Plant Pears in Sod.

From Farmers Review: We have
found by experience that pears
should always be planted in stiff sod
and not even be mulched with straw.
Coal ashes may be put around them
but never spade around them, as not
spading will cause them to grow slow.
er, but not blight like those of quicker
growth. We planted about Is pear
trees some eight or ten years ago.
Those which we planted in cultivated
land are nearly all dead, while those
planted in stiff sod have given more
fruit than all the rest. They blight
but little, grow very slowly and do
not seem to need cutting the tops
back. I think it is also benefit
never to trim them, except to cut out
dead branches; but those set in stiff
sod have scarcely any dead branches.

The Larder Beetle.

the Iarder Beetle.
]. P. Aberli, Kentucky reader Of
the Farmers Review forwards little
beetle and says: Here is a bug that
a neighbor brought me, asking what
could be done to destroy same. 1t
gets through cotton sacks and eats
holes in hams, with the. result that
small shippers appear. What can be
done to exterminate them?"
We forwarded the insect to the
Kentucky Experiment Station and re-
ceived the following reply:
To the Farmers Review:-The in
sect enclosed with the communication
from Mr.. Aberli is q, small beetle
about one-fourth inch long, black,
with a gray area at the bases of the
front wings. It is well known every
where as the Larder Beetle (Dermes'
ties lardarius), and feeds upon dead
animal matter of various sorts. 1t is
at times very destructive to preserved
skins, and attacks hams as noted by
your correspondent. The young is not
a skipper" however, but rather
hairy worm that can creep, but never
leaps. These worms commonly live
on the outside of preserved meat, but
penetrate it when ready to become
pupae. The adult beetles enter dwell
ings in the spring, and then place
their eggs on anything that will afford
food to their young. They may be
kept out by the use of screens, such
as are used for flies and mosquitoes
But once on meat they should be re-
moved by trimming away the infested
parts, and then putting the meat
where the adults cannot get to it.
Under some circumstances it is pos
sible to rid objects Of the insects by
fumigating with bisulphide of carbon.
This is especially good for infested
skins, and may be used without dan.
ger Of injuring dried meats.-H. Gar
man, Entomologist.

Destruction by Gophers.

The amount of damage to farm
crops by these little pests is very
great. 1t is estimated that in 1901 the
damage to the alfalfa growers of Kan
sas from the ravages of the pocket
gopher was 100000. Grass, small
grain, corn, vegetables, etc., suffer
largely from gophers. Their damage
is Of two-fold character in that they
not only destroy the growing grain,
but throw up little mounds of dirt in
the fields to interfere with cutting the
crops. The gophers also tramp down
and destroy each season a large
amount of grain, and it may be safely
said that in North Dakota the damage
to farm crops in the aggregate is
greater than the estimated damage to
the alfalfa-growers of Kansas.-Kan-
sas Report.

Breeding Sugar Beets.


The progress of the work in the
breeding Of sugar beets is certainly
encouraging, says a recent circular of
che University of Illinois. About 300
individual beets were analysed in the
spring of 1902, the beets having been
saved from the 1901 crop, and the best
Deets were selected from all of those
analysed and were planted as seed
oeets. Owing to the very wet season
only small quantity of seed was pro-
duced but this has been saved and
will be planted in 1903. From the
best variety of beets grown during the
past season of 1902 more than 1000
seed beets were carefully selected and
these individual beets have already
been analysed. About 200 of the best
beets from this lot of 1000 are now
in cool storage and will be planted as
seed beets in the season of 1903.
These 200 seed beets are all exception
ally rich in sugar, the poorest beet
selected containing not less than II
per cent of sugar and the richest con-
tanning as high as % per cent. It is
hoped that a considerable quantity
OF very high grade sugar beet seed
may be produced from these seed
beets in 1903 When we remember
that beets containing IL or 10 per cent
OF sugar are considered very salts
factory for factory use, the possibility
OF growing high grade pedigreed sugar
beet seed from such stock of select
ed seed beets as the 200 we now have
IN cool storage, will be apparent and
its Importance will be appreciated.
IL conclusion we may say that the
evidence of the investigations con-
Quoted during the past season points
very definitely to the conclusion that
large yields Of sugar beets OF most
excellent quality can be produced in
Illinois, provided varieties are grown
which are adapted to our soils and
climate, and further provided that the
beets are properly planted on suita-
BILE soils and cultivated by methods
which have been shown by past ex
perience to be the most successful for
the growing of sugar beets.

To InocuIate Soy Bean Fields.

From Farmers Review: The d.
vision of Entomology and Botany Of
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station will furnish free to a
limited number of applicants cultures
of soy bean root-nodule bacteria, with
directions for inoculating seeds.
These cultures are made at the sta
ton, and have been carefully tested
for some time past with most crafty
ing results. Cultures will be sent
preferably to those upon whose land
nodules do not develop spontaneously.
and with the understanding that each
one receiving a culture will report re-
sults.-H. Garman, Entomologist and
BOtanist.

During the growing season of fruit
tree, the sap enters at, the hbrous
roots, passes up through the alburnum
or sap-wood, ascends to the extremi-
ties of the branches, and is distributed
through the leaves. Emerging thus
from the Ozark and minute vessels of
the wood, it is spread out and ex-
posed to the action of the light. It
now becomes essentially changed in
character, enters into new combina-
tons, and is charged with the mate
rails for the newly forming wood. It
descends, not through the sap-wood
but through the inner or living bark.
and deposits a new layer between the
bark and the wood.
