SQUASH BUGS IN AUTUMN.
Why 1t Is Important to XIII OF as
Many as Possible.

Why 1t Is Important to XIII OF as
Many as Possible.
The squash bug SO far as is known
develops exclusively on plants of the
squash vine family, including, besides
the squash, pumpkins, melons, Gu
cumbers and gourds. In New Hamp-
shire none of these plants grows wild
to any extent; consequently the bugs
that are present any spring will be
only those that have developed the
previous season upon plants grown by
man.
1t is the common practice to pay no
attention late in summer and early in
autumn to the swarms of young bugs
developing upon the vines, because
there is little danger of serious injury
from them SO late in the season, and
this is the reason why the following
spring the squash bugs swarm into
the fields in such enormous numbers.
Developing in autumn without moles-
tation they migrate to the woods or

naming there until spring, when they
come to attack the new crop. And,
doubtless to a considerable extent,
every grower may then be responsible
for the attack upon his own vines,
though, of course, there is more or
less interchange of bugs from neigh
boring plantations.
AS result of this condition it will
be readily seen that it is important to
kill off as many of the bugs in au-
tumn as possible. This is especially
true of the man who grows squashes
in a region where few are grown by
other people. AT least as soon as the
first frost kills the vines the planta-
ton should be thoroughly gone over
with one of the spray pumps that
throw a combination of kerosene and
water, and all the bugs that can he
reached should be drenched with at
least a 10 per cent mixture of kero-
sene.
A large proportion of the bugs at
this time are in the later nymph stages
and will be able to develop upon the
juices of the stems and miniature
squashes. They congregate in great
numbers upon the latter and are there
easily drenched with the spray. One
should not be content with going over
the field a single time. Many of the
bugs will surely escape, SO that the op-
GRAFTON should be repeated as often as
any considerable number of bugs are
present. New Hampshire Station.

Selection of Cows.
A correspondent of the New York
Farmer tells of Il dairyman who had
chance to sell ut u fair price five
out of his twenty-five cows. He Sc
lected what he thought were the five
poorest ones. The buyer took them
home. tested them by the Babcock
test and began feeding what he called
a well balanced ration. He soon found
he had five fair mixers whose milk
showed a high amount of butter fat.
The one who sold them is thinking
that through ignorance of his business
he sold the money making cows out of
his herd. Since last March he has
begun to weigh and test his milk, and
he has learned that he underestimated
some COWS and overestimated others,
and next fall will probably see some
going to the slaughter. While we do
not doubt this, we would say that from
March until June is not q fair test,
says the American Cultivator. The
test for year or from calf to calf
again is the only true test. We have
had COWS give large amount for four
or five months. but little for the next
three months and nothing for three
months more, and we have had others
that gave less when they were flush.
but as much nine months after they
of Gr.ct .,r1d did no
dry at all. We have had at least one
that was bought two months before
she calved whose milk for the first
two months scarcely showed more than
what chemists would call "a trace of
cream about as thick as sheet of pa
per. while six months later, when size
had reduced her milk to perhaps ten
pounds day. it had cream Oh it
that would be no discredit to Jersey
cow But she was lean when we bought
her, having had no grain and rather
poor hay all winter. and when her calf
was month old we began to feed her
literally with grain. that she might be
fit to kill in the fall. But if we cannot
feed butter fat or cream into the milk
it was her fault that she did not give
richer milk earlier in the season.
Dairy Cows Wanted.
1t is the herd of special purpose dali
ry cows we want and not the herd
kept to furnish chores for the owner
or hired man. 1t is not possible or wise
for many fa 'mers to own Il herd of full
blood cows. but it is every farmers
own fault who has been keeping cows
for five to ten years and has not
reached or passed the 800 pound mark
