QUESTION: am large grower of
turnip and mustard seed. In the spring
before they ripen much damage is done
the plants by spotted bug. What is
it? Can you give remedy?
ANSWER. bug that Injuries your
crops is without doubt the Harlequin
bug. the worst insect enemy of all cru
ciferous plants. They live through the
winter hidden under leaves or trash of
any kind. They are ready to deposit
their eggs from the middle to last of
March, and then in from four to six
days these hatch out a brood of larvae,
which at once commence their destruc-
tive work by piercing the leaves and
sucking the sap. The leaf thus pierced
soon willis and dies. These insects are
shy and timid, and upon the approach
of person try to hide behind anything
that will conceal them. They are very
difficult to contend with, as they cannot
be reached by any of the arsenical poi
sons. All rubbish under which the bugs
may take refuge during the winter
should be carefully burned, and infested
fields or gardens should have clean Gull
ture. and-picking into pans contain
ing water or kerosene is often resorted
to as aremedy. Pyrethrum in decoction
or powder, and kerosene emulsion may
prove effectual when the bugs are young.
Cabbage growers plant mustard be.
tween the rows of cabbages. which be-
ing preferred by the bugs attracts them
in large numbers. when they are effect
ually destroyed with pure kerosene.
Possibly you might adopt this plan sue
cessfully if your turnips and mustard
are sowed in drills. hope you will try
it and report result to this department..

Cottonseed and Cottonseed Meal For Ma.
snuring Cotton.


QUESTION. Which is the best manure
for cotton, whole cottonseed, cottonseed
meal or crushed cottonseed?
ANSWER. There is slight difference
in favor of cottonseed meal over the
other two. The manurial value of
whole cottonseed and crushed seed is
about the same. AS cottonseed is com.
plete fertilizer with an excess of nitro.
gen, it is better suited for grain crops
than cotton, because the grain requires
larger amount of nitrogen, cotton a
larger amount Of phosphoric acid

A STEAMER LOST.
Vessel and Crew of 35 Men Believed
to Have Sunk.

Boston. Feb. 22.-The German tank
steamer Diamant, Captain Wischausen.
and 50 men, were proba bly, lost with all
hands, $50 miles southeast of Halifax or
else she has been drifting at the mercy
of the elements ever since. Such is ;ne
opinion of Captain Forth, of the Salilee
which reached this port toslay from
London. Captain Forth attempted to
tow the Diamant and to save her crew.
btu the hawsec parted and the tank
steamer disappeared from view so
quickly that 1t is believed she went
down.
Captain Forth says he sighted the
tank steamer February 10 showing sig
mails of distress, having lost her rropel-
Ter. The steamer was taken in tow, but
the next day she broke away. This was
repeated until the 18th, when she dis
appeared altogether
The Galilee had lowed the Diamant
600 miles. Captain Forth cruised around
nearly all day, but saw no trace of the
steamer and so resumed his course.
While he believed the Diamant has
foundered, Capt. Forth thinks that the
empty tank may have kept her affoat
and she is somewhere in the track of
the European steamers.

AN ACTORS REPROOF.
Henry Miller Rebukcs a Noisy Thea
ter PARTY.

New York, Feb. 22.-Two theatre par
ties, consisting of about 20 persons, in
GLIDING a number of ladies, attended
the performance of ''Heartease" at the
Garden Theatre, and the members of
both parties began to- chat briskly dur
ing the progress of the play.
They not only disturbed those around
them, but visibly annoyed the players.
Finally a gentleman who was sitting on
the opposite side of the aisle arose, and
crossing over, said: You would great
ly oblige others present if you would
permit them to hear what is said on the
stage" His manner was extremely pol
ite and he did not appear at all ex-
cited.
You haven't any right to dictate to
us" was the reply of the man to whom
he had spoken.
True" said the other "but I cannot
enjoy the play while you are talking,
and there are many more who are ex-
periencing the same difficulty"
At this point Henry Miller the star
of the play, advanced to the footlights
and said in a calm voice, which was
however, audible throughout the thea
tire:
Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot talk
louder than all of you, and either you
or I must cease"
His remark was aimed directly at the
members of one the theatre parties, and
when he ceased speaking there was
burst of applause from all over the
house After that the performance pro-
ceeded with absolute quiet

CHILDREN AT DISSECTION.
One Faints, One Turns Sick and the
Parents are Indignant

New York, Feb. 22.-The chloroform-
ing and dissection of little girls pet
kitten have stirred the towns of Fish
kill and Matteawan as they have sell
dom been aroused before. and called
forth bitter condemnation Of the public
school officials.
The kitten was killed and dissected
before the eyes of the little pupils. The
memory of that scene, say the mothers
of many of those children, haunts them
in their waking hours as we'll as in
their dreams. Several children were
made i'll by the narrowing sight. One
little girl tainted and was taken from
the room.
The teacher of the class in physiology
at the union free school Of Matteawan
is Miss Nearing, whom Prof. G.. r.
Miller, the principal, declared is one of
the most competent and highly valued
teachers on his entire staff. In her
class are twelve pupils, boys and girls,
whose ages range from u to Is years,
according to Prof. Miller. AS the time
for the regents examination approach
ed Miss Nearing decided that she would
guard against all manner of questions
that might be put to her pupils in phys
iOlOgy by securing some subject for
actual dissection and giving her class
an opportunity to form an actual and
realistic acquaintance with the inter-
nal organisms of the animal body.
Miss Nearing disclosed her plan to
Prof. Miller and he readily agreed that
would De Il great triumph IN lnSCruc-
ton to have an actual dissection.
So Miss Nearing, having secured the
Endorsement of Prof Miller, announced
to her class the proposed demonstration
of the interesting features of the ami
NAL body, about which they had here
tofore merely read. She then asked
if some child in the class would not
volunteer to secure a subject of some
sort. One little girl, the 12-year-old
daughter of Samuel Hayward, raised
her hand. She promised to bring a
kitten for the dissecting table the next
day. She kept her promise without
mentioning the fact to the teacher that
the kitten was the pet of her little sis
ter Agnes, and that she had purloined
it without letting her sister know
about it.
After death had come, as a joint re-
suit of being smOthered and chloro-
formed, the body of the kitten was lift
ed out, placed the dissecting table,
and the entire school was invited to
witness the dissection.
The kitten was disemboweled and all
of the organs exhibited to the staring
eyes of the astonished children. Sew
eraI of the little witnesses could not
stand it. One little girl tainted and a
little boy vomited. But the demonstra-
ton was a great triumph, Prof. Miller
declares as was proven by the fact
that when the regents examination
followed. a few days ago, everyone of
the twelve members OF the class in
physiology passed it.
That satisfied Miss Nearing and Prof.
Miller, but it did not satisfy the parents
of the little children who witnessed the
scene. They were Indignant when they
heard of it, and they have not cooled
off yet.

Merely Getting Ready.
A few weeks ago 1 was riding along a
dim, rough road in Rowan county, KY,
when suddenly at the left of the road
heard a very loud explosion of angry words.
1 thought two men must be engaged in q
rough and tumble fight and was not a lit
tie surprised on coming near to behold a
tall, broad, shaggy whiskered old fellow
striking with his fists a low scrub oak
bush and accompanying each blow with
an OATH
drew rein and watched his singular
conduct for some time without his being
aware of my presence.
He would draw back his great maui of
fist and strike the bush a terrific blow,
making the leaves fly like chaf below 3
fail.
Now, confound ye," he would yell,
"have ye got enough of itP Do you think
you can do with that for few hoursi
Heigh? Think ye kin? EeighS''
Then he would throw his body backward,
as if being assaulted and pushed pretty
sharply. He would duck his head as If
being s1nitten by heavy hand. He would
fall to his knees, then rise, with affected
difficulty, and assault the bush again with
a fury and force that would send the leaves
flying like covey of startled birds. Final
ly he halted for a spell, looked about and
saw me.
With loud, coarse laugh, he at once left
the bush and came toward me.
Mister he said as he walked up and
laid a big, ragged hand on my horses
neck, 81 guess you think I'm crazy, don't
you?"
'Oh, no.
"Then We think I'm jiet material born,
dod gasted fool?''
"Oh, no!''
''Waal, I don t see how you cud hep think
in one or to'ther. But I'll 'splain the
thing. Next week I'm ter git married to

Salina, Feb. 22.-The suit which has
been pending in the Federal courts for
several years, brought by the United
States against the Union Pacific Rail-
way company, and William Hoard, to
cancel the patent to the latter's land,
has just been decided by the Supreme
court of the United States in Mr..
Hoard's favor.
The land involved is the Hoard home
stead farm about four miles south of
this city.
on behalf of the government it was
claimed that the patent was void be
cause the land was not included in the
grant to the railway company.
This was a test case, and virtually
settles any further question as to the
title of a large quantity of lands in
Salina and adjoining counties.
