The beetle of the corn root worm is

| or preonish yellow* color. It Is about J
[ the same size as the striped cucumber :
j beetle, measuring about a fifth of or a
| little more than au inch In length ami Is
I a little more Blender and less pear

only four-tenths of an inch.
< )ecurrence of the corn root worm is :
known from central New York west- ,

which they mine either upward or
downward, and seem capable of travel
ing from one root to another.
lyosses can be prevented by simply
following crop rotation. 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.

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.
AecorilliiK li> Itule.
The fluurcs .show the size the soed
Uuks should be when handled and tlio
maximum distances apart they should
lie after thinning:
Asparagus—3 Inches high, 24 by 30.
