Tho dynamic value Of one pound of
good steam coal has been estimated By
Professor W. D. Rogers as equivalent
to the work Of n man n day, while
three tons would represent his work
for twenty years, counting 800 working
days in q year. He has further esti-
mated that a four-foot seam would
yield one ton of good coal to the square

would represent the labor of over

FARM NOTES.

CHINCH BUGs Remedies and pre-.
yentives recomue ended by Professor
Riley, and found to be effective on trial
in the determination OF that serious
pest, the chinch bug, are briefly as fol-
lows. Irrigation, burning, rolling tramp
ling, manuring, early sowing, mixing
iced, or protecting n plant by another,
preventing the migration from one
field to another by upright boards Oh
plowed burrows or bitches and abstain
ing 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 reme-
lies Is irrigation where it can be prac-
ticed. In addition to winter burning
the remedy q be used to good effect
in other cases, as where the attack of
The bugs appears to be confined to a
iehnite portion of the field, that Dor.
lion should be overlaid with straw and
burned, II not too large. The preven-
lion OF migration by means OF bitches
Or tarred boards has been employed
with good effect in some localities.
Sowing strips Of plants distasteful to
The bugs, such rs flax, hemp or buck
wheat, around the fields to be protected
s resorted to In some cases. On the
other hand, sowing strips Of favored
tood around the fields to be protected
Ls p~racticed, as q strip of timothy,
Hungarian grass or millet. The bugs
lay their eggs by preference In this pro-
tective strip and then are destroyed by
he blowing and burning.
A new, and. under certain circum-
stances, eflcacious remedy is that of
kerosene emulsion. Applications made
by Professor Forbes and reported upon
by l.. o. Howard all proved ~eHicaciOus.
The time Of application was Just after
the wheat harvest, when help is abun-
liant. Experiments made with kero.
sene emulsions by Professor Osborn, of
Ames, Ia, and reported to the En-
Genealogical department at Washing
ION, 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.

ter of water before freezing; after being
frozen four days 2070, after 81 days %,
