AGRICULTURAL riEHVXITMES T ~ Tlie Field, Farm ancl Garden. We solicit, articles for this department, /lie name of the writer should accompany the letter or article, not necessarily for pub lication, but as an evidence of good faith. Remedy for Insects. The damage annually done by insects, jays the Philadelphia Record, is so great that farmers naturally welcome any remedy that may be suggested as efficacious, and in order to enlighten them Prof. Riley, Ento mologist of the Department of Agriculture, tested nearly all the remedies that had been recommended by individuals or through the newspapers. His results show that ice-water is not reliable as a remedy against the cab bage worm, while salt and water, and salt petre and water also failod; One part car bolic acid to 100 parts of water injured the leaves and did not kill the worms under the leaves. Pyrethrum, one part, and flour, three parts, dusted on the plants, killed three-fourths of the worms, while Wolf’s soap, one ounce to a gallon of water, applied at a temperature of 90* killed one-half. Kerosene emulsion destroyed 80 per cent, of all worms exposed to it, but buckwheat flour, ammonia, powdered alum, copperas water, earbolized lime, black pepper, tar water and tomato water were failures. Cop peras water (one ounce copperas to a quart of water) had no effect, but when reduced to half that quantity of water it killed all the worms. Carbolato of lime drove them away but did not kill them. With the striped cucumber beetle Wolf’s soap did no good, though carbolate of lime in the male blossoms of squash vines killed the beetles. Tar water and Wolf’s soap drove the mar gined blister beetle from beets, but they re turned. Copperas water and ammortia water had no effect on them, but 1 part car bolicaeid in 64 parts water drove them away permanently. Kerosene emulsion destroyed the yellow-neoked caterpillars, but potas sium sulphide, Wolf’s soap, copperas water and ammonia did not injuro them. Two applications of a saturated solution of salt killed the lice on lettuce, and so did Wolf’s soap. The soap also killed the aphides on green-house plants but damaged the foliage. The woolly aphis on apple trees was de stroyed by kerosene emulsion but uninjured by tar water and other remedies. The re sults show that kerosene emulsion is about the best insecticide, but when used on cab bage it imparts its odor. The difficulty is to destroy insects without injuring the plants. Buckwheat. Mr. George E. Walsh, writing to the Her ald about buckwheat and its Successful pro duction, says that if it is sown on rich land it will, of course, yield better than when sown in new land which has just been scratched over with the plow or harrow, and in proportion to the fertility and state of cultivation of the soil will be the need of more or less seed per acre. If the soil is mellow and well worked a peck of seed to the acre will give a good yield, while on a piece of rich lowland meadow broken up for reseeding a bushel of seed will be sufficient for five acres. There is one advantage in thin sowing which is not always appreciated. It greatly encourages the branching of the plant, and upon these branches the seed is borne vefly thickly, while the grain is larger and plumper than when sown thickly. On new land the grain is sown thicker, owing to the fact that a great deal of the seed will fall upon spots where the ground has been unbroken, or on stumps and roots, so that about twenty per cent, of the seed put into the ground will fail to come up. T.hq choice of the seed also affects the growth of the plants considerably, although the black and the gray appeal - to grow almost equally well on averagejsoils. Upon a thin, gravelly, slate soil, which is in good condition, the gray variety yields more and better flour than the dark, thick-skinned kind. But these conditions of soil are not always ob tainable on a farm and, under other cir cumstances, either variety will yield a good harvest. The question of fertilizers for buckwheat is one to which little attention has been paid. Why any fertilizer should be used may seem strange to those who have been accustomed to raise the grain on poor land, where it seemed to flourish under the most unfavora ble circumstances. On rich, well cultivated land, tlien.it would seem that manure would lie sheer waste. This is partly true, but if the crop is to be raised in the most approved manner, the same as the other grains, the application of n little superphosphate of lime would not bo money lost. Buckwheat Is a great nitrogen gatherer, and in the hot season when this crop is grown the produc tion of nitrates in the soil is going on ac tively, and the crop is naturally well sup plied with nitrogen in any soil in which this fertilizing agent can be developed in an ac tive condition. The application of piaster is also beneficial. Something About Cut Worms. Wo are so generally asked, says the Ame rican Agriculturist , about the “cut worm” that It is evidently the popular idea that there is but one Insect deserving that name, while in fact there are half a dozen or more, all larvae of different species of moths. Practically they might be regarded ns one, did not some of them ascend trees, shrubs and other plnutspn their destructive work, while most of them confine their operations to the surface and wor k their mischief by cutting off young and tender plants even with the ground. Their work is done at night, and as daylight approaches they liido themselves in holes in tho ground. Cabbage, when first set out, and lettuce and other plants of tho garden, up to squashes and other plants of tho farm, are attacked by them. Growing muskmelous and water melons for Northern markets is now an im portant industry in the Southern States, especially wjtliin easy reach of the shipping ports, some hundreds of acres being occu pied by watermelons alone. Tho grower of melons, as well as of cabbages, etc., finds that his greatest obstacle to success is in tho attack of cut worms. Various devices have been proposed to ward off their attacks, but among these none appear to be so sensible or so effective as that devised by Dr. A. Oemler, author of “Truck Fanning for the South.” Dr. Oemler kills off the cut worms before the plants appear. Upon his water melon fields he sets poison traps at about fifteen feet apart each way. These “traps are cabbage or turnip leaves, which have been moistened on the concave side and then dusted with a mixture of paris green with twenty partsof flour. Those leaves are placed over tho field, poisoned side down, at the dis tances above stated,before the plants appear. What follows? The doctor facetiously says: “Two such applications, particularly in cloudy weather, at intervals of three or four days, will suffice to allow the cut worms to make way with themselves, which they gen erally do with perfect success." Fruit Trees and Soil. In writing about fruit trees Daniel Den nett says that it is pretty certain that most u nit trees in the South suffer severely from poverty of soil, from lack of lime, potash and humus in the soil, and are choked and robbed by grass mid weeds. If one could put around each tree half a peck or a peck of imie and half a bushel of ashes, and then Pile up half a cart load of rotten leaves and i otten woods to be scratched down by chick ens in search of bugs and worms, the trees would be far more thrifty and would bear more and better fruit. Then, whatever others may think, we ould prune peach and apple trees closely immediately after the last fruit is gathered. *\ e tn<xi this last season and it worked ad mirably. It may not do well in all orchards every year, but it certainly did well in our orchard last year. It is recommended to tie up a piece of rosin soap in a rag and place it in the fork of an apple or peach tree. The rains will gradually wash the soap down in the fork where the blight attacks in the apple tree and it will do good at the roots of any fruit tree when it gets there. We believe in plowing an orchard with a light good turning plow after the fruit is taken off. If roots are broken or wounded they will have time to heal and recuperate before tho blossoming and fruit season. Plow - in most of tho rotten leaves and rotten w-ood applied in the winter and add another hnlf cart load the next winter. The fruits •will pay for such labor. Utilizing - Feathers. 'I he Poultry World says that feathers, properly saved, have a market value and it pays to save them. But many people, upon farms and in villages, scarcely deem the small quantity they have worth the trouble of saving for market. Feathers, however, make a valuable fertilizer when properly treated. Plowed under they may be of some service mechanically, but of very little in furnishing plant food for many years. 1 hey are rich in nitrogen, but the nitrogen is in a form which is unavailable for plant food. The nitrogen can be freed, however, in the following simple way: Into a glazed earthen vessel pour a quart or so of sul phuric acid and then add the feathers. In a few days those placed in the acid will be dissolved and another lot may be added. A quart of the acid will be sufficient for the feathers of eight or ten fowls. When the acjd will no longer dissolve the feathers pour it upon the compost heap, or mix it with any absorbent like dry earth, muck or ashes and you will have a valuable fertilizer, readily assimilated, in place of the unsightly feathers blowing here and there. Florida and California Oranges. The well-known Entomologist, Prof. Riley, of the Smithsonian Institute, who has lately spent some time in California, on being asked which State produced the best fruit, Florida or California, said: “Com parisons are odious. Conditions of climate, treatment, marketing, etc., could not well be more markedly different than between the two sections. The Florida fruit is gene rally marketed before the fruit of Southern California is ready. As to quality I have seen every degree, from the minimum dry, pithy pulp surrounding closely packed seed, and itself surrounded by a rhinoceros-thick rind to the most delicious seedless fruit. As a whole, the California fruit is thicker skinned and more acidulous than the Florida fruit. The former has consequently a bet ter shipping quality, the latter is the most delicious. Thajgis at least my opinion; but you know tastes vary and the average Cali fornian doubtless finds the Florida fruit in sipid.” How to Destroy-a Pest. Many farmers have a great deal of trou ble to get rid of lice which afflict their chickens. The Home and Farm says that before treating the chickens let the nests they brood in, the coops and roosts be cleaned out thoroughly—even the dust removed. Then whitewash, using a wash strongly re inforced by ten to twenty per cent, of kero sene, everything, high and low, and sprin kle the ground or earth floor, and the fowls’ runways, with a solution of copperas—one pound to the gallon of water. Procure three or four ounces of mercurial ointment, extend it in three times its bulk of lard, and, with it, annoint lightly the parts where the insects gather and burrow, and also touch the mother hen under the wings and on the breast with the same. But be careful and! not use too much of the ointment; an ex cess will kill the chickens. It will be well, • too, to improve the diet of the chickens by the addition of fresh meat and onions chopped up together and fed once or twice a week. ._ The Dust Bath. Our domestic fowls, says the Southern Farmer , go to their dust bath with eager ness, and it either makes them “feel good,” or it prevents them feeling bad, for to all appearance they enjoy it exceedingly. A louse will stand considerable water without being suffocated, but very fine, dry dust is death to vermin, for the reason that it closes tne small spiracles by which air is admitted for breathing, and thus they are suffocated. This is tho means provided by nature by which the fowls may rid themselves of a torment. They seem also to take a positive pleasure while wallowing among clean dirt. Fowls running at large in sufnmer can help themselves. Household. To make plain jelly put tfce fruit on, eover well with water and lot simmer till soft. Take off, strain, and to one cup of juice put one of sugar. Test by dipping out a little and cooling quickly. Be careful to keep it boiling steadily until dono. To make sponge cake use tho following re cipe; Twelve eggs, beaten separately, three cups of sugar (not too full); flavor with lemon. Tea rako: Six eggs, two cups of lard four cups of sugar, one and ono half of buttermilk, one teaspoonful of soda, as much flour as this will make up; flavor to taste. For pickled peaches the following recipe is recommended: After tho peaches are neeled allow one-hall” of sugar to each pound of fruit With as little water us possible make a syrup of the sugar; when the syrup is quite clear just scald tho peaches in it and then place them carefully into medium sized glazed stone jars; sprinkle plenty of stick cirtnamon and a few cloves lietween the fruit. Let the syrup boil for live minutes longer, sufficient to give a pleasant sun-acid taste, let it boil up again and at once porn - over the poaches. When cold tie up well and store in a dark, cold place. To make ice cream take one gallon fresh sweet milk, boat the yelks of two eggs well and stir into tho milk for coloring, sweeten and flavor to taste, then place it on your stove and let it come to a hot simmer but not boiling If you have no freezer use a tin buckef iMide of a water bucket, with alternate lnvc*K of Ice and salt around the tin bucket, filling the spaceport ween the tin and wooden vessel, until about an inch of the top of the former; the layers erf ice should be an inch and a half or two inches thick Four the milk in as soon as it come* to a hot simmer and begin turning the du THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1887. bucket half-way arouhd in one direction, then half-way around in the opposite direc tion. Be pareful to have a close fitting top to your tin vessel and let no salt water or ice into the milk or cream. After turning a few minutes open and cut the frozen cream which adheres to the side of the tin bucket from it; replace the top and turn as before. Continue on in this way until the whole is frozen through. Farm Notes. There is no necessity for using elaborately designed poultry-houses. One with a good tight root, and the walls lined with tarred felt, will be warm and comfortable in winter, and, if well ventilated, will answer for summer. Drab grass springs up after every rain. It should be eradicated when very yduny, and on dry, warm days. If cleaned out in its first stages the work will be easy, but if it lie allowed to root well and make growth it will entail a vast amount of labor. It is well settled that nothing is added to manurial strength by fermentation. The only thing that can ever be gained by any degree of the process would be to soften the fibrous matters so that tbev could be more readily taken up as plant-food—i. e., to act more quickly. Since wool declined there has been a steady demand for sheep of the mutton breeds, and many farmers have come to the conclusion that they can make larger profits from mutton and lamb than from wool. The future will witness a much better quality of mutton in our markets. Give to the cows none but the best and purest food. With no other stock is tins so essential, for the reason that, it has been fully demonstrated by competent author ties that the milk is a very prolific source of transmiting disease germs from impure food, and especially from impure water. Of the varieties of tomatoes the Living ston Favorite is one of the best. It is very smooth, a beautiful red in color, not so liable to rot as the Acme, and ripens as early as the standard kinds. It is also large in size and ripens well around the stem, which is not the case with the Trophy. Prof. Henry, of lowa, is very positive in some of his statements respecting the best silos and the best and cheapest way to se cure silage. He condemns tho old silo made of stones for seemingly good reasons. He advocates using scantlings—2x _ boarded on both sides over building paper, giving a dead air space. A crop of carrots should be grown on all farms. It is too late in the season now for such a crop, but a piece of ground should be plowed and kept clean until next spring in order to destroy the weeds before the next season. The great difficulty in growing car rots is slow germination of the seed, thus allowing the weeds to get ahead. Dragging a harrow over the plowed ground is one of the hardest tasks that hofses have to do in farm work, and teams are often imposed upon while doing it. The walking is hard for Doth driver and horses, and the former is often tempted to ride either on the harrow or on one of the horses, not thinking or caring what the conse quences really are. Oxford Down sheep attain to very heavy weights, the rams at 3 years of age reach ing as high as 400 pounds and ewes 300. They are the largest of the mutton breeds, and yield a fleece of medium wool weighing 20 pounds. These weights are for special individuals that have iieen on exhibition, but 300 pounds is not an unusual weight for rams over 2 years old. It is not so much the little red mites in the hen-bouse that do the damage to poultry as it is the large gray body lice, which work on the heads and necks. Look closely for them, as they do not leave the body of tho fowls. The sleepy disease in chicks, droop ing spirits of the bens and failure to lay, though well-fed and in apparent health, may be traced to the large lice on hens. A farmer informs the Department of Agriculture that he has evidence leading him to believe that the crows spread hog cholera. Unless all carcasses be destroyed by fire the crows carry fragments of flesh to distant points. Ho states that ho has found pieces of swine flesh in his fields apparently dropped there by crows, which congregate in large numbers in his sec tion. The Indiana man who carefully blanketed his cows while being milked, so the flies would not bite them and cause them to kick over pail and milker, might have obtained really humane, and, at the same time, last ing comfort to the cows by allowing them to rest in a darkened shed. The idea may really be carried, with profit to providing such refuge in pasture where biting flies are numerous. The subject is especially directed to dairymen. Popular Science. Gelatine is the latest adulterant of butter. By adding gelatine, which absorbs ten times its weight of water, the consistency (of the butter is retained and the water adultera tion is not noticeable. Steam and gas fitters have just learned that graphite properly prepared is superior to red lead for making joints and connec tions. It is said that this article will not “set” under any conditions,, but that it makes a perfect joint and preserves the iron from rust. The manufacture of real Russia iron in this country is an assured fact, and a plant will shortly be started in Cleveland, Ohio, with natural gas for fuel. An American manufacturer has possessed himself of the secret process in use in Russia for making this variety of iron, after journeying-to Siberia to obtain it. Some specimens of the improved imitation iron have been shown which apparently possess all the good quali ties of the genuine article. With a view to overcoming the difficulties in spreading borax and other fluxing ma terials over the heated surface in making welds, a Frenchman has invented plates, usually consisting of n very pliable wire gauze, on both sidesof which the flux, being highly vitrified, is evenly spread. Paper may be also used as a support. In cases of small surfaces it is often sufficient to form a sheet ot the flux and metal filings agglome rated together. The plates are simply placed between the surface in place of the powder being sprinkled on, the wire gauze being welded iu between the surfaces. Anew idea is a bed-spring which shall serve as a fire-escape in time of danger. It consists of four sots of springs, 7 feet long and just wide enough when laid together to sit in a bed-frame. is attached to the adjoining one by u<lbnip, which unites iron appendages fasti to the end of the springs. These add to the length of the to make it about 30 feet long while nut of tho window. One of each is fitted with rungs made of Af’^pPß-iron, the only part of the contrivance not of steel. These rungs, w hich are on the outside when the springs depend from the window, and about 15 inches apart, form a pretty strong ladder, which may be made use or for de scent. Prof. Scribner of the Department of Agri culture, Washington, in a paper on fungi, says that while sulphate of copper and lime, applied separately, had very little if any effect in preventing mildew in vines, the combination of tho two had entirely pre vented it. A go<xl formula was to dissolve one pouned sulphate of copjier in two gal ions of water. Slake two pounds of good lime in the same quantity of water and then mix the solutions, when the mixture should be thoroughly applied to vine and foliage. Another method of application is to ilissoive sixteen and a half pound* of sulphate ill the smallest quantity of water possible; also to have it, when slaked, in the liquid form. Mix these thoroughly and dr}-. When dry crush and powder. The powder can be blown over foliage, fruit and vine. Phillips' Digestible Cocoa. Unlike other cocoas or chocolates, it is not greasy, and though containing all tbe nutriment of tbe richest cocoa bean, it is so prepared that it will not disturb digestion, and makes a deli cious table drink. All druggists aud grocers keep it. -^s>*^ CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTa WORD. ADVERTISEMENTS , 15 Words or more, in this column inserted for ONE CENT .4 WORD, Cash in Advance, each insertion.
