Paper For Market Reports.—W hat Is the best 
paper for market reports of prices ? r. c. m. 
A ns.—W e consider the Journal of Commerce and 
Commercial Bulletin the best. The double-headed 
title denotes a late combination of two commercial 
papers, making a better paper than either was alone. 
Making Bordeaux Mixture.— When mixing 
the Bordeaux Mixture for potatoes, after the lime 
has been slaked, should I stir the lime and water up 
before pouring the mixture on the copperas, or 
strain or pour the water off after the lime is settled 
and use the lime water only? C. j. f. 
Ans.—U se the clear water, only, straining the mix¬ 
ture If there Is the least sediment. This Is necessary 
to prevent the pump from clogging. See The R. N.- 
Y , Issue of June 24, page 436. 
Dessicated Vegetables.— Can I successfully 
desslcate beets, carrots, turnips, etc.; so that they 
will keep for any length of time and still be useful 
for soups, etc.? What books could I get on the sub¬ 
ject and whut machinery would be required ? 
Georgia. ’ D. m. b. 
Ans.—S uch vegetables are evaporated success¬ 
fully, and It Is simply a question of skill In the oper¬ 
ator. T'-ere are no books that we know of upon the 
subject except the pamphlets sent out by the man¬ 
ufacturers of evaporating machinery. Write to the 
American M'f'g. Co., Waynesboro, Pa. for their 
pamphlets, as well as t; others ad vertlslng In The 
R. N.-Y. An article on the evaporation of various 
vegetables was published in The Woman and Home 
Department, May 13, which was written bv a practical 
woman who has successfully performed the opera¬ 
tions she describes. 
A Gooseberry Gouger.—C an The Rural New- 
Yorker give me any remedy against the ravages of 
a green worm that perforates the green gooseberry 
and eats out the Inside ? The common worm that 
feeds on the leaves was exterminated by hellebore 
In water sprayed on the bushes, but this fruit eater 
bids defiance to the outside poison while It Is safely 
housed in the middle of the growing fruit. t. w. 
Connecticut. 
Ans. —This Is probably the Gooseberry Frutt-worra, 
a pale-green caterpillar about three-fourths of an 
Inch long. It Is hatched from an egg laid on the fruit 
soon after It sets, by a spotted, pale-gray moth. It 
bores Into the berry soon after hatching, and eats 
out the pulp, going to another berry as soon as it has 
finished one. Before the fruit ripens, it drops down to 
the ground, and there, among the leaves and other 
rubbish, It spins a cocoon and changes to a chrysalis. 
From this It emerges as a moth the following spring. 
There Is but one brood each year. From the nature 
of Its attack. It Is difficult to reach by means of Insec¬ 
ticides, so that hand picking Is recommended. It Is 
necessary to pick the affected berries quickly, as the 
caterpillars drop to the ground upon being disturbed. 
The affected berries may be easily detected. Many 
will be destroyed if poultry be allowed to run over 
the ground after the fruit Is gathered, and many 
more If the rubbish be raked up and burned in the 
autumn. 
Saving the Surplus.—I am very anxious to 
obtain a work on preserving the surplus In market 
gardening. For Instance, what can be done with the 
asparagus that cannot be marketed? w. »t. p. 
Illinois. 
ANS.—We know of no book w.iich will supply the 
Inquirer's needs If he will send to the different 
manufacturers of evaporating apparatus, they will 
send him pamphlets describing the processes of 
evaporating all kinds of fruits and vegetables. This 
Is the most practicable way for the average farmer 
to dispose of a surplus. Great quantities of aspara¬ 
gus are canned In the asparagus-growing district on 
Dong Island, especially In times of a glut, or of ex¬ 
tremely low prices. It Is difficult to describe any 
such process bo that one unfamiliar with the work 
can perform It successfully. Much must be learned 
from practical experience, and It Is best to begin In 
a small way. Briefly stated without details, the pro¬ 
cess for canning asparagus Is as follows: It must be 
canned as soon after cutting as possible. Wash 
thoroughly clean. Assort the different sizes, bunch, 
tie. placing the heads even, cutting off the butts, 
making the bunches 69 $ Inches long If the regular 
No. 3 square asparagus cans are used. The bunches 
are placed In a basket, usually of copper or iron, 
and Immersed In the cooking apparatus. The latter 
may be made of a good strong cask with one head 
knocked out, If It Is not desired to purchase a regu¬ 
lar cooker. It must be fitted up with a steam coll. 
The water must be boiling hot when the asparagus 
Is put In, and enough steam turned on to prevent the 
lowering of the temperature to any extent, so that 
it will cook rapidly. The time required Is from three 
to five minutes, depending upon the age of the 
asparagus; experience Is the only reliable guide. 
After being taken from the water. It Is allowed to 
drain for a minute, and then carefully transferred 
to the filling table, and the bunches spread out to 
prevent further cooking. The cans are then tilled 
with asparagus and afterwards filled about two- 
thirds full of boiling hot salt water. This is satd to 
be one of the most Important points In the whole 
process. The cans are then sealed, placed in an Iron 
cage, and lowered for from 20 to 35 minutes Into a 
steam-heated cooking vat, the water of which Is just 
as hot as It can be made before the cans are put In. 
They are then removed, cold water Is dashed over 
them, they are punctured with an awl, and, when 
the gas and steam have escaped, they are again 
sealed and lowered into the tank for from 60 to 75 
minutes, according to the length of time of the first 
cooking, about one hour and 40 minutes being, It Is 
said, the minimum of time which It Is safe to cook 
asparagus. Then they are spread out to cool for a 
day or more, when they are ready to be labeled and 
packed. All canning machinery and supplies may 
be purchased of the D. G. Trench Co., Chicago.
