The Architect Hill Investigation.

Washington, 24-Assistsnt Secretary
New, chairman ofthe Hill investigating
committee, received to-day long letter
from -Representsiiv Murch, explain
ing his position with reference to tie
pending investigation The letter is for
the present withheld from the press, but
it is known that Murch makes several
objections to the management of the in
vestigstion. OF these the n cstimpUrtant
is that Assistant Solicitor Robinson, who
MuTch asserts is partial to Hill, is allowed
as member f the committee. When
this objection was made known TO
Secretary Folger he a. once conferred
with Mr.. Robinson on the subject. The
latter said while he fe't sure he could act
justly and conscientiously in the investi-
cation be was heartily willing TO with
draw, if there was The least reason for
such course. Secretary Folger Gays that
substitute for Mr.. Robinson will be Sc
Iected in few days, not because he feels
the slightest ubt of the stter's perfect
integrity, but in order tfat no charge Of
favoritism can po;sib y be msde against
any member of the committee.
Washington, 25.-The Hill investiga-
ton was again postpon' d, Robinson's
place on the comm being yet IN
supplied.
Ex-Representstive Murcb, Of Maine,
said TO aD Associated Press reporter to-
night. in explanation of his position in the
matter OF investigating the charges
against Supervising Architect Hill. Of the
treasury department, that he had no per-
sonal feeling in pursuing the investige-
ton, and that he would take no part in
pressing tbs charges before the treasury
committee, unless it became evident
that the inquiry w3uld be q fair
one, and unless he were allowed
counsel aud the fees and expenses Of 6
witness. In the event of failure to secure
fair investigation and the presence o!
necessary witnesses, he proposed TO lay
the charges of conspiracy to defrsud gov
eminent against Hill and others, before
the grand jury of the district, Mr..
Murch said further that the charges be
preferred were drawn up by Secretary
Folger himself, after he (Murch) had
stated in his speech in the House OIL
Representatives that the architects office
at the treasury was rotten throughout.
The secretary said he had written him
after that speech asking for specihca-
tions, and these he had furnished. On
the strength of the allegations therein
made, Secretary Folger had appointed
the investigation committee. The per-
SOneL Of the committee was not sstisfsc-
tory to Mr.. Murch, and he has asked
the secretary to put at least one outsider
upon it.

sAys it is remarkable to fnd Sargent's

Destroy Noxious Weeds.

Such weeds as chickwecd and purs-
lane, which very quickly 60 to seed,
should be carefully removed from the
land, in order to destroy the seeds
they contain ; the safest way is to
dump them in some outocthe.way
corner where they can do no harm,
or TO compost them carefully with
hot horse dung, which will eGectual-
ly destroy the seeds, if the compost
is turned carefully so as to bring all

Although plants take from SO 10 %
per cent. Of their growth from the
air, yet the air affords them no lime.
This, in order To avail the growing
crop, must be mingled with the soil.
The plant can receive it from no
other source. As soils are formed
from rocks, and as most rocks con-
tain more or less lime, IL follows
that nearly all soils in their virgin
state contain more or less lime enough
in most CAGES to bring good crops
without the addition Of more. The
pioneer farmer, for a few years, sell
dom has occasion 70 apply lime.
Sandy soils, in which there is little
or no lime, require it from tie first.
Clay soils sometimes contain no lime,
and in this case the addition Of lime
is Of great service. Felspar soils,

WET lands should not be plowed
deep until they have been thorough
ly drained. Alluvial soils and deep
clay loans, where the surface and
subsols do not materially differ, can
scarcely be titled too deeply. Thin
soils, however, should not be plowcd
below the available plant food. 1t
takes twice as much manure to fer
tilize land when it is plowed to
depth Of ten inches, as when it is
plowed five inches Ion the other hand,
by plowing only five inches deep the
soil will be exhausted much quicker
than when the plowing is only ten
inches.

An old wheat raiser, who is gen.

the other day that in his experience
be found it best to drill his wheat
east and west instead of north and
south. His argument was that in

drilled cast and west would not heave

The Hcsgi n Fly.

1t is possible that many farmers
do not recognize, for certainty, the
llessian Fly. On the wing it can
not be distinguished from other flies
Of the same family which are not
only harmless but beneficial TO farm
ers. A mistake in their identity
often gives rise 10 false fears. In
the Hessian Fly the head, fcelcrs,
and thorax are black. The body
measures onc.tcnth Of an inch in
length and the wings expand one
fourth inch, or more.
Two broods, or generations are
brought to maturity in the course Of
a year, and the flies appear in the
spring and fall, earlier in the south
and later toward the north. In Penn
sylyania the fall brood comes TO ma
turity and the females deposit eggs
about the last Of September and the
FIRST OF October, When the wheat
plant has put forth its second or
third blade she lays from twenty TO
forty eggs in the little hollow that
runs lcngthwisc between the little
ridges Of the blade. These eggs are
mere reddish specks, not more than
one.ffticth Of an inch long. In from
four TO eight days they hatch out q
small reddish worm, which at once
crawls down the blade and disappears
in the cavity between the blade and
the stem, lodging at the point Just
below the surface Of the ground, with
their heads toward the root Of the
plant. They do not cat the stalk.
nor bite it or penetrate it at all.
They just lie lengthwise along it,
never moving, and are nourished by
the sap which they take into their
stomachs through their bodies by
absorption. One maggot seldom in.
jures n plant, but when two or three
are thus fixed around one stem II
weskeRs it and either falls down or
dies. These maggots come TO their
full size In about six weeks (middle
Of November TO first of December)
and then measure three-twentieths Of
an inch in length. BY this time they
are covered with a hard brownish
skin and resembles faxseed. On
opening this flaxseed case the insect
will be found lying loose within it in
the maggot form. The maggots re-
main in their cases, unchanged, till
the end of April or FIRST of May,
when the case opens and the insect
comes out transformed into a fly.
Soon afser they come out in the
spring they begin to lay their eggs
on the blades of wheat as before, on
higher places, Of course, and con-
tinue TO lay for three weeks. The
maggot's hatched eggs run down the
stem of the wheat nearly to the root
become stationary, take the fiaxseed
form the last of June and frst of
July, and when the grain is harvest.
ed are left in the stubble to be trans.
formed into flies in the fall. They
usually migrate in immense swarms
and seem to follow warm currents of
wind. This accounts, in measure,
for the ravages of some fields and
the escape of others.
