Life History OF the Insect and Remedies

Though the Hessian fly damages 9TH

has been but imperfectly known until
Prof. S. A. Forbes, of the University of
Illinois, began an investigation of the
subject. He finds that there are always
two and sometimes three or four de-
structive generations in n single year,
but the chief damage is done by the
first spring and last autumnal genera
tions. The winged insects, delicate,

eggs hatch into millS-white, oval,
smooth larvte or maggots (o) which

DRAFT OF WAGONS.
Recent Experiments Overthrow Many Ae-
cepted Conclusions.

Recent Experiments Overthrow Many Ne
cepted Conclusions.
Tests by Prof Sanborn, of the Utah
experiment station, tend to overthrow
many accepted conclusions on this sub
ject. The following summary is taken
from the bulletin:
When the load was placed over the
hind wheels it drew 10 per cent. easier
than when it was placed over the front
wheels.
The hind wheels drew 1913 per cent
easier over an obstacle three inches
high than the front wheels. This was
when attachment of the force was
directly applied to each set of wheels.
The hind wheels, when drawn over
an obstacle by the usual hitch, drew
only 1.2 per cent easier than the fore
wheels.
When the ends of the wagon were
reversed and the draft was applied di-
rectly to the hind wheels it drew near
ly per cent. easier.
The incline of the reach toward the
front wheels, as now put in, causes the
wagon to draw harder than it should.
Lowering the reach or the point OF
application of force upon the hind
wheels materially decreases the draft;
therefore the reach should run horizon
tally or on an upward incline from the
rear to the front wheels.
Higher front wheels will reduce draft.
The change of the angle of draft, as
applied from the end of the pole, varied
the draft very markedly and the rela-
tion of the draft of the front to the rear
wheels.
A long hitch, or such hitch as oc-
ours when lead horses are used, in
| creases draft.
Loose burrs with one-half or more
inches play lessen the draft of the load
Little difference was found between
the draft of three wagons.
Draft varied with the varieties oi
grease used, from nothing to II pei
cent.--lard proving the best, or prac
tically the same as manufactured
| axle grease, and but little better thar
| cylinder oil.
The draft of varying roads and con
dition of roads varied very markedly
being between the best and the poorest
classes of local roads nearly 800 pei
| cent. in difference. In this trial neither
the best nor the poorest roads were
available-only such as are found il
country towns.

THE JAPANESE mo" DANCE.
An Ontlandish Performance by Automa.
ton-Like Actors.

An Ontlandish Performance by Automa-
ton-Like Actors.
The No dance of the Japanese is
wholly artificial, the movements of the
actors being as stiff, stilted and meas
ured as the classic idiom in which the
dialogue is spoken and the ancient and
obsolete ideographs which set forth the
synopsis of the action. Confined to
yashil1is and monasteries, the No was
for the upper classes, who alone could
understand its involved and lofty die
tion and intricate symbolism.
The No is trilogy occupying four OF
five hours of three successive days. The
first set of scenes is to propitiate the
gods; the second to terrify evil spirits
and punish the wicked and the third to
glorify the good, beautiful and pleasant,
The dramatis personae are gods, god
heroes of early legend and history, and
much of the action is allegorical.
BY long, open gallery at the left the
actors approach the elevated pavilion
or platform of the stage, which is with
out curtain or scenery, and almost with
out properties. The costuming is superb,
many of the rich, century-old brocade
and cloth of gold garments having de-
scended several generations.
The actors enter at gait that out
struts the most exaggerated stage stride
ever seen, the body held rigid as q
statue, and the foot, never wholly lifted
sliding slowly along the polished floor.
These buckram figures, moving with
the solemnity of condemned men, utter
their lines like automata, not muscle
nor an eyelash moving not flicker OF

MOkANNA THE YELLED.

Influen of the Most Remarkable Char
acter of the Eighth Century.
The veiled prophet was not rea-
ton of mere fancy, but genui ne his
toric character of the eighth century.
His name was Saukim Ben Allah, but
he called himself NJ ollanna the Yelled.
Having lost one eye from an arrow
wound, he wore thick veil to conceal
the deformity, and laid claim to be an
incarnation of the d city. He had many
followers in Arabia, and soon possessed
himself of a large part of that country,
and was acknowledged by number of
cities. His influence was retained by
many devices, such being his skill in
magic and legerdemain that his tricks
passed for miracles.
Troops were sent against him by the
Calipu-Mahadi, his armies were de-
feated in the field. and he was beseiged
in a small fortress in the south of
Arabia Finding success i'm apostolic and
deeming escape hopeless, he poisoned
his attendants in a banquet and leaped
into well or eistern which had been
partly filled with destructive acids.
When the conquerors forced IA way into
the castle they searched in vain for him
or his body, the latter having been en-
tirely dissolved by the corrosive fluids
The secret was discovered by the con-
session of one who had beheid the prep
arations for suicide; but in some parts of
Arabia there are still persons who be.

Tho Young People Kept UP Bravoly for a
Time aud Then slumped.
When the train pulled into the way
station the young woman was standing
on the station platform surrounded by
several other young women, who were
ali talking at once. The young man
stood short distance away, holding
big valise.
"Hop on there, Marial" he called out
Don't be all day about it."
Every girl in the crowd with the ex.
ception of the one addressed, exclaimed,
"Oh" and looked as though something
dreadful had happened. She retorted;
Hop on yourself if you want to. I'm
coming"
The other girls said "OhV' again and
the young man got on the train. Then
he called out again:
Cant you get move on you, Maria?
You'll talk the arm off of some one."
"Pll come when get ready, jacob
she returned.
Then she hastily kissed the girls good
by and boarded the train, while they
retired to corner of the station and
held whispered conference over some
thing that seemed to trouble them.
Flop down there!" he said, as they
came to double seat. You don't mind
riding backward and it bothers me-"
She sat down and he put big valise
on the seat beside her and then settled
himself comfortably on the other seat,
while the old lady two seats behind ex-
Il
muttered, "The brutc!'
For fifteen minutes after the train
started he pretended to be reading a
newspaper and she was looking out of
the window. But every minute or two
he glanced at her over the top of his
paper and her gaze frequently rested on
| his face.
And she seemed to be proud of him.
Suddenly she turned toward him with
the exclamation:
Jacob, do you need every paper in
his carp
He threw her over one he had in his
lap.
81 wonder you didn't think of it be-
fore!" she said.
You're able to speak If you want
anything!" he returned. You've got a
tongue"
There were more comments from
various portions of the car, and every
one seemed to be wondering what he
would do next.
Ten minutes later he looked stealthily
around the car. Every eye was fixed
on him or the young woman who was
looking shyly over the top of her paper.
He threw his down.
Maria" he said, "they've sized us
up; we can't fool 'em and there's no use
trying"
A moment later the newly made
wife's head was pillowed on her hus
bands shoulder, and as she looked ur
into his eyes she suggested:
perhaps we overdid it, Jacob"
perhaps we did," he said, "but thi!
is better anyway"
Then he kicked the paper in the aisle
and they carried on whispering con
versation for ninety miles. .-Brandor

THE PEAR TREE SLUG.
When and Where 1t Begins Its Work an,
How to Destroy 1t.


How to Destroy 1t.
The pear tree slug begins it work
about the middle of June or first of
July. 1t works on the upper side of
the leaf, eating out the tissue and leav-
ing only the under skin and veins. In
this manner it will sometimes destroy
all the foliage of pear or cherry trees.
The insect passes the winter in the
pupa state in the ground, the flies, the
progenitors of the mischievous brood
of slugs, appearing in May or June in
the northern states. The female is a
little over one-ffth of an inch long, and
the male is a little smaller When the
trees on which these flies are working
are disturbed, they fall to the ground,
and folding up their antenne, they re-
main motionless for awhile.
The female deposits her eggs early in
June, in the leaves, in Sits made with
a saw-like appendage at the end of her
body, which cuts through the skin of
the leaf In about two weeks these
eggs hatch into little white slugs
which are not Shiny at frst but the

rnrred paner FOR Roofnr.

In using tarred felt for roofing the
poultry-house, it is important that a
coating of gas-tar, or some such paint,
be applied as soon as the paper is put
on. This is a matter frequently neglect
ed, and the consequence is that the
paper is more liable to be injured by
strong winds The gas-tar should be
applied every six months until the root
is two years old. After that time it
will be thick roof, and as hard as tin,
