Easy to Conquer.

The Hessian fly, SO destructive to
wheat, causes millions of dollars OF
damage annually, but is effectively
controlled by prompt and systematic
action. At harvest leave the cutting
bar OF the reaper as high as possible to
avoid carrying OF the straw and with it
the dormant pup8 of the fly. When
the sheaves OF grain have been carted
away the stubble should be thorough
ly and carefully burned and the field
sowed to COW peas, to be turned under
in the fall. To make the stubble-burn-
ing remedy success a whole neigh Dor
hood should cooperate in it, for a
single neglected field will winter
enough flies in embryo to stock . whole
county. For individual growers the
following precautions will be found
profitable: About September 1 SOW

such as DiehI. This will serve as a
trap and soon receive the eggs of the
flies. When they have ceased their
work the strip should be plowed under
as deeply as possible and the main crop
sown. Where the Hessian fly is
very numerous in the spring it is best
to postpone sowing the main crop until
after the first sharp frost. The fly is
delicate and can not endure cold. Red
or yellow wheat grows strongly, has
hard leaves and is therefore damaged
less by the fly. The most nearly fly
proof wheats are the Lancaster, Med
iterranean, Red Chat and Clawson.

According to the New York Medical

covered cure for bald-headednesS
The following procedure is to be re-
peated daily: 1. The scalp should be
1athered we'll with strong tar soap for
ten minutes 9. This lather is to- be re-
moved with 1ukewarm water, followed
by colder water in abundance; then the
scalp is to be dried 8. A solution of
bichloride of mercury, L to 900, the
menstruum being equal parts of water,
glycerine and cologne or alcohol, to be
rubbed on. 4. The scalp is then rubbed
dry with solution containing betan-
aph thol one part, and absolute alcohol.
200 parts. 6. The final step in the pro-
cess is an amounting of the scalp with
an unguent containing two parts of salt
cylic acid, three parts of tincsure o,
benzoin and 100 parts of neatsfoot oil.
This treatment should be continued fol-
q period of six weeks or longer. Lassar

through the inner upright. and the
end Of these neck-halter chains slipped
through, one hole answering for a chain
from each side. The chain is what is
known as four-O, and has a swivel at
the ''split,'' SO that it will not kink.
This chain gives the COWS much free
dom of movement. allows them to COM
fortably lie with their heads upon their
sides and often allay the irritation of
an itching hide. If the end bar of the
chain is put through two end rings,

into the neck-piece, and when the
COW is loosened, the chain is hung over
this; and when the same cow is to be

neck and fastened without bother. The
balance of Fig. 2 is self-explanatory.
With this style of stable, the care OF

MES! The stage manager thought they
would do as well as white youngsters.
The first Murderer in Macbeth" is not
a super: but the actor who once played
the part with Macready should have
been one. AT rehearsal he was so stupid
that Macready had a nail driven into the
floor to show him where to stand. That
night he entered at his cue and stood
.anxiously scanning the boards T..
''What are you doing?" whispered
Macready.
"Looking for that blanked nail!'' was
the loud and Disguised reply; and it
brought down the house.
Supsrs on the French stage have been
known frequently to protest against APP
pearing as ''the enemy" in patriotic
plays. They think it degrades them.
In melodrama called ''The Battle Of
London, an English regiment was repre-
sented as retreating before French one.
The house would not stand this, and the
taunts SO affected the retire sting supers
that they turned on the supposed French
and threw them into the pit.
Every one knows how dull an affair is
the Bosworth fight in Orchard ILL.,;
but on one occasion in London it was
lively enough. It seems that super
had been hurt in the mimic fight thu
night before, and the stage manager
had given him half sovereign as a
balm. He told his fellows of his luck
and the next presentation of the fight
was a massacre What were broken
heads to them when the salve took the
formoo half sovereigns?
Speaking of half sovereigns, the pay
of . super in Chicago is twenty five
cents night. Tho super captain, who
takes the trouble of drilling, deducts
one nights pay from the amount COM
ing to each man. These sums OF twenty
five cents are perquisites, for he has a
stipend from the theater.
Some of these. captains are accsm-
plished boodlers. Here is one of the
tricks of trade: When super has
worked four Or five nights the captain
discharges him on some pretext or other
and takes new man. But the captain
hands in his bill for the usual quota and
pockets what is due the discharged man.
Then again, there are always young
men who wish to got near to their foot
light idols. and they pay the super cap
tain for the chance to ego on" This 10

quently said, and the time is coming
when the development OF muscle will
receive more attention and the develop
ment of fat aess. But barring It's fat
ness our pork is good. because it is
largely fed upon good sweet food. Those
who are not feeding their swine upon
such food should know, and they must
know, that the pork is injured just to
the extent that they feed food that sis
not fit for a hog to eat" The average
swill barrel is an abomination. It is
all one can do to approach some swill
barrels, and yet the stuff is fed in large
quantities to the hogs. Garbage that is
SO rotten that it threatens to start an
epidemic is given to hogs. 1t is impos-
sible to make good pork upon such food.
and the fact ought to be recognized by
all swine raisers. The hog will eat
any thing. but that does not signify
that it should be allowed to eat any
thing. Feed good. sweet food of the
proper kind and the chances of your
having healthy swine and good porh

Queer Cases That Have Come Under the

Queer Cases That Have Come Under the
Observation of Specialists
A lady who lived in q fashionable sub
urb Of London confined her attention
strictly to keys, which she used to bury
in her garden. No door or cupboard in
her house was fitted with . key, and
when she went out shopping she would
always endeavor to edge near the door
and abstract the key. She was not at
tracted in the least by keys unless they
were IN use. Her relatives used to buy
up old keys, and leave them about the
house. in the hope that she would sati-
ate her passion for this curious form Of
the collecting mania, but they were
quite unheeded- Akey might lie on the
drawing-room table for months without
her evincing the slightest desire to bury
it, but if it were brought into use, it was
sure to be lying beneath foot OF mold
before many hours we're over. In. the
same way, a Well-known doctor dis
played an uncomfortable penchant foR
towels. He would as often as possible
make an excuse for requiring . towel in
the course Of his professional duties,
and would usually stuff it into the
capacious tail pocket of his coat if he
thought that he was unobserved. Curt
ously enough. this man was quite an
authority upon the question Of k1eptO-
mania, and used to deliver most learned
discusses on the subject Perhaps the
most remarkable case Of kleptomania
was that of a man who refused to eat
any food unless he had stolen it This
queer idea of his several times caused
him to endure such protracted fasts tbs
he was with difficulty brought round By
the forcible administration of nouPiSh-
ment. His servants were obliged 20
continually watch him, with a view to
keeping themselves informed regarding
the amount Of food that he ate. Finally,
they hit upon method OF making him
relieve them of their anxiety. They
concealed fooa of various descriptions,
with the result that their master used
to hunt about for it. and had no diff
