boundaries do not, of course. mark the
absolute limits of clover culture, and it
is almost unnecessary to say that there
are large tracts within this so called
clover region where attempts to grow
red clover are not attended with sue
cess. Furthermore excellent growth
is obtained in few regions immedi-
ately adjoining this area, and there are
also several sections wholly separated
from ii where clover is grown with
notable success. Among the latter
may be mentioned the Willamette val
ley OF Oregon, the Palouse country In
eastern Washington and also the Cal
latin valley OF Montana. where red
clover is being successfully and profit
ably grown under Irrigation.
Red clover. on account OF its great
value as a forage plant and because
OF its power of renewing and maintain

the most important crop plants OF mod

Well Kent Premises.

Under this head are To he included
a number OF operations of seemingly
minor Importance to an active farmer
ana therefore more often overlooked
or neglected. Their Importance from
the standpoint of injurious insects is
much greater than is generally sup
posed and il is indeed difficult TO com
pute the consequent losses. For in
stance. Il destructive invasion of chinch
bugs i'm n wheattield in spring has
been traced to shocks of corn that had
been allowed ia stand ont over winter,
the wheat having been sown among
corn in the fail In precisely the
same way outbreaks Of the same in
scots in Iowa have been traced directly
to Usage orange hedges and the usual
growth OF matted grass and weeds
that are often found in connection with
them. 1t is just such places as these
that attract the bugs in fall and where

the cultivated grains in spring to breed

THE BIN WEEvIL.
a Remedy For Destroying All Forms
of Insect Life.


Ia the case Of wheat that has been
put In the bin when little damp and
has subsequently been found To be In
tested by grain weevil the following
treatment Is given in Ohio Farmer:
The best remedy against all forms OF
weevi in grain is blsulphlde of car
bon. At your drug store procure the
cheapest grade of this chemical. get
ting one pound for every 1000 cubic
feet of space In the pin. The space Is
the cubic contents of the bin regard
less of whether it is filled with grain
or not If the granary is not practical
ly air tight it will be necessary to
close the cracks by lacking building
paper or blankets over them. Doors
may be closed I'm the same manner.
Care In Fumigating.
Pour. the liquid bisulphide into shall
low dishes holding about Il half pint
each and set on top of the grain. The
fumes OF this liquid are heavier than
air and sink down through the grain,
destroying all forms of insect life.
Keep the bin closed for thirty-sX
hours, after which it may be opened
and aired. Bisulphide of carbon Is
very inflammable, and no light of any
kind such as a lighted lantern or cigar,
should be brought into the neighbor-
hood of the bin while fumigation is in
progress: otherwise a disastrous eX-
plosion and conflagration are likely TO
follow.
Does Not Injure the Grain.
This treatment does not injure the
grain for feeding or milking purposes.
If the granary is In the barn in which
live stock is kept the stock should be
removed from the barn until the fu-
migafion Is completed But If the
stock is ut considerable distance
from the bin 1t may be safe to allow
them TO remain. provided the windows
and doors are left open. so as to insure
continuous current of fresh air. 1t
may be necessary to repeat this fumi-
cation two or three times at intervals
Of six weeks or two months until the
wecvils are destroyed. The heating of
the grain is brought about. in part at
least, by the presence of the weevils,
and this I'm turn accentuates the de-
velopment OF the weevll. Bins should
he thoroughly cleaned Of all old grain
before the new harvest is put away,
and If the weevi seems abundant 1t Is
best to fumigate the bin before the
grain is put in.-H. A. Gossard, Ento-
mologist Ohio Experiment Station.

A Year of Blood.

The year 1908 will long be remem-
bered in the home of F. ~ Jacket,
of Alliance, KY, as year of blood;
which flowed so copiously from Mr..
Jackets lungs that death seemed very
near. He writes: Severe bleeding
from the lungs and frightful cough
had brought me at deaths door, when
began taking DR. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, with the as
tonishing result that after taking four
bottles I was completely restored and

CORN CROP OF 1906.
Amount Used For Early Feeding he
fore Cribbing.

The 1906 corn crop is the largest ever
raised. being within calling distance OF
tire S3.OO000O.O00 mark. The yield
throughout the United States is esti-
mated at 800 bushels, which Is prac-
tically one bushe and a half more
than last year and five bushels above
the ten year average.
In the seven largest corn producing
states the crop is 55,000,0O0 bushels
larger than IL was In 1903. AS the
farm reserves of corn on Nov. this
year amounted TO 37.500000 bushels
more than a year ago. ii means that
there is now in the country something
like 100000. coo bushels more than last
year at tha same date. This no doubt
accounts for the ) or cents difference
in the market in favor of 1905 as com
pared with 1906.
In spite of the fact that there are
found in the hands of farmers 1900
600 bushels more than last year. at the
same time we believe there is another
factor that does not enter into compu-
tation in the governments report We
refer TO the amount that is used out of
the crop before cribbing time. In our
recollection we have never known feed
ing TO start earlier and we have never
seen Il larger acreage fed either I'm the
form of snapped corn or foddering off
than was the case this year Plenty
of farms in the corn belt fed from 10
TO 20 per cent of the crop before Nov.
/. or course. in most OF the cases this
was utilized for hogs. the aim being
as Il general thing TO lit hogs early for
market this year on account Of brisk
prices. 1t may mean less consumption
later but We expect that the ICING into
effect OF tbs dcnatured alcohol bill will
keep mp the demand after the hogs are
sent 10 marset-IOwa Homestead
