INJURIOUS INSECTS.

We would be glad to have our read
ers make note of the insects that do
any decided injury to any OF the
crops of the garden, farm or orchard.
What insects are preying upon the
cabbages this season, likewise the
corn? Keep keen lookout for the
first appearance of any upon the mel
ons, potatoes, cotton, etc. Any dam
aging insect that you are not ac-
quainted with we would be glad to
have sent to us lin pill box), that is,
if you feel any interest in regard to
them or their work. Some insects
nre very numerous this season. and
we would like very much to know
which sections are the worst infected.
Now that our birds are about exter-
minated, the fruit grower, the farmer
and the gardener will be forced to re-
sort to measures for protection that
perhaps he has never before been
called on to make. 1t appears that
from now on, at least for q while, the
fight against insects and blight must
be of an intelligent and unanimous
character, else the effort to grow
crops will be in vain.-Atlanta Jour-

A DARING FEAT.
capture of q French General BY a
Young English officer.

An English exchange has at this late
5av discovered authority for an incident
nf the Battle OF Waterloo that has prob
ABLY never been in print. 1t says:
The only prisoner made by the English
reecrve Of Waterloo was French Cen
eral. whose capture was due 70 the cool
head and stout heart of young brigade
Major, anxious for an adventure.
During the battle several regiments OF
cavalry and infantry were kept IN reserve,
under heavy fire from the French
runs. Great was the havoc and neither
men nor horses relished the passive atti-
tude to which they were condemned.
While a group of young officers, in
front of the left wing of the reserve,
were discussing the situation, their at
tention was attracted to French gen
eral and his staff. all on horseback, who
were looking through their glasses at
the Enolishmen. One of the group was
Captain Helkett, young brigade major,
mounted on a thoroughbred. Suddenly
he exclaimed :-"rll lay any one G5 that
| will bring that French general over
here, dead or alive. Who'll take my
bet?'' Done, done, done!" shouted
several officers.
The captain examined the saddle
girths and his pistols. Then, shouting
"Good- by" and putting spurs to his
horse, he dashed at furious pace across
the plain between the British and French
lines His comrades followed him with
their glasses, not speaking word. The
Frenchmen opposite seemed puzzled.
Believing that the Englishmans horse
had bolted and that the rider had lost
control of him, they opened their ranks
to let the runaway through. Halkett
stcered his steed so as to Craze the
mounted general on the right side: At
that instant he put his arm around the
Frenchmans waist, lifted him bodily out
of the saddle, and throwing him over
his own horses neck, turned sharp and
made for the English lines. When the
generals staff realized the meaning OF
the bold rider they dashed after him, but
he had a good start and not French
man dared to fire for fear of hitting the
| general.

The red dustiness on the oats is due
to the rust, which is fungus grow
ing in patches on the leaves of this
plant, and, feeding on the sap of it,
causes it to fade and wither- If the
red spots are examined by magnify
ing glass they will appear as hollow
cups or red egg-shaped bodies, which
are the spores of the fungus, the
roots of which penetrate all through
the substance of the leaves of the
oats. The probability is that by and
by, when the oats are in head, they
will be affected by smut, which is
thought to be secondary form OF
the rust. This appears as black dust,
filing the grains, in place of the usual
starchy matter The remedy for both
forms of the disease is, before sowing
it, to steep the seed in solution OF
sulphate of copper (bluestone), four
ounces in gallon of water. This de-
stroys the germs of the fungus that
are adhering to the seeds. New York

the boneyard. Where are the colts to
make up the requisite future supply to
come from?
One surprising feature of the Chi
cago market at present is the great
number of active, "nervy" 1850 to
1900 pound "chunks" being exported
by French, German and English buy
ers at prices ranging from SlOO to
s16O. The demand seems to have
shifted from "dr1vers" to chunks, and
at least one-half of the latter are
mares going to help horse the omni-
buses and lighter trucks of Old World
cities. This removes many mares that
to the cover of heavy draught stations
would have given good, big geldlngs
for the United States markets OF 1900,
but never one of them will nurse
another foal. Query: Why this de-
mand for class of stock which Europe
was supposed to produce in sufficient
numbers to satisfy its own markets?
Have the foreigners been abandoning
horse breeding of late years, as well
as the farmers of America? And, if
SO. to what extent will this effect the
future of market values here?
It is pleasant to note that few mer
who have not lost their heads have re-
tained some good mares and have kept
them stinted to stations of q proper
sort. These are the men who will not
be found without choice "draughters"
to sell when the day of reckoning ar
rives. Evidence is accumulating to
show that by another spring many far
mers will want to patronize the stal..
lion keeper again. but the colt crops
of 1894, 1895 and 1896 will be found
light beyond all repair. Those who
begin next spring will be in time for
the markets of about 1902. The fact
is we have now to practically begin
draught- horse breeding anew. We
have lost substantially all that was
gained at such great cost in point of
weight and quality by the free patron
age of pure-bred horses during the
twenty years ending with 1898, and
the coming year will witness the be-
ginning of the work of reconstruction.
That it will proceed along better lines
than before cannot be doubted. Farm
ers have learned by bitter experience
the difference between mere bulk and
quality, and it will never again bepos-
sible to impose upon them to any serl-
Gus extent with illbred, post-legged
hulks that never should cover a mare.
When there are many buyers after
every big, fine "span" of geldings ip
the market few years hence will you
be caught empty handed, or will you
be among those who, taking time by
the forelock, have prepared against
the day?-Breeders' Gazette.

At one time there was not in California
any vehicle except rude California
cart; the wheels were without tires and
were made by telling an oak tree and
hewing it down till it made solid wheel

larger where the axle went through.
The hole for the axle would be eight or

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

II the rain fails to come, keep the
cultivator going in the corn every day.
Shallow and often is good rule.
Don't wait till ready to drive into
the field to rake up the hay before
finding out the condition of the hay

Give the fowls little meat, or cut
green bone, and don't forget to cut
some grass for them every day.
Chopped onions is one OF the best OF
green foods.
Watch out among your young stock
for specially perfect specimens, and
give them special care, rs you may
want to exhibit stock this fall, and
these will then be right in line.
As soon as the chicks are Matched,
put them in basket, and with the
old hen, remove them to the coop you
have prepared for them. Then i'm
mediately take the old nest and burn
it. This will remove all trouble from
lice.
If the mower was carefully stored
in the fence corner when through hay
ing last season, do not be surprised to
find it rusty and badly weather worn,
for such shelter is apt to "preserve"
machinery that way. You may have
to buy a new machine.
Rolled oats, or cracked wheat is the
best feed for little chicks. 1t requires
no preparation, and they will do nicely
on it. 1t is cleaner than mush, and
soft feed, as it does not get mixed up
with the dirt of the coop, hence there
is less danger of disease.

PUMPKINS FOR COWS.

One of the most valuable crops for
feeding COWS is that of pumpkins. But
the best product of 6his, as of all
others. is when it is made the single
effort, and not as a side show in corn
field. When grown alone and well
cultivated, it is easy to get as much
as thirty or forty tons on an acre of
good land. The growing them is not
any matter of dispute, but the feed
ing of them is. 1t Is common belief
that they cause the milk of COWS to
shrink; at least, this is said of the
seeds. But experience gives no cause
for this belief On the contrary, the
milk is not only increased in quantity,
but the quality of it is improved.
The color of the butter made is also
considerably higher than from the dry
food used at this season, when a stock
of pumpkins is found most useful.
One good-sized pumpkin chopped into
slices, given to each COW twice day,
will be found valuable addition to
the best feeding. And no trouble
need be borrowed in regard to any ill
results from the COWS eating the seeds.
The seeds and stringy matter attached
to them are the most nutritious par
of the gourd. Farmer.
