Tho Wheat VTonn-Prof. Snow Explains it.
Professor Snow, one of the best En
tomologists of the wost, in a recent
letter to the Lawrence Journal Ears :
"Mr. II. Springer, of Abilene, semis
me a specimen of a worm which ho
states lias suddenly made its appear
ance and is doing great damage to the
wheat crop by eating the heads. He
desires iuiormatiou as to the ltamo
and habits of this insect. It is tho cat
erpillar of a species of moth (Lcucania
albilinea) closely allied to and belong
ing to tho same genus with the army
worm moth (Lcvcania unipuncla). In
" its habit of feeding upon the wheat
while in the milk it rocmblcs the
corn-worm or cotton boll-worm,which
destroys green corn, but docs no harm
to the ripe kernel. Tho unusually wot
weather of the past few weeks has
been favorable to the growth' of this
insect. It will soon cuter the ground
. and later in the season emerge as a
twinged moth ready to deposit eggs
for the nest year's growth ot catcrpil-
Srlars. Pains should bo taken to de
stroy tho moths as they come out of
the ground not long after the harvest
ing of grain. 1 desire to acknowledge
my indebtedness to Professor Uilcy,
State Entomologist of Missouri, for
the determination of the name of this
insect, which I had never seen before.
Ho informs me that it did the same
woik last year at the east, some ac
count of which was published iu the
Xew York Weekly Tribune of July 13,
1875." Kansas Tanner.
Floor efa Hog Pen.
A correspondent of the Western Ru
ral says that water lime makes the
cheapest and best floor ever used for
hog pens. Ho says : "I have had one
in uso for nine years and it is good
yet, and I have made a cow stable
floor of water lime and havo used it
two years, 'and it is admitted to be
the best in the country by all who
have sceu it. My buildings arc brick.
I fill in eighteen inches with gravel or
sand to prevent the frost from heav
ing it. I level the gravel and use a
two-inch plank to lay it by. I move
tho plank two or three feet at a. time
and lay the lime level with tho plank
half-ways. Mix the sand and tho lime
thy first, then empty the lime on a
good floor, ami then fill the barrel
twice with sand and turn it down with
the lime dry and mix it thoroughly.
Then wet it as I use it."
Hog Cholera.
As a preventive or cure for this dis
ease, take one peck of wood ashes,
four pouuds of salt, ono pound of
black antimony, seven pounds of cop
peras, one pound of sulphur and a
quarter of a poundjof saltpetre. Pound
theso very fine, mix thorn well, and
keep the mixture in a trough where
the animals can go to it at will. They
will use what they need of it. and no
more.
When to Cat Grass, Clover, etc., ets., for Hay.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farm
er says: I havo lately observed several
articles ou the best time to cut clover
for forago purposes ; some giving a
certain day of the month, as the result
of their experience. Most of these ar
ticles arc opinions, as tho results of
observations and experience. But I
havo not seen any based on chemico
vcgclablc reasons the truo basis on
which can rest with safety all agricul
tural operations.
All valuable plants used as fodder,
contain, in a stato of solution in their
sap, certain nutritious substances that
are very dcsirablo to retain in tho hay
after grazing off the aqueous solvent.
This evaporation is called curing, and
if properly done retains all the nutri
tious elements and removes the water;
while tlie amount of these substances
retained, tho nutritious matters, con
stitute tho real value of the fodder.
Seeing this is the state of things,lhcn
the best time to cut theso plants un
doubtedly is at the lime that they con
tain these substances in the greatest
abundance, wholly regardless of the
day of either the month or the week.
It is a well established fact in botany
that tho same plant contains at differ
ent stages of its growth, diffctcnt
quantities of sap, and of course the
nutritious matters obey the same uni
versal law.
A law, too, of equal universality ;
plants grow as long as they live, and
during this period of gro vth,if healthy
there is a uniformity in their sap, both
iu quantity and quality, but at differ
ent periods arise great changes in both.
Thus when they begin to make prepa
ration for fructification, by tho gradu
al formation of floral envelopes for tho
protection of tho delicate organs of
procreation, then a destiued change
ensues in tho chemical constitution of
the saj). Soon after the seed has reach
ed its cmbryotic stato of the flower,
not being of any further use to the
plant's well-being, loses its vitality and
drops off. At this change the plant's
6ap undergoes another change. Its
nutritious matters aro needed, and the
whole energies of the plant,and every
thing available iu it, is called into re
quisition toward tho perfection of the
seed, the chief object of its existence.
So much so is this action and its ener
gies required that in many plants it is
attained by complete exhaustion and
death of the whole plant except its
seed. This is the case with all annu
als. In herbaceous perennials, as iu
most of our grasses, this takes place
with every part but that which re
mains under ground, which remains
there to recuperate by rest until tho
following year.
If it is desired to cut plants to secure
the largest per ccntage of sap charged
with the greatest amount of nutritious
matters, then they ought to be cut, as
near as can be, at the time that the
flower is dropping off, irrespective of
the day of the month or the ago of the
moon; then carefully removing the.
water' part by drying, recollecting
that tho contained nutritious matters
arc not volatile, but remain in the hay,
which, when cured, afford a sweet,
palatable, nutritious fodder.
These principles apply to all our for
age plants clover, grass, etc., used as
hay, and are not based on experience
or observation, which taken alone, are
neither always reliable nor safe guides
iu agricultural operations, but ou sci
entific principles when perfectly ap
plied, never mislead.
Toads.
There is a very common prejudice
against tho toad. By many he Is look
ed on with loathing and disgust. He
is regarded as an ugly, uncouth and
worthless nuisance, that should be
abated on sight. But this prejudice is
Ill-founded and unjust, as the toad is
not only harmless but quite useful to
farmers and gardeners. They should
therefore be regarded as friends in
stead of being treated as enemies.
Tho eggs of tho toad aie usually laid
iu tho water, but at times, when this
is not accessible, they ate laid in daik
damp places, and in such ca-es they
do not pass through the tadpole state.
While in the tadpole state, they livo
on vegetable food, but as toads they
live on insect1', spiders, etc. They arc
exceedingly well adapted to catching
insects, haing a tongue of marvelous
construction. It is quite long, and
may be projected six or eight inches,
the tip of it being so directed as to
just reach the object, and being cov
ered with a viscid, gummy substance,
that causes the insect to adhere to it,
it is thus quickly conveyed to the
mouth of the toad and buried alive.
The movements of the tongue in thus
taking a fly or a bug, arc so rapid that
they cannot be followed with the eye.
The number of flys that a toad will
cat is almost incredible. A few of
them in a gat den will keep it well rid
of bugs, plaut-licc, etc. Thoy gener
ally spend the day in 601110 dark, se
cluded spot of a hole under a sod or
clod or the side of a rock, and in the
livening they come out iu search of a
supper of live insects. They may be
induced to take up their residence in
tho garden by confining them for two
or three days to the place, when they
will become quite well contented. A
board laid about two inchest from the
ground is just the kind of a hiding
place that suits them. They are often
long lived, being often known twelve
to sixteen years old, and it is said one
lived to bo thirty-six years old. On
account of their propensity for de
stroying insects, toads should be en
couraged to become permanent resi
dents of our fields and gardens.
It is generally supposed that China
and Japan wcro so thickly settled, it
was difficult to procure food enough
from the land and sea belonging to
those countries to support their in
habitants; but now we are informed
that not long since there arrived iu
San Francisco a full cargo of Japan
rice, containing some l,2o0,000 pounds.
This docs not show very well for rice
culture in America, but docs speak
well for tho industry of the Japs.
Ants.
J. C. B., of Ohio, writes : "I wish
you would tell me how to get rid of
the small red ants which infest my
house." A little careful watching
will probably show whore the colony
is located, when it can be destroyed
with boiling water. Pieces of sponge
moistened with sweetened water may
be placed about their haunts; the ants
will soon gather on them, when they
can bo destroyed by dipping tho
sponges iu hot water. Camphor
sprinkled about their haunts will soon
drive them away.
