THE FOREST WORM.
Hard to Fight and Very Destructive
to Forest and Fruit Trees.

AAFu 10 H1&nt anu very Destructive
to Forest and Fruit Trees.
The terrible invasion of forest
worms into central New York has given
us an immense amount Of extra work
when the battle has been fought out,
writes New England Homestead cor
respondent. But ] am sorry to say the
fight has gone by default in favor of
the worms in the majority of orchards.
The mischief was increased by the pres
ence in full numbers Of the tent cater
pillar. This can be easily disposed of
with fire, but the forest worms make
no nests They eat over a wide range
and eat clean. They travel from tree to
tree, and when you think them sub
dued they turn up in double force else
where. They first appear on plum, then
on apple, trees But the battle to clean
these trees was hardly on when they
were found to be all over the naples.
The leaves coon looked like bits of rags
dangling from the limbs. The army
could be heard all night.
We killed with torch, with arsenical
spray, with kerosene spraying. But
paris green does little good, and kero-
sene must be used cautiously. / found
it necessary to go over all trees with
mittens soaked in kerosene and crush
the worms They lay in great masses
on the limbs at noon In this way by
half dozen repeated killings my
grounds We're kept nearly free of mis-
chief. Suddenly found that they had
gone around and were coming in on the
other side. They had already terribly
defoliated my street naples We climbed
and fought with gloves again and again.
This have learned that the worms
will not touch the Norway naples nor
Weirs' cut leaved maple, and, as a
rule, they avoid the soft NAPLES. They
do not attack catalpa or English elms
the pear and cherry. They attack furi-
ously apple, ounce, plum, maple, elm,
ash and oak trees. They will invade a
raspberry patch If not watched, but do
not eat the blackberry or strawberry
The sweet cherries they much prefer to
the sour. l conclude from my observa-
tions of all sorts of insects that the
Norway maple is our best street tree as
we'll as the grandest lawn tree in exist
ence. When the worm entered my rasp-
berries, we resorted to hand picking
every morning. My crops-are safe, but
there are not few who have lost all
their apples. It will very decidedly re-
duce the apple output for central New
York.

CULTlVATING TUKNIPS.
A Better Way Than Growing Thel
AS "a Catch rror, ~, c..-,, Vrfc

as a Catch Crop In Corn, Etc.
So many farmers SOW turnips as a
catch crop in corn and potatoes that
they forget there is any other method
Of growing them The American Cult
yator points out what it considers the
better way:
AS a rule catch crops do not pay.
They always interfere with the late
cultivation of hoed crops, which is al
ways important and sometimes neces-
sary If there is a dry time late in sum
mer. Now that most farmers cultivate
hoed crops very shallow late in the
summer, merely scratching the surface
to kill weeds while they are small,
there Is less objection to late cultiva-
| ton than used to be the case. In the
old days, when plow was used at the
last cultivation to pile the soil up
| against the hills of corn or potatoes,
the result was always injury and often
ruin to the crop. In such case, too,
| there was little chance for turnips to
grow, as the soil piled up against the
| hills turned the water into the middle
! of the rows, or, rather, the corn leaves
| themselves did so, as they bend over
| to the middle of the rows by July and
often in June, turning the slightest
shower into the middle of the row,
| where most of the corn roots are. I'm
| der the hill the soil is almost always
| dry until the corn is cut. The potato
top does not lop over so much, but it,
| too, throws a good deal of the mois-
| no cal Int {Hx, u
tween the hills.
| In either a dry or wet season turnips
are better If grown where they can be
cultivated and hoed If the seed is
sown in drills two feet apart, horse
| can drag narrow cultiyator through
! this space, scratching the dry soil and
not only killing small weeds, but
throwing little dust over the turnip
plants. This will kill the fly that de-
stroys the tender leaves. A better
way is to scatter dry lime or gypsum
| in the line of the rows, thus enabling
| the cultivator to keep his horse be-
tween without stepping on the young
| plants. If this is done two or three
| times, the turnips will only need hoe
| ing in the line of the rows. Turnips
| grown thus will yield possibly ten
times as much as they would If sown
as catch crop.
| A good deal of the work which the
| cultivation requires is offset In the
catch crop by the extra labor required
to hunt over large field to gather the
turnips that If cultivated could be
| grown on a quarter of an acre. Be
sides this the plan of cultivating tur-
| nips cleans the land of weeds. Grow
ing them as a catch crop leaves all the
weeds to grow as long as the turnips
are growing. Many weeds will seed
in that time, and all those that are
| biennial will root themselves under
shelter of the catch crop ready to grow
and seed next season.
A farmer may SOW turnips among
| growing corn or potatoes If he has no
other place for them. But it is not an
economical practice, and usually the
| corn or potatoes are injured by lack of
cultivation more than the turnips are
worth, even if they could be harvested
| for nothing.

Salt or AIkaIY Grass.

A grass abundant throughout the
eastern Rocky mountain region in
strongly alkaline soils, but of little val
ne except in times Of scarcity of for
age, is the common salt or alkali grass.
Although often producing a great deal
of LEAKAGE, it is harsh and unpalatable
and is refused by stock as long as 9th
err grasses are to be obtained. Sheep
eat it more readily than other stock.
1t is abundant in the Bad Lands regions,
and as better grasses are usually
scarce there it is sometimes cut for
hay. In localities where the land is be-
coming ''alkalied" through improper
irrigation this grass is spreading rapid
ly and often becomes quite a pest, ac-

The trough, shown in the illustra-

puts supply of pine tar. which is

SO that the tar will cover the felloes.
The wheel is then slowly turned in the

INDIAN GAM ES.
The Mistaken Notion That They Are
Varieties of Pit Games.


In the July issue of The Reliable
Poultry Journal w. S. Templeton of
Dakota, Ills, gives a long and inter
esting account of Cornish Indian
Games and White Indian Games, of
which he is an extensive breeder. A
note by the editor Of The Journal pre-
ceding Mr.. Templeton's article says:
There is movement on foot to drop
the word game In the names of the
two varieties treated of in the article.
The present standard Of perfection
designates them as the Cornish Indian
Games and the White Indian Games.
1t is claimed that the word game or
games arouses in the minds Of many
persons an unjust prejudice, through
their wrongfully associating these two
varieties with the pit games or fight

some who believe it to be one of the best

The Amber Orange originated in a
cross between Early Amber and Kansas
Orange This cane was tested for five
years by the Kansas state experiment
station and was considered one of the
best for sugar manufacture. 1t does
not produce seed abundantly.
The Colman, also a cross between
Early Amber and Kansas Orange, is
generally preferred because 1t produces
canes of good size, not tall, with juice
of good quality.
Variety 161 originated in cross be-
tween Early Amber and Link Hy brid.
It is slender, which is fault derived
from Links Hybrid. 1t ripens rather
early, much earlier than links Hybrid.
It's juice remains good ordinarily long
after the canes are ripe, though stand
ing uncut in the field. The juice has on
an average as large content of sugar as
the average juice of Louisiana sugar
cane and much less glucose or uncrys-
tallizable sugar.
Folger's Early is also cross between
Early Amber and Links Hybrid. 1t
ripens not long after Early Amber and
remains good standing uncut in the
field much longer than Early Amber. 1t
yields more cane and more seed per acre
than Early Amber. 1t is considered the
best early maturing variety for general
planting.
The Early Amber variety, quick
maturing cane. is liked better in the
north than in the south. 1t is the best
variety for early ripe cane or for late
planting and for sections in which th
growing season is very short.

seed or grain have very generally Sc
