RAVAGES OF INSECTS.
Dow to Apply Iniiotltlila no m to R
vara Matlnhtetorr Hwiult.
Considerable iutorest has developed
lately on tho Biibjoct of applying Insec
ticides, and it 1b very opportune. The
pressing need of a hotter understand
ing of methods for successfully resist
ing tho ravages of our insect onomles
crowds upon us with Incrensed vigor
as the recurring seasons increase the
number and rapacity of the foe. It
has biHjn very evident (to closo ob
servers lit least) that a great part of
the work done, especially in the use of
poisonous compounds, has proved of ac
tual damage; that is, the iusects them
selves would not have done more harm
If left alone than the misuse of poison
did, A treatment for in sects that may
do very well in a growing, productive
season is liable to do great harm to the
crops in an unfavorable one. To apply
poisons effectively (without doing in
jury) and cheaply, is equally of impor
tance. After quite an extended experience
in using insecticides in nearly all
ways, I have decided that there is only
one way in which satisfactory result
can be reasonably expected every timo,
and that is by spraying. Poisons should
be used in liquid form always, and in
applying to the foliage, to insure suc
cess, it must be broken up into fine,
misty spray, like fog or steam. To ac
complish this desired result, there is
nothing yet mode to excel the spraying
machine. It is built on simple, me
chanical principles, and the amount of
the application can be guaged per
fectly. By tho aid of one horse (or
team) and man, this machine operates
on four rows of potutoos at a time, de
livering a line, misty spray with force,
penetrating every part of the plant and
thoroughly impregnating the foliage
with poison (but not drenching), so
that if the larvaj feed on any portion
they must get the poison. The danger
of burning the leaves is greatly les
sened. In fact, the plant can hardly
be harmed if ordinary care is tnkon. I
have sprayed eighty acres of potatoes
in three days, using only f3.5) worth
of London purple, and in thirty-six to
forty-eight hours after the poison was
put on hardly a slug could be found
alive. The expedition and economy
with which poisons can be applied in
this way enables the grower to use
weaker solutions often, and thus
obviates all danger from doing harm
to the growing crops.
Tho Colorado bugs bade fair to give
us the most trouble we ever exper
ienced during the dry season of 1887,
yet by two timely applications of Lon
don purple by spraying, wo succeeded
in almost totally destroying them,
without apparent damage to any part
of the crop, at a cost of less than 50
cents per acre, including labor and
poisons for the two jobs. 1 saw a great
many fields of potatoes that were al
most ruined that season by applying
poisons in a careless manner, both in
liquid and powder torm. Whon pota
toes bring 75 cents to f 1 per bushel at
harvest time, it is poor policy to ruin a
crop by being short-sighted in any way.
Wetting or drenching the vines with
water alone during dry, hot weather is
a dangerous experiment, and when the
water is incorporated with active
poisons and applied io a haphazard
manner, it is most sure to do harm.
The whole business of mixing and ap
plying insecticides should be done in a
systematic and methodical manner.
Guess work will not pay. As Prof. W.
8. Alwood has well said, in his station
report on Insects and Insecticides:
"Lack of exactness in the details often
defeats the purpose of work with in
secticides." Defeat is the price of
carelessness or ignorance. -Cor. Ohio

THE COMING FARMER.
Be Will ! Mao Competent to Ilrlns;
Forth Keir ltlaan.
The coming farmer is on the way. Ho
is the new-school farmer, the ono who
is cutting loose from the ancestral ways
and stepping far in advance of his fel
lows; he is adopting and bringing forth
nevr ideas, putting into practice
methods which will eventually double
and treble the productive powers of
the soil. The coming farmer will be a
man of thought as well as of brawn.
Specimens pt him may be occasionally
seen in the retired merchant who takes
up farming as k happy means of put
ting in his closing years. That force
of thought which gave him success in
mercantile life he now applies to till
ing tho soil and to the ' various depart
ments of agriculture, ' and thereby
proves that thought is as profitable in
farming as in any other business. One
of the leading characteristics of the
coming farmer is that ho . will bo a
specialist. lie w$l dovote his efforts,
his thoughts, his whole energies to one
line of agriculture as much as the mer
chant who twenty years ago kept a
general purpose store. Tho most suc
cessful farmers of the present time are
those who are pursuing special lines,
whether in the production of dairy
products, of draft horses, road horses,
special breeds of sheep, cattle or hogs.
The coming farmer will send forever to
the block the scrub sire in al classes
oriiuioK, wuiuu is now a gruiuer curse
to Wisconsin than all tho monopolies
which prey upon the people. The
coming farmer will provide his wife
all thoso modern appliances for doing
her work, which will make her life ono
of comfort ami happiness, and lighten
her labors as much as tho most modern
appliances lighten tho labors of tho
farmer. The coming farmer will niako
the wholt country smile under tho
tillage of wisely-directed offort guided
by the intelligent thought of a well
cultivated mind, a thoroughly trained

As affording a notion of the con
ditions of Australian life, the news
papers of that regior. are exception
ally valuable; for. especially in thoir
weekly edtions, they are simply en
cyclopedic. The stranger at once, in his
ignorance, takes an Australian weekly
to be intended for use far out in the
country, at lonely "stations," by men
who find time, onco in a while, to ad
just all their relations to tho universe
at ono lonq sitting. Tho reader of
such a weekly acts as a soil of fattier
confessor, whilo the editor spreads out
before him a general confession of all
the sins of mankind, from Melbourne
horse races to Euro)can complications,
in well classified order and in very
good language. All the Australian
colonies are represented in the weekly
general summaries; two or three se
rial novels run their even courses in
the few columns allotted to each; the
endless list of colonial spoils, races,
cricket matches, football games, is
duly set forth; letters from Now York.
London, Paris, together with pages of
telegraphic foreign material, prevent
the colonial reader from being too
much absorbed in home atTuirs, while
these homo affairs are treated in
lengthy (M)litical summaries, in long
editorials, in shorter editorial notes,
in corrcs)ondeuco.
Meanwhile practical interests are
not forgotten. The farm, the vine
vard, cattle raising and mining are
discussed at length oy experts. Games,
puzzles, essays, book reviews, gossip,
close the solid feast of some thirty
large closely printed five column
pages of actual text (exclusive of the
advertisement). Most of our terrible
Sunday papers are far outdone as to
quantity of matter and on the whole
as to quality of mutter us well. None
of our weeklies can rival these inency
cloedic character, in well edited
many sided variety of apiieal, joined,
as is here the case, -with excellence
of workmanship. The only objection
that our own badly spoiled newspaper
reader wod tnuko would bo that all
this was loo dry for lim and too vast.
For i.iy own part, since my return
from Australia, I have been taking
one of these fine weeklies regularly,
ahd reading, not all of it, but as much
as I desired and with no little protit
1 know no better means to become ac
quainted with the drift and the forces

That famous patent lawyer, Will
iam E. tiimoiids, who defeated the
witty Cob Vuueo at tho polls in the
Ilartford district, tells a pretty good
story on himself. He lias in his em
ploy, as cook, an old colored woman,
who was formerly a slave. Hhe is
very religious, and is coutinually
quoting things from tho Scriptures.
The old woman has a very excellent
voice, and sings her old plantation
songs in theiniioitabledurky way. One
Sunday morning she was singing away
while preparing breakfast, and Mrs.
Simoiids arose and opened their room
door that they might hear her the bet
ter. When they went down to break
fast. Mrs. Simouds remarked:
"Aunty, my husband and myself
have been enjoying your singing very
much."
The old darky looked pleased, and
saw an excellent opportunity of quot
ing Scripture, so she replied;
"Law, Missy, but I didn't know that
I was caslin pearls befo' swine,"
