THE BEET ARMY WORM.
A New Pest That Has Recently Made
Its Appearance In Large Num-
bers In Colorado.

Every kind of worm is called an
army worm when it appears in suffi-
cient numbers. A worm that has long
been known to injure the beet last
year appeared sufficiently numerous
to be called the beet army worm. It
was officially noticed by the entomolo-
gist of the Colorado experiment sta
tion. Last year first brood of ca ter
pillars appeared at about the time for
thinning the beets and destroyed most
of the plants after thinning. One
method of destroying the early brood
is. to mix one part by weight of Paris
green or London purple and 20 parts
Of common flour, and then dust the
mixture over the plants, before sun
rise in the morning. In this strength
a light dusting will be sufficient In
the early morning the leaves have on
them enough moisture to hold the flour
and poison. It may also be applied
after the leaves have been moistened
by shower. Toapply the poison, make
small cheesecloth sack about five
inches in diameter and ten inches deep.
Fill it with the mixture of poison and
-four and walk along row of plants
shaking the sack over them. This can
be done quite rapidly when one has
learned how and is economical of poi
son, and does not require wheelbarrow
OF wagon to carry pump and tank.
When the plants become large, as in
case of treatment for the second brood,
it will probably be better to use bar
rel or tank and spray pump.

SHALLOW CULTIVATION.
Horticultural Authorities Unite in
Agreeing That 1t Is Most Eject
!. i've for Orchards,

While it is an accepted fact that so
far as conditions will ad nit thorough
cultivation should be given during the
early part of the growing season to the
young orchard, at the same time it
should be understood that the cultiva-
tion should be shallow. particularly
close about the trees. With all plants,
in$cultivating care should be taken not
tosdisturb the roots. and this is espe-
cially true as regards fruit trees or
pants. While thorough cultivation is
admittedly beneficial, it should always
be given in way that will not disturb
orinjure the roots.
With little care the weeds NAV be
kept down and the soil in good tilth by
giving shallow cultivation. When plow-
ing care should be taken to run shallow
when close to the trees in order to
avoid injury to the roots. When no crop
is grown. if when the last cultivation is
given the soil be left level. fine and
mellow 1T will act as a mulch. during
the summer and aid very materially in
retaining the moisture in the soil. and
with newly-set trees this is quite an ad-
vantage, as many die the first year for
want of moisture.-N. j. Shepherd. in

The Currency Question.


the United States. That this means the
ultimate redemption of silver dollars
and certificates in gold is ~undoubted;
the secretary now must maintain the
parity" of the silver dollar and of all
other forms of money precisely as he
has for years maintained the legal
tender notes at parity with gold, by
exchange of gold on demand.
The republican party has sown the
seeds Of financial folly, and the whirl-
wind of business ruin will be the in
evitable harvest. I may be deemed a
pessimist when say that in my judg-
ment the REACTION from the gold stand
ard, with the demands, for an increase
of legal tender money to meet the ne
cessities of the people, will be not on.y
flood of fiat money, but possibly a
food of bloodshed before the question
is finally determined. Pray. God that
my apprehensions be groundless. Yet
it seems to me that one of two things
must from the very nature of things
come to pass in the not remote future.
There will be irretrievable industrial
slavery; or the acute antagonism (from
disastrous changes in the level of
prices) between capital and labor will
precipitate, throughout Europe and
America, scenes which characterized
the history of France little more than
hundred years ago.
That awful cataclysm came through
the rejection by the rulers of France
of the honest principles of money for
the necessities of the people. It's in
ception was the adoption of the gold
standard in 1859 under Louis XIV.
when the ratio was suddenly raised
from 1874 to 15.4N. followed by the
abandonment of silver as redemption
money; and later by the abandonment
of gold as well, to follow the delusions
of John Law. Will it be necessary for
this great republic to tread the thorny
path of the Bourbons ?-L. NJ. Garrett,

HANDLING CORN SHOCKS.
Although 1t Is a Task Of Far-Reach-
ing Importance, But Few Per- -
form 1t Well. '--.:

The report of the Kansas state
board of agriculture: says where hand
labor is plenty, the standard price for
cutting corn by hand is five cents per
shock, IA by IA hills square, without
board, or 80 cents per acre, as there
are 16 shocks of this size. per acre.
Corn should always be cut on bright,
clear days or on such day as is good
to cure hay in. Two men should work
together, and the shocks should be
started on a jack, which is made by
putting two legs, well braced togeth-
er, near one end of a ten-foot scan
tling, and having an auger hole near
the upper end for a broom handle. AS
soon as four armfuls are set up
against the jack the shock should be
loosely tied with stalk and the jack
removed. As soon as the shocks have
thoroughly cured. say two weeks aft
er cutting, those that are to be stored
in the barn should be baled under
5000 pounds pressure, and tied up
with wire Common hay-baling wire,
one wire will tie up two shocks), and
those that are to be fed from the
field can be pulled up tight with rope
and pulley and tied with binding
twine; the twine should be satur-
ated with coal oil to prevent mice and
insects from destroying it. Eminent
professors have agreed that it only
takes one and one-half inches of rain
fall to wash all traces of digestible
matter out of shock of alfalfa, and
corn shocks are also affected, but not
to so great degree, They have also
agreed that well-cured corn fodder,
put under good roof without having
had any rain on it, is in every respect
just the same as ensilage, except the
water content, and it is only neces-
sary to cut it and add the water to Sc
cure food identical to ensilage with
out the cost of silo, with its short
life, and also without the 20 to 25 per
cent. waste that mold causes in the
corners of the silo.-Prairie Farmer.

Handling Alfalfa MILK,

Butter made from milk of alfalfa
fed cows is liable to have a peculiar
flavor unless special care is taken in in
the handling of the cream. It is Gus
tomary to separate very heavy cream
and to hasten the ripening in order. to
exclude or cover undesirable havors.
The cream tests about 40 per cent. fat
and the use of homemade or CONNER
cial starters is not uncommon Tn one
creamery the cream is stirred contin-
ually for five hours after it is put into,
the vat. No doubt this serves to aerate
it and partially removes undesirable
havors. The cream is churned from 80
to "a hours old and the butter is inn

How the Standard Is Maintained


Experience proves that when by
law we have two standard dollars-sil-
yer and gold-the one which is cheap
er in the market expels the other from
circulation, so that a single standard
results in practice. In 1857, for exam
pie, the gold dollar drove out the sill
YER dollar because at that time the gold
dollar as bullion was worth 1C0 cents
and the silver dollar was worth as bull
lion 104 cents. The silver dollars were
exported to be melted, the exporter
getting profit of four cents dollar.
No silver dollars remained in circula-
ton. But now that the bullion in sill
YER dollar is worth little over As cents,
that dollar. if made a standard and ad-
mitted to ''free and unlimited" coinage,
would expel the gold dollar from cir
culation. People always 'pass off
