REMEDY FOR GRAIN WEEVIL.
Requisite Quantity of Bisulphide of Car*
bon and Manner of Applying It.
The use of bisulphide of carbon against
different insects attacking stored grain
has greatly increased in this country
since it was first recommended some
thirteen years ago by Dr. C. V. Riley,
entomologist for the United States de
partment *of agriculture. Dr. Riley
states that there is. however, consider
able diversity in the method of using it
and the recommendations of some of our
writers have evidently been made with
no sense of the fact that the fumes are
heavier than air, and descend rather
than ascend. Professor A. H. Church,
in a recent number of the Kew Bulletin,
records that he found that 1| pounds of
the bisulphide is enough to each ton of
grain. He advises that it be applied in
the following way:
A ball of tow is tied to a stick of such
a length that it can reach the miudle
of the vessel containing the grain. The
tow receives the charge of bisulphide
like a sponge, and then is at once
plunged into the vessel and left there,
the mouth or opening of the vessel then
being tightly closed. When necessary
the stick may be withdrawn and the
charge (of one ounce to a hundred
pounds of grain) may be renewed. The
action of carbon bisulphide lasts in or
dinary cases six weeks, after which
period a fresh charge is required. The
bisulphide does no harm to the grain as
regards its color, smell or cooking prop
erties, and the germinating power of
most seeds is not appreciably affected,
provided that not too much is used, nor
its action continued for too long a pe
riod. The assistant director of agri
culture of Burmah is reported to have
used naphthaline instead of bisulphide in
the following way, but I should not ex
pect anything like as good results from
the naphthaline as from the bisulphide.
A hollow bambeo cylinder 1$ inches
in diameter, with a stick fitted into
the cavity, Is pushed down to the bot
tom of the bin; the stick is then with
drawn and a few teaspoonfuls of naph
thaline powder is poured in the bam
boo, which is then drawn out, leaving
the naphthaline at the bottom of the
bin. If the bins are very large this
should be done once to every ten feet
square, and the application should be re
peated every fifteen to twenty days.
Pumpkins for Fattening Swine.
The fanner who is so fortunate as to
have a good supply of pumpkins has a
valuable food in them as a part ration
for his fattening hogs. It is claimed by
some, says National Stockman, that hogs
will fatten on them as their only food.
A writer in The Farmers’ Review, com
menting on the foregoing, says: “We
would not care to risk the statement so
far as to undertake to fit a lot of hogs
for market with them. We would feed
as many each day as the hogs would eat
up clean, and then give them all the
corn they would consume besides. Young
hogs with a ration of pumpkins each day
will stand a much longer feeding on corn
than they would if fed corn alone. There
can be no doubt that the mixed ration
Will be muCU TjelVc-i ixap-lxa-Aa.t.c.d. fVic
corn when fed alone. It is a wasteft#
way of feeding to throw out enough
corn or pumpkins, or both at one time,
to last the hogs two or three days. Their
food should be given to them sweet and
clean at least twice a day.”
Another plan of feeding pumpkins to
hogs that has been found to produce ex
cellent results is to begin early in the
fall. While the fattening hogs are in the
pasture lots give them all they will eat
as long as the supply lasts, then begin
with the corn. Pumpkins alone will
fatten hogs quite rapidly, but the pork
from such feeding is soft and undesira
ble, and needs a finishing with corn to
make it first class. Pumpkins are cheaper
than corn, besides being a specially
health giving food; hence the fat and
flesh added in the beginning is more eco
nomically produced and the profits pro
portionately increased.
The Fay Currant.
Mr. E. Williams, of Montclair, N. J.,
whose opinion is worth repeating, says:
"The Fay currant is much more produc
tive than the others; the fruit is quite as
large, and the quality in no way inferior.
It has the fault, however, of a procum
bent tendency. The plant seems deter
mined to develop a trailing habit, very
different from that of the erect Ver
sailles. Many of the shoots starting
from the base of the plant wall run out
on the ground and curve up their ends a
few inches high, a habit which I dislike
very much; and yet I shall set more of
them. Of late years we have seldom
secured full and perfect clusters of this
fruit, because the unfavorable weather
at the time of blooming, or some other
cause, has prevented the later blossoms
from setting. The clusters, therefore,
tre only about half as long as nature in
tended them to be. But after all, the
Fay seems a great step forward in the
development of this fruit, although the
ideal currant has not yet been produced.”
Agricultural News.
Officers of the North American Bee
keepers’ association are: President, P. H.
El wood, Starkville, N. Y.; secretary, C.
P. Dadant, Hamilton, Ills.
The American Steel Trade association
has indorsed the rules of nomenclature
made by the committee of station horti
culturists (Bailey, Goff, W. J. Green),
and a committee has been appointed to
take up fully the whole question of
nomenclature.
There are nearly if not quite 75,000
square miles of range yet commanded by
the stockmen in Texas and much of it
will so remain for many years to come.
Outside of this area is enough good agri
cultural land tor a million farms, says
the editor of the Texas Farm and
Ranch.
The chief of the department of agri
culture for the World’s fair has made
the following distribution of the $150,000
appropriated by the board of directors
for live stock awards: Horses, $52,000;
cattle, $:10,C00; swine, $20,000; sheep,
5 15,000; poultry and pet stock, $10,000;
ogs, $4,000. This leaves $19,000 as a
contingent fund.
It is a fixed and iimmitable law
that to have good, sound health one
must have pure, rich and abundant
blood. There is no shorter nor surer
route than by a course of De Witt’s
Sarsaparilla W. J. Platt.
Mrs. L. R. Patton, Rockford, HI.,
writes; “From personal experience I
can recommend De Witt’s Sarsapa
rilla, a cure for impure blood and gen
eral debility” W. J. Platt.
Explorers’ Helper# Scarce.
It is not generally known that most
African explorers entering the continent
from Zanzibar have been compellt-d to
fit out chiefly with slaves hired from
their Zanzibar masters. A few weeks
ago the British Antislavery society
issued a protest agaidst this practice and
called attention to the fact that the ex
pedition which H. H. Johnston had jnst
led into the country was made np oi
slaves. The sultan of Zanzibar has now
issned a decree forbidding the enlisting
of slaves on these expeditions. There is.
accordingly, a great scarcity of labor,
and explorers and the German East
Africa company cannot get all the men
they need.—London Letter.
Hard Times for Georgia Alligators.
Lake lamonia is fast drying up. Thir
ty years ago the lake dried up and one
could walk over any portion. Hundreds
came with wagons and hauled thousands
of pounds of fish away. Alligators were
as plentiful 4? logs. No cause for the
strange disappearance of the water can
be assigned. Dozens of alligators are
crowded together, and parties are al
ready seining the holes for fish.—Cor.
