Thrashing Grain.

The modern thrashing outfit leaves
nothing to be desired, but there are a
few useful hints which may be of assist
ance. Sufficient help should be employ
ed that the grain may be delivered to
the machine in a steady stream and in
ample quantities. It is fact that in
every section are farmers who are noted
for being short of help at thrashing
time. The men are consequently over
worked. The thrashers are dissatisfied
because they cannot make the usual prog
ress, and sourness prevails on all sides
because one man desires to economize to
the extent of so or $3. The fact is that
he loses many times that sum, for men
thus imposed upon will shirk their duty
in more ways than one.
The farmer who raises several vari-
cites of grain should, if he desires to
keep the seed pure, take pains and thor
oughly sweep the floor when changing
from one variety to another. Ii one has
been oonsiderate, the ripest and best de-
veloped portion Of the grain was SC
placed in certain part of the building
Or SO located by placing little hay OF
other fodder between it and the main
crop that the pitchers could distinguish
it and inform the one who carries il
away that it may be deposited separately
and used for seed
The great prevalence Of foul stuff
should cause the careful farmer to use
extra precaution in having the thrash
ing apparatus thoroughly cleaned before
coming upon the premises after having
thrashed grain for neighbor Whose
grain is known to contain foul weeds,
This is one source of danger that but
few of even the careful farmers have
ever seriously onsidered.-Americar

some Insects Injurious to Souash. Melon
and Cucumber vines-Asparaeus Beetle.
A bulletin from the New Jerrey
state experiment station reports investi-
cations made last season in localities
where the insects were inflicting most
damages. Following are extracts of gen
gal interest: The squash bug was un-
usually injurious, and experiments were
made with carbon bisulphide, pyrethrum
powder and kerosene emulsion for its
destruction. Pyrethrum was found to
be Of no avail ind the other insecticides
of but little use. Cleaning the fields of
rubbish and plowing in the fall are rec
commended, and in addition distributing
bits Of boards, chips, leaves and the
like underneath the vines, where the
bugs will gather during the day and
may be easily captured and killed. Pick
ing the adult bugs from the vines in the
early spring is also advised.
The squash vine borer inflicted more
damage than any other of the insects
noted. Cutting out the borers as soon as
the vines begin to show signs of injury
and covering the bases Of the vines with
earth as far as the third or fourth joint
are suggested, and also capturing and
killing the moths, which may be found
sluggishly sitting on the leaves in the
evening and early morning.
Against the stri ed cucumber beetle
it is suggested that the hills be protect
ed by covering them with screens or
nettings Of some kind until the vines
have acquired strong growth and
spraying with the arsenites or dusting on
tobacco dust, air Stacked lime or mix
ture of arsenites and plaster after the
beetles have begun their attacks.
Spraying with arsenites is recommend
ed for the boreal ladybird.
Kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap
suds is advised against the melon louse
and picking and destroying the affected
leaves
Against the asparagus beetle apply
ing lime to the affected beds is recon-
mended, and also cutting and buraing
the old stalks each fall and the young
seedlings in the spring. 1t is also sug-
gested that chickens be allowed to run

The next address was novel and in

Study-Methods and Results - by Prof.
E. W. Scripture of Yale University A
stereoption was used in illustrating.
Prof. Scripture said the aim of the
science of child study was to determine
the laws according to which children
grow, how their bodily conditions deve-
lop under different conditions of eli
mate, latitude, surroundings, ETC.
The unscientific method of child study
is simple. 1t records observations of chill
dren, memories of childhood DAYS. etc.
The records of thoughts and reasonings
of children are there classified, and de-
ductions are made as to the operations
of the child's mind.
The semi-scientific style of study of
children is illustrated by the work of
Prof. Barnes of California. He had the
little poem of Johnny Looking in the
Air." printed and sent out to MANY
The Portland daily press., 1895-07-11

schools in America, with the request
that it be read to the scholars and then
that they be requested to draw pictures
illustrating it. In the poem three catas-
trophies happen to Johnny. He tumbles
over dog, falls into the river ETC. But
strange to say, the children did not draw
the catastrophes, but rather the scenes
just before the catastrophe happened An
ticipation rather than realization was
the rule. Thus was developed principal
of child thought.
Prof Scripture then turned to the
scientific method of child study This
has become science of itself, and most
interesting one, with great variety of
delicate ssand ingenious apparatus for de-
termining the qualities of the mind. An
illustration will show one kind of infor-
nation obtained. Prof. Scripture wished
to know if the mind could make the
two hands of a pianist strike the piano
at the same instant. The Yale professor
Of music said he could strike simultane-

were cutting up some caper with the

When they saw him they ran away, but
not until he had positively recognized one
of them. The COW had been so roughly han
