THE FARMING WORLD.
KANSAS CHINCH BUGS.
A Simple and Inexpensive Way OF Fight
in, tho Peat.

A Simple and inexpensive Way OF 1isht'
ing the Pest.
kansas agricultural correspond nt
says that lie has just saved 81 nsres
of splendid corn from the ravages0 OF
the .chinch bug by a very simple and
inexpensive expedient. On the east OF
his corntield, and separated from it by
a 16-foot lane, was a wheat field of 46
acres. Two or three days before cutting
he mixed salt and coal oil in a vessel,
putting from one-half pint to n of
coal oil to one-half bushel of salt. He
then made a line with this salt the whole
width of the ccrntield 900 rods through
the center of the 16-foot lane. The
line of salt was about 3 inches vide at
the base. He then bored he Y7with a
post anger about 3 rods apart, to a
depth of about 8 inches Or a foot. The
top of each hole was trimmed with a
knife leaving the mouth of the hole
funnel-shaped and smooth. AS soon
as the wheat was cut. about a quart of
water was poured into each hole, and
topped with a small quantity Of coal
Oil. The holes were on the side next
to the wheat field, and close to the
salt line. AS soon as the bugs meet
the salt line they follow it each way
until they come to the holes, into
which they tumble by the thousand. AS
the successful experimenter with this
simple trap describes it: They don't
crawl in the hole, but as soon as they
strike the smooth surface at the top
they lose their first hold and roll over;
and as there is a constant pressure
from the enormous line toward the
hole, they look like wheat going into
a hopper as they pour over the brink"
A boy should be in attendance on the
line, to dip out the dead bugs before
the hole becomes too full, and to re-
plenish the water and coal oil in the
holes when necessary. A little coal oil
should be poured on the line once a
day, and the line should be remade
after each rain. The mouth of the
hole should be kept smooth. If it is
dry and cracked, a handful of dust
should be sprinkled around the edges
occasionally. The bugs cannot cling
to it, and tumble in as soon as they

No Seeds for ConpresSmar

The usual general distribution of
seeds by the agricultural department
will not take place next year. An
opinion was given by Attorney Gener-
al olney some time ago that as the
law provided for furnishing rare
seeds for scientific purposes Secretary
Morton was not compelled to expend
the appropriation made in distributing
common seeds. Secretary Morton has
always opposed the general free-seed
distribution. which has become one of
the regular duties of the agricultural

A laxative Child Gives Away the Secret
Of His Fathers Hiding Place.
One of the most touching incidents
that occurred in Orkney In pressgang
times was in connection with the cap
ture of David Cromarty, Northhouse,
Deerness. He was sitting smoking one
day when his wife gave the alarm that
the pressgang was approaching. David
was prepared for such an eventuality.
and had so constructed the shelves of
a press that they came out on hinges
and gave sufficient room behind as a
hiding place. When the pressgang
entered the house, Mrs. Cromarty was
busily engaged at her spinning wheel,
and she put On such a bold front that
the constables began to suspect that
their man had made good his escape.
Her tbrSnyear-old child, David. was
playing at her feet on the floor, while
the pressgang was searching the
italian" and the .'peat-neuk'' for his
father; and the little fellow clapped
his hands in glee as he saw them GO
