millions on millions of the sporo trichum
globuliform, as it is called, appearing until
the entire surface of the fluid is covered.
Each spore, which can be distinctly seen
only under microscope, is capable of pro-
ducing millions of other spores wherever
subjected TO conditions favorable to propa-
CATION. The fungus has been tried with
deadly effect on the cabbage worm, the
June beetle, the flea beetle, the cucumber
beetle and various other insects. The
problem that Prof Forbes is trying to
solve now is practical method of utilizing
his discovery. The distribution of jars
filled with spores among the farmers, who
could infect live chnch bugs and set them
free in fields being ravaged, has been pro-
posed. 1t is hoped however, to devise a
method of preserving the spores in the
same way that the yeast plant is preserved
in the yeast cake. Culture from this
source could thus be started whenever it is
desired.

neeth to Agricultural pests.

Chinch bugs and such agricultural pests
are threatened with extinction as complete
as that of the dodo, according to recent as
ISOLATED press despatch. For some time past
Prof. $. A. Forbes, state entOmologist OF
Illinois, has been engaged in propagating a
fungus that speedily destroys them. AS
soon as it gets a foothold on them it grows
rapidly, covering them completely with
substance that looks like fine -four. 1t was
discovered by Prof. Forbes in 1889 on the
chinch bugs that were ravaging the fields
in southern Illinois. His attention was at
iracted to it by the fact that it preyed on
the chinch bugs to such an extent that
they We're practically eXterminated. The
Idea occurred to him that if it could be ar
lhcially prOpagated, and bugs that had
been infected with it turned loose in a
field where other bugs were at work, one
of the heaviest sources of loss to the wheat
grower might be prevented. He has since
succeeded in cultiyating the spores in walls
,llled with a fluid of corn meal and beef tea
reduced to consistency of thin batter
Each vial is lightly corked with soft cot
TON to exclude other spores, and here
growth goes on with prodigious rapidity,

Management Of sheen.

There is no farm stock that will so
quickly run down if poorly cared for as
sheep, says the American Cultivator.
None requires more care in feeding The
average usefulness of sheep does not eX-
tend above seven or eight years, and they
are at their best when four to six years old.
Unless old ewes are sold off little before
they pass their limit, they will prove bar
rem or their lambs will lack vigor and vital
ity. In one case only is it allowable to sell
young and vigorous ewes, and that is
where the eve lost her lamb and has be-
come too fat for breeding. This does not
often happen until the eve has a full
mouth, for while the teeth are growing
sheep will not become too fat on ordinary
pasture alone. If eve loses a lamb she
should be put in the poorest feed, and ev-
cry effort made to keep her from becoming
too fat. But when sheep get past age put
them in a flock by themselves, and feed
few oats every day through the summer
They will be fat by fall, while if allowed to
remain poor and then be grain fed, when
put on dry feed for winter the sheep will
lose flesh and probably die before spring
in spite of all that can be done. A half
pound of oats per sheep daily at pasture
will put more flesh and fat on old sheep
than any feed can do in winter. Oats are
the best grain for beginning to feed old
sheep. They do not need grinding. If on
this they show a gain, replace a small part
of the oats with beans or corn, but de-
crease the amount in doing so until it is
seen that the sheep are not cloyed. Every
time new feed is given decrease the grain
ration for a week or more A very little
oil meal mixed with oats fattens old sheep
better than anything else.

For the Cure of PrIokIy Heat.

In many persons the eruption known as
prickly heat comes from the corrosive &C
ton of the acid perspiration. 1t is worse
whenever the clothing has an opportunity
to rub the skin. In many persons having
delicate or thin skins much relief may Of
ten be obtained by applying a lather of
soap and letting it dry in. The soap is
sufficiently alkaline in its nature to neutral
ize the acid of the perspiratiOn, and stop
its corrodng effect. The soap used should
be of the finest kind. As a rule, chafing
is due to the same cause, and can be cured
by the treatment mentioned. Some per-
sons find the use of soap much more bene-
fetal and satisfactory than that of vaseline
or oil of any kind. The oil acts merely as
lubricant and to soOthe the inflammation.
The soap does the same, but also removes
the cause of the trouble to a great extent
In applying the soap to infants, extreme
caution should be used. Only small sur
face should be soaped until certain that no
injurious results follow. Some persons get
relief from bathing with weak solution
of bicarbonate of soda.

Hot weather sMggestions.

At the opening of the heated term few
good resolutions should be made. Among
the first should be one to cultivate tran
quillity of mind Nothing more conduces
to comfort of body. In hot weather fiery
argument is almost as productive of a
raised physical temperature as is brisk
walk in the blazing sun. Moreover, its eff
fects are less readily dissipated, for it is
easier to sit down and get cool after bodily
eXerton than it is to so subdue the per-
turbed mind that it will not cause series
of "hot Pushes for possibly hours after
vehement discussion.
The same rule that applies to undue eX-
ercise of the tongue and temper should be
observed in intellectual pursuits conducted
in the dog days. Do not attempt to shirk
steady work in this line, but let all you do
be done methodically, not spasmodically.
Adherence to the German motto, with
out haste, without rest relentless as il
seems, is really less wearying than series
of violent efforts resulting in fatigue
which can be relieved only by utter repOse
SO much for the mental attitude in hot
weather. The bodily condition is of equal
importance. Many people seem to think
that ease in summer can only be obtained
by laziness, that employment of any sort is
the mortal enemy of bieH etrc, and so de-
vote the whole of the long days to that
which is eXpressively termed ''loafing.'
What wonder then if for them the weeks
drag drearily, and that they hail the re-
turn of shortened days and frosty nights
as a release from eHnuH
There is no better way to keep cool than
to have some regular occupation, be it new
or so trivial. that will serve to divert the
mind from the bodily condition. No mat
ter what this employment may be, whether
the charge of certain branches of house
work, the doing of the family mending, the
conducting Of course Of reading, the
studying of language or science-what-
ever it is, let it be made duty, and fol
lowed conscientiously.-H Jumpers Bdzdr.

FARM NOTES.

1t is an impression on the part of some
that fowls that were Matched in incubatOrs
differ in some respects from those Matched
under hens. Such is not the case. Wheth-
er Matched in incubatOrs or under hens it
is only an application of heat, and when
the chick comes out of the shell it makes
no difference how the heat may have been
applied to it, as it is then just what its
parents are, and will partake of the same
characteristics.
You cannot drive the cow TO her fullest
limit in breeding strong healthy stock and
at the same time drive her to her ut
most capacity in the production of milk
without loss either in the yield of milk or
constitution of the COW or her offspring
but a plentiful supply of nourishing food
will in great measure supply the waste.
The trustees of the Iowa agricultural
college have appropriated $1,000 to estab-
lish an experimental dairy and build a
creamery. The work is to begin immedi-
ately and professor of daiIying is to be
elected as soon as possible.
Good land is not the only thing required
for the production of good crops. There
must be as well good preparation and good
cultivation. If the plant food is so locked
up that the plants cannot AVIAN lllelliseiNeS
of it, it is OF little use. Cultivation rem
ders the plant food available.
The danger incident to use of arsenite'
against insects finds new illustration in thu
case of the man whose flesh was pierced
by a rose thorn on bush that had been
sprayed, presumably with Paris green OIL
London purple, and who came near dying
from blood poisoning.
If by conveniences, five minutes worl
can be saved each time the milking am
feeding is done, it will amount to six full
days of 10 hours each in year.

Wet Hay In the Now.

Years ago, when moving away hay by
hand, forkfuls that seemed especially green
or damp were left on top of the NOV. 1t
was surprise to us then to note that in
this position they nearly always rotted,
though exposed to air. The reason is that
as the green hay in the NOW heats it sends
up its moisture in heated air, which con-
denses as soon as it meets the colder air
above. This keeps the wet grass contin-
ually wet until it is rotted. But in such
case the green clover below will usually be
found in excellent condition. Top off with
dry hay, or better still, with few forkfuls
of dry straw. from last years stack.
Straw is also excellent to top the stacks of
hay. Usually for a foot or more at top the
hay will be nearly worthless. If straw
was covered to that depth it would absorb
the moisture of hay and be improved by
its aroma.-Americdn CultirdtOr.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Twenty Yrnrs Ago

Twenty Years Ago.
How wondrous are the changes
Since twenty years ago,
When girls wore wooden dresses
And boys wore pants of tow,
And shoes were made Of COwhde
And socks of homespun wool
And children did half-day's work
Before they went to school
The people rode to meeting
In sleds instead Of sleighs.
And wagons rode as easy
As huggies nowadays
And oxen answered well for teams,
Tho now they'd he too slow.
And people lived not half so fast
Some twenty years ago.
Oh, well do remember
The Wilson patent stove,
That father bought and paid for
In cloth the girls had wove;
And all the neighbOrs wondered
How we got the thing to go,
They said 'twOuld burst and kill us all
Some twenty years ago.
The girls took music lessons
Upon the spinning wheel,
And practiced late and early
At spindle, swifts and reel
The boys would ride the horse to mill
A dozen miles or 80
And hurry of before twas day,
Some twenty years ago
Yes. everything has altered so,
cannot tell the cause,
For men are always tampering
With natures WOndrOus laws.
And what on earth we're coming to
Does anybody know
For everything has changed so much
Since twenty years ago.

buy one. Meantime, while you are at
