The best time to plant cucumbers to grow pickles is from the first to tho fifteenth of July. They will make aquiek growth at this season,aud be much less likely to attacks from tho cucumber bug than if planted early. The secret in growing cucumber pickets is to keep vines very closely picked, allowing none to grow much, if any, above two inches long. If even one cucumber is loft on tho vine to ripen, it will take so much of the plaut’s food that the roots furnish, that the vine will wither and began to turn yellow. \ Hiimin.ir Ifo£-pen.

Tho Cabtmgro Hoot Maggot. The white maggot iu cabbage root is the larva of a two-winged fly, which closely rosctnblos tho common house fly except that it is Smaller. The flies Appear in April aud early May ami lay eggs at tho base of nowly-sot cabbago plants. These eggs hatch in about a week. Tho maggots begin work in tho young roots aud proceed in their attack to tho larger roots and finally the stem. In two or throe weeks tho maggots are full grown aud proceed to pupate. After tone days tho next brood of flies emerges. Thoro aro about threo such broods. Tho host treatment to avoid this maggot is to put cabbage iu ground where turnips, radishes or cabbage were not grown tho previous year. There is no satisfactory romody to de¬ stroy bage, tho maggots and save the cab¬ but the best is the use of carbon bisulphide. Iujoot u-toaspoouful just urnlor the plant when tho maggots are first discovered in May. It would not bo safe to repluut tho sumo ground with cabbago either this or next sea¬ son, although Into cabbago is not so much troubled as is the early crop. Lime or salt would not destroy or drive away the maggots.—American Agriculturist. Culture of Melons. Watermelons aro excessive feeders, and many fail in attempting to grow them because they do not furnish suf¬ ficient plant food to supply Iho neces¬ sary strength for vigorous vine and fiuo fruit. Not infrequently water¬ melon vinos turn yellow and die when they simply should bo just in their prime from plaut starvation. I prepare the ground as for corn. Lay off in rows twelve feet apart each liulf way. I dig a hole about one aud ouo- feet deep and perhaps threo feet in diameter. In the bottom of this I put a peek or more of good stable ma- in mire, layer tramping it lightly. Next put a of soil, aud follow with a layer made up of equal parts of soil and line rich manure thoroughly mixed, and, lastly, where the seed's are to be placed, auother layer of pure soil. Sow seeds thickly and cover about one inch. When the second or third leaf shows thin out to two or three plauts iu tho hills. If excep¬ tionally large melons, regular "prize takers," are desired, thin to but one plant in tho hill. I cultivate about as I do corn, hoeing each hill after tin eutiro patch is plowed. If very dry, cultivate often, particularly about the hills. It is some trouble to thus pre¬ pare the ground, but it more thau pays in the size, number auil quality of melons produced, that ulsoin the increased length of time the vines are iu bearing, as they remain greeu and iu goon condition until killed by frost.— Grange Judd Farmef-. Tho Horn Ply, One of our representatives writes that the little black horn tty is again appearing the to the great annoyance of cattle aud loss to the owners who are anxious for practical methods to prevent the loss of thrift which follows the discomfort which the fly caused. When the fly. first 'appeared in litis country about ten years ago, all sorts of wild stories were told concerning it. Among other things it was said that the fly ate through the horn, caused it to rot and laid eggs iu it which after¬ wards penetrated the brain. There is, of course, no truth in such tales, but the facts are had enough, for the an¬ noyance to cattle is very serious and prevents thrift in beef animals aud milk production in dairy herds. A great many methods of combating it have been tried with more or less success, those most effective consist¬ ing of the application of substances of an oily character. Kerosene emulsion, applied with a spray pump, has been found quite useful, as it kills all the flics it touches. Good results have been secured with fish oil to which about two tablespoonfuls of carbolic acid to tho quart is added, the mixture being applieil^with a broad, flat paint brush. Two parts of fish oil or cot¬ ton aoed oil and one part of pine tar is a Successful application and the cost is low. At tho Mississippi Experi¬ ment Station this mixture was applied to three hundred and fifty cattle at a cost indicate of only 82.20. These suggestions in a general xvay the character of the remedies to bo used. Any of them require frequent renewal as they only protect tho cattle for from three to six days. When dairy herds can be confined iu dark stables during the day it is best to do so, care being taken to keep the flies out. laid The horn fly is propagated from eggs in the droppings or the cattle, and it is therefore a good plan to break these up when the droppings have be¬ come a little dry. One peculiarity about the horn fly is that it cannot travel well unless it has cattlo to ac¬ company. If, therefore, tho farmer can prevent his tho multiplication of the fly on own promises by the use of tho roinoilios and by breaking up the egg bearing droppings, he is not likely to be much troubled, even though the fly ho numerous on the adjoining farm. —Wisconsin Farmer. Tlio Farm Garden. The garden is tho most productive aero of the farm. If it is not, it should bo made so. It is tho most indispen¬ sable part of farm life. Half of out¬ living should come from our garden iu summer. Not one-half tho country people make # effort have garden. au to a There are some that start out well iu the spring, sow au abundance of seed and never look at the garden again until thoy think it is time they should havo re¬ sults. They take a look and cannot find auy for tho Weeds have covered tho little plants. Then thoy come to tho conclusion that the seed did not grow. the Thoy say all sorts of things about seedsmen, and mow off the weeds and wait until another spring when they go through the same pro¬ cess. Now this is all wrong. To keep tho garden clean wo should begin early and continue the cultivation until fall. It is impossible to destroy all the woods whilo wo aro cultivating tho early vegetables. Little patches of weeds around the garden will produce 3oeil enough to seed the whole garden next year. Wo should try to plan so as to koep all tho ground occupied in the garden. It will require but little more labor to cultivate a cabbago or turnip iu a vacant place than simply to cultivate to keep down tho weeds. You can sow lettuce iu July and it will be nice in the fall. Cabbage aud turnip can ho transplanted iuto tho ground when the early peas and pota¬ toes havo grown; or you can sot celery and beets for winter use. Keep all the ground occupied. If clean cultivation is given, as should be done, tho weeds will be killed out and at the same time a good crop secured. Thinning out plants is au important matter iu gar¬ dening; beets aud carrots will not grow to any size if left too thick. No vege¬ table but the onion will stand crowd¬ ing. If tho soil is rich enough onions will grow to a good sizo when fivo or six stand together; they will crowd each other out of tho ground all but the roots and will bottom nicely. The onion maggot destroys onions badly; a good remedy is to take the soil away from tho bulbs no matter if tiro little onions tip over; so long as tho roots aro iu tho ground they are all right. By doing this tho ily hns no ehanco to put its eggs on the stalks aud then there are no maggots in the bulbs.— Farm anil Homo. A Poultry Ilottso Oovico.

THE HARVEST OF PRUNES. AN INDUSTRY OF CREAT MAGNI¬ TUDE IN CALIFORNIA. estimated That There Are 53,000 Acres Planted to Thin Fruit, Involving an Investment of *20,000.000 — How I’runea Are Gathered and ltrled. The magnitude of tho prune indus¬ try of California is little realized by the people in the Eastern States. In a decade the growing of prunes has gone forward in California by leaps and bounds, and to-day 820,000,000 is invested in it—that is, in lands, trees, irrigation systems, agricultural tools and packing houses. Notwithstanding damaging frosts last spring through¬ out tho lower part of the San Joaquin Valley, and all over the horticultural valleys of Pomona, San Gabriel anil Santa Anna, the total product of green prunes now on the trees in this State, says a Los Angeles letter to the Chi¬ cago Record, is estimated at 83,000 tons. Of this quantity about one-fifth will be shipped East as green fruit for salo at fruit stands anil for canning purposes; the remaining four-fifths will bo dried for market, making about 24,000 tons of dried prunes. Ten years ago tho total area of bear¬ ing prune orchards in California ivas less than 7000 acres. In 1890 tho to¬ tal area of bearing prune orchards was 18,000 acres, and there was an euor- rnous in planting of prune trees that year all the fruit growing valleys of Cali¬ fornia, because of the large ’profit in the industry. Twelve thousand itcres of prune orchards were set out in the winter of 1891-91, and 24,000 acres more rvere planted in tho next two years. These orchards have now come into hearing, and the Stato Board of Horticulture finds that, there aro 53,- 000 acres of bearing prune orchards in California to-ilay and about 8000 acres more to come into bearing. Con¬ servative estimates put tho total crop of California prunes in a favorable year at not less than 90,000 tons. The value of the crop has gone down very rapidly iu tho last three years. In the season of 1892 good prunes fresh from the trees sold for 835 a ton. In 1894 tho same product brought 825 a ton. This year the very best prunes bring 818 a ton, but the general mar¬ ket price is 810 a ton. When the prune crop is harvested iu August the scenes in the orchards and in the drying Acids arc long to be remembered. Thousands of men, women and children throughout tho valleys of central and southern Cali¬ fornia are busy iu the prune orchards and at the fruit-packing houses in theao (lays. A prune orchard in itself Is one of tho most beautiful things in the realm of horticulture anil when the throngs of workers are there it is an intcrcst- ing sight. Tito thousands of trees arc planted in long rows, so equidistant one from the other and in such sym¬ metry that one may look in any direc¬ tion among thorn anil the alignment is perfect. The ground is soft anil even, aud tho years of monthly cultivation and care have made it so smooth that not oven a pobblo or a clod or a blade of grass or tho smallest weed may be seen anywhere. When the fruit grower, who has been daily watching the process of ripening fruit of his crop, finds that tho is so thoroughlp ripened as to bo soft to the touch he employs a force of workers. Great sheets of cheap cloth are laid on the ground beneath the trees. Strong men shake the trees and boys shake branches so that the prunes may fall, The sheets are gathered up at the ends and tho fallen fruit poured into padded boxes, so as to avoid handling as much as possible. Tree after tree is treated in this way, once each (lay, until the crop is gath¬ ered. Tho operation is often repeated once a (lay for twenty days before all the prunes are harvested. Meanwhile the gathered fruit has been carried to the washing boxes and the dripping caldrons. 1 Tho prunes are put into great heavy wire cages holding atnl several first dipped hundred'pounds each aro into running water, whore the dirt and dust are washed away. In a moment more the cage is elevated on a crane anil let down into a caldron of hot water, heavy with concentrated lye. The purpose of this operation is to remove the bloom aud crack tho skin that on- volops tho flesh of tho prune iu order that the. drying process may take place more skin is rapidly. In its natural state the so smooth auil tough that it would take a week to dry tho fruit properly for market. From tho caldrons of hot lye water the cages of prunes are lifted a lain and once more plunged into hot c can water, so that the lye may bo washed awoy anil a gloss be given to the /nut. Then comes the drying process. Girls aud boys come with shallow wooden trays a yard square and, as the prunes pour down from a hopper into which they are dumped from the cages, deft hands spread the product over tho trays iu the twinkling of an eye. A little tnmway carries t ie trays and fruit out into the drying yard every minute and there on tho grouud, covered for two or three acres with some cheap fabric, tho prunes arc plaeod for drying by the sun. There is a strong sunshine twenty-nine days out of thirty in each summer mouth in the valleys of cen¬ tral and southern California, aud so it is the rule that primes are well dried iu two aud a half or three days. A little army of workers is always busy in the prune season iu gathering tho dried products from tho trays and carrying it iu baskets to the' sweat boxes, where, after a week or ten days, the dampness that arises from quickly dried fruit has evaporated. Often a prune grower ou nn extensive scale may have in his bins at the close of the harvesting of tho crop 600 or 700 tons of dried primes, while his drying yard of several acres may bo so completely look covered with trays os to as if smeared a purple black. The more exteusive prune growers in California handle as many as seventy tons of prunes in a day. It takes from two and oue-half to three potiuds of the greeu fruit to make one of the dried product. The active work of the harvest over, the grower looks about for buyers for his yield. There are always scores of purchasing agents for Eastern whole- sale fruit dealers aud commission houses throughout the horticultural regions of California in the fruit sea- son anil there are hundreds of local fruit shippers in the State. The fruit IS sampled and tested for its saccliar- ine qualities, the firmness of the f*jsh anil the gloss of the skin. .Little bags of sample fruit are sent here arid there. When a sale is made it is done on the basis of the sizes of (lie dried prunes. Thus there are six sizes: 1, those ranging from forty to fifty to the pound; 2, fifty to sixty to the pound; 3, sixty to seventy; 4, seventy to eighty; 5, eighty to ninety, am} 0, all below ninety. An ex- perienced prune grower and buyer can tell at a glance what size of fruit he is looking at and, of course, the larger sizes are tho more marketable, Soldiers to Guard Buffalo. The Secretary of the Interior at Washington has under consideration a project which will hereafter furnish some of the Fort Logan cavalrymen with a novel variety of active duty in tho summer and fall seasons. It is that a detail of Itegular Army troopers buffalo he told off to guard the herd of which exists in Lost Pork, Colorado. There are still about forty of these rare beasts alive, but if some immedi¬ ate precaution is not taken to protect them against the depredations of pot¬ hunters they will speedily be exterm¬ inated. Late last fall one buffalo was found dying at a remote distance from its fellows, having been wounded a number of times by rifle bullets. It was put out of pain by a deputy game warden, and its stuffed frame is now among the collection of rarities in the rooms of the State Historical Society. This incidont led to the discovery that several others of the herd had been killed during the preceding sum¬ mer. No trace of the marauders who did the killing could be discovered, nor could any effective means be de¬ vised by the State Game Warden to guard against them in future. A good deal of indignation was aroused thereat among sportsmen and others who are interested in preserving- Colorado’s rapidly dwindling buffalo. As a re¬ sult the scheme to use cavalrymen was concocted, arid James A. Miller, clerk of the Supreme Court, was delegated to communicate with Congressman Shafroth on the subject. This action was taken by Mr. Miller on May 5, and yesterday he received from Con¬ gressman Shafroth a letter, inclosing a statement from the United States Adjutant-General’s office to the effect that the military buffalo warden pro¬ posal was under consideration by the United States Department of tho In¬ terior.—Denver Republican. An Expensive Business. Residents of the lower Mississippi have for many years felt tho greatest concern on account of the washing away of the banks and tho necessity of some means by which tho currents could bo deflected and stop the con¬ tinual wearing away of the shores. Some idea of the expense attending tho keeping of this great body of water within reasonable bounds may be got¬ ten from the statement of an expert who has just finished an examination of this erratic stream. Immense mat¬ tresses or mats aro mado of willows and underbrush. These aro woven in with wires and poles of various sizes, forming an enormously heavy and ap¬ parently very strong resisting mater¬ ial. These mats are woven on barges anchored out in the stream for this purpose. Then they are slid off into the water and weighted with stones. Home of them are three or four hun¬ dred feet long. Some of the largest of them will cover eight acres. The work can only be done during low water, which fact greatly adds to tho cost, ns there is only a short season, aud tho work must be pushed to the highest rate of speed. Sometimes, after all of the effort, tho first high water sweeps tho whole structure away, and all must be done over again. • Asbestos Hope. Asbestos formerly in use now has a formidable competitor in the blue as- bestos of South Africa. The latter is less than half as heavy, and furnishes finer anil longer fibres, which have been worked iuto webs but little in¬ ferior to those made of vegetable fiber, are most absolutely known fireproof, and resist chemicals, corrosive va¬ pors, and atmospheric influences. A blue asbestos rope, three-fourths of an inch in diameter, was weighted at one end with 220 pounds, and ex¬ posed to a constant flame from a largo gas jot, so that a considerable portion of its length was surrounded by tiro. It only broke after twenty-two hours. Tho asbestos rope has only two-thirds tho strength of a now hemp rope, but as they grow older the proportion changes in favor of tho former, since it is but little affected by the atmos¬ phere. The blue asbestos fiber is also worked into mattresses for hospi¬ tals, which ore cooler in summer anil warmer in winter than those of ani¬ mal hair or vegetable fiber. As an experiment firemen’s apparel is bo- ing manufactured from tho fiber.— Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Pyramid of Darrels.
