Professor Smith of the New Jersey ex
periment station has recommended, in
his reports and other writings, kaimt
as a preventive of wireworm injury.
We have his testimony that "where this
material is used before planting corn,
even on old sod, cutworms and wire
worms will do no injury." It.s proper
to state that the efficacy of the above
preventives has not been sustained in
experiments made at the Cornell uni
versity experiment station but m view
of the strong testimony above qnoted
Country Gentleman asks, "Is it not pos
Bible that when tested in the field differ
ent results would be obtained from than
given in the cages m the msectary?
Different soil conditions might also
yidd quilo different results.
The last Cornell bulletin recommends
the destruction of the matured insect
the beetle-by attracting to a paris
green poisoned clover bait; frequent and
thorough plowing and pulverization of
infested fields for three or four weeks
following July 20, for breaking up the
earthen cells in which the pupa is con
tamed at this timo and thereby killing
it, after which wheat or rye may be I
sown ; short rotation of crops, and not
keeping fields in sod for more than a |
year or two at a time, and thorough cul
tivation in the falL * .
Country Gentleman says that there is
strong testimony to the efficacy of a crop
of buckwheat in preventing injury by
wireworms, and quotes Hon. A. B. I
Dickinson as saying: "After experi
menting with salt and lime, and many
other things recommended, I have found
only one remedy for the rascals, and
that « tobreak the sod und sow it to I
uc w eat. ow ate and os often as
possible m the fall, and then sow it to
peas in the spring. With a like plowing
tbe next fall, they will not injure any
crop the following season.
In England a crop of mustard is be
lieved by many to bean absolute specifio
against wireworms. A farmer stated
at an agricultural meeting: "I sowed I
with mustard a field of 42 acres, which |
had never repaid me for 19 years in
consequence of nearly gvery crop having
been destroyed by the wireworm. Not
a singlo wireworm could be found thejturist
following year, and the crop of wheat
throughout was superior to any that 11
have grown for 21 years." I
Many farmers have asserted that wet
either destroys wireworms, drives them
deeper JDto tbe soil beyond the roots I
or renders the soil so obnoxious that the
worm3 leavo.
On this subject one of the Cornell I
professors writes as follows in Rural I
New Yorker: "From a long series of
experiments made in 1890 and 1891 at
tho Cornell inscctary we found that to or
kill wireworms ,alt must beused at the I
rate of about cght tons to the acre, oi
over 1 per cent cf the soil to a depth of
four inches mutt be salt. This amount I
would, of courso, kill all vegetation. In I
1891 wo thoroughly tested the supposed
effect o€.«bM in driving the wireworms
deeper into tho soil. Our results indi
cated that 1,000 pounds of salt per acre
interfered with tho germination of
Avbeat, and neither drovo tho wireworms or
deeper into Iho soil nor caused them tel
migrate to any apprcciablo distança " |

A Hint to Bean Growers.
A Virginia correspondent drops this
hint in tbo columns of The American
Agriculturist :
Plow deeply, make the soil rich and
plant as earl
in rows two feet apart At the second
hoeing plant lin^j beans between tbe
rows, so aa to make the hills four feet
apart each way. By the tme the snap
beans have yielded two pickings the
limas will want all the ground. Then
poll the snap beaus and use them, with
y as possible to snap beans,
ali tfle weeds, as a ma Ich for the limas.
This will insure the latter against the
bad effects of drought, and also bring the
limas into the latest market when they
fetch the highest price, besides getting
grown by ^"system yfeldrf mo^nd
better berries the past year than when
grown alone with equally good culture.
In raising other crops it will be possi
ble to grow an early crop for market,
and also as a mulch.
THE SIZE OF BEEHIVES.

are more easily handled than large ones. |
All this has reference, of course, to the
brood nest only, as the surplus apart

cording to the season or the harvest.
Discussion bas brought out the fact
that the most desirable size of hives is

fully sustained. They are certainly most
persistent in their search for all kinds of

but little, using their bills, which are
well adapted to the purpose, to turn over
the ground in search of food that does no

that few if any have been allowed to and
live long enough to change to a chrysalis
or cocoon. On this ground, which is
partly covered with Merest trees, the
gypsy moth is found, and about 400 of
the trees have been bnrlapped.
"Many of these trees are inside the

for their yonng, but otherwise they pay ©e*

Rearing Chicken».
A thousand chickens may be reared as
easily as ten hens may be kept There
is no nse for the hens except to hatch
the chicks. After this the stupid birds _
may be discharged' hud sent to laying
eggs again. A very simple brooder is all
that is needed to rear-all the chickens
desired. Warmth is all that is required
after the food. The warmth may be snp
plied by a small stove with air pipes
leading from a room where the stove is
kept, and in which sufficient air may be
drawn in by ventilators. The air comes'
in at the bottom and flows out at the
t°P- It is desirable to have this heater
in a cellar for convenience in everyway,
The food for young chicks maybe crack
ed wheat, coarse oatmeal, finely chopped
lea® meat and mashed boiled potatoes
