THE BUD worm OF conx.

The cause of the death of the core
OF the corn stalk is the presence of a
small worm in it that is eating out the
heart. This is one of the worst pests
OF this plant, and not rs well known
MS it should I've. 1t is the larva of n
small beetle of the curculio true. md
was first known forty years ago, when
it was found in the hearts of the
young corn in the State of New York.
1t is the worst enemy of the corn
grower, MT times having been known
to wholly destroy acres of crop, leav.
ing only few isolnted plants here
and there. 1t isnow common all over
the continent, damaging the plant
from the extreme South to Canada.
There is but ono remedy, which is to
spray the young corn, as soon MS the
first leaves are opened, with n weak
mixture of paris green with water.
kept in suspension by the addition of
n small quantity of molasses. The
plan of planting only three seeds. on
the principle of one for the cut.
worm, one for the crow, and one TO
grow, will not do, for it greatly en-
cOuraged the increase Of the intoler
able pest. The insect goes by the
name Of the sculptures corn curculio
lsphcnophorus sculptillis). More seed
should beplantcd and heiniested ones
pulled out and burned or crushed. -

advantage that it does not injure the

Take soft sponge and battle the face,

night; then wipe off the drops lightly.
In the morning wash it off thoroughly

STACKING.

How many farmers there are who
cannot or do not build n grain stack so
that it will shed rain 1t requires lit.
tie skill to build pretty stack, but it
does require precision of eye and n
level head to construct n grain stack
that will keep. The custom of thrash.
ing out in the shock has become SO
prevalent that many farmers are under
no necessity of learning this knack.
There are two ways OF building grain
stacks IN order to keep, whether they
he round stacks or ricks. One is to
mike the base of the stack MS largo as
Is necessary for the size of the pro-
posed stack, and then to keep the mid
die full from the first row of bundles
to the top of the cap sheaf. The other
Is to make the base about five or six
feet smaller in diameter than the
stack is to be in the bulge, then build
mp straight for about two feet in
height, and then gently increase tho
SIZE until there is n bulge of about two
or three feet, rs tho condition of the
grain will allow, keeping the top of
the stack up to this point level. When
1T is necessary to begin to "draw in, "
then the middle should be made full
and kept so until the stack is finished.
A stack constructed in this way will
settle, and the outer ends of the bun
dies will hang down because the base
of the stack is narrower than the
bulge. Always begin making the
stack like large shock, SO as to keen
the heads of the bundles off the
ground, because the stack bottoms are
in many places ont of the question.
In stacking go to the right or left, as
Is most convenient, changing from
time to time. and the stack will then
not twist. Keep off the outer tier of
bundles, which shonld be laid little
way apart. The inner tiers should be
laid as compactly as possible. Make
n good stack rather than n pretty one.

AN EMERGENCY DRAWER.
Every Household Should Have n Place
