When manure is taken fresh from
the stable or horse or COW lot and
spread on the fields in fall or winter,
the greatest possible advantage Is
realized therefrom. The soluble con-
stituents are in such cases leached
out by the rains and Incorporated with
the soil and are in conditions to
promptly administer to the wants of
the crops as soon as the crops need
plant food. The same manure, left
until just before planting, will have
the most valuable food leached out;
or IL thrown in heaps will have the
nitrogen dissipated by the process of
slow CONFUSION, which follows the
fermentation of the mass. "Well-rot-
ted manure" means manure the vir.
tues of which are chiefly spent. The
writer has had manure heaps that &C.
cumulated during summer reduced to
ashes, except a thin outside layer OK
posed to the air and rain, Such ma
nure is of very little value where

When cotton picking ends is an ap-
propriate time to put the farm in good
repair for the active work of early
spring. Fences, gates, barn doors and
other appliances and conveniences
may have gone crazy" roofs may
need patching; the mud holes in the
lane may need a few loads of broken
stone, and there may be some fence
posts that need to be replaced with
new ones When this is done a little
mechanical skill may be exercised
about the dwelling providing labor,
saving contrivances and ordinary con-
v~eniences for those whose labors new
err end, A condition of things that
leaves the farmer nothing to do is al
ways imaginary, If there is no work
imperative there Is always something
useful that may be done.-Farm and

THE COTTON BOIL WORM.
Some Facts In Relation to the Cot
ton Boil Worm and Methods
for Combating II.

The boil worm passes through four
distinct stages Of its life. The entire
damage done by the insect is while it
is in the grown state, The color of the
worm varies much. 1t ranges from red
TO black and blue to green. After the
boil worm is full grown 1t enters the
soil and forms a cell underneath the
surface, and there becomes a pupil.
The moth scratches its way out of the
ground. Wet weather is more favor
able to the worm than is dry weather.
The moth or miller Is the last stage
Of the worm. VI deposits the eggs. The
moths winter in the pupil stage under
ground. They come out and feed upon
the tender roll of the corr plant. The
injury to the corn is very little in this
way. The boil worm Is not common
ly associated with the destruction of
corn, but the damage is very consid.
erabIe in the aggregate. The various
broods feed on the soft roll, the tassel,
silk and soft kernels of the corn.
The boil worn enjoys a worldwide
circulation. In this country it is an
enemy to the tomato, Beans, peas and
other similar plants are prey 10 the
boil worm. In Japan it eats tobacco,
In cotton. one boil worm will. in the
course of its life, destroy IS or more
bolls and innumerable squares. All
parts of the cotton plant are attacked
by the worm. preference being given To
tho boil. The effect upon the boil IN
various, frequently but one lock of the
boil being destroyed by the worm. The
boil worm moth hides during the day
in trash and among the foliage of the
cotton plant. There are other moths
a very similar to the methods
of the boil worm. The boil worm has
numerous drawbacks, including disease
and predatory insects. The most fatal
is a bacterial disease that destroys a
great many of them. The China fly is
also fatal to the worm. The fly lays
its eggs upon the skin of the worm.
The eggs hatcaes and p|enetrates the
moth, killing il, Spiders and flies are
also fatal enemies of the boil worm.
The department has three plans for
combating the boil worm. The trap
crop Of corn is one Of these. The boil
worm prefers corn to cotton. Corn
kept in proper condition close to the
cotton field is a good trap crop. The
value Of the trap crop of corn was well
illustrated by the number of boil worm
eggs found upon corn. These eggs
would have gone to the cotton had the
corn not been there. The theory of
poisoning the boil worn arises from
the fact that the young boil worm
crawls over the foliage and feeds. The
poison there will kill a number of the
worms. If the poisoning be done at
the right time, the saving may be as
much as so per aent.-A. l.. Quintance,
