burning is impracticable. Starving
them, as suggested, by cultivating
grass, corn and vegetables, instead OF
grain. is also uAavailing, since the
Hessian fly feeds on many species OF
grass and the cereal grains belong to
the grass family. The proper way to
rid fields is to burn all harboring
places-dry grass, stubble, etc.-and to
cease the cultivation of winter wheat
for a time, or else to keep it fed closely
by sheep in the fall and early spring.
Very late sowing of wheat checked the
ravages of the fly in cold climates, but
would probably be imperative in Cali
fornia.
In the North the progeny of tho
autumn brood, deposited in September,
say, lay eggs in May. These develop

the base of the leaf of the first joint,

California it is probable the insects may
breed all winter, but they have numer-
Gus parasites and wet weather is de-
struction to them. A healthy soil rich
in all the ingredients of plant growth
will often carry the plant out of serious
danger, unless in seasons of extraor-
binary prolificacy. 1t is difficult to
reach the insects with poison. since
they live by suction. Burning and
blowing up the stubble are good, local

of early-sown wheat. The true RENE

enriching of the soil, for rich seilwi

the insects breed to such degree as to
seriously injure the crop. That is,
weak plants will succumb, while strong
plants win lose little vitality Chicago

systematic cruelty that killed her. 1t was
alleged that McAndrew used to torture the
child by putting bit in her mouth and gag

said, that he might know her spirit in case it
