A COOLING MOTH PARASITE,

A cOding moth parasite has been dis

incessant warfare which they have to
wage against this worst insect foe of

it takes eighty-three of the bees placed
end TO end to cover the space of an
inch while two or three of them find
ample room in a cooling moth egg,
which is not larger than the eye end
of medium sized needle. Professor
Taylor has been observing the work of
this bee for the past four years. but
not until the past summer has the in

to make effective inroads against the
coding moth. The tiny bee searches
out the freshly laid moth eggs. pierces
their shells and deposits its eggs with

Cow Testinu Associations.

1t is the height of folly to keep nm
profitable cows, and the man who has
no record of his cows can never tell
how many Improbable ones are in
his herd 1t pays every man to keep
continuous record of each individual,
but so many people think they have
not time to learn whether they are
making or losing money with their
cows and continue in the old way that
keeps the average production at a
ridiculously low figure. By forming
associations Of twenty to twenty-six
farmers and hiring competent man
to spend day with each member OF
the association to weigh and test the
milk once a month they can come
close enough to actual production to
enable them to eliminate the unproft-
able cows. Testing associations should
be formed in every neighborhood, and
when this is done it will mean hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
pockets of our farmers who keep milk

Gull the Sheep Flock.

The winter season is a good time
to separate the sheep. Every flock
should be culled over annually. Those
that have passed their period of use
fulness and those that are lacking in
type or wool qualities or otherwise
not desired in the flock should be
separated, fattened and sold. Sheep
should have some kind of shelter, even
if it be primitive in nature, but which
offers an abundance of fresh air and
keeps the rain and snow out A box
of salt and good, clean water should
be kept before the sheep at all times
1t is mistake to think that sheep
sheds never need cleaning out, as do
COW stables. They ought to be cleaned
out at least once a month. Sheep
will stand great deal of cold if they
are kept dry and given plenty of fresh
air and what they need of nutritious
food. If this kind of attention is put
behind the sheep they will do well and
give you good, fat profit before the
next winter comes around.

THE HOTBED.

AS there are always those every
spring who are taking up gardening
for the first time it will be in place
to again give simple directions for
making the hotbed, which will not
only pay for itself in the toothsome
radishes and lettuce which it will pro-
vide for the table. but also in furnish
ing tomato. cabbage. caulitower, pep
per, eggplant. ETC., for transplanting
into the open ground. The location Of
the bed Is important. and preferably
this should be on the south side of
building or tight board fence, where
the suns rays will be cornered. The
length and width of the hotbed will
depend upon ones purpose and upon
the dimension of the window sash
which are available. The frame should
be so built that the sash will slope to
the south five or six inches and may be
built about a trench dug in the ground
or made of wider stuff set on the
ground and banked with manure We
have tried both ways and prefer the
former. Into the pit prepared should
be placed eight or ten inches of fresh
horse manure containing about one
third short straw or other litter. which
will keep 1t from heating too rapidly.
The chemical reaction which generates
the heat will be hastened If a few
pals of water are poured over the ma
nure. This should be allowed to heat
some before the earth is put in. which

be put on and things allowed to warm
up. When the air in the bed shows a
temperature of about 70 degrees the
seed may be planted in rows or broad

should be watered frequently enough
to keep the soil moist. and If the Their
mometer or hand shows the bed is get

In a general way thar type of farm
ing has most to commend 1t from the
standpoint of the welfare of the soil
and the owner of II in which the
amount paid to railroads for transpor-
tation of products is reduced to a mini
mum. 1t is because of this fact that
raising hogs, sheep and cattle is bet
ter type of farming than grain selling
and why butter production is better
than either. With grain the value of
the shipment is from cent to a cent
and half a pound, with stock to 10
cents and with butter % to 35 cents.
Not only this. but the amount of fer
tility removed from the farm is in
quite accurate indirect ratio to the
value per pound of the product ship
ped. There is something in the above
facts that the general farmer might
