Grain Moth and Its Detraction.O other insect IdMaryland and theSouth has done somuch damage tostored wheat andcorn as has the lit-

tle insect known asthe grain moth. Itis also known asthe "white fly.""weevil," "stackfly." etc. In Mary-

land it is especially injurious to storedwheat, and very often so injures theseed that it is unfit for planting. Corncoming from the South, especially theflint variety, is apt to be full of theseinsects. Recently a manufacturer ofhominy in Baltimore told me they hadmuch trouble from this insect in theircorn. An exporter of grain also toldme they had to be on the constantlookout for this pest in every cargo ofcorn or wheat received from the South.Last fall and winter, while attendingthe various farmers' institutes in thedifferent counties, almost invariablythis pest came up for discussion. Itwas originally imported from Europaby the early settlers of Virginia intheir supplies of wheat brought fromthe old country. Once established onAmerican soil, it has spread far andwide throughout the United States,Texas, perhaps, suffering more thanany other state from its ravages. Muchunnecessary loss is incurred each sea-son simply from a lack of informationconcerning its habits and remediesfor its destruction. It is not difficultto detect the presence of this insectin wheat and corn in store. The grainis light and very often peppered full oflittle round holes about the size of apin's head, the interior of the grainhaving been eaten out by the young ofthe moth. Very often the attack is sobad that nothing but an empty hull isleft. The parent insect responsiblefor this destruction is a small graymoth, resembling a clothes moth, andmeasures only about half an inch withits wings spread. It has a satiny lus-

ter, and its hind wings are deeplyfringed. The eggs are deposited uponthe grain both in the field and in thegranary. Usually about a week passesbefore the egg hatches. The ycungworm immediately eats its way intothe kernel, where it feeds about threeweeks before maturity is reached. Itthen transforms to a pupa, from whichthe adult moth emerges a little later.It passes the winter in barns, gran-aries, storehouses, etc., and when es-

tablished in an elevator or granarywill breed generation after generation.Soon after harvest the moth flies outfrom the granaries to the fields anddeposits her eggs upon wheat still inshock or stack. The larva passesthrough the thresher in the grain un-

hurt, and is carried back to the gran-ary, etc. It is plain from these factsthat if granaries are kept free fromthis pest the shocks will not becomeinfested in the fields. If an individualfarmer, however, takes the trouble todisinfect his granary, his wheat shockswill be infested from moths comingfrom the storehouses of his neighbors,provided he does not thresh very soonafter harvest or before the eggs hatchand the larvae penetrate the grain. 1

know there is more or less difficulty ingetting a thresher at the proper time,and where the wheat must be left inthe fields the farmer should disinfecthis granary soon after the wheat isstored. This insect has several nat-ural enemies, and I have bred severalsmall-winge- d parasites from it. Nodoubt these agents keep it in checkto a limited extent; but we must look-t-o

other sources for more efficient rem-edies. The most satisfactory remedynow known is from the fumes of bi-

sulphide ot carbon. This chemical isa very inflammable, volatile, foul-smelli- ng

liquid, as clear as water, witha vapor so much heavier than air itwill penetrate every possible crack andcrevice in a storehouse or bin. It canbe thrown directly upon the grainwithout injuring its vitality or its edi-

ble qualities. Many persons hesitateabout using this bisulphide of carbon,for fear of fire or injury to the grain.I havo never heard of a case where afire was caused by the use of this sub-stance, or where grain was injured,where it was used cautiously. Gun-powder, gasoline, kerosene, etc., aredangerously explosive when carelesslybandied; and so is bisulphide of car-bon. This latter is not explosive inthe same sense as gunpowder; but, likegasoline and kerosene, its fumes mustbe mechanically mixed with the air be-

fore it will cause an explosion. Thereis no danger whatever if used properly.One pound of bisulphide of carbon toevery one hundred bushels of grain isall that Is necessary for the destructionof insects. It is best to place the ma-

terial in shallow dishes or pans uponthe grain, and then close the bin tight-ly for at least twenty-fou- r hours. Manypersons make a mistake by not usingenough of the substance, and then sayit is of no account. It is an easy mat-ter to estimate the number of bushelsof grain in any enclosure, and then itis not a difficult task to calculate howmany pounds of bisulphide should beapplied. If it is desired to fumigateempty bins, etc., one pound of thechemical should be used for every 1,000cubic feet of air space. Bisulphide ofcarbon is not expensive, and can bebought in twenty-fiv- e and fifty-pou- nd

cans at ten cents per pound, or in lessquantities at a little more per pound.While in Dorchester county a fewweeks ago I was told that many per-sons in that section covered the bot-toms of their granaries or bins withMexican tea or American worniseed(Chenopodium ambrosioides) beforethe grain was stored. This weed isknown in that county as Jerusalemoak, and has a very peculiar odor, especially when dry. It is snnnnsprl thnt i

the moth is kept from the grain by theodor that is emitted.

Whitening Peach Trees.The old New England practice of

whitewashing fruit trees seems likelyto come into vogue again. The Mis-souri experiment station in a recentbulletin says: Even though the pro-portional difference between the tem-peratures recorded under the differentcolors is not uniform, it is evident th.itthe darker colors absorb much moreheat than the lighter ones. When thesun was not shining the various ther-mometers registered alike. At onetime, during bright sunshine, r. differ-ence of 21 degrees was recorded be-

tween the white covered and the purplecovered thermometers. A differenceof 10 to 15 degrees was frequently not-ed between these two. This is suff-icient to indicate that we might expectconsiderable difference m the growthand time of flowering of whitened andunwhltened peach trees.

The expense ot whitening Is not

great. A common lime whitewash wasat first used, but it washed off badlyduring rainy weather. Finally a white-wash of lime with one-fif- th skimmilkadded to the water, was tried with

jmuch more satisfactory results. Aboutone pound of salt was also dissolvedIn each bucketful of the whitewash.Four applications of this wash, appliedduring the winter and spring, are suf-ficient to keep the peach trees thor-oughly whitened. The first whiteningshould be done early in winter, short-ly before Christmas. The wash maybe sprayed on with almost any kindof a spray pump. We found the Bor-deaux nozzle to be satisfactory, as asolid stream could readily be turnedon if the lime clogged the nozzle. Thewhitening should be repeated as oftenas the lime is washed off by rains. Agood wash, however, will adhere wellfor weeks. The trees need two spray-ings to begin with, just as wood needstwo coats of paint in order to cover itwell. Two subsequent sprayings aresufficient. The whitewash should bemade as thick as can be sprayedthrough a Bordeaux nozzle. We useda small bucket spray pump and appliedabout one-ha- lf a bucketful, to a tree,at each spraying. The time required toapply the whitewash will vary fromfive to ten minutes, according to thekind of pump and to the size of thetrees. The more trees that are spray-ed, the cheaper it can be done per tree.Altogether, the cost need not exceedten cents per tree for the winter. Asfungicides are more safely applied topeaches when they are dormant thanwhen they are in leaf, we tried addingcopper sulphate to the whitewash. Thecopper sulphate was dissolved in theliquid used to thin the lime, at the rateof one pound to ten gallons. This dis-

colored the whitewash somewhat, andanother spraying of the wash withoutcopper sulphate was given to cover it.We are not yet ready to report on theefficacy of the winter application offungicides for the diseases of thepeach, tt should not be believed thatthe winter whitening of the peach willbe found a reliable prevention of allclasses of injuries causetl by coldweather; yet, from the results alreadygiven, it is clear that It tends to checkswelling of the buds on warm days ofwinter, and to retard blossoming inspring. We have not been able to de-

tect any injury to the trees by thispractice. Wherever peach buds aresubject to winter killing by fluctuatingtemperatures and where their flowersare frequently killed by the late springfrosts, we suggest that whitening betried on a small scale at least.

Women Horticulturist).Women are working successfully in

almost every field. Vick's Magazinestates that according to the census of1S90 there were 312 commercial green-houses, or about one in fifteen, ownedand managed by women. We have apersonal acquaintance with severalwomen who are successful retail flor-

ists. Other women, to our knowledge,are making a success of raising car-nations and other flowers for tncwholesale trade. These people soonlearn that the business of raising andselling flowers is beset by much careand labor that do not come under thehead of poetry. And yet nearly allwomen florists that we have met wereled into the business because they firstof all loved flowers. It adds to the de-

light and success of any occupation ifone has a love therefor. There is noquestion that, as a rule, women have agreater fondness than men for flowers.Why, therefore, should they not en-

gage in growing and handling them forprofit? The rougher work about flowerraising, such as the care of greenhousefurnaces, the handling of soil and ma-

nure and the like, can easily be doneby men who work for moderate wages.If women are successful as florists theyare equally so as raisers of vegetablesand smaller fruits, especially strawber-ries; they direct the rougher work, helpto prepare the produce for customers,and perhaps take in hand the selling,thus keeping closely in touch with thestate of the market. Generally speak-ing, we think that the raising of straw-berries near our best markets is furtherfrom being overdone than that of al-

most any other kind of produce. Theconsumption is enormous and freshfruit brought quickly from the fields,vrithout a large distance intervening,always will sell considerably higherthan fruit long from the vines that hasbeen shipped. Much of the work ofpicking and handling small fruits issuited to be done by women.

Selling Fresh KgRg.

It is a fact that nine-tent- hs of theresidents of cities do not know whereto buy strictly fresh eggs, says Amer-

ican Poultry Keeper. This is no doubta strange assertion to make in theface of the fact that thousands ofdozens of fresh eggs are sold in thiscountry every day, and especially whenthe purchaser gets them from "an oldfarmer." But even the old farmer isnot always any wiser than the cus-

tomer, allowing for producing themhimself with the aid of his hens, butsome old farmers buy eggs or bringthem 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 flocksupplied his brother in the city. Soonthe brother's next door neighbor re-quested that ho be supplied, and soonafter several other neighbors desireda like favor. All of them were willingto pay extra for the eggs, as they hadconfidence in the one who sold Ahem.He was compelled to refuse soe ofthe would-b- e customers, from lack otsupply, which only made his eggs themore desirable. Now, the market wasamply supplied with "fresh" egg3, butthat fact did not alter the circum-stances so far as he was concerned.Cannot the readers learn a valuablelesson from this experience?

Profit in Pork. It can be set downas a rule that the largest profit in rais-ing pork will result from keeping onlythe best breeds constantly in a growingcondition from the time they are bornuntil slaughtered. Have a good field ofclover for pasture during the summerand as soon as wheat threshing is overallow tliem the freedom of the orchard;screenings, small potatoes, pumpkins,and other unmarketable products, andthus utilize what would otherwise bewasted. After the first frost shut themup and feed corn, but let them have anabundant supply of ashes and sait,which should be kept in a small box inthe corner of the pen. A liberal sup-ply of charcoal is also good for them.When there is a good bed of coals inthe stove throw three or four fire shov-elsf- ul

into the swill bucket and it willaid in promoting digestion. When fat-tening, quiet and a clean, dry bed areindispensable in making pork raisingprofitable. Colman's Rural World.

Poor Stock not Economy. Economyis impossible witli one owning poormilching stock, for the attempt willonly make them the more unprofitable.True economy will exist in getting aherd of one-thi- rd fewer cows which willgive the yield he has been receiving.With such a herd the economy esistain better feeding than ever. Ex.

Cotton Bead Meala.Charles D. Woods, director of the

Maine experiment station, says: Muchhas been said and written relative tothe use of cotton-see- d meal as a cattlefood. Nearly all investigators agree lugiving it a high value and urge dairy-men to use this material not only be-

cause it Is a cheap source of proteinbut because it also has a high manur-!- al

value. Practical feeders differgreatly in their estimates of cotton-seed meal. Some seem to use it verysatisfactorily for a while and latterconclude that the feed Is not welladapted for their purposes. Occasion-ally a feeder observes that the healthof his animals is affected by the feed-ing of cotton-see- d too freely, and itsometimes happens that even after ani-mals have been fed for months withapparent success that they are injuredby its continued use. It has also hap-pened that cows fed upon cotton-see- d

meal do well for a time and that laterthe milk flow is diminished without ap-

parent cause. There are at present noother concentrated feeding stuffs whichvary so much in composition as cotto-

n-seed meals from different sourcesand different mills. Within three weeksthe station has examined samples vary-ing from 22 per cent to over 53 per centof protein. This great variation in dif-

ferent lots of cotton-see- d meal may ex-

plain the different estimates of differ-ent practical feeders and of the samefeeders at different times. If a cow isfed a cotton-see- d meal containing 26per cent protein and is then fed anequal weight of meal containing 52 percent, it is evident that the amount ofprotein which she receives will havebeen doubled by the change. If she hasbeen fed up to her full capacity in thefirst instance, such an increase must re-

sult disastrously. On the other hand,changing from a cotton-see- d of highprotein content to one of low proteincontent would diminish the milk flowunless 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-see- d

meal is due to its varying in composi-tion, this can be readily overcome bythe feeder. Cotton-see- d meal like mostconcentrated feeding stuffs cannot belegally sold in the state of Maine un-

less the chemical composition Is statedupon the package. From the knowncomposition of different lots it will bepossible to so adjust the amount fedthat the size of the ration as measuredby its content of protein will be keptunchanged. The variations in compos-

ition are so great and the matter issuch a serious one to the consumer thathe, 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 hearmore about it as the season growscolder and the birds are more closelyconfined. For several years we havehad no trouble in this direction, for wehave followed the plan of giving abreakfast of soft food scalded thenight before and allowed to cook by itsown heat over night. We believe thisto be a complete preventative of indi-gestion. The feeding of corn throughthe whole year, or, in fact, the feed-

ing of any grain continuously, willbring on indigestion. The indigestionwill make itself manifested in variousways. One of these is in the form ofconstipation, the bird apparently keen-ly suffering. The owner too often doesnot 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 tosit down or to hover in some shelteredposition. This stage is followed bythat of great looseness, and the poultryman frequently thinks he has cholerain his flock. The third stage is thatwhere the coop becomes filled withsour, rancid, bad-smelli- ng food andwater. It will generally be found thatwhen this stage is reached the case ishopeless, which is frequently true inthe second stage. The whole trouble isin 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 whichhave been used against the tuberculintest are mentioned and refuted, and itis shown that where there is a possi-bility of danger there is danger. Anapparently sound udder does not guar-

antee us milk. The pre-

ponderance of tuberculosis exists underpoor stable conditions with poor ven-

tilation, but good stables and ventila-tion do not necessarily prevent infection. 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 whenthe infection has been recent or is oflimited extent, and it may aid a ten-

dency to recover in other cases. Thoauthor is of the opinion that the tuber-culin test should be made a conditionof the granting of licenses to sell, andshould be made twice a year. Onlytested bulls should be used, and calvesfrom tuberculous mothers should be'reared upon milk from us

cows or upon sterilized milk. Relativeto the subject of tuberculous attendantsfor cattle the author thinks that thedanger from this source has been over-

estimated.

Potash. Sandy soils are always de-

ficient in potash. Even if they had thismineral they have usually so littlevegetable matter that the potash formsan insoluble compound, by unitingwith the sand. The potash in causticashes dissolve the silicate of potash,and also helps itself until its causticproperties are lost. But old leachedafhes are often quite as beneficial tosandy soils as are unleached. They al-

ways contain some potash and somephosphate, which the water used forleaching would not dissolve. But theyalso usually contain some ammonia,taken from the air, and which makesits potash a nitrate of potash and avery powerful fertilizer. Ex.

tance. Ex.
