The Worlds Wheat Crop.

According to Beerbohm's estimates
the worlds wheat crop this year IS
2,s61, 200 900 bushels of 60 pounds,
against 2,S01 100000 such bushels in
1901, difference OF 10000 900 bushels
in favor of this year. This is the larg-
est crop since that Of 1898, which
Beerbohm puts down at 1852, ,400, 900
bushels of 60 pounds The crop Of
the Southern hemisphere included in
these figures is in each case that Of
the harvest following the European
harvest of the year for which the es-
innate is given. Thus the estimate
for 1902 includes the estimated crops
to be harvested in the Southern hemi-
sphere few months hence. The crop
OF Argentina to be harvested in No.
vember, December and January next
is put down at S0,0oO0O0 bushels. .
considerable increase on the last crop
of that country. Uruguay and Chill.
too. are credited with increased crops,
but the crop of Australasia Is esti-
mated at only 100000 bushels.
which is less than the production Of
any recent year, although short crops
in that part of the world have. with
only two exceptions. been the rule for
almost decade past.

How to cireurvert the Hesslan Fly.
So little complaint of the Hessian
fly has been heard at the Ohio Expert
ment Station this season that there
is ground for the hope that there wiz
be no more trouble from 1t for rev
years to come, but it will be wiser tor
farmers to be on their guard lest II
may reappear suddenly as Y DID IN
1899.
1t is possible for every farmer to de-
termine for himself whether the ny Is
likely to appear in destructive mum
bers in his wheat each season To &C
complish this, let a small strip Oh
wheat be sown along one side OF the
intended wheat field about two weeks
before the time when the main crop is
usually sown In that particular local
fty. As soon as the wheat comes ABOVE
the ground examine the young Shoots
carefully every day with magnifying
glass. A cheap lens, magnifying ABOUT
three diameters. which can be bougnt
Of any optician or department store
for dollar or less, is SUFFICIENT. II
the fly is present its minute. reddish
eggs. one-fiftieth of an inch long. will
be found in the creases Of the young
wheat blades. Once seen under glass
these eggs can easily be seen by the
unaided eye as red specks. Often two
or more are found together, lying end
to end.
Usually egg laying occupies about q
week, and II the fly, on her appear
ance. finds little wheat ready for her,
she will soon deposit all her eggs,
after which the main crop may safely
be sown in the assurance that by the
time it appears above ground the eggs
will all have been laid on the earlier
sown wheat.
Many farmers suppose that the 30
called "dax-seeds," which are found IN
October and November at the base OF
the wheat stalk, are the eggs OF the
fly. but this is a mistake; these max
seeds" are the full grown larvae OF the
fly. which undergo their transforma'
tion into the winged insect within the
brown cases called fax seeds. ."-Chas

Feeding Cattle.

Pigs should always follow the fat-
tening cattle, at least one pig to every
two steers. A good way to feed fod-
der corn is to have two large yards
or fields, hog tight. Scatter the corn
fodder in yard No. / and allow your
fattening cattle to be in there 1or the
first half day. Scatter more corn fod-
der in yard No. 2, and drive cattle
from yard No. l to yard No. 2 Tor
the second half day. Then drive the
other stock-pigs, cattle and horses
into yard No. / where the fattening
cattle have been, and they will pick
up everything, so there WI not be
any waste
When you have fed this way for two
or three months confine your fatten-
ing cattle in small yard and feed
snapped corn for about a month or
six weeks. II the weather Is cold,
shelled corn is better for them,
mixed with about onefourth oats and
a little oil cake. For coarse tood,
clover or timothy hay is the best. but
II hay is scarce stock fed in this way
will do well on straw. Always have
plenty OF water where they can get
at 1t; also keep salt mixed with sui

Figs to Become Standard Crop.


During a recent visit to the ME-
souri, Experiment station the ~lltei
noticed a number of fig trees III
thrifty condition. Here and tnefe
were partly grown figs. Prof. HOW
ard, who accompanied the writer eA
planned that these figs are borne On
the second year wood. and as mucn
of the new wood froze last winter tne
crop Of fruit WAS small. The surpriS
ing thing about 1t is that the fig can
stand any cold at all. These hg trees
at the Missouri station have 10 oe
bent down and covered up every WIN
ter. Hay and rubbish is used for tnat
purpose. Otherwise the trees freeze
back to the ground. In case OF 50
freezing back they make very lux
urixat growth the next spring. Ine
writer saw some that had been lett
uncovered and had been frozen back.
Yet they had made a growth OF AZ
least six feet and had developed
very large amount of foliage. How
ever, they bore no fruit The trees
that had been covered had helght
of perhaps eight feet and were very
bushy and supplied with great
wealth of foliage.
We have looked upon the fig as
tree belonging to the fire-parched des-
erts of Africa and Asia. We have
never suspected that it could be grown
out OF doors even in the temperate
zone. II 1t can be made to grow as
far north as Columbia, Missouri, what
can we look for in the great region
lying to the south of Missouri? Ger
tainly that vast stretch Of country
little exposed to cold, will be found
magnificent region in which to de-
velop orchards of this oriental fruit
Southwest are still greater possibil
tiles. Southern Arizona and New
Mexico should prove to be the regions
best adapted to the development Of the
figs, and we may be sure the people
of those regions will not be slow to
find out the possibilities that slumber
in the combination Of those warm val
leys and the fruit food of the Arabs
In California already the growing
of these orchards has become busi
ness of itself. Trees are coming into
bearing by the thousands. and ths
shipment of fresh figs is to begin this
season. The present outlook for this
crop around Fresno, California. is said
to be veV encouraging. The yield 10
larger than 1t was last year. and the
quality is better. Preparations ars
being made to ship these dgs by ex.
press to Chicago and New York. where
good market awaits them. Few peo-
pie In this country have ever tasted
ripe and fresh hgs.

Roots In Hog Feed.

So far as economy is concerned lit
tie can be said ABOUT roots in the ra-
ton for the hog. But they have val
ue in addition to the nutriment that is
In them. 1t takes from six to eight
pounds of roots to equal In feeding
value one pound of mixed grain. But
the feeding of roots keeps tue animals
in good condition, which In turn helps
them use to advantage the grains they
receive. They prevent young and
growing pigs from getting too fat.
Hogs as we'll as other animals seem
to want some bulky feed and the roots
supply that need. In fact the snout
of the hog was given him to permit
him to dig into the earth after roots,
and We can we'll imagine that they
are therefore of unusual value to him.
There Is little doubt that roots are
not fed to hogs In America az freely

Turkey and Chicken Crop.

From all reports there will be a
shortage in the turkey crop this
year says W. L. Ogden in the Sioux
City, Iowa. Tribune, but 1t Is i'm
possible to Approximate what the
shortage will be as the turkey season
will not be on until October. This
has been bad season for growing
turkeys owing to the heavy rains
Young turkeys will not thrive in wet
weather. Last year there was q short
age In the amount OF turkeys raised
because Of the scarcity of the 1000.
Then the crop was only about rs per
cent and from all reports 1t Will be
still less this year. / don't believe
there will be much of falling on
In the number Of chickens raised this
year So far the market looks GOOD
with prices several cents higher than
last year At this time last year
spring chickens sold at nine cents
per pound. This year there is an in
crease OF two cents in the price. The
market price for hens also is about
two cents higher than last year. This
increase. however, is not due to
shortage in the crop, but is brought
about owing to the high price OF
meat. Because Of this raisers are
eating chickens instead OF sending
them to the market.

Building Fruit Houses.

A fruit house should be so construct
ed as to preserve an even tempera-
ture, says q bulletin of the Cornell
station. Storage houses are of two
types: First, those which modify but
do not regulate extremes Of tempera-
ture, and second, those which furnish
definite low temperatures. Houses of
the first class are generally within the
means of the commercial fruit grow
er. Those of the second belong to the
equipment of the fruit dealer. Tho
ordinary storage house is probably
frame building provided with a well
drained cellar and having perfectly
insulated walls and double doors. In
sulation is secured by providing two
or more air spaces in the walls. These
air spaces should be separated by pa
per.covered partitions. Comparatively
low temperatures in these buildings
may be secured in fall by keeping
them tightly closed during the warm
part Of the day and ventilated on cool
nights. Fruit houses of this charac-
ter will keep out frost SO that the
grower may hold his fruit till favor.
able opportunity for selling occurs.
Dry air prevents the growth Of fungi.
but causes the fruit to shrivel; .
moist atmosphere on the other pre-
serves the plumpness of the fruit but
encourages the development Of para
sitic plants. Extremes should b
avoided. The principal thoughts for
the fruit grower to keep in mind in
handling his fruit are that 1t is . per
ishable article. that its keeping sea
son may be heightened by careful
handling and by low. even tempsra.
ture. and that profits may be In
creased by placing 1t on the market
in an attractive form.

prune culls can be made into vinegar
and 60 cents q bushel realized. Prof.
Pernot converted 10.482 pounds Of

He is confident that 1t will develop
the per cent acetic acid necessary to

tails at 20 cents per gallon and the
experiment indicates that one bushsl
of prunes will make three gallons Of
