The Glover Hay Worm.

The clover hay worm (Pyralis costa
lis) is more abundant than formerly in
Kansas. 1t has long been recognized
as member Of our fauna, but until re-
Gently has attracted little attention.
With the extension OF alfalfa growing,
however, this species finds new and
entirely suitable food and it's abundance
in stacks of this valuable hay, as evil
denced through communications receiv-
ed at this office, may we'll mark it as a
pest Of importance.
This worm attacks clover and alfalfa
hay, both in the NOW and in the stack,
cutting up the leaves into chaffy pieces
and webbing the mass together by
abundant cases of silken threads, which
is the habit of the worm to spin at all
times. Hay 80 infested looks mouldy
aud matted, and the abundance of the
silken threads, mingled with the excre-
ment eff the worms, renders the hay
distasteful to cattle.
When young the worms are of dir
ty white color, darkening as they grow
older, until they become livid brown.
When mature they measure about
three quarters of an inch in length.
The pupsl stage is passed in thin
silken cocoon spun near where the lar
val life is passed, and the adult moth is
soon given forth, trim little insect
with wings spreading forth ab)ut four
fifths of an inch, in color, lilac brown
or purple, with two bands of lighter
shade each starting from a yellow spot
on The front of the wing.
The moths may frequently be seen
resting on walls and timbers in barns
where clover hay has been stored, and
their appearance in such places should
warn the owner to cean out the mows
thoroughly before storing the new
crop The insect is always more abund..
ant where old hay remains over sum
mer, and in stack bottoms rebuilt in the
same place year after year,of the waste
hay remaining over. Much less dan
ger Of attack will result il such waste
hay be fed out clean; or il badly in
tested it should be burned. The anus
ing suggestion of a writer in a recent
number of Kansas paper that the
worms may be destroyed by placing on
the top of the stack vessel containing
carbon-bisulphide will hardly commend
itself to practice with those having any
experience with this liquid.-E. A. Po-
pence, Kansas Experiment Station.

Fencing aud Its Cost.

Fencing is one of the heavy items of
farm expense. Timber never was
abundant in this part of the West, and
has become 80 scarce that the Virginia
rail fence or post and rail fence is no
longer made. Even wher4 timber is
abundant the Virginia fence is far
from cheap, because of the ground it
occupies. Not only is a wide strip
taken from cultivation, but it makes
inevitable something of a fight against
weeds, and it also makes breeding
ground for hurtful insects, etc. This
is equally true OF the Osege orange
hedge fence. which is also gross feed
er. l bave not seen any new hedge
put out for some years in the West,
and there are good reasons for this
Effectiveness aud durability consider
ed, our most economical fence is the
woven wire fence, and at present prices
it is not low priced fence. There is a
very gone al and well defined suspicion
among Western farmers that the price
OF wire is higher than it should be, and
that some trust promoters and olhers
have been iattening at the expense of
the Western farmer. Certain it is that
the cost Of any fencing is now 80 con-
siderable that the amount required
be reduced to the minimum, and the
first step in doing this is to have the
law changed TO compel every one to
fence in his own animals.
or course, the cry will be raised that
this is oppressive to the poor man, that
it is taking away his pasture, etc. We
have found, however, that where the
law has been changed the poor man
has been able to find pasture for his
COW, and she has certainly Jared much
better than before. The roadside very
rarely affords good pas ure, and when
to scant and uncertain feed are added
racing by boys, tormenting by dogs
and clubbings by angry owners of dam
aged gardens or crops, the lot OF the
highway COW is not such as to make it
any real charity to her owner to allow
her to be highway COW. 1t is GER
tainly very expensive charity, and the
quicker it is ended the better for the
community, - John M. Sahl, in the
Country Gentleman.

AGRICULTURAL.
Preventing MILK Fever.

Mr.. Obediah Brown of Rhode Island,
VIII has a reputation as breeder OF
ia ICY cattle ia that stte, aud who has
been among the larger exhibitors at
the New England fairs and at State
fairs in other S ates, tells how he has
successfully treated cows attacked by
milk tever. His repu,atiol is such
that we republish his directions in his
own words, ana all the more willingly
because we know that the rem adies be
prescribes are adapted to reduce fever
and relieve pain. He says:
"My experience has been confined to
my herd and to some of my neighbors'
cows. Ny treatment is with laudanum
and with spirits of sweet nitre. When
the COW is first taken give ar ounce
of laudanum and nitro in a pint of
blood-warm water sweetened with mo-
lasses.
"Shake up together in quart bottle,
hold up the cows head, slip the neck of
the bottle in the side of her N )uth, be-
tween the grinders and front teeth, and
let the liquid run down her throat.
If this does not relieve her she will
bloat slightly aud appear uneasy. In
three or four hours give one-half
ounce more of laudanum and nitre.
Repeat this dose as often as she be-
comes uneasy, or in three or four
hours. If this does not relieve the
COW increase the quantity until the
medicine masters the disease.
'Ole of my cows bad milk fever
three years in succession. The ordi-
nary dose does not relieve her, gave
two ounces Of laudanum and two OF
nitre at one dose. 1t had the desired
effect, and reli we'd her so that in a
few hours she was on her feet eating
hay.
81 have never known cow with
physic to recover from milk fever; with
the above treatment have never lost
y cow"

Cover Crops for Orchards.

A man who has made great reputa-
ton as farmer because he took a poor
farm and made it rich, though he had
no means except what was in the land, ,
and who made himself rich while he
was making the land rich, recently
made remark that was as full of real
sound sense as any We ever heard.
Speaking of the great crops of potatoes
he has always grown, he said: "We
took thousands OF dollars out of the
land by extra tillage and got thousands
out of the air by clover growing"
Every man who has made money by
leg innate farming, and does not owe
his success to any accidental high price
growing out of special circumstances,
he's owed much Of 1t to thorough cult
walton. The return from extra labor
and care put into cultivation seems to
be out of proportion often to what
could be reasonably expected. Taking
the wheat crop for instance; with some
farmers, who are famous for their sue
cess, the rule seems to be TO prepare
the land all that seemed to be neces-
sary and then give just as much more.
Some eople seem to fear i'll conse-

Vermont Sheep In Australia.

The rival claims of Vermont versus
Australian merinos are exciting con-
siderable attention among pastoralists
throughout the commonwealth, there
having been something like "dead
set" made against Vermont candidates
at the recent stud sheep sales in sgd
ney, Melbourne and elsewhere, and
during the newspaper controversy thus
awakened, nearly all the participants
seem to overlook the fact that the Yer
mont, like the Australian, merino, is
OF the rurest blood, and not an infe-
rior animal, it is purely question of
wool.
Several years ago Mr.. McFarlane, an
enterprising pastoralist, owing large
station near the River Murray, import
ed number of Vermont sheep, and
found the experiment answer 80 well
that he has patronized the Vermont
ever since. In 80 doing he has, how
ever, encountered considerable oppo-
sitlon from the growers of fine woods,
who have predicted all kinds of horri-
be results if the number of Vermont
sheep be allowed to increase, overlook
ing the fact that the Vermont wool is

not only an Improvement on the ordin-
airy Australian wool, but also more
readily salable in the worlds markets.
The real sufferers by the introduce
ton Of the Vermont sheep will not be
the growers Of fine woods, but the grow
ers OF inferior kinds. 1t is admitted
that the quantity of yolk carried by the
Vermont is excessive, q secured fleece
losing more than half its original
weight, but, on the other hand, the
original weight is so great that the
value Of the fleece when secured is
higher than that of the Australian fl o
wool merino. The importers of the
Vermont never intended to substitute
them generally for the Australian
breed. Their idea was that iudicious
mixture OF Vermont and Australian
bloods would lead TO breed OF sheep
with larger frames and heavier heeces
than those Of the ordinary nerino, and
this is exactly what II as been secured.
Efforts are being made to prevent Yer
monts from obtaining prizes at agricul-
tural shows, but if they are found pro-
dnctive Of increased profits, nothing
short OF legislative prohibition can pre-
vent their regular importation. 1t re-
mains, however, to be seen how far
they may become affected by Austria
liam climatic influences, point on
which there exists considerable uncer-
tainty.-John Plummer, Sydney, New
South Wales.

quences from making the soil too fine,
because, as they say, if they do not
leave more or less Jumps in it the land
will pack when it rains. 1t is not the
fineness that makes it pack; it is the
lack of vegetable matter in the soil.
Such land should have LIBERAL applica-
tions OF barnyard manure for a few
years, or else have some green stuff
plowed under. The easiest way to do
this is, probably, to SOW rye in the fall
and pillow under in the spring when
knee high, and plant in corn or some
thing else. But the better way is to
SOW leguminous crop, clover, cow
peas or soy beans. Then one gets the
twofold advantage OF adding humus IS
We'll as nitrogen, and of the latter it is
hardly possible ever to get too much.
This, by the way, is fault in soils on
too many farms, and it should by all
means be watched for and remedied.-

Mr.. Roots Fighting Rooster

wish to say word, however, about
that pugnacious rooster. He chases
Mrs. Root out of the poultry house,
and he actually sent me off limping
and with wry face this morning. 1

TO cit. l thought he could not do much
harm anyway, but he flew at my knee,
and struck 1t with both feet and with
both wings, so that was glad to beat

through any of the poultry journals
of rooster that would attack it's keep
er. After my knee got over hurting l
tumbled him over and over in the
grass, and gave him pretty good cuff
ing, and after some time l succeeded
in getting him TO run. Then l chased
him in and out among the beehives I'M
til thought he was conquered, but in
little while he was CROWN Justify and
wanted me to stop my work and en-
gage in another "round." Now, then,
does this trait of that particular fowl
necessarily indicate unusual vitality,
vigor, as well as courage? l think he
would give a chicken hawk a pretty
good tussle He is not afraid OF any
thing or anybody. Everything has got
to get off the walk and 90 around him
that is, when he is among his group
OF six pullets. If they are not around,
he does not care particularly about
fighting. He regards be poultry house
As his special domain, and he evidently
thinks the eggs were not laid to be
gathered. They are to hatch chickens.
Now, is he sport among poultry, or
"are there others?" He will take lit
tie run, and spring high enough to
knock dish out of ones hands and
give your hands and elbows such a
humping you will be glad to back off.

for you in a fight, with "both feet"

both wings.

the hen all right, and Strengthened up,
when "that rooster" made a spring,
knocked the basin out of my hands,
and not only the basin, but my nose
glasses, too, went tumbling in the dust.
Then he tipped his head to one side
and gave ne look that evidently
meant, "These sitting hens belong TO
me, and l propose to run this thing
myself."-A. l. Root, in Gleanings in
