FIGHTING THE COTTON PESTS
LOSS INSECTS NAY IN TIME. BE PREVENTEI

studied, out ana used. the rotation Of
cotton with other crops can be made
quite eftectual in avoiding Cut-worms,
Cowpea-pod Weevil. Root-louse and
Red Spider. and to q lesser extent II
may be helpful against the Cotton
Leaf-louse.
But II the farmer is to know just
what methods to adopt to avoid insect
pests, he should know just what those
insects are. and how they live, grow
and change from one stage Of life to
aLother.
The cotton worm is the iarva or cat
erpillar Of a flying moth and IL some
times very destructive to the late top
growth Of cotton.
The culture methods Of rotation and
which are 30 useful against
a number Of our cotton pests are
relatively useless and impracticabls
against this flying pest.
On the whole, the methods Of COM
batting the Cotton Worm consist in
tho application OF direct remedies, in
the form Of poisons put on the foliage:
to kill the caterpillars. They are SO
ravenous that they are easily killed

CUT WORMS IN THE GARDEN

~ "cutworms'' IS meant the larvae
Of certain millers or moths. The term
Is applied to q number of species
which are very destructive to garden
and field crops and sometimes also
to foliage Of fruit trees. Though there
are some differences in the life hist
cries Of the several species, they are
sufficiently alike in some of their
similar methods.
The larva IL fat, dirty gray or
brownish creature, an inch or more in
length when full grown and practic-
ally hairless The w marked cut
worm and tho spotted cut-worm
are each marked by double row
of black spots. which in the first
me 1tioned species are Of equal size,
but in the second the spots gradually
decrease in size toward the head.
The caterpillars usually lie curled
up during the day, in sheltered spot
or in the earth. After nightfall they
come to the surface to feed upon
whatever vegetation I,ay be conven-
lent. They are very general feeders,
eating leaves, buds, fruit, stalks or
roots and show a decided preference
for plants that are young and sue
culent. When the alternating larvae
f,rst begin to forage they are partic-
ularly Injurious. Not infrequently a
farmer will be obliged to reset plants
several times before stand is OBJ
tanned because the pests cut them off
as fast as they are set. The injury
continues until mid summer when the

farmer owning as many as twen-
t,--"ve sheep should have a good Dip
p'ls vat. These may be made Of
wood, metal or concrete. For a
smaller number of sheep than twenty
five, the barrel used to scald the pigs
will do If the farmer feels that he
cannot afford to purchase or build
a vat.
A good galvanized vat ten feet long
and four feet deep made purposely
for dipping can be purchased for about
$1,000. There are smaller sizes than
this that can be purchased for less
money. Concrete watts can be built
q. E. normal cost. Three or four
farmers can club together and pur-
chase one OF? the galvanized tanks and
haul 1t to their respective farms as It
is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep
sk ould be narrow enough to prevent
the sheep turning around in It, and
deep enough to swim large sheep.
The length Of the vat should depend
upon the number Of sheep 4 man
keeps on his place. as the longer tho
vat the greater the numbor of sheep
which can be dippsd in day. There
Is &C nsiderable variation as to the
width Of watts found on different farms
and as usual thing they arc wider
than necessary. Then. too, the mar
rover the vat the less the dip required
to All 1t. A vat 20 inches wide at
the top and 8 inches wide at tho bot
tor. is a fair average as regards width,
although some very practical sheep
men construct their watts a. narrow
as 16 inches at the top ana inches
at the bottom when the vat Is I feet
deep. The size Of sheep kept on q
farm must, Of course, be taken into
consideration.

planted in rows, a convenient way Is
to make the mixture rather dry and
then distribute 1t by means of wheel
seeder. In field practice. among such
close growing crops as standing grain,
v, ich are sometimes injured by cut
worms, the poisoned bran remedy is
also serviceable. The mixture can be
distributed by means of a paddle or
shingle and can be thrown easily to
distance OF 20 feet. When distrib-
uted in this way, there is much less
danger of chickens and birds picking
1t up than II 1t Is placed In Jumps.
The question Of danger from the
use of this poisoned bait Is one that
must be considered. As rule there
Is little danger from this cause. The
quantity used IL so small that it is
not noticed by poultry: then too, in
gardens, poultry do 80 much harm
to plants that they should never be
admitted at the time Of year when
cut-worms occur injuriously and only
at special times Of the year when
there are no crops to injure. The
who have used this remedy without
taking any special precautions Is that
injury to domestic animal is extremely
rare. However, there will be many
occasions when plants In gardens may
be protected by putting out the pois-
oned bran in small heaps and then
co,.ering these up with a piece OF
single or some other covering, SO
that the material cannot be got at
by stray chickens and other poultry.

PAINTING FARM MACHINERY.

Iron or steel surfaces should be
carefully cleaned, by means Of a steel
wire brush and emery paper. to Insure
the removal of all rust before painting.
Paint generally should be applied
with a good round brush, and we'll
rubbed out. The rubbing out serves to
remove any bubbles Of air, also the
film of air found on all surfaces: and
1t insures a thorough incorporation Of
the paint with the surface, thus
affording better protection. The rust
ing Of farm machinery Is no doubt
largely due to the fact that 1t II
painted by the dipping process. Air
bubbles causing openings in the paint
film, moisture enters and rusttng
begins; also, the paint not being
cemented to the surface by being we'll
brushed out, is easily removed me-
chanically.-G. w. Walker.

How long tho cotton grower VIII
be willing to calmly sacrifice tho large
amount Of money which is tho annual
toll to insects, Is largely for him to
decide. While 1t is true that no
grower however energetic and earnest
can entirely prevent, loss from TINS
source, 1t is safe to say that at least
one-third Of this total loss could DO

by the adoption Of different methoos

Cotton, like corn and other grains.
is 4 crop Of what we may call low
value. That Is to say, the
cash return from an acre devoted to
cotton 10 low as compared to the re
turn from some other crops. An acre
devoted to Strawberries may yield
net return Of $500, but an acre devoted
to cotton will usually yield not over
$50. Thus, while one might probably
spend $40 or $50 per acre to combat
insects on strawberries, the average
farmer cannot spend more than
few dollars per acre at most to com
bat cotton insects, II he r. to make
profit.

the thousands Of lives are at stake in
this way the danger passes unnoticed.
and the consequences are disastrous
and seem mysterious until attention is
d. scted to the point, then 1t becomes
simple enough in all conscience"
Another very serious source of in
lection in which flies play prom
inent part is in the milk supply. AS
is we'll known, milk is most excellent
medium for the development of bacilli
which multiply in it with exceeding
rapidly. Experiments have shown
that single fly contaminated by ty-
phoid germs, may spread contagion
throughout an entire community.
Epidemics of intestinal diseases
among infants fed with cows milk
appear to be caused more often by
flies than any other source. Milk
GENES to cities from rural, districts
where the principles Of sanitation are
not applied. This fact points to the
necessity of handling milk, especially
during hot weather, with great care
and cleanliness. The use Of clean
milk in community always lowers
the infant death rate.
Another preventive measure is to
keep milk clean through its entire
course from COW to consumer. Also
to keep 1t cool and always away from
flies. All sewer openings on private
or public property should have blind
openings Of such nature that 1t
would be impossible for flies to visit
them. All refuse from dwellings
should be disposed of in such a man
ner that no flies could get at It. Man
ure heaps are the most luxurious
media for the multiplication Of flies.
Manure should never be piled near a
larry or dwelling. Its best disposition

nee is to prevent the breeding Of the
insect. This is much more easily ac-

OF all insects, the one most familiar
20 everyone, whether resident OF city
or country, Is the common house or
typhoid fly. Until recently regarded
as harmless or at most as a slight
nuisance, It. is now recognised as
most serious carrier Of the germs OF
diseases such as typhoid, infantile
diarrhoea, tuberculosis, anthrax.
trachoma, septicemia. ETC. The ex-
periments Of Grassi and Stiles show
that flies can act as carriers OF the
eggs of tape and other parasitic worms
and that man may be infected by the
ny depositing its excreta, or being ac-
cidentally immersed in. his food.

rather than to attempt a remedy after
thu damage has become evident.
It has already been stated that in
combating insect pests of cotton we
must largely depend on methods Of
managing the crop SO that it shall be
least subject to attack or to make it
grow 50 vigorously that 1t will quickly
recover from injury Such methods
may be called cultural methods,
since they imply merely changing or
modification of the methods OF or
binary culture already in common use.
Intelligent farmers everywhere are
coming to see that some system Of
rotation is necessary to secure the best
results with any crop. To grow any
ono crop continuously on the same.
lard year after year will surely result
in wearing out the important elements
of plant-food for that crop, as we'll as
to deplete the supply Of shumus, which
is SO necessary to every soil. To grow
the same crop continuously also gives
every opportunity for tho insect pests
OF that crop to multiply undisturbed
until they become destructive enough
to ruin It. Crops with different re-
Quirements should follow one another
continuously so as to keep, something
growing on the land all the time.
In some respects cotton Is unfor-
tunate in regard to rotation for insect
pests, for II we rotate in such a way
as to avoid one, we are liable to play

cotton follows cowpeas, 1t is liable Is

likely to be attacked by the: Cotton
Root-louse. The grower must, there,

telligent to know what his serious
pests are, and must then choose such
system as will give the least opporl
turnity to his worst pests. Carefully

10, THE BUSY BEE!

Three hundred billion bees, accord
ing to one expert apiarian, made
enough honey last year to fill q train
OF cars long enough to reach from
New York to Buffalo. At the low
wholesale rate Of 10 cents pound
It was worth s25,0oo,ooo. and If the
100, 900 beekeepers of the country had
worked as industriously and skillfully
Is did the bees the weight of the out
nut would have been three times as
great and the value $75,000,000.
Not only did the little workers con-
tribute that vast supply Of pure and
delicious food product to the nation,
but as they made it they treated it
antiseptically with formtc acid, thus
preventing impurities or decay.

b, done by placing by inch pieces
into the concrete inches from the
TOP of the floor and 8 feet from the
ends of the vat-allowance for these
pieces should be made while the vat
is being constructed. They should be
inserted loosely SO that they can be
taken out at dipping time. A niche

HOW TO GROW PRIMR0SES

The lest way to propagate prlm-
roses Is from seeds. which should be
sown as soon as the soil becomes
thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small. but are
easily started by sowing in a boz: or
bed. The soil must be sifted fine and
OF moldy consistency, which will not
bake or become hard. Press the sur
face Of the soil smooth and level
sow the seed evenly and thinly. and
cover lightly. 1t is mistake to SOW
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered. that is, protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun. until the
plants appear. It requires from three
weeks to a month to bring the plants
to the surface, then they must be
carefully busted with little tobacco
and sulphur mixed. to keep down the
fungus and insects.
