THE FARMING WORLD.
KANSAS CH,NCA BUGS.

A Simple and Incx ,ensivc Way Of Fight
ing the Pest.
A Kansas agricultural correspondent
says that he has just saved G3 acres
of splendid corn from the ravages OF
the chinch bug by a very simple and
Inexpensive expcdicnt. On the east of
his cornticid, and separated from it by
a 16-foOt lane, was wheat field OF 40
acres. TwOor three days besor cutting
he mixed salt and coal oil in "A vessel.
putting from ona-huf pint to one OF
coal oil to one-half bushel of salt. lie
then made a line with this salt the whole
width of the ccrntield 90 rods through
the center of the 1G-foot lane. The
line of salt was about , inches wide at
the base. He then bored holes with
post auger about 3 rods apart, to a
depth OF about inches or a foot. The
top of each hole was trimmed with a
knife leaving the mouth of the hole
nnel-shaped and smooth. AS soon
as the wheat was cut about Il quart of
water was poured into each hole, and
topped with a small quantity Of coal
oil. The holes were the side next
to the wheat field, ana 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 cxpcrifnenter with this
simple ira p describes it: "They don't
wi 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 constunt pressure
from the enormous line toward the
hole, they look like wheat going into
hopper as they pour over the brink.
\ 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 i'll the
holes when necessary. \ little coal oil
should be poured on the line once Il
day, and the line should be re1nadc
after each rain. The mouth OF the
hole should be kept smooth. If it is
dry. and cracked, handful of dust
should be sprinl<lcd around the ed yes
occasionally. The bugs cannot cling
to it, and tumble in soon as they
touch it.
