CLOVER ROOT-BORER.
Appearand! In Ohio of a New l.nnnv to
Alnrrlrini A ;;rl' nil ill '.
It in with much regret tlmt I have to
record the presence in Ohio of what aj
earH to bo the clover-root borer -ono
of thu worst inHcct enemies of agricul
ture. Some timo ago I r reived from
Stark County an account of aHorioug
injury to clover, of unknown origin, no
fatal that two I ; i fy fields had been al
raost wholly destroyed. I requested
specimens of injured jlntit h, and on
their arrival found that KNM insect
larva had been at work boring out the
roots. Unfortunately none of tho de
predators wcro pn-jscnt in the plants
examined, but tho work corresponds so
exactly tO that of tho clover rent-I on r
that 1 have little doubt that it is the
author of tho mischief.
Tho clovor root-boor (Hijlcsiiius tri
fciii) was first found in this country in
September, 1M7K, when specimens were
sent from New York to the Department
of Agriculture for Identification. Tho
insect was treated at some length by
Prof. Hiloy in the Department report
for that year, and in order to give tho
farmers a better idea of what is known
of this new foe to tho clover crop, I
quoto below some of tho more import
ant paragraphs:
"In September, 1N78," Prof. Kiloy
writes, "I received from Mr. (J. C.
Snow, of Branohport, N. Y., roots of
clovor that had been ruined by a small
beetle not before reported in the coun
try oh having this habit The Inaoot
was found iu all stngos of growth,
though the principal injury had evi
dently been done by tho larva?, which
worked more particularly on the largo
root. Theso last in many cases were
entirely severed at tho surface of tho
"round. Tho flower stalks were also in
many eases oaton Into. A visit subse
tpjonlly mode to Western New York re
vealed the fact that in Seneca, Ontario
nnd Yntos Counties this new enemy to
American agriculture had been preva
lent enough to prevent the cutting of
tho clover, tho roots being entirely de
voured and the plants pulling out with
the greatest ease and gathering In win
rows before the mower. In tho fleldl
nfloetod I failed to And, after hours of
search, n single plant that did not con
tnin tho insect in some stage, and in
lower or greater numbers.
"I have found the insect in all three
ntnges of larva), pupa, and adult up to
tho timo of frost, though the perfect
hectics at this stage very greatly pre
dominate. The insect hibernates, in
any of theso throe stages, and continues
proigating as soon as spring opens,
the booties issuing from the ground ami
pairing during t he early spring moot lis.
Tho ft male then instinctively horcit in
the crown of tho root, eating a pretty
large cavity, wherein she deposits from
four to six pale, whitish, elliptical eggs.
These hatch in about D week, and tho
young larva; at first food in tho cavity
made by the parent. After I few days
however, they Isjgin to burrow down
ward, extending to tho different
branches of the root.
"Tho galleries made in burrowing
run pretty regularly along tho axis of
the roots and are tilled with brown ex
crement. Tho pupa Is formed in u
smooth cavity, generally at the end of
one of these burrows, and niiiy be found
in small numbers as early as Septem
ber. "It is the custom in Western New
York to sow the clover in spring
on ground already sown to fall wheat.
This is generally done while the snow
in yet 00 tho ground or while tho frost
If Blwppeai lllgi one peck of seed being
used to the acre. Thoclover is allowed
to go to seed in the fall, and usually
produces but little. During the second
year one crop of hay and one crop of
wed are obtained. It is during this
MQOnd year that the Injury of the hyte
kinus is most observed.
"No experiments have yet been made
with a view of prevent lug the injuries
of this clover pest, and no other modn
of prevention suggests itself to my
mind than to plow up tho clover in the
pring of the second year, if tho pres
ence of the beetle is observed." Ohio

Drainage for Fruit Trees.
1 believo that nothing is so injurious
lis stagnant water to fruit lives. 1 will
give a case in point: Our fruit planta
tion is on high ground, the laud sloping
away from it on all sides. Drainage
was thought to lo unnecessary, so that
tho tree were planted on tin' undraincd
hind. The result was disastrous in va
rious parts of tho plantation, for in
pluees the trees never made the least
htart at either root or branch, a good
many died, and those that lived be
came mossy ami looked in a bad way.
On examining the parts on which Ibis
occurred it was found that the water
could not pass away freely. Therefore
it was drained with very good results,
as the trees commenced to if row and
soon wcro In good health, and the
branches became briht ami free from
mossy growth, and are now doing well.

he slept. He then abstracted $238
from McKane's pocket, stole hia team
and drove to Denver. Ho could not
satisfactorily account for the team,
and tho polico arrested him on sus
picion of being a horse-thief, but when
a bloody ax was found in hia wagon it
appeared certain that ho committed
murder. When the newsof McKane's
death was received the suspicion was
verilied. Wetherell waa sent to tho

Every young person knows that
nuts, after they have dried somewhat,
are sweeter than when first gathered.
But the drying process goes on until
they, especially chestnuts, become too
hard to be eatable. These and other

dry by mixing them with sand. II
mixed with an equal bulk of sand, in
I a box or barrel, and kept in a cool
place, the nuts may bo preserved in

It is important to find how much of
imy fodder is digested, as well its to
know how much can be grown on an
acre, or eaten by a certain amount of
stock, for on the amount digested de
pends tho result in milk or beef. In
using rough fodder we must add some
concentrated food to make up for il
poverty in certain elements. Bran,
tin teed meal and cotton-seed meal an
I best to make the rations complete.
Brewers' grains are a cheap milk-pro-
during food, but at $3 a ton aro not
equal to cotton seed at $30 a ton.
Tint labor on the farm enables the
farmer not only to bo repaid for such
expense, but also returns a profit caul
be easily shown by a comparison of
crops that demand much labor in
their production and tlise that call
for but little. A crop of celery, for
instance, is one that keeps the growei
busy, and with extra help, from the
time the teed is planted untii it is
finally banked up for bleaching, aud
as compared with corn it gives a much
larger profit, though requiring more
labor. The work is concentrated on I
! small area, and the shovel spade and
hoe mut be used to a great extent.
The crop, therefore, pays a profit on
labor as well as on the materials of
which it is composed. While it is
proper to economize by using labor
saving implements, yet where the
cost of labor is one that increases the
profits it is unwise to omit it.
