An Asparagus Pest.

A bulletin of the Geneva station
says: In 1896 many asparagus plants
were found to contain. just below the
surface of the ground the little flax
seed-like bodies which form one stage
in the life history of some of the flies.
like the Hessian fly. Adults have now
been raised from these ''flaxseeds"
and found to be small. metallic.black
flies about one-siXth Of an inch IN
length. They are found to be quite
common on the flowers and branch
lets Of the asparagus. especially on
plants that have been eaten into by
the asparagus beetle, The maeso,s,
or larvae, of these flies arr about one
fifth Of an inch In length. somewhat
f,attened and et traasparcnt'whtt
color. They are found in mines In the
dermiA the mines usually beginning
near the surface Of the ground and ex-
tending diagonally downward about
the stem below ground for distance
of three or four inches, On seeding
beds and newly set beds. the mining
of these maggots has caused some in
jury, especially during 1900: but no
serious trouble has been observed on
cutting beds, though they are prob
ably numerous enough to cause some
weakening of the plants. The seed
lings turned yellow and died much
earlier than they would naturally do.
The maggots changed to puparia-the
'faxseed" stage--in the fall and
show on the infested stems as small.
oblong, dark-brown, raised spots be-
meath the epidermis of the stalks near
the base. Though the insect is not
yet serious pest. it will be well to
adopt some repressive measures should
it appear upon bed. The eggs OF
the first brood are probably deposited
early in June, SO no small shoots
should be allowed to grow on the cut
ting beds to receive these eggs. Pull
ing the old stalks in the fall and
burning them when dry will destroy
many Of the puparia.

Harvesting Potatoes.

The time for harvesting pot oes is
indicated by the dyins Of the vines.
The ripening process in the tubers
goes on up to thi: time. and 1t is
therefore not wise to attempt to har-
vest before that time. II dug while
immature the quality will not be so
good as 1t will be IL the tubers are
left in the ground till mature. On
the ether hand, IL left too lcng in the
ground decay is likely to set in. We
have known potatoes leIt in the fields
too long-till he ground froze too
hard to permit of digging. This is
not likely to occur. but has occurred
some years when winter came very
early. The man with a small patch
OF potatoes will dig his by hand but
the man that has large quantity to
be harvested cannot afford to do 1t in
the old-fa-hioned way. He must de-
pend on some of the first-class pota-
to diggers that are on the market.
Flowing out the tubc1s is practiced by
some farmers, but this is hardly de-
sirable method, as by it q great many
potatoes are injured. 1t is better to
invest in . tool made expressly for
the work.

American Packing Bad.

The State Department has published
the following report from Richard
Westacott. acting consul general at
London: 81 have recently received a
communication from w. E. Boyes, of
Leicester. chairman of the conference
of the National Federation of Fruit
erers. at Cardiff, May IL and 13, 1902,
transmitting copy of resolution
adopted by the federation, which
reads: This federation wishes to call
your attention to the unsatisfactory
way in which American apples are
packed. and asks II 1t is not possible
for you to adopt the same system as
Canada, and have all the apples graded
and stamped with the government
stamp. By so doing. you will largely
increase the demand for best quality,
and. consequently. the price Of Ameri-
can fruit Canadian apples are now
graded and stamped with the govern

Necessary for Drainage.

II there was eve year when the
advantages Of good drainage were
manifest 1t 10 this year, especially IN
the territory bordering on the Great
Lakes, where rains have been very
copious during the past two months.
In the vicinity OF Chicago many OF
the mar gardens are this year
made improbable by reason OF lack
Of drainage. Most plants cannot grow
with their roots Immersed in water.
The plants that are cultivated Tor
food are At = standsull IN. growth
while the water stands at the level OF
the ground. Not ill the water has
settled In the soil TO some distance
below them is II possible for them to
resume their normal condition OF
growth. Around Chicago, on the level
lands devoted to truck growing. the
water has bean standing for month
past. The vast fields of ga den vege-
tables seen on them are to a large II
tent spoiled. An immense amount OF
work and manure Las been expended
on .ie fields. but no returns are pos
sible. Yet proper drainage would
make the rains a blessing. Land
should be 20 well drained that water
will not stand at all. but will leave
the soil in \ usable condition fe :
hours after ever the heaviest rains.
When lands are not drained not only
do the plants stop growing while the
soil is water logged, but the fields
cannot be titled for days afterward.
The soil remains soft and soggy SO
long that no cror can be properly
tended. The land needs attention,
especially after the surface has been
packed by heavy rains. II the land
is In condition to pass the surplus
water into underground drains the
surface can be cultivated in COM
paratively short time after the rains
have fallen. We have no doubt that
the water-covered fields near Chicago
represent the condition Of thousands
OF planted fields in tie states border
ing the lakes.
1t seems strange thai after SO long
campaign in favor of draining there
should exist such large areas still un-
drained, especially areas that are de-
voted to the growing OF expensive and
profitable crops. The writer has year
after year noticed the fields on one
farm where water works havoc.
Sometimes the fields of this farm are
planted In corn and sometimes in po-
tatoes, but during every year there
are seasons when the crops stand in
the water for weeks at time. The
natural inference is that even when
the water drains from the surface it
remains so near the surface that little
can be expected in the way of crops.
And little is realized in the way Of
crops. The wonder is that any man
should continue to plant on such
land. Drainage helps in both rainy
and dry weather, but Is especially nee
essary in rainy weather.

Period of CESSATION Of Sheep.

Prof. w. A. Henry: Tessier, in q
report to the Academy Of Sciences.
Paris, gives the results Of his observa-
tons on the period Of CESSATION OF Sl2
ewes. The shortest period for the eve
carrying her lamb was 1i6 days and
the longest 1Sl days, = range of Is
days More than three-fourths Of the
ewes yeaned between the l50th and
the 15Ath day after impregnaton.
bringing the average to about l5e
days. or 81 weeks and i've days. Ran

Poor Cattle Impose on Mexiean..

Poor Cattle Impose on Mexicans.
Reports from Mexico indicate that
some live stock dealers there are
working a confidence game on the
badly informed natives and are selling
them poor American cattle at high
prices. Some Mexicans are enterpris-
ing enough to C, e to this
country and buy their own breeding
cattle. Such men get the best there
is and are satisfied, though they have
to pay good. prices for everything in
the breeding line. But the Mexicans
that order American cattle through
aative or resident dealers get some
very poor stun. This has been the
case to an extent that threatens to in
iire the sale of breeding bulls from
this country. The Mexicans pay for
first.class animals, but get scrubs One
result Is seen in the turning of the

cattle. Switzerland does not permit
cattle to be exported without . GER

erland and the confidence Of the Mex
leans has been won for the Brown
Swiss. The United States has had q
number Of lessons Of this kind. Prob
ably after the Swiss have taken all
the trade the United States may wake
up and do something But there Is
danger that the lesson We had when
Canada took our foreign cheese trade
will not be remembered In connection
with our cattle trade. We had 4 mag.
nificent cheese trade with England till
American sharpers were permitted TO
swamp the English market with filed
cheese, and then we lost 1t, the Eng
lish traders turning to Canada, where
there were laws absolutely preventing
such frauds. The Canadians took the
trade and have kept it We have a
good trade in cattle springing up with
Mexico and the other countries to the
south OF it We should foster 1t by
making fraud impossible.
