Some Winter. Work to Destroy
Insects.

Insects pass the winter in many ways'
sone in the earth as pupm and many az
mature insects secreted under rubbish,
boards and the like. Many are klle
during the winter in various ways
some by the changing conditions OF the
weather and some are eaten by BIRDS
II is all well enough to apply remedies
when insects become numerous but' :
we can prevent their becoming nu"
merous It is still better. BY cleaninT :
mn all rubbish which may be found /.
the gardens many insects will be killed
which would otherwise live owe? tue
winter and lay their eggs in the spring
Insects are largely local, that is they
will not leave one locality very much
so long as they have plenty OF iooO
unon which to subsist. IL certain
species are killed out thoroughly on one
farm. but comparatively few will come
from surrounding places.
No hotter illustration of this can DC
rivan than our experience at the sta
lion with the Harlequin Cabbage Bug
three years ago. Before that time thi'
,nsoct had almost ruined our cabbage
crop. but by means of a little work II

has so far not become very generally dis

Bots.

II Is not an uncommon thing for tho
writer to be asked about the best treat
ment for "bots' or 'grubs" as they arc
frequently called in tho South. ltis
quite generally believed that this para
site causes the horse much trouble, re-
sulting frequently In his death,
This is not entirely correct, in fact, 1T
is extremely doubtful IL one horse in
five hundred which harbors those bots"
ever suffers any appreciable inoonven-
ience from their presence in his stomach.
Nearly all horses harbor moro or less OF
them, as tho stomach OF the horse is the
natural habitat of the parasite during
one stage of its life history. The bot
fly deposits its oggs on tho legs and
other convenient parts OF tho body.
Here tho eggs hatch, and tho young
larva find their way to the stomach OF
tho horse, usually by the horse biting
and licking the parts, Tho larva, bot,
or grub attaches itself to ths walls OF
the stomach by hooks which 1t has for
the purpose, and remains there until
such time as 1t reaches a proper stage
of development to be ready for a change
in its form and mode OF life. 1t then
passes out of tho horse, and in tho
manure, or some other moist and warm
place, developes in to tho mature.
During its lfo in tho horse 1t mtpely
hangs onto the walls of tho stoI3ach.
1t does not eat the stomach, as It has
no organs for such purpose The only
harm they can do, therefore, Is when in
very largo numbers. They MAJ ther
cause some irritation to the parts of tho
stomach to which they are attached, o.
may mechanically interfere with diges
tion.
In those cases whore, on a post morten
examination, holes are found in th
stomach and the bots loose in th'
abdominal cavity, the holes are eithe
the result from rupture from owe
distention with gus, as from collie, o
from tho effects OF the acid gastri
Juice. After the death Of the animal
when the alkaline blood OF the anima
} has ceased to circulate and thereby con
tracing its effects, the gastric iuic
: may digest the stomach walls. In quit
/ an extensive experience we have see
I only one case in which any troubl
, could be charged to these parasites, |
that case they were present in sun
, ciently large numbers to obstruct tn
passage of food from the stomach in'
D the intestines. This is an extrem
$ case, and certainly one that does nj
D occur often. No man can be certain
: the presence OF "bots" in tho stomae

dirt should then be piled up we'll around
the trunk, SO that the moths will be
compelled to deposit their eggs higher
up on the trunk than would otherwise
be the case. If wood ashes are mixed
with the dirt surrounding the trunk it
will tend to keep the moths from

Another remedy praetleed by many
Yith success, consists in giving the

Of thick whitewash to which has been
added a small amount of paris green.
The best plan is probably to combine
