The Chinch Bug.

The Ohio experiment station is re-
ceiving letters indicating an extensive
outbreak of chinch bugs In certain
parts of the state. The following rem
edy, the formula of Professor Forbes
of Illinois, Is therefore offered:
dissolve one-half pound hard or soft
soap in one gallon of water and heat to
the boiling point. Remove from the
stove and add two gallons of coal oil,
churning the mixture with a good force
pump for 10 minutes. When the emul-
sion is formed, 1t will look like butter
milk. - 49,.
ITO each quart of this emulsion add
Is quarts of water and apply to the
corn In a spray, preferably before 10
a. IN. or after p. IN. The bugs should
be washed off so that they will float In
the emulsion at the base Of the plant.
A teacupful to hill Is generally suffi-
cient, but the quantity must vary with
the number of bugs infesting the corn"
The progress of these bugs through
a field may be INSTRUCTED by making a
shallow, V shaped trench with the cor
ner of a hoe and filling it with coal tar

days. They may also be destroyed by

FEEDING WHEAT.
Best Utilized In the Form of Meal
Mixed With other Grain.

A large production Of wheat and a
corn crop cut by drought in many sec
lions bring up the question of feeding
wheat in place OF corn. ]. T. Willard of
the Kansas station finds from a study
of experiments and standard statistics
on the subject that wheat and corn fed
in the form of meal are of equal value
for feeding
In feeding wheat satisfactorily a
number of considerations must be kept
In view. The kernels being much small
er than those of corn there Is much
more danger of their escaping mastica-
ton and passing out undigested. Many
farmers who regarded 1t as unprotita-
BILE to feed wheat whole found on
crushing or grinding it that all Difficult
ty disappeared. 1t is especially neces-
sary when fed to steers or milk cows.
In animals with smaller mouths there
is less waste than with cattle, and some
have observed a positive advantage
with sheep in feeding it whole. This
was due however, to the greater con-
sumption of whole grain than ground.
advantage in feeding In that 1t Is apt
to form a gummy mass, which adheres
to the teeth, making it difficult and dis
agreeable to handle by the animal. This
fault has been the source of some of
the poor results in feeding it and is best
obviated by feeding it mixed with some
other grain, as corn, oats or Katfir corn.
Animals fed upon a mixture are also
less liable to become cloyed than when
fed on wheat alone.
In discussing the feeding value Of
wheat the grain only has thus far been
in mind. In this year of extreme scar.
city OF roughage 1t may not be amiss to
inject a word of suggestion that wheat
straw is much better than nothing and
that in all probability the farmers of
the wheat belt can contribute to the
needs of their less fortunate fellow citi-
zens and add to their own profits by
preserving, baling and marketing their
straw instead of burning 1t as usual.

THE HORSE INDUSTRY.
Why the Eastern Farmer VIII DO
Well to Raise n Few Horses.

A belief exists all over the east that
In the future the west can be depended
upon to supply horses at a less cost
than eastern farmers can afford to
raise them. \ months sojourn in the
west looking up the horse industry
leads me to the conclusion that such
belief is unfounded, says National
Stockman writer. The plain facts are,
the low prices of few years past have
more effectually driven rhe western
breeder out of breeding horses than the
eastern breeder. True, there are horses
found in plenty in the sale stables. But
the quality of them is poor--in fact,
very poor In many cases. Scarcely a
first class carriage, coach or draft horse
can l find. By far too many of them
are 100 pounds too light for carriage
horses, and when | do find one large
enough with kind disposition and in
telligent l find him poorly formed
There are no doubt good sires in the
country west of the Mississippi but
they are comparatively scarce. There
are some very good mares left there yet
on the farms. But with the slres at
present there no considerable number
of first class horses will come to east
ern markets for some years. This can
be depended upon. The west has SEEM
ingly been made the dumping ground
for the Gull stations of the eastern
states.
The farmer OF New York, Pennsyl-
vania or Ohio who has good mares will
do well to breed them to good sires and
thus be ready in the future to supply
an increasing demand for good horses.
or that l have not the slightest doubt
In the east the fall colt can be raised
where the mare Is one Of the team and
but little or no Inconvenience expert
enced. The colt can be weaned just
before pasture and raised with little
expense to supply the farm team,
which in the future will take more
money than In the past to buy or am
no prophet, and l think l am after
looking over the horse situation.
