Anyone walking through tobacco
field, if he is at all observing, cannot
fail to have impressed upon his mind
the enormous loss occasioned every
year by insects. Hardly leaf can
be found which is not injured in some
way by insect pests. Either the leaf
is punctured by the flea bug or large,
irregular holes are eaten through the
leaf by horn worms or the whole top
has been shattered by bud worms.
True, much of the injury is so slight
that it has no effect whatsoever upon
the price of the leaf tobacco, but
much of the tobacco which ought to
sell for first-class wrappers sell for
a lower grade because of blemishes
due to insects. A conservative tobac-
co farmer estimates that from 80 to
so per cent. of the money value of his

piece Of real estate, belonging to said
80. in Sd Ward of the city of Lancaster in

crop is annually lost through the de-
structive work of insects. The larger
part of this injury is, however, pre-
ventable if the farmer will only en-
ploy the proper methods.
Commencing with the sowing OF
seeds in the spring, successive raves
of insects pass over the seed bed and
over the field of growing tobacco. The
plants that are left for seed have their
pods devoured by insects and the
suckers which grow up in the field
after the tobacco is harvested are
riddIed by insects, the work of which
is cut short only when the plants are
killed by frost.
Leaves are of course the most i'm
portant part of the tobacco plant and
insects do the most real damage to
the leaves. The aim of the tobacco
farmer is to grow good, f1rst-class
wrappers, as this grade of tobacco
brings the best price; but tobacco
riddled Dy flea bugs or with large
holes chewed into it by bud worms or
horn worms must always be classed
with lower and cheaper grades. The
number of insects injuring the tobac-
co leaf is large compared with the
numbers that injure other parts of the
tobacco plant. The injury caused to
leaves by insects is largely due 20
the fact that these insects are chew
ing insects and eat holes directly
through the leaf The size of these

Keep the Cow Clean.

A COW should be kept as clean or
cleaner than an individual by being
thoroughly bathed at least once or
twice week. Only the purest water
should be given to her, for If allowed
to drink from the impure stream Of
the pasture or from pools of water
she may in this way infect the milk
and thus carry the germs of disease.
The attendant should not only be a
healthy individual, free from disease
of nose and throat, but should wear a
white suit and should have hands
thoroughly washed before milking, the
udder of the cow should at every
milking be thoroughly washed Snd all
vessels intended to receive the milk
should be thoroughly secured. The
stall where the cow is to be MIXED
should be of cement finish and thor
oughly cleaned before the milking
process begins. After the milk is
drawn is should Immediately be put
upon ice and the utensils kept open
to prevent the development Of tyro-
toxicon.

lected, If possible. The plants will
grow much faster if protected in this
way from the cold northern winds
and in this way the plants will, to
certain extent outgrow the attack OF
insects in the beds. To this end every
care should be taken to see that the
bed is well drained, that the soil is
full Of humus and fertility and that
nothing but good, strong plants, which
are to a great extent resistant to in
sects. A good stand of thrifty plants
is such an essential thing to the grow
ing of a good tobacco crop that no
amount of labor should be spared in
tho preparation and care Of the seed
bed. The insects which are destruc-
tive in the seeded are usually easily
controlled by spraying. A great deal
of spraying may be done on the seed
beds at comparatively small cost, for
the area is small and easily accessible
and as most of the insects in the beds
follow the plants to the field, there to
increase in enormous numbers, it nee
essarily follows that a reduction Of
the insects in the bed means CORE
spending reduction of the same in
sects in the field. Then, too, while
the plants are young, they may be
sprayed in safety with much strong
er solution than could be used in the
fields, for a slight burning Of the
leaves In the beds would in no way
