sect have been principally studied, it is
single brooded, but as we have received
the insect in all its stages during this
month, we strongly suspect that it is
double brooded in this State. In order
to ascertain the exact localities where
in this insect occurs within the State,
correspondence to this end is invited.
Although this insect is a serious pest
in that it will defoliage elm trees in
very short time, yet it is easily killed
by spraying the trees attacked by So
luton Of paris green. Use at the rate
of ono pound Of the paris green to 200
gallons of water, or a teaspoonful to a
common water pail. The application is
best applied by means of a hand spray
pump, such as shown in Fig. l., various
styles of which are for sale by the man
ufacturers OF spraying machines, and
which have been from time TO time
spoken of in the Station bulletins. On
small trees the inspects are readily
shaken to the ground by iarring and

The Great Elm Leaf Beetle.

This insect is attracting considerable
attention in the central portion of the
State, particularly at Jackson and vi
cinity. Last year we received reports
Of tho damage done by this insect from
Westside, where it has occurred for sew
eral years. The beetle seems to be
spreading rapidly, and whore it occurs
should receive prompt treatment to pre-
vent its spread so far as possible. AS a
rule this insect is not common, but in
some years has done marked damage in
Missouri and Virginia. 1t should be
called THE Great Emil Leaf Beetle" to
distinguish it from smaller and SINH
lar beetle which also feeds upon the
elm and occurs in large numbers along
the Atlantic Coast and known as Tho
Imported Elm Leaf Beetle"
The eggs Of this beetle are laid in
compact clusters on the underside Of
the leaves, each cluster being composed
Of about % eggs and resembling a yell
low raspberry. When young the larvae
eat onl Y the green portion OF the leaves,
leaving the vein net work, but when older
the entire leaf is also sometimes eaten.

Last month the Station announced
that it had supply of seed of the
"Hairy Vetch" which would be dis
tributed free to those who desired to
give it trial. Calls for the seed were
more numerous than we had expected
and the supply is now exhausted, SO
that no more can be distributed during
the present season. En-

The gain in butt'r was even greater in
proportion than in the milk, as it was
the richest part Of the milk which tho
poorer workman failed to get.

Stored Grain Insects.

An important item just at this season
is the subject of insects injurious to
stored grain. Although there are many
species of these the most important is
the weevil, which is very widely dis
.r.buted throughout tho South. Tho
waevls spend most Of the year within
stored grain, but in the fall. when the
supply OF grain gets low, they escape to
the fields and begin their work there.
Being gathered with tho grain in many
cases they return to the same cribs from
which they escaped to the fields. Loss
OF corn or other grain through damage
by weevils is entirely unnecessary an
easily avoided. We have experimental
at the Station somewhat largely with
chinaberries, jimson weed and like
substances which are said TO be 'sure
cures" but our experience has been
that such substances have but little II
any effect. What is wanted is some
thing that will kill tho insects and thus
lenen their number rather than some
thing that may temporarily keep them

officials, has been quietly ferreting out the

been incompetency, drunkenness. bad

but the discharged employees had no re-

of the men discharged were released be-
cause they are members of the brother

who are not discharged for good and suffi-

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 20.-Onicials q the
Wisconsin Central in Milwaukee received
Information 1t IL o'clock last night that
train No. 2, which left St. Paul at o'clock
st night, was held up by train robbers
three miles north Of Waupaca. The rob
bers ditcned the engine and several cars
by placing ties on the track. One OF the
robbers tagged the train, but before IL
could be brought to . standstill the OBJ
struction was struck For over an hour
the robbers assaulted the American Ex-
press company safe with dynamite, nearly
wrecking the overturned baggage and ex

gers or train crew. The messenger was
covered with q revolver, after the door
had been blown OF, by a masked man, ~
were the engineer and hremen, who
jumped of the engine when they saw the
obstruction.
Twelve attempts were made to blow
open the safe-at least that number of
sticks of dynamite were exploded under
it-and the passengers occupying two
sleeping cars were in a demOralized state
They were awakened by the jolt to the
train caused by the ditching OF the engine
and forward cars, and some of them VINO
stuck they heads out of the windows drew
them in quickly, as bullets began to ny
from masked desporado's revolver. The
cannonading in the express car made
frightful noise, and IL was distinctly heard
at Waupaca. Bullets were fired into
every car on the train, and one woman
was hit by apiece Of glass from shattered
window. The robbers made no attempt
TO enter the passenger cars.
Sheriff Peterson, of Waupaca, was on
the train at the time of the hold-up, and
he at once organized a posse of twelve
men and they are now in pursuit. Two
Of the robbers can be identified, as they
made no attempt to conceal their faces.
The officials of the road in this city were
notified of the robbery by ID. Miller flag

CHICAGO, Sept 24-The great national
convention Of Irish societies was opened
An the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION hall this morning with large
representation Of Irishmen from all parts
Of the country. 1t Is estimated that 800
delegates will be In attendance before
business is well under way. The conven-
ton will last three days One general
object is the formation of united open

ton, unless such means be deemed alb

1t is believed the convention will serve
to revive interest and infuse new life into
the Irish cause, both in America and

being aroused by the fact that among the
fifty delegates from New York city are

his fellow conspirators that even James

cibles," knew him only as Number One"
Rosa Weli-Known Dynamiter.
Carey, however, when he became an in
former, made il necessary for lyman to
come to ts>is country. During the year
following the demonstrations lyman was
a member of the Middleset volunteers, a
crack London corps and was one Of the
men picked to escort the queen TO the
opening of the new royal courts on the
strand. Rosa is well known for his dyna-
mite campaigns. He was, IL Is claimed by
friends among the delegates, most inhu-
manly treated while in an English prison
on thirty years sentence for his connec-
ton with the Fenian movement, being
obliged to lap up his food while his hands
were tired behind his back. He has lately
visited England, the term Of his sentence
having expired. Rosa and lyman are
staying at McCoy's hotel, the official head
quarters.
One Purpose of the Meeting.
A sensation has been created by the an
nouncement that the convention among
other things, will consider the case of the
