MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.
Some Cp-to-Dato Illnti About CnlUTft
Hon of tlio Soil nntl Yield a Thereof
Horticulture, Vltlcultaro and riorl
culture T this season of the
year cut worms do
more or less dam
ago to nearly all
crops, especially to
tomatoes, cabbages
and corn. When
ever sod or grassy
land is lett until
spring before being
plowed, any crop
which may bo
planted on Buch land will be
damaged by cut worms. The reason
of this is that tho worms aro nearly
full grown in tho spring, yet they
need one good meal before forming
Into pupae, a short tlmo after which
thoy come forth as night flying moths.
Tho Hfo history of the cut worms is
about this: Tho moths lay their eggs
In grass throughout the summer
months, and after a few days these
eggs hatch into small worms which
feed upon tho grass. Tho worms cast
off their skin from time to time to ac
commodate their Increase in size, and
during tho cooler weather of winter
go deeper In the ground, being dormant
for a time If tho weather is very cold.
Upon the approach of spring, the
worms come forth for a finishing touch
of growth and soon form pupae In tho
ground just below tho surface. Some
time after this tho moths aro produced,
and, after mating, the females lay tho
eggs for another brood. With most
species there is thus but ono brood n
year. Most farmers are beginning to
realize tho many advantages of fall
plowing, and where sod land especial
ly Is plowed in tho fall it will greatly
lessen the number of cut worms and
other insects on such land tho follow
ing spring. A good remedy for killing
out the cut worms in tho garden is to
make up a mixture consisting of a
quantity of bran or corn meal moist
ened with water, to which is added a
little Paris green and a little molasses
jor sugar, to give a sweetish, taste. It
Is the Paris gfeen 'hat kills the worms,
and this should bo very thoroughly
mixed with tho bran, so as to have a
uniform mixture. A spoonful of this
mixture should be placed near the
plants Just before night on the day the
plants aro set out. The cut worms
work at night and will be killed by
eating of the poisoned mixture. It is
much better, however, to place the
mixture about in various part of a field
a few days beforo planting, as it will
then kill off tho worms before any
damage 1b done. H. E. Weed,
Entomologist Mississippi Experiment
Station, Agricultural College, Miss.
Oriel" of the Cabbage
Cabbage (Drasslca oleracea) Is one of
the vegetables brought into use at an
early day, and although not so indis
pensable as the potato, is nevertheless
an esculent highly esteemed and has
assumed an Importance that gives it a
prominent position, not only in the
horticultural catalogue, but also in es
timating the productions of our coun
try. I have no statistics by which to
estimate Its value in this country, but
when wo learn that in London about
one hundred million heads aro annual
ly sold, which, at five cents a head,
would amount to $5,000,000 we may be
prepared to estimate tho amount
raised in Illinois at n sum worthy of
being taking into consideration in es
timating tho value of our productions.
Just when and where it was first
brought Into use it is not possible to
Btate now with certainty. A compara
tively recent article in Hardwicke's
Science Gossip says that the plant from
which tho varieties In use in England
originated is to bo found along the
southeast seacoast of England. But it
is certain that somo of tho varieties
were early in use on the western side
of tho continent: also that- kales or
coleworts of some kind were long In
use in Greece and Rome, as they are
frequently mentioned by Greek and
Roman writers and even directions
given for their cultivation. It Is also
certain that various species of Dras
slca are found In different parts of
the world. Cyrus Thomas.
Aastrulln Salt Ilaaln
In view of the great Interest now be
ing taken in Australian salt bush
(Atrlplex semlbaccatum), the new for
age plant for alkali soils, Director Dcvol
of tho Experiment Station at Tucson,
Arizona, sends the following brief
method of growing it:
The seeds are flat, somewhat heart
shaped, about 1-10 inch long and of a
hrownlsh or reddish green color. If cov
ered in wet soil when fresh they are apt
to rot, but sown before a rain'and light
ly covered with soil, or preferably cov
ered with grass or weeds and kept
moderately moJst they will germinate
readily. They may be started in
boxes or hotbeds and transplanted
to the fleld;butplants grown In this way
do not resist drought so well as those
planted where they are to remain.
While young tho plants require water
ing two or three times, but when well
established they will resist quite severo
droughts. Although a perennial plant
It grows so rapidly that one cutting may
be obtained the first season, and two the
following season. It will grow In soil
having more alkali than any other plant
valuable for forage, and unlike most
plants growing upon such soil it has a
prostrate habit, growing to a height of
but C to 12 inches and spreading over
several square feet of ground. Single
plants have been known to reach a
spread of 16 feet, this, too, upon very
alkaline soil. It Is estimated that from
2 to 6 tons per acre of dried hay may
be produced. Sheep and hogs relieh It
green and when mixed with about 1-3
lta weight of other bsy horses and cat
tle eat It dried.

It is almost Imposslblo to advise tho
beginner whnt variety to plant. A
variety which Is very productlvo in
ono locality may provo tho reverse In
another, sometimes even In another
field, soil, exposure and location being
different No variety will do equally
well on all soils. Reports In regard to
varieties nro very conflicting in differ
ent localities. Whllo ono grower is
satisfied and recommends a variety, an
other is disgusted and is going to dis
card it. In general, wo may say that
thoso sorts which aro successfully cul
tivated over a largo territory aro most
reliable; but ho who goes n long ways
from homo to get advice In regard to
varieties and treatment makes a seri
ous mistake. These problems nro
purely local. Tho purposo for which
we plant should bo considered, 1. e.,
whether for homo uso or for market.
For homo uso wo may consider tho
characters of a variety In this manners
1, quality, 2, yield, 3, hardiness. For
market, this order should bo roversed,
thus: 1, hardiness, 2, yield, 3, quality.
For market we want a firm berry of
good slzo and color. Of tho varieties
grown on the Experimental Farm at
Madison last summer, Warfleld ltd
them all In productiveness, yielding n
third moro than any other variety.
Then came Haverland, Cloud, Eureka,
Lady Rusk, Van Deman, Wilson and

It is a plain inhabiting insect, but it
may Inhabit very limited, flat areas, In
terspersed among more broken ana ele
vated areas. As Illustrating this habit In
Ohio, it may bo stated that In 1894, it
was found quite abundant In Cham
paign, Logan and Hardin counties, with
its greatest abundance In tho latter and
Wyandot county to tho northeast, the
two latter being of n more level topo
graphy than tho two former. This Is
fully illustrated by maps in Bulletin 69,
of tho Ohio Exp. Station. In 1895, tho
area of greatest abundanco included
only Wyandot and a portion of Hardin
counties, Champaign suffering little,"
while to the south In Green and Clark
counties, where, in 1891, it had been
found sparingly. It did not occur in
abundanco at all, thus showing that it
had drifted to tho lower and flatter
lands to tho east, except in Wyandot
and a portion of Hardin, where" tLeso
conditions nlready obtained, and over
run a wide range of practically flat
country haying a clay soil. A portion
of tho stale laying 16 thewest and north
west of Lako Erie, bolng tho ancient
bed of tho preglaclal lako, and the soil
sandy Instead of clayey, was llttlo If at
all Infested, whereas, the flat clay lands
to the south and west were, In some
localities literally overrun with these
insects. Ohio Bulletin.
Why licet Work In tho Dark.
Bees go out all day gathering honey
and work at night In the hive, building
their combs as perfectly as If an elec
tric light were there nil tho time. Why
do they prefer to work in tho dark? is
often asked. Every one knows that
honey is a liquid with no solid sugar
In it. After standing, it gradually as
sumes a crystalline appearance, or
granulates, and ultimately becomes a
solid mass. Honey has been experi
mentally enclosed In woll corked flasks,
somo of which were kept In perfect
darkness, while tho others were ex
posed to the light. The result was that
the portion exposed to the light soon
crystalizcd while that kept In tho dark
remained unchanged. Hore we seo
why the bees aro so careful to obscure
the glass windows which are placed In
hives. The existence of the young de
pends on the liquidity of the saccharine
food presented to them, and if the light
were allowed access to this, it would,
In all probability, yrovo fatal to tho
inmates of the hive. Ex.
The htrnwberrjr Iteil.
The new strawberry plant should not
be allowed to bear fruit the first sea
son. Pick off all fruit stems as soon
as they appear. Three methods of train
ing tho strawberry are In use. The hill
system, where all runners nre removed.
The narrow row, where only part of new
runners are allowed to form plants; and
the full matted row, where plants are
allowed to All all the space, excepting a
narrow path between rows. AH have
ndvocates and all have special merits,
depending on soil, climate, variety nnd
grower. The full matted row Is most
used, being easiest to manage. Guard
against too many plants In small space.
They consume moisture, suffer from
drouth and produce small berries. Each
plant should have from four to bIx in
ches square space in which to grow and
mature its fruits. M. A. Thayer.
Extent of Tree Roots. It is common
ly said that the roots of trees extend
each way aa far as their branches. But
this is a very uncertain and unreliable
rule. There are trees like the chestnut
and pines, which grow in
sandy soil, which send their roots
far down Into the subsoil, and have so
few roots near tho surface that the plow
can be run nearly up to them. The elm,
which grows best on low, wet land, has
most of Its roots near tho surface. But
It can send roots down to a depth of a
three-foot tile drain, as we once learned
to our cost, a largo elm near tho upper
end of a newly-laid tile drain com
pletely filling it after two or three
years, so that the tile had all to be
taken up. The tree was cut down and
the new tile laid, with the result that
the drain suffered no further obstruc
tion. Ex.
Nitrogenous Fertilizers. When a
soil is rich in humus it is seldom neces
sary to make any further application
of nitrogenous fertilizers, and as all
nitrogenous fertilizers are very quickly
soluble, and are soon lost to the soil
by both leaching and volatilizing, they
should never be used until the crop
has made a considerable growth.

DISCIPLINE IN ALGIERS.
French Soldier Tortured to Heath Fo
Slight OfTrnre.
Anothor monstrous enso of Algerian
military discipline is reported. Tho
victim this tlmo was a soldier named
Cheymol, brother of M. Paul Choymol,
sayfl n ParlB dispatch to tho London
Now8. Ho was sent, for some breach
of rules, to a disciplinary company.
ThlB means a sort of penal servitude
of tho many fearful kinds that hnvo
survived tho revolution,
Tho namo pf Uio sergeant sot over
Cheymol was Pcrrln. To humble him,
Perrln ordered him to bo tictl by the
wrists to a horse's tn.il, which was to bo
kept going at a brisk paco until tho
sergeant cried "enough!" After n long
spoil of this exercise Choymol fell.
Tho horso nevertheless was given rein
aud whip until It was evldont that It
was dragging not a living man, but a
corpse.
A complaint has been cent by Uio
brother to tho war minister, but, as
thero was no broach of rulo, he will
probably wash his hands of tho nffalr.
M. Ernest Roche, however, has given
notice of an interpellation, bo that in
quiry will bo made between Oils nnd
Uio 17th of May, when, tho chamber
reassembles, of tho head of tho corps
to which Private Cheymol belonged.
Deputy Itouanet, who was for Uireo
years In an African regiment which
was not a disciplinary one, says that it
was a hell upon enrth. Tho officers
nnd non-commissioned officers wcro
brutalized by absinthe, by having no
check of public opinion on tholr bad
passions nnd by tho arrogance aris
ing from finding themselves masters
of the Arabs.
He, too, was nttachod by tho wrists
to a horse's tall nntl had thus to go
all tho way in a blazing sun from
Constantino to Batna, and thenco to
Biskra. The worst feature of this tor
ture is tho sense of loss of equilibrium.
It is impossible to steady one's Belf,
tho arms being kept on tho stretch,
for care is taken to make tho horso
go at a pace which obliges the soldier
tied to Its tall to keep at a trot. He
Is absolutely powerless to provent
himself falling forward If he stumbles
against a stone and when ho I alls ho
cannot rise unless the sergeant gives
the order to the soldier riding tho
horse to stop.
Bad as were the physical conditions,
tho moral, M. Rouanet Bays, were a
thousand times worse. Thero was no
more prolific school of crlmo than tho
Algerian regimonts. "WI1030 is tho
fault?" I asked. "The fault," was the
reply, "Is now that of parliament,
which can do as it likes, but It was
that old rascal, Louis Philippe, who
invented the discipline of the African
regiment to get rid of revolutionists
in tho army.
"Tho first disciplinary uso made of
Algeria wbb in sending thero, soon
after 1830, the whole battalion of the
Charter, which rose against Charles
X., and was not satisfied to hear that
the bourgeolse monarchy was the best
of republics."

hlTL I set watch on the little pests,

then It Is no trouble at all to get them.
'In tho first place, I found that a
mole never cornea straight to tho top

ond you will seo the ground agitated
for some time before he throwe up his
hill. If you step .within twenty feet
of him when he cornea to the top he
will Instantly stop work and run. It's
no use to try to catch him then.
"But a mole Is the victim of habit.
If he is disturbed at his work at 2
o'cloclc to-day he will not como back
till exactly 2 o'clock to-morrow. You
can set a watch by him and depend on
Its being right. "Well, I watch around
my berry patch and take the time
whenever I disturb Mr. Mole. The next
day when It Is time for him to como
back I take my tation near the hole.
As eoon as he throws up his llttlo
mound I plant my foot behind him and
close up his hole. Then all I have to
do is to scoop him out of the dirt and
drop him in my pocket, kicking and
scratching Hko a good fellow. I kill
him, stretch his skin on a shingle, and
a man here in this city pays mo $1
