The insects attacking the currant
are the imported currant-borer, the
American currant-borer, the imported
currant worm, the native saw-fly, and
several others of more or less impor-
lance. The two borers are in some
sections o serious impeachment to sue
cessful currant culture. The moth of
the imported borer lays its eggs in
Jrne, singly near the buds, where in
q few days they hatch into small larva,
which eat their way to the centre OF
the stem where they burrow up and
down, feeding on the pith all through
the summer, charging the channel as
they grow older until at last they have
formed a hollow several inches in
length. When full grown the larva
is whitish and heshy, with brown head
and legs and a dark line along the
middle of its back.
When the hollow stems do not break
off, indications of the presence Of the
borer may be found in the sickly look
of the leaves and the inferior size OF
the fruit.
The only remedies arc to cut out
and burn all hollow canes, or to cap
ture and destroy the moths, who are
sluggish in the cool of the morning.
The American current-borer differs
from the above in being of smaller
size and without feet. Sometimes as
many as eight or ten of these borers
are found within one cane. The cut
ting and burning of the infested stalks
is recommended in this case as for tho
imported borer. The insects attack
ing the leaves of the currant are tho
imported and native currant worm,
and the currant span worm.
There are numerous other insects
that commit de~predations of minor
Importance, but the three mentioned
are all that are likely to be trouble
IN The first two can be kept in
subsection by the use OF powdered
hellebore in the proportion of au
ounce to n p%ailful of water, sprinkled
or sprayed on the bushes at their
first appearance. For the span worm,
if hellebore is used, tho liquid should
be made three times the usual
strength. Paris green is more certain
and effectual where there is no obiec-
ton to its use.

Experience has shown that the
brook is a dangerous adjunct to the
hog pasture. This is especially SO in
most of the prairie States, where the
land is so level that a brook winds
sluggishly through many townships,
and must need receive the drainage
from many farms.
When hog cholera breaks ont on
one farm it often, in this way, dis.
tributes the disease to all the farms
further down the course of the stream,
wherever the hogs depend on the
brook for drinking water. Investiga-
tons have shown that some of the
worst outbreaks of hog cholera have
come in this way.
In n mountainous country, where
the streams are many times so short
that they are known from source to
final outflow they are comparatively
safe for the watering of all stock; for
the reason hat it is not possible for a
disease to exist there without its
presence being known. But in level
States the length of the streams pre-
cludes this knowledge. In every sec
ton of level country where hog
cholera exists at all, the hog and tho
brook should be separated. This pre-
caution, if widely taken, will lessen
the disease named by a large per cent.

CORN is KING OF THE CROPS.
The Great Agricultural Product Will
Break All Records This Year.

WASHINGTON, D. @. (Speclal). Corn is
king. His throne is the United States, and
rises out of the Mississippi Valley. This
year he has broken the record for produce
ton. Reports from the great corn States
show that we will have a crop OF 2. 1900, co.,
900 bushels, which is SIS, 900, 001 more
bushels than the crop of last year and 49,
600, 900 more than the phenomenal output
of 1896. Including the crop now TO be har-
vested, tliere have been only nine to reach
the two billion mark.
This enormous crop is two-thirds OF tho
worlds yearly corn output. 1t Is grown
on one-third OF the entire acreage OF the
United STATES, and nearly all of 1t comes
from eight States, three OF which-Kansas,
Iowa and Illinois, raise as much as all OF
the world together outside OF the United
States. The eight States with the bushels
of corn now growing in them are: Kansas,
$40, 900 900; Nebraska, $40, 900, 900; Iowa.
260, 000, 900; Illinois, $50, 900, 900; Missouri,
1870, 900 900; Indiana, l5), GOO 900; Texas,
1876, 900 900, and Ohio, ITO, O0), 900. These
figures are conservative, and come from
the most reliable sources In the States
named.
This grand crop means much. 1t mieans

ture; it means wealth; 1t means the pay
ment OF mortgages and ability to live

CANNOT SHARE SURPLUS.
Important reeision Affecting Policy
Holders AID Assurance Companies
Wanted a Division of the Profits.
But The Court OF Appeals Decided
Against Him.

Al n N. Y. (Specinl).-A unanimous
decision was handed down in the Court OF
Appeals In the matter OF the appeal OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society from an
order and judgment obtained by Emil
Greeff, the respondent, in the Appellate
Division OF the Supreme Court, in the
second department. This decision, of great
interest to p~olicyhoIders and OF great i'm
portance to all companies engaged In the
business OF assuring lives, was written b.
Judge Martin. bis associates eoncurring.
The litigation arose from the fact that
Oh July /, 1882, Emil Greeff, OF New York,
insured his life In the Equitable Life AS
suranee Society In the sum OF S20,0 600 by a
form of policy styled an endowment. hav-
ing q period of fifteen years to run. 1t was
an annual dividend policy. On May Q,
1897. the policy matured, and the society
paid over to the assured the sum of 800
900 and dividends which accumulated, to
the amount Of 1892. Mr.. Greeff was dis
satisfied with the settlement. declared that
the society was holding back for Its own
use a part of its surplus, and sued for q
further dividend of $7)67.
To this complaint the society demurred,
setting forth that the plaintiff "did not
state facts su ficient to constitute q cause
for action" Justice Joseph f. Daily sus-
tanned the demurrer.
The opinion just handed down in the
main holds that the plaintiff, Emil Greeff,
cannot win on the equity side OF the cour'
In consequence Of t,,s fact .nat the
Acknowledgement did not bring the action,
as the statutes provide that all suits In
volylng an accounting must be brought by
or with the approval OF the Attorney
General, and further, that he cannot win
at law because, first, he Is bound by the
terms OF his policy, and, second, by the
statutes.
Judge Martin, examining the complaint
as to whether 1t states facts sufficient to
constitute a cause Of action, says:
1.-THE point to be determined is whether
the facts stated are uficie to entitle the
plaintiff to recover In an action at law
upon the policy as an instrument for tho
payment of money, or to recover against
the defendant for a breach of Its contract"
In this examination he says: "By the
terms OF the plaintiffs contract he express
ly rati1 ed and accepted the principles and
methods which were from time to time
adopted by the defendant for the dlstrlbu.
tion Of such surplus. The plaintiffs claim
that the whole surplus should be dis
tributed eanno be sustained II It is In con-
1ict with the provisions OF the contract
between the parties without making a new
contract for them, which the court will
not do. 1t Is to be observed that the
agreement was that the plaintiff should
participate, not In the whole surplus, but
In the distribution OF the surplus, or in
other words, In the surplus which, accord
ing to its methods and principles, was to
be distributed"

A prnmmer,s Experience.

For eighteen years I was a drummer. My
territory was In all OF the Southern States,
and / travelled through them all. In one
OF the largest cities in these States / had O
good customer to whom I sold many large
bills, The buyer of this house was o man
who drank regularly and very often.
On one trip l went In to this buyer, and
he sent the stock clerk to see how many
Eases OF my goods were needed. When
told. he ran his arm In mine and walked
out OF the office and up the street to an
alley (talking all the time about ~busjness),
and then down the alley to the back door
81 a barroom. When he struck the alley l
saw his object, and said: "Ifthe Lord will
help me now, 1 will not break my rule"
When we got within ten feet OF the door OF
the accursed hole l stopped, and, looking
at my customer (for he certainly was not
my friend). 1 said: II don't drink any
thing; no use my. going In there" He
looked at me, and said; Come on Inc
take n drink" 1 replied: "No. I don't
drink" "Take o cigar, then" mo, !
don't go in barrooms at ALL" He stopped
and looked mo squarely in the face, and
took his arm out OF mine, and went In. He
soon came out, and we walked on back to
bis Office, but he didn't arm me back nor
speak a word to me. When we got into tho
office again I took out my order book as
though nothing had happened, and said
politely: GLOW man cases shall 1 put
DOWN. "None," said he; 81 don't want
any," l answered, "All right, sir; we have
a surplus on hand at ali times, and when
you want any OF our goods we will be
pleased to have your order" and bade him
good day. This was Saturday. / remained
over In tho city until Monday. Sunday

habit, and when the collection was taken

recognized me or not, but 1 knew him, and

Now for the application. This man OF
whom l speak was n full partner IN the

two years after this for over half a million
dollars, but did not get my house for a

A BRIDAL PAIR MURDERED.
Disappointed Lover Killed Them as They
Sat at Supper.

MONTGOMERY, Mo. Especially. Frank
Walker and his bride were murdered by
Charles Rankin, a disappointed lover, who
then killed himself. {
The murder ccurred at the home of
James Cook. nine miles east OF here, where
the bridal pair and their friends had gone
to eat the wedding supper.
Walker worked about the Cook farm. A
few days ago he and Miss Maude Goshorn
drove to Montgomery and were married.
They then drove out to the Cook home,
where a supper was prepared. Accompany
of well-wishersg gathered.
The bride and bridegroom sat side by
side at the head Of the table in front OF an
uncurtained window, when Rankin muir
dered them, firing with a shotgun through
the window. Both were instantly killed.
A child of the Cook family was severely
wounded. No one saw the murderer, and
his identity was unknown until bis dead
body was found outside the house. A letter
left by Rankin cited the fact that be was
a rejected suitor of Miss Goshorn's, and
that he committed the murder because she
had married another.
