Chicken now occupies a prominent
f tlacc on all bill* Of fare of tlrst class
lotcls, restaurants, p.issenger boat*
and dining can. The price of this
delicacy is always higher than that
Charged for any other poultry—no
matter in what manner prepared—and
the well posted man dr woman always
looks for new quality ot food which
was entirely unheard of a comparative
ly short time agm During the past
few years the trade in milk fed chicks
Otis nas Increased enormously. It has
been controlled by the great packing
houses.
The process Is cheap and simple. In-
crenking the weight from 40 to 50 per
Cent and the value of the fowl from 50
to 75 per cent. Art Illinois man suc
cessfully tried tlie experiment in this
wav : He made a (loop 3J feet wide and
about 4 feet long ami about 4 feat
high. The bottom of the coop wa*
made of rounds an Inch apart, the top
of the rounds being oval am! not
oreasurlng more than aft Inch. A dfop
board was constructed eight Inches
below the bottom of the coop. Each
morning the drop board was taken out
and scrubbed afid the coop Was kept
clean and fresh.
A small trough was fnadfc th'9 same
a* would l>e made fof feeding pig*.
A set of hangers were made for
It on the front of the cooipf, just high
enotfglr for the chicks to e*t out of it
comfni tifhly. Ninel} pound chicken*
were put fn tire chop. Kor 14 days
they were fed early tn fife mofhing, at
noon and about sundown on a mixture
ot Akt rrtftal, butter milk, be«f tallow
and yelloW Corn meal. They were
given just what they cohld eat,- no
more. As soon as they quit eating the
trough was removed. At the end of
the IF tfays thd chicken* were foun.4 to
have Increased 70 |>er cent in weight,
antf the tTesIr wai of a rhih yellow

SI* »oclaj olnhs In Colombia were
oaed on Saturday by InjtiMilons as
none nre more troobleeoina
than Indetl*. Nofblng Is more
aggravating than to hare a promising
ernp of fruit or grain attacked by a
horde of “bugiT end greatly injured
If not entirely ruined.
Inserts, like weeds^ are very dUOctilt ,
tr deal with If you go st tbem cTFTit !
h Hoe. but if properly managed they i
een be essU^'leld la check. From ;
th* stfliidpolut of the damage they do,
tnssrt* may be dMded Into two
tlfuse*—those which attack field crops i
md those which are Icjnrioua to fruit
« iid garden crops.
There are a number o? Ipsects
which attack corn. _ While Ureae «re
BcIdo*a present tn largo enough niFfa-
! bers Jo destroy any cousklcrable part
of the outlro crop, the money value
Of the damage tuej Inflct on the corn
grown on a quartet section each year
amounts ta tio small sum.
One of tho most important of these
pest* Is the com root worm. The
Fgafa, which ore laid In the t-ornfleld
during August or Stqitember. hatch
during the Juno or July. The
worms whert full grown are about
m’.e-thlrd of nn inch long ond as Llg
«round as a pin. They bore up Insldr
the root*, injuring them so badly that
the growtlt of (he plant 1* seriously
checked. Often, t»o, the roots nre so
weakened that the corn blows down
badly. Rome time during August the i
worm goes through a transformation
cnllcd pupation, which changes It Into
a small light green beetle. This bee
tle feeds on the silks ami tips of ears
and lays eggs tor tha next year's crop
ot worms.
Another insect which lives on the
roots of corn Is the root louse. These
lice are very small tjnd helpless. They
nre kept through the winter In the
egg stage hi ant Mila. In tb« spring
after- they batch they are placed oc
the corn mots by the ants. The ant*
are very fond of a sweet fluid which
Is secreted by the lice, and they take
care of them for this purpose.
Other Insects which do more or less
damage to the corn crop are the stalk
borer, wlreworra, white grub, bill bug.
cutworm, etc. These Insects live and
multiply In grass land and from there
tlud their way Into the adjoining corn
fields. They do the grenteet damage,
however, when the grass laud la
plowed up and pnt Into corn.
The damage from nearly nil Insects
affecting com. small grain or grass
can he readily prevented by a good
system of rotation. Tbls Is especially
true If clover Is used, since such In
fects as rntwonua and grubs do not
work to any extent on rlorer. The
frequent plowing of the ground and
chajige of crops where a rotation Is fol
lowed are fatal to most insects. Dam
age from these pests will be still fur
ther reduced If the soil is kept so well
nnppJted with plant food that the
plant* can get a quick start In the
spring. Trenlcd in this way, they are
more vigorous and better able to wlth-
stsnd insect attack*.
These remedies, with the exception
of the last, cannot he applied to or-
mosr damage. It la the worms which
'fantell from the egg* Itrtd by them that
nre so often found In 'fall and winter
apples.

chant and garden crops, since these

fiese crops spraying Is the best rem
edy.
The principal Insect that attacks the
apple Is the codling moth. These In
sects pass tho winter In a ball of silk,
or cocoon, which they spin around
themselves. These cocoons are hidden
beneath tho bark and under rubbish.
Such as happen to escape tho hungry’
search of woodpecker’s and other hints

comes out of the cbcoon as a small
brown moth.
These moths lay great numbers of
*ggs, which hatch tnto sma’lf worms.

apple thmugh the blossom end. The
apples tfing affected usnarfy fall off.

ilo. The curctrllo beetle lays Its eggs
in the young fruit shortly after It seta.
In doing »o It leave* a half moon
shaped soar, which Is Its trademark.
One of the surest ways of getting rid
of this Insect 1* ts Jtr the beetles
from the tree at this time.
Spraying Is also an effective remedy.
The bordeanx-parls green mixture
may te used, but arseuate of lead h»
better, alnce It la leaa liable to Injure
the leaves. It la applied at the rate of
three pounds to fifty gallons of water
Tho spray should be applied Just be
fore the blossoms open. Just after they
fall and again about fifteen days later
Poisonous sprays should never be ap
plied to fruit trees while they are In
blossom. It M not necessary In order
to destroy the Insects and will kill
many of the honeybees, upon which
the blossoms are so dependent for pel
linn Hop.. 4
The insects that have been men
Honed bo far live by eating the leaves
and fruit and In doing so take up
enough of the poison to put an end to
their destructive work. There Is an
other class of Insects, however, for
which such remedies nre not effective.
These are Ihe sucking insects, of
which plant lice are the most common
examples. Insects of this kind feed
by drilling through the outer layer of
the leaf or bark end sucking the plant
J»il es. They thus escape damage
from any poison which may be os the
surface.
To get rid of socking Insects some
suhstnnee w hich will kill by cbmtng in
contact 'with them must be used.
There ts nothing better for this pur
l>ose than kerosene emulsion. This Is
made by dissolving half a pound of
aonp In a gallon of boiling rainwater.
This mixture Is then taken from the
stove and two gifflonsrof kerosene add
ed. The comoonnd Bhculd be churned
violently for a few moments by pump
Hg It up with the spray pump and
back Into the pall. This causes tho
oil to mix thordffglily with the water.
Itofore using, this original mixture Is
diluted with six to teu parts of wa
ter. •
A common insect affecting garden
crops and one that Is hard to handle
is the striped cucumber beetle. This
1* n Berious enemy bf cucumbers,
squashes, melons and other plants of
like nature. Spraying does little good
and Is liable to Injure the tender plants
as well. Where but a few hills arc
ralsrd, covering them for the first
two weeks with a small box with mos
quito bar stretched across the top Is a
good preventive measure. Another ef
fective plan Is to go over the patch
in the morning while the dew ts on
and the beetled cnutFot fl.v„ knock them
to the ground by giving the.plant n
alight blow and put a drop Of kerosene
On each one.
)
Where any of these crops ore raised
on a large scale tho most effective
reihcdy Is the use of “(rap plants.”
riant the field to squashes a week or
icn day* before time fo plant the main
crop. The beetles ore especially fond
of squash plants ond will gather on
them In large numbers os soon as they
come np. Just abodt the time the oth
er plants begin to peep through the
ground the squashes,can be sprayed
with jery strong kerosene emulsion.
This will destroy both tlfe sqtkesh'
(Slants and the beetles. There wilt
usually not be enough of the latter left
