The Clover Hax Worm.

Occurs in stacked or stored clover
1t is active in winter, working at the
bottom of the hay where it is warmer
and moister. These worms eat the
hay and web together the rest of it
with silk intermingled with black par
ticles like grains of gunpowder. The
hay appears as II widowed and the
stock refuse to eat 1t. II there is
much moisture fungus is present
also. to get rid Of this worm the old
refuse hay should be cleaned out and
burned. A good preventive in the out
door stack is to build the stack on a
platform of logs or rails, giving It ven.
tilation underneath. Another good,
method is to salt the stack for two
or three feet from the bottom. a half
gallon to the ton. This worm is in
furious in proportion to the warmth
and moisture, and it will not bother
perfectly dry hay.-Prof. ]. T. Folsom.

THE THREE VARIETIES
OF FOXTAIL MILLET

The foxtail millets are by far more
generally grown in this country than
the other groups. They may be dis
tinguished by the shape of head-a
single spike.
Three varieties of this group are
well known and very generally grown.
They are common, Hungarian and Ger
man millets.
Common millet, as its name indf-
Gates, is the variety which first came
into general use. In length of season
1t is the earliest Of the three and con-
sequently is grown in the northern
part OF the millet section. It is con-
sidered rather more resistant to
drouth and will give better returns
upon poor soils than the German.
though not as large yields upon
rich soil. The head~is medium in size;
seed somewhat larger than either
Hungarian or German, oval in shape.
and yellow in color.
Hungarian millet, sometimes called
Hungarian grass, differs from the.
other varieties of this group in having
shorter and more erect heads and a.
large percentage of dark purple seeds.
Part of its seeds are yellow and part
purple. In length of season it is inter-
mediate between the common and the
German. 1t is not as coarse as the
German and makes a rather more de-
sirable quality Of hay. Like the COM
mon, 1t produces a number of stems
from single seed. 1t is very popular
in Ohio and east.
German millet is a later variety; a
very rank grower, has large, nodding
heads, frequently an inch in diameter;
leaves broad, short and stiff; seeds
small and yellow. This variety usually
produces but one stem per seed. It
Is grown quite extensively upon the
better lands of the south and has a
place upon the richer lands of Ohio,
but will not bear quite as late seeding
Is the smaller varieties
The foxtail millets weigh AZ to so
pounds per bushel.

1t is a demonstrated fact that roots
seek moisture and having found 1t &c
no deeper. A comparison has been
made of the tendency of roots Of
plants in humid regions and in dry
regions. In the humid regions, the
roots spread out much more than in
dry regions, where they go more d.
rectly downward. This is a difference
that must be understood by the farm
er who must grow plants both in wet
seasons and in dry seasons. Thus, in
a dry season, for farmer to sprinkle
any crop from above means that the
roots will turn upward in search Of
the moisture and the sprinkling will
have to be continued If good results
are to be secured.

STILL DOING IT.

IA year ago we published an article
in this paper entitled, Can We Do
IT. and after years trial we invite
the attention OF the public to the fact
that we are doing 1t.
Eat that time we had just installed
new linotype and attachments that
cost $1,000, and while local men were
discussing the chances of it breaking
US, up In business or being success
and good thing for the community,
we decided to discontinue the use Of
the ready-print or patent inside OF the
paper and give the public eight pages
of home news instead Of four pages
and four-page patent containing a
lot of patent medicine advertisements
and other things over which we had
no control.
We have tried that once before and
it was disastrous, but with the new
equipment we thought we could sue
coed, and our ledger shows that it has
cost up 1898 more to run the office
the past year than the year before,
while our subscription list and adj
vertising have not increased in pro-
portion to our increased expenses.
Our conclusion is that while 1t is
very gratifying to have the best ma
chinery the world affords for setting
type, the public isn't SO very particu-
lar whether they have lots of home
news or plenty of Peruna advertise
ments and information about Little
Liver Pills, ETC., but as we look back
over the files of a year ago and two
years ago we are not willing to go
back to the old form, and the public
will receive an extra thousand dol
lars worth of service from us again
for the coming year at the old price
of two dollars year in advance.

The plant shown here is American
Hellebore, called also Indian Poke.
Root. Its Latin name is Veratrum
viride. The plant grows from two to
four feet high. 1t is found in Doggy
meadows and in other low places. It
Is often found along the margins Of
brooks The leaves are often a foot
long. The flowers are lily-like in
structure. Great quantities Of this
plant are annually dried and sold for
medicinal uses. 1t produces, however
dangerous medicine, and this should
only be prescribed by physicians.

'SCABS' IN NAVAL ACADEMY
BAND.

Although it is planned to have $4,000
men in the procession that will welcome
Cardinal Gibbons to Baltimore on his
return from abroad next month, there
may be only one band to provide the
music-that of the naval academy. The
musicians who play quicksteps for the
tmiddies" at Annapolis are servants
of Uncle Sam and hold no cards of the
powerful Musical Union, hence the
trouble. The union bands of Baltimore
threaten to boycott the welcome to his
eminence if the "scabs" who wear the
United States uniform are permitted to
march in the parade. The committee in
charge of the reception says the naval
musicians viii have place in the line,
and that if the Musical Union doesn It
like il, it can do the next best thing. sWe
can get along nicely with one big
band,' says the chairman "The line
Of march ism t long, anyway
