Cabbage Worms.

The New York Agricultural Expert
ment Station has issued bulletin on
how to prevent the ravages Of cabbage
worms, in which 1t recommends the use
of a preparation Of Paris green. The
Paris green will undoubtedly kill the
worms, but 1t is such Virulent poison
that IL is dangerous to use 1t In any form
on cabbages. Some portions Of the poi
son may be retained in the cabbage head
and make 1t dangerous to use as food.
Any simple thing that will adhere to
the leaves will prevent the raVages Of
cabbage worms. Fine dust from the
road sprinkled over the cabbages in the
morning when the dew is on and re-
peated about twice week and after
every rain will prevent the work of these
worms, and 1t is one OF the cheapest
and safest remedies that can be used,
Gather the road dust during dry time
and put 1t where 1t will keep dry. Use
an old sieve, or one made by tacking a
piece Of fine wire screen on the bottom
Of a little box, to slft the dust over the
plants. This Is a safe, cheap and effect
i've remedy. Never use poison Of any
kind on such plants as cabbage, celery
or lettuce.

would have to take second or lower
price for 1t. There was at that time q
good deal Of fad and fashion in the de-
mand for such heavy meat, and consum-
ers are now coming to their senses. They
have learned that meat from younger an
imals, IL not SO heavy, is much more
tender and juicy, and, Of course more
palatable and digestible, and now buy
for quality, and are willing to pay for It..
They have also come to realize that
steer beef is not the only good beef made
that a heifer Of the same age equally
as we'll fattened has meat Of really bet
ter quality than the steer, and so helfer
beef is being sought after and is SELL
ing at very nearly as high prices as steer
beef A study Of the large markets for
the past few years will show a gradual
and growing popularity for "baby beef"
That term is no longer a reprOach, but
is becoming a trademark for excellence,
and the price Is gradually getting higher
and higher Feeders are also learning
more of their business. They have found
that they can make pound Of meat
cheaper and of better quality on the
younger animal, and that a heifer at less
than two years old will feed as well, IL
not better than a steer. They have also
learned that the faster they can make the
young animal grow reasonably, the less
will be the cost Of growth, and conse-
quently the larger profit in feeding. AS
a consequence, we see the proportion of
young animals among the fat ones COM
ing to market constantly on the in
rease.-Prairie Farmer.

Handling Rees.

When handling bees the absence Of
fear and quiet treatment are essential
to success.
Never strike bee, says the Florida
Farmer.
Never move a comb hastily, nor hold
new comb horizontally; If you do 1t
will probably break and fall.
Blow little smoke into the entrance;
after a minute or so (while the bees are
gorglng themselves with honey and so
lessening their inclination to sting),
take off the top and blow little into
the hive at each end.
Lift the quilt gently and opening part
only of the hive; the carbOlic cloth is
very useful on the top besides a little
smoke below.
Never open hive in cold or rainy
weather.
In cold districts, before winter, make
the bees snug with quilts and adjustment
Of the dividing boards.
Don't breathe on the bees, or brush. the
combs upward.
II stung when manipulating, pull out
the sting and put little honey on the
wound.
II you have no real liking for the bees
do not attempt to keep them for the
profit.
Bees are the most pesky things about
a farm; and although they do not in
volve laborious work, they demand Pc
culiar attention.
Do not keep many bees in places where
they must deDend mainly on orchard
trees and garden flowers for food sup
plies.
II you are nervous, or If you have not
plenty OF native fora to hand, do not
handle bees at all.-Colman's Rural
World.

Corn Culture.

The government Department Of Agri-
culture has issued an important bulletin
on corn culture in the South. The con-
clusions reached are so full Of valuable
information which is largely applicable
to all corn-growing sections that we
give them, as follows:
(D The best soil for corn is a rich
sandy loan which contains a good sup
ply of humus. Land which has been
used for growing red clover, melilOtus,
COW peas, or other leguminous crops is
much better than that which has been
used recently for hOed crops.
(2) In using manures and fertilizers
1t is better to use the coarse stable ma
nure and the whole cotton seed on the
heavier soils, and the well-rotted ma
nure and the cottonseed meal on the
lighter soils.
(3) All well-drained lands should be
plowed fiat, and high beds are advisable
only on lands which are subject to over
flows. When beds are used they should
be wide enough for two rows each.
(4l The best variety Of corn for ordi-
nary purposes is the one which will pro-
duce the greatest amount Of shelled grain
per acre, regardless Of the number OF
size of the ears.
(5) White varieties will usually make
heavier yield than colored varieties
though many colored varieties are more
vigorous and hardy than are some Of the
more prolific white varieties.
(6) The best yields are secured from
dent varieties, which require about 16C
days for maturing aud average nearly

Secretary Wilson on Farming.

National Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, in recent address, uses
the following eloquent words upon the
successful growth Of agriculture in this
country:
1--WE have been giving exclusive at
tention to the development OF our
internal resources. Our competitors
abroad attest how thoroughly that has
been done. Crops grown beyond the
Missouri affect the value Of land ON the
Rhine and the Danube; our cOastwise
trade exceeds that upon the high seas;
we are the most extensive manufactur-
ers on earth; our people are educated 80
highly that Christendom might be chal-
lenged to match them with like sew
enty millions.
1.-THE United States sold over 5000 ,000,-
900 worth of stuffs last fiscal year to
people abroad, and two-thirds OF this
was from the farm. AS people we are
competing with all nations within the
reach of commerce; we have the keenest
inventors to improve implements for
use; we have the cheapest transpOrta-
tion in the world to take our products
TO market; we have the best home mar
ket in the universe to consume high
priced articles, and we have the best
systems Of agricultural education and
experimentation Of all people on earth.
We have good footholds in Europe, and
will invade the South American repub-
lies the countries Of Asia and the islands
of the sea, with assurance that no COM
petition is to be feared when our goods
are carried in American bottoms under
the American flag"

two ears per stalk. The ears should be
Of good size, have small cobs we'll filled
at each end, and should hang downward
when ripe.
90 Nothing Is gained by planting be-
fore the ground is sufficiently warm and
dry to promote immediate growth. Early
paintings should not be covered so deep
as late paintings.
(S) Cultivation should be shallow and
frequent, and the surface of the ground
should be kept as nearly level and
smooth as possible.
(9) When other hay can be saved read
lily and the corn fields can be pastured
Immediately after the crop is gathered
1t is not usually profitable to cut the
stalks for fodder.
(1O) Corn which is to be stored for
some time should be treated with bisul-
phid Of carbon to destroy insects

the field by taking the best ears from
the best stalks.

the certainty Of a support and a return
for all their Iabors. But the knowledge
of the farm cannot be obtained by force
or by committing to memory some or
many wise sayings. We must approach
the earthworks of the enemy. We must
first know geology, chemistry, botany,
agrostatics, hydraulics, and 80 forth.
These are studies that every farmers
sons and daughters can undertake. They
will be found full Of delight. With their
advent will come new life to the farm,
and new feeling Of security to the
worker. Nature is bountiful mother II
she but be known. We cannot be ex-
pected to know all nature, but we can
know that part of all nature that Is COM
prised in the little spot we call the farm.
Whether we cultivate an unknown or a
known farm is the difference between
the muscle and the brain. The man that
has a known farm farms by the power
of his mind.-Farmers' Review.

Water ON the Farm.

The importance of pure water for the
family and live stock is not generally
appreciated. In newly-settled country
the danger Of defilement Of water
through filth accumulations in the soil
is not so great. AS a region becomes
thickly populated we may say the danger
of water defilement increases with the
increase of population and the number
of animals kept on the farms or in VIII
lagos. The danger on old farms and
in villages and towns where the problem
of sewerage, paving and water supply
has not been solved by the corporation
is so constant that not year passes
without outbreaks of typhoid fever,
diphtheria or other filth diseases.
The farm supply of water is so largely
under the control of the farmer that ne
is not the victim Of the carelessness OF
his neighbor, as is the dweller In the
,Iage or town. Hence If
the farmers family is visited with dis
eases originating in impure water or
defective drainage or unclean manage
ment OF his premises, he cannot lay the
blame on his neighbor or mysterious
Providence. In dairy districts the re-
sponsibility of the seller of milk Is not
limited to his own family. He is in a
sense his brothers or patrons keeper
That typhoid fever is so often traced to
dairy farms and dairies that supplied
the victims of the disease with milk
makes the responsibility of the milk
seller broad and serious.
The water supply of dairy farm is
very soon contaminated unless more
than ordinary care is taken to prevent
its defllement So long as farmers and
dairymen sink wells in the barns OK
barn lots, there will be increasing
chances of impure water. These wells
are too often placed in the lowest part
of the lot, where there is least labor in
sinking the well. The wall is laid with
loose stones, and not raised high enough
to allow sufficient grading to carry of
even the surface water. In a wet time
the water level of the well rises from
the influx Of water from the barnyard
and manure piles. After one such soak
age OF the soil the water from such a
we'll becomes a constant danger TO the
health Of animals and unfortunate users
of the milk from such dairy Breed

Demand Tor Good Beef.

A wonderful change has taken place
in the taste Of the public as regards
beef in the last generation. When
was boy, says a correspondent, in Bris-
tOl Times, heavy, fat meat was mostly
In demand, and would sell for q much
higher price than that from younger and
smaller animals. An animal could not
be made too large, or too fat to suit the
market. Pigs dressing three or four and
even up to six or eight hundred pounds
were much more quickly Sold and at
much higher prices, than those Of two
hundred pounds or under. Had a man
at that time offered beef less than three
years old he would have been laughed
at for Offering baby beef" and would
have found few customers and those at
only low prices. But the situation is
different now We no longer see those
monster steers, sheep or swine, and IL
such meat was offered In the market 1t
would meet with slow sale and the seller

Kansas Forage Crops.

The most important forage crops
grown in Kansas are alfalfa, Kafflr corn
and sorghum. In 1891 there were only
S4,SS4 acres of alfalfa grown in the
State, while this year the acreage is
2S1538 acres. Alfalfa is proving to be
such a valuable crop that the acreage
will undoubtedly be rapidly increased
and It will not be many years before
there will be million acres Of alfalfa
IN Kansas, producing an annual value
OF more than ten millions of dollars.
Kaffir corn has also increased rapidly
In acreage. In 1893 there were only
46,911 acres grown, while this year there
were 535,743 acres. It yields four to six
tons of fodder and twenty to fifty bush
els OF seed per acre, and this seed has
nearly as much value for feeding as
Indian corn.
The saccharine sorghums are grown
almost entirely for forage and not for
making sugar or sirup. The crop this
year was 1856, 1859 acres and it yields from
six to twelve tons Of valuable forage
per acre.

Kansas Dalrying.

The dairy interests in Kansas are
making rapid progress. The returns
compiled by Hon. f. d. COburn, Secre-
tary Of the State Board Of Agriculture,
show that the total value Of the dairy
output for the past year was $6,O49,552.
In 1889 the value of these products was
4,451 1927. And the total product for
the last ten years amounts to nearly
S60,000,000. The butter-makers Of this
state are milllOnaires, for the amount
OF butter produced last year was 41,450,-
981 pounds, which was worth at home
the sum Of S5,32O,144. Cheese-maklng
shows an increase of nearly 25 per cent.
In the past year. the total being 1,418,969
pounds, worth $11S,517; and the value OF
milk sold for other purposes than butter
and cheese amounted to S615,S9O. These
figures make most gratifying showing

Unknown Farms.

Few farmers know the farms they till
They can tell II they receive good crops
OK bad crops, whether the land Is hard
or easy to work, whether the soil be a
retentiVe clay or a loose sandy loan,
but this Is not knowing the farm.
The great work Of knowing the farm
has just begun, even in case Of the most
progressive farmers. It will be a long
time before the impulse reaches to the
great mass of farmers, many Of whom
are willing to tread in the old paths
and seek only for the old ways.
In every farm there are wonderful pos
abilities. Some OF them that bear poor
crops now do so for the reason that their
owners have never discovered the true
condition OF affairs and could find q crop
Ok crops that would do excellently. We
look forward into the future
When our science has reached high
stage in the years to come the manner
\ M treatment Of the farm will be far
different from that Of the present day.
There will be geography OF the farm
as much as of the nation. The map
win be not only geographical but geo.
logical. The formations will be as care
fully studied as any other part Of the
science. Knowing the composition Of
every part Of the land 1t will be possible
to flnd out the needs of each part and

AIknII Lands.

In some farms there are spots so full
OF alkali that crops will not grow on
them. There are two forms Of the al
kali, the white and the black alkali soil.
The white alkali will gather in a white
crust like lime on the surface Of the
land. The black alkali is indicated by
the hard, lumpy black soil. This alkali
exists in some forms Of soda, the white
being form Of sulphate Of soda and the
black a form Of carbonate Of soda. This
alkali must be neutralized In some way
before the soil will produce crops. One
Of the best things to use for this purpose
is gypsum or land plaster which will
destroy or kill the effect Of the alkali
aud tend to reduce these alkali soils to
a condition for growing crops.
