actuated BY motives of plunder and desire to
diaorganize the party by voting for him.

The inject that has destroyed much grain the present
season is yclio fly, with blue wings about one-tenth
OF en- inch in length; deposits its eggs while the wheat
is in blossom within the chay scales of the flower during
the evening twilight and dark stormy days in numbers
from two to forty which hatch in days and completely
DESTROYS the germ the berry. The maggot is reddish
