Raupenleim and Dendrolene.

These new insecticides are insect lime
or glue, with which to paint the bark
Of trees to kill insects or keep them
from climbing. "Raupenleim" is a
German product-the other is a sub
stance made in America. Both are made
from crude petroleum. The former has
something like coal tar added. 1t can be
painted OF daubed ON trees and remains
sticky for "A long time. According to
bulletin 3 of the New Jersey station,
at New Brunswick, when either Of these
substances was painted on peach trees
early i'll the season, it killed off the bor-
ers entirely. 1t will probably protect
apple, ounce and pear trees from the
attacks of either the round or fiat headed
borers.
In the latter part of May, after scrap
ing off the loose bark, a coating at least
three-sixteenths of an inch thick is APP
piled to the trunks from the ground to
the branches. This will form a surface
that will kill any insect hat alights
upon it. A band painted around the tree
will probably prevent climbing insects
from passing over it. 1t is also recon-
mended as protection against mice and
rabbits, or even for shade trees that are
gnawed by horses. 1t will not dissolve
in water, or wash off by rain, according
to the bulletin quoted.

1t is a common practice among farm
ers to feed soft corn by throwing it ON
the ground for hogs to gnaw off the
grain. This is very wasteful, for the cob
of soft corn has considerable nutrition
which in this way Of feeding is lost.
But the soft corn, being damp, is hard to
digest, and is very liable to ferment,
making the stomach sour and the teeth
sore. Soft corn is worth much more to
feed to cattle, which will eat cob and
grain together. Having a double diges-
tive apparatus, horned cattle will get
more good from soft corn than any other
domestic animal. But by spreading thin
ly soft corr can be made dry enough by
midwinter to grind, especially when a
few oats are mixed with it before the
ears are put in the hopper. Corn and
cob meal ground with oats make All ex-
cellent feed for any kind Of stock. 1t is
less liable to cloy than meal made
wholly of any kind of grain. American

IRRIGATION BECOMING GENERAL.
Irrigation Farming Is Attracting Atten-
ton North, South, East and West.

Irrigation Farming Is Attracting Atten-
ton North, South. East and West.
"What the south needs is irrigation"
says a North Carolina correspondent of
The Practical Farmer. He complains of
the long drought they had i'll his state
the past season. The editor of The Prac.
teal Farmer, in comments on the letter,
repeatedly says that irrigation is not
necessary, " but the real situation comes
out in the concluding paragraph:
"What we do need worse than any
artificial irrigation on our hills is the
deep blowing of the red clay and the
deeper subsoiling in connection with
terrace banks on the contour lines of the
hills, with deep bitches along their up
per sides filled with the surface rocks
that now cumber the upper soil, so that
the rainfall may not at once run away,
but be allowed to soak into the soil.
And when we have these we want more
peas and more clover to fill the soil with
moisture retaining humus, and to in
crease its fertility. On bottom lands,
cultivated in market garden crops, irri-
cation would locally be very desirable
thing"
The Irrigation Age, commenting in
turn on this concluding paragraph, says,
by the beard of the prophet, the writ
er is a pretty sound irrigationist with
out knowing it himself. Following are
additional statements made by the last
authority qnoted
1t is conceded that dry spells in the
summer months are not wholly confined
to the east, north and west. 1t takes
time for any great innovation to be-
come universal, but that irrigation is
making Roadway is evident from the
announcements of experiments the past
seaso in various southern states, i'll the
east and through the central states. The
agricultural papers Of the whole country
are discussing it, and the great dailies
of New York city are publishing aC-
counts of the wonderful crops raised ON
small irrigated farms almost III their
midst, on Long Island. The thoughts of
the past season Will go far toward max
ing many more converts to irrigation.
In sections Of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia, Kentucky and West Virginia the
crops uOJ Only IdlIeu, DuU InPrP was dC-
tual suffering among the people. In
some cases stock died for the want of
water. Their bitter experience will
point the way to these farmers in the
future. 1t was a dry season in the far
we tern states and territories, but the
farmers there had made provision by ir.
rigatiOn, and their numerous crops came
through i'll safety.
The fact is that the people of all sec
lions III the United States are finally
coming to realize that there is no sure
thing on crops without irrigatIon-that,
with this improved mode of farming,
they t.ke no chances. This being true,
it will he adopted here and there
throughout the country until gradually
this safe means will become general.
The great success of farming Oh former
arid lands III the western states by irri-
CATION is educating the farmers and the
people Of the hation.

The west has for many years grown
most of the flax produced in this conn
try. Since wheat has been SO low it has
taken the place of that crop, being
grown only FOR its seed, which genera

as wheat. The flax will not p oduce as
many bushels as wheat. but it is quit
