The literature of the k.sing bug is be-
coming quite volunlinous. One of the
latest additions TO it is that its favorite
victims are those who have been eating
onions or garlic. and that it will seldom.
if ever, "kiss" one who uses tobacco. If
there is any moral in this it would seem
TO be, avoid onions and garlic and use
tobacco-as long as the kissing bug is the

RUMOR OF ALGER'S RETIRING.
Secretary of War Said to Have De-
cided to OMIT the Cabinet

Clded to Oult the Cabinet.
Washington dispatches on Wednesday
asserted that the resignation of Secretary
of War Russell A. Alger was in the
hands of President Mckinley, but that
the fact would not be made public for
some weeks. Several different reasons
are surmised for this move of Secretary
Alger, the principal one remarked by poll
tlcians being the combined action brought
to bear upon President Mckinley by lead
ing Republicans to ask for the resignation
of Secretary of War Alger ever since the
gree alliance and the latters denuncia-
ton OF President Mckinley.
Secretary Alger denied the report that
he is to resign. When told of the rumor
that he had rendered his resignation he
said: II have received no direct or indi-
rect intimaton from the President that
he desires me to leave the cabinet. l
have noticed no treatment that makes my
position personally or officially uncom-
Portable. l have caused no third party
to learn for me if it would be acceptable
that L retire later on and, furthermore,
there is nothing to warrant the assertion
that | am to retire
One reason given by friends Of Secre-
tary Alger for dating his resignation so
far ahead is that he is anxious to sign the
full report of the war in Congress in De
cember. 1t is said that in the event the
President is willing TO retain him until
that time, Secretary Algcr will go on
long vacation and the President will con-
duct the affairs of the Office himself.

Crowded Grain Does Not Rust.

The reason why grain does not al-
ways rust in moist, warm weather IL
because, as usually sown, the piants
crowd each other so that none get ar
over supply of the plant food which
such weather develops. In our hot
summers, even when dry, it would not
do to hoe the small grains like wheat.
rs is done by English farmers. The
hoeing would not make any more
plants, and it does increase the supply
of nitrogen in the soil. The American
substitute for hoeing small grain is to
roll or harrow it while it is young
enough to tiller. This checks the
growth of leaves already formed. at
the same time mellowing the soil and
causing new shoots to put forth. This
will on rich land make rank growth
that will have strong straw and will
not rust. If. however, the soil be de
ficient in mineral fertility the heads of
the grain will not fill as they should
do, and this often occurs when the soil
has plenty of heterogeneous fertilizers,
causing n rank growth of straw.

Eecrease in Rumblc Secs.

Wherever a bumblebee is seen in Il

knowledge Of the fact that it is really
dangerous if it comes to close quarters,
gives everybody Il desire to kill it and
put it where it Will do no harm Yet
really it would be better in most cases
if door or window were opened and
the bumbiebee allowed to fly away.
Early in spring the bumb.ebees that
are flying around about houses are in
search c. places to make their nests.
SO many are killed, however, that in
the long settled parts of the country
the bumblebee is much scarcer than it
used to be. They are the only bees
that can reach down into the blossoms
of red clover, and their work in honey
gathering fertiliZes the blossom so that
it can produce seed. The bumblebee
therefore ought to be encouraged in
stead of being destroyed.
