Some entomologists claim that the egg

eggs hatch where they are laid and
the young Larvae bury themselves at

method is employed the results are
the same.
The best way to get rid of the pest
is to kill the maggot. This may be
done by squeezing them out. Place

Yard Culture Of Roses.

There are three important things to
he considered to be successful with
the cultivation Of outdoor roses, says
the Rome Georgian. First, suitable
location; second, suitable soil, and
last, but not least, suitable varieties.
I know of many persons who go to the
woods to get light soil from old tree
stumps, which they use for preparing
a bed for roses, and, after planting
their roses iu this soil and watering
them carefully, feel discouraged that
they do not make strong growth.
In order to grow roses in the yard
the first important thing is a good
open exposure; if thirty or forty feet
away from large trees so much the
better. 4 yellow, rather heavy,
ibrous loan with good drainage is
considered the ideal soil for roses.
Spread two or three inches of we'll
rotted COW. manure over the bed,
thoroughly mix same to the depth of
one foot or a trihe over. \ bed pre-
pared in this manner should grow
tirst-class roses; if your soil is a hard,
sticky clay it should be removed to
the depth Of fifteen inches and re-
placed with soil s7ch as above.

of of any marketable trotting-bred
horse.
N. Newgass is one Of Chicaso's
most extensive exporters of horses, and
ships many trotting-bred coach, park
and saddle horses to London and
Liverpool each week.
When questioned in regard to the
practice CT clipping the foretops from
trotting-brel horses he said: "Its
pernicious. I cannot buy horse for
export if his foretop has been cut off,
unless I can get him at half his real
value, because the foreign buyers al
ways keep such horse until the name
grows out again, and they must buy
them very cheap to do that. You can
not say too much against that practice
in your paper, or caution breeders too
often, as the number of trotting bred
horses that come to this market minus
their foretops is astonishing Horse

Cultivatins and Spraying Potatoes.

The cultivation Of potatoes must be-
gin iustas soon after planting as crust
forms on the surface of the field.
Break up with some kind Of a harrow
OF a weeder. Keep the surface
loosened from then until the plants
stop growing. late in the summer.
After cultivating as: long as possible
with the harrow or weeder, use al or
dinary corn cultivator, taking care
not to run it too deep or very close to
the plants. The character of the sea-
sou will determine the frequency of
cultivation. Whenever weeds begin
to appear Or the surface of the soil be-
comes compacted, go over the field
with the cultivator Keep thisup un
til the crop is matured. While good
cultivation will keep down many o.
the weeds, it will be necessary to do
1e hoeing while the plants are
small and little hand pulling later.
This is frequently neglected on the
average farm and as consequence
fertility which should go to the pota
toes is absorbed by the weeds. BY
digging time, the field will have be-
come one mass OF weeds and grass
roots, making it almost impossible to
remove the tubers from the ground.
Much has been said and written
concerning tue comparative merits of
ridge and level culture for potatoes.
After sitting all the evidence it seems
clear that level culture is best for root
crops, Just as it is for corn, notwith-
standing the opinion Of some practi-
cal growers to the contrary. It may
seem radical departure to those who
have always ridged their potatoes,
bat give small part Of the field this
treatment and see for yourselves.
Potato vines are subject TO TWO seri-
oas pests, viz, beetles and blight.
BY careful attention and timely spray
ing these can be held in check, as a
ru!e. Whenever beetles appear spray
with paris green mixture, cne pound
OF the green to 100 gallons of water.
Should fungus diseases attack the po-
tatoes also, use compound made by
aiding paris green to bordeaux mix
ture. This compound is made by first
preparing the bordeaux as follows:
Dissolve six pounds copper sulphate
in water. Stake four pounds quick
lime and filter. Pour the milk of
lime into the copper solution and add
water to make fifty gallons. Add one
pound paris green to every 175 or 200
gallons bordeaux, and the compound
is ready for use. Spray when the
plants are about six inches high, then
;iS often thereafter as necessary,
usually every ten or fifteen days.
Special spraying apparatus can be
purchased for use in potato fields
where enough are raised to warrant
the expense. For small patches the
ordinary cheap kuapsack sprayer can

TOBACCO FROM AUSTRALIA.
Weed Is Being Cultivated by Farmers
in the Antipodean Island.

Australia has at last set about max.
ing a serious effort to cultivate tobacco.
For thirty years or more the weed has
been grown in limited areas in New
South Wales, Queensland and Victoria,
but it can scarcely be said to have been
cultivated. Not at any stage has the
industry been backed bI scientific
knowledge-at least, not us:til experts
were sent over from this country. Vic
toria secured the services Of Mr.. Bon
durant, a Kentuckian, if we mistake
not, and New South Sales those Of Mr..
Howell also from the south. The form
er has been at the antipodes for two
or three years, and the latter only 4
few months. Sufficient, however, has
been done by Mr.. Bondurant in Vic
toria to demonstrate that q good mar
ketabie article can be grown there, and
that in future tobacco will figure much
more prominently in the list Of Austria
liam exports than was thought likely
few years back. 1t was the success
which attended the efforts Of Mr.. Bon
durant as practics! Instructor that in
duced the government Of New South
Wales to follow Eictoria's lead and
also turn to the States for scientific
teacher. And now we learn that the
agricultural department Of Queensland
is assisting its growers by importing
the best American seed procurable.'
The expert, it is presumed, will follow
in due course.
There is no doubt whatever that to-
bacco can be proftably grown in all
the Australian colonies. The product
may never rival Vuelta Abajo-not
even equal that Of our New England
States, but the fact that the govern
ments have decided to push the enter
prise for all that it is worth means that
tobacco in large quantities will eventu-
ally be produced and placed on the mar
kets of Europe.
The government expert is very well
pleased with tie results attained at the
experimental farm at Edi, where he
planted a large number OF varieties of
plug and cigar leaf tobacco. Mr.. Bon
durant's chief object has been to de-
termine what varieties of leaf We're
best adapted to Victorian soil and eli
mate, and this, it is claimed, he has
done. Next season larger crop is to
be set out, and should that prove
commercial success the tobacco-raising
industry will be fairly launched. In
all human probability it will be years
before Australia becomes q competitor
of ours in this field, but once it has
been proved that tobacco is a profit

have learned to handle it, then we may

A Strange Request.

Lieut.. Yoshibu1ni Fukagawa of the I.

his family a few days prior to his
death, which occurred the other day
in his native district Of Hizen. He OBJ
served to his family that as he had
never had the time to Investigate re-
lisious questions deeply enough to en-
able him to determine which faith he
should embrace, he was neither preju-
diced against nor partial toward any
form Of religion. However, he himself
was of opinion that his soul would
perish with the cessation of life, while
his remains would crumble to dust.
Therefore he did not wish to have any
religious service performed on his be-
half. The funeral, also, should be as
simple as could be, and flowers and
similar offerings be strictly declined.
No announcement should be made OF
his death to his frienus until four OF
five days after the funeral. Two or
three weeks after his death his rela-
tivcs and friends should be invited tc
q banquet. and they should be asked
to enjoy the occasion as heartily as
possible. At the funeral. also, nobody
should accompany the bier; except. If

Iiome-Brel Cows.

It is always best wherever possible
to breed COWS on the same farm where
they are to be kept. The COW is very
home-loving animal, and if taken from
old associations, it will neither eat so
heartily~nor give so much milk as it
would if kept where it was grown. We
have seen COWS walk uneasily around
the field as if looking for place to get
out ior days, and until the grass inthe
path they made was entirely destroyed.
OF course such cows cannot be profta-
bic mixers. After COW has had one
calf in her new home, it seems more
homelike to her, and if she is where she
can see it and sometimes be with it.,
she will be less discontented, except
for the first few weeks, while she is
mainly anxious to be with her calf.
