In all sections of the state ofHIllinols
where orchard fruits are grownEmay be
found fruits that are more orsless de
faced by deformities, by curiously
made surface cuts and by small cylin-

found upon plums, peaches, apples and
less commonly npon pears and ounces.
The same marks are common on fruits
of the wild plum, wild crab apple and
Of the red fruited hawthorn.
The insects responsible for the in

species feed upon and breed in the APP

that does the greater damage.
The primary cause Of serious injury

OIL IN FLAX.
Difference In the Contents of Light
and Dark E1axseeds.

Difference Ia the Contents of Light
and Dark E1Rxseeds.
An investigation was undertaken at
the Minnesota experiment station at
the request Of a member Of the state
board Of grain appeals to determine
the difference in the oil contents Of
dark and light colored fiaxseeds.
In many samples of sound and fully
matured fax light brown and dark
brown seeds are distinguishable In
size. weight and other physical char
acteristics the seeds are alike, and it
was desired to learn whether there
wns any difference In the oil content
or in the chemical composition OF the
OH from the two types OF seed.
The dark brown seeds examined
were fouSd to contain about / per cent
more oil than the light brown seeds.
This Is not a large difference when 1t
Is recalled that the oil content I'm fax
seed may range from 81 TO 80 per cent.
Both the light and dark brown fax
seeds contained the average amount OF
oil, with a slight difference In favor
Of the dark brown seeds No appre-
ciable difference was found in the
protein content OF the flaxseeds ex
amined.
Under test no difference was obsery-
ed in the terminating powers Of the
dark and light brown nGxseeds, indl-
eating that as far as power to germi.
nate is concerned both types are equal
~ sound.
The oils extracted from three types
OF seed were subjected to the iodine
absorption test, and no large differ
ence was found between yellow, dark
brown and light brown fiGxseeds.
AS far as oil content, general chem
icaI composition, terminating powers
and properties are concerned no APP
probable difference was observed b.
tween light brown and dark brown
daxseeas.

CORN sILAGE.
Ia MffE Making and Steer Feeding.
Midsummer BENEFITS.

Midsummer Benefits.
Making corn into silage is means
Of preserving the grain, as well as the
stalk, In the best possible condition for
feeding and without the expense of
Smelling and grinding, says WILDER J.
Fraser, chief in dairy husbandry at
the Illinois experiment station. In
feeding whole corn, either in the ear
or shelled, many OF the kernels are not
digested. With silage, the grain be-
ing eaten with the roughage, nearly all
the kernels are broken during masti-
cation and, since they are somewhat
soft, are practically ell digested.
BY the use of the silo the corn is re-
moved from the field at a time when
no injury is done the land by cutting
il I'D while soft AS the corn Is cut
before the blades are dry enough TO
shatter, there is no waste from wealth
erirg, and both stalk and grain being
in good condition the whole crop is
consumed by the stock, while with dry
shock corn a large percentage Of the
leaves and butts of the stalk Is wasted.
Being a succuient feed, corn silage
tends To heavy milk production and
should be given an important place in
the ration of dairy cows. 1t has
proved an important factor In steer
feeding as well as In milk production,
but a steer cannot be finished on silage
alone, any more than COW can pro
duce her best yield of milk on such a
ration.
In Midsummer.
A pasture will carry much more
stock during spring, early summer and
fall than it will through the hot, dry
weather of midsummer. BY helping
the pasture out at this season with
partial soiling the cattle not only have
better feed during this critical period.
but more stock can be carried on a
given area than by pasturlng alone.
Mr.. Fraser also remarks In balletin
1o1, from which these points on the
silo are taken. that as land Increases in
value and farming becomes mere ir.-
tensive there is greater need for soil
ing, and the most satisfactory method
Of providing a substitute is by means
OF the sllo. 1t requires too much labor
To cut green crops every day and haul
them to the cows, and, besides, there
is necessarily great loss in being
obliged TO feed the crops before they
are fully mature and after they are
overripe.
Mr.. Fraser concludes that no crop
furnishes more feed 10 the acre than
corn, and with the silo 1t can be uti-
lized for soIling, thus permitting the
whole crop TO be harvested when at
the right stage OF maturity and fed
when needed. saving both feed and
labor

such orchards may be invaded by cur

1t seems possible to attack the cur

First by spraying with arsenical

Of the insect only.
Second by destruction of fallen

the egg and larva stages Of the insect.
All fallen fruit must be taken into
account, not only the larger fruits that
fall In late summer, but more partie-
ularly the small apples that fail In
June and early July. The early fallen
fruit is usually ignored, but is really
more important from the standpoint Of
