Insect Injuries to Indian Corn.

Bulletin No. A of the Illinois Agrl-
cultural Experiment Station is COM
plete practical account Of all known in
sect injuries of any importance to tie
seed and roots of Indian corn. The
kinds of injury are so classified and an
alyzed as to enable one to determine
the cause of the injury from the ap'
pearance of the field or the injured
plant, and from the insects found in CT
upon it. The wireworm, the root lice,
the white grubs, and the corn root
worms are treated with especial full.

injury and OF each insect treated in
cludes full account Of preventive and
remedial measures, the whole making

furious insects in the various stages
of their development.
This bulletin is issued by the consult

Handling Ounces.

Ounces may be gathered as they
ripen in such manner as to prolong
the season very much. No fruit needs
more careful handling-even a thumb
mark becomes a dark spot in a short
time. For shipping to distant market
in considerable quantities, probably no
package is more satisfactory than the
ordinary apple barrel. The ends should
be lined with white paper and the fruit
placed in very carefully. calyx end
downward against the head. instead of
the stem end, as with the apple. The
tail end of the barrel should be gently
pressed to its place with a lever or
screw press, but less heavily than in
the case Of the apple, because the text
ure Of the ounce is more brittle and
less elastic, consequently every bruise
will result in serious blemish. For
near market, and in smaller Quanti-
ties, NO package can surpass the now
very popular twelve quart basket.
Whichever package is used it will usu-
ally be found best to make two classes,
and not to ship the small mis-shapen.
or poorly colored specimens in the
same package with the choice fruit If,
however, no selection is made, fair
show of best and worst should be made
in order that dealers may know exact
ly what they are handling and buyers
may know exactly what they are buy

Result of Draining.

A number of years since two acres of
clay land which had a hard-pan clay
subsoil was taken from one end Of
meadow ami fenced in with the adjoin-
ing corn field. Two years cultivation

About sixty rods of tile drain was pat
down at an average depth of two and
half feet. The ground was well plowei
and cultivated, then wheat drilled in.

eight bushels, was secured off those
two acres, and only about twenty two
hore-wagon loads of stable manure
was applied to the ground. The TWO

Influenced by the destructive fires
of 1854. the legislature OF Minnesota,
April, 1895, enacted law cor tie
prevention and extinEuishment of for
est and prairie fices, making town su-
pervisors fire wardens; constituting
the state auditor forest commissioner
and authorizing him to appoint dep
uty to represent his authority and to
be known as chief fire warden. The
first annual report of thu latter has
been printed with a map of the forests
and sets forth the method adopted in
organizing work. About $4,000 warn
ing placards against setting forest Or
prairie fires, printed on cloth, were
furnished to railroad companies and
Dire wardens. and duly posted. The
names and addresses of upward Of
thousand fire wardens from whom re-
ports were received are printed; also
many quotations from their reports
respecting fires, the effect Of the warn
ing placards, the sentiment of their
communities on forest preservation
and the means of promoting regrowth
Of forest.
There are 1000 Chippewa Indians
scattered in the Minnesota forests, but
they are considered more careful than
white people in putting out their camp
fires. Many prairie fires are caused by
farmers setting fire to stubele and
straw before plcwing sufficient break
around it. The work of fire wardens
is not so much to extinguish as to pre-
vent fires. The prevention OF forest
fires will be greatly facilitated by cui-
tivating forestry sentiment. 1t is
shown that in the forest region OF Min
nesota the United States still hold
over 100000 acres of public land
open to settlement and which is fire.
Quented by homeseekers. timber
cruisers, mineral prospectors and hun
tiers. THE hunter or wayfarer, alone
in the woods, who has an intelligent
conception of forest interests, will
never throw lighted stump Of cigar
upon the dry ground nor leave his
camp fire unextinguished. He will be
perfectly certain that no danger can
come from his camp fire, even If he has
to cover it with earth dug up by a
spoon. When people become educated
as to the true economic value of for
ests and to a comprehension of the
danger and damage from forest fires,
every man and boy who frequents the
woods will be voluntary watchmaD
to guard against such fires"

Use Good Seed.-Many farmers make
the mistake of arguing this way: Il
have some good grain that will bring
good price on the market; will sell
that. have some poor shriveled grain
that grew down on low ground. l will
keep that for seed" 1t is a great mis-
take. 1t is very true principle in
both animal and vegetable growth that
Like begets like and if We SOW Door
seed We may expect poor crop.
Again, in selecting our seed we should
strive to select it from field that has
been uniform in both quality and
quantity. When We have this seed let
US clean it thoroughly. l used to
think, when was a boy, and my step
father kept us cleaning grain after it
had been cleaned two or three times
over, that he did this to keep us out of
mischief. but have concluded that he
was right about this thorough clean

Old Strawberry Beds.

If season has been favorable. and a
large crop produced, or if grass and
weeds have been allowed to take pos

Out of 226, OGO farms in Denmark
only 1 900 are over $50 acres in extent,
and most of them are worked by their
owners. By their great technical
knowledge of their business and the
gradual change from growing grain to
breeding cattle and dairy farming the
Danish farmers have suffered less from

of any other European country.

Experimental Roads.-There is ev-
cry reason to believe that there is in
the rural communities generally a to-
tai lack of appreciation of the benefits
Of good roads. which can be used at
AL seasons of the year. The truth is
the people have had no experience of
really good roads, and no opportunity
Of judging Of the superiority over bad
ones. There is much room for popular
education on this subject. and one Of
the best means of education would be
the construction In every community
Of piece Of first-class road. Such an
object lesson would be invaluable. and
it is easy to believe that large adj
vantages might dow from a liberal ex-
penditure by the state. Then, too.
there is q natural and easily under

many varieties-or to plant all OF one
variety-or to plant variety because
some tree agent advises you to; OF 10
plant every variety offered you before
it has been thoroughly tested In your
locality, unless you have the means "

is mistake to plant in post-holes ana
think that trees will grow without any
further care or cultivation. 1t is a
mistake to plant at all unless you know
what varieties you want and how 10
take care of them when planted.
Mistakes in Cultivation.-It is mis-
take to think that when trees are once
planted they will take care OF them
selves. 1t is a mistake to turn young
trees out to grass before they are
weaned from the nursery. 1t is mis-
take to think they don't want just As
good cultivation as corn or any other
crop to succeed we'll. 1t is mistake
to try and raise crops year after year
from an orchard without returning any
thing to the soil; trees want feeding
as well as your pigs or cattle to pro-
duce growth or fruit. 1t is mistake
to trim by horse or cattle power, you
are apt to overdo the job. 1t is mis-
take not to trim and shape your trees
when young and thus avoid the neces-
sity of removing large branches when
the trees are large, and thus mutilate
and injure them 1t is mistake to let
too much fruit grow on young trees or
vines. It is mistake not to thin out
heavy crops on any trees.
Mistakes in Marketing.-It is mis-
take to market your fruits in flour or
ones. 1t is mistake that you don't
use the clean ones for oats or wheat
and put your fruit in good clean
baskets or barrels. 1t is mistake to
try to put a quart of berries into a
pint and half basket, or half bushel
of peaches or pears into twelve quart
basket-they shrink in getting them

fore they use them, besides the large

not upon them, upon your honesty as
fruit grower. 1t is a mistake to send
soft fruit to distant market. 1t is
mistake to send fruit to a commission
man whose honesty you know nothing
about. 1t is mistake to expect Prompt
returns from every commission man
you send to. 1t is a mistake to send
of fruits to be sold on commission II

Miscellaneous Mistakes-It is a
mistake to think that nurserymen
never make mistakes, or that they
are not willing to rectify them when
they can. 1t is mistake to think they
are responsible for the death of all the
trees that die before coming to matur-
ity, or for all the tricks of tree agents.
1t is mistake to think they don't want
to sell all their surplus stock, and that
tree agents don't often buy it and with
out their knowledge, re-label it just
what their orders call for and send it
out, and when it bears, nurserymen
get the cursing. 1t is a mistake to
think all tree agents are rascals-H. NJ.
