FIRE ALARn BOXES.

The fire department has located the
fire alarm boxes, and they are spread
about where the most property can
the most easily reach them. They
are located on corners, and a key will
be left with each house on the corner.
The boxes are so numbered that as
more boxes are added they can be
given intermediate numbers.
The first figure in each number in
dicateS the ward in which the fire IS,
according to the old boundaries. The
bell will repeat the number four
times when an alarm is given.
Thus the number twenty
nine would be given thus:-two
strokes and an internission of four
seconds, and then nine strokes. This
will be repeated four times. The
boxes will be located by Sept. 1st. 1t
is not likely that any change will be
made in the following list of loca-
tions:
12-Cor. Front and Elm.
14-Cor. Second and Vine.
16-Cor. Fifth and Rock.
19-Cor. Third and Washington.
25-Cor. Front and Plum.
27-Cor. Third and Walnut.
29-Cor. Fifth and Main
32-Cor. Fifth and Jackson.
35-Cor. Front and Cherry.

If the first lot of infected bugs do


not seem to work, more should be Sc
cured, and the fields should be repeat
edly treated. The bugs cannot be-
destroyed without work. Prof. Lug
ger states that the infection will
spread from field to field, although
not located continuously, and often
spreads for miles. 1t is fungus
growth that is borne on the wind,
and infects the bug by lighting upon
it. The disease does not show out
Wardly at first, except that the bug
moves slower and refuses to eat.
Afterwards white fungus growth
appears on the aouter surface of the
bug.
Prof. Lugger expressed no doubt
but that the disease would destroy
the bugs, if the weather should be
favorable for the spread of the dis
ease, but otherwise he thought the
Infection very uncertain. He thought
that in Kansas too much is claimed
for it.
Six years ago Prof. Lugger discov-
cred large quantity Of chinch bugs
dead and coated white, and he hap
pened to remember reading of the dis
covery of a fatal chinch bug disease
first made known some sixty years
ago. He concluded that this must be
the result of that disease, and thought
that it might be made OF use, and be-
gan to make experiments. The
weather was unusually favorable and
he spread it from the car windows.
Inquiries proved that it destroyed all
the chinch bugs along the line of the
railroad and in belt fifteen or twenty
miles wide. Since then he has made
experiments every year with success
varying with the conditions. He said
that the letters which he received
last summer after his visit to this
county showed that the disease had
worked well here then. He is enthu-
siastic and will spare no effort to help
the farmers in their struggle against
this visitation of insect pests. He
has established infection boxes at
New Ulm and Rochester.
Prof. Lugger gave receipts for bugs
to thirty farmers this forenoon. Some
farmers came in with only half a
dozen bugs, but he refused to give a
receipt for less than a hundred bugs.
He said that not enough bugs were
brought in, but he expects the farm
ers to bring in larger quantities next
week. He said that when the inte-
rior of the infection box becomes COW
cred with spores the bugs will take
the disease very quickly, whereas now
it requires several days.
At Rochester the chinch bug dis
ease has been known Of and used for
three years, yet more farmers
met him here than was the case in
that city.
G. II. Piper suggested that different
farmers in the county start these in
lection boxes, and said that he would
for one. This would save the trouble
of going so far. Prof. Lugger states
that this is good plan. Anyone can
make the box, and the disease is
harmless to any other insect than
chinch bugs. In order to do this sue
cessfully, the directions given Mr..
Palmer, at the big mill, would have
to be infinitely followed out.
At 400 o'clock this afternoon 65 re-
ceipts for bugs had been given to as
many farmers.

Work was not resumed at once, but later
in the day the men returned. Informations
