IADYBUGS TO DESTROY APHIS
Capture Of Bugs In California Is intesS

Sent to lnsectory.

tBy MRS. \. JOSEPH. California;
The capturing of ladybugs to kill
aphis. is a very interesting industry,
in this state. During the early win
ter months, the miners are always on
the lookout for the lady bugs. and they.
fl turn. notify the State Entomolog-
list and he has them gathered and
sent TO the state insectory.
The bugs are gathered up, while
they are off guard, and thrown into
gunny-sacks. Then, they are trans
ported by pack-train, over the snow.
&c the station. from which place. they
are forwarded by train.
Humbug Canyon is favorite place
for the ladybugs. When the canyon
nils up with snow, in the winter. and
there is no more food, they foregath
er in the higher places, where there
are great punches of moss. The
warmth of their bodies is conserved,
in this way. The little fellows on the
outside worm their way inward, and
when they get warm, crawl out again,

ladybugs sleep through the winter
Then the warmth of spring helps
them to shake off the spell. and they
are ready for work.
In the insectory, an artificial winter
is made, with ice, and. by turning on
the cold, it suspends animation in her

She will live for months without
food; some having been kept, in cold
storage, for six months, without food.
The ladybugs are gathered in ad
vance of the melon and cabbage sea

sands upon orders from southern Cal
ifornia, where they grow melons and

POULTRY
.FNIS
FOR BETTER POULTRY STOCK
Keeping Birds Healthy and Improving
Them Can BE Done by Adoption
Of Few Systematic Rules.

In raising stock or poultry II should
be the air of everyone to keep Il
healthy and improve It. You can do b
very easily by adopting systematic
rules. These may be summed UP In
brief as follows:
Construct your houses good and
warm, so as to avoid damp floors and
afford a flood of sunshine. Sunshine
is better than medicine.
Provide a busting and scratching
place where you can bury the grain
and thus induce the fowls to take the
needful exercise.
Provide yourself with some good,
healthy fowls, never to be over three
years old, giving one cock to every
IL hens.
Give plenty of fresh air at all times,
especially in summer.
Give plenty of fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
Feed them systematically two or
three times day. Scatter the food 30
they cannot eat it too fast or without
proper exercise. Do not feed more than
they will eat up clean, or they will get
tired of that kind of feed.
Give them a variety of both dry and
cooked feed. A mixture Of cooked
meat and vegetables is good for a
morning meal.
Give soft feed in the morning and
the whole grain at night, except a lit
tie wheat and cracked corn placed IN
the scratching pens to give them ex-
ercise during the day.
Above all things, keep the house
clean and well ventilated.
Do not crowd too many into one
house. If you do, look out for dis
ease.
Keep the house, nests, etc, sprayed
with some good disinfectant, in or
der to keep down the lice and mites
Wash your roosts and bottom OF
laying nests, and whitewash once a
week in summer and once a week in
winter
Let the old and young have as large
a range as possible, the larger the bet
ter.
Do not bred too many kinds of fowls
at the same time. Better have one
breed and understand it.
Introduce new blood into your stock
every year or so, by either buying a
cockerel or a setting of eggs from
some reliable breeder.
