INSECTS IN THE STEMS OF WHEAT.
Farmers are often made aware that the
growing wheat is being injured by in
sects with the names aud habits of which
they are unacquainted. To such the
following information about insects
which burrow in the stems of wheat, de-
rived from bulletin of the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station, will be both seasonable
and interesting:
The joint worm, wheat straw worm
and wheat-stem saw-fy all belong to the
same order of insects as the ant, bee and
wasp. The eggs are deposited in the
growing stems, and the insect passes the
fall and winter in the stubble. Burning
the stubble will probably destroy the
majority of insects in a field, while a
rotation of crops will do much to pre-
vent their becoming abundant.
The grain sphenophorus destroys
wheat by burrowing in the basal joints
of the straw. This is one of quite a
number Of species which do serious in
quiry to corn, being known as corn bill
bugs.
The stalk borer is near relative of
the cut worm and army worm, but de-
parts from the habits of these last by
burrowing in the stems of wheat and
other grains. Little damage is done to
wheat, its chief injury being among corn
and vegetables.
The wheat-stem maggot is the young
Of small fly which deposits its eggs on
the leaves of growing wheat and grass
In spring, sumner and fall. The mag
gots hurrow in and destroy the tender
growing stems. and are particularly
noticeable in wheat fields just before
harvest, when they work just above the
upper joint, causing the heads Of the
grain to wither and turn white.
AT other times they cause the centre
OF the plant to turn yellow and die.
Sowing plats of wheat in midsummer
and blowing these under in September
will destroy many of the larvg, as will
also the destruction of volunteer wheat.
Some varieties of wheat are attacked
more severely than Others.
The companion wheat fly and the
American frit fly are small, dark-colored
flies, resembling minute house flies. The
habits of their Larvae are much the same
as those OF the wheat. stem maggot, and
similar remedies and preventives will
probably be found equally effective.

uAYMAKlNa.

The advantages of early cutting OF
meadow grasses have been demonstrated
over and over again by both the practi-
cal farmer and the scientist. By no
means the least of the advantages gained
by early cutting is the second crop.
When the greater digestibility OF the
young bay is taken into account the gain
becomes still more evident.
Observation and experience lead to
The conclusion that the farmer who cuts
two or more crops of comparatively
young grass in season not only gets
better hay, but more of it, than he who
cuts but one over-ripe crop.
Late cutting of clover interferes de-
cldedIy with the clover seed crop, which,
in May localities, commands high
price. The amount of seed is materially
increased when clover is cut early. Some
farmers claim that the seed crop is
doubled by early cutting.
Every farmer has his>own "best plan"
Of curing hay. The matter may be
summed up in fewest words by saying
that the method which involves the
least handling, especially when hay is
almost dry, is the most profitable one.
The farmer who is SD fortunate us to
have dry, sunless weather for haying
will be certain to have the finest quality
Of hay, other conditions being favorable.
1t generally conceded that hay which
has been exposed to rain is diminished
in value, and yet the great majority of
farmers do not employ hay caps. Those,
however, who have once used the hay.
caps rarely, or never, discontinue the
practice. Good unbleached muslin COW
ers often save their cost the first season.

LUMPY JAW TESTS.
In a Mild Form 1t Can BE Cured,
and It Is Not Dangerously
Contagious.
Healthy Cattle Exposed 60 the
Disease Pas sed by the Govern,
ment Inspectors.

CHICAGO, Nov 29.-Tests conducted
today at the stoclzyards by representa-
tives OF the government bureau of ami
NAL industry proved that lumpy jaw, in
a mild form at least, can be cured, and
is not dangerously contagious. The
tests were conducted by DR.. Salmon.
Eighty head of cattle were brought
from the Riverdae diStilcry to the
slaughter house of Hess brothers, at
FortIeth and Union streets. Several
of them were hopele35ly dis
eased, and the rest, perfectly
healthy or slightly affected with
lumpy jaw, had been Kept with
these to test the theory of contagion.
All had been treated for the trouble for
a length of time, varying from two to
three months. OF those exposed to con
tagion, or those only slightly affected
when treatment began, not one showed
the slightest sign OF disease. All were
passed upon by the government experts
as absolutely satisfactory. On the other
hand, however. those animals in which
the disease was far advanced when the
government experimenters took them in
hand showed but slight Improvement.
DR.. Salmon expresses satisfaction with
the results of the experiments. g-e
I'VE have demonstrated, he said,
"that Iuuipy jaw IS not always incur
able. aud thar in mild form it is not con
tagious. Indeed. it is slightly probable
that it is hot contagious at all. Our

STOP IT FOR A YEAR.
Senate Committee on Immigra-
ton Will Recommend Impor-
tant Changes in the Laws.
Proposition Submitted That All
Immigration Shall Be Sus-
pended for One Year.

New YORK, Nov. 29.-The senate
committee on immigration resumed its
session this morning at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. Five of the six members,
including Senators Chandler, Proctor,
Grey, Hale and Faulkner, were present.
Senator Call, of Florida, is detained in
Washington on important business until
Thursday. The committee Immediately
went into secret session. All that can be
learned of the report which is likely to
be agreed upon today is that it will
recommend important changes i'll the
present immigration laws, and that
these changes will be such as will re-
strict the number OF foreigners in this
country. The time is so short that the
committee will probably not submit
bill with their report, but the latter, 1t
is expected, will be referred to the COM
mittee by the senate. with Instructions
to bring in bill. The committee adj
iourned at IL O'clock to meet tomorrow
at II a. m. The most suitable PROPOSE
ton which was submitted at today's
meeting was this:
"That all immigration except from

FOUGHT NINE YEARS.
End of Law suit in Which
Each side Claimed Millions
OF Dollars.
Nine Years OF Litigation Followed
Before tho Final Decision
Came.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Among the
latest decisions handed down by the
court of appeals was one which. under
the title of "CIark +. GriggS Us. Mel
vile e. Day, as executor of Cornelius *.
Garrison" has a curious history. both
by reason OF large amount OF money
involved and the persistency with which
the questions involved have been litl-
gated for nine years. In July, 1883,
GrIggs, who had been the contractor
for Commodore Garrison in the build
ing of the Wheeling u Lake Erie TAIL
way (from Toledo to Wheeling), sued
Garrison in New York for an account
ing. and claimed that there was due
him over 81, 900, 900, while the defendant,
Garrison, asserted that GriggS owed
him over So, GEO, COO The trial was be-
gun in 1884 before referee, who III
1889 decided that Griggs owed Gar
rison's estate 81. III. 395.S4. The costs
Of this trial were $22, 1870.
In the meantime Commodore Carl
son died and his executor, Danvilla &.
Day, took up the fight for the estate.
From this Judgment GriggS appealed to
the general term Of the superior court Of
New York city. where the Judgment
was reversed and a new trial ordered.
On the second trial the referee decided
that Garrison-s estate owed Grlggs Sill
667. The costs taxed by Griggs in this
trial amounted to SIC, 412.6O. The fees
OF the first referee, Mr.. Ransom. were
S4,250; of the second, Mr.. Odell, $4,000.
and of the third, Mr.. HornDlower, 81, 800.
From the judgment of $lSS.0S9, the
estate in turn appealed to the general
term of the superior court OF New York
city, where the Judgment Of MIR. Horn
blower was affirmed. Then the second
and final appeal was taken by the estate
to the court of appeals at Albany. where
the second judgment III favor OF Carl
sons estate was affirmed, and thus, at
the eud of nine years. Of litigation put
all end TO the long and weary tight.

RATIFIED IT'S BONES.
An Aristocratic English Family
Skeleton Dragged From
Its Closet.
The Dowager Duchess of Suther-
land Details Family Troubles
i'll Pamphlet.

LONDON, Nov. 29-The dowager
duchess OF Sutherland. formerly Mrs.
Blair, whose relations with the family
of the late duke are. to put it mildly,
somewhat strained, has issued a ten
page closely written pamphlet, in which
she details her grievances. The pres
ent duke, her step-son, instructed coun-
sci yesterday to contest his fathers
will. and this fact may have had some
thing to do with the appearance of the
pamphlet today. The dowager duchess
relations to the duke before marriage
were the subject of much gossip on
both sides of the Atlantic. The couple
visited America in 1889 and were mar
ried on March i'll Florida.
In her pamphlet the dowager duchess
SAYS that she and the duke were adj
vised that it would be we'll for them to
have a record of the events of the last
three years. She has therefore written
Il true account Of those events aided by
diaries and letters. The doWager dueh-
ess then proceeds to state that she be-
came engaged to marry the duke in
February, 1889. The duke wrote to his
three children, announcing the engage
ment, and expressing the hope that the
duchess would be kindly received by
them. In reply to these letters the
duke received the most unklnd answers,
showing an utter absence OF care for
his future happiness.
Continuing, the duchess says that on
her return to England she went to Stat
ford house, the dukes residence in st.
James, and found the Marquis of Stat
ford. the present duke, and Lady Alex
andera. the late dukes second daughter,
had ransacked the place, leaving the
private rooms bare of ornaments. The
duchess made advances toward recon-
citation with the children. She re-
ceived no response. Lady Alexandria,
instead of responding to her overtures,
wrote a disagreeable letter to her father.
When the duke and duchess visited the
family residence at Llilleshal, in ShrOp-
shire, the Marquis of Stafford wrote that
for once he would not mind their visit
ing there, but if they went there again
he would leave the place. All through
the pamphletthe dowager duchess gives
the details of incessant SquabbleS be-
tween herself and the children.
