MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AORlCULTURi8T8



A very similar insect to the round
headed borer, both in appearance and
In habits Is the spotted apple-tree Dor
er tSaperda cretata). The adult beetle
Is OF nearly the same size and form as
the round-headed borer, differing su-
perncially by having two white spots
on each elytron instead Of the longitud-
inal white lines which distinguish the
latter. The larva and pupa are SO sim
lar that no description need be made
OF them. Although the species has
falriy wide distribution, corresponding
somewhat closely to that of the COM
mon species, specific injury by 1t has
only been noted in two states. In Mich
igan by Prof. A. ]. Cook and in Iowa
by Prof. H. Osborn. In the former
state this borer is reported as quite as
common and destructive as Saperda
candida Its occurrence is also record
cd in Canada, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Ohio, and there are
specimens In the National Museum also
from Northern Illinois and Texas. It
has only been observed injuring apple
and wild crab, but its occurrence has
also been noted on June-berry and
thorn. According to Osborn the "eggs
are evidently laid in pairs. half an inch
or more apart, along the branch, the
larvae OF each pair upon Matching

The great value of these soils when
properly reclaimed has led European
farmers and investigators to devote
much attention to their utilization, and
increased attention Is being directed to
the same subject in this country, says
the annual report OF the department Of
Agriculture. The salt marshes, espe-
cially along the New England coast.
nave been extensively used for many
years for the production OF forage, and
In many cases expensive and elaborate
systems OF reclamation have been car
r1ed out on them. Reclaimed swamp
or muck soils are being extensively
utilized In Michigan, Ohio, and other
regions for the production Of celery
and onions. for which they seem to be
peculiarly adapted. Several of the ex-
pertinent stations. notably those Of
wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan, have
undertaken to STUDY the best means OF
retaining such Soils While the con-
ditiona vary considerably In different
cases and each soil may present some
peculiar conditions OF its own. the gen.
eral principles and practices are the
same for all this class OF soils. Thor
ough drainage is the first essential.
This is not only necessary for the pur-
pose OF removing the excess OF water.
but to allow the free circulation of air
In the soil. In order that the poisonous
compounds which are usually present
may be oxidized and thus rendered
harmless, and that the processes Of de-
composition and nitrification SO neces-
sary In this class of soil may be set up.
The drainage is best accomplished at
first by means OF open bitches at fire.
quent intervals. Muck soils settle
greatly when drained, and IL tiles arc
laid In the soft muck they will rise to-
ward the surface. and thus become in
effective. Draining is most effective
when carried out gradually and the soil
should not be allowed to dry out too
quickly, since its mechanical condition
may be thus injuriously affected, its alb
sorptive power for water in many cases
is almost completely destroyed, and tho
decomposition of the organic matter
greatly retarded. After the soil has
become firm tiles may be laid, espe-
cially II collars are used. The Indiana
station has shown that in case OF the
black soils of that state. which are
probably representative Of class, tile
drainage is effective only when the
sand and gravel which underlie such
soils are tapped. By sinking in this
underlying layer of sand or gravel q
series OF wells which are connected
with tile at the depth at which 1t is de-
sired to maintain the water level. the
soils may probably be thoroughly
drained without difficulty.

Lecocq, who had charge of the work at
Lisbon gratefully acknowledges the in
valuable benefit done to Portuguese
agriculture and horticulture BY the in
PRODUCTION Of the beetle. Later infor-
nation is to the effect that colonies of
the Novius were established on not less
than 487 estates. whence naturally

been able to assist the Portuguese gov
eminent in accomplishing this great
work had 1t not been for the enlight-
ened policy OF the State Board OF Hor-
uculture of California in continuing
the breeding in confinement OF these
predaceous beetles long after any APP
parently urgent necessity for such
work had disappeared in California,
and for the prompt courtesy Of the
board In placing living specimens at
his disposal.

Auction by CauAla.

It would seem strange today, says
the Portland Transcript, to step into
large auction-room where furniture,
wearing apparel, jewelry and knick-
knacks OF every description were scat
tered around waiting their turn to be
disposed Of according to the whims Of
a burning candle. The proceeding in
q candle sale were as follows: A piece
OF candle an inch long was lighted,
and the instant the fame arose the bid
ding on certain article began. The
last bid made before the fame expired
was the lucky one. Sometimes this
was varied by dividing the whole can
die into sections, marked of by red
circles. Bids were received on any
article during the burning OF one sec
ton, and the last bidder before the sec
ond ring was reached was the pur-
chaser. This manner OF conducting
an auction was very general during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The custom is by no means obsolete,
certain portions Of France and some
counties OF western England still re-
tanning 1t.
