The Hessian Fly.

MIR. EDITOR: In THE -E.fs of the 7th in
slant your correspondent "R' asks for infor-
nation in relation to the Hessian fly and n
remedy to prevent its ravages. have stu
died this pest for many years and think can
give him the information he seeks. In the
first place the "dark-brown beetle" which he
supposes to be the fly, is harmless insect,
that comes from the barn yard. The Hessian
fly is an insect three-sixteenths of an inch
long, resembling an ant with wings Its col
or Is intense black, shining like the face of
mirror.
This insect deposits its eggs in the stall, of
wheat, near the root, during August, Sep
TENDER and warm weather in October. The
Tune OF Matching ofthese eggs varies with the
weather. If warm they hatch in short time
go through all their changes and becoming
perfect flies, lay eggs for another brood The
Matching of the eggs is retarded by cold
weather, and they will even remain uniniured
in the wheat throughout the winter and
come out in the spring to begin their work
of destruction.
The egg when first deposited is oblong in
shape and has milky appearance. In few
days II assumes the appearance of grain of
fiaXseed. In this condition the Larvae seem
to live by absorbing the sap ofthe plant No
marks of eating can be seen, but merely an
lndentation in the stalk, in which the embryo
fly is snugly ensconced. The life of the
plant is often destroyed, however, and the
care and labor of the farmer brought to
nau!ght by these apparently insignificant lit
tie insects. After remaining in the flaxseed
state for little while the chrysalis burst open
and the black, shiny, wiry little Hessian fiy
comes forth, to continue his work of destruc-
ton.
Now for my remedy. 1t is this. About
the last of August SOW through every field of
twenty or thirty acres that you wish to Seed
three or four strips of wheat. The fly will
find it as soon as it gets up, and deposit its
eggs there. As soon as this work is perform

10th of October pillow up the entire field.
scattering the eggsin every direction When
the plant is uprooted the eggs perish.
BY this means | believe farmers could ma
terlally lessen the ravages of the Hessian fly.

A Trick Dog.

A hump-shouldered old man, followed by
a dog which seemed to have tasted for year
past, entered Woodward avenue butcher
shop the other day, and the man made some
inquiries about the price of smoked hams
The butcher saw the dog, ofcourse who ever
saw a butcher who didn't want to know all
about dog?
as that a good coon dog?" asked the
butcher as he patted the shy canine on the
head.
"Oh, no-he's trick dog" answered the
owner
"1s ell? What tricks can he do ?"
"Oh, dozen or two. He has one very pc
culiar trick, though. Would you like to see
him do it?"
81 would that What is it?
The man directed the butcher to put a
pound of nice beefsteak ON sheet of clean
brown paper and place the whole on the door
step. He then said to his dog, which had
watched matters very keenly:
"Now, Cato, | am about to call upon YOU
to perform a trick You have never gone
back on me yet, and have perfect confidence
in you now. Cato, do you see that meat ?"
Cato saw it. He walked over to it, seized
it in his mouth, and as he went up the street
it was hard to tell dog from dust.
"Hum, yes" muttered the butcher; edo
you call thata trick?"
81 do" confidently replied the man.
"Well, it's blasted mean one"
Gust so-just So" said the man. "You
couldn't expect such q looking dog as that to
be around playing tricks on guitar or jews
harp, could you? I'll see you later about the
hams" -DetyoH Free Press.

THE ORIGIN OF INDIAN CORN.


'Tis said that ever so long ago
A young maid walked by the river side,
Singing sweetly, soft and low,
TO the music of the tide.
And the little maid was passing fair,
With eyes of tender, sunny blue,
With rosy lips, and floating hair
VI wondrouS golden hue.
Her fairy step on the velvet sod
Was light and soft as the falling snow;
But 1t reached the ears of river god,
Who lived in the waves below.
He saw the maid, with her floating hair
Her rosy lips and her rounded form,
Hssteeth like pearls. AT the vision rare
His heart grew bold and warm.
80 fair sight has never met
My eyes before! said the ardent god,
"These messy banks have never yet
BY one so fair been trod
The river maids are fair to see:
But never one shall my eyes behold,
Though live thousand years, said he,
Like this maid of mortal mould"
So said the god. ~ will seek her side
must bring her home to live with me,
She must be mine, whate'er betider'
Said this vain god, boastfully.
Then with a leap he left the flood,
With never care for right or wrong,
And sought the maiden where she stood,
Singing her little song.
Fear lent her wings. Afar she spies
bank of reeds, tall, dark and dense;
And in this sorest need she flies
Swift to their fral defense.
She said: "Oh, Reeds, i pray you hide
Me safe and sure from his cruel art"
They crowded around on every side;
Each reed had Il tender heart.
They wound around her trembling form,
They twined themselves in her sunny hair;
To save the maid from threatening HARM
They wrought a marvel there,
For 10! when he parted the slender wall
He looked on the simple power with scorn--
There in the midst, fair, straight and tall
Stood stalk of Indian corn.
This is the reason that night and morn
gentle sigh, as of one who gricVes
Over some loss, fills the fields of corn
And flutters its haunted leaves
This is the reason it whispers so:
'Tis the soul of the maiden prisoncd there
That night and day, with murmur low,
Burdens the summer air.

A MATHEMATICAL CURIosITY.-Mr. Jos.
Jamerson, of this city, says the Columbus
(Ohio) State Journal, has had the leisure and
ingenuity to study out the following peculiar
arrangement of figures;
The year 1881 will be mathematical curl
osity. From left to right and from right to
left it reads the same 1S divided by gives
8 as theluotient; 81 divided by 8 and is the
quotent. If 1881 is divided by 200, 8 is the
quotient; if divided by 0, the quotient con-
tains a O.; if multiplied by 8, the product con-
one are nine. If the 18 be placed nnder the
81 and added the sum is Co., Ifthe figures be
added thus, 1, 8, 8, 1, it will give 10. Read
ing from left to right is 10, and reading from
right to left is 81 and 1S is two-ninths of 81.
BY adding, dividing and multiplying nine
teen 9's are produced, being one 0 for each
year required to complete the century.

The man who says that he doesn't believe
in advertising is doing just what he pretends
to despsc. He hangs coats outside his door,
or puts dry goods in his window-thats adj
vertsing. He has printed cards lying on his
counter-tha's advertising. He sends out
drummers through the country, or puts his
name on his wagon-that's advertising. He
labels his articles or manufactures-thats adj
vertising. If he has lost his COW, he puts
written notice in the post-ofce, or tells his
sister-in-law-and that's advertising, too He
has his name put in gilt letters over his door
and that also is advertising. He paints his
shop green or red or if tailor, he wears the
latest style; if doctor, he has his boy call
him out of church in haste; ifan auctioneer,
he bellows to attract the attention of passers-
by if heavy merchant, he keeps a huge
pile of boxes on his sidewalk in front of his
store-and all for advertising A man can't
do business without advertising, and the
question is whether to call to his aid the en-
CINE that moves the world-the printing
press--wth its thousands of messengers
working night and day; or, rejecting these,
go back to the time when newspapers, tele-
graphs and railroads were unknown. "But
advertising costs money! So does anything
else that is worth having, and those who iu-
diciously advertise-in the newspapers, and
not by means of clap-trap devices which,
while they may attract at first always fail in
the long run--are sure to reap rich rewards.

COLD BEETs-.A new refrigerating liquid
ofgreat power it is said, can be made out of
bects left after the sugar has been extracted
from them. After the sugar is taken-and
100000 tons of beet sugar are annually pro-
duced in Europe-a good deal of beet mo-
lasses is extracted, from some of which a
common sort of whisky is distilled The
remnant product in the rctort is burnt and
yields potash, which is used as fertilizer
This refuse is now further utilized by pro-
ducing. from it gaseous combustible body
easily liquefied, which has received the chem
ical name chloride methyl, is useful in the
preparation of anilne colors, but has recent
ly been discovered to be a superior refriger-
ating agent, evaporating so rapidly as to cause

low zero. This is % degrees below the freez-
ing point of mercury, according to Prof Hux-
ley, which may be frozen by the pound by this
means. For the manufacture of ice, this new
beet root product promises to be very useful.

to one of the limbs by copper wire. Two
years later he found that the copper wire was
entirely imbedded and out ofsight in the bark
of the tree, and that year the limb was so
heavily loaded with apples that he was oblig-
