Insects Fatal to Corn.
As millions Of dollars are lost an
nually through insects injurious to
corn, better knowledge Of the sub
Ject seems almost imperative. 1t
would pay to devote careful study to
the habits Of corn insects, and to those
who wish to do so it is suggested
that they write to the State Agricul-
tural College Of Illinois at Urbana for
a free copy Of Bulletin No. 95, which
contains "a full description of all the
insects in question and many valuable
suggestions.
In discussing the effects Of insects
and the general remedies that may be
applied, the bulletin says:
with few exceptions, the effects Of
injury to corn by insects where they
do not amount to a total distinction
of the plant may be compared to the
effects of simple starvation. Anything
which lessons the store of food laid
up in the corn kernel for use in germi-
nation and early growth, or damages
seriously the roots or the leaves, or
draws away the sap before it has
served its purpose in the plant prac.
tically amounts to the diminution OF
the available food supply. An i'm.
poverished soil, very dry weather, the
Gaping of cells and vessels Of the
plant by sucking insects, or destruc
ton of any considerable part of its
roots have consequences which may
be c1assed as starvation effects.
"In view of these facts, it follows
that any management which helps tt
maintain and strengthen the plant by
furnishing it better or more abundan
food will lessen or perhaps wholly
prevent losses from insect injury
which must otherwise be serious o.
complete. A strong, rich soil, wei
cultivated, watered and drained, ma,
grow a good crop notwithstanding al
amount of infestation by chinch bugs
root lice, root worms and white grub
which would be fatal on poor land.
1.-The good corn farmer may thus es
cape with a profitable yield under in
sect attacks which will leave his les
intelligent or less careful brother Il
. debt after his crop is harvested. Thi
is not merely because the v1gorou
, plant will easily support an amour

How Farmer Glover Fed Flock Day
After Day for Six Weeks.

How Farmer Glover Fed Flock Day
After Day for Six Weeks.
One cold morning Farmer Glover
stood in the rear Of the barn, fork in
hand, looking out over the fields. Snow
storm had followed snowstorm, until
the stone walls were so covered that
the farm seemed Hike great field, with
here and there small grove to break
the monotony. The cattle had been
fed and each animal was munching
contentedly at its pile Of hay In the
sunshine, scattering chaff over the
snowy barnyard.
Suddenly, from the light woods near
the barn, came startled "Bob-whitew
Immediately there was an answering
call from the woods across the fields,
and then another and another, and
soon flock Of about twenty quail
alighted cautiously on the ground, two
or three rods from where Mr.. Glover
stood, and began picking up the seeds
from the hay which the cattle had
strewn over the snow. They scratched
about like flock Of hens, and appar-
emily quite as much at home, and
chirped away while they worked, after
the fashion Of tree sparrows in the
weeds down by the brook.
Farmer Glover was careful not to
frighten his woodland guests, and the
| next morning he put out wheat for
them and threw handfuls of chaff in
the hay which the cattle had left. The
flock returned again and again, until
| feeding the quails has become as much
a part Of the days routine as looking
after the hens and turkeys. One cold
morning after they had eaten, the
kind-hearted farmer found the whole
flock huddled together under the hay
| apparently enjoying the warmth
Strange to say, they never come fol
their food when 1t SHOWS or rains
When they have breakfasted, unless
frightened, they usually walk away tc
their favorite haunts In the grove
across the fields. They never aligh1
on the trees, but occasionally perch OF
| the rail fence. Once or twice, wheI
no one was in sight, they came neal
the house.
/ For six weeks the quails enjoyet
Farmer Glover's bounty. When sprini
opens their kind-hearted protector
meets them only in the fields ant

sical call comes over the summe

Commercial Fertilizers.

There Is probably more quibbling
over fertilizer prices than anything
else that farmer buys. Unquestion-
ably the cheapest way of buying fer
tilizers is to buy the several materials
and do the mixing on the barn floor,
but assuming this is not done, then
one should make it point to see that
they buy the fertilizer which will give
them the greatest amount Of the plant
which means, of course, at the lowest
price. For example, If ton Of the
fertilizer, according to the analysis,
contains 6 per cent Of potash Tor any
other plant food may be figured on the
same basis, this means 120 pounds of
potash to the ton.
If another fertilizer contains II per
cent, or 24O pounds to the ton, the lat.
ter is cheaper than the first by exact
ly the number Of cents it costs less
than double the first. Reducing it to
pounds, If one costs cents pound
and the other 9, the last is the cheap
est, if you get it at the rate a pound
for the bulk If you want potash, and
pay $50 for ton of fertilizer contain
ing 12O pounds Of potash, it is cheaper
to pay $3S for a ton of fertilizer con
tanning 24O pounds Of potash.
The same plan Of figuring works
through all the fertilizer bought, sc
that it is easy to see that fertilizer
cheap in price Is not always cheal
| when results are figured out. The mere
| matter Of bulk has nothing to do will
the case. 1t might as well be sawdus
if it does not contain the element.

The yields of thirty three of the

by a German experimenter, and the
experiments briefly described. The
cylindrical shaped varieties yielded the
largest quantities of beets, the small

beets, a very high yield of leaves, and
ranked first in sugar content. The

one will suffer or succumb. It is an
established fact that many insects
themselves will not thrive as well or
multiply as rapidly on vigorous,
quickly growing plant as on one in
feeble condition.
More special measures are proper
rotation of crops, such that'co will
not be exposed to insects which have
bred on the same ground the preced-
ing year, either in other crops or in
the corn itself; timely plowing to
forestall the breeding Of insects by
destroying them or their food; timely
planting with reference to the period

Butter Washed in Skim Milk.

Instead of using water for washing
butter, an English dairyman, F. J.
Lloyd, used separator skim milk which
had been twice pasteurized. Salted
and unsalted samples prepared in this
manner contained, respectively, 11.35
and lila per cent of water, the for
mer containing only one-fifth as many
bacteria. Mr.. Lloyd considers that
the results are sufficiently interesting
to warrant his calling the attention Of
buttermakers who have a poor water
supply to this simple method of over
coming the difficulty, and states that
the experiments are being repeated at
