold them in place. In two
weeks the boarded up plants will be in
fairly good eating condition. When the
first couple of boards can be spared, they
are carried over to the next row, there
set up and banked up, as shown in Fig
Q, and other boards the same way in sue
oession. BY the time the first row of
celery is all gone we begin on the next,
and the boards as they can be spared
are carried to the third row and there
set up, as shown in Fig. 3. The last
planted row, which need not be fully
blanohed, may be taken up with roots
on and set upon the bottom Of q dark,
cool cellar for use during winter. This
is an easy way to have home supply of
celery during the entire nine months of
the celery season.

"subirrigation, applying water direct

Early LAYING and Brown Eggs.

The editor of Farm Poultry says: Our
experience is that the Wyandotte can be
got to early laying before the Plymouth
Rock. The Plymouth Rocks generally
give the larger and browner eggs, al

strongly planted in the Wyandotte
breed. The cross Of White Leghorn OH

Many home gardeners make altogeth-

requires too much labor or skill. In fact,
full home supply can be produced with
very little of either. The task will be
extremely simple If the following direo-
tions from American Cultivator are OBJ
served:
As soon as the earliest plants are large
enough to set in the open ground, say
in May, put in row or two in the rich
est part of the garden. Have the plants
about FIVE inches apart. Next to the row
or rows of celery you may have radish
or any other quick maturing crop that
will be off by July and make room for
row or two of late celery. A row of
this may be set alongside Of the early
celery, say at distance Of two or three
feet, just as soon as the late celery
plants are large enough. Another row
or two may be set in the same manner
a week or two later. Early in July the
first set (early) plants will be large
enough for blanohing. Get some boards
