NEW ENEMY OF WHEAT.

A great deal of mysterious damage
was done to the wheat in the Northwest,
particularly in Minnesota, the past sea.
son. The heads filled up poorly and the
stems broke off before the grain was ripe,
as though beaten down by hail, which
many thought was the case. The Ento-
mologist of the Minnesota State Univer-
sity has just discovered, however, that
the mischief was done by the Grit
Fly" an insect moro destructive in its
ravages than the Hessian fly. This little
pest mates in the early spring, and the
female deposits her eggs at the joint of
the wheat stem. AS each female LAYS
about 1000 eggs on an average, and only
one or two in each stem of wheat, from
500 to 1000 stems will be killed by a
single fly. These eggs hatch small mag
gots, which bore themselves into the
center of the stem, and destroy the
joint. The maggots soon reach full size
and turn into cocoon, which resembles
the faxseed, and they are found over
the first joint of the stem. Stems in
tested by such worms, while they grow
to full size, do not head out perfectly,
but are still heavy enough to cause
breakage at the weak part. By the time
breakage occurs the maggots have turned
to flies and thus make their escape
through the ruptured stem. New Or

with barnyard lane that leads back
to other fields of the farm, or to creek
where the stock obtain their water sup

panions, or to sun themselves during
pleasant weather, or simply to exercise
the freedom offered them. Many DOL
lars worth of the most concentrated farm
fertilizer is thereby lost to the farm each
year, and to all the remedy is plain and
simple. Instead of throwing the manure
from the stables out under the drippings
OF the caves, it should be thrown under
permanent or temporary shelter, and
hauled to the field at any time, winter
or spring, and placed in heaps over the
surface of the farm. There should be
sufficient shed room or basement com.
modious enough to shelter all the stock
comfortably, and keep them spending
most Of the winter under said shelter. A
barnyard large enough for the straw
stack and fifteen foot space around
that, before the fences or buildings are
reached, is Of sufficient dimensions for
all practical purposes. When buildings
do not border on the yard high tight
board fence should be constructed, to
act as wlnd-break, and prove CRATE

and manure. -American Agriculturist.

MoLAssEs FOR THE STOCK.

The low cost of molasses should bring
this valuable feeding substance to the
notice of farmers who are feeding cattle,
either for fat in the flesh or in the milk.
The price of it at the present time is two
cents per gallon of twelve pounds, In
New Orleans. This is equal to SIS. 33
per ton of 1000 pounds. As it contains
only III per cent. of water, and as
much as eight per cent. of albuminods,
and 641 of carbonaceous matter, it has
a feeding value of $3.50 ton.
1t has long been used by the English

The advocates of cremation have
IN their favor some strong arguments
They say the mandate that dust
snail return to dust is irrevocable,
and It's fulfilment is inevitable; that
we can IN no way prevent it; we may
obstruct or we may assist, aud reason
dictates the latter course. Since the
longer the process is delayed the
greater is the danger to the health of
The living, cremation is a beneticent
institution. Its growth in Europe
mas been surprising, and in Italy
there are large numbers of crema-
tories, and in this country the preiu-
dice against the movement is de-
creasing. 1t is only eleven years
since the formation OF the New York
Cremation Society, the first institu-
tion of the kind in the United States,
and not until the year 1885 was the
first operative crematory inaugu-
rated, yet there are now in various
parts OF the States nearly a score of
these incinerators in more or less
continuous service. The number of
cremations which have been con-
Quoted each year in one of these
temples In Buffalo gives a fair idea of
the progress which the sentiment in
favor Of this method is making.
During 1886 eight bodies were incip.
Grated, and in each successive year to
the end OF 1891 the numbers were re-
spectively, II, 16, %, 80 and 81. In
this temple everything possible has
been done to mitigate the sadness of
the last ritual. The temple is built
OF dark-brown sandstone, and it's

stained glass. The moderation takes
place privately after the funeral SER
vice, and the ashes are delivered to
the undertaken to be disposed of as
the family may direct, or they may
be left at the crematory. A society
formed after the organization of the
pioneer society has reduced to ashes
since the year 1885 upward of $50
bodies. The process as carried out at
one of their principal temples is as
follows: The furnace is of fire brick
throughout and separated into two
distinct but similar compartments.
The body is placed in a chamber di,
rectly above that in which the fuel
is consumed. The bottoms of the
retorts are solid, but the sides and
ends are pierced with holes, through
which the heated air Of the furnace
has direct access to the body, while
the flames are not permitted to ap-
proach 1t. The heat of the retort
soon liberates everything volatile in
the body and these emanations are
conducted through another highly
heated chamber and thus rendered
odorless and absolutely innocuous be-
fore they pass through the chimney
which forms their means of egress
to the air The time taken up in re-
ducing body to ashes depends some
what upon the size and condition of
the person when alive. In this fur
mace it is about two hours; in many
Others it is little over an hour.
The fuel used is coal, and in five or
six hours from the starting of the
fires a temperature Of from 1000 de-
grees to $500 degrees Fahrenheit can
be obtained.

BULBS.

In making a selection Of house plants
for winter growing the different kinds of
dubious plants should not be overlooked.
Probably the most beautiful and fragrant
OF the Holland bulbs which are noted for
their ease of culture, are the hyacinths.
These can be grown either in earth or
water. When they are grown in earth a
single bulb should be set in five or six
inch pot. Use common garden soil
mixed with sand, in proportion one
third. Press the earth down around the
bulbs until the upper part can just be
seen. Water we'll and set aside in cell
lar or unused room or attic. Allow
them to remain in this way for few
weeks until they are well rooted. If
planted by the first of September these
bulbs should be well started by the mid
die of November, and should bloom in
about three months.
1t is much easier to bloom hyacinths
in water, using the familiar bulb glasses
made for that purpose. Let the bottom
of the bulb just touch the water, and
change the water when it becomes dis
coored. The bulbs should be set away
in the cellar, as is recommended when
grown in earth.
Hyacinths require an even temperature
of from sixty-fve to seventy degrees, and
after being keptin seclusion until rooted,
need plenty OF water, light and air.
Other bulbs that may be grown like
the hyacnth in either earth or water are
the crocus, polyanthus, narcissus and
narcissus trumpet major. Tulips do well
in pots, but cannot be grown in water.
