SQUIRREL WIT.

now a Chipmunk Took Advantage OF Hia
Opportunity.
The attribute of reason is often de-
MED to all creatures except man: but a
correspondent recently observed a chip
munk displaying a degree of intelli-
gence that seemed to exceed anything
properly covered by the word instinct.
/ was visiting a farmer and had gone
with him to the middle of field, where
he was planting corn. A mischies Gus
horse in the adjoining pasture attempt
ed to get some of the seed corn, and in
reaching over the fence for that pur.
pose overturned a bag of seed.
We hurried to the spot and found that
a chipmuuk had already began to
gather the scattered grains. He was
very busy, and his conduct showed that
he understood the situation thoroughly.
The treasure would be within his reach
for n very short time; so, instead Of fill-
ing his pouches and hurrying TO his
burrow, he set about hiding as much as
possible of the corn within few yards
of where it had been spilled.
A piece of bark, chip or a sod served
as a temporary hiding-place, and in q
short time he had gathered all the grain
that the farmer could not conveniently
collect, and began to transport it to his
permanent granary. I noticed several
places where he had put q mouthful,
and found afterward that he did not
overlook any Of them when removing
the spoil to his storehouse.-Youth's

Here, as in Indiana, there was a pro-
gressive increase in every national cleo
tlon up to the last, when there vas an
immense falling off, notwithstanding
the fact that the natural growth of
population should have swelled the
normal republican vote about : per
cent This contrast is more striking
when compared with Cleveland's in
crease from 635, 965 votes in the state
four years ago to 653, 900 this year.
What is the lesson?
Is not the showing one for serious
ans?
1t cannot be explained away, as it
might in such states as Ohio, on the
ground OF overconfdence. The simple
fact stands out that in those states
where the battle was fought and the
squarest test made the republican
party. on candidates and issues OF its
own choosing, for the first time since
its found alton. falls back behind its po-
sition of the preceding four years The
inference is certainly strong that it has
reached the summit of its career. and
is going down the hill; that its mission
is fulfilled and its natural decay begun.
1t may in the future, reorganized on
new issues, find q new career. In that
case it win be the republican party
only in name. There is certainly
nothing in the present or in the inn
mediate past to indicate that the repub
lican party of Lincoln-its work done
and the republican party of Harrison
its work rejected-is not obsolete

The beetle, b. the same length and is
brownish- black color. club-shaped
antennse and light reddish brown wing
domen. This beetle is very common
late in summer and autumn, and espe-
cially attacks the ears of corn which
have been previously injured. 1t is
most common in the field but is also
found in stored corn during winter.
So far it has not proved very injurious
as it generally feeds upon the dry decay
ing kernels at the outer extremity of
the ear. The best remedy for grain in
sects that has yet been discovered is
bisulphide of carbon. This can be ap-
piled several ways, and should be done
when the grain is put in the bins. 1t
can be placed on top of the bin and be
allowed to evaporate. Being heavier
than air it will go down through the
grain. Another method is to tie cotton
on stick of such length that it can be
plunged into the middle of the bin.
Pour the bisulphide on the cotton and
push it into the grain. Still another
method is by means of long tube or
piece of pipe in which is tight fitting
rod. Push one end of the tube into the
center of the grain. withdraw the rod,
pour the bisulphide down the tube,
after which the tube may be with
drawn. If tight fitting rod cannot be
obtained plug can be put into one end
of the tube and after this end has been
pushed into the grain the plug can
be loosened with rod or stick.
The bisuIphide is then poured in
as before. The object of getting it
in the center is to secure as even a dis
tribution as possible. In wheat, oats
and shelled corn, the last two methods
of treatment are excellent as the ball
of cotton containing the charge of BIZ
su1phide or the tube can be very read
lily placed near the center of the grain.
Corn not shelled however is best treat
ed by putting the bisulphide in an open
dish or sprinkling it over the top of the
heap. The amount of bisulpbide used
will vary with the ti9htness of bin. As
q rule one ounce to one hundred pounds
of grain is sufficient. The cost of the
bisulphide when bought direct from
the manufacturer is ten cents per
pound for fifty-pound cans. It can be
obtained at drug stores for from twen-
ty to twenty-five cents per pound, but,
as it should be kept on hand, obtaining
it direct from the manufacturer will be
much cheaper. To destroy insects in
grain in mills, quantities Of the bisul-
phide can be placed in dishes in various
elevated places. Bisulphide being high
~ explosive it is essential that no
matches, lamps or fire be around until
the fumes pass away, as they soon do.
in spring the insects in the empty or
nearly empty granaries should be
killed by means of the bisulphide or
kerosene applied with a force pump or
watering can. which will decrease the
damage the following autumn and win.

MARvELS OF INSTINCT.

Wonderful Adaptsbility OF Animals to
Their Circumstances.
Did you ever stop to consider the mar
vels of instinct as exhibited in insects,
birds and animals? Take the solitary
wasp. the ''mud-dauber," if you please.
as an illustration of instructive sense
which seems to me to be equally as de-
sirable as mind and reason. In provid-
ing for the maggot or worm that is to
be Matched from her egg, this lowly in
sect brings soft spiders and grubs, q
species of food which she has never
tasted since she became a wasp, and de-
posits them directly OYER the eggs from
which the children she is doomed to
never see will finally issue. What in
ward sense of motherly duty tells tn is
creature that her scon-to-be motherless
children will need a meatfoot during
the time they are preparing for their
first transformation? Yet the life his
tory of every species of insect shows
wonderful exhibitions of instinct or
marvellous foresight The butterfly
lays her eggs on the plants best calcu-
lated to furnish food for the grub that
will hatch from them: the seventeen
year locust, Cicade septemdecem. lays
it's eggs in holes bored in the ends of
limbs, the boring always, or nearly
always, being done in such a manner as
to cause the limb to break off with the
first wind. thus bringing the insect
into immediate contact with the earth,
his future home, as soon as he is
Matched. The young chicken is another
good illustration of the masvels
of instinct. In releasing himself
from the shell he does not do SO by
bursting the prison walls asunder, as
many persons imagine: on the contrary
he cuts his way out by a regular series
of strokes. For this cutting operation
the bird has an instrument specially
provided, an instrument for which
there is no other earthly use-a sharp,
hard. toothlike horn on the top of the
upper mandible. This cutter, having
served it's purpose, wholly disappears
within few days. Isn't it wonderful
how a bird in an eggshell, one that has
never breathed the breath of life in the
true sense of the word, understands
the use of an instrument that will soon
become useless to it, and how that
marvellous faculty called instinct di-
reefs the imprisoned creature how and
where to cut in order to most easily
and effectually free itself?-St- Louis

STORED GRAIN INSECTS.

Description and Habits of the ParasiteA
and How to Destroy Them.
Bulletin No. Il, Mississippi expert
ment station, gives detailed report on
the most common and destructive in
sects affecting grain in the biz or crib.
with list of remedial measures which
have been tried with more or less sue
cess The bulletin says: Among the
insects injurious to grain is the Angou-
mois grain moth Gig. IL It attacks
wheat and corn principally. The larva,
q. is light in color, and measures about
one-fourth of an inch in length when
full grown. The pupa, b. is neerly one
fourth of an inch long. The mature
insect, c, is a small moth; d is wing
of paler variety; e. egg; +, corn, show
ing damage by larva; z, labial palpus
of male moth; h. anal segment of pupa-
The eggs are either laid on the stand
ing grain in the field or after it has
been stored in the bin. When depos-
tied on corn they are generally placed
under the thin membrane at the base
of the seed They are also laid in
grooves or depressions in the seed,
singly as rule, bnt sometimes in clus-
tiers. The number of annual genera
tions vary according TO temperature.
In warm weather it takes but a month
to pass from the egg to the moth. The
insects reproduce SO rapidly, it takes
but short time to destroy grain when
stored. The nutritious portion of the
seed is eaten and only the she'll re-
mains Fig. 2 represents an ear of
corn, showing damage done by the
Angoumois grain moth. Fig. is
parasite of the Angoumois moth
(Pteromalis gelechie), which at
tacks the larva of this moth
and does immense good in keeping
it in check. The parasite is a small,
black. fly-like insect, with four trans
parent wings. The male, a, is shorter
than the female: is less than one-tenth
of an inch long; shows posterior leg
with dusky femora Fig. is the
corn sap-beetle. (Carpophilus pallipen-
nis.) It gets its name from the fact that
it enters fruit which has been previous
ly injured by other insects. The larva.
a, is about one-seventh of an inch long.
