CHINGH BUGS.

EDITORS RURAL WORLD: Although
on the dOwn-hill side of life, we never
saw one Of the above insects to our
knowledge, until on the l4th Of this
month May. But what we then saw,
would do Us for the rest of our days,
While busy planting IN a clear field,
nv attention was attracted TO a sIngU-
lar humming noise, as if a thousand
bee swarms were IN motion. The air
was literally filed with them moving
southwark. One who knows, told Us
they were chinch bugs. Now, if these
eat grass, oats and corn, may God de-
liver US from falling prey to their
wants. Where they 60 TO would be
hard to tell, but they viii surely be
felt.
The question now is, do these, too,
migrate ike the grasshopper! Wehad
been under the impression that they
usually travel on foot, but that Is, we
suppose, before they are old enough to
wing It. To quote numbers would be
folly In this case, for they were as the
sand on the seashore. Should these
and the grasshoppers do as much dam
age IN the West as they did last year,
it will cause no little distress, but we
hope for the best.
Sedalia, Mo. OBSERVER.
We copy the above from the Rural
World to remark that if the myriads Of
insects referred to are not chinch-bUgs,
as it seems to us improbable, they are
other pests that do not live and multi.
ply their numbers without eating some,
thing of the vegetable order useful &c
man. These prodigiOus swarms from
the Northern hive flying South in the
spring are a strange phenomenon.

THTNNTNG CORN.

Prof. Roberts, of the Cornell Uni.
versity, made some experiments in
growing corn upon the college farm
last season, the results of which are
valuable. He planted three plots Of
three.sixteenth of an acre each with
corn, and thinned the hills IN one lot to
three stalks; to another, four stalks to
a hill; the third was not thinned. The
first plot yielded at the rate of l60
bushels, the second Us bushels, and
the third lO6 bushels (of ears to the
acre. Mr.. Roberts states, as the re-
suit Of many experiments prior to
these, at the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege, that the heaviest crops Of corn
were made by growing three stalks to
a hill, and two stalks to a hill viii pro-
cure more corn than five stalks. If ever
stalk produces an ear, and corn Is
planted three feet apart each way,
there viii be nearly one hundred bush
els Of shelled grain per acre. To grow
maximum crops Of corn then, 1t is only
necessary to grow one ear upon a stalk,
and ears of such a size that a hundred
Of them viii make a bushel of grain
The land must have strength to make
the plants and their seeds; and to OBJ
tain this, early and thorough blowing
some weeks or months before the seed
is put into the ground, and well work
ing Of the crop after the corn is up,
are indispensable. The richer the soil,
and the betterit is cultivated, the more
stalks and ears viii mature on an acre.
Thick or thin planting is a question of
fertility, culture and sunshine.

BLUE GRASS LAND As NATURE
MAKES II.

We copy from the National Lire
Stock Journal the following interesting
letter;
I have 4, 400 acres of improved land,
divided as follows: Two pastures con-
tanning $40 acres each, four pastures
800 acres each, one pasture $50 acres,
two pastures so acres each, one pasture
90 acres, four pastures 40 acres. each,
two pastures 20 acres each, and two
pastures 10 acres each, making 1920
acres Of grazing land, most all blue
grass. have SO acres of meadow
land. two meadows Of $50 acres each,
and the balance Ia small pieces. The
balance Of my land, S70 acres Of pillow
land, mostly corn land, is divided from
100 acres down to 40 acres. The above
land is mostly fenced with good Usage
hedge fence.
Now about the quality Of this land.
1t is what I call black sandy loan,
high-rolling prairie land, the soil very
deep and very heavily charged with
lime. Better blue grass land cannot
be found IN Illinois, or any other State
that l was ever in, and l have been IN
all the blue grass States. l used to
think that Kentucky could beat Hi
nois for blue grass; but since made a
trip through there in 1873, / have
changed my opinion. now have blue
grass pastures That I viii put against
any mans blue grass l ever saw in Ken
lucky. The quality Of my bluegrass
was fairly proven three years ago,
when marketed > steers that aver
aged ,. 500 lbs. One more word about
this blue grass. It comes on my farm
spontaneously, without any sowing of
seed. l never had a bushel Of blue.
grass seed sowed on all the pastures /
have. In the great majority Of my
blue grass pastures the land has never
been broken. 1 can hardly raise a
strawberry patch for the bluegrass.
Now the question is frequently asked
what ] do with this farm. My answer
is this, / mostly -graze it with grade
steers. / was born and raised q cattle

FINANCIAL.

Business is unchanged and we hear Of
very little doing in money circles. The
banks loan to their customers on the usual
time at the rate Of ten per cent. per annum.
Brokers charge about one per cent. per
month. Good paper when offered is taken
at two per cent. per month discount.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks buy at par and sell at
g per thousand premium.
Gold is stronger, closing in New York
at 116i. Our dealers pay lis and bold at
the New York rate. Silver is taken at 107
for halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds are higher, being quoted
in New York at 52n54.
Our local securities are all very dull,
and we seldom hear of any sales.

4 STARTLING STORY.

A frightful story is told by one G. IL.
Beggs, of New Orleans. he says that he
was in one Of the Ridge cemeteries, and
his attention was attracted to a funeral
cortege made up Of wagon followed by
three or four women. The driver Of the
wagon lifted out a coffin, and was about
depOsiting it in the hole prepared for it,
when the occupant Of the coffin kicked of
The lid, and cried, "For Gods sake do not
bury me aliver' The driver picked up a
brick, and crying, "EOu -, l have doc
tors certificate that you are dead, and
am going to bury you" struck the corpse,
either stunned or killed him, and the
burial went on. Beegs further stated that
after the affair three or four hundred per
sons assembled in the cemetery, but there
was no move to disinter the body. TIE
New Orleans police do not place much
faith in the story.

THE London Times lately printed a
long editorial article, based on a meeting
of St. Georges societies in Philadelphia,
in which the Tbunderer asserted that the
chief hope for America lies in the influence
Of the English residents within our Dor
ders. 1t pains us, therefore, 10 read in the
reports Of certain police officers Of Phila-
delphia that a great many Englishmen
have left that city abruptly this Writer for
their native land. 1t seems that English
men are in the habit of leaving their wives
and families in the old country and com
ing here, where they marry again, accumu-
late three or four children and some prop
erty, and then return suddenly, leaving
their American wives destitute. The
Philadelphia police say they have had
"dozens and dozens" Of such cases Of de-
sertiOn by Englishmen during the past
winter. II is to be regretted that these
gentlemen, so necessary TO the preservation
of lofty tone among us, should show such
a wholesale disposition to leave America to
her ate.-CHjc0gO Times.

BIG SCALP.
Washington Tribune

As Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, follow
ed by the usual crowd that they attract,
passed along one of the streets adjacent to
their "lOdge" one day this week, one Of the
fair residents was vigorously eOmbing her
s'store hair having it fastened close 10 the
side Of the window. Seeing the operation
from the other side Ofthe street, Red Cloud
suddenly stopped, giving out several OF
those pleasant grUnts expressive Of admiTa-
ton, and said, "White squaw take big
scalp; me wants white squaw." The fair
scalper, seeing the attention Of the crowd
directed to her window, dropped the cur
tain, and the scene closed.

COMPARATIVE NUMBERS OF GOOD
AND POOR CATTLE

In the four months ending April 80,
1875, there were sold at Union Stock
Yards, Chicago, 1885, steers, averag-
ing from l 200 to 1890 lbs, and only
1882 weighing 1,4OO lbs, or more.
There were S3,406 sold, the average
weight Of which was 1000 to LOO
pounds, and 25, $50 weighing less than
1000 pounds. OF Texas and Cherokee
cattle, not included above, there were
26,069 sold.
This is a good showing, but if it
could be accompanied by the average
prices paid, it would be a strong argu-
ment in favor Of good cattle. Not only
do the large and well fattened animals
bring more because Of greater weight,
but, also, because Of their better quail
ity they sell at a higher price per
pound.

Charleston News.
A remarkable instance of the incOmpre-
feasibility Of reptiles was illustrated day
OF two ago. A bale Of cotton which had
been brought to this city from Augusta, and
had been subjected to the enormous pres
sure Of the Palmetto cotton press, was be-
ing slowed away in the hold Of vessel
lading for Europe from this port, when, as
the iack-sCrew was put on, an enormous
coachwhip snake glided out Of the bale and
created a perfect panic among the steve
dOres. The men rallied, however, and q
search was instituted, but without success,
as the snake had enscOnced himself in
some comfortable berth and will take a
trip to the OLD country, even if it is by
Storage.

NJ. DE FONvILLE made balloon ascent
from La Villette on the I'd inst, with a
view to Calculating the causes Of the late
Zenith balloon catastrophe, reaching the
altitude Of about 1900 feet. No effect
was experienced by the human excursion
ist, but bird in a cage suspended from
the netting, where il was exposed to the
inhalation of the escaping gas, died Of
hemOrThage into the brain. NJ. de FOn-
vile had previously surmised that the IA
tai result IN the case Of the Zenith 8rO-
nauts was due rather to the inhalation of
this gas than to the height attained, and is
convinced that with proper precautions
scientific experiments may be safely con-
Quoted at an immense altitude.

THR pollution of rivers IN England by
the manufactures along their banks has
become a serious matter. Chemical
works and dye houses are the worst poison
ers Of the water. A man who fell into the
river at Bradford died from swallowing
some of the liquid. The Clyde is describ-
ed as emitting malarious etiluvia, the Mer-
sey as almost unbearable in its stencil, and
the Bourne as thick and yellow. The few
fish that live in these streams are unfit for
food.
