Since the in sect, as far n s observed, feeds in its larval condition oidy on corn, the plant ing of infested land to any other crop leads to the starvation of the young when they hatch in the spring. One other measure is to be recommended as a general farm practice. It consists in the maintenance of the fertility of the soil by the use of manures and oth er fertilizers. Although this does not diminish attack, it sometimes enables the plants to withstand Injury.—F. 11. Chittenden. THINNING VEGETABLES. Tin- Klml t.f Information That 1» Vol In llii* UimiWk. It has be. n said that more vood vex etable* have been ruined for want of being thinned at the proper time than by any other cause. However that may be, one of the most puzzling things for the beginner is to find out whether any particular vegetables should be thinned or transplanted ami how far apart the plants should stand after ward, says the Garden Magazine in preface to the following: Seeds are sown very thickly with the idea of having plenty of young plants so as to provide against accidents or loss from insects. The thinnings of the following crops can be used in the kitchen: Celery, lettuce, carrots, beets and spinach. The home gardener, therefore, had better do the thinning of such crops by degrees—not at one time, as is the rule with the gardener for market. Thin out as necessity arises, but don't hesitate to pull up and destroy the young plants before the row gets too crowded and the pla nts become spindling. Thill Them Twice. Seedlings that are allowed to remain where sown need to be thinned as care fully as possible, the first time when they are alnnit two Inches high, In some cases even sooner. The stockiest plants should 1m? allowed to remain, after thinning them to about one-half the distance the plants are to stand from oil" another. When these plantlets liave a still sturdier growth they may be finally thinned to the distance apart nt which they are to remain, firming the soil each time in order that tlie roots of those that remain may not be left loose.
