Destroying Onion Maegots.

To check further injuries TO onions,
kill the little white worms burrowing
into and about the plant. This may
to large extent be accomplished by
using carbon bisulphide, kerosene
emulsion or crude carbolic acid emul-
sion, says correspondent of the New
England Homestead. | would advise
the latter. To prepare this emulsion,
one pound of common washing or
whale-oil soap in one gallon of boil
ing water, add one pint of crude car
bolic acid, and thoroughly agitate the
whole by passing it through spray
pump, with nozzle attached, until it
forms an emulsion and the carbolfc
acid does not separate from the mass.
This is the stock material. For use,
it should be diluted when needed at the
rate of one part to 80 parts of water.
In making application, use enough of
the spray to penetrate the ground to
the worms below.
The success of the treatment de-
reached by the spray. If the ground
is hard, break the crust by raking or
hoeing the earth away from the plants.
This will save material, besides allow
ing the liquid to penetrate deeper into
the ground. If the ravages are not
satisfactorily checked by the first ap-
plication, make a second or third, at
intervals of week if necessary. Some
times the worms are only present in
certain parts of the field. In this
case, treatment of all the plants is not
necessary. The grower should ex-
anime what course to pursue
AS soon as the first spraying is done,
all dying plants whenever detected
should be taken out bodily and destroy
ed and the earth about the roots scat
tered about to expose the worms to the
heat of the sun, which is fatal to them
The parent insect is a small fly, closely
resembling the common house species,
which makes its appearance early in
the summer and deposits its eggs just
beneath the surface of the ground and
near the plant. From these eggs, the
little white maggots are Matched, which
cause the injuries. In about three
weeks the maggots mature and trans
form to pupae, and later another brood
of flies appears.

Agricultural Lore

orchards were greatly affected with
scab, and every common-sense apple
grower very well knows that if his or
chard is full of scab in any one year
that it is not possible to expect crop
the following season. The scab is one
of the worst enemies the orchardist
has to fight. Like all other evils, it
can in time be overcome, but re-
uuires the most earnest and persistent
effort in the proper way OF spraying.
The best way to get along with scab-
is not to have it in the orchard, ard
here is where the old adage, IAN ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" is readil demonstrated. BY
giving proper attention at the proper
time, with proper ingredients for spray
ing. the scab can be prevented.
In conclusion, it may be estimated
that the apple crop at present in the
middle states may be placed at some
where near half an average. The Mis-
souri, horticultural society claims that
it's state will have full half crop which
VIII mean great supply VI dpplcS,
probably sufficient for the needs of the
market The apple grower, therefore,
should not make the mistake of hold
ing his apples for high prices, and the
buyer should not make the mistake Of
being too eager to hold extra large
quantities and reap the financial loss
that fell heavily on many apple deal
ers during the season of 1923.

Value Of Shading Crops.

Shading crops to promote early ripen-
ing or to improve quality is a practice
considerably advocated of late. Some
have reported excellent results in shad-
ing strawberries and the crop is one
which might seem we'll adapted to the
practice; since the plants can be shad-
ed quite easily, the returns are large
from small areas, and the prices are
much Influenced by earliness and quail
ity. However, two years testing
by the New York agricultural expert
ment station, in two localities. speaks
strongly against the practice Except
on two varieties, which are known as
good forcing berries, there was very
little incease in yield, the time of
ripening was not appreciably in
fluenced, and the quality, except as to
size, was unfavorably affected. The
practice may possibly be of advan-
tage where large berries are demanded
and paid for by the market; but the ex-
pense more than counterbalances any
advantage of the shading in general
field culture

The Japanese Girl.

The life of a Japanese girl, in spite
of the Decentralization that is de-
manded of her, is fun of delicate inter
est. 1t is true. she does not get any
of the uproarious fun that the English
young ladies delight in. 1t is very
doubtful whether she would enjoy
boisterous merrymaking if she could
get it. But she has pleasures of her
own. and she asks for no more. She
is often poet. and nearly always
takes keen delight in the poetry of

to declare that they ''can't stand poet.
ry." A Japanese girl adores it, and
this is all the more curious as until
quite recently there was no real poetry
in japanese literature.

TOBACCO in Paraguay.

According 10 a consular report On
the trade and commerce of the repub-
tic Of Paraguay, considerable efforts
have been made of late years to i'm
prove the quality and method of pre-
pairing Paraguayan tobacco. and it
would seem that these efforts have
met with certain measure of success.
The principal market for this tobacco
lis Bremen, where, during the year
under review, 12,202 bales. weighing
1,159 tons, were sold at prices varying
from five to six cents a pound. At
tempts are being made ! introduce
Paraguayan tobacco in other European
markets, and the French government

Danger of Overstockinq.

One barrier to success is having
more stock than can be kept to the
best advantage. Pastures are easily
overstocked. A closely grazed portion
may furnish a bit of sweeter grass per-
haps than where grass is going to.
seed, but in the closely-eaten pasture
cattle are spending their time in ram
bling about to get their fill, while in
the other much less time is spent in
travel and more in rest and rumina-
ton, says Farm, Stock and Home. No
grazing animal will eat grass where
another of its kind has recently trod.
And none are so particular in this re
gard as sheep. Smaller herds and
fiocks will almost invariably bring
larger per cent. return than large ones.
And every one should be able. from his
own experience, to determine where
the limit is. The story is told of the
man with five cows, one of which died,
and he continued to give those remain
ing the amount Of food formerly given
to the five. He was surprised to dis
cover that the four yielded as coed re-
turns as the five had. He then sold
one and gave the three all the feed,
and yet received the same return in
product. To carry this illustration
further would be entering the realm of
fiction, but with many, many farmers
the situation outlined would be zorro
borated by personal experience. The
village COW is case in point

Estimates now being prepared at
the Postoffice Department showing
the probable cost OF maintaining the
rural free delivery service during the
fiscal year 1905-l906, and upon which
the appropriations made at the COM
ing session of Congress will be based,
indicate that the delivery in operation
at the end OF next June will cost about
S20.000.00O year to maintain. II is
stated that In order that the service
may be extended In conformity with
the present plans of the department
and what are believed to be the
wishes OF both houses of Congress. an
additional sum OF $4,000. 900 will be
necessary. The present plans contem-
plate gradual and reasonable ad-
vance in the expenditures each year
until the grand total OF $4,000. 900 is
reached. 1t is believed that eventually
practically the entire country can be

could the money be more advantage

The troubles of Charles Heinz of
Creole. Colorado. and the little noun
tain goat which he picked up one day
near his ranch. are now settled. This
fact is great relief to the goat and
Mr.. Heinz and the Worlds Fair Board
of Colorado. particularly the latter, as
that institution caused the trouble.
A few months ago Mr. Heinz discov-
cred little goat in the mountains
near Creole. The animal had fallen
somehow from the cliffs above and
injured its nose. Mr.. Heinz became
moved with sympathy and took the
animal home to raise as a pet.
Time passed and the goat matured
to n size which enabled it to butt
into the public eye with considerable
ease. In the course of time the
Worlds Fair board learned of its ex-
istence and made known its desire
to send the goat to the exposition. To
this Mr.. Heinz acquiesced, little
dreaming of the trouble that was to
follow.
The goat was shipped to Denver to
be turned over to the Worlds Fair
board. When 1t arrived here one of
the ubiquitous wardens of the game
commissioners office discovered it and
seized Mr.. Goat. The animal was after
ward turned over to the city park au-
thorities and has been there ever
since.
Yesterday Register Mark Woodruff
of the State Land Board succeeded In
procuring park license for Mr.. heinz
for Antler's park, which the Creole
gentleman owns. The goat, therefore,
can be kept in the park and will be
forwarded there Immediately from the
