'elute Grubs and lti treworms,
White grubs are the larvae of the
large dark brows May beetles, or
"June Bugs," as they are commonly
called, and, being underground
feeders, are very difficult to control,
A. great variety of experiments have
been made with chemicals of many
sorts, but none has proved successful.
The only method of control is the
adoption o1 a system of rotation of
crops_ No field should be left in
grass for more than three years. An
old pasture, when broken up, is often
found to be full of these grubs, and
they will attack the roots of any
plants that are sown in place o1 their
ordinary food which has been remov-
ed.
emoved. Corn and potatoes will stiffer
severely, but clover is least affected
by them and may be seeded down
with rye. After the second year any
crop will usually be safe. Deep
ploughing in ':October before the
weather becomes cold will expose the
grubs and destroy many, Pigs and
poultry, crows and other birds and
skunks greedily devoid them. Where
an old field is found to be badly in-
fested, it is a good plan to turn in
some hogs; they will soon root out
and eat up all the grubs. If the field
is large it would be well to confine
them with hurdles to a small portion
at a time, and when that is cleared
move them on to a fresh feeding
ground.
Wireworms: are the larvae of Click
beetles, so called from their curious
habit of springing sip in the air with
a "click" when laid upon their backs.
The beetles are long and narrow,
rounded above, with' very short legs,
.i.nd usually .dull gray or black in
color. The grubs are long and
round, with a very hard skin, from
which ;they get their name of Wire-
worms, and yellow or whitish in
:oior. Their life -history is very simi
.ar to that of the White Grubs, as
.hey thrive in old pastures and take
.wo or three years to mature. They
:eed . upon the roots of any plants.
.hat may be grown where they, are,
.nd are especially injurious to corn
.nd potatoes, in the latter of which
hey often burrow great holes. As
et the case of the White Grubs, no
.i•eatzent of the soil with poisons of
my kind has been found effective.
rh ere is a prevalent idea that salt
viii kill' them:, but this is an entire
nistake, The only. remedy is a short
•otation of crops as is the case' of
eihite Grubs. Ploughing in August
aid ""cross -ploughing in September
via destroy great numbers. Clean
urtivation, leaving no weeds or oth-
r shelter for the beetles, in fence
o1ncrs•and elsewhere is also,,o-f eain
poi tatsces' Flax is 'a particularly vat=
ebit..:er.oj for sowing on old sod
ie worms injure it but very little. ' ""
B-etik up the old pastures is the
vice all farmers Should follow.-

from evaporating. The first can be
secured by fall ploughing and in
ether waysmaking the soil surface
as open and receptive as possible for
the easy entrance of the water and
the evaporation can be prevented to
a large degree by keeping the sur-
face, after the crops are sown or
planted, well mulched. The soil
mulch, one to three inches deep, is
found to be very effective in keeping
the filen water from reaching the sur-
face and there evaporating under the
sun and wind. The surface of the
.oil, and this applies chiefly to heavy
soils, should not be allowed to be-
come crusted, as a crust on the top
cracks open and allows the water
to escape. The best illustrations of
mulching and its good effects are
found in every well -tilled garden,
but to a large degree the practice is
practicable on the farms by a judi-
cious use of the harrow and roller.
When the grain fields are rolled im-
mediately after seeding, the harrow
should be used; if power enough be
available both may' be passed over
the field at once. Even after the
grain is up 3 or 4 inches, should a
heavy rain pack down the soil, the
roller may be used to good advan-
tage in re-establishing a mulch. The
more frequently the corn and root
fields are cultivated throughout the
season of growth, the more effective
the mulch will be to con terve the soil
moisture.—R. R. Graham, B.S.A.,

liot Weather Suggestion's on the
Care of Cream.
The season of 1913 is °likely to be
one specially trying for diose who
desire to ship sweet cream; en ac-
count of the great scarcity of ice. In
many localities, not a pound of ice
was harvested during the winter sea-
son of 1918-19. The ice -houses are
empty and there is nothing but water
to cool the cream. On some farms
there is a scarcity o1 water during.
hot weather which means added diffi-
culty in. cooling 'the cream.
The first thing is to have a cool
ing tank of some kind for holding
the cream can. One properly built
of cement, or wood and insulating
material; is best. Failing this, a coal-
oil barrel, with the inside burned to
remove the' coal -oil flavor, sunk part-
ly in the ground and having. a cover
will answer the purpose. This should
be near the well so as to be conven-
ient for pumping cold water into it.'.
Each lot of cream should be cool-.
ed at once after separating, and be-
fore mixing with previous lots. A
separate pail or can should be used..
for this part of the cooling process:.

feeping pails, cares, etc., clean,
and immediate cooling to 50 deg F.,

"Protecting Pigs Front Sunseald,"
Now that the hot summer weather
has come those who own light colored
pigs are beginning to complain of
sunburn or sunseald, This condition
i.
ofthe hide of the manual is similar
to that of people; it gives the same
degree of uncomfortableness to the
pig and is caused in the same Man-
ner. Consequently, the saute method
of prevention and treatment may be
carried out.
In the first Place, "an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,"
and tine prevention is shelter. No
matter what kind of stock is in the
pasture, shade is essential, and much
more so isit for Pigs on aceount of
the thin coating at hair on their
bodies. If the pasture for pigs is so
situated that there are no trees to
afford shade to the animals it would
be just as well to keep t'hena shut up
during the hottest parts of the day
and allow them to run out during the
evening, night and early morning
hours. By keeping them its a pen
that is somewhat darkened, they
miss both tbe liot rays of the sun
and the flies that are always so bad
around a stable of any kind, during
the hot weather.
Some people provide a "hog wal-
low" in their pasture which is a very
good thing, but the location sbould
be some place in the shade, as it is
a well-known fact that the hide will
blister far quicker when wet than
When dry. A pig seems to think that
a wallow le an essential thing, and
if he persuades the farmer into
'thinking the same, the farmer should
lead him to believe that during the
heat of the day it is the best time to
keep out of It.
If the pigs have become sunburned
at all, it is well to keep thein inside
for a few days and thoroughly grease
their bodies, with some nice smooth
grease such as Vaseline. 'The grease
tends to keep the air from the irri-
tated skin and ease the uneomfort
ablenes5 of the animal. Vaseline
also has a wonderful healing and
curative property which makes it
preferable in such cases. — .T, C.
