FARMERS READING COURSES. !"

The Department of Agriculture
has issued bulletin on Farmers
Reading Courses" prepared by Prof
L H. Bailey, of Cornell University.
The idea of arranging special courses
for farmers reading and study was
adopted in 1892 by President Mills in
the Agricultural College of Ontario.
The same year the Pennsylvania
State College made a beginning in
similar direction. In both cases the
courses were carried on by "oorre
spondence method" In Pennsyl-
vania there are five courses, embrac-
ing crop production, live stock pro
duction, horticulture, Horticulture
and domestic economy. A similar
plan is pursued in New York. The
value of this order of work in stimu
lating the farmer to employ scientific
methods on the farm and in encourag-
ing a broader outlook and better
social conditions may not be over

State, as shown by the creamery re-
turns, was only about $22 per cow.
This deficiency of $22 So in the re
turns from the common COWS of the
State, it is fair to conclude, is
wholly due TO lack of knowledge of
proper feeding and care. Any
farmer who will procure this bulletin
through his Member of Congress and
try it's methods, will be more than
compensated.

News comes from all sections of
the State that an uuprecedently large
wheat acreage is being put in by the
farmers. That is a good sign. More
wheat, more peas, more grass, and
more poultry and small crops will
improve the condition far more than
so much cotton or tobacco.-Ex-

correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
While we were eating some nice
grapes recently after killing frost
the previous day, we thought what
a nice thing it would be to have a
lot of vines growing near the colleges
and high schools in the central and
eastern part of the State. A large
number of the students attending
these schools are from the country,
where fruit is plentiful, but when
they enter school such things are out
of their reach, as their money is
often very scarce. Nearly every
college, including the University, has
a large campus, either bare or with
trees that furnish shade only
and add little to the beauty of the
grounds-and this at time of the
year when shade is not needed. Most
all the schools close before warm
weather comes and do not open until
most of the warm weather is past.
So you see that shade is not so badly
needed after all, and if it is needed a
grape vine nicely arbOred will fur
nish all that is required. The kinds
which would suit best for this pur-
pose would be the Muskadine family.
Take the following varieties and
plant them about the same distance
given apple trees, and they would
furnish a succession from the middle
of August till the first of Novem-
ber: One fourth Scuppernong, one
eighth Thomas, one eighth Tender
Pulp and the remaining half in
Flowers, would be in the right
proportion. The first three ripen
about the same time. The Flowers
commence ripening in September
and continue through the whole
month of October. One acre would
be sufficient for 500 students.
Many boys often leave home to go
to school and become home-sick and
long for some of the fruits left be-
hind. We have known them to eat
persimmons Bnd wild grapes and
anything of the kind. The average
boy has an appetite which amazes
old people who forget that they once
possessed the same BILE ssing(D, and
would give almost anything they
have if they could get food that
tasted as it did when they were
young.
Grapes have always been regarded
as one of the finest fruits known TO
mankind. The men who went TO
"spig out the land of Canaan"
brought back some grapes, and later
when the coast of North Carolina
was being explored the fine grapes
attractel the attention Of the early
explorers. Grapes are one among
the most whOles me fruits we have.
A supply could be easily grown on
the school grounds at a very small
cost. The varieties named above
are 1T66 4GOu4 O4SOhSOy UAhO 4SS UAOJ
need no spraying. All that is required
is a good arbor for them to run on.
Properly set, a vine will cover 100
square yards in 10 or II years. A vine
of this size would require about 20
posts and 100 Stats. The posts, if of
good material, would last 10 to 40
years the Stats would have to be re
newed oftener. The school offering to
furnish grapes would be very popu-
lar and would get patronage from
many farmers.
Late apples and pears might be
used the same way. Schools located
in cities could not do this.

The farmers of this country for
merIy constituted about 80 per cent
of our population, in 1880 about so
per cent, and to day about 45 per
cent. Constituting so large a per
cent of our population, it logically
follows that whatever is done to
create better condition among
farmers is a blessing not only to
them but to the community at large.

TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS.
At This Season of Year Some Very Effective
Work Can be Done.

Work Can be Done.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
One cannot do better on the farm
late in fall and winter than to make
a thorough search in the orchard and
garden for insects, pests and their
eggs or larvae. We know enough
about the insect world now to under
stand that the best way to destroy
these is to prevent their millions of
eggs from Matching. Many of these
are laid on the twigs and in the bark
of the orchard trees. The tree bor-
ers and grubs bury themselves at
the base of the trees, and inside of
the bark and there hibernate. The
flies and insects glue their eggs to
twigs and bushes or bore pin-holes in
the trees and deposit them there.
Millions of these eggs are laid for
another seasons crop of insect pests.
The old insects of many species die
in the fall, and leave the future of
their race to the eggs thus laid By
destroying these eggs we get ahead
of the pests and greatly limit their
ravages.
One should go carefully over the
orchard trees and vines, and examine
twtgs, branches, roots and trunks.
Wherever there is any suspicion of
eggs glued in masses to the bark or
sawdust to indicate the presence of
a hole full of eggs, the owner should
sorape she bark carefully and run q
thin wire in the hole. Great quanti-
ties Of eggs can be gathered from the
bark of twigs and trunks in this way,
and if Immediately burned thousands
of insects will be prevented from
coming into the world. The worms
and grubs that bore in the trunks
and roots of the trees to hibernate
must be hunted for diligently, and
with a piece of wire they can easily
be killed. Even the leaves under
the orchard trees should be raked up
and burned. If it we're generally
known how many insect pests these
leaves harbor in winter they would
not be saved for bedding or anything
else. Many pest crawls under the
leaves and goes to sleep for the win
ter or deposits eggs there to hatch
in spring. The only sure way to
prevent this is to take up the leaves
after they have all fallen and burn
them. 1t will pay in the end good
interest on the work and investment.
Not even spraying will do 80 much
good in keeping down the insects as
this searching investigation of the
trees in fall and winter. Repeated
every year, the orchard will soon be-
come 80 free from nOxiOus insects
that the foliage and branches and
fruit will take on quite different
appearance. Many twigs on affected
trees will be found honeyoombed with
small pinholes. These should be
pruned off and burned. They rep
resent colonies of insect eggs that
may bring forth millions of pests
next spring. JAMES S. DOTY.

THERE may have been mistakes

dying with consumption, and the
petition for his pardon was signed

YACHT EELIN EXPECTED.
MR.. DODGE'S NEW RACING CUTTER
LOOKED FOR TO-DAY.

this season is expected TO arrive Greenport Long
Island to-day IT is the Eelin. belonging to Philip
T Dodge. and those who have seen the yacht
of the opinion that she will make a good record in
the racing season. The boat was designed by A. E.
Payne and built by Somers & Payne, of South
ampton England in 1899 She raced couple
of months. but out of commission last year.
The boat arrived at Bermuda recently. She will
be fitted out for racing Immediately.
The Eelin is similar in outline to the Senta and
the Isolde and will in that class She is of the
type of four new English boats which expect
ed in this country this season. The Eelin is of
deck and 90 feet on the waterline- she car
ries 1850 square feet of sail. exclusive of light
sails and is noticeable for her moderate overhang
and section forward, which makes her
good boat in Seaway. She has been in the water
this season only sixty days.
The owner of the yacht will not alter her original
