six votes from Major Mckinley. These
are the twelve votes OF West Virginia

OF all the bodily organs which
need watchful care in the period OF

pre-eminent. Yet no organ Is 30

II is no calumny upon the modern
school-room, or upon the methods
which are employed there, TO say
that they are in large measure
responsible for the many evidences
which we meet of an impaired and
defective eyesight amongthe young
and a premature breaking down OF
that function with adults.
The close confinement of the
student uudermines his general

and the fact that II is often neces-

the aid of artificial light, and 1t 10

And II this is not enough to con-
vince us, we may be reminded OF
unhygienic surroundings of even
the Disappointed school house,
the prevalence of contagious dis
eases of the eye, and the great liza
bility of infection through the vari

SATURDAY, MAY io.
TO DESTROY CHINcH BUGS.

Kansas City Star: 1t appears
from an extensive correspondence
that the chinch bugs are unusually
numerous in many parts of Kansas
and that they are likely to do much
damage unless checked by disease
or by mechanical devices. The
greatest loss is inflicted by the
bugs during the last two weeks OF
their stay in the wheat fields. before
the harvest, and during the first
two weeks of their stay in the corn
fields. after they have left the wheat
fields. During these four weeks
they are mostly without wings and
cannot fly and are, therefore, more
readily reached by infection or kept
from entering the corn fields by the
barrier method.
At this critical time the efforts of
the individual farmer may often be
successful in protecting his own
fields, although his neighbors may
not cooperate in the warfare
against the bugs. would advise
the use of the infection in the
infested wheat fields. If the mete-
geological conditions are favorable
the bugs may be destroyed by dis
ease before they reach the corn
fields. If these conditions are not
favorable, the "barrier" method
remains. BY this method it is often
possible to trap and destroy the
bugs almost entirely. The follow
ing is a brief description of the
method of forming and operating
the "barrier:" Turn double fur
row with a pillow, thus forming a
ridge. Smooth and pack down the
top and sides of the ridge. Along
the top of the ridge pour n narrow
line of coal tar. Where coal tar is
not available crude petroleum, or
kerosene mixed with common
coarse salt, may be substituted, and
a line of the mixture strewn on the
ridge with the hand. These sub
stances are offensive to the bugs,
and they seldom attempt to cross
or even to come close enough TO
touch them, but they turn and run
along the ridge in the hope of find
ing a gap through which they may
pass. If post holes broadening
toward the bottom be dug at inter-
walls of IS or leo feet on the side of
the ridge toward the small grain,
the bugs will crowd into the holes,
where they may be killed by Garth.
thrown in and packed down, or by
pouring in little petroleum. If
the salt and petroleum mixture be
used on the top of the ridge. II will
need to be renewed after each rain,
but the coal tar will require no
