Some Up-to-Date Hints cul- tivation of the Soll Yields Thereof—Norticulture, Viticulture and Floriculture. About and The Spotted Apple Tree Borer. | A very similar insect to the round- headed borer, both in appearance and , in habits is the spotted apple-tree bor- , er (Saperda cretata). The adult beetle jis of nearly the same size and form as the round-headed borer, differing su- Perficially by having two white spots , on each elytron instead of the longitud- inal white lines which distinguish the latter. The larva and pupa are so sim- {ilar that no description need be made of them. Although the species has a | fairly wide distribution, corresponding somewhat closely to that of the com- | mon species, specific injury by it has only been noted in two states, in Mich- igan by Prof, A. J. Cook and in Iowa by Prof. H. Osborn. In the former state this borer is reported-as quite as ; common and destructive as Saperda candida. Its occurrence is also record- ed in Canada, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio, and there are specimens in the National Museum also from Northern Illinois and Texas. It | has only been observed injuring apple and wild crab, but its occurrence has , also been noted on June-berry and thorn. According to Osborn the “eggs are evidently laid in pairs, half an iuch ‘or more apart, along the branch, the Jarvae of each pair hatching upon le *“—Saperda cretata: female beetle—enlarged one-third (original).. working in opposite directions around the branch, at first just beneath the bark, afterward (probably after the first year) entering the hard wood.” The remedies for this species are the same as for the round-headed borer with the extra precaution that the larger branches also be protected by the wash applied. * * * Note.—A third species of Saperda (fayi), has similar habits and is like- ly to attack apple and similar culti- vated pomaceous trees, but is thus far | known only on thorns. | The Novius Cardinalis in Portugal. A report sent out by the United States Department of Agriculture says: } The Department of Agriculture of Portugal, through Dr. Howard, ento- mologist of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, and the courteous co-operation of the State Board of Hor- ticulture of California, has succeeded in repeating in Portugal the wonderful success effected in California some years ago partly through the efforts of the department in saving the orange industry of that state from annihila- tion, owing to the depredations of the white or fluted scale (Icerya purchasi), by the introduction from Australia of | the Novius (Vedalia) cardinalis, which | preys upon the scale and thus keeps it ; in check. | In September, 1896, Dr. Howard was appealed to by Portuguese authorities | for advice as to the most efficacious means of combating the ravages of the | seale which had appeared in disastrous | numbers in the orange and lemon | groves along the river ‘Tagus. Dr. Howard having satisfied himself, by ' examination of photographs and specs- | mens of the insect received from Por- tugal, that it was undoubtedly the | Icerya purchasi of California experi- | ence, strongly advised his Portuguese correspondents to attempt the intro- duction of the Novius cardinalis and pledged his co-operation in an effort to | secure specimens and ship them to Portugal. His advice and proffers of assistance were cordially accepted. In October, 1897, Dr. Howard secured from ; the State Board of Horticulture of California about sixty specimens of the Novius cardinalis, in the adult condi- tion, and some larvae. These were packed in moss with a plentiful supply of Icerya as food, and forwarded from Washington by direct mail. Only five of the Novius reached Portugal alive. They were at once placed. in gtass jars at the Chemical Agricultural Experi- ment Station at Lisbon and were so successfully cared for that when heard from in December there was already a numerous progeny. November 22, a second colony of the ‘predatory beetles was received from California. In order to hasten the journey of this colony to Portugal, Dr. Howard took the packet to New York and placed ic in cold storage, awaiting the arrival of the direct steamer to Lis- bon. But in spite of these precau- tions, and owing to several unfortun- ate delays in transit, the packet did not reach Lisbon until forty-four days after it left California. One male and five females were still alive, and, owing to the great care taken of them by the Portuguese officials, these survived and multiplied, Owing to the great fe- cundity of the Novius, the breedings from the six which reached Lisbon in a few months reached many thousands, and colonies were established in Lis- bon and its environs. Reports received by Dr. Howard last August were to the effect that many thousands of the beetles had been dis- tributed and already about ninety col- onies had been established in and around Lisbon. In the orange orcharé around the propagation station the beetles and larvae of .4ovius were reck- oned by millions and colonies were be- gardeners who asked for them. Senhor Lecocq, who had charge of the work at Lisbon gratefully acknowledges the in- valuable benefit done to Portuguese agriculture and horticulture by the in- troduction of the beetle. Later infor- mation is to the effect that colonies of the Novius were established on not less than 487 estates, whence naturally many others were formed by radiation. Gardens and orchards that were com- pletely infested with the scale and nearly ruined are today entirely clean or well on the way toward becoming so. The entomologist would not have been able to assist the Portuguese gov- ernment in accomplishing this great work had it not been for the enlight- ened policy of the State Board of Hor- ticulture of California in continuing the breeding in confinement of these predaceous beetles long after any ap- parently urgent necessity for such work had disappeared in California, and for the prompt courtesy of the board in placing living specimens at his disposal. Draining Muck. The great value of these soils when Properly reclaimed has led European farmers and investigators to devote much attention to their utilization, and increased attention is being directed to the same subject in this country, says the annual report of the department of Agriculture. The salt marshes, espe- cially along the New England coast, have been extensively used for many years for the production of forage, and in many cases expensive and elaborate systems of reclamation have been car- ried out on them. Reclaimed swamp or muck soils are being extensively utilized in Michigan, Ohio, and other regions for the production of celery and onions, for which they seem to be peculiarly adapted. Several of the ex- periment stations, notably those of Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan, have undertaken to study the best means of reclaiming such soils. While the con- ditions vary considerably in different cases and each soil may present some peculiar conditions of its own, the gen- eral principles and practices are the same for all this class of soils. Thor- ough drainage is the first essential. This is not only necessary for the pur- pose of removing the excess of water, but to allow the free circulation of air in the soil, in order that the poisonous compounds which are usually present may be oxidized and thus rendered harmless, and that the processes of de- composition and nitrification so neces- sary in this class of soil may be set up. The drainage is best accomplished at first by means of open ditches at fre- quent intervals. Muck soils settle greatly when drained, and if tiles are laid in the soft muck they will rise to- ward the surface, and thus become in- effective. Draining is most effective when carried out gradually and the soil should not be allowed to dry out too quickly, since its mechanical condition may be thus injuriously affected, its ab- sorptive power for water in many cases is almost completely destroyed, and the decomposition of the organic matter greatly retarded, After the soil has become firm tiles may be laid, espe- cially if collars are used. The Indiana station has shown that in case of the black soils of that state, which are probably representative of a class, tile drainage is effective only when the sand and gravel which underlie such soils are tapped. By sinking in this underlying layer of sand or gravel a series of wells which are connected With tile at the depth at which it is de- sired to maintain the water level, the soils may probably be thoroughly drained without difficulty, A Cheap Ice House. No expensive structure is needed for an ice house, though there is an ob- ject to have no wasting away, it should be made tighter than where this does not matter so much, says a writer in Country Gentleman. Slabs from the saw mill do very nicely for the roof, and the sides may also be of rough boards. Where desired the ice house may be one corner of the woodshed partitioned off, in which ice will keep quite as well as in a more costly struc- ture. Even stacking is often resorted to, by laying down rails for a floor, on which to stack the blocks comparative- ly. Cover heavily with some material which is non-conducting, ‘such. as straw, hay, etc., finishing the top so as to shed rain, bracing the sides with boards. and rails to keep covering in position. Care must be taken in get- ting at the ice, always to open at same place and cover up thoroughly, or some hot day will turn it to water. In put- ting in the ice no matter where it may be, always surround it with non-con- ducting material like sawdust. Too Late Melons.—Every year, when frost cuts the tender leaves of melons and stops further growth, the cultiva- tor finds a great number of melons unripe, and therefore worthless. For an unripe melon, being mostly water, and having very little substance, isn’t worth much as feed for stock and is not, indeed, as good as a green pump- kin of the same weight. Of course all this extra growth of vine and the un- ripe melons on it is wasted plant food. If concentrated on the melons earlier started, it would make them larger and also make them ripen earlier. With a small amount of trouble both the number and value of ripe melons may be thus increased.—Ex. Growth of Strawberry Plants.—As the strawberry plant increases its root growth even in cold weather, when the ground is not frozen, and ripens its fruit early in the spring, a part of the manure should be applied in the fall, especially if it be stable manure, As a top dressing its value is then doubled, for its fertilizing powers are most effective. As a mulch it protects from cold, and it lessens the freezing sand heaving of the ground, so damag- ing distributed daily to farmers and | irg to the rcots.—The Indiana Farmer, | HEALTH WITH WEALTH. New Western Canada Districts Adapted to Ranching and Mixed Farming. Calgary, Alberta, Nov. 4, 1898. To the Editor of the Duluth Evening Herald, Duluth, Minn., Dear Sir—As to many replies to the home-seeker of Minnesota, I can cheerfully say this country is better for a poor man than ! Minnesota if he wants to farm and | raise stock. I have spent one winter | and two summers here, which I find more pleasant than any winter I have i seen in Minnesota for eight years. The | seasons are short, but the effect of: long days of bright sunshine produces } avery rapid growth of vegetation. There is good money in raising coarse i grains and feeding to hogs and cattle, for pork and beef always bring a good price here. Hogs are worth from $4! to $4.50 live weight per cwt., and beef about the same. There is plenty of railroad land to be had very cheap and on long-time payments. A man does not want to think he can pick up mon- ' ey on the ground here, but there is lots of it in the ground, and labor will take it out. There is a vast scope of coun- try north of Edmonton, Alberta, which can be settled, and a large scope of country west of Edmonton adapted to ranching and mixed farming. This country is the best place I have ever seen for the cure of consumption. I could refer you to different people here who were in the last stages of con- sumption, who are now in_ perfect health and able to do any kind of hard work and are very prosperous. Hoping this may benefit home-seekers who are willing to work for an honest living, I remain, yours very truly, (Signed.) CHARLES N. SCOTT.

Before finishing the first bottle of your Vegetable Compound I could tellit was doing me good. I continued its use, also used the Liver Pills and | Sanative Wash, and have been greatly helped. I would like to have you use my letter for the benefit of others.” Tirs, FLORENCE A. WOLFE, 515 Mulberry “ St., Lancaster, Ohio, writes: “Dear Mrs. Pinkuam:—For two years I was troubled with what the loeal physicians told me was inflamma- tion of the womb. Every month I suf- fered terribly. I had taken enough medicine from the doctors to cure any- one, but obtained relief for a short timeonly. Atlast I concluded to write to you in regard to my case, and can say that by following your advice I am now pefectly well.” Tirs. W. R. BATES, Mansfield, La., writes : “Before writing to you I suffered dreadfully from painful menstrua- tion, leucorrhceea and sore feeling in the lower partof the bowels. Nowmy friends want to know what makes me look sowell. Idonot hesitate one min- ute in telling them what has brought about this great change. I cannot praise Lydia E.
