Plant Louise Remedies.

The habits of all plant lice are very
similar and the remedies best adapted
for their destruction are practically
the same. being varied according TO
the conditions regarding size and form
of the plants, vines or trees 10 be
treated, and depending somewhat on
the facilities for obtaining and apply.
ing the various mixtures. The green
aphis which affects the apple, plum,
prune and other fruit trees, is numer-
Gus at this time of the year, and can
only be treated with spray that will
not injure the foliage of the trees and
which kills the insects by coming in
contact with their bodies. A strong
spray is required to force the mix
lures into the depths of the foliage and
to cover the lice properly. 1t may
also be necessary TO spray more than
once to rid the trees of the pest.
Black Leaf Dip, tobacco prepare
ton gotten up primarily for the pur-
pose of killing parasites on cattle,
sheep and hogs, has been found most
excellent remedy for the green aphis
and other plant lice. The dip is used
in the proportion of one gallon to 20
gallons of water.
Kerosene emulsion made in the pro-
portions of one gallon of kerosene to
fifteen gallons of water and one-fourth
pound of soap TO this amount of the
liquids, is an old and tried remedy.
Whale oil soap or fish oil soaps in
the proportion of one pound OF soap
to eight gallons of water, is a good
remedy. This is easily prepared SIM
ply requiring to dissolve the soap in
the water and apply the same as the
kerosene emulsion.
A tobacco decoction made by boiling
whole leaf tobacco, one pound TO four
gallons of water, or two pounds of to-
baccO stems or dust to four gallons
of water, is said to be as effective as
the black leaf dip though perhaps
more expensive and more difficult TO
prepare.
No lime should be used in any OF
these preparations. The lime and sui
phur preparation heretofore described
and advocated for the green aphis and
the woolly aphis is not to be used dur
ing the growing season. 1t Will IN

Marketing Spot Cotton.

Discussing the question of market
ing cotton the Cotton Journal says:
After passing through the terrible
hardships of forty years and submit
ting to the dominating control of out
side influences in pricing the cottop
crop of the south, the growers are at
last exercising the rights of American
freemen TO have a voice in pricing the
products of their labor The recognl-
ton of this inherent right has been
long time coming, but it has at last
made it's presence felt, and within the
past few years positive and definite
results have been secured. Now that
something tangible is to be developed
in the future marketing of American
cotton by the growers, it is we'll to sit
down and calmly and dispassionately
consider the best methods to be pur-
sued to get the best and most salts
factory results.
That the south intends to place a
price on its cotton crop each year in
the future there is no use TO argue.
That the south has passed the period
in it's history when arbitrary intiu-
ences on the Outside will be permitted
to fix and regulate the price of this
great staple crop there is hardly any
need to waste time in discussing. II
the growers expect to do well their
part they must recognize and conform
to the rules of sound business princl-
pies and the regulations OF the de-
mands of trade The price of spot
cotton cannot be regulated and main
tanned at profitable figures TO the
growers by artificial means or spas
modic attempts through the medium
of force from time to time. There
must be some we'll defined system of
marketing adopted which will give
permanent relief and which at the
same time will not tend to restrict
or harass the business of the spin
nerS.
There is but one way to get rid of
the artificial influences which affect
the price of spot cotton, and that is
to remove the power and influence
of the speculative trader. To do this
the marketing of spot cotton must be
regulated in such a way as to meet
only the legitimate demands OF con-
sumption. If the mills of the world
only require enc million bales of Amer
lean cotton each month to meet their
demands then we must keep the sup
ply of the raw material we'll within
the limits of that demand.

When Cows Should Dry.

AS to when cows should be dried
from milking, a dairyman giving his
own experience says that this depends
to some extent on the quality and Wig
or of the COW, and that COW in poor
condition may be allowed two months
in which to recruit her strength, with
advantage to herself and her prospec-
tive calf, but this is to some extent
a matter of keep, for the poor COW
generally belongs to the poor feed
er, and, if the feeding is generous, the
animal healthy, and the quantity Of
milk produced pays expenses there is
no reason why the period of rest
should not be further reduced In
the case of the average COW the milk
ing can be continued until within
month of calving. If COW is in low
condition, it is better, in our opinion,
to resort to higher feeding than to dry
off. We have known COWS treated thus
for many years, sometimes being
MIXED to within month of calving,
that have carried as good an appear
ance, and produced equally good
calves, as those which run dry nearly
three times as long. Six weeks may
be considered the average period dur
ing which a COW should be dry, unless
the circumstances are exceptional.

Thousands upon thousands of bar

Two points are important in this
come Ition First, If these thousands
of barrels of -four were packed in cot

demand for our cotton.
Second, if these barrels were not
called for, some of the great causes

Great Dairy Industry.

The clean milk problem is a vital
one, affecting the production and con-
sumption of over 100000, 600 gallons
in the United States per year, being
an annual supply or over one hundred
gallons for every man, woman and
child in the country. This amount af-
fords IL quart a day for every in
dividual, which includes the milk used
in making butter and cheese. The act
ual amount of whole milk consumed
each day averages about .65 of pint
for every individual. The value of this
product for a year at retail is the
startling sum of 100000 600 of dol
lars. This is about one-fftieth of the
entire wealth of the nation, five times
the Wholesale value of last years
wheat crop, nearly twice the value OF
the corn crop, and over one-third OF
the entire value of farm products Tor
1907, which is estimated at S1,400,,
600 600. The wholesale value of dairy
products last year was estimated at
$500 600, 900 which would allow price
of less than ten cents a gallon for
milk at the dairy. An average retail
price of seven cents a quart was as
sumed, which is probably little be-
low the average price.-Conn. station
