The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1878-12-11

One remarkable circumstance atten-
dant on the English racing season of 1878
has been the unparalleled success achieved
by Lord Falmouth, whose winnings amount
to $l93500. Unlucky at the outset of his
turf career, Lord Falmouth has not had
bad year since 1869, when Kingcraft
scored several twO-year-old victories, and
since that time his horses have won him
about 100000, his principal victories
having been in the Derby with Kingcraft
and Silvio, in the two thousand guineas
with Atlantic, in the St. Legef with Silyio
and JEANETTE, in the Oaks with SpinaWay
and JEANETTE, and in the one thousand
guineas with Cecilia and Spinaway.

Prof. Leidy states that, when he purchased
his present residence, while be was under
going repairs, he not tced a fragment of bread
left by the wOrkmen in one of the second
story rooms, swarming with little red ants,
AppreheDdiDg that the house was seriously
infested, TO ascertain whether it was SO, he
placed piece of sweet cahe in every room
from the cellar to the attic. At noon every
piece was found covered with ants. Having
provided cup of turpentine oil each piece
was picked up with forceps and the ants
tapped into the oil. The cake was replaced,
and in the evening was found covered with
ants. The same process was gone throug b
the following two days,-morning, noon and
night. The third day the number of ants
had greatly diminished, and on the fourth
there were none. He at once concluded the
ants had all been destroyed; but in tn e
attacks he found few feeding on dead house
flies. which led him to suppose that the
remainder had become suspicious of sweet
cake. He accordingly distributed through
the house pieces of bacon, which were after
ward found swarming with ants. This was
repeated with the same result for several
days. when, in like manner with the cake,
the ants finally ceased to visit the bacon.
f1eccs of cheesc were ueXI trfeu with the
same results, but with an undoubted thin
ning in the multitude of ants. When the
cheese proved no longer attractive, recollect-
ing the feast on dead flies in the attic, dead
grasshoppers were supplied from the garden.
These again proved too much for the ants,
and after few days trial neither grasshop-
pers nor anything else attracted them, They
appear to have been thoroughly exterminated
nor has the house since been infested with
them.-Erchdnge

AGRICULTURAL.
Is Corn a Kinas


However much it may shock our republi-
can sensibilties and sympathies, it cannot be
denied that we have king among us and
that the popular agricultural heart is in sym.
pathy with his permanent enforcement.
Indian corr, which more than any other
knowH plant combines the best qualities of q
grass and cereal, is growing steadily and
perceptibly in estimation, cultivation and
power, and We are glad of it. According to
carefully prepared estimates by the agricultu-
raj statistician at Washington, there were in
1876 fourth more acres OF corn In the United
States than people, and if the annual yield OF
this grain could be divided equally each per-
son would be entitled to over 80 bushels and
OF the full value of $12. The wheat crop
which stands nearest to corn in strength in
the United States had only about half as
many acres and not quarter as many BUSH
els. Cotton, by some called king. has less
than half the value of corn. Even the hay
crop, the earliest farming known, occupies
only about halt as many acres as corn. The
statistician gives us these figures for the
United States AS, ,033, 1854 acres of corn, 1885,
$500 bushels, $475, ,401 ,210 value. This, il
will be seen, is at the average rate of about
26 bushels to the acre, and 81 cents per BUSH
ell. Kansas had the highest average yield per
acre, or 42 10 bushels, and South Carolina
the lowest, or 1-2 bushels. California had
the highest average value per bushel, or 81. OF,
and Kansas the lowest, or "a cents. By the
same estimates, Massachusetts is credited
32.S57 acres and 100000 bushels of corn,
valued at $S62,500. This average gives us
35 bushels per acre, IS cents per bushel, and
one acre to every five of the population. IN.
