The Army Worm.

Until recently but little trouble has
been experienced in the eastern and
middle states with one of the most disas-
trous plaques of the western farmers.
This is the army worm, productof the
eggs of large brown miller. The worm
is from to ! Is inches long, light blue
or gray in color, with brown and yellow
stripes lengthwise on its back. This sea-
son these pests are making sad havoc
with corn, oats and grass in several To-
calities in New York, Pennsylvania and
in southern New England.
The ways Of destroying the army
worm are many, but the best means of
combating it, according to The New
England Homestead, consists mainly in
blowing a furrow to keep it off the
land, one of its sides to be made perpen-
dicular SO the worms can't climb up,
and holes to be dug in it at intervals,
into which the worms fall when they
are covered with. kerosene and burned
All this involves work, but it is effect
i've if taken in time. The reassuring
feature of the present invasion is that
most of the worms already have ON their
backs many eggs of minute fly that
will hatch into minute slugs, or para
sites, that will feed on the worms and
destroy them by the million, or prevent
the pup8 from Matching.

white CIoEer For Pasture.

1t is one of the advantages of rough.
rocky land that, as it cannot often be
cultivated or ever very thoroughly, the
surface soil is pretty sure to be filled
with white clover seed. 1t is said to be
natural to such land, which means that
it has so long occupied the soil that
there is plenty Of seed to grow when
ever it has fair chance. It is an excel
lent pasture grass, as its roots run near
the surface and quickly respond even to
light rains, which will not revive other
grasses. 1t is greatly helped by dress
ing of gypsum. On long cultivated
ground, especially where no clover has
been Tricky seeded, there will be little
white clover visible, but even there it
is often ready when it gets the chance.
If the first clover crop is alsike, which
does not sprout after its first cutting, a
vigorous growth Of aftermath clover
will often be found, though before the
alsike was cut the white clover was too
small except for eyes that were sharply
looking for it to see it.-American Gull

FODDER AND FORAGE.
Seeding Grass In Fodder Corn According
to Vermont Practice.

to Vermont Practice.
The winter Of 1867 was severe
ane for meadows. and especially the
newly seeded fields. The ground was
frozen deeply and some of the time bare
and partly covered with ice. The young
clover is largely killed, while on older
meadows the grass is more or less in
iured. Some of the fields will have to
be plowed and either sown with grain
Or planted with fodder corn. In this
connection Vermont correspondent of
The New England Homestead writes:
Instead of planting the land to corn
this year and seeding to grass, along
with grain crop next spring, it might
be better to try the following plan,
which is being successfully followed in
many cases. Plant to fodder corn in the
usual way and just before the last Gull
tivation sow on the grass seed. Of course
the land should be properly fertilized
either with manure or phosphate and
level cultivation practiced. All of this
work can be very well done with the
implement known as the weeder. By
using this thoroughly the soil can be
made clean and mellow. Sow the grass
seed previous to using this implement
the last time.
When harvesting the corn crop, take
care to cut as low as possible, so that
the stubble will not be in the way of
the moving machine.
Some may think that seeding in this
way would not be successful, but expe-
rience proves that it is. A neighbor
last year seeded five acres in this man
ner with good results. | have seen fields
where portion was seeded to grass
with fodder corn the year before and the
remainder with oats. The part with the
corn is almost always decidedly ahead
of the other, as it does not winter kill.
Where the oats were sown the seeding
is poor and uneven Why there should
be such difference it might be diff
cult to determine, but such are the facts
in the case.
Another advantage in following this
plan wherever desirable is that the corn
crop properly cared for will be better
and leave the land in desirable condi-
ton for satisfactory crop Of hay I
have plowed ~ acres, successfully
seeded last year, but badly winter
killed, and will try the plan outlined
here.

Increase In Quantity and Quality Best
Known Varieties on the Other Side.
Each year the apple expectation to
Europe increases in quantity, quality
and value. Good winter apples, care
fully selected and properly packed, al
ways meet with favorable reception
and command good prices in Great
Britain and on the continent. Among
the best known of American varieties
on the other side of the water are the
Baldwins, King of Tompkins County,
Ribston Pippins, Northern Spy and va
rious russets. But there is no doubt that
the Winesap, Jonathan, Greening. Ben
Davis and Vandever Pippin. together
with many other well known varieties
from the orchards of the United States,
would be very acceptable and always
secure for their shippers fair prices and
profits.
The most successful shipments of APP
pies are made i'll New York barrels,
which carry about 3 bushels and weigh
about l12 pounds. The freight upon
each of these barrels from American to
European ports averages less than ST..
During the fiscal year ended June 80,
1895, we shipped 81S, III barrels abroad,
valued at 81, 954,318. 1t is also learned
from the yearbook of the United States
department of agriculture that export
shipments of apples from any of the
states east of the Rocky mountains can
be made remunerative.
The apple among fruits is as staple
and universally demanded as beef among
meats. The variety which has sold for
the highest price i'll British markets is
the Albema1le Pippins which is success
fully grown to its greatest perfection in
the state of Virginia. This variety has
at times netted the growers 81 barrel
in the orchards. 1t is a remarkably fine
keeper, of delicious flavor and beautiful
coloring. The profits of intelligent hor-
ticulture along thes Atlantic seaboard
cannot we'll be overestimated The sue
cess in foreign marts of the Pacific
states fruit growers and shippers, labor
ing under the disadvantage of rail
carriage from the Pacific torthe Allan
tic, should stimulate all horticulturists
this side of the Rocky mountains to
further secure sales for their products
in Europe.

BARNARD manure.

Here in the west the ideal use to
make Of barnyard manure is to put it
ON grass. The eminent French authority
on manuring, NJ. Colrard, depreciates
the use of it. however, not because it is
not of value when thus applied, but be-
cause it is more valuable on Land under
cultivation, the reason given being that
it is a complete fertilizer, while the
pasture generally needs special one

Action of sTuriate of Potash.


Professor Goessmann of the Massa.
chusetts Agricultural college draws
these conclusions from observations
concerning the action of muriate of pot
ash on the lime constituent of the soil !:
The claim of both muriate and sui
phate of potash being economical and
efficient forms to supply potash for
growing plants is SO we'll established
that no further Endorsement is called
Cor in this connection. Each form has
its special merits with reference to par
ticular fitness i'll case of different crops.
The liberal use of muriate of potash
as a fertilizer constituent renders, in
cases where the lime resources of the
soil under cultivation are limited, pc
riodical direct application of lime COM
pounds as nanurial matter advisable.
Muriate of potash is a safer source of
potash for manurial purposes upon a
deep soil with free subsoil than upon
shallow soil with compact clayish
subsoil ON account of possible ac-
emulation of the highly Objectionable
chlorides of lime and magnesia near the
roots of the plants. Both are known to
prevent healthy development of the
root system.

Conditions as Regards the Filling of silos.
Good Cutter and Steady Power.
Whether made from fresh cut or wilt
ed fodder corn, the quality of the ensi
lage will be good if the necessary condi-
tions as regards the building and filling
of the silo have been observed Very
watery fodder will give Our ensilage.
The more water in the fodder-that is,
the greener it is cut-the more acid will
be found in the ensilage The common
practice alsong "ensiloers' of late years
has been to cut the fodder one day and
fill it into the silo the next day or as
soon after as convenient. Many claim
that in this way we handle an unneces-
sary quantity Of water in the fodder,
and that the better way is to leave the
corn shocked in the field for week or
ten days before filling the silo, SO as to
allow the excess of water to evaporate.
In connection with the foregoing, Prairie
Farmer says:
We shall probably in the future see
this latter method practiced more than
before, since with our present deep silo
there is generally enough pressure in
the silo to. secure good ensilage. When
the weather is good, the corn will not
suffer much, but if the prospects are
there Will be much rain it is better to
haul the fodder to the feed cutter right
away and fll'it into the silo. But the
essential thing is to have a good cutter
and steady power.
The cutter should be placed close to
the silo and the carrier adjusted so as
to drop the cut corn near the middle OF
the silo. The cutter should be power.

To run rapidly and continuously and
to do its work well, none but the best
machines will do. BY using two or
more wagons for hauling the fodder can
be passed from the wagon directly to
the cutter without unloading on the
ground Arrange every detail about the
cutter so as to economic all the time
and labor possible, for plenty of both
may be easily lost if the strictest atten-
ton is not given to details.
