Master OF State Grange.
(Whig & Courier. }

In the re election of Hon. Edward
Wiggin as worthy master the State
Grange has recognized in fitting man
ner the Intelligent and untiring efforts of
an able officer. Mr., Wiggln has mani
tested interchangeable zeal not only in pro-
noting the numerical strength of the
order, but in furthering its every interest
since he has been at its head. That his
efforts are appreciated by the members of
the order is shown by his e-election by
so large vote over other strong aspirants

Piled an average of 800 farmers, giving
. total of $4,000, with 5000 more from
the central station, or 90, 900 altogether.
About 5000 made written reports Of
last years work and So per cent. were
favorable, showing an immense saving
to crops by the use of the infection.
A field near the laboratory gave the
station an opportunity to gather 1000
boxes of sporNtrichum as a reserve
stock for early distribution for use in
the wheat fields this spring and sum-
mer. Most of these came into central
Kansas and did good work. Expert
ments made last fall in injecting chinch
bugs with artificial culture of sporo-
tiehum showed equal results with the
ordinary method of injecting bugs, and
1T is a great advantage in supplying
farmers early in the spring with the
necessary amount of infected bugs Ex-
periments are being tried of spreading
infection by the spraying OF sprouting
spores, and if successful it is possible
that infection may prove successful in
dry weather. This has been the great
est impeachment to complete success in
experiments up to the present time.
The corn crop is one on which the
farmers place the most reliance, and it
IS at present in condition to promise q
magnificent yield. But if the bugs are
to be allowed to roam from the fields of
wheat in to those of corn and lop off
half dozen or more rows on each side,
1t means tremendous loss in the ag
gregate. The little creatures work
with an army-like regularity and &C
complish devastation as extensive as
1t is serious. The fight to save the
fields is important as well as interesting.

COATING COTTON WITH SILK.


- Il
on Textile Fabrics
A great deal of tableware is made OF
I'D alloy containing copper, zinc and
nickel, plated with silver Similarly,
it has now been found practicable to
give silk coating to cotton and linen
fabrics, thus imparting to the goods
beautiful luster and a soft feeling not
found in the untreated material The
silk used for the purpose is waste that
could not be devoted to any other
services.
A French publication, the "Moniteur
de la Teinture," recently described the
apparatus and process required for
this work. The solid framework of all
vegeta BILE fiber is composed mainly OF
a chemical compound. called cellulose.
ANY cellulose tissue may be treated
successfully by this system. The yarn
or woven goods is first run through
bath of strong sulphuric acid or caustid
potash If there be any animal fiber
bath is prefera BILE. BY COMPRISING
the material with rollers the air is
forced out of the pores, and the liquid
is more readily absorbed. Then, after
going through washing machine,
the cloth is dried under tension to
keep it from creasing. The tissue
has now only been freed from
certain impurities and become whittier.
but its nature has been slightly modi-
fed. Another bath is prepared, in
which silk waste has been dissolved.
The liquid used for this purpose is
solution of very pure hydrated oxide
of copper or nickel in ammonia, al
though here again an acid may be used
instead of an alkali. Special provision
is made through water-jackets, for
keeping all these liquids cool. The
tempera ture must be maintained at or
below forty five degrees Fahrenheit.
At length the goods to be coated are
run through the silk solution, and
squeezed as before to exclude air and
absorb the liquid. The silk thus pene.
trates all through the cellulose. In
the next drying the cloth loses the am
moHia, which is carefully recovered in
the form of vapor, condensed and used
again. The material is therefore
soaked in a weak solution of an acid
having a special affinity for that metal,
and forming Herewith a salt which
easily dissolves. After fresh washing,
then, the cellulose is left with a coat.

first coat is not as thick as is desired,
a second and third may be applied,
and then the silk-tissues are mechanic.
ally finished by beetling, calendering,
brushing, polishing and pressing. If
any dye is to be impaired to the goods.
it is used just before they are immersed
in the silk solution. Y. Tribune.

FIGHTING THE BUGS
Prairie Farmers Adopt Unique
Tactics Against the Pests
lid Grasshopper Times Brought Forci-
bly, to Mind Again-The Trouble
some Insects Captured BY
the BusheI

The dry weather which succeeded tho
early rains has brought cut the prairie
farmers enemy, the chinch bug, in full
force again. AS the wheat has been
cut, the bugs have gone into the corn
fields, and in many sections of central
Kansas are doing damage again. The
schemes evolved by the settlers for the
destruction of the tiny insects which
are so harmful, says the st. Eouis
Globe-Democrat, are alike ingenious
and effective-the only difficulty being
the overwhelming numbers of the
pests. When millions on millions in
fest every square rod, there is little
hope for effectual determination.
The farmers are. among other things.
reviving the plans of the old grasshop-
per days, and are using coal oil or kero-
sene with more or less success. The
scheme includes long trench, reach
ing across the edge of the field which
it is proposed to protect. At intervals
are sunken cans, covered by cone
shaped piles of dirt with hole at the
top. The bugs follow the trench and
pour in stream into the cans. AT the
bottom of the cans is coal oil, which
serves both to kill the creatures and
make them ,infammable. A torch
touched to each produces mimic vol

a temporary one to bridge over short
spell of dry weather, as the expense is
too great to allow of protecting any
large territory.
The larger portion of the farmers
continue to have faith in the bacilli OF
Chancellor Shows discovery. and thou
sands of boxes Of bugs are being sent
to the state university to exchange for
infected insects that may spread dis
ease and dea tn among the fields. Some
counties have esta blished stations, in
charge of experienced men, at a cost of
$50 to 500 month, to propagate the
disease and furnish the bugs to the
farmers at home.
During the past few months 5000
packages of infection have been sent
out to the individual farmers of Kan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma. In addi-
tion, fifty auxiliary distributing sta
tons were established in Kansas and
Missouri, thirty-eight in Kansas and
twelve in Missouri. The demand for
infection from southern Kansas has
materially decreased recently, which is
aid to be the result of the disappear
ance of bugs In the sections where in
lection was used extensively soon
after its discovery. In 1898 there were
1,3OS applications from individual farm
ers and last year only 1914, figure not
likely to be exceeded this season. The

FASHION IN OLD JERUSALEM

The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
geonsly Arrayed, Indeed.
As far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gay
ly dressed women in Jerusalem. The
prophet Ezekieal tells of them. They
had garments of silk adorned with
broidered work; their bodies were
swathed in fine linen; they had shoes
of badger skin. They wore ornaments
of gold and silver, rings in the ears,
bracelets ON the wrists, chain around
the neck, a jewel over the brow and a
crown upon the head.
The prophet speaks of the earrings
which were worn by the women of
Jerusalem; but these ornaments were
worn by Jewesses ages before the time
of Ezekiel, even in the days of Moses,
and earlier yet There were earrings
among the other gifts in the oblation
given to Moses, as described in the
Book of Numbers. The first Biblical
reference to them is in the part of Gen.
esis which tells how Rebekah obtained
as a gift golden earring of half a
shekel weight" from Abrahams serv.
ant, who put it upon her face" At a
later period the patriarch Jacob pro-
cured all the earrings which belonged
10 his household and hid them under
an oak tree. subsequently to that time
earrings are frequently spoken of in
the Bible. Even job, the patient man
of Uz, must have owned lot of them
in the latter part of his life, for when
all his brethren and all his sisters and
all his acquaintance came to comfort
him under his Affections, every one Of
them gave him an earring of gold"
In the very early periods of Jewish
history women seemed to have been as
fond of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times When the dauch.
ters of Jerusalem were apparelled and
bejewelled in the way described bv
Ezekiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand danes who now
shine in society. The wearing of
divers colors," however, does no.
seem to have been mark of honor.
