An Interesting Experiment.

An interesting experiment is about to be made by the government of Bos- nia and Herzegovina In connection with the subject of the migration of birds. \ number of Zobseryatories are to be established throughout both countries on the coasts, plains, mountains, riv- CTS, lakes and at all points which seem likely to yield results of interest to those engaged in researches on bird migration Under the auspices of the government of both countries a meet ing of ornithologists has been convened to take place at Sarajeyo during the current month, and a proposal will be made to other governments to insti- ute similar plans of observation, the intention being to unite them all in a common and uniform system.

Any one who gets out at work on the
fields early in summer will find the leaves
OF plants and even the surface soil wet with
dew which has been deposited during the
night, as the soil in spring is much colder
than the air. This dew is condensed
moisture in the form of steam, which has
taken from the air some ammonia and
some carbonic acid gas. 1t is, therefore.
softer than rain water and also richer in
manurial elements. If this dew is left un-
cultivated 1t evaporates when the sun gets
up high enough to shine on it, and all this
fertility vanishes into thin air. We know
farmers who get their teams out to cult
va,ing corn and potatoes while both the
soil and plants are wet with dew. They
do forenoon's work by 10 or II o'clock,
and then take for themselves and teams
three to four hours incoming during the
heat of the day. This is better than be-
ginning work late, and then eating hur-
riedly, and eating the principal meal of the
day without any rest in which to digest it.
One of the main advantages of this plan is
that it turns some dry soil over the dew,
thus saving its fer,ilizing properties from
waste.

who had full charge Of the grange, Hill
ing all the officers chairs and displaying
their fine artistic skill 10 arranging the

Walton of "Flora." During the exer-
cises this letter WAS covered with bou-
quets OF flowers by the lady members of
the degree team after having performed
"Flors's march" all OF which was very
appropriate and interesting. At the
opening exercises on the stage, Mrs.

terms gave Flora's welcome, followed
by song, instrumental music, tableaux,
plays, readings and recltations. Canaan

CrOn Conditions.

Secretary McKeen of the beard of
agriculture in his June Bulletin pub
fishes the following:
Condition of grass fields, 81 per cent.
Condition of pastures, 93 per cent
Amount of young stock turned to past
ure: C'lts rs per cent; young cattle l04
per cent; sheep,96 per cent. blossom of
fruit trees: Apples, 40 per cent; plumA,
so per cent; straw berries, f07 per cent;
other small fruits, IS per cent. Varie-
ties of apples blossoming most fully,
early varieties. Acreage in potatoes,
l05 per cent; corn, 103 per cent.
Amount of hay on hand, I20
The general average for the State is
given in the same Bulletin.
Condition of grass fields, IS per cent.
Condition of pastures, so per cent.
Amount of young stock turned to past
ure: otis, 95 per cent; young cattle,
107 per cent; sheep, 102 per cent Bios
som of fruit trees: Apples so per cent;

per cent; other small fruits. 81 per cent
Acreage in potatoes, 102 per cent
Acreage in corn, l02 per cent. Amount

1t appears to us the condition of
grass fields is to high il the standard is
an average crop. From what farmers
tell us we are led to believe the hay crop
will not be much above IS per cent.

Cucumber Blight,

During the past few years the culture OF
cucunbers for pickles has become an i'm
portant industry in certain sections OF the
State. Last year, however, the losses due
to "blight" were so severe that many
growers became discouraged, and the area
devoted to this crop will be reduced. The
"blight" referred to is caused by the dow
ny mildew which first made its appearance
in the United States in 1889. 1t occurs
quite generally throughout New England
and the Middle States and as far west as
Ohio. In localities where 1t has previous
ly occurred, it may be expected to reap
pear the present season; and the range OF
its occurrence is likely 10 be extended
The amount OF damage done by the dis
ease depends very largely upon the con-
dition Of the weather during July and
August. Hot and moist, OF "muggy"
weather will induce rapid growth of the
fungus; while If the weather is dry and
cool, much less trouble will follow.
By carefully conducted experiments in
the cucumber fields OF Long Island, it has
been proved beyond question that Boz
deaux mixture is an effective preventive Of
the disease. Spraying should be com
menoed when the plants first break though
the ground and repeated at intervals of
ten days through the season. Formula 2
in Condensed Directions for Spraying
the Apple" and the same formula in
condensed Directions for Spraying the
Potato" is the right one to use for the
cucumber blight. If Formula 3 is used it
will be found effective for the striped
beetle as well as for the cucumber blight.
The above directions will be sent free
on application.

Growing Rape For seed.

Not much attention has been paid 20
growing rape for seed In this country,
possi bly, because Of the fact that In
most localities where THE crop has been
extensively grown the winters are 30
severe as to destroy the plants 1t seems.
however. that there are localities where
rape can be profitably grown for seed.
and Thomas A. Williams. assistant
agrostologist of the department OF agri-
culture. suggests that farmers might
well devote more attention to this fea-
ture of rape growing, since most of the
seed now used is imported. A Montana
farmer reports that he made three cut
tinRs the first season, allowed the plants
TO stand the second season and obtained
q fine yield of first class seed.

Decrease In humble Bees.

Wherever humble bee is seen in a
room its loud buzzing, added to the know
ledge of the fact that it is really dangerous
if it comes to close quarters, gives every
body desire to kill it and put 1t where j,
be will do no harm. Yet really it would
better in most cases If a door or window
were opened and the humble bee allowed
to fly away. Early in spring the humble
bees that are flying around about houses
are in search of places to make their nests.
So many are killed, however, that in the
long parts Of the country the bum
blebee is much scarcer than 1t used to be.
They are the only bee that can reach down
into the blossoms of red clover, and their
work in honey gathering fertilizes the
blossom so that it can produce seed. The
bumblebee therefore ought to be encour.

Agricultural BrevIties.

While results are not 50 concordant
as to warrant decided conclusions, ex-
periments at the New Hampshire sta.
tion indicate that stable manure and
phosphate may favor the development
of potato scab to greater or less de-
gree; hence as fertilizers cannot be dis
pensed with the greater advisability Of
treating the seed. Air slaked lime.
plaster and ashes are especially likely to
increase this amount of scab
The Geneva IN. Y. station advises
that beans may be used with some sue
cess as fall catch crop for the striped
cucumber beetle. They should be plant
ed on the cucumber or melon fields
and when the beetles leave the old vines
TO feed upon the fresh bean plants they
should be treated to liberal doses of
poison as well.
The practicability of saving the late
pickle crop by spraying with bordeaux
mixture has been we'll demonstrated by
the Ohio station. as sprayed vines last
year continued green until frost For
this purpose the spraying need not be
commenced before July 30 to Aug. /
