Senator Jones, ot Nevada, says the
people of his state hardly know they
have government. The system OF
taxation is such that che POOR do not
feel the taxes. People are taxed ac-
cording to theil incomes. a mine is
taxed for what it produces, 80 thht it
pays taxes MS part of' its expenses.
Comparatively speaking, the burden
is not felt. In the East, sHvs the
Senator, taxes c:nnot be lcyicd in
that way bevatisc there arc too many
rich men.

TIE HEssIAN FLY.-Dr. A. s. Packard.
Of the chronological commission at Wash
ington, treats in his recently published
report on The Hessian Fly Of the raw
ages, habits. enemies and means Of pre-
venting the increase of this insect. The
preventive measures have been summar-
lied rs follows:
1. 1t is advised to SOW q part Of the
wheat early. and if affected by the fiy, to
put in the rest OF the seed after September
goth, which will in most cases save the
crop. By destroying the first brood the
second will not appear.
g. Partially affected wheat may be
saved by the use Of fertilizers and careful
cultivation. and If winter wheat, the
fields may be recuperated in the spring.
g. It is stated that many Of the eggs
and larvs may be destroyed by ptsturing
with sheep and close cropping Of winter
wheat in November or early in December.
Rolling the ground will answer nearly MS
well.
4. 1t is advised to SOW hardy varieties
of wheat. especially those which tiller
vigorously; Diehl for early August sowing
and Clawson for late.
5. Lime. SCOT and salt are named As
special remedies. and it is also recon-
mended To rake off the stubble. but too
close cutting and burning of the stubble
may result in harm by destroying the use
full parasites, of which there are several
species. Indeed, it is claimed that nine
tenths of all the flies Matched are destroyed
by these minute parasites.
There are two broods of the fly. The
first deposits its eggs from early in April
till the end of May, and the second appears
in August and September. The eggs are
laid on the leaves of the wheat, and the
young maggots, which hatch in about four
days, soon find their way to the base of the
leaf, remaining between it and :he stem
near the roots.
