Editor Tribune: The "Ameri can Florist" for June 1st, gives the following remedy for destruction of cut worms, which seems to be rea sonable, and as I hear much com plaint of the ravages of these pests this season, it is worth while to ry it: Paris green 3 lbs., sugar 3 bs., wheat bran 80 lbs. Mix dry, and sift on the ground inhabited by the worms. For small gardens and flower beds about one-twelfth of this quantity would probably be ample. Yours truly, F. E. Bullard. FAIR "WARNING. As one of the indignant citizens whose slumber was assaulted by the horrible dim of the charivari performance last night, I would most anxiously wish to know it it is necessary for a citizen to file a complaint before our officers will act in the matter of. suppressing; this lawlessness. If this is needed I shall in the future know how to proceed, and an information will be jgrompl31odithtlie.prjpjer officers. This a fair warning. -Second Street.

He also had a talk with them concerning- the pro ject to organize on the South Platte. They at first looked upon the plan with suspicion on account ot the river going dry during the summer months. But in considering a system of reservoirs to utilize the spring, fall and winter flow, they were favorably impressed, as they have great taith in the reservoir plan.

Keith Co.- News. Farmings by irrigation you use water when you want it; depending" upon rainfall you use it when you can get it. There is a distinction and a difference here that is quite fully appreciated. But it is still growing upon the people, and it will one day result in a windmill and reservoir system of supple mentary irrigation for a large scope ot country that regularly receives an adequate annual rainfall, but which in point of time is never properly apportioned so as to pro duce tne best effects in the cultiva tion of the crops grown on those lands. This is a feature of irriga tion that is receiving the attention of thinking" men to-day as much as is any of the seemingly more im portant features.

A dry. open win ter has been very favorable to the propagation of insect life in all its varied forms. It demonstrates the need of active measures in the hands of intelligent farmers for the protection of grains and fruits from the depredations of these hungry hordes. Readers of agricultural papers have opportunity to become acquainted with the most approved methods of combating these pests through the use of poisons. But, do they practice what they know? That is the most serious question of all. It is the same old circum stance: "One man can lead the pony to the brink, but twenty thousand cannot make him drink." It is one thing" to get the farmer to read and to know, but it is quite another to get him to act. But progress is continually being" made along" this and kindred lines with the average farmer, and it is well "St that it is so, for with the advance ment of agriculture in any country the obstacles to be overcome never cease to multiply. It is out of the question for human ingenuity to eliminate these difficulties as they arise, but they can be kept in check and it is the farmer's business to see that this is done. Nebraska Farmer.
