Destroying Army Worms
bY Use of Paris Green

The army worm is a smooth. striped
caterpillar about an inch and a quar-
ter long and a quarter of an inch In
diameter. 1t is rather dark In ap-
pearance. While normally It feeds
by night and hides by day, not being
generally noticed, as soon as II has
increased to such numbers that Its
food supply falls short 1t starts to
travel, and, becoming holder. feeds
during both day and night.
How worms may be destroyed: If
the worms have not yet attacked a
field, the most practicable way to
keep them out Is to pillow burrows In
front Of them, throwing the furrow in
the direction toward which they are
travelling. The worms will fall into
the furrow. and when this is full they
may be killed either by dragging a
log back and forth in the furrow, or
by destroying the worms in holes pre-
viously dug at interbals of twenty feet
in the bottom of the furrow. Kero-
sene poured on them in the holes will
destroy them. If the worms are al
ready in the field, the following mix
ture, which will attract the worms
and destroy them, should be spread
about. One pound of paris green (poI-
sonous), fifty pounds Of wheat bran
and the juice Of one-half dozen or
anges.
Bring this mixture to a stiff dough

Cost of Feed Biggest
Item in Stock Farming

The cost of feed is the biggest item
in stock farming. To produce cheap
ration is therefore one of the most I'M
portant factors In the business, and
the stock farmer who wishes to be
successful must learn how to reduce
his feed bill.
The Missouri experiment station re-
Gently issued a bulletin on the cost
Of crop production, showing the cost
Of putting up hay 10 be S3.3s per ton.
They did not say whether this hay
was put up In stack or nov. but the
figures Indicate that modern labor
Swing tools were used and that the
hay was well housed either in stack or
shed. 1t costs from So cents to SIPS
per ton to put corn In the silO; thus
we find that silage. on ton basis, can
be put up at from one-third to one
quarter the cost Of hay. The quality
Of silage can be controlled, while the
quality Of hay depends on the weather.

Raspberry Cane-Borer Is
Cause of Great Damage

The raspberry has several Insects
and diseases that reduce the crop
very greatly. The cane-borer Is one
that works so quietly that 1t Is not
usually noticed by the novice. The
adult beetles feed on the leaves and
do some damage In this way.
The most damage Is caused by the
young worms feeding just under the
bark and causing the cane to form
a gall. Later the worms go inside and
bore into the plth where they remain
over winter. When spring opens they
change to adults.
Spraying does not control them.
The best method Of control Is to ex-
anime the canes In the early spring
and cut out. close to the ground those
that are found infested These are
readily found on account of the gals
and swelllngs.
The infested canes must be burned
before the beetles come out. Dump
ing them in a brush pile only keeps
the beetles from finding new shoots
for a short time. Burning is the best
remedy.

Prepare Soil for
Fall-Sown Alfalfa
Late July or Early August Is
Best Time, According to
Federal Experts.

tFfersrsd BY the United States Department
CT Agricuiture)
Preparation Of the seed bed for fall
sowing Of alfalfa should begin In late
July or early August, In the opinion
Of experts Of the United States De
partinent Of Agriculture. In the
eastern alfalfa region from Pennsyl-
wanna south, September is a common
time for fall alfalfa sowing. the date
varying With local conditions. TO get
the soil settled It should be plowed
not later than early August. Then
Just before seeding time It should
be loosened up for a depth Of about
? inches. If the subsurface Is not well
packed the conditions will not be
favorable for the young alfalfa plants.
Applying Lime.
Alfalfa neads lime. II the soil Is
deficient. put on at least ton Of the
test Of air-slaked or its equivalent in
other pulverlzed forms. This can be
applied at blowing time or later, be-
fore the first narrowing, bearing In
mind that lime must be well incor-
porated with the soil to be effective.
Arrange early for the seed. Domes-

Do not forget to lnoculate the soil.
Directions and the addresses Of
sources from which bacteria can be OBJ
talned will be furnished by the De
partment Of Agriculture or your state

through your county agent. Do not
try to see how little seed you can
use and stlll obtain a satisfactory
stand. On the other hand, more than
20 pounds to the acre is unnecessary.
If the sowing is done in September
and conditions are favorable the
young plants should reach height Of
IL inches or more before winter The
crop should not be cut, but allowed to
go through the winter TO permit sue

Quantities of Milk
to Feed Young Calf
Underfeeding at Start Is
Better Than Overlooking.


Prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agricuiture)
The United States Department Of
Agriculture gives some figures on the
quantities Of milk that may be fed
10 calves at different ages. AZ birth
50pound calf needs about s pounds
day, while a 1OO-pound calf will use
IL pounds. UNDERGOING ut the start,
says the department. Is better than
overlooking. Some beginners make the
mistake Of giving the calf all Il wants.
This would probably be a good prac-
tice If the calf were fed every 2 or 8
hours, az Is the case when II runs
with the COW. However, when young
calf has been without feed for from
8 TO - hours, there is danger that II
will gorge itself II allowed to con-
sumo all It wants, which may cause
digestive trouble.
A uniform temperature Of about 90
degrees i. Is necessary II the milk
Is to agree with the calf and produce
the best results. Some feeders at
tempt 10 make up for any lack In
quality Of the milk by increasing the
quantity. For instance, they will feed
much more skim milk than whole milk
In the belief that the increased quanti-
ty will make up for the lack OF but
terfat. This is wrong, as the same
rule about overlooking holds good
with skim milk as with whole milk.
II on account of age. sourlng, or dirt,
the quality Of the milk is poor. the
quantity should be reduced rather
than Increased. The calf will not lose
so much In development through a re-
duction In feed as he would from d.
gestive disorders. A calf often can
take a relatively small quantity of bad
milk for long periods and hold Its own
and even make small gains, when
larger portion would cause digestive
trouble and even endanger the ami
mails life.

Now is the time to put a stop to
the ravages of this insect. The most
effective treatment Is spraying with
lead arsenate at the rate Of two or
three tablespoonfuls to gallon of

able quality of adhering to the leaves
for long time and retaining Its
strength throughout that time. For
these reasons 1t is much preferred to
white hellebore. the old fashioned

Indication of Acidity
Is Failure of Clover

Lime or ground limestone should be
used when the land is acid Perhaps
the best indication of acIdity is the
failure Of clover to thrive. Certain
weeds such as sheep sorrel also make
their appearance when soil becomes
acid. Ground limestone should be
used at the rate of one to two tons per
acre depending upon the needs Of the
soil. slaked lime should be spread
at the rate Of one-half ton per acre
which will be found ample for acldity
