viding we brins the spores in con
tact with them. To do so various
methods have been adopted, of which
the best u is to mix and shake the
spores growing upon the artificial food

bugs. 1t these are very much scat

weakened condition the spores Should
be applied rs soon rs possible. Many
farmers fail to find the bugs in their
fields. or have not taken the trouble
to search for them. Is nc damage to
the growing crops is visible, vet the
bugs are still with them in large num-
bers, mating and depositing their eggs
for the destructive brood which will
appear a little later. The favorable
season has simply retarded the bugs

but little doubt that the small grains
will mature before the bugs become
numerous and powerful enough to
cause much damage. But the DANCE,

should do his best to kill as many OF

Portable Things.

Nothing on a farm pays 80 we'll as
the portable things; q few lengths of
portable fence, a portable chicken coop
and yard where the hens have. to be
kept close, a portable pig pen or calf
yard, are all much more desirable in
every way than stationary enclosures.
We have seen a small pig pen stand
in one filthy unwholesome place all
summer, just because the corner posts
were stuck in the ground, when it
would have been better for the health
of the pig, saved chores and a good
deal of feed If the pen had been made
loose from the ground and susceptible
of being moved. Some people are so
thoughtlcss that they do not even
move the pens and yards that are
movable.
Not long ago we came across n Of
these pens in which the poor pig had
been so long that there was nothing
but dry mud and filth for him to move
around in. With one light lift we put
| the pen on to clean grass and weeds
and the happy pig was SO delighted
that lie actually hoped up and down,
| wiggled and ran about between every
mouthful of grass he took, and he took
them as fast as he could swallow.
Try these portable things and see
what comfort and profit they will
bring.

Atmospheric Electricity.

The belief that the formation Of
clouds is often accompanied by cleo
trical effects is confirmed by Prof.
Schuster, who describes an experience
in Switzerland. AS he was descend
ing from Dent Blanche after sunset he
found himself in a wide valley at q
height of about 1900 feet. A current
Of air vas apparently blowing up the
valley, and below him he observed the
formation of a cloud at a height a lit
tie below the o line. As night
came on, and the descent over the
glacier and down the valley was con-
tinued, a series Of electric discharges
were seen between the cloud, which
was lying in a deep-cut valley, the
sides Of the mountain, and the blue
sky overhead. The moist air was evil

Biggest Farm in the World.

The biggest farm in this country,
and probably in the world, is situated
in the southwestern part of Louisiana.
1t extends 100 miles north and south
and % miles east and west. 1t was
purchased in 1883 by a syndicate of
Northern capitalists, by whom it is
still operated. At the time of its pur-
chase it's 100000 acres was a vast
pasture for cattle belonging to a few
dealers in that country. Now it is d.
vided into pasture stations or ranches,
existing every six miles. The fencing
is said to have cost about $4,000. The
land is best adapted for rice, sugar,
corn and cotton. A tract, say half q
mile wide, is taken, and an engine is
placed ON each side. The engines are
portable, and operate a cable attached
to four plows. BY this means thirty
acres are gone over in a day with the
labor of only three men. There is not
a single draught horse on the entire
place, if we except those used by the
llerders of cattle, of which there are
10000 head on the place. The South
ern Pacific railway runs for thirty-six
miles through the farm. The company
has three steamboats, operating on the
estate. of which 300 miles are naviga.

ship yard ana rice mills.-Pittsburg

The Chinch hug disease.

During the last few years many x
periments have been made here and
elsewhere to utilize diseases for fight
ing some of onr most injurious. insects.
At the head of the large army Of nox-
ious insects stands the chinch bug,
and consequently especial attention
has been paid to it's destruction by
various diseases, but chiefly by Sporo-
trichum globuliforum, Spec. or the
Muscardine disease Of the chinch bug.
These experiments have shown that
under certain favorable conditions this
and similar diseases can be used with
excellent results, but that we should
not trust to them alone to exterminate
tho foe. To assist farmers in their
war against chinch bugs Bulletin No.
81 was prepared, which can be had
upon application to this station. In
sect was given, indicating the weak
done to kill the bugs. The bulletin
gives a full account of the various
methods of fighting the chinch bugs
and discusses also the application OF
the diseases for the same purpose
Since the above bulletin was prepared
the legislature of Minnesota, recog
nizing the importance OF this work
has made a liberal appropriation t,

munity. With a better equipment, in
Guiding numerous instruments an,

1t wasT'on a Sixth avenue elevated
train going up town, says the Detroit

which terminated in a knob got on ut
Franklin street and sat down beside
q little girl about five years Of age,
who was accompanied by a brother of
twelve. She was a sharp-eyed, hand
some child, and after Il few minutes
the red-nosed man felt his heart warm
up to her and said:
"Well, little girl, are you going
somewhere:"
She looked up but made no answer,
and after a minute he smiled more
biandly and continued:
"You are an awfully nice little girl,
and l wish l had some candy for you.
Is that your brothers"
"Say, mister!" called the boy as he
leaned forward, "you don't know much
about children, do you?"
"Yes, l know all about EN-

"Chances? What chances?'
"Why, If you get her to talking she
will up'n and ask you all about that

to give it away you'd better keep
still"
Six passengers on the opposite seal
began to grin at once, and the man
with the nose got up and solemnly
and stifiiy marched up the aisle and
opened the door and dropped into q
seat in the next car. He thought he
knew all about children, but that boy

HIS STAY UT JULY Fl.

And Hayward Must lei Another or
BE Hanged Then.
Minneapolis, July 1O.-There remain
now but two horns to the Hayward
dilemma; either the supreme court
must grant IN extension of the
thirty days stay, which expires July
81, or let the execution take place on
or before that date. Since the court
has adjourned formally, no argument
can be heard before Oct. 10. In the
meantime, there is practically no
doubt but that the extension will be
granted. The papers in the case are
now before the supreme bench, and
things will be in readiness at the
time court convenes for an early hear.

Hayward keeps up his spirits with
much apparent success and appears
as gay and happy as he always has
since his incarceration. He has been
given a gas Jet lately, by means of a
tube extending to a pipe on the out
side wall, which affords him an op-
portunity to read and write evenings

The Gutta-Percha supply,

Whatever electricity may eventually
prove to be-and electricians still
seem to be a long way from finding
Quit has some qualities about which
there is little doubt. One of these is
its readiness to take short cuts, and
run to ground" at the slightest OPP
portunity, instead Of continuing along
the conducting wire, and finishing the
work intended for it. The greatest
care has therefore to be taken in insu-
lating wire; that is, covering it with
some material which is q bad cOnduc-
tor of electricity and will prevent its
escape. From a badly insulated wire
the electricity will leak out just as
surely as water will leak out of a pipe
full Of holes. AS water is sometimes
used under very high pressure, so cleo
tricity is now employed, especially for
transmission over long distances. and
with the consequent heavy strain
comes the need for insulating material
of the highest efficiency. Gutta-percha
has been n Of the insulating main
stays of the electric engineer, but dis.
quieting rumors have been for some
time prevalent as to the coming fail
ure of the supply. Good news nov
comes from Sarawak. NJ. Hourant, a
French clutch merchant in that city,
has discovered that gutta-percha can
be extracted from the dried leaves OF
the dried leaves of the gutta tree. The
old native plan, which threatened to
ruin the industry, was to cut down q
tree to obtain the sap. A tree 30 years
of age would give only one "catty" OF
pure dry gutta; the same quantity ii
now obtained from two pluckings Ol
the leaves. These pluckings r SAID
not to injure the tree, which goes OF
seeding and reproducing its species
The million of trees already cut down
and apparently destroyed by the ma
tive gutta hunters, which nov com
into service as their stumps hav'
sprouted out much as an osier does
and although the shoots are too small
to produce gutta their leaves are q
good for the purpose as those of q
Nult tree.
