cannot begin to practice whitey dairying in

To Kill Wire -Worms.
---
! For throe years tho ontomologioal division
of Cornell University hos been carrying on
,experiments 'looking to the discovery of
soma percetical way to prevent the ravages
' of wire.worme. The Mowry of these expert-
' mente has just been sent ont, in a bulletin
'mid the resnit summarized are as follows:
I Grains of corn were coated with flour
:paste containing Paris green and planted.
:34.1e only epparent result was to vetard the
sprouting of the seeds, the wire -worms
apparently thriving upon the poisoned paste.
Ulm rose bug is another insect which 11 is
'practicably impossible to kill with Peels
green,'
;• Coating the Bead corn with tar or making
in salt brine, copperas solution, kerosene
oil, or turpentine interfered with the gor•
minetion 01.1011 more than it did with the
appetite of .the wire -worm. Soaking in
strobg solution of strychnine failed to rend.

Starvation was found to be as ineffectual
!as feeding on poison, as soil was kept entire..
.ly bare of vegetation for an entire season
' without reducing the number of Worms.
13uelcwileat, Unease mustard apd rape
' have been moommended dope upon
1 which wire -worms will not feed, but in these
experiments the worms lived and thrived
as well epon the roots of these plants as
they did upon those of timothy and clover.
Kerosene oil, crude petroleum anti bisul-
platle of ovation were applied to the sod as
insectieldee, the ket,osene and petroleum
being also nsed in the form of emulsions.
They killed the wire-wortne when applied
enflioient quantity to destroy all vegeta-
tion ohm. Their uso was found ins pmeticable
on account of the cost.
:Memo farmers believe that salt either kills
wire-woems or drives them deeper into 1110
soil beyond the root, of crops, and a sevies
of carefully planned experiments were made
to teet this theory.
The results showed that in order to des.
troy wire.worms salt must he used at the
rate of about eight tons to the acre, or over
one per dint of the soil to a depth of four
inches must be salt. Holf a toll of salt to
the dire was found sufficient to prevent one
half the wheat from germinating, and four
tons per acre, applied in jnly, killed all
the groan in a few days. ln soil salted at the
rate of 1,000 pounds per acre the worms
Were found, after some months, as numer-
ens and as near the surface as in unsalted
soil.
Katinit, a German potash salt noW 1100(1

to be useful in exterminating wire -worms,

Prapping by baits produced the only re-
sult that gave any encouragement, but
those baits caught, not the wire worms, but

Sowing Seeds,
The more evenly socia can be distributed

yield of crops. The fertility and condition

seed that must be used. ' On thin soil, if
, the plants stand too close together, there
will not be a sufficient amount of avitilable
, plant food to seettre vigoreits growth.
000 advantage with drill planting of
• corn, potatoes and cane, and in fact all
oultivitted crops, is that the plants being
1 moro evenly distributed secure a better sup-
ply of plant Mod than if two or 1 hree plants
must draw their supply from the same

With small grain cisips like wheat, oats,

Having the soil in a good tilth before

HaPing the soil in a good oondition, sowing
the seed in good seaeon, taking pains to dis-

The Oolumbian Tower.
After much uncertainty and discussion,
it ita.s been definitely decided, so says Est.
llitioarino, 11101 a high tower shall form one
of the conspicuous attractions of the exhibi-
tion at Chicago in 1893. We do not ueder-
stand that the work is any portion of the
official plan ; but that, on the contrary, it
is matte the subjeot of a oonoession to the
capitalists who provide the necessary funds
and. expect to gain a large return. We
think it anteater of regret Oust: an exhibition
80 original in all tts general feathres should
be marred by the adaptation of an Mem-
though itbsolutely novel and successful at
Paris in 889 -from another exhibition.
13111 this is a matter of opinion, and it is
eminently satisfactory to note that the
Columbian tower has (leen designed by so
eminent an engineee as Mr. George S. Mori.
son, of New York and Chicago. it is stated
that the capital will be furnished by Mr.
Carnegie. We aro without details at pre-
sent of this intereeting work, but we publish
a perspective view of the general design.
The tower will be higher than Mutt of Eitfel
by move thee 1 50 feet, and, Mr. N1.000011
has been uo slavish imitator of Eiffel's beau -
Wel structure. Thore is not much time to

The 23 of July dosed very dark and wet

brought down a heavy fog. Soon after mid-
night the ice taught the ship and swung her
head round toward Capo resolution. The
dew endeavored to turn her back, for the
ice was roaring and crashing in the gale and
thumping us at an awful rate. Some large
pieces of toe were actually flung on the deck.
At 3:30 the ice broke our extra rudder and
while the crew was fixing it the Captain
shouted : ' There is land close to us.' Throtigh
a momentary rift in the fog we saw that we
were close on an ice shore, whither the gale
and the tide must have carried us, and we
were driving along it at a rapid rale.
" At 4 oadock the captain told me to be
ready in case we struck the rooks. The
prospect was very startling. The fog was
lifting, and there not a quarter of a mile
away was the rock-bound,

was meantime carrying us and the ice past

much more sartbee to the wind than 1 he ice
did, Was gradually forced through the ice
between us and the shore, though we had
two ice anchors and two grappling irons out
and made fast to any suiteble places. For
hours both men and offieces worked withont
food or rest. After seven miles of this peril-
