The news received from Prof. Koebele
that the cane borer is reported to have
disappeared from the cane fields of
Fiji is of the greatest interest and may
be of the highest Importance to the
planters of these Islands. The cause
of the disappearance Prof. Koeble has
not yet learned. If it should turn out
that the disappearance is due to some
method discovered of dealing with
them, doubtless the same methods can
be employed here with equal success.
If it should be from some subtle and
unexplainable cause connected with in
sect life and development, it at least
gives hope that the borer is a pest
whose ravages are not perennial.

psychic PHENOMENA.


Prof. Hyslop, of Columbia University,
and a member of the Society for Psy-
chical Research announces his posi-
tive conviction that within two or
three years the society will be able to
present scientific proof of existence af-
ter death" DIR. Richard Hodgson, pres
ident of the American section of the
society SAYS: The world is on the
eve of great developments. In two
years time or perhaps sooner, by
means of the most remarkable woman
who has appeared in the worlds his
tory, l will publish to the world a new
Interpretation of the laws of humanity,
Of that great primitive universal relig-
ion which no dogma and no sect of to-
day can contradict"
This woman whom DIR. Hodgson says
is so remarkable is Mrs. Leonora e. Pi-
per of Boston. From what DR.. Hodg-
son and Prof. Hyslop publish about her,
for it is in connection with her powers
that both men speak as they do, it.
w~uld seem that she belongs to the
class which in the cant of spiritual
ISM or spiritism, are called trance
mediums" Doubtless she has powers
above the ordinary members of her
class. But the instances given of her
powers do not seem to be more remark
able than can be duplicated by trance
mediums in any big city in the United
States. Nor are they more remarkable
than many instances of what 70 cal1ad
premonitions, mental telepathy, psy-
chic influence, and by similar terms, ex-
perienced by persons who lay no claim
to being mediums, and who never think
of referring them to spirit agency. They
are not at all as remarkable as many
of the experiments in hypnotism, or as
some of the things Washington Irving
Bishop did.
1t is fond dream of many earnest
minds, and the trade cant of many
charlatans, that scientific proof of the
existance and nature of the life after
faith. 1t would perhaps be unscienti-
fic to dOgmatically assert that it may
not be, for the boundries of the un-
movable are not yet, at least, fixed
But the late Prof. Drummond in his
Natural Law in the Spiritual World"
has pointed out clearly why this is
highly improbable, and, so far as ana
logy can prove anything, has proved
that such proof is impossible.
The laws of psychic phenomena are
little understood yet. But simply to
refer these phenomena to the agency
of spirits instead of to natural laws
the nature and working of which is
as yet little understood, would seem
10 be the most unscientific thing i'm
Imaginable. Long before the nature
and laws of electricity were under
stood as they are now, there were
electrical phenomena. In those days
they We're ascribed to spirits, good or
evil, They are still among primitive
and savage people. In our day to
ascribe phenomena no more mysteri-
Gus or subtle than electrical pheno-
mena We're two or three centuries ago,
to spirit manifestations rather than to
natural law, is entirely to ignore mod
ern scince and its teachings.

A DESTRUCTIVE PEST.

Pea-Growing In Certain
Section of the Country.

Many years ago l used to grow acres
of white field peas for hogs. That was
what they were called then, but since
we have to get seed of the same from
Canada, where weevils seem not to
bother, the name seems to have been
changed to Canada peas" raked the
peas in punches with a horserake when
ripe, the rake tearing them out by the
roots. When dry stacked them along
side the hog yard like hay, and forled
them into the yard as hogs needed.
Only enough were stored in the barn
to be threshed Tor seed and for young
pigs the next summer. When warm
weather came the next June the grain
room had not been opened for two or
three weeks, when | went to get peas
o soak for some pigs just before wean-
ng, and the sight | beheld was pho
tographed on my mind indelibly. A
portion of the substance of my peas
was running all over the floor and walls
and bins of wheat, corn, oats and bar
ley. The eggs of the pea weeyil had
hatched in every pea, consuming about
one-fourth of each grain, and then
emerging in the form of dirty gray
beetles, and / suppose they were on
their travels looking for sunlight and
chance for further development. My
pea-growing for pigs ceased then, as
it did with all my neighbors, and prob
ably never to be renewed in this sec
ton of the country.-Galen Wilson, in
Practica Farmer.

Unless great care is observed much
dirt will get into the milk at milking
time. One of the easiest ways to keep
the cows clean | have found is to cut
the hair off the udder and around it
with small pair of BARRIERS clippers
1t is much pleasanter to milk to have
this hair out Of the way, and it also
removes The greatest harbor for dirt
and filth. Then if any dirt becomes
attached TO the udder or teats it is a
very easy matter to wash it off and
dry it without having lot of dirty
water remain TO drip into the pail
which is the case when the hair is thick

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

1t pays to prepare the ground well
for the crop.
A low-wheel wagon on the farm is
very handy.
II helps the looks of premises great
ly to whitewash the fences and the out
buildings.
Add a pinch of soda TO the water in
which cut flowers are placed. 1t will
help preserve them.
The advice often given, directly or
indirectly, to use horses without shoe
ing, is arrant nonsense.
II we learn to run an incubator, It
will always be ready, and sometimes is
available when setting hens are not.
The orchard should have Just as good
attention as any other crop. When the
tree is planted, the land should be thor
oughly prepared.
Potatoes cut to one or two eyes have
always given satisfactory results and
we take no stock in the theory of plant
Ing whole potatoes.
Twelve bushels Of cooked corn will
make as much pork as II of raw corn,
Fed with slops the result should be
200 pounds increase in the weight of a
pig.
Haul ost the manure and spread it on
the land wherever you can. Do not
handle it but once If you can help it.
1t has been decided that it is the better
way to spread it on the surface as soon
as possible. Western Plowman.

Clover unless cut before it reaches
the blossoming stage will have when
dried from seven TO ten per cent. of al
bumnoids, which makes it very nu-
tritious ration. Timothy, when in its
best estate, which is a little before it
has blossomed has only four to five per
cent. of albuminoids. If ii stands until
dead ripe most of these are changed to
woody fiber, which is very hard 10 di.

much richer than the first. 1t is hard

Dobbs Ferry. DR.. and Mrs. Keyes had
arranged to stay over night at the
Casino.
From the accompanying sketch it
will be readily understood how it was
that DR.. Reyes caused the accident
which resulted in the death of himself
and his wife. The Casino is equipped
with both electric and gas light. the
electric current having been in use
on the evening in question. In turning
off the key in the lamp socket it is
probable that DR., keyes' thumb or
finger struck the gas key, which must
have been quite loose, and accidentally
turned it about three-fourths around.
The result was that sufficient gas es-
capped to kill the two occupants Of the
room.
