Insurance on the Farm.

Garry an insurance ON the dwelling. the
barn and its contents, also upon the live
stock, wagons and tools
The vapor from barnfull of new hay
and grain is one Of the best conductors Of
lightning. The horses and cattle should
not be allowed TO remain out during a
haavy storm, unless in the woods. If
pesturing in field, they are very apt TO
huddle together under some tree. and the
heat from their bodies will attract the
lightning.
Sheep, when heavy storm Is approach
ing, win run Cor stack or tree and bunch
up.
Place an insurance, If there is none, in
some reliable home company, about two
thirds the value Of the buildings, contents.
wagons and all the live stock upon the
place. After insuring, be none the less
careful To avoid fires BY allowing no smok
ing round the buildings, having a secure
lantern. and keeping the stock, if possible
in the barn when thunder is nigh
Barbed wire viii carry lightning a long
distance Cattle resting against a wire
fence are liable to be struck. An insur-
ance Of two or three thousand dollars will
cost but few dollars per year, and the
peace of mind from knowing that You have
one is worth many times more than it costs.
The insurance companies should offer
an extra inducement for those who are ex-
traordinarily careful with their buildings
aud stock.
The practice of placing several hay or
grain stacks in q field together is bad
one They should be scattered here and
there over the field, then, in case of one
being struck by lightning, only that one
win be destroyed, aud not the entire lot.
as Is now often the case You can scarce
" pick up paper but you read of heavy
losses oecasioned by lightning in the farm
ing districts. With forethought and a
little extra care. much of this lass may be
avoided

The Original Reaper.

\ few people may still be living who re
member that the Hussey Harvester was
made in .Hagerstown, Md. as early as
1887. Obed Hussey. the inventor who
lived at Cincinnati, appears to have come
here himself To give his personal attention
TO the manufacture of the machines, says
the Hagerstown Hsrdtd
In the issue Of the H-g,id of April 20
1887. appears an advertisement by Hussey
and report of The Board of the Mary
land Agricultural Society Of the Eastern
Shore on the machine IL recites that
the Beard had invited Mr. HuSsey to bring
one of the machines to Maryland, and gives
an account Of a public exhibition Of its
performance in the harvest field at Oxford,
Talbot county. on July l. 1896, and at
Easion ON july II. Ii was subsequently
taken to the farm Of Tench Tilghman
where 50 acres uf wheat, oats and barley
were cut with it. Three mules furnished
the motive power, and the report saws that
they worked ii with as much ease as if 1t
were drag harrow,
In its essential features the reaper has
changed but little since these exhibitions
were gwen in the harvest of 1896, and
the description Of the machine given by the
highly intelligent committee would pass Tor
description Of the reaper as it now exists
except that the self binder with its various
attachments has been added
The report Is signed by gentlemen who

The old city Of Georgetown. d. C.,
established by the General Assembly Of
MARYLAND in 1871, was ON August 10,
officially blotted cut BY the record upon the
beaks Of she surveyor Of the District Of the
new map Of that section, which deliueates
what was once Georgetown as a nameless
portion VI the city Of Washington. George
Town has had M autonomy since the estab-
lishment Of the District government, in
1871. and has been only geographical
expression Now however, no mention
nr the name of Georgetown or of its old
street names appears upon the official map.
This has been done under the act Of Con-
greSs of February !, 1898,
Georgetown was established 'aboye the
mouth If Rock creek, in Frederick county,
Md. at the tobacco warehouse there by
an act Of the General Assembly of Mary
land. passed the Sth of June, 1851, upon
land belonging TO George Gordon and
George Bell. and was named Georgetown
foF those gentlemen. Several additions
were afterward made by Beall, Deakins.
Hawkins and Others On Christmas Day,
1889. the General Assembly made George
town city, with mayor recorder, alder
men and common council This munich
pality continued until 1871, when the
District government succeeded all the mu
inequalities. For while the Georgetown
ordinances were enforced by the District
government in Georgetown, but later the
old Washington ordinances were declared
to supefsede the Georgetown laws. the
Washington street plan was extended 50 as
to abolish the Georgetown street names
and now every name OF Georgetown is
taken out of the District map.

Loading an Ocean Liner.
From Donahoe's Magazine.

TO watch the leading Of grain, either
from an elevator or Il lighter. into one OF
the mammoth vessels engaged in Its trans
pnrtation. is To witness one of the chef
operations in the movements of the world :
commerce 1t is carried in long pipes.
with a funnel shaped movable appendage
at the end. which is shifted by means of
a rope from one part of the hold to another,
according as the stream of grain fills up the
spaces reserved for it, The grain flows
into the vessel with the noise and velocity
of torrent and sends dense volume of
dust and chaf upward, obscuring the
depths beneath and making the men at
tending the stowage below look like ghosts
in the rising mist.
Tie trimming of the grain in the
holds Is an important part Of It's storage.
After several thousand bushels have been
streamed into the hold. q dozen or more
men are delegated to shovel the downpour-
i'm. column in between the vessel : beams,
job for which they are paid at the rate
of a cent minute. In vessels Of the
Cunard stripe it takes between ,, 600 and
| : uaG bushels to fill hold. and these yes
sels average 81. 900 bushels in the cargo.
Ships carrying grain alone can take as high
aS l25. 600 bushels. and when it Is con
sidered that from t. 600 To = 900 bushels
can be stored in an hour. every 10 bushels
weighing ton, an idea can be had of the
force Of the torrent directed into the YES
sci.
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and distinction is made in storing the
cargo in them. Grain, from its compact
and dead weight. Is reserved mostly for
the center of the vessel while cured pro
visions are packed as far forward and as
far aft a. possible. for their better preser-
walton from the heat Of ships fires. lu

Insects Friendly to Man.
From the New York rrihnne.


The lady bug, 50 quantity marked that

is one of the gardener best friends. vet
hundreds Of them are killed because people
in their ignorance don know what
helper they have in this pretty, buxom
little insect. A few days ago | visited a
friend who has garden full of all sorts of
flowers, and back of these is the kitchen
garden, with rows of currants and rasp-
berry bushes The leaves of both these
shrubs were covered with blight or lice that
were as green as the leaves on which they
lived and thrived Hunting about the
bushes were a number of lady bugs. The
woman in her ignorance was killing these
right and left, thinking they were doing
all the damage, and when told that they
were her best friends was incredulous. A
few minutes careful watching. however.

mids showed where she had laid her eggs.
which in day or two would hatch. The
woman saw and believed, and in future
the lady bug has sure refuge and vel
come in her patch of flowers and fruit
Another insect that is forever being
killed, owing to the Ignorance of the gen
eral public, is the dragon fly, also known
as the needlecase 1t is one of the most
useful insects of this climate. In his
larval state he subsists almost entirely on
those small squirming threads that can be
seen darting about in any still water, and
which hatch out into the sweet singing
mesquite. As soon as the dragon hy
leaves his watery nursing ground and.
climbing some friendly reed. throws away
the old shell and flies away, he Is helping
man again. His quarry now is the house
fly. Not long ago | saw one of these
insects Knocked down in a veranda where
he had been doing yeoman service. and
the children and women seemed delighted.
although they shrank back from the poor
wounded dragon fy They all thought he
had an awful sting at the end Of his long
body--a cruel injustice When took
the insect up there was general wonder
ment, which increased when a captured hy
was offered him and he ate it greedily.
The boys of that household will never harm
a dragon fly again.

The Horse Market.

From the savannah tGeorgiai Morning New.
The farmer of Washington county are
showing go..d Judgment in giving their at
tention 20 the raising of fine horses, There
is sood deal of talk about the bicycle and
the trolley road breaking the market for
horses. but the fact remains thai the per
son who desires to draw the ribbons over
fast horse with plenty Of bottom has got
to 90 down deep into his pocket TO pay for
such an animal. Probably not three per
sons in ten who ride bicycles ever owned d
horse. or ever would have owned horse
if they had not got wheel and the horses
that have been displaced by trolley ears
are the cheap and plodding plugs that never
were worth very much. .is Il matter of
fact. it is an open question if the bicycle
will not increase the demand for the high
Grade horse. Wherever there are any
considerable number of bicycles ridden
there is a strong sentiment in favor of good
roads. and as good roads are provided the
demand for good horses viii grow We
repeat. therefore. that the Washington
county farmers show good judgment in
giving their attention TO the raising of fine
horses and the farmers of other sections
would do well to follow their example.

The Cabbage Worm.

There are several remedies more or less
effective against the cabbage worms,
for there are two species of them, one
a green caterpillar and the other striped
green and yellow. To dust the plants
with some cheap -four, as rye or the lowest
quality of wheat -four, is quite effective if
the -four is sprinkled on the leaves while
they are dry, then when the dew is de-
posted the worms find themselves pasted
with wet -four and cannot move, OF their
breathing organs, which are orifces on the
sides, become choked aud they are suffo-
Gated. 1t has been found that sour skim
med milk poured on the cabbages is most
effective preventive, seeming to keep off
the butterflies when ovipositing. and To
kill the worms, These remedies are so
simple and easy that they should be widely
known. The milk is most excellent
fertilizer and makes the cahbages grow
wonderfully
