4 bunko man had robbed q miner of
1913. He was pointed out. With half
a dozen pistols at his head, he threw up
both hands and quietly took sitting.
His gold watch and chain, pistol, keys
and $3.50 were taken rom him. The
Sl3S having been returned to the miner,
the balance was handed over to the chair
man of the vigilance committee. The
bunko man was then given start of
fifty yards through the principal street,
and the ''go'' was given him. Then he
started, with dozen pistol balls tearing
up The ground behind him. 1t is sup

CRIB BITING.

Ct. ". p, Duchess Co., n. Y.-O.-
L have young and valuable horse that
has the habit, or disease, of crib biting.
Can you communicate any remedy for it?
A.-Crib- biting Is peculiar propen-
sity, which is regarded as a decided vice,
because, when the habit becomes con
tirmed, it is attended by very disagree
able symptoms. In highly-fed horses
that have little to do it is often the result
of an idle habit. Although it might do
no mischief in slight degree, it must be
remembered that it is always increasing
by little and little, until in time the most
insignificant becomes tho most deter
mined cribber. The simplest way to
cure q d crib-biter is to 90 away with
the manager, or to cover the manager or
any object against which he has a chance
to crib, with sheet iron, or sheep skin
with the woolIy side out, and which may
be smeared with aloes. By placing
strap around the throat, which is often
done, and thus pressing against the wind
pipe, the animal may be stopped from
this bad practice; but this is attended
with the liability of producing distortion
of the windpipe, which is apt to result in
incurable roaring, and is therefore not
to be recommended.

THE WHITE GRUB.

One field of my farm has been infested
with grub worms for three years. In
1876 and 1877 had it to corn, and they
destroyed large portion of it. Last
year | planted potatoes where they were
the worst, and they ate them badly.
This season | wish TO plant it to corn.
Now can you tell me how I can DESTROY
them, for they are still in abundance.
Ii you viii answer this through the col
umns Of your paper you will oblige not
only myself but some of my neighbors,
and perhaps many more. J.M.P.
LAWN RIDGE, LII.
The white grub, the larvae of the May
BEETLE (Lachn0stc3na titsca) lives in the
ground for three years from the time of
deposit of the egg. Therefor those in
your field will probably do you little or
no damage this season, since they will
be IN the pupae state from which they
will soon emerge as perfect beetles.
There is no practical remedy for Kidding
the fields except by employing their nat
ural enemies, the badger, crow, hawk,
martin, skunk, and weasel to eat them.
Their most formidable enemies are the
ground beetles, which should be sedul-
ously preserved. Hogs are very fond of
them, and if turned into a field in suffi-
GENTLY large numbers will root for them
faithfully the second year of their
growth, or early the third year. The
beetle is as voracious as are the larvae
under ground. They feed on the leaves
of trees, and may be shaken from thence
upon sheets and scalded.

BOTS IN HORSES.

NJ. b., Manteno, Ill.-Q.-Do the
gr1bs, called bots, kill horses? have
lost four-year old colt, and on opening
his stomach found the inside covered lin
spots with the bots, adhering to the in
ner coats of the stomach, and the passage
leading from the stomach closed for the
space of three inches by these worms,
with their heads fast in the inner lining.
almost, if not entirely, preventing the
passage of food, the stomach being full
and the intestines empty. The horse
was in poor flesh, had been ailing all
spring, and seemed to have no strength.
Did the bots kill him?
A.-Acute and fatal indigestion is
among the results of the presence of
large numbers of bots in the horses
stomach, and it is very likely that the
colt died in consequence of the large
number of bots blocking up ''the passage
leading from the stomach" Under such
circumstances, any method of treatment
would be likely to prove ineffective in
relieving the animal.

LOGAN, Logansport, Ind.
Q.-I have mare nine years old this
spring. She has never been bred. Will
DR.. Paaren please state in the Prairie
Farmer whether there viii be any danger
in breeding her now?
A.-The fact that the mare has not
been bred before is of no consequence at
her present age. if she is normally devel-
oped, and otherwise in breeding condi-
ton.
Rains are reported from many sections
heretofore suffering from the unprece-
dented spring drouth. A widely distrib-

IDA GROVE, IA, April %.
Do you consider it good plan to har-
row corn with a common: harrow after it
is up? H. A. NJ.
At depends entirely upon the con-
dition and state Of your land. If lumpy,
or filed with trash, you will find harrow
ing with a common harrow an uphill
business. Neither will narrowing corn
with harrow which works deep be prop
er. On clean land, with small toothed
light harrow, especially if the teeth can
be SO arranged that they may be slanted
back, almost no corn will be covered,
and this may be quickly relieved by
smart boy following with fork, rake,
or pronged hoe to uncover the plants.
1t is better, however, that the corn be
narrowed just before it pierces the sur
face, though we have often narrowed it
successfully when the corn was four
inches high.
