In command of French frigate, Je-

Take the Insects In Time


The time to begin the fight against
insects is before they appear. That
is, 1t is safest to treat the plants that
may be affected as is they were al
ready affected. We used to have
thriving plantation Of currant bushes.
There were eight rows and each row
was about thirty feet long. We .-ere
careful to manure the ground ell and
spade it up every season. during the
growing season we hoed the ground
over whenever there was a sign OF
weeds coming up.
The result was that we obtained a
very good crop OF currants each year,
and 1t was always delight to pick
them, they hung in such large clus-
tiers. From this currant patch came
jars of currant preserves and numer-
GUS glasses of currant jelly for the
use of the family during the winter
We didn't know anything about the
imported currant worm or the i'm
ported currant borer, and II we had
we might have saved that currant
plantation. One year we found the
leaves covered with the currant worms
which we now know to be the iil-
ported currant worms. With them
must have been also many individuals
of the imported currant borer family,
though we did not notice the differ
ence at the time. The imported cur
rant worm feeds on the leaves, while
the maggot Matching from the egg of
the imported currant borer at once
burrows into the stem and kills 1t, by
eating the pith. Had we sprayed the
brshes with hellebore in the spring
and repeated it once or twice We
would have caught both insects. Or,
had we sprayed with the same poison
for the imported currant worm when
it appeared, we would have caught not
only it but the borers.
AS it was we did not take the trou.
BILE to buy hellebore and spray, but
and picked off the most numerous
colonies of currant worms. We saved
part of the foliage and supposed That
the battle was won, but in this we
were mistaken, for while we were
fighting the visible enemy on the
outer works, the sappers and miners
were busy tunneling under the fortifi.
cations, so to speak.
The next spring every stalk on
every bush was dead, and an exami-
nation showed that each stalk had its
pith partly eaten out. That was the
end of the plantation, to our regret.
The lesson was a costly one, but 1t
is one that we are not likely to forget.
We have been impressed with the
fact that it is rather late to spray for
insects after they begin to swarm on
the bushes by the thousands.-Mary

Michigan is not considered O dairy

census, there arc in that state 14,1lG
farms deriving their chief income

makes an average Of little over
five cows to a farm. The number of

Registered for Performance.

In the Island of Jersey COW is not
registered because her parents WEI
registered, but because of her own
performance at the pail. A COW must
reach certain standard before she
becomes eligible. This is very good
practice to follow inside a breed. II
could not be safely followed outside
of breed, as it would necessarily set
aside the principle of prepotency as It
is represented in the established
breeds. Registering for performance
is very effective method of squirting
on the improving of any breed. The
line breeding merely gives us more
cows of the same breed, but does not
improve the breed except to fix its
qualities. BY registering for perform.
ance we place value on increased
performance.

Just before the last total eclipse of
the sun, Percival Lowell. the astron-
omer, told an old negro acquaintance
that If he would watch the chickens at
his place the next day he would see
them go to roost at eleven o'clock in
the morning. The negro was plainly
skeptical--in fact, looked upon the
prophecy as good joke. But when
the event came to pass as the astron-
omer had said 1t would, the darkey
was not only puzzled but decidedly
impressed. How long, sab. did you
know bout dis?" he asked the astron-
omer. ooh, long time" did you
know dey would go to roost a yea,
ago?" yes; fully year ago."
well, dat beats ALL" said George, in

side" 1t has been a long time since
the lambs gamboled on some of our

of wool led the farmer to turn to the
marketing of the carcass of the wool
producing sheep, but when he tried
to do that he found the people unre.

session of most of the country. The
people that have been eating his car
cass have failed to find the wool with
their teeth or with their nostrils.
They have pronounced it good and
have asked for more. The demand
has grown till the consumption has
overtaken production aud the prices
for mutton have begun TO ascend.
Moreover, the price OF wool too has
improved, SO that between the price
of wool and the price of mutton the
sheep raiser finds himself in a happy
state of mind. The eastern farmer is
corr esponding with the producer OF
blooded rams and asking the prices
and how soon he can ship an animal.
Altogether the outlook for the sheep

Trichinae In pork Is more common
than it should be, and every farmer
that produces his own pork should be
on the outlook for 1t. 1t is not always
the pork that comes from the packing
houses that contains trichinae. Now
and then we hear of its coming from
the farms where only one or two pigs
are reared each year for food for the
family. The home-raised hog should
be entirely free from this trouble, es-
pecially If he Is kept shut up during
the entire year, as is the case with
most pigs raised singly.
Hogs that rove in the pastures get
hold Of food that produces the tri-
chinae. Thus hog that has had the
, trichinae is killed and pieces of the
flesh that have trichinae get thrown
out and are eaten by rats. The rats
die and are picked up and eaten In
the field by hogs. The hogs thus get
the trichinae. There seems to be but
one way by which trichinae get into
the muscles of animals, and that is by
the encysted insects being taken into
the stomach and being loosened from
the cysts by the action of the juices
of the stomach. A man eats a piece of
pork that has the insects encysted.
In his stomach the acids work on the
cysts and destroy them, thus letting
loose the insects, which proceed to
bore into the stomach of the man.
How pigs that are shut up in the
barn get trichinosis it is difficult to
say, unless it be by being fed the en-.
trails of other hogs that have been
killed and that had the trichinae in
their flesh. Care should then be taken
about the hogs feed, and if it does not
contain any cysts of the insects the
trouble cannot be spread. (Trichi-
nosis is the disease produced by the
presence Of trichinae)
