of the header. Seven men and six
teams, at a cost of $21 a day not in

with a binder will require two nn

plowing while tjie bound wheat still I
has to be hauled to thc thresher.
Seven teams at $21 a day will haul the
drop from forty acre which is at tha
rate of fifty cenlt an acre. The first
cost of the machine is another item
which must be reckoned. A header
costing $180 will cut as much whet
in thc sarnie length of time as two
binders costing $130 apiece. The life
of a. header is twice as long as that
' of the binder, making. the $i3o head?,
cut as many acres of wheat at would
four biudcrs at a cost of $320. Of
course, the man with . small field can
cut his wheat with m, binder ami per
haps stack it with his own help and
not be out anything except for twins
but the big field mul be harvested
with hired help and thc heavy ma
chines that do the fast work arc th;
best to use.

ROSE-SLUG. . I

The rose-slug has become a sciious
enemy to cultivated roses in many
places. Tho insect is double broodc I
and is comparatively ctiy pest i

'I'be ndult is n black lly shout a

in June eggs arc deposited within tlw

green tissue of thc upper surface of
the leaves. When these lugs mature
they descend to the ground and pass
the pupa stage in sHften cocoons
w'.'ch the slugs spin about them
selves. About two weeks later the
second brood of flies appears and de
posits eggs, as in th$ case of the
spring brood, nd' again the rose
bushes are defoliatod.
The best remedy to use against
tills insect is white hallebore, which
may be lightly dusted over the foliage
from a small clmosecloth sack, pre
ferably towards evening or the helle
bore may be put into water in the
proportion of one ouno to three gal-
Ions, nd then the foliage is treated ,
by sprinkling or spraying this poii
