on the beans should he spread out in 
thin layers so that the temperature will 
be uniform. Another way to destroy the 
weevil is to fumigate by carbon bistil- 
phide, which can be bought at a drug 
store, and should he used in an airtight 
container. A washboiler will do if noth¬

on the beans, which are kept enclosed for

Using Cold Frames. —Class being n 
very expensive item. I am glad to say 
that the prepared elutli on the market, 
which is being used ns a substitute, is 
giving very good results in my garden, 
Not only is it very much cheaper than 
glass, but it is much easier to handle. 
When being used to cover the cold frames 
In Winter it should he protected with 
nmls or in some other way. so that it 
will not he broken down hy a heavy 
weight of snow. There arc ninny plants 
which can he wintered in a cold frame 
under cloth as well ns under glass. Some 
gardeners do not know that small lettuce 
plants taken up from the garden and 
planted in cold frames will give Ihem 
lettuce for ihe table until Christmas, and 
that Swiss chard transplanted to a cold 
frame will give them greens until late in 
the season, and start growing again very 
early in the Spring, Not long ago 1 saw 
a cold frame made of hollow tile, and 
was told that it cost less than a frame 
built of planks or of concrete. I think 
that this matter is well worth looking 
into by anyone who is planning to con¬ 
st met a new cold frame or hot lied, espe¬ 
cially if a permanent structure is desired. 
The hollow tile is very easily laid up. 
and of course is almost a perfect material 
so far ns excluding cold air is concerned. 
Likewise it is very durable. 
Farmer’s Making Money, In spite 
of all these tales of woe, many of the 
farmers and market gardeners through¬ 
out New Unginnd are prospering. The 
market gardeners in particular have had 
a good season, in many respects. linger 
I’.nhson of Wellesley Mills, who makes a 
business of statistics, has 'been investi 
gating the business situation, and says 
that the farmers are hound to moke 
money this year. lie thinks they will 
make f>0 per cent more than in 1021. 
< tf course his predictions are based on 
the situation throughout the whole coun¬ 
try. hut there is no reason why the 
farmers of New Kngland and other parts 
of the Fast should not he among the 
beneficiaries. At any rate, Mr. Itahson 
feels that the time is now really ripe, for 
opt imisin. 
Bean Weevils. —Menu weevils are not 
hard to dispose of if they are taken in 
hand at the right time. It isn't always 
possible to tell by the looks of the bonus 
when they are harvested whether or not 
they are free from weevils which will 
cause a heavy loss later on. Sometimes

Gassing Reach Borers. — Experi¬ 
ments made in Massachusetts^with para- 
diehlorobenzine. or R, 1). benzine, as it.is 
called for short, have proved very satis¬ 
factory. According to Rrof. 11, A. Van 
Meter, he'secured 100 per cent results in 
several orchards last year. It is well 
known in a general way that the gas 
from this crystalline material is fatal to 
insects when they are exposed to. it for 
some time. There are several points in 
regard to its use, however, which are 
likely to he overlooked. For one thing, 
it should not he used on trees less than 
three years old, and rather sparingly on 
trees under six years. Not more than 
half an ounce should he used for any tree 
under six years. For older trees, three- 
fourths to one ounce of the chemical can 
be used, hut never more than an ounce, 
and the nearest crystal shouldn’t be 
closer than an inch In the bark. The 
fact should he emphasized that R. I). Ben¬ 
zine must not be used on apple trees. 
Many farmers seem to think that it is a 
remedy for borers in trees of any kind. 
That is not true, Apple trees cannot en¬ 
dure it. 
Rt.ANTl.NG Bulks. Many garden- 
makers fail of success with the Madonna 
lily (I,ilium eandidum) because they do 
not plant the bulbs at the right time. 
While the bulbs of most of the hardy 
lilies can he planted as late as December, 
those of the Madonna lily should go into 
the ground before the middle of Septem¬ 
ber. been use they must make a growth 
above ground the Season they are planted. 
Started in the right way, the Madonna 
lily "ill go on for years, and prove one 
of the best (lowers in the garden. It 
looks particularly well when planted in 
association wilh larkspur. While some 
of the garden lilies, like Lilinm uuratum, 
the golden-handed lily of Japan, are 
freakish and undependable, there are a 
few kinds which are extremely satisfac¬ 
tory. The tiger lily, the Tnrk’s-eap lily, 
Spceiosum and the new Regal lily are in 
this class.
