Ftrhtinm the BoIIyyorm.

The investigations conducted by the
United States Bureau of Entomology
during the past three years show that
by the general adoption of the several
means of control herein described loss
es fiom the bollworm may be largely
prever ted, even during years Of severe
injury
Tie fact that bollworms do not Re
come numerous In cotton until the
hardening of the early corn about Au-
gust Is the basis for the recommend
alton of certain cultural methods not
only advantageous in the presence OF
the boil worm and boil weevil, but de-
sirable practices In cotton growing re-
CARELESS of insect enemies. These
methods are as follows:
1. Thorough blowing OF the land
during the fall and winter. This oper-
alton is not only the means of destroy
ing many bollworm pupae, but is OF
Importance from an agricultural stand
point. in exposing the soil to the ac
tons of rain and frost, thus helping to
break up the constituents and render
them more readily dissolved and con-
sequently available for plant food. Fall
blowing is also a requisite for early
planting.
. The use of early frulting varie-
ties of cotton.
4. The use OF fertilizers to hasten
and increase fruit production.
8. Early and frequent chopping and
CIVILIZATIONS.
Along with the improved farm prac-
tees above outlined. the cotton crop
may be materially protected by the use
OF corr. and cowpeas as trap crop Gas
described on pages 1917. That the
greatest benefit may be derived from
the use of the trap crop system it Is
urged that each farmer In a neighbor-
hood plant at least a few acres OF
June corn and cowpeas about the 1st
OF June.
The use of arsenical poisons upon
the cotton will be found of value in
proportion to the severity Of 5ollworm
attack. Paris green is recommended
at the rate Of about three pounds per
acre, applied In the dust form. either
pure or diluted with lime or -four.
Application by either bag or pole meth
cd or by geared machinery is satlsfac-
tory. The work should be done when
the plants are moist with dew or after
light shower. Two AFFILIATIONS,
when not followed Immediately by
rains. should be sufficient: the first
should be made when the eggs begin
to hatch in numbers, usually between
July % and August 8; this may be fol-
lowed by a second in about one week
II rains follow the applications, these
should be repeated Immediately.
Destruction OF the early generations
of bollworm larvae In corn seems i'm
practicable, except in certain cases Of
isolated areas and where the accrea re
OF corn Is small compared with that Of
cotton

Students Target of Solon's Wrath.
Consideration of the Bancroft bill pro-
hibiting students of the university from
voting at Madison, unless bona fide resi-
dents of the city, led to a sensational
debate in the Assembly. Mr.. Bancroft
said that he would not send his boy to
the university under the present condi-
tions, because he would not want him to
learn the dirty game of politics. He said
that he knew that beer and whisky and
wine has been sent to leaders of student
clubs to bride voters. He charged As
semblyman John +. Baker, a law student
at the university, with having voted at
Madison and then representing north
ern district in the Assembly. Mr.. Baker.
with considerable indignation, denied that
he had voted in two places at the same
time, but admitted that in six years at
tendance at the university he had voted
at Madison at time when he considered
mis- home there. He intimated that the
bill was inspired at this time because O.
presidential club was about to be organ
lied at the university. A motion to kill
the bill was lost by vote of % to AZ
and the measure finally passed down to-
the Senate.

The Guinea Fowls.

These birds must be well known to
be appreciated. From childhood we
have had them on the farm, from so to
$50 In q flock. They are no trouble
whatever; lay their eggs In nests which
they make in the grass and wheat
fields: we often find nests with from
thirty to sevanty-five eggs pilsd on top
Of each other. From some of the nests
we take part Of the eggs and leave
some of them to raise their young. They
sit, hatch and raise their broods, and
re often do not see them until late in
she fall, when they bring their chicks
home, sometimes as many as twenty In
flock. Such chirping! Such flying
up trees The little keets look much
like cartridges when about that size.
They are splendid meat to fry or roast
or for pot pie; and to enjoy the breast
of fowl one should eat guinea fowl.
The eggs are considered the richest or
all eggs and keep WELL We put them
ND to use In winter, and two years ago,
when illness and death in the family
made me forget the eggs until June, we
found them just as good as when put
away. Il you try guinea fowls, you
are sure to have eggs and fowls for
your table, and no trouble to get them.
