An insect destructive to the peach and kindred fruits, believed to be new in the United States, has been dis- covered by entomologists of the United State e Department of Agriculture al the District of Columbia and its en- virons. This insect, which in its adult form is a brownish moth and in ite larval stage a, small white and pink caterpillar, attacks both the tender shoots and fruit, causing oerious loeaes. Becaus of the habits of the worm, the usual control methods, such as sOraying wi'h certain arsenates, will pie bably not be effective. The smooth young shoots, (swing to -their rapid growth, are protected by the poison solution fcs only a very short time after the spray h applied, and hence It is ain-ost it...possible to poison them. Entomologists who have been investi- gating Um pest will continue to study it in the hope of developing control measures, The insect', known to science as Laspeyresia molesta, is believed lo h. •e been introduced from Japan. So far as known, it as not been found in America other than in the District Columbia and in adjoining territory in Maryland and Virginia. The epe- eialists are desirous of knowing if the insect has attackedp each, plum or cherry trees elsewhere in the United States. The presence ra: the insect can best be determieed in most cases by the nature of its injury to peach tie es. It bores into practically every tender twig and causes new shoots to push out from lateral buds. These are at- tacked in turn, the • abnormal stimu- lation of lateral growth produeing much branched and bushy plant. A copious flow of gum from the twig ends often follows the attacks of the caterpillars. ra attacking fruit the young cater- pillars gen rally eat through the skin at or near the point of attachment of the fruit stem. The larva, as it grows, makes its way to the pit, where it teeds on the flesh, which soon be- comes much discolored and more or less slimy. Larvae entering at the eide of the fruit are more likely to rat out pockets or cavities in the llesh. The full grown caterpillar spins a whitish silk cocoon in which to pupate. Ifoths emerge in the spring for egg laying by the time the shoots are well put. CHEMISTRY AND AGRICULTURE. In the annual report of the divi- sion of chemistry Dominion Experi- inental Farm, for the year ending larch 31, 1915, prepared by Frank T. Shutt, M. A., D. Sc., Dominion chemist, and receritly issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, consider- able attention is devoted to the study of the subject of "Sugar Beets for Factory Purposes." In this report, Prof. Shutt states that this "investigation carried on now a number of years, has cciaclu- sively shown that beets of excellent quality for sugar extractioa can be grown in many widely distant por- tions of the Dominion." Among the factors to be considered in sugar beet growing are the quality of the beet, labor, with its availability and cost. Considerable space is also given to results of investigations carried on to ascertain the relative value of field roots. The results of these point out clearly that care must be exercised in selecting the variety or varieties of field roots grown. In the analysis of some 36 varieties of mangels the richest root contaiued 13 per cent. dry matter and 5,66 per cent. sugar, while the poorest contained 7.32 per cent dry matter and 2.86 per cent. sugar, These great and important differences rep- resent real differences in feeding values. The same is true with tur- nips, analysis showing that between the richest and poorest •of some 33 varieties there existed a difference of 5.58 per cent, dry matter, which, as- suming that the feedig value is meas- ured by the percentage of dry matter, means that 2,000 lbs, of the best var- let: are equivalent to 3,860 line of the peorest. Further investigations were carried on with regard to fodders and feeding stuffs, and a large numberesf fertilizing materials were analyzed during the year. The report also con- tains the result of investigations.l work with fertilizers conducted by Supervisor B. Leslie Enislie, on the experimental stations at Fredericton, N. K„ and Kentville, N. S. This re- port, which cmtains much valuable information, can be obtained on appli- cation to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. TO TEST YOUR OWN SEED. In the seed laboratory grain is tested to determine the percentage of vital seeds by placing one hundred kernels between blotters, keeping them at a suitable temperature and supplied with the proper amount of moisture in special germinating chambers. The reselts of such a test shOw what pro- portion of the seeds are vital, but a more accurate idea of the value of the grain for seed could be gained from a eoll test. Such tests are not prac- ticable in a laboratory, where thou- sands of sa,mples are under test at one time. Anyone can test seed for himself by Putting one hundred seeds taken "just as they come" from the grain he wishes to test, in soil in a flower pot, box or other convenient receptacle, and keeping it"moistened, but not wet, in some place where It will not be too warm in the daytime and where it will be cooler, but will not free -e, at night; the alternation of tempera- ture favors germination. By noticing the number of plants produced, whe- ther the; come up quickly and are strong or :weak, one can determine the suitability of the grain for seeding purposes more accurately than from the results of a test which he does not see. If seed that is known to be of strong vitality can be planted under exactly tha same conditions as the seed whose vitality is being deter- mined, the test will be more valuable. Cleaning grain over a good fanning mill to remove from one-third, to one- half of the bulk, including all the light, shrunken and immature seeds. will greatly improve its quality as 'med.—Seed Branch, Ottawa. a — :70TES.

Too often little or no attention Is given to the sow before !she is to farrow. Sometime even shelter is nealectea. Then if a heavy rain and cool night finds the young pigs without protection several of them may die. Constant care is one of the secrets of success in the breeding or feeding of stock of all kinds. It is only the man who likes work of this kind who will make any real success in it. The results of ten-year experiments on 25 fields in Missouri show an eve - rage return of $5.80 from applying a ton of ground limestone once in a core, oats, wheat, clover rotation. The largest return was secured on clover, second on corn, and lowest of allon wheat, These teate seem to show that $3 a ton is the highest price that a man can usually afford to pay for ground limestone for this purpose. On a sour soil, where limo is absolute-. ly necessary and makes the difference between a clover failure and a good stand, the lime has a still higher mon- ey value. About 1,200 pounds of lump lime, or 1,600 pounds of water -slacked lime, furnish the equivalent or 2,000 pounds of ground lime -stone for this purpose, but the ground limestone is much more economical to use. It should be applied at the rate of two tens per acre under the average con- ditions of these tests, but, of course, this depends largely on the sourness of the land. FRETFUL BABIES Mrs. John M.

At thie season of the year the ques- tion of poultry house ventilation con- fronts poultrymen. The King system of ventilation seems to be entirely %satisfactory in a cow barn, but in a poultry house the demand for fresh air is so much greater and the heat given off by the birds ie so much lees that the same principle does not seem to apply. The hen does not give eff body moieture by means of perspiration or does she give off moisture by means of urine, consequently the breath, which is the only means left, must be heavily saturated. The removal of this mois- ture laden, foul, cold air presents a very perplexing problem. Houses of all kinds have been built airt re mhe, o and tried out, from the tight, glass front or greenhouse type to the ex- treme, front, or so-called fresh At the present time poultry authori- ties consider that a combination or glass and cloth give the best results. Successful houses may be of many different types, and different ventilat- ing systems may be used, provided a fetv definite principles are followed. The roof of the house should be al low as caring for the birds will per- mit, thus reducing the number of cubic feet of air apace a bird. Ldw houses are warmer, and more of the front may be left open. • All open or cloth fronts should be located _on the south side of the house and should be well up fronI the floor. Low openings allow cold winds to blow in on the floor of the house. Glees windows, if used, should be placed at either end Of a colony house and at either end or below the open space in each section of a long house. Either windows or open 'front should be 60 located that the 211.1t1 may reach every Part of the Interior of the house at some time during the day. Each section in a long house should bo divided by a cloth curtain or tight board partition. Long 'houses with- out wield breaks are cold and draughty. Cloth .curtains or windows on the south Gide of the house shoula not be entirely closed except in very sever weather, and then only when the cur- tains are very thin. A curtain which elides up from the bottom on the out- side of the house iavery desirable, me it may be left part way down aud still keep out a driving storm. Houses should be well aired out each day, even though the curtains may be open only a short time. When frost collects on. any part of the interior of the houee, more ventila- tion is needed. A good test for mots - tire can be made by trying to blow duet from the sill or other :woodwork. If the dust can be blown around, the house Is dry, if not, more ventilation is needed. A dry wall and roof give considerable protection againet cold, but a damp, frosty wall gives abso- lutely none, even though it May . be practically air tight. • , rt':-.• • ' • . 1 7; MICA Yi AXLE GREASE • forms a, artlootni slip- pery suufa4e on the axle spindle. ,The ground ' Mica fills the pores of the steel a n d makes easier turning.

SOME TIPS TO GET ECUS. • "Beginners in poultry -keeping often wonder why some hens will lay stead- ily when eggs are worth but ten cents a. dozen and lay only an occasional egg or loaf continually when eggs are 35 cents a deem," sue Farm and Fire- side. "I wed to blame the hen, but now I know it isn't her fault. "I have found that the time of year that the hen e lay best is in the spring when there is plenty of green feed and an abundance of exercise. By feeding green products In the winter and com- pelling them to keep in action I can best imitate nature and bring sprig conditions to my hens, The que%stion le, does it pay? It Pays me. "Cabbage and any of the beef family are green feeds which I used profitably to feed my chickens in the winter, Green cured alfalfa steamed or boiled, sprouted oats, or pumpkins have also been profitable' green feeds for my chickens." Lea NOTES. Vegetables should form a good pert of the diet for poultry throughout the entire year. Equal parts of corn, wheat and oats by weight makes a good scatter feed. Sproutedoatsle one of the most pro- ductive egg foods for winter feeding. Plenty of exercise, good food and dry air are necessary for winter ,egge. It has been found that a few thor- ough applications of crude petroleum to the interior- of poultry houses will destroy completely the comruon red mite infeeting chickens. Egg e of inferior market quality, as to size, slidne and color, should not be used for hatching because the pullete hatched from them may lay the same kind of eggs. Leghorns are light birds and fly high. On this account it is difficult to 'keep them confined. On places whore the chickens are to be con- fined heavier birds evill be more eatis- factory, besides when a. fowl is wanted for the table the heavier birds supply the most meat. The utility advocates can all cry more utility regardless of all else, but the fact remains that the poultry - breeder with utility coupled with good standard requirements is the one that will add the best balance to his ledger. The buying public are fast becombag educated along these • . . Sciatica Vanishes Instantly U fierviline is Used CAN YOU BEAT THIS CASE? No ordinary liniment will even re- lieve Sciatica.
