INSECT PESTS.

The more settled and civilized the
country becomes the more bugs there
are. Like the fashion plates for the
aides, there are new styles of bugs
each year. Weevil in the beans, Hes.
sian fly in the wheat, rootworm and
wireworm In the corn, beetles on the
potatoes, bugs on the melon vines,
chinch bugs in the small grain, aphis
and curculio on the plums and cher
ries, cankerworms in the apples, lice
in the chicken coop, borers in the fruit
trees, worms on the currants, flies in
the kitchen and mosquitoes on the
lawn and for many a man after his
all day fight withs this horde of pests
bugs in his bed to rob him Of a nights
rest! Mans hardest fight is with these
pygmy tribes, whose numbers yearly
Increase, and the science of agriculture
is doing no more practical work than
In discovering methods of limiting the
dcstructiveness of these insect pests.

HOW no WoRK HEN FARM.

A lady reader of these notes living
in Minnesota, inferentially a widow,
having come into possession of 80 acres
wishing to continue her residence in
town, wants to know what is best for
her to do with it. If she could sell
the land at $40 or $50 per acre and
invest the proceeds in some long time
and safe per cent security, she would
solve the problem in the way which
would be the least trouble for her. But
if she cannot sell, or does not wish
to and must run the farm by proxy,
she can most safely do so by putting
a dairy of Is or 20 cows upon the
farm and letting the farm ON a share
rent to some good, honest Dane, Swede
or German on a long term lease. The
will much exceed 5 per cent on the
money invested in it. By keeping the
farm thus stocked the land will grow
steadily richer and more productive,
There is such a difference in women,
some being good managers, others not.
Ii this lady has good business tact, she
can direct the operations of this farm
and make good money, and if she is
lacking in this particular she had bet
ter not attempt it, Then there Is a
great difference in farms. Our own
experience is that one is more likely
to secure q desirable tenant from
among the nationalities named than
from among narlye As:'ericsps

THE TERMINATION OF SEEDS,

We are asked why it is that weed
seeds ripened in July will many of
them fail to terminate under the mois-
ture and heat of August and Septem-
Der, but will remain dormant and only
terminate In the following season.
There is good deal of mystery about
the termination of seeds and the de-
velopment of plant life. If the term
may be used, sort of instinct seems
to govern the propagation of plant life.
If all weed seeds would readily germi-
nate as soon as ripe, it will be seen at
once that 1t would result in the exter-
mination of many species of plants, for
the reason that such new growth could
not in the brief growing season left
mature another crop of seed. We have
known clover seed to lie dormant in a
field for three years and then when
conditions which are not understood
were favorable to terminate and make
most excellent stand.

THE KING OF GRASSES.

We have an inquiry as to which is
the best grass. This cannot be an
swered without further information as
to climate, rainfall, soil and use to be
made of such grass. Wherever 1t will
do well alfalfa is the best Of the
leguminous grasses. Next to that are
the clovers. Good farming demands
that one or the other of these should
have a large place in crop rotation
wherever 1t is possible to grow it.
The best permanent pasture grass IS
the Kentucky blue grass, or June grass,
as it is often called, but this must be
Eonly grown where the rainfall Is lib
eral and certain during the growing
or summer season. The best grass of
all, for 1t is a grass plant, is corn. Its
various kinds, It's adaptation to an al
most endless variety Of uses and the
wide range of territory where 1t finds
a congenial home make it without
question the king Of all grasses. 1t
constitutes the base of nearly all the
vast wealth of the agricultural region
where 1t is grown and has become to
the people Of the great middle west
what the cocoanut palm is to the tribes
of central Africa, the date palm to
Arabia, the plantain to the south sea
| islands, the Goldfish to northern Scan
dinavia, the potato to Ireland. Rob
| the United States of corn and its agri.
culture would be paralyzed. Each sue
ceeding year chemist and scientist
elaborate some new product from it.,
while year by year the tireless in
ventor devises some new method Of
making this king of grasses contribute
to the wealth and well being of the
American people. The ripening ear of
corn on the green stalk is fitting coat
of arms for every stock raiser and
every stock mart in the land of every
kitchen in the country where tooth
some, savory and palatable food is
prepared. 1t should ornament every
tub of creamery butter made. Without
thinking of it we pay tribute to it when
we sweep our homes with new
broom. 1t sweetens our food as a
strip, starches our fine linen and fills
childhood with pleasant memories of
evenings spent before the open fire
| popping corn. 1t is a tenant of the
soil wherein it grows and never rob
Der, all it's wealth of product drawn
| from summer suns and tropical
warmth and moisture. The king of
all grasses, it is not yet appreciated,
nor is its real value yet understood by
the many who grow it.

1t is an open question whether or not
the world would not be better off pro-
vided the old Levitical law governing
the killing and use of animals for food
was in operation. One thing is certain.
The Jews, who adhere most rigidly to
the old Israelitish custom touching the
use of animal food, as people show a
most remarkable immunity from some
of the most destructive of the diseases
which affiict the gentle world. This
old law classed as unclean and unfit
for food all animals which parted the
hoof and did not chew the cud, which
classification bars out the hog, and
those animals were also unclean which
chewed the cud and did not part the
hoof, such as the camel the rabbit and
others.

THE WORK OF THE GOAT.

We passed by a tract of brush land a
short time ago which presented most
peculiar appearance. 1t was difficult
to determine whether it had been hit
by summer cyclone, visited by a
swarm of grasshoppers or struck by a
hailstorm. The underbrush was strip
ped clean of all leaves, small trees had
been bent over and peeled of leaves
and bark and what was once an al
most impenetrable thicket of LEAKAGE
and verdure on the hillside and valley
looked like battlefield after the last
gun was fred The solution of the
mystery lay in flock of Angora goats
which were lying down by the creek.
There is no doubt about it, man, II you
have got any brush land which you
want cleared get Angora goats to do it.

things which receive attention In the

HOT WEATHER AND SUGAR.

Sugar comes from the sun, and so it
comes that given sufficient moisture to
insure plant growth the more sun and
warmth the sweeter will all sugar pro-
ducing plants be. The present year
has been prolific in these sugar pro-
ducing conditions, and SO it comes that
the corn crop is exceptionally good, the
melons and beet roots more full of sug-
ar than usual, the sweet potatoes never
SO good.

ply of nutritious green food for hogs

to $50 per acre.
