from sight. When the larva or mag
got is reached, she touches it slowly
and with great care, seeking the pos
terror end, inserting her ovipositor be-
tween the 18th and Sth abdominal seq
ment, never leaving less than II eggs
in the body, which hatch in summer
within 4S hours. This insect is very
prolific, laying up to 200 eggs, and
goes through its development from
egg to adult within its victim in Is
to l6 days, about half the time the
fruit fly takes; thus showing, if es-
tablished, its power to control this
/ pest.
In dealing with the latter, it has
necessitated the handling of thousands
of fruit fly maggots, and only in one
instance did l find a native internal
parasite, thus showing the reason for
the abnormal increase of this pest.
! The parasite was a chalcid, and evil

was too slow in it's transformation
to be of any material use, and was
probably only accidental in the fruit
fly, as | was unable to obtain any fur
Their specimens.
Artificial Methods.-First and fore
most comes the oft-repeated instruc-
lions to pick infected fruit from trees
and ground twice daily, destroying
by boiling or burning. This in itself,
if thoroughly and Systematically car
ried out by every grower in town and
country, would deal a severe and eff
fective blow to the fly, because every
maggot so destroyed is a fly less, and
in the case of a female minus eggs.
The reason why this method some
times fails is because it necessitates
unrelenting, systematic effort, and a
certain number of the larvae emerge
before the fruit drops, and others be-
fore the fruit can be collected. To
be successful by this means, the pre-
vSously mentioned conditions must be
carried out thoroughly Another plan,
instead of destruction by fire, is to
place the maggoty fruit in a tank or
barrel, adding sufficient water to COW
er; the whole soon ferments and the
maggots die. The digging of deep
pits or trenches and depositing mag
goty fruit therein, covering same with
at least two feet of soil, well pressed
down, will destroy all maggots, The
feeding of uncooked maggoty fruit
to fowls or other animals is not a sat
isfactory way of treating this pest, as
many of the maggots escape before
eaten This practice should be strong
ly condemned. The fruit is just as
useful after cooking for the purpose
of feeding animals.

No Reason For Disuse OF Plant Food.
Plow Your Land Deeply.
In q recent issue of Farm and Fire
side q contributor writes a very inter
esting article on soil fertility in which
he shows the different qualities that
soil must have and how, when the soil
becomes depleted, some sort OF replen-
ishment Of the lost qualities must be
provided. Following is an extract from
the article:
zone of the ways we have OF increas.
ing our crop yield is to plow deeper.
That is like running the hand little
deeper into the pocket. It is true, and
it does not take the place of adding to
our soil nitrogen, potash and phos.
phoric acid, but it does enable us TO
make available soil fertility that is
really ours and to the benefits of which
we are fairly entitled.
But will this deeper soil really give
us better crops? That homely creature
the woodchuck may answer that ques-
ton for us. wherever he has his home.
See what he does by his system Of
deeper digging. The rankest grass Oh
the whole farm is right around the
woodchuck hole. What has he done2
He has brought up some of the fertil-
ity that has all these years been locked
up waiting for us to make II available.
The rains have moistened this soil. the
sunshine has warmed it. and splendid
grass is the result.

ton. | know it will take little harder
work on the part Of our horses to bring
this rich earth up. And If we had to
hold the plow as we used to our arms
would surely ache before night. but
the beautiful riding plows of today,
which hold themselves. have lessened
the work of turning over the soil We
may as well have the extra depth Of
soil to grow better crops as to let 1t lie
there idle in the dark On many farms
there are layers of what have been
called hard pan little way below
the surface. These form tables which
hold the moisture and prevent it from
finding its way deeper into the earth.
They also in some degree form a bar
rier TO the progress Of plant roots
downward Other lands do not present
this barrier, but wherever the soil is
thus packed down it needs breaking up.
Drainage will do very much to help
about this. and little raising Of the
clevis, so that the plowshare will dive
deeper. will certainly enable our crops
to get hold Of and make available the
locked up reserve fertility"

Care of the Brood Sow,

Success in pork production is large
ly affected by the attention given to
the health and comfort of the brood
SOW. She should always be housed
in a warm, comfortable place. Prefer
ably this will be a cot well supplied
with straw and having a door which
swings both ways, always closing
when the sow passes in or out. This
cot may be located at some distance
from the feeding place, so that she will
get the necessary exercise in running
to and fro. Her food should consist
largely of bulky foods, such as milk,
roots and clover hay, which will keep
her in good condition without fatten-
ing. AS farrowing time approaches
the bulk should be cut down, less wa
ter should be given, and more protein
and oily feeds should be fed, SO as to
keep the sow in laxative condition

Orchard and Garden Notes.

If air slaked lime be in earth in
which plants are potted it will keep
worms away.
Most growers using fats SOW one and
a half to two inches apart. The seed
need not be covered with more than
one-fourth Of an inch of soil. Water
thoroughly Immediately after sowing,
and do not apply more water than Is
absolutely necessary. Overwatering,
high temperatures and lack OF ventila'
tion are responsible for spindlins
plants.
Mats of some kind must be used at
night for the protection Of the plants in
hotbeds and cold frames. These should
be removed as soon as possible in the
morning when the sun is shining and
replaced on the frames not later than 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. Some air
should be admitted TO the frames every

POTASH DEPOSITS FOUND.
Valuable Discovery In MohaVe Desert

A valuable discovery of soluble pot
ash salts has been made in the Mo
have desert, southern California, by
field representatives Of the bureau Of
soils and the geological survey. The
potash was found in a partially dried
up lake. The government experts who
found it declare that there are indica-

Director Smith Of the geological sur
vey and Chief Whitney Of the bureau

and Immediately telegraphed for de-
tails. The government bureaus for
some time had sought throughout the
country for potash, feeling certain a
supply would be found. At present the

for it. Disagreement between the

REASONS FOR STAYING ON
THE FARM.

1t is the safest real estate in
yestment.
1t is the best place to avoid
doctor bills.
There is no place like it for
bringing up family.
1t affords the greatest oppOrtu-
nifty to cultivate the bump of OPP
timism.
1t is the foundation Of all ma
tional prosperity.
1t produces the eatables and
wearables for the nations peo.
pie.
1t offers the best chance to live
in peace with God and man. than
which nothing better can be de-
sired.
1t is easier TO leave the farm
than 1t Is to get back to 1t after
you are once in the city working
as carpenter, bricklayer, carman,
bookkeeper or clerk to meet your
financial obligations.
1t gives a man room TO build
