MALE FLY.

Both sexes have perfect wings, and the
males are nearly as numerous as the females.
The difference in shape appears in the pic
tllre The female has a small, roundish,
light-colored spot just back of the eyes,
which is either obscure or wanting in the
male. The fly has eleven joints. The at
tackled wheat stem does not swell-only
solidifies.
Farmers will want to be on the lookout for
this new pest Its learned name is isosoma
nigrum. or black isosUma. The good done
by ''book farming" and agricultural colleges
will at length begin to dawn upon the most
benighted old hunks of ruralist when the
results of such work as this done by Prof
Cook begin to soak into his skull, The pro-
fessor's suggestions for getting rid Of the pest
are as follows:
As the insects are in the straw from the
date of cutting till the following May, it
becomes very apparent that by cutting the
wheat high. in which case nearly all the in
sects will remain in the stubble, and then
burning the latter all these will be de-
stroyed. In case there is much green vege-
tation, it would be better to cut the stubble
low before burning. If short pieces of the
straw are found in the grain, these should
be cleaned out and burned. From expert
ments made in the laboratory, by burying
the straws in sand, and the insects still com
ing out, doubt if blowing under will prove
a very thorough remedy. As these have
good, fully-developed wings, rotation of
crops would not serve as well to protect
against tins insect
