The Cabbage Root Maggot.

The white maggot in cabbage root is
the larva of q two-winged fly, which
closely resembles the common house
fly except that it is smaller. The flies
appear in April and early May and lay
eggs at the base of newly-set cabbage
plants. These eggs hatch in about a
week. The maggots begin work in
the young roots and proceed in their
attack to the larger roots and finally
the stem. In two or three weeks the
maggots are full grown and proceed to
pupate. After some days the next
brood of flies energies. There are
about three such broods.
The best treatment to avoid this
maggot is to put cabbage in ground
where turnips, radishes or cabbage
were not grown the previous year.
There is no satisfactory remedy to de-
stroy the maggots and ave tho cab
bage, but the best is the use of carbon
bisulphide. Inject a teaspoonful just
under the plant when the maggots are
first discovered in May. 1t would not
be safe to replant the same ground
with cabbage either this or next sea-
son, although late cabbage is not so
much troubled as is the early crop.
Lime or salt would not destroy or
drive away the maggots. American

Is There Any BEST" Time For Sleepine9

Is There Any "Best" Time For ~Sleeping9
Does the time at which the sleep is
obtained, provided it is sufficient in
amount, make any change in the re-
suit? In brief, is there any truth in
the old adage that an hour before mid
night is worth two hours after mid
night? I had an opportunity to make
some study of this subject in my naval
service during the late war. On ship
board, as is undoubtedly known to
most OF you, the ships company-ofi-
GERS and men alike-stand four-hour
watches day and night, and to get the
required amount of rest are obliged to-
get their sleep irregularly; to 81 ar
range it that the same man shall be
obliged to take curly or late watches
continually, the ''dog watch" of two
hours is interpolated, thus adding to
the irregularity. In watching the re-
suits for over two years I could never
discover that the watch officers and
the men were not as fully refreshed by
their sleep as were the medical and
pay officers, who stand no watch, and
have hours as regular as those of any
householder ,-Dr. E. P. Colby, in the
New England Medical Gazette.

Passing of Indian Dialects.

sLike the buffalo, the Indian Ian.
guage will soon be lost forever" ex-
planned a gentleman who, under the
auspices Of the Smithsonian, has de-
voted a number of years to the study
and preservation of the Indian Ian
guage. "It was thought that the In
dian language could be preserved by
the aid of the phonograph and graph
ophone, and parties were sent out to
many Indian tribes to have them talk
into the apparatus and thus secure 6
record of the Indian tongue. 1t was
found, however, that but few Indians
of the present day, and they were the
older ones, could talk q pure tongue.
More than one-half of the Indians now
on the reservations, and this is the
Ease with all the younger Indians,
converse in English. 1t is not good
English, but it is the kind they speak,
q kind Of pigeon English. I had the
work of securing some Cherokee talk,
and in doing 80 talked with a dozen
or more leading Cherokees. They
admitted to me that they did not know
one Cherokee who could speak pure
Cherokee. They said it was with the
greatest difficulty that they could get
the boys and girls to speak in their
native tongue at all, or to learn even
the CONNIE nest words or phrases

Progress of the Telescope.

Fifty years ago an eleven-inch re-
fracting telescope was the largest in
the world. The lens of the Yerkes
telescope has q diameter of forty inches.
1t required great care to grind such q
lens. It consists of two disks of opti-
cal glass, one of crown glass and the
other of flint glass, the former double
convex, the latter concave on one side
and nearly fiat on the other. The
nicely of curvature is what is startling.
When the late Alvan Clark received
the rough slabs of glass for the Yerkes
lens from Paris, before him lay the
task of grinding until every ray of
light passing through the great circle
of glass should be bent and broughtto
a focus at a point sixty-one feet dis
tant no larger than a small dot. It
took him five years to accomplish his
task. Afault of HOO, 0O0th of an inch
would be serious. The crude casting
of glass is first treated with sand, to
remove toughest projections. Then
coarse emery and down to the fin
est. Rouge is used in polishing.
The last stages of treatment often take
an optician two years. Sometimes the
amount to be removed is SC ..infnitesi-
NAL that q little rubbing with the finger
on the hard glass will do what is neces-
sary.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Tortured His Critics.

Two citizens of Okkwa, Chulla
province, write to the Seoul (Korea)
Independent as follows:
"The Magistrate of our district has
been doing ONE tall squeezing since
his arrival here. Some unknown citi-
zens wrote out the crooked deeds of
the Magistrate and posted them in the
market places. The Magistrate sus-
pected o wealthy citizen named Sin
Dongsik OF the district of implication
in the exposure of his shortcomings,
and set fire to Sins house and furni-
ture, and tortured Sin and his two
sons until each mans legs were broken.
He further ordered the people to erect
q stone monument il the district in
his honor. He collected over $500
for the monument fund from the peo-
pie and bought land with it instead Of
erecting a monument. Now he states
that he appreciates the land more than
a monument. AS far as we, the PEG.
pie are concerned, we never wanted to
erect q single tablet for him; so the
matter has been settled rather fortu-
nately. But it would have been
frank if he had asked the people to
buy him some land in the beginning. .

Professor NJ. V. Slingerland, of the
Cornell University agricultural expert
ment station, has made a study of the
new orchard pest, and says that the
"pistol case bearer" is more destruc-
tive than any of the cease bearers"
ever known. He believes it to be an
American insect. In Pennsylvania it
las already destroyed 5000 trees, and
has now made its appearance in New
York. Its range of food plants in.
cludes orchard fruits and probably the
chestnut. 1t occurs from Canada
southwark, through New York and
Pennsylvania, where only it has been
destructive, and westward through
Nebraska into New Mexico. III is very
small, and would hardly be noticed ex-
cept for the Ceases" which the little
caterpillars wear, and which reveal
them to the casual observer. Their
form is pistol-shaped. They are
tough, leathery texture, apparently
made from silken threads, interviewer
with pubescence from leaves. These
little cases are odd looking little OBJ
jects, and are seen projecting from
flower buds, leaves or twigs. 1t is
doubtful if any spray will reach the in
sect in its winter quarters.-Chlcago

Life Should Be Longer.

It was the naturalist, Button, who
asserted that human beings should live
to 40 years instead of merely seventy.
Button argued that all creatures of the
animal kind live at least six or seven
times as long as it requires them to
obtain full development. Thus the
horse is full grown at three years, and
lives to eighteen and twenty. The OK
is fully developed at four years, and
the dog at two. The former lives to
t~wenty-four and twenty-five and the
latter to twelve and fourteen. There
is no doubt that in these respects Buff
fon was right, and if his theory were
borne out in the case of humankind
the period of life should be at least
120 to 40 instead of seventy

Real Blue Grass.

One Of the standing jokes of the
blue grass region is the fact that "blue
grass" is green. People who visit the
famous rich grazing country found in
Kentucky are often the subject for
jokes when they want the "blue
grass" pointed out. But there is a
blue grass, a sample of which can be
found growing at the Department Of
Agriculture, which is as blue as a
cloudless sky on a summer day. 1t is
a native of the Apache country. It
can he found all through New Mexico
and in some of the adjoining States.
1t is known as the Apache blue grass.
It has a broad spear and grows a
couple of feet in height. A field
covered with it looks like a lake in
which has been dumped a barrel of
indigo. 1t is said to be n of the
most beautiful sights of the southwest
to view great fields of this blue grass,
dotted here and there with flowers.
Especial attention has beenpaid to the
cultivation of q patch of this grass at
the Department of Agriculture, where
it grows luxuriantly, and is n of the
interesting sights to all visitors to the
grounds Of that department. Wash

Effect of Enailinc Food.

The logical conclusion of the large
amount of experimenting on this sub
ject at the Ohio and other stations is
that the process of ensiling adds moth
ing to the nutritive value of the feed
ing stuff. 1T does add to its palata-
bility, however, when the method has
been properly employed, and in conse
quence a larger proportion of the fod-
der will be consumed. In regard to
the cost of this method, we do not IN
slider it any greater than that of the
ordinary method of cutting and husk-
ing and stacking and grinding the
grain, and certainly all this must be
done if the food materials are to be
thoroughly preserved and made as
completely available as they are in
well cured silage.

The Farm Garden.

The garden is the most productive
acre of the farm. If it is not, it should
be made 80. It is the most indispen-
sable part of farm life. Half Of our
living should come from u garden in
summer.
Not one-half the country people make
an effort to have a garden. There are
some that start out well in the spring,
SOW an abundance of seed and never
look at the garden again until they
think it is time they should have re.
suits. They take a look and cannot
find any for the weeds have covered
the little plants. Then they come to
the conclusion that the seed did not
grow. They say all sorts Of things
about the seedsmen, and NOW off the
weeds and wait until another spring
when they go through the same pro-
cess. Now this is all wrong. To keep
the garden clean we should begin early
and continue the cultivation until fall.
1t is impossible to destroy all the
weeds while we are c~ultivating the
early vegetables. Little patches of
weeds around the garden will produce
seed enough to seed the whole garden
next year. We should try to plan SO
rs to keep all the ground occupied in
the garden. 1t will require but little
more labor to cultivate a cabbage or
turnip in q vacant place than simply
to cultivate to keep down the weeds.
You can SOW lettuce in July and it
will be nice in the fall. Cabbage and
turnip can be transplanted into the
ground when the early peas and pota-
toes have grown; or you can set celery
and beets for winter use. Keep all the
ground occupied. If clean cultivation
is given, as should be done, the weeds
will be killed out and at the same time
a good crop secured. Thinning out
plants is an important matter in gar
dening; beets and carrots will not grow
to any size if left too thick. No vege-
table but the onion will stand crowd
ing. If the soil is rich enough onions
will grow to a good size when five or
six stand together; they will crowd
each other out of the ground all but
the roots and will bottom nicely. The
onion maggot destroys onions badly; a
good remedy is to take the soil away
from the bulbs no matter if the little
onions tip over; 50 long as the roots
are in the ground they are all right.
By doing this the fly has no chance to
put its eggs on the stalks and then
there are no maggots in the bulbs

For Sore Feet.

A powder recommended for tender
feet requires eighty-seven parts of
p%ulverized soapstone; ten parts. of
starch and three parts of salicylic
acid.
A bath of warm water and seq salt
is good to relieve SWOLLEN feet, espe-
cially if they are rubbed with dilute
alcohol after bathing.
If you have to stand on your feet a
good deal it will help them from get
ting sore to change the shoes during
the day, as it rests the.feet.
A lotion for corns calls for one
scruple of extract of cannabis, one
ounce of collodion and one drachm of
borate of sodium. Apply frequently,
and after a time the hard part of the
corn may be taken out.

Culture of Melons.


Watermelons are excessive feeders,
and many fail in attempting to grow
them because they do not furnish suf-
fcient plant food to supply the neces-
sary strength for vigorous vine and
fine fruit. Not infrequently water
melon vines turn yellow and die when
they should be just in their prime
simply from plant starvation.
I prepare the ground as for corn.
Lay off in rows twelve feet apart each
way. I dig a hole about one and one
half feet deep and perhaps three feet
in diameter. In the bottom of this I
put a peck or more of good stable ma
nure, tramping 1t lightly. Next put
in q layer of soil, and follow with a
layer made up of equal parts of soil
and fine rich manure thoroughly
mixed, and, lastly, where the seeds
are to be placed, another layer of pure
soil. Sow seeds thickly and cover
about one inch. When the second or
third leaf shows thin out to two or
three plants in the hills. If excep-
tionally large melons, regular prize
takers" ore desired, thin to but Il
plant IN the hill. I cultivate about as
I 10 corn, hoeing each hill after an
entire patch IS plowed. If very dry,
cultivate often, particularly about the
hills. 1t is some trouble to thus pre-
pare the ground, but it more than pays
in the size, number and quality Of
melons produced, also in the increased
length of time hat the vines are in
bearing, as they remain green and in
COON condition until killed by FROST

country about ten years ago, all sorts
of wild stories were told concerning it.
Among other things it was said that
the fly ate through the horn, caused it
to rot and laid eggs in it which after
wards penetrated the brain. There is,
of course, no truth in such tales, but
the facts are bad enough, for the an
noyance to cattle is very serious and
prevents thrift in beef animals and
milk production in dairy herds.
A great many methods of combating
it have been tried with,more u less
success, those most effective consist
ing of the application Of substances Of
an oily character. Kerosene emulsion,
applied with a spray pump, has been
found quite useful, as it kills all the
flies it touches. Good results have
been secured with fish oil to which
about two tablespoonful Of carbolic
acid to the quart is added, the mixture
being applied with a broad, fiat paint
brush. Two parts Of fish oil or cot
ton seed oil and n part of pine tar
is a successful application and the cost
is low. At the Mississippi Expert
ment Station this mixture was applied
to three hundred and fifty cattle at a
cost of only 1920. These suggestions
indicate in a general way the character
of the remedies to be used. Any Of
them require frequent renewal as they
only protect the cattle for from three
to six days. When dairy herds can be
confined in dark stables during the
day it is best to do so, care being taken
to keep the flies out.
The horn fly is propagated from eggs
laid in the droppings of the cattle, and
it is therefore a good plan to break
these up when the droppings have be-
come a little dry. One popularity
about the horn fly is that it cannot
travel we'll unless it has cattle to &C.
company. If, therefore, the farmer
can prevent the multiplication of the
fly on his own premises by the use Of
the remedies and by breaking up the
egg-bearing droppings, he is not likely
to be much troubled, even though the
fly be numerous on the adjoining farm.
