FILLING Squash Bugs.

This is one of the most trouble
some insects with which the vine
grower has to contend and is diff
cult to handle. Some melon grow
ers plant an occasional hill of
SQUASH with which to feed these
bugs and thus attract them from
the melon vines. Here they are
hand picked and the squash vines
kept alive for a trap. Placing
a single or piece of board near
the hills for a nigh shelter for
the bugs enables one to gather
them quickly is recommended.
Covering the vines with cotton or
a box covered with muslin is a
good remedy. Powdered char
coal or air slaked lime is used,
sprinkled on the leaves. One
successful grower relies on land
plaster or oyster shell lime, which
may be busted upon the vines
through small fine sieve while
they are wet with dew or rain;
to beapplied as soon as the young
plants are up. Mr.. Gregory says
the air slaked stove lime is apt
to be too strong and would injure
the plants. Farmers Guide.

japanese Reticence.

One of the most remarkable feat
ures of the war with Russia has
been the wonderful success which
has attended Jasanese endeavors
to keep their own council and pre-
vent any knowledge from reach
ing the outside world. All bell
igerents try to do this, but the
necessity of intrusting secrets to
a number of persons, some of
whom are apt to be imprudent,
renders it an extremely difficult
task. The japanese have not
only aimed at secrecy, but they
have accomplished it to a degree
never before attained by any such
nation in war.
1t is stated that Togo lay for
three months in the Tsushima
Straits, without ever changing
his plans. Rojestvensky sent
out scouts. but he never succeed
ed in ascertaining the position of
his enemy. Neither did anyone
else, who betrayed the secret.
The diligent. news gatherers pur-
suing their vocation under unwon-
ted difficulties and lending a will
ing ear to ever scrap that seemed
like news, placed him from time
to time in various places, but they
never were able to penetrate the
secret of Togo's whereabouts.
No hint of his plans was ever
obtained, and the Russians were
completely in the dark with re-
gard to them. To this single cir
cumstance much of the credit of
his over whelming victory must
be attributed.
To deceive the enemy is half of
the success of war, and to that
end he must be kept in the dark
as to the actual situation. The
means by which the japanese
have accomplished this are well
worthy of the study of those who
desire to earnl how a war should
be carried on.-Courier Journal

Hog Notes.

No matter at what season the
sows are due to farrow care should
be taken to provide them with
dry, clean quarters to themselves.
AS a rule, after a SOW farrows
she should not be disturbed in
any way until she gets up OF her
own accord, when she may be
given bucket of slop.
An abundance of milk for the
first eight or ten weeks OF the
young pigs existence, is the best
preparation they can have to fit
them for profitable growth after
wards.
There is no better feed for
young pigs after they have learn
ed to eat than good oats. If they
can be ground and made into ia
slop with sweet skin milk all the
better.
The cheapest growth with

them the run of a good clover

Saddle Horses Scarce.

L. B. Shropshire, writing in the
Kentucky Farmer and Breeder,
says: Never in the history of
our country has there been such
a shortage of saddle an d
carriage horses in the market as
to this day. In New York the
past season it has been impossible
to supply the demand. The pub
lie sales have been attended by
more buyers than ever before.
At these sales the bidding was
usually strong and the demand
for high-class horses was never
so great. In fact the condition
has become so alarming that many
city horsemen are already predict
ing a famine of fancy and bust
ness horses in the near future,
and there seems to be little likeli-
hood of western shippers being
able to cope with the demand.
Throughout the state of Kentucky
dealers with perfect unanimity
state that they have never known
horses to be so scarce, and what
is still more deplorable, they re.
port that the supply Of young
horses coming on is insufficient
to meet the demands even in or
binary times.

Rotation of Crops in the Garden.

cry year of most varieties, except
onions, says correspondent OF
Practical Farmer. Those | have
kept in one location year in and
year out for a long time, and new
er fail having good crops. One
third of the patch is sown each
year to clover or SOLO beans, and
plowed under each spring to sup
ply humus to the soil. In conclu-
sion I wish to say that thorough
cultivation is absolutely essential
to a successful garden. By all
means keep the w e e d S down.
Stir the ground often. Don't let
ground become encrusted.
And the editor adds this: 1t is a
commendable practice to gi e
one part of the garden each year
thorough cleansing and renewal
by growing a crop Of clover, COW
peas, vetch, soy beans, or any
thing that can be utilized for the
purpose. Cow pease,, soy beans,
or crimson clover come very handy
for this purpose. Even common
mammoth red clover will do very
well. 1t can be sown in the
spring, and will give a good coat
to pillow down the next spring. Ii
plowed late and we'll lined before
blowing, it will give a nice, rich
clean soil. If my garden were
large enough, l would use only
one-half of it every year, putting
the other half in clover a n {

The wheat Crop.

A Chicago correspondent of the
New York Herald has made a
careful estimate of t h e wheat
crop of 1905, which he thinks the
largest since 1901.
The winter wheat crop in four
teen States is estimated at 348-
100000 bushels. To Kansas is
assigned rs, 900, 600, to Nebraska
100000, and to Missouri $1,000
600 bushels, these three being
the largest producers. To Ken
lucky is assigned 10, 900, 900 BUSH
els. The total winter crop in all
the States is put at All, 900, 600
bushels.
The spring wheat crop is invol-
we'd in more uncertainty, because
harvest is further away, but on
the basis of the present condition
it is figured at $4,000, 900 BUSH
els. Adding the two together
we get a grand total of $40, OO0,-
600 bushels. This gives the larg-
est crop since 1901, when the fig
ures were 748, 46O,218 bushels.
The correspondent says t h e
farmers throughout the central
part of Kentucky are we'll agreed
that the State will have better
crop than it had last year-"the
best yield per acre in decade. !"
A Fayette county farmer is quot
ed as saying that this viii be
Kentucky's b amer year for
wheat.
The amount of a crop in the
United States is never a subject
upon which the makers of esti-
mates can agree. The Herald"
figures appear, however to have
been compiled with care. Cour-

Mule Industry.

MANY farmers are not aware
that mules sell at an average OF
$40 or more than horses, but such
is the case in the great wholesale
markets. The popularity a n d
price of mules have steadily i'm
proved for several years, u n t i |
t ere is greater profit in the
mule than the'h or S e industry.
The prejudice against mules in
many localities h a S prevented
the overstocking of the market
and the prices have steadily ad-
vanced for the past decade, says
Drover's Journal.
Mules have proved invaluable
in war, as their hardness and,
adoption to all, climates m a k e
them desirable for transportation
service. England bought many
thousands of mules during t h e

A Valuable New Dat.

Kherson oats promises to be-
come an important forage and
stock feeding crop in many Sec
tons of the country, since some
what extensive trials made with
it since it's introduction by the
Department of Agriculture have
demonstrated not only heavy
yields, but exceptionally good re-
turns under conditions of drouth.
A very important feature of the
work of the experiment stations
throughout the country is the in
PRODUCTION of new crops, and
many valuable additions have thus
been made to the list of plants
which country is capable of pro-
ducing. The Kherson oats were
brought from Russia in 1896.
They have been pretty we'll tested
by the Nebraska station as to
their adaptability to the corn belt
of the United States. An adj
vance proof of the experiment
station work Of the Department
of Agriculture says of this prom
Using forage crop:
'The climatic conditions most
favorable to the growth of oats
do not usually obtain in the corn
belt, and it has been difficult to
find a variety of oats well adapt
ed to this region. 1t is curious
fact that, although the great corn
producing States are likewise the
largest producers of oats, they
are not States in which the yield
per acre is high.
1.-The Kherson Oat is a vigorous
but not rank grower. The straw
is short, but leaves are broad and
expose a large surface. The ber-
ries are light yellow in color and
have a very thin hull. 1t usually
weighs we'll per bushel and ma
lures very early. In the dry sea-
son of 1901 it showed remarkable
drouth-resisting qualities.
The Kherson oat is stated to be
a very heavy yielder, and the in
dications are that in introducing
this oat a great service has been
rendered not only to the middle
west, where the rainfall is scant.
but to other sections where drouth
frequently cuts down the oat
yield.

The history of the experiments that

diately of the results of these expert
mcnts and by applying them on Il large
scale proved that the Oat smut could be
