The Chinch Rn0.

The habits of this insect, which IL often
SO terribly destructive in Illinois, Mis-
souri, and many other western states are
similar to those Of the common squash
bug which belongs to the same family.
1t hibernates in the mature form and
works to destroy the corn and other
crops from early summer till fall. Its
transformations are incomplete and 30 it
is sucking the sap and vitality from the
plants constantly and in all stages of its
growth. Its rapid increase makes it a
most formidable foe. It is recommend
ed to destroy all rubbish in the fields and
to leave no stacks of straw Or corn-stalks
to afford winter shelter. Wet weather
is very destructive to these chinch bugs;
hence they do serious mischief only in
dry years. 1t is probably the moister
climate that preserves Michigan and the
more eastern states from their depreda-
tions.

The blood is the foundation Of

If disease has entered the system

These simple facts are we'll

paper on Improved Stock, " from which
the following timely and truthful sug-

Cattle bred for both beef and dairy
products never reach the highest stan

specialties. A horseman never expects
to find speed and draft in the same ami
NAL. A breed of sheep noted for fine
ness or weight of fleece will not make q
favorable comparison for quality of flesh
with q breed that has been carefully
bred for generations for mutton. Pur-
chase and sale of fancy stock for specu-
lative purposes is q fascinating and
dangerous business, generally resulting
in failure, which is far reachingin ito in
flusnce, as each disaster of this kind il

tive breeders by the enemies Of progress

Ridiculous Ending.
Lawyer John H. B. Latrobe, Jr., OF
Baltimore, was drowned in the Patabs-
co river recently. He was scarcely IS
years old, but his career had been ro.
mantle one, and it recalls an interesting
performance of Grants administration.
Soon after graduating from the UNIVERSE
ty of Maryland in 1873 Latrobe went
with A. B. Steinberger on that famous
expedition to the Samban or Naviqator's
islands in the south Pacific ocean, in
tending to consolidate the islands into
one government, under the protection
Of this country. Some sanction had been
given to the scheme At Washington.
Each island was ruled by a
single chief, and they all welcomed the
expedition and agreed to the plans. La.
trobe had drafted q constitution and
were at once adopted. The government
was reorganized with the chief. who had
the largest following as king. He was
crowned Hiwaii l., king of the Samoan
islands, and made Steinberger prime
minister, and young Latrobe minister Of
war in command of the army. which
was soon uniformed in white pants. blne
coats, and good rifles, while iatrobe far
outshined the king in the splendor of
his raiment. The king was made a
mere figure-head, being unable to sane
tion q law or enforce an order without
his prime minister's consent, while Ia
trobe controlled the treasury. Things
went on smoothly until Sir Edward
Thornton, .Bridish minister to the United
States, had little correspondence with
his home government, and rs q result q
British man-ofwar anchored one day
of the Samoan group, landed boat
load of men and assumed control of af-
fairs. Steinberger put the captain in
irons, but when, a few hours, later, a
second man-of.war sailed up, tie prime
minister saw that he had been rather
hasty and accordingly surrendered.
Latrobe was finally sent back to the
United States, and Steinberge, was left,
ands of the South Pacific. So ended the
kingdom of Samoa, which was making
too much progress to suit the govern
ment of England, and Latrobe returned
to the practice Of law in his native

Tewflk IL the son of slave, and hin

there was no more money to be extract

Twetfk was easy tempered and very ig-
norant, he insisted upon hie right of
Prlmogeniture being respected. Only q
few intriguing friends, who had secretly
backed his luck, when Ismail was at Chi

he made believe. One of them was Sig.

friend and now his private secretary.

he had . very clever wife, and was ux-
orious. The Hanem Emeneh feared no
rival. 1t was she who would reign, and
ehe was an Anglomaniac. Her dearest
friends were English ladies. Whenever
the khedlve gives an audience to . min
lister or foreign consul the Hanem En-
eneh 10 posted behind a screen ofcarved
wood, where she hears and sees, but re-
mains invisible! One day q converse
ton between the French comptroller
and Tew6k was suddenly interrupted by
an alteration behind tho screen. The
disputants were lEmeneh and her
mother-in-law, who is jealous Of her in
f1uence, and is superstitious, ill-tem-
pered old woman, who thinks that it
was by the virtue of her incantations H.
mail was deposed. II the old lady had
her own way, q sorcorer would have
been placed over the cabinet when her
son began his reign. Tewfik would be
delighted If Emeneh had stronger be-
lief in sorcery. His faith in the sut.er.
natural, such as it has been revealed to
him by his mother. is absolute.
He is fond of the compani0nship Of
children, and himself directs all the
Christmas and other juvenile parties that
are given by his three young people.
The eldest Of the trio is twelve years old,
and the most youthful, Princess Kad-
shat, is in her fourth year. A prodigious
quantity OF roman candles and bengal
lights are consumed at these fetes, to
which the children Of distinguished Eu-
ropeans at Cairo are invited.
As ruler, Tewfik has adhered to the
constitutional theory of government. He
is satisfied with drawing his pay, and
leaving to his ministers all RESPONSIBLE
ty. Whatever they decree, he counter
signs and asks no questions s-except be-
hind the scenes, where he applies for
information and advice to the shrewd
Martino.
Tewfik has never been in the money
market. If there is one thing in which
he is firm. it is in the auditing of his
household accounts, which he looks into
carefully. His good nature shows itself in
thousand small ways, but never in pro-
fnseness. Cairo is no longer the Eden Of
the Palais Royal actress.

Novelties at Fairs

The premium lists at fairs held in this
country rarely change in any essential
particular from year to year. The man
ayers of them do not appear to recoe-
nize the fact that there are new enter
prises to be stimulated and new process
es and methods to be encouraged. They
do things differently in Great Britain.
The managers of fairs there offer premi-
ums largely with view of encouraging
experiments in new branches of agri-
cultural industry and in making inven-
tions. At the show of the Royal ARri-
cultnra! society lately held at Reading,
very liberal prizes were awarded for
market gardens and garden products.
As all England is being rapidly convert
ed into vast town, it was thought that
more attention should he paid to the
management of land devoted to the pre-
duction Of vegetables. The display
OF garden products was said
to be the largest and finest ev-
er made. The result of the liberal pre-
miums was to encourage market garden
ing in every part Of the country. Anoth-
er important part of the work per-
formed by the society this year consist
ed in Offering encouragement to invent
ors of machines and implements to be
employed in dairying and farming. Few
prizes were offered for implements that
have long been in use, and the exhibit
ors of them were charged for the space
they occupied on the ground or in the
building. When there isan unsupplied
want in any department of agriculture,
or in any of the industries associated
with it, the society offers rewards for
anything that will fill it. As is we'll
known, the climate of England is very
unfavorable to curing hay and grain and
for keeping them in stack. On this nc
count the society, a few years ago, offer
ed gold medal for the best system of
drying hay during wet weather, which
had the effect to bring out several new
processes and kinds of apparatus Chi

Col. Mills aaid:
There are doubtless thousands of

each year for want Of sufficient knowl-
edge or business qualifications necessary
to dispose Of surplus stock for ito market
value, and at q reasonable profit. In
th3 sale Of improved stock to the best

ton h the possession Of q reputation for

Without this requisite there 10 always q
shadow of suspicion in the mind OF the
purchaser that there may be misrepre-
Pentations concerning the pedigree or
breeding qualities Of an animal, whose
individual excellence might otherwise
be all that could be desired. A man
with reputation Of giving personal and
constant attention to his stock-other
things being equal-has great advantages
with the practical breeder in making
sales over the stockman who intrusts

When water runa Into cistern Though
the conductors while the cistern is full,
the same water, or nearly 10, flows at
1nce out Of the exhaust pipe into the
drain, leaving the old water in the bot
tom of the cistern to remain there indefi-
nitely. With view TO change this ar
rangement, and let the old water out q
fast as its place could be occupied by the
new, attached to the inner end of the
exhaust pipe, which was laid In the brick
just at the top of the cistern wall, . close
fitting pipe extending down to within .
few inches of the bottom of the cistern,

pass through said pipe, and must of ne
cessity come from the bottom, thus dis
charging the old water a. fast any new

whole. After this was tried, and the
water thus renewed at every rain,
there was less necessity for re-
sorting to the other method, that Of
!:sga !!::ttang the 3 piRe' as lately advised By
senltas" In fact, it was not at oil
necessary In 2 rainy season, but in .
mable value. In using the pipe alone,
one must keep the end of It near the
surfa :e of the water. and to do this must
be careful to observe the rise and fall of
the water, for if the pipe is lifted to a
proper position. say when the cistern is
half full, and the cistern is then filled
with rain, the depth will often be to
great, so that the water will be offensive,
and, should the water fall below the end
OF the pipe, Of course the pump would
yield no water until the pipe WIS again
let down below the surface of the water.
This constant trouble of watching and
changing can in great measure be
avoided by causing the oldest water in
the cistern to run out first whenever the

merely to place pipe inside Of the cis-
