life History.
The hte'histor' of the,insec
,lr ` _t, y G is
as follows: The adults, which are
known as bawfiies, are small four -
„winged flies about a quarter of an
inch in length. The female has the
abdomen yellowish and the rest gf
he body blackish in color. The male
Y, is for' the Most part blackish or
black. ' The files appear in spring
very' soon after the leaves have ex-
'paraded. Eggs are laid on the under
surface of the leaves in chains along
the "main veins., The young larvae
on hatching feed upon the'foliage,
and become full grown in two or
three weeks. Then they drop to the
ground and form little cases in which
they pupate, a new rbreed of flies
emerge, lay their eggs, and from
these there. comes a second brood of
larvae whichMax be seen on . the
plants at the time when the currants
are ripe. When these larvae are full
grown they enter the soil, forte little
cases.' or cocoons, and remain there
till the next year, when they pupate
and emerge.' as adults.
Method of, Controi.
These are easy.insects to kill. All
currant'. bushes , and • gooseberries
bhould. be sprayed with from 'two to
three pounds arsenate of; lead paste,
'or half that amount of the powder
f,orm,7 4In forty gallons of water as
soon' as the leaves have become well
expanded. Particular eare should be
taken to spray -thoroughly the Inner
part`s of the bush. This: wili.kill alt
•alae first brood, If a second brood
appears hellebore should be used in-
stead of arsenate' Of lead, in the. pro=
-portionof one .ounce to one "gallon
of "water. Arsenate oflead would'
be dangerous on the ripe. fruit. The
insect occurs everywhere In the Pro-
'since,;,and everyone should prevent

iqusly insured by it, especially as it
is so easy to - control.

]Popular Varieties of Strawberries.
-From the beginning of commercial
otra`vberry growing,• about.1800; the
barge Early Scarlet was the leading
`variiity,grown in the, 1Jnited States,
About 1.8.60, the .wilson replaced; this
variety,,. -because it was much firmer
`.and ,was more suitable for shipping;
to,distant nrarliets, and Sts hardiness
and good bearing qualities' helped to
make strawberry growing more pope-
lar In Ontario. from about 1880
• 'rwrieties' began to repl'aee each other
to
more rapid succession, until, at
Present 25 Sorts constitute about 90
per .cent. of the total commercial
strawberry acreage. The Klondike,
the leading variety .in, the Southern
States, heads the list, constituting 28'
per scent. of the .total strawberry
acreage.; The Aroma, the -favorite
variety in .the 'South Central : States,
is second• with. 13 per cent, of the
total acreage, while the Dunlap in
the Northern:, States ranks third,
with 10 per cent. In Ontario among
the most popular varieties commen-
daily.are the Glen Mary, Williams,
Dunlap, Gandy, Splendid, Parsons,,,
and Sample. Among the fall boaters
the Superb and Progressive are
preferred.
Feeding the Cow Before Calving.'
The proper time to begin feeding
a',dairy>cow is six et eight weeks be-'
fore calving, and practical dairymen
agree that this preparation, has more
to do with the amount of milk and
butter kat which a cow produces'dur-
ing the lactation period than does
the feeding during any other period.
For cows calving during Ike sum-
mer or, early fallmost,dairymen like
to have a small pasture away front
the herd but with an abundance of
grass, and, in addition;' they like to
feed a suitable grail mixture. Coin
silage, with clever, or alfalfa hay end
a limited grain ration of throe parts
ground oats, two parts 'of bran, and
one part of oil 'ideal is especially
good for cows calving during winter
or early spring: After calving the.
cows shotild be brought slowly up to
full feed and thereby steadily to a
higher Prodt}etion.
tfeedinn. Young Chickens,
Young chickens should be ted from
'three to five times daily, depending
upon ones experience in feeding, says
the United States Department. of
Agriculture. Undo nhtedly chickens'
can be grown faster by feeding five
times daily than by feeding' .three.
tinges daily, but it should be borne hi
mind that moreharm can be done to
the young chickens by ovr r LeerLi'ng
than by underfeeding, and at no time

care must be, exercised tot to over-
feed young chicks that are congaed

Bets, It is based upon knowledge of
what the consumer wants. It gives
the consumer of farios products the
kind, shape, site and Civility of pro-,
ducts desired. it brings increased
returns to farmers and effects saw
Inge to .the middlemen.
Irt
the production of farm pro-
duct's, unavoidably snidely varying
shapes, sizes and qualities of pro-
ducts are brought into existence.
These must be sorted out so that the
product sent to -a certain market will
meet with • the approval ofthe pur
chaser.. Standardizing means that a
grade ofroduc t will be the same
p 4a
year in and Year out, in this way
oonfideueo in: grades may be built'up.
The 1' ol]y of Not Grading ,Instanced.
It must be ,remembered that con-
sumers, like farmers,, are engaged in
business, They are not able to sort
products. Therefore,: when they, pur-
chase ,
urchase, ungraded products they have
to buy things they don't want; and
this results in waste. Grading of
farm products would mean 'a .reduc:-
tion in the cost'of marketing. Fora
example, out of 2,600 cars of apples
appearing on a Chicago market with-
in a'period of throe months in the fall, •
of 1914, it was found that 410ears
were` unfit for sale; and not only`,
was this true; but they also depressed
the- price of; apples. The freight,,
cartage and labor of handling had
been, paid for the purpose ot,start
start-
ing..., 410 cars of apples on the way to
indeket, 'which; nobody would accept,
did not *alit, and" could not use.
Or. to take butter: Investigations
have demonstrated, that lack of grad-
ing- has resulted in•serious:loss to
middlemeu. In the state of Kansas
for fnstance; one-fifth of the butter
received was paid for at the rate of
27.lt eonta per pound,'—the rating'
price for butter—though this 20 per
cent.' had to he reworked before it
could be used by consumers. For
this butter renovatorg paid 20 centp
per pound, sothat there yeas a lois
of -7 centsger"pound. No middleman
can long stand this. •
The problem of financing the sale
of farm products is important. By
grading farm products • finance is
facilitated. Suppose a,farnrer has a
carload of 'a certain grade of pro-
duct. '
ro-duct..' He may go, to. the bank and
say: "I have a carload of No. 1
apples, I want to borrow some
money." The bank manager under-
stands what this means and his pre-
pared to advance .money. But-lf'the
farmer goes to' the bank with un-
graded products the banker., immedi-
ately: asks. ''What kind?' Who grew
them? Are ,they good o1' bad?" He
may. even require that. they ,be in-
shected; and in the end the farmer .'
will not get as satisfactory ad'Cances
as though the products was graded-
JQegcriptUnit vs. Inspection.
• Grading reduces -the selling cost
by enabling sale.by description rather,
than sale by inspection or by sample.
Sale by inspection 'requires 'that pro
ducts. be sent to• some central point
and that people go to see those pro-
ducts: It is easily seen that this •ya
an expensive way of selling; And not,
only. is this true, but it is oast' to
over-estimate the, requirements 'of
btiyers- on a certain day, white re-
sults in flooding of. the market., walk
consequent lowering' of price: Sale
by d'escription is made possible
ethrough advertising, but -before ad-
vertising can be successful products
Must be graded,' Not all advertising
is economical, but it has ,its place
d 1 effecting more efficient methods
of selling.
Graded products always bring bet-
ter prices to farmers, Agriculture ,is.
still the main industry 7in Ontario,
and this means that we must export
the surpius of farm products. - In
Ending markets for, this surplus we
come Into competition with New Zea-
land,
Denmark, Holland, Australia,''
and United States. Most of these
countries, certainly the first tour
named, enforce rigid inspection of
products for export. Why? . Because
grading is the basis of enlargement
of markets. Consumers demand the
very best of all products; ,their likes
and dislikes are varied, and we rnust
meet these demands. For many years
we have tried` to make the Nnglish-
man eat the sort of bacon we thought
he should eat; but he won't, Ile
prefers Danish bacon because - the
Da,ue sells flim the sort he wants,
properly graded, to 'meet all his re=
quirenrents. Or tape apples: A short
time ago' a certain gentleman from
Ontario endeavored to -establish a
Market for Ontario apples through
the consumer owned co-operative
stores in Great Britain, What was
the aras•lver? "Just es soon as you
get an organization^' from which we.
can order 10,000 boxes of No. l's or
No. 2's, graded and, packed In such
"a manner that We can depend upon
the quality year^in and year out, we
will talk business; but' until thou we
cannot rislc•: it,''
�1Tew; Zealand's Experience.
In
.New Zealand, farmers satlsfled
the homemarket for butter along
time ago. They had to - export the
surplus, and the Government offered
a premium tor the first- shipment of
butter which would satisfy cousuraers
in Great Britain. What was the re-
sult? Dishonest people stole brands.
of quality products and shipped ins•
feller' butter' under these brands.
This had a- bad effect. It was .then
found accessary to have Government
inspection which would extend right
back' to the producer,' so that infer-
ior butter could be traced to its
source and the- cause- removed.-"-•
