A proper way of preparing this waste
or refuse is to steam or bake It quite
thoroughly. thus eliminating any Of
fensive odor, and mix it with the
daily mash of corn or oatmeal or
middlings. 1t will take the place OF
a meat diet. but should not be fed

No doubt you are paying too much

that kind OF back stunt until you

This insect is considered by some t
be the most destructive orchard pes
we have. CHASING it with the codlinl
moth 1t passes the winter in tn,
adult stage, and in early spring be
gins feeding upon the buds ant
leaves Of plum. apple, peach, pear ant
other trees. When the young fruit
has attained some size, the bettl,
makes a crescent shaped slit in it
and in this lays an egg. In a few
days the egg hatches into a small
whitish larva, or grub. which bore,
its way to the seed. In case Of the
plum, peach, apricot and cherry mos
Of the infested fruit falls, in the
plum practically all. Apples anc
pears do not drop from the effect OF
this insect, but If they should droI
from some other cause, then the cur.
culio larva will mature. The larva
reaches maturity about midsummer,
leaves the fruit and goes beneath the
ground to pupate. or change into the
pupal or resting stage, from which
1t transforms, short time after, tc
the adult or beetle stage
There are many opinions as to the
preventative measure for this insect
The Earring method will do a great
deal of good here The use of poi.
sons is. however, to be recommended.
Apples and pears may be sprayed
with the usual strength Of Paris

cellent plan to add the Paris green
to Bordeaux mixture when the lat
ter is being used as a fungicide.-

Growing kfillet.

We have, at various times, recon-
mended the growing of millet as a
hay crop. If the seed is sown thick
ly on good soil, 1t makes an astonish-
ing growth, three to four tons Of hay
being not uncommon yield. 1t
should be cut before the seed ma
lures. The Indiana Farmer says Of
It:
This crop requires finely pulver-
lied. rich, warm soil for best success.
The seed are small, and the more
thoroughly the ground is narrowed
and rolled the larger the proportion
Of them that will germinate. Sow
about the middle Of June when the
ground is arm, just before rain II
possible. The German is our most
productive variety, as was zen in the
experiment plot at State Fair grounds
last summer.
If sown for hay, sow five pecks to
the acre broadcast; if for seed, SOW
in drills, one peck to the acre. If
ground is good, the yield should be
from two to three tons per acre. If
hay is wanted, cut before the seeds
begin to ripen. Millet is the crop for
a dry summer, for it resists drouth
well. but it is hard on the soil, being
very exhaustive of fertility.
Horses and cattle are very fond Of
It when cut early, and it is excellent
feed, and not injurious, but becomes
harmful If left till the seed mature.
