Next Years Wheat.

An occasional individual seems to
be afraid that the promised boom in
wheat this year will result disastrous
ly to wheat-growers year hence,
and that in consequence of this it will
be the part Of wisdom to sow lightly
the coming season.
There is apparently but little evi>
dence to justify such an opinion. We
are of the opinion that wheat will do
we'll during the current year, but let
that be as it may there is every rea-
son to believe that wheat sown for
the next several years will be profit
able crop.
In the first place an immense crop
will be required to furnish the coun>
try with anything like the reserves
which it is usually considered safe to
carry of a staple crop of this kind {;
and if the next crop should not be a
liberal one prices of course will be
high, and the work of the producer
well repaid.
In any event those who prepare to
SOW wheat in such way as to have
all the conditions in favor of liberal
yield may rest assured that they will
be preparing for safe and probably
for a lucrative business.

How Wheat Fields are Freed From the
Hessian Flies.

A dispatch from Champagne, ILL.,,
says: Early last spring Prof. Forbes,
State Entomologist, received from
the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington a few of the larvae of
parasite supposed to be destructive to
the Hessian fly. This parasite is
found only in Europe. He under~
took to experiment to prove the lar
vac are destructive to the fly here,
and if so, to what degree. In order
to determine this a small patch of
wheat about a yard square was in
closed in box, arranged so that the
grain could have light and air to
grow. A considerable number Of
Hessian flies and the larvae men
toned were put in and the box
closed that they could not escape and
other insects get in, and thus the ex>
pertinent was begun.
The larvae have Matched and are
flourishing. ihey are almost micro
scopical, and seem to have been
created solely to prey upon the
Hessiau fly. The parasite is neatly
formed, wasp shaped little mite, sup
piled with sharp sting or auger.
With unerring instinct it finds the
place where the fly has laid its eggs
under the husk of the straw, and
boring down into it the parasite lays
its eggs inside the egg of the fly.
There it develops into grub, con-
Stunning the egg of the fly and des-
troying it.
This in outline is what has been
proved by the experiment made.
The parasite was first discovered
committing its depredations upon
the Hessian fly in the wheat fields of
southern Europe.

Three Young Men Toss Up for tn

Three Young Men Toss Up for the
Right to Court Girl.
A wedding is announced between two
well known young people of Des Moines.
There is an inter ting story connected
with the event, and it would be unfair to
call names.
Four years ago the prospective bride,
then quite young, was receiving the at
tention of three gentlemen. They, too,
were young, little more than boys, and
just entering upon the different lines of
work which they had adopted for life.
Two of them, indeed, were still stu
dents. Matters ran along without much
change with the four for some time.
They each understood the situation.
Nothing in the girls manner indicated
any preference. The three boys were
the best of friends, although the situa-
ton was such as to strain their relations
q little.
Finally the three met one day by acct
dent. In some way the young ladys
name was brought up, and after con-
sideration it was decided to match PEN
mics to see who should withdraw from
the contest. 1t was stipulated that the
winner should be in honor bound to de-
vote himself exclusively to the young
lady in the future, and to win her hand
if possible. The losers from that moment
were to withdraw from the race COM
pletely. The losers were further pledged
to act as guardian brothers to the young
lady and see that the winner carried on
no fiirtations with other girls.
The contracts were carried out to the
letter, and the girl was never told why
two of her admirers SO suddenly retired.
And SO, after these years, she is at last
to become the wife of him whom luck
favored in a game of chance. Both are
still young and the gentleman is prosper.
ing in business.
Of the losers in the contest, one adopted
trade and is married. The other ell
tered upon professional career. He is
unmarried and his name would be recog-
nized, were it mentioned, all over the
Western city, Des Moines Leader.

Belief in Sickness.

It is a very old observation that a domi-
nant idea is valuable in controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing Of pain or in the devotion which
leads the Turk to die c~ontentedly before
the Russian bullets, belief is ~afactor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian science may prove an
aid to medical science. The Intelligent
physician of today could receive Il,
greater aid in the scientific practice Of
his profession than to be emancipated by
his patients from the obligation invari-
ably to prescribe a drug. When people
are willing to employ physicians to order
their lives so that they may live in
health, the custom which binds the ply
stefan to prescribe something for his pa
tent will be unnecessary.
AS we have become more civilized this
state of affairs is gradually coming into
place, but there still fingers the expecta-
ton that the doctors visit means drugs.
Christian science and faith cure, more
refined than the spiritualistic beliefs
which have preceded them, form an in
teresting study in mental pathology, and
mark an advance from the grosser stage
of table tipping and magnetic doctors to
a recognition of the fact that among the
weapons employed by the scientific ply
stefan of today an appeal to- determined
purpose to overcome pain is worthy of a
place beside antiseptics and a~nodynes

Men Who Work After Dark.

Future Of Terra del Fueso.

The notions sr Terra del Fuego which
prevailed ten years ago have been COM
pletely upset By reeeD. explorations.
The latest travellers there are Messrs.
Rousson and Willems, who have re-
turned to France from their scientific
mission in Terra del Fuego. These e1-
plorers believe the northern part of the
island can be turned to good account,
and that the day is not far distant when
large herds and focks will be raised upon
ranches established all along the river
valleys A large district north of the
Straits of Magellan, in Patagonia, which
was wholly unoccupied twelve years ago,
IS now full Of little farms devoted to
raising sheep and cattle.
The owners have prospered SO well
that the territory they occupy has be-
come too crowded. It is impossible to
extend this business further north, and
the farmers will therefore be compelled
to turn to Terra del Fuego, which will
receive the overflow from Patagonia. On
Dawson Island, near the northwest coast
of Terra del Fuego, Jesuit fathers are
now engaged in stock raising, and for
two years or so a fine ranch has been
established on the northern coast of
Terra del Fuego, where there are today
about 10000 sheep and 5000 cattle. The
English have been the first to establish
themselves in this territory. Stock
raisers are now reaping a profit of so
per cent. per mum. The explorers say
the availability of the island for stock
raising has been amply proven, and
there is now no doubt that a prosperous
future is before it.-Chicago Times.
