From Woodbine, out on the North

blooming in the woods, lettuce DIE

young onions are being gathered ana
eaten by the Iowa householder who
thrifti!y or more probably careless!y

lot will be even harder to bear.
But al that Iowa is not shaking
hands with herself in any particular

was the way Of saying wholesome it
may De explained to those LnacQuainted

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

 around 4.59e-.5o0o pounds of milk per year.
 With the increased cost of, feed and Ia bor, COWS with low production are pot1 going to net the dairymen very much profit. It is the desire of every .dairyman in the state to have better c8ws, that are capable of netting a little profit yet a great many do not Feel that they can pay he prices that are being asked for them. The only hope for the farmers to get these bet tersscow is to raise them, by using good pure bred bulls whose ancestors are known to be of high producing families. A great many dairymen are using bulls to head their herds that are not improving their future dairy animals at all. Every breeder of pure bred dairy cattle realizes how irnpor- tant it is to have the best bred bull their financial conditions will permit.
 There is no cheaper way for dairy men who have either grade or pure bred herds and that cannot afford a well bred bull than by belonging to a cooperative bull association In such an organization one has the opportuni- ty. to get the use of a good pure bred bull that the individual farmer could not buy on account of the price. There are communities in every county of the state that by cooperation among neighbors could have an organiza ton their poor bulls and putting the price received from these poor bulls into three. or four good. well bred bulls.
 It is costing close on to s100 per year to keep bulls. If anyone in any community is interested in a com idea to talk it over with the county agent or to communicate with w. A. Rhea, extension dairymau at Connec- t1cut Agricultural co1legef1 Storrs.

EUROPEAN CORN BOXER.

The European corn borer (pyratus-
 ta nibilalis) is known to be present
 in thirty-five towns in the vicinity of Boston, Mass, and in two widely sep arated areas in New York state. It. has also been found in a, small area around and there. isr q general belief that it may soon be found in other states. For that reason. every one is urged to CO., operate in the control of this pest.
 This insect winters over as a cater pillar in cornsta1ks and some of the larger weeds. About the middle of May it pupates and eu1erges as a moth, sometimes as many as TOO. The cater pillars from these eggs feed upon early corn and weeds and do consid- -erable damage. About the last of July. these caterpiiiars pupate and early in August 3 mother genera ation of moths appear., These lay their eggs (this time about 9o0) on corn and weeds (principally corn). and do vast amount of damage on the stalks which is present in ye old cornstaIk or weed in the early spring may be for sl5:00o borers up to the first of September It is this cater pillar, or borer,g that passes the win ter in the corn stalks ad large garden weeds, such as pigweed, ragweed, bar1yard grass and other thick-stem m led plants. ss,: <. ....i
 As this insect passes the winter in cornstalks, and weeds, very. effective destructive u1easurers are offered. Pull burn all cornstalks, together with all old vines and all large weeds hFouehout ard around the gardens. Connecticut State Board of Asricul- ture, Leonard IT: -Hea1ey, secretary.

THE CABBAGE HOOPER.

Occasionally in some localities the cabbage 1ooper may do even greater damage than the cabbage worm. The name is derived from it's looping ha bit of walking, resembling the measuring worms in this respect.
 The adult is moth having grayish brown forewings marked with white. The rear wings are of lighter brown color The eggs about the size of a mustard seed. laid usually on the upper though occasionally on the un- der side of the leaf. The full grown larva (worm) is from I to l 3-s inches 1org. pale green, indistinctly striped with white. taking from two to four weeks to develop. There are at least two brcods here each year. The insect often attacks vegetables other than cabbages.
 Spraying the plants with lead arse nate before they head. 1 oz. in 1 gal. ot water, will prevent injury. As this caterpillar has the habit of tunne1ing into the middle of the cabbage head arsenical poisons should not be used on headed plants; insect powder or hel1ebore may be employed if treat ment is necessary after the plants have headed.-G.

HOW LICE INCREASE
 COST OF PORK MAKING

Lice add cent a pound to. the cost of producing pork This has been found in tests just completed at the expert ment farm of the United States de- partment of agriculture at BeltsviIle, Mir. T-venty-four lousy hogs were sc- cured and divided into two lots as nearly equal as to quality of animals as possible. The two lots were man aged and fed the same way with the exception that one lot was treated to prevent lice. The animals were weigh ed at regular intervals and at the end of the fattening period it was found that the hogs infested with lice cost a cent a pound more to fatten than those which were free of the; troublesome pest. The offciais of the department who had charge of x this experiment give an interesting side light in con nection with securing the lousy ani- mals- They communicated with some of the departments field men. asking them to locate lousy hogs. It was some time before a. reply was received to this surprisfHg order. After the lousy hogs were purchased the owner learn ed why, and he imnaediately built a dipping vat and began to- treat the animals to prevent .lice.e ..s

SHEEP NEED NEW PASTURES.

Now is the time 10 get the sheen en- tirely. fresh pasture: says Prof. W c. Coffey of the college of agriculture at the University of Illinois Prof. Cof- fey points out that those who continue to run their sheep on the same pas ture, given over to them during last fall and winter are in danger of get ting bad infestation of storna ch worms. This parasite is very fnjuri- ous to lambs and to avoid it the flock should be rotated over the fresh pas lures as much as possible until the lambs are old enough for market. Prof. Coffey says that the weat tIter was so :, mild last winter that doubtless many of the stomach worms waicf1 matched out last fall, lived through it. For this reason the probability of in festations in our flock is increased unless adequate preca,ition is taken

CORN EAR WORM.

Corn and tomatoes are injured by dull greenish or brownish caterpillars with indistinct stripes. which. when full grown, are about one and one-half inches long.
 It is upon the ear of the corn, where the caterpillars have eaten a large number of the kernels and silk, that the work of this insect is most ma ark ed, although they eat out long, narrow strips from the leaves
 The adult insect is a moth that lays from 800 to 5000 eggs on various cul- tivated plants and weeds. These eggs hatch in from three to eight days and the worms feed upon the plants that
