salad is the best in the world, Mrs.

In the removal, washing. and replac-

improvement. This duty is usually
disliked, but under proper manage
mont it should not be distasteful. First.
there is the use of the service truck
This is small table of two or three
shelves, mounted on rather large
wheels, used to transport dishes be-
tween the table and the serving pan
try. There are several dish-washing
machines, but for the average house
hold they are not required. However,
every household can use, and should
adopt, drying racks. These may be
easily made. If made of metal and
glass, with shelves of round wooden
rods. lamps placed near the bottom
will give sufficient heat to dry dishes
quite rapidly. The drying rack should
be placed near the washer. so that as
the dishes are washed they may be
placed within. The washing and dry
ing process may be accurately timed,

Fertilizer FOR
GREENHOUSE USE
Many Weed Seeds and Disease
Germs Contained in Ordinary
Stable Manure.

The use of rotted stable manure as
a source of greenhouse plant food has
been the custom for so many years
that more effective forms OF plant
food make headway slowly; yet this
rotted stable manure has many disad-
vantages. 1t always contains more or
les weed seeds as well as disease
germs, and it supplies plant food in
available form very irregularly.
Also by fermentation it materially
influences the temperature of the
seed beed. a temperature we have no
means of regulating. The ammonia 1t
contains is not nitrated hence for
forcing 1t cannot be safely relied up
on. For greenhouse work the fer
tilizer chemicals should be used, such
as nitrate of soda, acid phosphate.
and sulphate of potash. They should
always be used in such proportions
that 100 pounds of ammoniate nitro
gen are always accompanied by 30
pounds Of phosphoric acid and 20
pounds of actual potash.
The quantity to be applied should
correspond to about three-fourths OF
an ounce of ammoniate nitrogen per
square yard of surface; that is. to
each yard of bench. use about five
ounces of nitrate of soda, three ounces
of acid phosphate and two ounces of
sulphate of potash. A mixture of these
proportions may be dissolved in water
and applied in small proportions every
few days. taking care, however, to
cease applications with those plants It
is desired to fully mature as soon as
the desired growth is made.

Srize iiolstein Cow.

In year, evidence is overwhelming
thai ,hc cows should be managed so
as to cave during the autumn months
For like reasons, September is the
best month in most parts Of the coun-
jry, for Il hcifer TO drop her first calf
in order to best develop as COW.
This almost regardless OF the animal
at the fiisl caiving.
Calves born in the fall are made
easily reared ana make better cows
than those born In the spring and
summer. 1t seems needless to rehearse
the stock argument on the subject,
based on long experience Of successful
dairynen, but a brief recapitulation
may be useful.
The COW or heifer calving in the fall
needs the pos -heal.h-- -.sad nutritious
pasturage just following the strain
while coming into full flow. Just at
this time, when some falling off is
likely to occur, the animal 10 brought
to the stable and receives good care;
the winter feeding and the returns
from it may be depended upon to ex-
ceed the midsummer results for any
like period.
At the stage of milking and gesta-
tioB, when another dropp G off of the
milk yield may be looked r, the fresh
pastures induce fresh eo,v, Iengthen
the milking season and increase the
years total product.
December and January are good
months IN which to control and super
wise the service of 4 bull. Midsummer
and the deg days are good time
for the COW to be dry and preparing to
caive again.
With fall-fresh COWS, the greatest
end richest product comes at the sea-
son when milk and butter are always
comparatively high in price.
In actual practice four fall-fresh
cows have been found equal to five
which caived IN the spring in IL
months product and at about four
fifths the cost.

begin to feed on the pulp of the fruit.
In apricots they make straight for the
center: in peaches and other fruits
they are more inclined to work out in
different directions. When fully de-
velopeG, which usually requires fort
night or three weeks, they leave the
fruit. which has previously fallen, and
enter the ground. Here they soon
change to the pupal stage, and remain
for IL days to three weeks, when they
become transformed into a fly,
completing one generation.
The governments of certain coun-
tries have put in force regulations for
the enforced control of fruit flies, and
in each instance the principle follow
ed has been the inspection of orchards
and cleaning up and destruction of all
fallen fruit. At the present time the
United States authorities are expert
menting with the "poison-bait" meth
cd of controlling the insect, similar to
that tried in South Africa. In that case
the bait consisted of solution of five
gallons of molasses. one pound of ar
senate of lead. and % gallons of wa
ter. This was used in the form of a
spray evenly distributed over the
trees. bushes. prickly pears, etc. Not
only were thousands of The flies pre-
vented from reaching maturity, but
the deposition of eggs in the fruit al
ready ripening was almost completely
stopped. The fruit on all the late va
rieties of treated trees ripened per-
fectly. and Was sold OF the market and
guaranteed Iree fron fae maggots. Ca
the trees that were not sprayed the
situation was just the reverse, almost
every ripe fruit being infested by
maggots ranging from newly hatched
to fully developed. The pupa were
also present under some of the decay
ing peaches, and there were numerous
flies fitting about the trees. The poi
soned-bait method of controlling the
fly appears entirely feasible in this
country. especially in more or less arid
regions, where the spray cannot be
washed off by rains, and is not other
wise disturbed.

The recent announcement of Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of ag-
riculture of his purpose to hold hear.
inss for the purpose of determining
the advisability of quarantine against
importations of plants. fruits or trees
from countries where the Mediterran-
can fruit fly is known to exist, has
aroused considerable interest in this
very destructive insect, and there have
been many demands on the depart
ment for information concerning it.
To meet this demand DR.. l.. o. How

of his bureau-of which A. l.. Quain-
tance is the author.
That the Mediterranean fruit fly is
most serious drawback to the sue
cessful cultivation of fruit in the coun-
tries where il is established. there
can be no question. Indeed, the cul-
tiyation of fruits is scarcely possible
in the worst infested regions. The
fruit-growing industry of Bermuda was
practically destroyed many years ago
by the introduction of the insect into
that island. Its introduction into the
United States in all probability would
be calamitous to the orchard interests
of our more southern states and sf
California. in which regions ii would
find conditions very similar TO those
