The Chinch-Bus.

Dr.. H. Sherman, formerly Of Goodale,
now OF this city. says the "Waukegan
(1ll.) Gazette" has made discovery re.
gsrdiug the breeding Of the chinch-bug,
which We believe, will make il On easy mat
ter to totally eradicate this curse Of wheat
growers. He writes as follows:
THE chinch-bug having destroyed my
wheat crop for number Of years. was
anxious to get rid Of him. acd ! believe I
hare tracked him home. and can destroy
him root and branch. believe that next
season, ifthe farmers will follow my advice;
they may raise crop ogwheat, and ootlose
busbel from the ravsges ,ofthe bug. This
is the important secret Ny investigation
led me to believe that the seed wheat or
kernel was used az sort OF fester-moth-
nr' BY the bng, and find in ell wheat
grown upon land where there are bugs, is
deposited in the blow, or fuzzy end Of the
kernel, n large quantity Of eggs, which pro.
duces the bugs next season.
MIR. Sherman says he will convince any
farmer Of the truth Of this, il they will bring
him sample OF wheat grown where there
we're plenty Of bugs.
It follows, that Il the kernel ofsecd wheat
is the general depository ofthe eggs OF the
chinch bug, that our farmers have been SOW
Ing the pest each year as regularly each
year as they have their wheat, and it follows,
that il such is the case, the eradication OF
the bag will be easily accomplished-eitbcr
by sowing 20 wheat that has been in con-
tact with the bug. or by sleeping the seed
10 some solution before sowing, which will
destroy the larve.
We are quite saDguine that Mr.. Sherman
has ''scotched" the little imp at last, and
furnishes the information that will insure
the rapid extinction ofthe terrors efwheat-
growers. II his discovery leads to this re.
snlt, he will be entitled to the highest
gratitude OF the farming community he
will richly deserve 10 be knighted. We
hope others will Investigate this matter.

Sooner or later the storms shall beat
Over my slumber from head to feet;
Sooner or later the winds shall rave
In the long grass above my grave.
I shall not heed them where lie,
Nothing their sound shall signify,
Nothing the headstone's fret of rain,
Nothing 10 me the dark days pain.
Sooner or later the sun shall shine
With tender warmth on that mound of mine;
Sooner or later, in Summer air,
Clover and violet blossom there.
/ shall not feel, in that deep laid rest.
The sheeted light fall over my breast,
Nor ever note in those hidden hours
The wind blown breath Of the tossing flowers
Sooner or later the stainless SHOWS
Shall add their hush to my mute repose
Sooner or later shall slant and shift,
And heap my bed with their dazzling drift
Chill through that frozen pail shall seem,
It's touch no colder can make the dream
That recks not the sweet and sacred dread
Shroudng the city of the dead.

Sooner or later the bee shall come
And fill the noon with its golden hum;
Sooner or later on half paused wing
The blue birds warble about me ring
Ring and chrrup and whistle with glee,
Nothing his music means to me;
None OF these beautiful things shall know
How soundly their lover sleeps below.
Sooner or later, far out in the night,
The stars shall over me wing their flight;
Sooner or later my darkling dews
Catch the white spark in their silent oose.
Never a ray shall part the gloom
That wraps me round in the kindly tomb;
Peace shall be perfect for lip and brow,
Sooner or later--oh why not now?
