M. J. Graham, Adel, Iowa, writes ; “ My trade is largely 
local and would have been fully up to any previous years’

cents per bushel; but the man with a carload of fat steers to 
sell usually has money to burn.’’

who will also have charge of the buying and packing for all 
sales made in the states. They will be extensive purchasers. 
NEW ENEMY OF THE SCALE. 
A correspondent of The Country Gentleman gives the infor¬ 
mation that the destructive San Jose scale which has been 
brought from California into eastern orchards, to the great 
alarm of fruit-growers, has met at last with a check in Florida. 
Professor P. H. Rolfs, of the Florida Experiment Station, dis¬ 
covered it in vast numbers at De Funiak, and in the course of 
his investigation he observed many dead scales on trees which 
had never been sprayed or treated in any way. He found that 
the mortality was due to a parasitic fungus which had attacked 
the scale and killed it. This morbific fungus is a native of 
Florida ; it can be propagated artificially with ease in unlim¬ 
ited quantities and it can be applied with a spraying machine 
like other insecticides.
