Some Cp-to-Date WnU About Caltltra
tlon of the Soil and Yield Thereof
Ucrtlcolture, Yitlcoltore and Flori
caltore. Grain Moth and Its Detraction.
O other insect Id
Maryland and the
South has done so
much damage to
stored wheat and
corn as has the lit
tle insect known as
the grain moth. It
is also known as
the "white fly."
"weevil," "stack
fly." etc. In Mary
land it is especially injurious to stored
wheat, and very often so injures the
seed that it is unfit for planting. Corn
coming from the South, especially the
flint variety, is apt to be full of these
insects. Recently a manufacturer of
hominy in Baltimore told me they had
much trouble from this insect in their
corn. An exporter of grain also told
me they had to be on the constant
lookout for this pest in every cargo of
corn or wheat received from the South.
Last fall and winter, while attending
the various farmers' institutes in the
different counties, almost invariably
this pest came up for discussion. It
was originally imported from Europa
by the early settlers of Virginia in
their supplies of wheat brought from
the old country. Once established on
American soil, it has spread far and
wide throughout the United States,
Texas, perhaps, suffering more than
any other state from its ravages. Much
unnecessary loss is incurred each sea
son simply from a lack of information
concerning its habits and remedies
for its destruction. It is not difficult
to detect the presence of this insect
in wheat and corn in store. The grain
is light and very often peppered full of
little round holes about the size of a
pin's head, the interior of the grain
having been eaten out by the young of
the moth. Very often the attack is so
bad that nothing but an empty hull is
left. The parent insect responsible
for this destruction is a small gray
moth, resembling a clothes moth, and
measures only about half an inch with
its wings spread. It has a satiny lus
ter, and its hind wings are deeply
fringed. The eggs are deposited upon
the grain both in the field and in the
granary. Usually about a week passes
before the egg hatches. The ycung
worm immediately eats its way into
the kernel, where it feeds about three
weeks before maturity is reached. It
then transforms to a pupa, from which
the adult moth emerges a little later.
It passes the winter in barns, gran
aries, storehouses, etc., and when es
tablished in an elevator or granary
will breed generation after generation.
Soon after harvest the moth flies out
from the granaries to the fields and
deposits her eggs upon wheat still in
shock or stack. The larva passes
through the thresher in the grain un
hurt, and is carried back to the gran
ary, etc. It is plain from these facts
that if granaries are kept free from
this pest the shocks will not become
infested in the fields. If an individual
farmer, however, takes the trouble to
disinfect his granary, his wheat shocks
will be infested from moths coming
from the storehouses of his neighbors,
provided he does not thresh very soon
after harvest or before the eggs hatch
and the larvae penetrate the grain. 1
know there is more or less difficulty in
getting a thresher at the proper time,
and where the wheat must be left in
the fields the farmer should disinfect
his granary soon after the wheat is
stored. This insect has several nat
ural enemies, and I have bred several
small-winged parasites from it. No
doubt these agents keep it in check
to a limited extent; but we must look
to other sources for more efficient rem
edies. The most satisfactory remedy
now known is from the fumes of bi
sulphide ot carbon. This chemical is
a very inflammable, volatile, foul
smelling liquid, as clear as water, with
a vapor so much heavier than air it
will penetrate every possible crack and
crevice in a storehouse or bin. It can
be thrown directly upon the grain
without injuring its vitality or its edi
ble qualities. Many persons hesitate
about using this bisulphide of carbon,
for fear of fire or injury to the grain.
I havo never heard of a case where a
fire was caused by the use of this sub
stance, or where grain was injured,
where it was used cautiously. Gun
powder, gasoline, kerosene, etc., are
dangerously explosive when carelessly
bandied; and so is bisulphide of car
bon. This latter is not explosive in
the same sense as gunpowder; but, like
gasoline and kerosene, its fumes must
be mechanically mixed with the air be
fore it will cause an explosion. There
is no danger whatever if used properly.
One pound of bisulphide of carbon to
every one hundred bushels of grain is
all that Is necessary for the destruction
of insects. It is best to place the ma
terial in shallow dishes or pans upon
the grain, and then close the bin tight
ly for at least twenty-four hours. Many
persons make a mistake by not using
enough of the substance, and then say
it is of no account. It is an easy mat
ter to estimate the number of bushels
of grain in any enclosure, and then it
is not a difficult task to calculate how
many pounds of bisulphide should be
applied. If it is desired to fumigate
empty bins, etc., one pound of the
chemical should be used for every 1,000
cubic feet of air space. Bisulphide of
carbon is not expensive, and can be
bought in twenty-five and fifty-pound
cans at ten cents per pound, or in less
quantities at a little more per pound.
While in Dorchester county a few
weeks ago I was told that many per
sons in that section covered the bot
toms of their granaries or bins with
Mexican tea or American worniseed
(Chenopodium ambrosioides) before
the grain was stored. This weed is
known in that county as Jerusalem
oak, and has a very peculiar odor, espe
cially when dry. It is snnnnsprl thnt i
the moth is kept from the grain by the
odor that is emitted.
Whitening Peach Trees.
The old New England practice of
whitewashing fruit trees seems likely
to come into vogue again. The Mis
souri experiment station in a recent
bulletin says: Even though the pro
portional difference between the tem
peratures recorded under the different
colors is not uniform, it is evident th.it
the darker colors absorb much more
heat than the lighter ones. When the
sun was not shining the various ther
mometers registered alike. At one
time, during bright sunshine, r. differ
ence of 21 degrees was recorded be
tween the white covered and the purple
covered thermometers. A difference
of 10 to 15 degrees was frequently not
ed between these two. This is suffi
cient to indicate that we might expect
considerable difference m the growth
and time of flowering of whitened and
unwhltened peach trees.
The expense ot whitening Is not
great. A common lime whitewash was
at first used, but it washed off badly
during rainy weather. Finally a white
wash of lime with one-fifth skimmilk
added to the water, was tried with
jmuch more satisfactory results. About
one pound of salt was also dissolved
In each bucketful of the whitewash.
Four applications of this wash, applied
during the winter and spring, are suf
ficient to keep the peach trees thor
oughly whitened. The first whitening
should be done early in winter, short
ly before Christmas. The wash may
be sprayed on with almost any kind
of a spray pump. We found the Bor
deaux nozzle to be satisfactory, as a
solid stream could readily be turned
on if the lime clogged the nozzle. The
whitening should be repeated as often
as the lime is washed off by rains. A
good wash, however, will adhere well
for weeks. The trees need two spray
ings to begin with, just as wood needs
two coats of paint in order to cover it
well. Two subsequent sprayings are
sufficient. The whitewash should be
made as thick as can be sprayed
through a Bordeaux nozzle. We used
a small bucket spray pump and applied
about one-half a bucketful, to a tree,
at each spraying. The time required to
apply the whitewash will vary from
five to ten minutes, according to the
kind of pump and to the size of the
trees. The more trees that are spray
ed, the cheaper it can be done per tree.
Altogether, the cost need not exceed
ten cents per tree for the winter. As
fungicides are more safely applied to
peaches when they are dormant than
when they are in leaf, we tried adding
copper sulphate to the whitewash. The
copper sulphate was dissolved in the
liquid used to thin the lime, at the rate
of one pound to ten gallons. This dis
colored the whitewash somewhat, and
another spraying of the wash without
copper sulphate was given to cover it.
We are not yet ready to report on the
efficacy of the winter application of
fungicides for the diseases of the
peach, tt should not be believed that
the winter whitening of the peach will
be found a reliable prevention of all
classes of injuries causetl by cold
weather; yet, from the results already
given, it is clear that It tends to check
swelling of the buds on warm days of
winter, and to retard blossoming in
spring. We have not been able to de
tect any injury to the trees by this
practice. Wherever peach buds are
subject to winter killing by fluctuating
temperatures and where their flowers
are frequently killed by the late spring
frosts, we suggest that whitening be
tried on a small scale at least.
Women Horticulturist).
Women are working successfully in
almost every field. Vick's Magazine
states that according to the census of
1S90 there were 312 commercial green
houses, or about one in fifteen, owned
and managed by women. We have a
personal acquaintance with several
women who are successful retail flor
ists. Other women, to our knowledge,
are making a success of raising car
nations and other flowers for tnc
wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business of raising and
selling flowers is beset by much care
and labor that do not come under the
head of poetry. And yet nearly all
women florists that we have met were
led into the business because they first
of all loved flowers. It adds to the de
light and success of any occupation if
one has a love therefor. There is no
question that, as a rule, women have a
greater fondness than men for flowers.
Why, therefore, should they not en
gage in growing and handling them for
profit? The rougher work about flower
raising, such as the care of greenhouse
furnaces, the handling of soil and ma
nure and the like, can easily be done
by men who work for moderate wages.
If women are successful as florists they
are equally so as raisers of vegetables
and smaller fruits, especially strawber
ries; they direct the rougher work, help
to prepare the produce for customers,
and perhaps take in hand the selling,
thus keeping closely in touch with the
state of the market. Generally speak
ing, we think that the raising of straw
berries near our best markets is further
from being overdone than that of al
most any other kind of produce. The
consumption is enormous and fresh
fruit brought quickly from the fields,
vrithout a large distance intervening,
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much of the work of
picking and handling small fruits is
suited to be done by women.
Selling Fresh KgRg.
It is a fact that nine-tenths of the
residents of cities do not know where
to buy strictly fresh eggs, says Amer
ican Poultry Keeper. This is no doubt
a strange assertion to make in the
face of the fact that thousands of
dozens of fresh eggs are sold in this
country every day, and especially when
the purchaser gets them from "an old
farmer." But even the old farmer is
not always any wiser than the cus
tomer, allowing for producing them
himself with the aid of his hens, but
some old farmers buy eggs or bring
them to market for their neighbors.
There is a great deal of "faith" in buy
ing eggs, and much depends on "con
fidence" and from whom they are pur
chased. A party who had a large flock
supplied his brother in the city. Soon
the brother's next door neighbor re
quested that ho be supplied, and soon
after several other neighbors desired
a like favor. All of them were willing
to pay extra for the eggs, as they had
confidence in the one who sold Ahem.
He was compelled to refuse soe of
the would-be customers, from lack ot
supply, which only made his eggs the
more desirable. Now, the market was
amply supplied with "fresh" egg3, but
that fact did not alter the circum
stances so far as he was concerned.
Cannot the readers learn a valuable
lesson from this experience?
Profit in Pork. It can be set down
as a rule that the largest profit in rais
ing pork will result from keeping only
the best breeds constantly in a growing
condition from the time they are born
until slaughtered. Have a good field of
clover for pasture during the summer
and as soon as wheat threshing is over
allow tliem the freedom of the orchard;
screenings, small potatoes, pumpkins,
and other unmarketable products, and
thus utilize what would otherwise be
wasted. After the first frost shut them
up and feed corn, but let them have an
abundant supply of ashes and sait,
which should be kept in a small box in
the corner of the pen. A liberal sup
ply of charcoal is also good for them.
When there is a good bed of coals in
the stove throw three or four fire shov
elsful into the swill bucket and it will
aid in promoting digestion. When fat
tening, quiet and a clean, dry bed are
indispensable in making pork raising
profitable. Colman's Rural World.
Poor Stock not Economy. Economy
is impossible witli one owning poor
milching stock, for the attempt will
only make them the more unprofitable.
True economy will exist in getting a
herd of one-third fewer cows which will
give the yield he has been receiving.
With such a herd the economy esista
in better feeding than ever. Ex.
Cotton Bead Meala.
Charles D. Woods, director of the
Maine experiment station, says: Much
has been said and written relative to
the use of cotton-seed meal as a cattle
food. Nearly all investigators agree lu
giving it a high value and urge dairy
men to use this material not only be
cause it Is a cheap source of protein
but because it also has a high manur
!al value. Practical feeders differ
greatly in their estimates of cotton
seed meal. Some seem to use it very
satisfactorily for a while and latter
conclude that the feed Is not well
adapted for their purposes. Occasion
ally a feeder observes that the health
of his animals is affected by the feed
ing of cotton-seed too freely, and it
sometimes happens that even after ani
mals have been fed for months with
apparent success that they are injured
by its continued use. It has also hap
pened that cows fed upon cotton-seed
meal do well for a time and that later
the milk flow is diminished without ap
parent cause. There are at present no
other concentrated feeding stuffs which
vary so much in composition as cotton-seed
meals from different sources
and different mills. Within three weeks
the station has examined samples vary
ing from 22 per cent to over 53 per cent
of protein. This great variation in dif
ferent lots of cotton-seed meal may ex
plain the different estimates of differ
ent practical feeders and of the same
feeders at different times. If a cow is
fed a cotton-seed meal containing 26
per cent protein and is then fed an
equal weight of meal containing 52 per
cent, it is evident that the amount of
protein which she receives will have
been doubled by the change. If she has
been fed up to her full capacity in the
first instance, such an increase must re
sult disastrously. On the other hand,
changing from a cotton-seed of high
protein content to one of low protein
content would diminish the milk flow
unless the amount of meal fed is cor
respondingly increased. If it Is a cor
rect supposition that much of the trou
ble arising from the use of cotton-seed
meal is due to its varying in composi
tion, this can be readily overcome by
the feeder. Cotton-seed meal like most
concentrated feeding stuffs cannot be
legally sold in the state of Maine un
less the chemical composition Is stated
upon the package. From the known
composition of different lots it will be
possible to so adjust the amount fed
that the size of the ration as measured
by its content of protein will be kept
unchanged. The variations in compos
ition are so great and the matter is
such a serious one to the consumer that
he, for his own protection, should re
fuse to purchase concentrated commer
cial feeding stuffs which are not licens
ed as required by law.
Too Much Grain Food.
At this time of year we hear a great
deal about indigestion, and will hear
more about it as the season grows
colder and the birds are more closely
confined. For several years we have
had no trouble in this direction, for we
have followed the plan of giving a
breakfast of soft food scalded the
night before and allowed to cook by its
own heat over night. We believe this
to be a complete preventative of indi
gestion. The feeding of corn through
the whole year, or, in fact, the feed
ing of any grain continuously, will
bring on indigestion. The indigestion
will make itself manifested in various
ways. One of these is in the form of
constipation, the bird apparently keen
ly suffering. The owner too often does
not know that anything is the matter,
but he would, if he inspected his poul
try, find that such birds showed no in
clination to run about, preferring to
sit down or to hover in some sheltered
position. This stage is followed by
that of great looseness, and the poultry
man frequently thinks he has cholera
in his flock. The third stage is that
where the coop becomes filled with
sour, rancid, bad-smelling food and
water. It will generally be found that
when this stage is reached the case is
hopeless, which is frequently true in
the second stage. The whole trouble is
in the feeding.
Value of Tnlirrcnlin.
The Minnesota experiment station
has published a bulletin on tuberculo
sis, which is extremely valuable, 535-3
Our Grange Homes. Arguments which
have been used against the tuberculin
test are mentioned and refuted, and it
is shown that where there is a possi
bility of danger there is danger. An
apparently sound udder does not guar
antee non-tuberculous milk. The pre
ponderance of tuberculosis exists under
poor stable conditions with poor ven
tilation, but good stables and ventila
tion do not necessarily prevent infec
tion. The tuberculin test is both ac
curate and practical, and it is not in
jurious to the health of a sound an
imal. With those that are tubercu
lous it may have a curative effect when
the infection has been recent or is of
limited extent, and it may aid a ten
dency to recover in other cases. Tho
author is of the opinion that the tuber
culin test should be made a condition
of the granting of licenses to sell, and
should be made twice a year. Only
tested bulls should be used, and calves
from tuberculous mothers should be
'reared upon milk from non-tuberculous
cows or upon sterilized milk. Relative
to the subject of tuberculous attendants
for cattle the author thinks that the
danger from this source has been over
estimated. Potash. Sandy soils are always de
ficient in potash. Even if they had this
mineral they have usually so little
vegetable matter that the potash forms
an insoluble compound, by uniting
with the sand. The potash in caustic
ashes dissolve the silicate of potash,
and also helps itself until its caustic
properties are lost. But old leached
afhes are often quite as beneficial to
sandy soils as are unleached. They al
ways contain some potash and some
phosphate, which the water used for
leaching would not dissolve. But they
also usually contain some ammonia,
taken from the air, and which makes
its potash a nitrate of potash and a
very powerful fertilizer. Ex.
Hog Raising. The two most essen
tial factors in this subject are intelli
gent breeding and feeding.,Every youns
breeder, and old one as well, should
make a thorough study of feeding swine
and how to balance properly the ra
tions so as to develop every part alike.
This, with the proper selection, mating
and breeding, have transformed the
original scrub to our present high
standard and finely-improved swine a
transformation which is now going on
more rapidly than ever before, and the
breeder who does not realize this will
goon be left far in the dim, smoky dis
tance. Ex.
An impecunious couple were discov
ered in a piano-box which was being
loaded on a freight car at Seattle. The
box was addressed to a Boston firm and
vras well provided with provisions.
An Increased percentage of fat in
the milk increases the quantity ot
cheese which may be made per 100
pounds of milk in most cases.
Do not feed corn during hot weather.
Professor Holraea.
Prof. George Frederick Holmes of
the university of Virginia, who haa
just died at the age of seventy-seven
years, was a native of England. '"He
was a brilliant man," says the Baltimore-American.
"He was the second
oldest member of the faculty, and was
noted for his remarkablo promptness
in attending his classes, missing not
moro than five lectures during his
forty years' term of office. He was
retired from work at the beginning of
this session, being unable to go with
his lectures longer on account of fail
ing sight and bodily strength. His
ability as a writer and critic was
marked, he having written innumer
able essays on political questions and
numerous school books, particularly
for use in southern school and colleges."

Poe Not a Drunkard.
Major Drury, who lives at a histor
ical old seat on the James river, a few
miles below Richmond, was a school
fellow and personal friend of Edgar
Allan Poe. During the poet's short
and sad life Major Drury was his
staunch friend, and, although poor
himself at that time, he often helped
him financially. He says that Poe
was not a drunkard, as has often been
charged, but, on the contrary, seldom
drank spirituous liquors.
