possible strain to which you can APP

8. Always get the best and most thor

in the end. Get it at as low price as
you can, but don't get a cheap tool.

THE WHITE GRUB.

Strange as it may seem, it is not gen.
orally known that the white grub-the
large, fat, unpleasant-looking caterpillar
is the larva state of the common May
bug or June bug. The white grub is
one of our most serious insect pests, for
the reason that its work is done under
ground, and we have no knowledge of
the approach Of the enemy we only
know that ii has been there when its
work is done. Acres of lawn and mead
ow grass, rows of strawberry plants,
and even rows of nursery fruit trees,
and multitudes of other plants, includ-
ing corn, are annually destroyed by it.
In view of the dcstructivencss of the
larva, every perfect insect should be kill
ed. Ii is the brown beetle that comes
into the house in the evening and makes
such noise by bounding against the
ceiling and elsewhere. Catch and kill.
While there are more or less each year,
the beetles are especially abundant once
in three years, the particular year vary
ing with the locality. WheE they are
found clustering in the trees, special
effort should be made to destroy them.
The beetles themseles eat the foliage of
trees, and are sometimes destructive.
They visit both forest and fruit trees,
and in great numbers in the year Of
their abundance. In early morning
they do not attempt 10 fly, and may be
shaken from the trees and caught upon
cloths spread TO receive them. When
we consider that with every female we
destroy a host of possible grubs, it will
be seen that this is the most effective
method of dealing with this pest

HINTS.

II farmers families would eat less
pork and more eggs and chicken meat
they would be healthier.
Save your early pulets ; they give the

of old hens year after year.
Keep charcoal where the fowls can get
it whenever they want it. Ii is one of
the best preventives of disease among
fowls that know of.

think that by following my method OF
sweeping carpet the evil day may be
postponed three years, if not longer.
About once a month take a pail two
thirds full of warmish water, put it in a
tablespoon of ammonia, take a large
cotton rag, and without wringing ii
quite dry, go over the carpets thorough

of this method are:
1. No dust is raised.
2. The furniture need not be moved.
3. II kills moths.
4. You can get spots off your base

GOOD STOCK PREFERABLE.

It costs rs much to grow and develop
Q scrub horse as it does to raise noble
animal worth twice to ten times 81
much. 1t takes as much time to gentle
and train one as the other. A good COW
of the best breed pays best, and sheep
that will yield twice the wool far more
than doubles the profit. For all that we
have made such Improvement in stock,
and that enterprising men have brought
such fine animals to our State, it must
be acknowledged that too few among
producers Or stock owners appreciate
the value of further improvement they
can and should make. As we travel
through the State we see too many
scrubs. Too many sheep and cattle and
horses that it cannot possible pay to
raise and keep. If there is any subject
that comes up for consideration as of
first importance, it is this of the inn
provcment of all kinds of stock, and it
includes the renovation Of pastures and
determination of what kind Of grasses
are most necessary for our use. Every
intelligent stock grower should feel a
deep interest in these questions and it
seems to us that no man interested as
a producer could otherwise than feel a
pride in competing in the raising of fine
animals. There is pleasure as well as
profit in recognizing that the animals
born On your place are beautiful and
perfect of their kind. A whole family
can be delighted by such possession and
ownership.-America ,StOckmdn.

MAKING A HOME IN KANSAS.
We arrived here on the last Of June,

We arrived here on the last Of June,
two years ago, with good work team,
consisting of three animals, two wagons
Zone light one-horse wagon and nine in
the family to food and clothe-the old
est fourteen, and very little money. We
came to Cloud, IS we had dear friends
here, hardly expecting to find vacant
land, but after few days spent in look
ing around, were fortunate in finding
$40 acres joining, which was entirely
vacant.
The first thing, of course was to Sc
cure the land, then procure breaking
pillow and begin opening a farm. The
second week in July found my husband
treading the weary round of half-mile
strip of ground, and not being used to
farming, found it very hard work, but
still kept going, until thirty-seven acres
were broken. He then commenced
quarrying stone for house this, too,
was new work for "city gentleman"
but he was bound to win and he did.
Paid very little money for our trees.
The pigs were paid for in work, and all
the work we hired on the house cost $50.
Husband has become quite good stone
mason by doing SO much work himself
on the cellar, which, by the way, is the
admiration Of every one who visits us.
Now the secret Of getting SO much
work done, is hard work, and we all
bear our share of it.

should visit us, they would scarce rec

healthy boys and girls, the pale, sickly
ones who left for Kansas two years ago

them should come here, and not be
afraid Of browning their hands with

her, she strobe off again, leaving Nine.
Roze in a very embarrassing position.
1t was an insult to a fellow-artist who
had done her no. harm, and moreover
it was a grave ofense against the au-
dience which should be emphatiealIv
resented. Miss Hauk, or any other
singer, has no right to trife with the
public, who pay their money to hear
and see the opera, and they have a
claim upon the singer for decent treat
ment. If it is withheld, then the Of
fender should lose caste. And this is
the reason why a part of the first
scene last night was sung without a
Cherubino. Miss Hauk declares that
she was justified in her action. and
that she was ignored and refused adj.
mittance to her dressing-room. IF
such is the case-and this statement
is denied by those in authcrityLshe,
had no right to foist her injuries upon
the public. The stage occupied by an
operate performance is no place for
the airing of personal grievances.

FRESH OYSTERS
An Operate Row.

Chicago Inter-0cean.l
The performance Of the Marriage
of Figaro, by the Mapleson Italian
Opera Troupe, at Haverly's Theater
last night, came very near being a
fiasco, and all because of the disgrace
full conduct of Miss Minnie Hauk.
If there we're any grounds for it,
there might be a plea made in extenu-
alton, but there are none, The dis
turbance was caused by a refusal on
the part of Miss Hauk to accept a GER
tain dressing-rOom, for the reason that
she preferred the one assigned to Nine
Roze-M apleson. Her within was not
grati6ed, and the singer became angry
and declared that she would not APP
pear in the cast. The opening over
ture was delayed a little time in the
hope that Miss Hauk might be in
duced to change her mind. The curtain
was rung up, the opera proceeded,
and finally came the scene whore
CherubinO," the role taken by Miss
Hauk, should enter. But she did not
come, missing her solo, mon so piu,"
and her part in the sprightly action,
and destroying the entire effect of the
situation. Meanwhile Colonel Maple
son, the impresario, had sent a mos
senger with a note to Miss Hauk, con-
tanning the announcement that unless
she at once came on the opera would
be stopped, and that the impresairo
would 60 before the foOtlig6ts and
publish a true condition Of affairs,
This threat had the desired effect. and
Miss Hauk capitulated. This IL bad
enough-absolutely disreputable in a
solo artiste-but more is 10 come. AT
the close Of the 6rst scene the audi.
ence encored Roze, Galassi and Hauk.
Roze and Galassi endeavored to end
