Prof. Lugger Says Good Farmers Escape
Pests.
A report issued by the State expert
mental station has been recently re-
ceived by this office. Prof. Lugger,
the State entomologist, furnishes an
excellent paper on the prevalence of
the chinch bug which is worthy of
every farmers consideration The
professor says a good farmer or one
that is an agriculturist and one not
pirate, man that feeds his land as
he expects to be fed by. it in return,
never suffers as much from chinch
bugs as an ignorant and slovenly one
Chinch bugs prefer sandy soil or poorly
cultivated soil, simply because in such
fields the plants are small and of ir-
regular growth, thus permitting the
sun to strike the soil directly, it not
being shaded by foliage. A good
farmer, will enrich the sandy soil to
such an extent as to produce a strong
and uniform stand of plants; he will
not cultivate poorly good soil, neither
will he be robber of the soil by CON
tinuing to remove crops year after
year without returning something to
the soil in the form of manure to keep
up it's fertility. A:good farmer will
escape many losses by insects and
other pests where a poor farmer would
suffer-. AS long as it is the aim of the
farmer to grow upon the biggest scale
possible only one kind of crop, just that
long noxious insects will be numerous
or even increase still more in numbers.
If more diversified farming we're the
rule and not the exception, as it is at
present, fields containing the other
kinds of plants, and insects would not
find it so convenient to multiply with
out let or hindrance

snesohless and Swollen.

A story at the expense Of Sir William
Harcourt is worth repeating. Before his
recent departure for the continent the
ex-chancellor of the exchequer spent
some time at the seaside, and on one &C.
casion visited a man-of-war lying on the
Hampshire coast.
After dinner, the weather proving
rather rough, the captain, an unusually
small and dapper man, suggested that
Sir William should sleep on board, and
thoughtfully surrendered his own berth
for the night to his distinguished guest.
Next morning, at the early hour when
the captain usually rose, the latter's
sailor servant, who knew nothing of the
change of berths, brought a cup Of coffee
to the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving an answer.
Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped
in his head and asked:
Don't you want your coffee this
morning, sir?"
The only reply was in the nature of a
growl, and the terrified sailor beheld a
gigantic figure turning over under the
bedclothes. Dropping the cup Of coffee,
the faithful servant rushed to the ships
surgeon, eXclaiming;
"For goodness sake, sir, come to the
captain at once. He's speechless, and

whore Moslems Are Moat Nn,nerora.

Far in advance of any other nation in
the number of the Moslems under its
rule is Great Britain. In India alone
there are about 60,000,0O0 Mohamme-
dams, and they outnumber all the sub
iects Of the sultan more than two to
one. Besides, England rules Mohamme-
dams in other parts of her vast empire,
though not many in any one place. The
queen is the sovereign of many millions
more Moslems than Christians.
China is believed to come next as a
country inhabited by many followers Of
the prophet. The number Of Mohamme-
dams in the Chinese empire is estimated
all tho way from 80, 900, 900 to so, 000,-
900, and the smallest of the guesses is
moro than Turkey can match. Holland
also has nearly or quite so, 600, 900 Mos
lem subjects in her populous and rich
East Indian possessions. Java has fully
$4,000, 900 people, and nearly all Of
them are Mohammedans.
The Turkish empire is supposed to
contain about $4,000, 900 Moslems,
counting the portion Of Arabia in which
the authority Of the sultan is not very
we'll established and is in danger Of he
ing destroyed at any time. Therefore it
is apparent that unless great error has
been made in estimating the number Of
Mohammedans in the Chinese empire
tho sultan is only fourth among rulers
of great bodies of men and women who
believe III Mohammed.
But among other countries which are
dominated by the Moslem element Of
their population and are under the sway
of Mohammedan ruler the Turkish en-
pire is easily first in numbers and in
power for evil. Cleveland Leader.
