THE FARMING WORLD.
ABOUT FARM DAlRYING.
What Prof. Wing, of Cornell University,
IhinIrs nf

p" hao L IoI' wing, OI CORNELL university
Thinks of 1t.
Many think that the creamery but
ter is better than can be maic on the
farm.
Now, this is entirely erroneous. Not
only is it perfectly possible to make as
good butter on the farm as can be made,
but is matter of no great difficulty
and does not require an expensive or
elaborate equipment. The principles
that govern the manufacture of good
butter are the same in either case;
their observance will result in good but
ter on the farm just as surely as their
neglect will result in bad butter in the
factory. That this is so is seen in the
fact that numerous private dairymen,
having recognized these principles, are
getting more for their butter made up
in small way in a private dairy than
is given for the very best grades of
creamery butter. Indeed, from the fact
that the private da;rymen can control
the cows, their feed and care, and the
milk from the time 1t leaves the cow
until the finished product goes on the
1uarket, he should be able 10 make
finer and more uniform product than
the factory man, who cannot control
these important conditions. Notwith-
standing the possibilities OF the case,
the facts are that to-day the great mass
of butter made on the farms is sold for
n less price than that made in cteamer-
ies. Let us look for moment at some
of the reasons for this condition of af-
fairs.
In the first place, there is a large
amount of butter made on farms that
Is not good to begin with, end justly
should not bring any more tian it usu-
ally does. This sort of butter is made
where the COWS and butter making are
sort of side issue of the farm, where
the milk and butter must await the de-
mands of all the other farm and house
work before they receive attention. 1t
Is made where the maker is ignorant,
careless and dirty. The cows are MIXED
nj the convenience of the hired man,
and the milk is strained and put into
the creamery at some indefinite time
thereafter, when the hired girl gets
ready. Sometimes the cream is re-
moved in "a hours, and some times not
in four days. In hot weather the
cream gets too sour, and in cold, it
sometimes never gets sour at all. 1t is
churned at a temperature sometimes
too low, but oftener too high, and never
twice alike. The buttermilit is not
completely removed, salt is added by
guess, and it is worked by main
strength till the dairy maid gets tired.
During the whole process it associates
more or less intimately with the cooked
end uncooked food in the family pam
try, and the wonder is, not that it is
bad, but that it is as good as it is.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.


All the dead plants should be re.
moved from the flower beds and gar
dens.
Grapes will grow usually without any
care. But that is not the way to get
good crops.
Large quantities of water are being
constantly evaporated from leaves of
trees in summer.
The Miller Queen raspberry is highly
spoken of as vigorous and an early and
productive bearer.
Bordeaux mixture will not prevent
rust on strawberry vines, at least not
in all cases. That has been proved.
The fruit grower that prefers hardi-
ness in small fruits to quality is affect
ed with laziness, whether he knows it
or not.
The reading on winter evenings
should include a good work on insects.
A knowledge of insects and insecticides
is absolutely necessary to the fruit
grower and gardener.
1t is the honest nurserylnan who
sells stock true to name whose business
lasts. In our time we have known a
good many honest nurserymen to go
to the wall. That does not mean, how
evcr, that those who have failed have
been dishoncst.-Farmer's Voice.

FRUIT BARK BEETLE.
Although a Recent Importation 1t Has
Done Much Harm.

Done Much Harm.
This insect is comparatively new to
the farmers and fruit growers of the
United States, having been known in
this country less than 90 years. 1t has
been serious pest to various kinds of
fruit trees in Germany for over so years.
and was found working upon fruit
trees in the vicinity of Elmira, N. Y,
in 1877. 1t has gradually spread in all
directions, especially through the
south and central west. 1t was OBJ
served in large numbers in orchards in
South Carolina in 1886, and was very
destructive to fruit trees in Illinois in
1883. Two years later it was found in
Indiana, and is now we'll established
throughout the central Mississippi
valley.
Ny attention has been called 10 10
many times during the present year,
in orchards throughout central and
southern Illinois. 1t is becoming
very serious pest, and many orchardists
and farmers are becoming greatly
alarmed. 1t does not contine its at
tacks to fruit trees, but is found work.
ing en- shade and ornamental trees as
we'll; usually the maple, elm and noun
tain ash.
The beetle will attack perfectly
healthy trees, but has a decided pref
erence for weak and sickly ones. A tree
infested with this insect can be easily
detected by little careful observation.
The trunk and larger branches are
usually pcppered full of little round
holes, about the size of pin head, rs
shown in the accompanying illus4ra-
ton at Fig. 2. In many instances the
gummy exerdation from these pune
lures is very conspicuous, standing out
in bead-lilte masses or running down
the branches and trunk. l have seen
many trees, especially cherry, in tn

condition the present season. The
little beetle responsible for this ms
chief is about one tenth of an inch in
length and third as wide, Il is
nearly black in color, somewhat cy!in-
.drical in general form, and under
glass of moderate power shows cloth
ing of yellowish hairs on the head and
wing covers. The head is vertical and
the jaws are short and stout The
beetle is shown in Fig. l, very much
enlarged.
The adult beetle after making hole
in the tree, deposits her eggs in little
grooves made in the inner bark.
The young, that hatch from these
eggs, feed upon the inner bark and sap
wood, making long channels running
in all directions from the central
groove. These young worms frequent
ly become so numerous as to complete
" girdle the branch or trunk as the
case may be. The young have no feet,
and are white, with small brown heads,
81 the general shape shown in Fig 3.
They transform in these channels, and
in due time the adults eat their way out,
thus making more openings similar to
the ones made by the female when de-
posting her eggs. There are probably
two broods each year. One brood de-
POSTS its eggs in September and the
insect passes the winter as larvae or
worms under the bark. These trans
form in the spring, and begin to emerge
as adults as early as the middle of
March. | have also found full grown
larvae the last of July.
The fact that the fall brood passes
the winter in the larvae state, the first
remedy that suggests itself, is the cut
ting down and destruction, by burning,
of all infected trees during the winter.
! would recommend this procedure only
in extreme cases or where the trees are
of no special value. An atteIdpt at eX-
termination would mean the absolute
destruction of every tree showing even
the least attack. Experimentation with
various sprays and washes for control
ing this pest has not been carried for
ward very rapidly. Trees sprayed with
a strong solution of Bordeaux mixture
and Paris green combined, ut about
double the strength which is generally
used, have given very promising re-
suits. The first application should be
made about April and the second two
weeks later. In order to be most Ell
f"ctual, the spraying should be done
l,efore any of the characteristic marks
of the insect are found upon the trees
as it will be much easier to prevent the
attack than to destroy the beetles after
they have once entered the tree.-Prof.
w. G. johnson, in Western Rural.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectuaSly cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

SHE WAS ONLY HALF HANGED.
Expiated Her Crime on the Gallows, But
Lived Many Years Afterward.


Lived Many Years Afterward.
A curious instance of the hangman's
rope failing to perform its fatal work
gave to Margaret Dickson, an English
woman of century and half ago,
the nickname of Half Hanged Maggie"
"a name by which she was known
throughout the British isles. Maggie
had been convicted of some capital Of
lenses there were several such offenses
catalogued in the En-. ,lish statutes at
that time), and was finally taken to the
gallows on the hill at Edinburgh. After
the drop fell she was allowed to hang
several hours before friends claimed
the remains and started with them in
cart for Musselburg, six miles away
On the way some drunken apprentices
rudely halted the cart and opened the
coffin in order to see the woman who
had been hanged. This let in fresh air
combined to revive the supposed dead
woman long before the home of the
relatives was reached. Arriving there,
she was carried into the house alive
but very faint and barely conscious. A
minister was called to pray for her,
but she soon recovered sufficiently to
demand that the preacher be dispatched
for doctor, who could administer re-
lief that would be of far greater value
to her at that moment than any minis
ter's spiritual importunings. The
physician soon arrived and Maggie
quickly recovered, but w.. lever aga
tried or even arrested for her crime.
Later on she married and became the
mother of several children. She lived
to be quite old, but the nickname Of
"Half-Hanged Maggie" stayed even
after death, being engraved on the
sandstone slab that marked her grave.

ABOUT FILLED CHEESE,

The Practice of Making 1t Is Very Rep
rehensibIe One.
1t is a fact that American cheese
makers have lost their prestige in tie
markets of the old world on account of
the character of the product sent from
this country, and Canadians have, to
Il great extent, taken the place thus left
vacant.
There is probably more filled cheese
made in Illinois than in any other state
in the union, though Wisconsinisa good
second. The practice of making filled
cheese is a reprehensible one, and the
evil is a growing one, for Chicago con-
tains long lisr of sinners in this re-
spect
If the cheese thus made could be sold
to the consumers for just what il is,
there would not be SO much harm in it,
for he could buy it or let it alone, Just
as best suited him. 1t is due the max
ers of filled cheese in Chicago to say
that they make no pretense that it is
full milk cheese, but make and sell it
for exactly what it is; but after it
leaves the hands of the maker it is
palmed off as pure cheese, regularly
made, and this is what gives American
cheese the reputation it has abroad,
and what has taken the trade away
from us and given it over into the hands
of Canadian cheese makers.
There should be laws to make this
state of affairs impossible, but so far
there has been no effective movement
TO check the making and sale of hog-fat
cheese for full cream.-Farm and Fire
