line of tar poured out from a watering
pot from which the sprinkler has been
removed Dig occasional holes in the
bottom OF the plowed furrow or on the
bug side OF the tar barrier. The bugs
will collect in these holes in enormous
numbers and may be easily killed with
kerosene,
Many trials have established the fact
that chinch bugs can be prevented from
injuring corn fields by the use of the
kerosene emulsion. To make the
emulsion slice one half pound of COM
mon bar soap, put in kettle with
one gallon OF soft water, and boil until
dissolved; put two gallons of kerosene
in churn or stone jar and 10 1t add
the boiling hot soap solution; churn
from twenty to thirty minutes, when
the whole viii appear creamy II prop
erly made no oil will separate out when
few drops of the emulsion are placed
on a piece of glass TO each gallon Of
the emulsion add eight gallons OF water
and stir, Apply with sprinkling pot,
Every farmer should learn TO make
this emulsion, as it is most useful
inseeticide II is especially valuable
for killing lice on cattle and hogs.
Paris green will not kill chinch bugs.
The chinch bugs that bother corn
fields originate in grain fields near by
from which they migrate in great nuns
bers. The time to use the kerosene
emulsion is just when they are leaving
the grain fields before they have gotten
fairly into the corn field. Just as the
bugs are about to enter the corn field
pillow a deep furrow along that side OF
the corn field they will enter, throw
into this furrow some stalks of green
corn which will attract the bugs; when
they have accumulated on the corn
sprinkle ii with kerosene emulsion.
Put in fresh stalks and sprinkle when
ever the bugs appear If they break
over the barriers, as they probably
will pillow second furrow rod or
two back in the field and repeat the
treatment. If the Bugs attack stand
ing hills of corn sprinkle these with
the emulsion,
If the remedy is tried it should be
used persistently. TO kill one lot of
bugs and then stop will accomplish
little good. When the bugs threaten to
destroy as much as or 10 acres of
corn it will certainly pay the farmer
to spend few hours each day for a
week or so to fight the pest. A little
corn will be lost but most of the field
can easily be saved. Farmers trying
this remedy are requested to report
their experience to Prof. Goff at Madi-
son.

The business sessi ms of the reunion
will be held in mammoth auditorium
at the exposition grounds. This struc-
ture viii seat about 10000 people. 1t
has peen deliberately decorated with
confederate flags, banners and shields,
and band will render confederate
airs and southern melodies. One of
the most important measures to come
up for settlement will be the location
Of a site for the Charles Broadway
Rouss confederate memorial museum.
Mr. Rouss, a wealthy merchant of New
York. was a soldier in the confederate
service and is a native of Virginia. He
offered to give 100000 for the estab-
ishment of this museum, provided the
veterans of the south would raise a
similar amount. Most of this has been
subscribed already and it will be
largely increased, so that when the
committee in charge is ready to COM
nence the Structure it will have $3.50, 600

pointed at Houston, Tex, to decide up

great parade will occur Thursday when
the corner stone of the Jefferson Davis
monument is to be laid.
Not the least of the important phases
of the reunion will be the reception
which Mrs. Davis, assisted by her
daughter, will hold in the old Davis
mansion. She will try to bring back
the scenes of her former receptions at
the white house Of the confederacy
Of all the receptions ever held in this
house this will probably be the most
notable one. Mrs Davis, its former
mistress. will on that occasion shake
hands with tens of thousands of old
officers and men who served in the
southern army This, in all probable
ity, is the last time that this lady will
be witness to such gathering of the
champions of the lost cause In this
historic spot. Miss Davis was born in
the very room in which this reception
is proposed to take place.
Another feature that has been much
discussed will be the carrying of the
stars and stripes in the parades II
was said the veterans would not have
it, but formal welcome to the flag was
issued by the grandmarshal, to set the
story at rest.

TO KILL CHINCH BUGS,
Prof. Golf Gives Valuable Hints to
Farmers.

The chinch bug has appeared in in
furious numbers in several localities,
and requests are coming daily to the
Wisconsin experiment station for in
formation concerning this pest For
several years past experiment stations,
notably the Kansas station and that
of Illinois, have been endeavoring to
destroy this pest by inoculating a
quantity of chinch bugs with disease
and scattering the infected bugs about
the field where the bugs were troub-
ling. At one time it was thought that
this means of destruction would prove
satisfactory and a great deal of in
terest has been awakened in this treat
ment, but unfortunately it does not
seem, says Prof. r. S Golf, to be suf-
fieiently reliable to recommend its use
at this time: consequently we must fall
back on other means of destruction for
the pest, Where the bugs are scat
tered over grain field the case is
almost hopeless for there is no way
Of reaching them satisfactorily.
When, however, they began
travelling to fresh fields they can be
held in check and destroyed. A good
way to check the migration is to pillow
a furrow between the bugs and the field
they are heading for. II the ground Is
dry the sides Of the furrow will be
dusty and check their progress: IL the
ground is wet a narrow strip of tar
should be run along the ground instead
of furrow When tar IL used the
ground should be smoothed and The
