Here is a word fitly spoken : 
Speak a good word for the Farm Journal once tn a 
while; It often does for you. and when the F J. tells 
Its readers of a good thing. It doesn’t haye to attach 
an affidavit to get them to believe It. It was the 
Farm Journal that recommended and gave me an In¬ 
troduction to The R. N.-Y. So one good turn de¬ 
serves another, yon know I 0. H. 
Wellington, 111. 
That is rijfbt. The Farm Journal is one 
of these things so good that it seems like 
time wasted to say so, because anybody 
that can read a primer, knows it. Long 
may the F. J. wave! We shall never 
object to any notice it may make of The

IKTTUCB FOR Latb CROP —1. Will lettuce sown 
now. mature for use late In fall? 2. What Is the best 
variety for the New York market? We are located 
In the Hudson River Valley, have growing weather 
without frost until November 20, and can Irrigate. 
3 Will celery planted Aagust 20, mature on rich soil 
with plenty of water? C. u. 
Ans.— 1. We think so. unless the season should 
prove unusually cold 2. The "best” variety has not 
yet been discovered. Hanson, Boston Market, Black- 
Seeded Simpson, Deacon, are all good kinds. Tennis 
Ball and Grand Rapids are favorite varieties for 
forcing 3. if good, strong plants were set then, and 
conditions are all favorable. It ought to mature, 
especlal’y as your season lasts so late. 
KILLINO CAHUAaK Lies AND WORMS.—What l8 
the best and cheapest method of killing or getting 
rid of cabbage lice or worms, and the large tomato 
or tobacco worm on tomatoes? u. 8. B. 
Benton Harbor, Mloh. 
Ans.—B' or cabbage lice and worms, use kerosene 
emulsion before the cabbages begin to head, and 
after that water at 130 degrees Fahr. The only 
remedy of which we know for the large green worms. 
Is the ordinary Insecticides like Paris-green. They 
may be hand picked as they are nsnally not numer¬ 
ous enough to cause much trouble. 
The Potato Chop.— I have been watching The 
Rural for some time expecting to see something 
about the potato crop In general, which would guide 
me In marketing my crop. Potatoes are a fair crop 
In this section with prices at 60 cents per bushel. 
Greene County, N. Y. B ii. 
ANS.—n«d onr friend watched closely, he would 
have seen frequent reference to the condition of the 
potato and other crops In The R. N.-Y of August 
25, we gave the Government figures for the crop of 
the whole country. The crop is short everywhere. 
Prices should be good. There Is no reason for any¬ 
thing else, though extremely high prices need not be 
expected, as foreign potatoes will be rushed In as 
soon as prices begin to climb. The last Government 
report gives the average condition the lowest ever 
reported. 
NEW Squash Pbst.—I had a half dozen hills of 
fine squashes and pumpkins which did nicely the 
fere part of the season, but after fruits commenced 
to form, and some fine specimens of good size had 
made their appearance, I noticed the leaves tnrnlng 
yellow, commencing at the hill, and slowly perish¬ 
ing one after another out toward the end of the vine. 
I took hold of one of these affected vines which I 
found bad rotted off, split It and at the base of each 
leaf stalk I found a large white worm with a small 
brown head; these worms ranged In length from 
five-eighths of an Inch to one full Inch and as thick 
as an ordlnarv goose quill and as round. They were 
not perfectly smooth At the base of every leaf 
stalk I found a little worm dirt, where I supposed 
the larvae had been deposited and In due time had 
worked Into the vine. Any kind of a remedy for the 
above trouble would be too late to help me out on 
this crop, but anything to head these destroyers off 
might be helpful next year. h. c. u. 
Ohio. 
ANS —This doesn’t seem to be the regular borer, 
and we find no description that seems to fit the pest. 
Is any of onr readers familiar with It ? 
Tomatoes AND Cucumbers for Forcing. —wri 
The R. N.-Y. or some of its readers give me some 
Information about growing tomatoes and cucumbers 
In hot-beds or greenhouses ? 'What Is the best va¬ 
riety of tomatoes and cucumbers ? 1 have for Held 
crop, Acme, Stone, Perfection and Beauty. w. l. 
Tennessee. 
ANS.—Tomatoes do well planted In pots or on the 
benches In a mixture of rotted turf and soil. But 
little fertilizer Is applied until after blossoming be¬ 
gins, and then It Is best In liquid form. It Is neces¬ 
sary to fertilize the blossoms by brushing them over 
dally by means of a soft brush of some kind. Cucum¬ 
ber seeds should be sown In pots and the plants 
thinned to one Inch each. These may be planted out 
In about a month, 20 to 24 Inches apart along the 
south side of the bench. A trellis of galvanized 
wire Is used for training the vines. Cuenmbers re¬ 
quire a moist atmosphere The blossoms, like those 
of tomatoes, must be fertilized. The Barlv White 
Spine Is an excellent variety for forcing. The Lorll- 
lard Is one of the beet tomatoes for this purpose. It 
would be well for this Inquirer to get and study Hen¬ 
derson’s Gardening for Profit. 
Many foreign raisins are being sold where Callfor 
nla goods were formerly handled, because of the 
methods of the combination. 
loe-house eggs, sold as such, started In September,

The Game Committee of the Senate, which was In¬ 
structed to Investigate the operation of the game 
laws. Is nearly ready to make Its report, and several 
rsoommendatlons will be made, the most Important 
of which will be to divide the State Into three game 
districts: Long Island and the southeastern oonn- 
ttes, the Adirondack counties and the western and 
central regions, and have a uniform set of laws for 
the protection of game and fish In each section. 
The California raisin combination, which controls 
46,0(X) out of 53,030 acres, has fixed the following 
prices to be paid for raisins: Two crown 3c.; three- 
crown. 3Xc.; four-crown, 4Xo.; five-crown Deshaw, 
$2 per box; seedless, 3c.: dried grapes, 2Xc.; four- 
crown fancy clusters, $1.60 per box; four-crown In 20 - 
pound boxes, $1.15 plain and $1.25 faced; six-crown 
Imperial boxes, $3 per box; sultanas. 4o.; loose, un¬ 
assorted muscatels, So.; threo-crown layers, $1.25. 
The Michigan crop report for September says that 
the average rainfall In the Slate in August did not 
exceed three-fourths of an Inch. With a drought 
practically unbroken during the two principal crop¬ 
growing months of July and August, It Is not difficult 
to estimate the condition of crops. They are dried 
up. Corn, potatoes and garden truck are damaged 
beyond recovery; the yield will be but a small per 
cent of an average, and pastures offer little or no 
feed for stock. There is little doubt that wheat will 
be largely fed to stock the coming winter. Thrashers' 
returns of more than 68,000 acres of wheat thrashed 
show that the average yield per acre In the State Is 
16 65 bushels.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The oyster crop promises to be a good one 
The Corean war is likely to advance the price of 
tea. 
One steamer brought in upward of 26,000 bags of 
foreign beans. 
Many reports this year say that unsprayed grapes 
are practically worthless. 
The Gaertner grape has arrived In this market In 
small quantities, and sells well. 
The demand for grapes from the wine men Is light 
this year. They stocked up heavily last year. 
Grape prices are extremely low considering the 
short crop. Poor quality Is one cause assigned which 
lessens the demand.
