TO DESTBOY GUT WORMS.

Editor Tribune: The "American Florist" for June 1st, gives thefollowing remedy for destruction ofcut worms, which seems to be rea-

sonable, and as I hear much com-

plaint of the ravages of these peststhis season, it is worth while tory it: Paris green 3 lbs., sugar 3bs., wheat bran 80 lbs. Mix dry,

and sift on the ground inhabited bythe worms.

For small gardens and flowerbeds about one-twelf- th of thisquantity would probably be ample.

Yours truly,F. E. Bullard.

If this is neededI shall in the future know how toproceed, and an information willbe jgrompl31odithtlie.prjpjerofficers. This a fair warning.

Farmings by irrigation you usewater when want it; depending"upon rainfall use it when youcan get it. There is a distinctionand a difference here that is quitefully appreciated. But it is stillgrowing upon the people, and itwill one day result in a windmilland reservoir system of supplementary irrigation for a large scopeot country that regularly receivesan adequate annual rainfall, butwhich in point of time is neverproperly apportioned so as to pro-

duce tne best effects in the cultivation of the crops grown on thoselands. This is a feature of irriga-tion that is receiving the attentionof thinking" men to-d- ay as much asis any of the seemingly more im-

portant features. The need of ithas long" been felt, Thenumber of worms, bugs and insectsgenerally has been sufficient thisyear to overdo the demands of thetraditional early bird, and all ofhis brothers, sisters, cousins and

aunts thrown in. A dry. open win-ter has been very favorable to thepropagation of insect life in all itsvaried forms. It demonstrates theneed of active measures in thehands of intelligent farmers for theprotection of grains and fruits fromthe depredations of these hungryhordes. Readers of agriculturalpapers have opportunity toacquainted with the most approvedmethods of combating these peststhrough the use of poisons. But,do they practice what they know?That is the most serious questionof all. It is the same old circum-stance: "One man can lead thepony to the brink, but twentythousand cannot make him drink."It is one thing" to get the farmer toread and to know, but it is quiteanother to get him to act. Butprogress is continually being" madealong" this and kindred lines withthe average farmer, and it is well"Stthat it is so, for with the advance-

ment of agriculture in any countrythe obstacles to be overcome nevercease to multiply. It is out of thequestion for human ingenuity toeliminate these difficulties as theyarise, but they can be kept in checkand it is the farmer's business tosee that this is done. NebraskaFarmer.
