FARMERS' COLUMN.

The following items are cullad from the «■ Farm Notes " of the Weehhj Press :— POTATO GRUB. This pest has caused enormous losses from time to time m the potato crops of Tasmania and New South Wales. Un fortunately it is not a stranger to New Zealand, not only m the North but m the South as well, more particularly m the North. We have seen it m Canterbury not long since, when it completely des* troyed a large plot of potatoes. Potato growers shou'd be on the lookout and Fee that all worm-eaten tubers are destroyed. This pest,. is figured mMr Kirk's report.

GRAIN OR CORN WEEVIL.

This destructive insect is capable of destroying large quantities ol .torud grain. J-oi long uince th*y appeared m vast nnm ber.-: m Timaru, where ihey totaby d.sr.royed large quantities of wheat. Those who store wheat • should keep a 6hnrp lookout for tha pest. The follow ing has oeen found i ffectlve : — The granary should be made as airtight as possible. Bisulphide of carbon sprinkled over the corn or placed on dishes on top o" the corn, at the rate of lib to the ton of grain ; the bisulphide of carbon evaporates rapidly on exposure to the acmoaphere, and as the fumes are heavy, they quick'y Bink through the grain, killing all che insects present. The cost of the ohemioal is ls per lb. It must, however, be rem ambered that the fumes of bisulphi le of carbon are very explosive, so that no fire, not even a lighted cigar or pipe, should be allowed on the premises during the treatment of the grain. This is the only precaution necessary.

POTATO SCAB.

Th's ia a very generally distributed disease, and is said to indicate potatoes which will boil. dry. and mealy. Attacks *re sometiui.s so severe as to render a laige portion of the crop unmarketable. In such cases the scabs are often l-Bth of an inch m depth. Mr Kirk states thab the fuxgus will live m the ground for ' several years. Experiments conducted at tha State College of Michigan have proved that ncabby seed potatoes, how ever badly affected, treated ai follows, will produce clean potatoes. Dissolve loz of corrosive sublimate m twelve gallons of cold wacer, and mis thoroughly. This liquid must be mixed and kept m a wooden vessel. The potato seed must be steepad for an hour and a half m the liquid, placed m a gunny bag or a basket ; take oare not to put them m the old infected bags. It would be well if our potato growers would make a note of these instructions, m order that tbey may know how to act if required. What has happened m the North Island may at any time make its appearance m the South.

FEEDING CALVES ON SEPARATED MILK.

We have from time to time drawn attention to the necessity fur supplement ing the milk as it came from the separator, especially when used for rearing calves. Tha simplest and easiest method of doing this ia by the addition of linseed gruel. Every dairy farmer should grow half an acre or an acre of European flax for the seed. A. well prepared piece of lan I free from weeds and m gocd heart, wilt pro duce from fifteen to twenty bushels of seed per acre. The seed ground . into meal, or even steeped for forty-eight hours m water, produces a mucilage, one pint per day of which mixed with the separated milk will supply the whole of the nutriment extracted by the separator A quarter of a pound of 'he meal will Bufti:e for each calf per day ..peaking to a runtiolder recent'y on the question of irock raisins', he said that his experience of young stock reared on separated milk was that they rarely made thrifty animals. An expression of opinion from such an authoriy warrant- va in drawing special attention to this imtter. Ie mu?t also b. remembered that flax-sei d used as ab^va is a must excellent. condiment for working horses and for dairy cattle, and, indeed, stock. of all kinds. The plant is .a ily grown. AU th.tis required is tba*. th. JanJ shall be free from word, and of good qu-li'y.

THE LONDON BUTTER MARKET.

Tha T.iTidon correspondent of the Otago Daily Times says, uuder da'e Juuua y 3:— Ah to the butter market, Me-sra W. Wtdlel aad 10. wire to mo as follows: — *•!. appears, on the mont Ltvorsble view, we are to have ourim* the next quarter 80,000cwt of butter from Europe m txeess of la*t year, while from Australia the deficiency will be about 60,0000wb. Add to this the 62.0Q0cwt duo to normsl increase, snl there remains a shortage of import to the extent of 22. 000c wt. The Home supply ie m impossible to estimate m figures, but

it may be taken as about ten per cent below last year, which was a yesr ef extraordinary production. The Danish i Committee have made no change m the official quotation. Supplies of Conti nental butter for the week ending De cember 28 were -2,725cwt below the previous week, Ib is expected that the quantity imported this week will be about the same, so that there will be a tern- porary .hortage of ov.r 1000 tou.s. This j wil! turn buyers to Australasian, which is m fair supply and of good quality." Latest prices as quoted by this same firm are: — "Choicest" New Zealand frtc.urv butter, 104s to 110s • "best' New Zealand factory better, 98h to 102*. There is etill no "New Zealand cheese m the maket, and no quotations are avail able.

FROZEN MEAT MARKET.

Under even date the same correspon dent writes : — With regard to New Zealand frozen meat I learn that the s.s. Hawke's Bay, docked last Friday, began discharging at 1.30 p.m. on that day, and by Wednesday afternoon had landed her whole cargo, of 52,800 carcases, 39,390 pieces of mutton, and 333 quarters of beef, though rain caused some delay. The Aotea starred dipoharging on Tuesday, and is still working overtime to get through her large cargo of 57,976 caroaies of mutton and 106 quarters of beef. The CO. and D. Company write to me to-day: — " Much of the recently landed meat is stale and faded, apparently from long colonial storing, and o.i.f. sales forward have again proved not altogether satis* faotory, from alleged Inacouracy of des cription and lack of prime condition. Trade this week has been almost nominal. Monday and Tuesday saw no demand, and made a bad ending to a bad year's trade. As yet this year has been no improvement —unseasonable weather, warm and muggy, with a general absence of life and laok of demand. Prioes are weaker. Best Canterburys aro nominally 4£dper Ib, but very few are . ohanging . hands ; second clans mutton is worth about 3Jd per lb or a shade Ips - , transactions being very re stricted for all kinds."

tfs* ■ [ ■ MAKES PURE BLOOD. Pure blood means health, strength, and happiness. Bad blood means scrofula, pimples, boils, carbuncles, ulcers, tumors, and other dangerous ailments. Ayer's Sarsaparilla cleanses, vitalizes, and enriches the blood, thus imparting renewed life and energy. It cures disease by removing the cause from the system ; it takes away That Tired Feeling, quickens the appetite, and restores HEALTH AND STRENGTH to those who have become enervated by climatic or other influences. Out of many thousands of testimonials, v.. have space here only for the following : Mr. I*. Dennis, Adelaide, So. Australia, writes:— "lt is with very much pleasure that- 1 testify to tho great benefit I received from using your wonderful blood-purifier. I was a sufferer for years from indigestion, loss ftf strength and appetite, and constipation. My whole system seemed to be thoroughly out of order. A friend finally told me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I followed his advice,, though feeling discouraged at the fruitless results of other treatment, and 1 am thankful to state that a few bottles completely cured mc." Mr. Eo*----:t GoonrKLLow, Mitcham, So. Australia, writes:— "l have used Ayer'!; Sarsaparilla m my family for years, and would not be without it. I nwil io sunVr with boils and skin eruptions, attended with great lassitude and general debility. In fact* I was so ill that I could not attend lo my business. Being advised to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla I did so, and lam happy to pay tbat the medicine restored me to perfect health. I have since used Ayer's Saraiparilla.for my children, m various complaints, and it has always proved effective. J can safely recommend it to sufferers as the best blood-puriiier m existence." «u_M-a__i-«_a_c_aM A Record of Half a Century. Highest Award® ... the World's Croat Expositions*
