and caps for misses that are repeated
in all colors of smooth, rough, OF mixed

sides, and narrower still behind. The
brim is faced with velvet, and there is

Discovery of a NewEnemy to This ESQ l.
rent.
The conflict which is in constant op.
ration between map and the creeping
things of the earth so equally bal
ance4 tinlt there is some doabt as to
hich will conquer. No sooner docs
man find some effectual remedy to
check the ravages of one insect than
another makes its appearance to devour
vegetation and that has been supposed
to he proof against the whole insect
tribe. We look back to our boyhood
days and call to mind the luscious cur
rants that grew almost spontaneously,
with no enemy to modest them, and
hanging in large clusters ON the b shes
until September How little did we then
suspect that some creeping worm would
come and destroy every green leaf be-
fore the currants could grow. and thus
leave the half green fruit to bake in the
sun. And the potato fields of our boy
hood, how green and luxuriant they
kept until the cool nights of autumn
sickening odor of the rot which comes
in a night and lays low the tops and
makes the tubers disgusting mass of
corruption. But no sooner did we get
familiar with this new disease, than
came a disgusting slug to strip every
leaf from the stalks before the blast was
ready to destroy them. Thus one thing
utter another has been laid low by some
ew enemy, and is only saved by per-
istent efforts directed by the sharpened
wits of man. But one product of the
garden has been spared from destruct-
i've insects, and has been gathered I'M
furnished from insect pollution il has
been looked upon as a product SO clean
and so good that every New England
Christian is expected to have his stom-
ach filled with it before he goes to lis
ten to the Sabbath sermon. Who has
ever suspected that little insignificant
enemy to our own Boston bean would
suddenly make his appearance to de.
stroy the purity and the good qualities
of an article so necessary to mark the
weekly culinary calendar
This new enemy appears in the shape
of very small worm that works in the
bean, evidently during the autumn, and
passes the winter in the bean to come
out in the spring like the pea bug. 1t
does not appear quite as large as the
pea bug, but makes up lin numbers what
it lacks in size, four or five sometimes
being found in single small bean. If
this enemy should spread as other sim
liar enemies do it would not only be a
serious drawback on the production Of
the bean, but it would be death blow
to the bean pot, for our New England
baked beans would be among the things
of the past. What are we to do about
this new enemy, will any one tell u.s.?

SMALL Farm S.
The Difficulty That Lies in the Way OF
Profitable Culture.

The greatest difficulty experienced in
laking the farm pay is that too much
land is cultivated. This experience
came to the writer one year age
when, by the mistake of a
hired man, heap of manure
intended for a five-acre field was all
spread over two acres, and the three
acres was left untouched The field
was to be planted to sweet corn for
market. The yield of the two acres
was better than would have been ex-
pected over the whole five, and this
was, no doubt. in consequence of the
excellent cultivation given to keep down
the abundant growth of weeds. The
three acres was fortified with artificial
manure, and yielded fair crop, which
was so much gain. Moreover, the two
acres produced heavy crop of milIet
after the sweet corn was harvested,
which was so much more gain. Every
year the writer is more and moreas ID
that the farmer who would have the coar-
age to work only half bis land. and put
on 1t the manure and labor he would
have put upon the whole of it, would
find his enterprise well rewarded. 1t may
be some encouragement for those farm
ers who are worrying over the problem
of how to make a living on one hundred
acres of land to know that farmer who
is well-known writer upon dairyipg,
and who lives near Rochester, N. Y
makes sufficient living from five acres.
His little farm is mostly in fruit-nu-

The Advance of the Star Toward the
Earth and What 1t Portends.
There will be a fine chance for posterI
ty to dodge if the present doings of the
star Arcturus undergo no change. The
result of the observations of these doings
made at the Greenwich Observatory in
1888. numbering 200 and extending over
a period of five months is the clear es.
Enlistment of that stars movement
toward the earth dead on at the rate OF
something more than fifty miles a sec
ond, $500 miles minute, $50, 900 miles
an hour, 4,320.000 miles a dav. An
eightyton gun drives proiectile | 400

Two hundred times greater than this.
To speak of it as shot out of gun is to
use faint and inadequate smile. This
celestial projectile is moving over dis
lance equal to that between the earth
and the sun every twenty-one days.
1t has, however, 1922. 00D of these
distances to traverse. therefore it Will

Scorched, snuffed out like vapor likely
long before the contact, and our whole
solar system gone to slaves like a bucket
with one piece out. If we haven't any
interest in this result we have in the
confirmation of things which foreshad
owed it, and this will be the point OF
future observation. If the present mo-
ton of Arcturus is orbi'al it will in time
appear stationary and then recede; but
nothing so far has been discovered point
ing to this. 1t is, apparently. coming
right along; still its orbit may be so
mighty that it may require years before

Got His Head at Last.


During the war the Confederates offered a
price for the head of General Milroy, the first
colonel of the old Ninth Indiana Regiment He
has for four years been surveyor general of
Washington Territory and when the rebel
brigader Lamar was appointed Secretary of the
Interior. there was again a chance to obtain the
official head of Milroy. Lamar peremptory
asked him to resign and he promptly refused
when the President suspended him, so
that after more that twenty years wait
ing. the rebels are on top and the old Union gen
eral is beaten and disgraced so far as it is in
their power to disgrace him. The General
stated these facts in letter. read at a reunion
of the Ninth at Logansport, which caused much
feeling and resolution of sympathy for their
old commander and censure for the administra-
ton, the later portion being finally Withdrawn
because the meeting was non political one.
