A difficulty in the use of wire trellis
for grapevines, says the Country Gentle
man, is the tendency of the posts to sag
BY the action of heat and cold on the
wire. Various remedies are resorted to
to obviate this diffculty-large posts
are procured, and they are set deep in
the ground; broad, fat stones are placed
against the posts; timber braces to hold
them extend from the top in an oblique
position to the ground. and other means
are used. A new mode by which the wires
do all the bracing is represented in

Consul in Chicago in 1861. In 1888 he
was made Consul for the North Ger
man Confederation, and in 1871 Consul
for the German Empire. While at
tending to his Consular duties, Mr..
Claussenius built up lucrative bank
ing and exchange business, and when,
in 1877, Bismarck made Chicago diplo-
matte Office, Mr.. Claussenius resigned,
as the holding of his position would
have compelled him to give up his bust

ed Consul for Austria-Hungary, a post
which he still holds.

After eighteen years of service he was

attending to their commercial duties,
have the right to marry subjects Of the
Queen residing in foreign lands, and
are compelled to register births and

Especial Chicago Correspondence
Aside from the large seaport cities,
Chicago is the only point in the United
States in which the nations of the world
maintain a regular Consular service.
This is the highest compliment which
foreign governments can pay to the
greatness and importance of the West
ern metropolis; and that the compli-
ment is not unworthily bestowed is
proved by the fact that several OF the
leading nations have found it necessary
to appoint Vice-COnsuls in addition to
the regular Consuls, as the work OF
their respective offices has grown be-
yond the control of one man.
Consuls are. in the first instance, COM
mercial agents who attend to matters OF
import and export and certify to the
value of goods shipped from foreign
points to places in their native lands.
They also represent the interests OF
their countrymen in courts of Law, and.
If necessary, perform diplomatic duties.
Diplomatic Consuls are individuals Of
considerable importance in the social
affairs of the cities whore they are 10
Gated. In case such a city is seaport.
the Consul is expected to do the honors
whenever a feet or man-0f-war belong
ing to his country anchors in the harbOr.
His rank is equal to that of Captain in
the navy, and Consul-General ranks
with Commodore.

THE CUT WORM.

4 Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed
with tho Spirit Of Deviltry.
The cut worm, we need not say, is a
destructive pest. There are several
species of them, and they feed not only
upon corn, but upon grasses and nearly
all our cereal crops. They receive their
name from their habit of cutting of the
plant on which they feed. If, however,
might bear with them. But seemingly
possessed of real spirit of deviltry,
they cut of plant after plant apparently
for the fun of the thing. They are not
an imported insect They have been
here from the first knowledge that white
men had of the continent. The birds
serve US good purpose in devouring
the cut worm. Plow the land in early
fall, and give the birds a chance. It is
probable that whatever benefit comes
from blowing in the fall in the direction
of destroying the cut worm, is the re-
suit of giving the birds chance at
them, for it is said that the unprotected
larvae will stand temperature of thirty
degrees below zero. Hence there is not
much hope of freezing them to death.
One writer advises that they be de-
stroyed by digging them out by hand.
Pretty tedious and difficult work, some
will say. Well, this writer says not.
He declares that it is by no means so
tedious procedure as would be thought
at first as by passing along the corn
field early in the morning the cut stalk
will reveal the whereabouts of the night
marauder, which, by digging around the
stub. may soon be found and crushed.
As this plan implies the loss of at least
. single stalk to larva it would be very
we'll in planting to practice the advice
of the poet: 1.-Two for the blackbird,
two for the crow; two for the cut worm,
and four to grow" This advice will be
all the more pertinent if the corn is to
be planted after late spring-plowed
greensward. This writer further says
that If our farmers will heed the above,
aAd give the go-by to all those quack
remedies which obtain annually an I'M
merited place in our periodicals, such IS
salt, plaster, etc. Though all fertilizers
which promote rapid growth are always
to be commended as aids in the work Of
insect destruction), this cut-worm evil
will soon assume less importance. The

HUTCHINSON, September ~.
EDITOR ADvOoATE;-Since the county
presidents adopted the now famous ain
gals resolution" the party bosses and the
party press OF the state have been Indus
triously circulating the statement that
the alliance Is rapidly losing its members
and that It's power as an organization is
broken.
A comparison Of the reports Of county
secretaries for the quarters ending March
3tst and June 30, gives interesting infor-
nation In this respect
Seventy-three county organizations re-
ported March 8lst, showing a gain in
membership for that quarter OF $4,000.
Now there are one hundred and one
counties organized and the reports show
gain In membership Of over 10000 for
Che second quarter Of the year.
This coming Immediately after the
passage OF the fatal (Y) "Ingall resolution"
makes Il very difficult for one TO see the
"lEllllng" effect of that resolution upon
the organization.
In fact, the alliance ls In better condi-
tion than ever before. Reports OF new
organizations are coming in daily, and
