Adult chinch bug enlarged the line below natur-
al size].
The only feasible method to kill large
numbers of chinch bugs is a disease
known to kill them. Those who have
observed the common house flies late in
September will have noticed that very
frequently the window-panes are covered
with dead flies surrounded by an irregu-
lar ring of white dust. This dust is
composed of spores or seeds of micros-
copic plant which grew inside the dead
fly. If healthy fly comes in contact
with such spores they will adhere, and
growing, soon enter another fly, which
in turn is killed in very few days, this
time depending upon certain conditions
of the air. The disease utilized to de-
stroy chinch bugs is of similar nature,
and can be readily multiplied in boxes
constructed for this purpose. Of course
no one should believe that this remedy
is always certain one. So long as we
can control suitable conditions, such as
cold moisture, absence of sunlight, etc,
just that long we can make the disease
work to our satisfaction. But as soon as
we put the diseased bugs in the field, we
lose this control, and have to take the
weather just as it comes. If we have
rain at suitable intervals the disease will
spread very rapidly and over large area ;
if the weather is hot and dry the chlnch
bug will sRicker at our effects, and their
numbers will not begreatly reduced. But
at all cvents.many will die, and as there
are SO many things in favor of the farm
er an attempt upon large scale should
be made.
To breed disease of this kind IN q
large scale lots Of healthy bugs are re-
quired. as without them the work will
be vain. utilize the pages of this pap-

outer rows of the corn the individuals
are so tired and hungry that they all Try
to obtain their food from the first few
rows of plants which soon bend under
their weight. Soon afterward, when all
are winged, they search for shelters for
the winter and rest from their summers
work.
Such is in broad lines the life history
of the chinch bug. From it farmers
ought to learn two facts: 1st, Clean farm
ing is to great extent prevention. All
rubbish should lie raked together late in
the fall or early in spring sboald be
burned. In doing SO many bugs will be
destroyed, and those that are not actual
ly burned will be expbsed to snow and
rain and will perish. This is owing to
the fact that during the cold periods the
bugs are unable to move to any extent,
and if forcibly exposed are unable to
find new shelter. I'd. When the bugs
march from the devastated fields to new
pastures in the corn they do not use
their wings, though many possess them
Young and old march together, and the
observant farmer will soon detect them.
Now is the time to do some good work.
AS the bugs usually march all in the
same direction they can be readily cap
tured. One of the best ways is to plough
a deep furrow. Next it is necessary to
make the sides of the furrow as loose as
possible. This is done by dragging
bundle of twigs repeatedly through the
furrow. AS soon as few collect IN it
they prevent each other from reaching
the opposite side, as each will try to OBJ
tain hold upon the other and all tum-
bic back. By burning from time to
time dry straw in such burrows the bugs
will be killed by the million. If farmers
would recollect that one-half of these
bugs are females, and that each of them
can depo:it from forty to eighty eggs,
they will realize the Importance of kill
Ing as many as possible. Chinch bugs
are lovers of dry and warm places. Well
cultivated and manured fields in which
the plants have started early enough to
thoroughly shade the ground, are avoid
ed; fields with weak plants or where the
soil can be heated by the sun are preferred
A great number of methods have been
employed to kill chlnch bugs, but as all
require considerable labor, none, or very
few, are ever put in practice. We can
not poison the ougs, simply because they
have no mouth to chew their food To
use external peisons would cost much
more time, labor and material than the
crops to he saved would be worth.
