WHAT THEY HAD FOR DINNER

Just after dinner yesterday number o
gentlemen were sitting in the Office of th,
Hotel Carey when a walk was proposed b,
one of the party. The idea was discounten
anced by the majority in . minute on thu
grounds of having eaten too much dinner
This led to discussion of how theil
friends were faring for dinner, when ons
gentleman produced letter and read the
following extract: "Your uncle and aun,
will dine with us on New Years, and We
regret exceedingly that you are compelled
to be away from home. More especially
in the far west where they can't possibly
set very tempting table. Remembering
your weakness for good dinner we fee
for YOU" Now, said be, am sorry had
good dinner and do not deserve that
sympathy. Another proposed to send q
bill of fare to several of his friends who
would be solicitous about his welfare,
but there were enough menu
cards to go round. The frs,
speaker then suggested the EAGLE be re-
quested TO publish it and that motion pre-.
vailed unanimously.

CORN ENEMIES.
Tho Worm and "Dlack wccvil''-lfow to
~ Get Rid Of Them.

Tho Worm and "Biack wceyiin-Ifow "a
ri Get Rid Of Them.
Farm and Firt,ftle: .,-
A correspondent from Oregon some
time ago asked me concerninga "worm"
which intests tho kernels Of corn. In
this latitude I have never had any trou.
bio with insects depredating on the
grain Of corn, but tho people Of States
south Of New York Slate have every
year large share OF the ears OF their
early sweet corn bcfouled, partly eaten,
and entirely made unit for table use by
the corn or boil worm. There II Is 4
common pest, the parent, moth, be.
ing doublc.brooded. The first brood
attacks the earliest corn, and the second
brood goes for the late crop, 80 that tho
intermediate varieties usually escape al.
together. There Is really very little
that can be done for this pest except
keeping close watch over tho patch OF
early corn, keeping oil md destroying
tho worms as soon as their presence Is
detected. This treatment, OF course,
will greatly diminish the second brood.
The other corn kernel eater, which
gives much trouble TO corn growers ut
the South, Is tho Calandra oryzu, or
rice weeyil, commonly called the "black
weeyil."' 1t Is especially fond Of rice,
but also attacks wheat and corn. The
perfect insect, long.snootcd beetle,
botcs hole In the grain and drops in It
a single egg, going from one grain to an
other. The eggs hatch and the grubs
begin TO eat out nice little cavity for
themselves, the kernel serving them
both as u snug residence and us food.
When full grown they gnaw their way
out, leaving the door carefully closed
again alter them. The point Of exit Is
stopped up by them with particles OF
flour. In spring the perfect beetles
emerge from the grain.
+ The remedies to be suggested for this |
pest are exactly the same us those recon-
mended for the bean and pea weevil-
gather the seed corn carefully, and eth
or expose for some time to 40 or 100 de.
grees Fahrenheit. or place 1t in a tight
bag, box or barrel, with a little bubach
mixed in with It, or expose in such
closed receptacle to tho vapors OF bisul-
phide or carbon or spirits Of turpentine.
Exposure to temperature below zero
for little while is also sure to kill these
grubs, which probably is tho reason that
we ut the north need not be In much
lear OF this corn weevil.
