The Pest That Kills PIums.

The quickest and most economical
method of fighting the curculio where
there are only few trees is to place
sheet under each tree early in the
morning as soon as the insects appear
and jar the trunks. When they fall
gather and burn. This should be done
twice week for two or three weeks,
when most, if not all of them. can be
caught before the fruit is injured. The
plum, the damson and the apricot are
the fruits most injured. Slugs that at
tack the pear and other trees may be
killed by busting the leaves when
damp with fresh air slaked lime. APP
pie trees should be sprayed early in
the spring when buds commence to
form. after the blossoms fall, wher
fruit is one-third grown and when half
grow. The bordeaux and paris green
solution is the best remedy. These
solutions may be had already prepared
at the agricultural stores.

Keeping Surplus Eggs.

When eggs are only required to be
preserved for two or three months
they keep very well packed in dry
salt or bran The meat of the egg
may shrink and rattle within the shell
when shaken, but its edibility is not
impaired Coating the egg with vase
line or butter will also keep it for
short time. or any application which
sSactively seals the pores of the shell
and excludes .air will prolong the
freshness of eggs. If the egg is even
momentarily submerged in boiling wa
ter the albumen thereby becomes suffi-
GENTLY coagulated to prevent the en-
trance of air. In some of the rural
districts in England and Scotland eggs
for home consumption are smutted
over with a mixture of sulphur and
lampblack. cheap and effective pre-
sentative. But the limewater mixture
Is best for general purposes.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA,

Remarkable Possibilities of the Far
Northwest Possession.
The area of Alaska is so great that
the United States government main
tains FIVE agricultural experiment sta

crops may be tested under all the eli
matte conditions. Sitka, on the strip
of coast projecting southeast. has

Gle. C. G. Georgeson, special agent in
charge of all the stations, in his an
nual report for 1908, recently issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture. declares unqualifiedly that
alaska is an agricultural country"
that good hay can be produced lin any
quantity for winter feeding. while the
native grasses '.can maintain live stock
in excellent condition in summer" He
says also that potatoes, cabbage. caul-
flower. rhubarb. turnips, lettuce and,
in short. all the hardy vegetables can
be grown to perfection up to and even
within the arctic circle, as has been
proved by thousands of settlers But
before Alaska can be largely settled
railroads and wagon roads must be
built Under present conditions, he
says. flew farmers can afford to go to
Alaska with their families, live stock
and equipment" The expense of trans
portation would equal the cost of
farm in the states"
Abundant sunshine is essential for
good crops in Alaska. In 1908 the rain
fall during the growing season at
Sitka was 1922 inches against 24.76
inches the year before and 1891 inches
in 1906. The smaller rainfall meant
more sunshine, and the result in 1908
was large crops of potatoes, cabbage,
The quality also was better.
Mr.. Georgeson believes that Alaska
has undeveloped resources sufficient
for the support of a large population.
But there, as he says, Mature is stern
and uncompromising and we must sub
init to the conditions she imposes"
Among many interesting facts given
in the report is this: Watermelons
were brought to maturity out of doors
on the Hot Springs farm, which is in
the Tanana valley, in latitude GA de-
grees north. 1t seems that on part of
this farm the soil is warmed from the
same source. whatever it is, that heats
the water of the springs. This farm
has now 100 acres regularly under
crop. the greater portion devoted to po-
tatoes.

Pickina Hops.

There are two drawbacks to hop
picking. One is so called hop poison
ing, which is simply sort of prickly
heat or rash, sometimes produced by
contact Of face and arms with the net
tle-1ike fuzz on the stalks OF the hop
vine. It does not affect all pickers.
The other is the dark staining of the
hands resulting from the resin of the
blossom. It may be removed with the
crushed green leaves of the hop.

A concrete roller is very desirable
article to have on farm. One may be

several dollars. Following is described
a simple and practical way of making
a concrete roller: The first cut shows
two completed rollers, one with an
iron handle, the other with one of
wood; 2 by 4 should be used for side
pieces. The weight of concrete roller
may be figured at about $50 pounds
