tracing as much attention as Montana,
Oregon and Washington; Montana be-
cause it now ranks first in the produc-
ton of precious metals; Oregon, because
of its rich valleys, and Washington Ter

timber, coal, minerals and wonderful
production of fruits and cereals. The
rapid growth of Spokane Falls, with a
water power exceeding even that of
Minneapolis; Tacoma, on Puget Sound,
the terminus of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, with 1900 inhabitants; Seat

CHINCH BUGS.
Remedies and Preveutives for This serf-
Gus Pest.

Remedies and Preveutives for This Serf-
Gus Pest.
Remedies and preventives recommended
by Professor Riley. and found to be eff
fective on trial In the determination OF
that serious pest. the chinch bug. are
briefly as follows Irrigation. burning,
rolling, trampling, manuring, early sow
ing. mixing seed. or protecting one plant
by another. preventing the migration
from one field to another by upright
boards or plowed burrows or bitches and
abstaining from cultivation of grains
upon which the insect feeds With no In
sect more than the chinch bug is there
greater necessity for clean cultivation.
Numbered with other summer remedies
Is irrigation where 1t can be practiced. In
addition to winter burning the remedy can
be used to good effect In other cases, as
where the attack of the bugs appears to
be confined to definite portion of the
field, that portion should be overlaid with
straw and burned, If not too large. The
prevention Of migration by means Of
bitches or tarred boards has been EN-
ployed with good effect in some localities
Sowing strips of plants distasteful to the
bugs, such as fax, hemp or buckwheat,
around the fields to be protected Is re-
sorted to in some cases. On the other
hand. sowing strips Of favored food
around the fields to be protected is prac,
ticed. as a strip of timothy. Hungarian
grass or millet. The bugs lay their eggs
by preference in this protective strip and
then are destroyed by the blowing and
burning.
A new, and, under certain circumstan
ces, efficacious remedy Is that of kerosene
emulsion. Applications made by Profes
sor Forbes and reported upon by L. O
Howard all proved eficacious The time
Of application was just after the wheat
harvest, when help Is abundant. Expert.
ments made with kerosene emulsions by
Professor Osborn, of Ames, Ia. and re-
ported to the chronological department
at Washington. make the emulsion appear
of value when directed against the bugs
that are messing on corn. This resulted
in the destruction Of great numbers. In
this application the cyclone nozzle was
found exceedingly satisfactory.

AgriculIuraI Notes.

r. G. Head, president of the Interna-
tional Range association, disputes the re-
port that the loss Of range cattle the past
winter reached 90 per cent. He asserts
that cattle in Colorado, Texas, New Mex
leo, Indian territory, Wyoming and n
portion Of Arizona were never in better
condition at this season Of the year.
Col. Curtis ayers that good pork, with
fat and lean evenly distributed, can be
made by feeding the pigs on turnips.
A bill has been introduced in the New
York Legislature fixing bounty of two

In the ordinary conditions of town work

Give Milk Cows plenty NJ wa,.r

Milk stock are averse to any great
amount of exercise, and do not ordinarily
take any more than is necessary in sup
plying themselves with food Give them
plenty of food and an easy access to
water and they will quickly fill them
selves and spend most of their time at
rest. When water is situated in out of
the way places on farm, cows will often
go thirsty for a considerable portion of
the day rather than make a special jour
ney to obtain it. This has been observed
by all practical farmers, and yet it is
curious that many who are conversant
with the fact neglect to take proper ad-
vantage of this popularity in the habits
of the animal. It is an important object
with the dairy man who desires the high
est success to promote, as far as may be
without resorting to artificial means), the
taking of an abundant quantity of water
by his herd. Milk cannot be made with
out water, and when it is secreted largely
q large amount of water is absolutely re-
ouired

Sale Of the Franchise.

ed the news about the White Oaks

"What newsl"
"Wh that the franchise has
been sold. and the read is going
to be built at once il not 80 jner,
and we're gong to have coal sell
ing for fifty cents q ton. and! J"
The above will indicate the ma
ture OF the persecution which ev-
cry member OF the Times staff has
had to undergo on every street
corner tor the last two days. The
Times fully appreciates the public
interest in everything that relates
to cheap coal, and the Times is on
the alert for any real news about
lnc nlle Odhs |IIBuCllIoCs 1HO
readers Of the Times may rest as
sured that as soon as there is any
thing to tell the Times will tell it.
As yet there is nothing definite
to tell. The negotiations are still
IN progress, but NJ agreement has
been reached. II. L. Detwiler
has made two propositions, n to
sell the franchise, the other to sell
an option for ninety days. The
other parties, Messrs. B. F. Ham
matt, OF Kansas City, and E. A.
Smith, of st. Louis, have made
counter propositions. Neither par
ty has yet yielded enough to bring
about al agreement. 1t now Gems
probable that the negotiations will
result in the purchase of an option
for 80 days, byiMessrs Hammett &
Smith, for $1,000. But even this
is not certain, tor B. F. Hammett,
IL. L. Detwiler and several others
propose to take a trip over the
route from here to White Oaks. in
order that the prospective purcha>'
ers may satisfy themselves con-
corning the character of the route
before they take an option. The
party will probably start next Sat
urday.
Thei above comes directly from
II. l.. Detwiler and b. F. Hammet
and may therefore be relied upon
as correct.
The real wner OF the White
Oaks franchise are the Detwllel
brothers, E, A. Warner and Sam
Schultz. They are the only men
who Lhave Money enough in it to
speak of. There are several other
parties in the city who have a nom.
