The practice Of plowing land for

work her way underground in Che spring
Of the year in order 10 get at the roots
upon which she lays her eggs, and the
looser the soil at this season the greater
the facilities which are offered for the
operation.
/ Among numerous devices resorted 10
for the protection Of the corn crop is
that Of stopping the process Of the sum
mer brood by plowing a narrow strip
around the field, keeping It well pulver-
lied by narrowing and rolling, then
plowing one or two burrows in this
dusty strip. This should be done every
day or two, care being taken that this
strip is kept thoroughly pulverized, as
the bugs can not travel well through
dust. Ditching is sometimes resorted 70
in this case the sides of the ditch next 70
the field should be perpendicular, and
rendered dusty by dragging
/ Clean farming when adopted as q
trule tends largely towards preventing
the increase not only Of chinch-bugs bui
of all other injurious insects that trouble
the farmer. One Of the best methods oi
preventing their increase is, according
to the evidence Of all who have investf
gated the matter--ProfessOr Thomai
included-diversifed farming. The au
thority I'm question says that massine
crops in immense bodies and cultivatinl
the same thing year after year on thu
same ground, as is so often done, neces
sarily tends TO increase the insects tha
feed on these crops. Anincrease in on

Death to the ChlnCh.bug.

PROF. CYRUS THOMAS in a report
on the chinch-bug to the chronological
iCOmmission, at Washington, gives
4muoh interesting information concern
ing the practical tests of remedies for
this pest. In this the writer states that
irrigation is undoubtedly the most eff
fectfve method of destroying chinch-
bugs, indeed is the only effective means
that can be resorted to in the spring
after the bugs have overrun the fields
runless'the crop. is sacrificed. Unfor-
tunately in a very large part of the
country this remedy is not possible, and
the farmer must resort to preventive
measures within his reach Burning
over the infested fields in winter Prof,
Thomas looks upon as the best praeti-
cal means susceptible of general adop-
ton for fighting the past. In pursuing
this measure for their destruction the
operator must bear in mind that chinch-
bugs frequently leave the corn-stalks
and seek other quarters in which to hi
-bernate they seek shelter wherever il
can be found in and around the field.
So far, therefore, as it is possible to do,
fire should be carried to these surround
ing hiding-places. In timbered sections
the leaves should be burned and fence
corners cleared out and burned. In
spite of every precaution some will
escape, but the greater portion will be
destroyed. All the farmers in an in
tested district must act in concert. II
the season has been a wet one, examin-
alton in the fall will be necessary, but il
It has been dry, diligent search should
be made for these pests before cold
weather, and in and around every field
where found each hiding-plsee should
be subjected to a fiery ordeal.
When the enemy is in sufficient num-
bers to do serious injury or excite ap-
prehension of danger the next season.
Prof. Thomas suggests the propriety oI
adopting the Southern plan of topping
the corn. This will cause the grain tc
Harden more rapidly and the stalk tc
dry sooner, so that the crop can bC
gathered at an early day and the stalks
be cut and raked into windrows and
burned before the bugs have left then
In search of hiding-places, Prof. Riley
recommends that shocks be made at in
terVals to attract the bugs and burned a.
soon as a goodly army have oongregateC
therein. This plan may be practiced t
advantage in wheat fields when at th'

He drops out OF tlie race.
" Yet roightn says Dan O'Bleary, "ahure
good sthrOng fut Is his,
But he's shtCpped a bit too LOVELY .
Holy Moses there he isW
And once agninthat Ohinaman
Gan Looping round the track
At just live miles an hour, with
The others at his back;
And every dozen hours he .'
Drops limping from the race, E.
Is absent just tive minutes, then
Resumes his merry pace. L.-
It Is grateful city, and
The six days walk is done;
No less a person than the MAYOR
Must taiSe the belt to f'John."
The Mayor be lifts the tentits flap
And then pops out again,
For sponging OF each others heads
Are Two TWIN CHINAMEs. ..
