COMPLIANT GROWING IN A ROOT-CAGE.
Infested by wireworms and cl.ck-beetles. From
specimen in the Cornell insectary)
nothing is growing, and that they feed
and thrive upon buckwheat, mustard
and rape Therefore it is not worth
while to lose the use of the land for
season, or to grow these crops to de-
stroy them.
OF the insecticides tried kerosene
was effective when used in sufficient
quantities to thoroughly permeate the
soil to the depth of several inches, but
this makes it too expensive for ordi-
nary practice. The same was found
true of bisulphide of carbon, salt,
kainit, muriate of potash, lime and gas
lime. The poisoned dough seemed not
to attract the wireworms at all OF
the methods of trapping employed,
punches of freshly-cut clover dipped in
paris green water and placed about the
field under boards destroyed very
large number of the adult beetles, but
none of the bats attracted the larvae.
If this method could be carried out
systematically for a term of years it
would doubtless be effective; but as
the larvB remain in the larval state
three years or more, as observed at the
station and by European writers upon
the subject, it would prove very slow.
Fall. blowing, which is the only effect
i've, practical method of destruction
discovered, also has the same Gisadvan-
tage, as only the third year larv@ are
destroyed by it. In July of the third
year of their existence the larve
changes to soft white pup@ resembling
the adult beetle in form, and in August
the adult state is assumed, but, strange
TO say. the insect remains until spring
in its cell in the ground. Any disturb
Rnce during this time proves destructive
TO it's life. If, therefore, the ground is
plowed and kept thoroughly stirred for
three or four weeks after July 20 all
these adults will perish and autumn
sown crops may be put in. If this
method of procedure is followed fol
three or four years the soil will become
nearly free from the wireworms. Short
rotations of crops can be planned te
bring this about.

How to Make Lambs Grow.

Ground oats, placed in u pen where
the lambs can feed at trough which
the sheep cannot reach, with liberal
supply of milk from the ewes, will
make lambs grow rapidly, and if they
gain as they should they will reach the
market month sooner than ii they de-
pended on the ewes alone, and US this
gain in time is an important point to
keep in view for the high prices, every
inducement should be made to keep the
lambs feeding nnd growing, but the
gain will not be rapid unless the lambs
are well bred, nor will grades equal the
pure breeds. The heaviest gains made
have been with Oxfords and Shrop-
shires. The main point to observe
with the eve is that Of providing
plenty of milk for her lamb. Home

REGARDING WIRE WORMS.

Various Methods Tried for Destroying
tho Greedy Parasites.
In many sections wire worms are
very destructive to growing crops, and
It has been exceedingly difficult to pro-
tect vegetation from them. At the
Cornell university experiment station
investigation has been in progress for
the past three years to determine the
utility of various recommended meas
ures and to devise other effective ones.
Bulletin 33 contains the account of
these experiments and Investigations.
Wire worms are long, slender grubs, OF
q yellowish white color, having un-
usually hard bodies; the hardness and
form of body suggested the name
They are the young click beetles or
swapping bugs, as they are often called
from their habit of doubling quickly
with swapping noise when put upon
their backs. BY this movement they
throw themselves some distance into
the air and come down upon their feet
There are several species of these
beetles, the young of many being per.
fectly harmless, but others feed upon
seeds and the roots of plants which
they find in the soil Destructive
species of wire worms were placed in
breeding cages, and the following
remedies were tried:
Protection OF Seed: I. BY coating OF parii
green and -four; 2. By coating OF tar: 3. BY
soaking in II salt solution; T. BY soaking in {
copperas solution; 5. BY soaking in a chlorid,
of lime and copperas solution; 8. BY soaking II
kerosene oil; z. BY soaking in turpentine; g. b!
soaking in strychnine solution
Destruction OF Wire-worms !. BY starva

over two hours presenting fairly
and eloquently the issues now be-

The pleasing condition which con-
fronts the Democrats is this: There
are Democrats who would vote for
Cleveland without tariff reform, and
there are Democrats who would
vote for tariff reform without Glove
land. Now when they can have
both Cleveland and tariff reform it
is beautiful and delightful to medi-
tate upon the multitude of joyous
Democrats who will press to the
polls to vote for Cleveland and
tariff reform.

fairly entitled to the sympathy of

over one Hundred Lives Lost by m Ex-
pIosion OF Gas.
LONDON, Aug. ga. fearful mining
accident occurred yesterday at the Park
slip coal pit near Bridgend, mining
town in Glamorganshire, Wales. The
day shift of miners had not been long in
the mine before a most terrible explo-
SION was heard.
The day shift comprised 143 men. and
their relatives and friends rushed to the
pit mouth to learn the extent of the dis
aster. The explosion had caused the
earth and rock to fall and the mouth of
the pit was closed. Not single man of
the 143 in the mine made his escape.
Hundreds of miners in the vicinity vol
unteered their services and the work of
clearing the pit mouth began at once.
Six bodies have been recovered. The
work of rescue is still in progress but
owing to the difficulties with the venti-
lating apparatus succeeds but slowly.
Hundreds OF persons surround the pits
mouth, most of them waiting to identify
the bodies of friends and relatives.

Whether the Roads win Again Employ
the Strikers.
Now that the switchmen's strike is
off, the question is worrying the men
who went ont whether or not the rail-
roads will take them back. 1t was given
out Wednesday night that on several
roads an understandings had been reached
whereby the old men would be en-
ployed whenever possible.
Troops VIII Go Home.
1t is probable that within the next
twenty -four hours the troops will be ON
the homeward march. An order was
sent to the commanders of the various
camps early Thursday morning, giving
directions how to proceed about break
ing camp.
There seems to be no chance of a
grand military parade here, such as was
proposed. Generals Porter and Dole
think the scheme is not feasible. They
do not want to ask the men to go
through a nard days marching after
their trials in camp, and in the second
place the majority of the troops will
take trains at their respective camps
without coming into the CITY.

Not Asintic chnlara.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-In an interview
DIR. Whitcomb, who inspected the
steamer Comma, which arrived there
from Hamburg Thursday last, and three
of whose passengers subsequently died
from what Is said to be Asiatic cholera.
emphatically denies that the disease was
the dreaded eastern scourge. He at
tended all three of the victims in the
hospital and says they died from choler-
inc.
1t is now declared that the sickness ON
the steamer Laura was due to auu .e
diarrhea, and not to cholera. The
Laura is the vessel that arrived at Lynn
ON Friday last with two suspicious cases
of sickness on board. The health Of
ficials would allow none of the passen-
gers to land, but ordered the Laura to
put to sea.
A London firm has received an order
from the authorities of Hamburg for
3S, 900 gallons of disinfecting fluid and
thirty-five tons of disinfecting powder.
The Evening Times has reopened tho
agitation against the entry of pauper
aliens. 1t demands that the government
issue an order to prevent the entry of
imports or immigrants from cholera in
fected ports. 1t adds that several of the
immigrants from the steamer Portia
have now gone to the east end of Lon
don where they will probably develop
the cholera in the next few days and be-
come centers from which death will
spread throughout the city.

Some Rescued.

LONDON, Aug. -Forty-three of the
men imprisoned by the explosion in the
Parkslip mine at Abeskensfing have been
found to be alive. Thirty-fiye of them
have been taken out; the other eight
were too weak to be moved and are still
below. For the remaining one hundred
miners there is no hope.
1t is said that some of the imprisoned
men were unconscious when found,
while others were in a dazed condition.
The women about the pit mouth are be-
coming distracted, and are begging with
wild impatience for the officials to hurry
up the work of rescue. They fear that
some further accident viii happen again
and imprison the men. 1t is needless to
say that everything possible is being
done not only to rescue the living, but
to recover the bodies of the dead. The
after-damp is so bad that the work of
rescue is often retarded, the volunteers
being driven out of the excavations until
the air improves.
