A Lsaf-Hopper Destructive to wheat.
The wheat nelda IN the vicinity OF
Columbus during the last summer were
swarming with small leaf-hoppers, the
most conspicuous species being the
Hurtful Leaf-hopper (Deltocephalua
Inimleus). writes Prof. Osborn In the
Agricultural Student. published at the
Ohio Agricultural College. This spo-
cies has been recognized as a destruc-
tive form since the time OF It's FIRST de-
scriptlon, whom It's character was In
dicated in It's name. but II Is not given
the attention which It's power for in
Jury would seem TO deserve. The adult
insect, the form now most abundant.
is about three-slxteenths OF an inch
long, the color grayish, with brownish
markings and six black dots-two on
the front OF the head, two on the
prothoraX. and two on the scutellum.
The larval forms are yellow. and after
the first two mouths are distinguished
by the presence Of conspicuous black
margin from the eyes back
Both larvae and adults are concerned
in the injuries. and their mode OF at
tack Is 10 punoture the leaves and
stems and suck the sap, thereby caus-
ing wllted and deadened spots and the
weakening OF the plant, especially
above the point whore the punctureA
are made. According to the first rec
ord concerning the insect-that accom-
panylng the original deserlptlon-the
Iarya attacks the roots. Say remarks;

Sit and Set.

An old number of the Poultry
Keeper gives the following les
son in grammar:
Boys and girls, look out that
you do not get into the habit of
using '.set" for "sit" and ''lay''
for ''lie." They are very com
mon errors of speech, and when
you once get into the habit of us
ing them it is hard to break up,
like all bad habits. You can
''lie" down, but you must "lay''
your coat down. You can "sit"
down, but you must "set" your
hat down. You can "set" hen,
but the hen must "sit" on the
eggs. You ''lie" down to-day,
you ''lay" down yesterday, or
YOU have claim" down at some
previous time. You ''lay" your
coat down to-day, you ''laid" II
down yesterday.
1t is all very well to say you
can "set" a hen, but the hen
must "sit" on the eggs. This,
however, does not specifically an
swer question: which sometimes
agitates poultry people, VIZ;
Should one say setting" Of
eggs or a sitting" of eggs?
Some persons use one form and
some another, and in our opinion
either is equally correct. Thus,
a setting" of eggs is sufficient
number to "set" hen, or it may
be sufficient numb Der for a hen
to ''sit" on-a distinction without
a difference. Take your choice.

An Egg Sharper.

There are "sharpers" in all
lines of business. Unfortunately
the poultry industry is no ex-
ception. These fellows prey on
the community for a time, but
sooner or later they come to
grief, The Memphis Scimitar
tells of one of these cunning
rogues who was arraigned in the
United States court at Memphis
charged with using the mails to
defraud. The fellow advertised
for sale settings of eggs of a GER
tain kind at a figure much less
than that for which this particu-
lar kind Of eggs could be pur-
chased, and he offered as guar
antee ten dollars for chicken
Matched from one of the eggs
which was of kind other than
that of the eggs offered.
The man did a land Office BUSH
ness for a while and realized
handsomely on ever sale, for in
each setting" of thirteen which
he sold there were twelve COM
mon eggs and one of the kind he
advertised. In order to save
himself on his gnarautee the fell
low boiled the common eggs, so
that they would not hatch, and OF
course there was no chance for a
buyer to get more than one
chicken from a setting. That
chicken, however, was OF the
kind advertised.
This mans bright idea caused
him to spend eighteen months IN
prison.-Ohio Poultry journal.

they get this fall and winter.
This is typical example OF
New England "thrift," and is
particularly interesting only be-
cause the young men turned t.
poultry raising as the most
promising branch of farm work,
the opening through which they
could reach sure and immediate
returns. The lack of well
equipped poultry plant didn't
discourage them, not having good
stock didn't phase" them.
They went to work with the ma
terial within reach, and because
they are the right "men behind
the hens" they are winning sue

The Man Behind the Hen.

We heard not a little said DUR
ing our late war with Spair,
about 'the man behind the gun,
) that it was the man, rather
than the gun, that achieved such
gratifying successes. 1t is pre-
cisely so in poultry raising; the
man, rather than the hen, 1.-THE
man behind the hen," makes the
success or muddles the prospect
of it.
This was forcibly impressed
upon us during recent visit to
Maine, where we found two
yHkng men making an excellent
success with broiler chickens,
although they are four miles
from the steam boat landing, and
long, long way from depots OF
supplies and markets. With a
kcouple of incubators and a fifty
f6ot long hot water pipe brooder
house, they have raised about
twelve hundred broiler chicks
abs year, and finer lot than
tHbe we saw being dressed for
narNxet il would be hard to find.
The two young men are work
ing to get money to complete
their education, one of them be-
inc in the Harvard medical, and
the other the law school; and they

hundred chickens to be sub

Breaking Up Sitters.

SoFe find the breaking up OF
sitt hens very difficult thing
to do, and they really think they
have to torture the hen in order
TO make her abandon her desire
to brood. We have known poul-
try men and women to duck the
hensVn water several times and
then turn them loose; have known
the hens to go about with hoods
on Sc they could not see, and to
beShut up in dark places without
food or water for week or
more. 1t is not necessary to re-
sort to cruel methods to break
up hen that wants to sit. What
is wanted is to turn the desire to
sit into the desire to lay again.
1t will be but little advantage to
haze them broken from wanting
to A and have them lay four or
five eggs only to again become
broody, which they will do If
they are not cared for as they
should be. The reason for this
is that the conditions which
caused the hen to become broody
have not been changed and they
cannot be changed by force.
When a hen becomes broody 1T
means that the egg producing
capacity of her system for the
time being has become exhausted
and that recuperation is needed.
Tbezfrst step to such recupera-
tiohN rest, and being naturally
an industrious bird, they feel
that they may as well raise a
brood while resting as to TOOL
away their time. Some animals
and birds may be stimulated to
do that which is not natural for
Mhem but it is best? The tired
horse may be urged on by the
aiG5f whip.
A practice that is recommend
sed by some thoughtful breeders
Which will break the hen, and at
Fthe same time have her in good
condition to GO right to business,
is to place one egg under her,
letting her sit for one week, iced
ing her once in two days during
the time as if she were really sit
ting on whole clutch. But very
little food will be needed on &C
count of lack of exercise. AT the
close of the week place her in a
coop with a Slated bottom raised
a few inches from the ground,
for a couple of days and she will
lose her desire to sit in few
DAYS, and will begin laying IN
earnest.-The Orange News.

Hold a Caucus.

(From the. Mail of Woodland)
It is high time the Republican press
of this State united against the treach-
erous cali and "Chronicle' and de-
manded that the Republican members
of the Legislature hold a caucus for
the election Of United States Senator.
1t would be an everlasting disgrace to
the party TO let the Legislature adjourn
without electing a Senator, especially
when the party has such an overwhelm-
ing majority.
The party in the past has always
settled its differences in caucus and
there is no reason why it should not
do SO this time.
The two San Francisco papers re-
ferrsd to ab~ve have always been strong
advocates CT the caucus plan and their
sudden change of front is decidedly
suspicious.
The time has come for the country
press to rescue the party from its dan
gerous position and at the same time
show the Call" and Chronicle" that
they can not wreck the party, as they
are trying to do.
If we do not elect a Senator this ses-
sion you will find the Cali working

Elect a Senator,

(From the San Jose Mercury
The Republicans won a victory
throughout the State in the last cam
paign. 1t was the American-loving
voter that made this possible. He
voted for Republican Representative
to the State Legislature because he
sanctioned the administration Of Pres
ident Mckinley and by his vote he in
dorsed the great underlying principle
of protection. both against foreign la
borers and manufacturers and foreign
soldiers. Now, in order to carry out
the wishes of the voter it is the duty
of the Legislature to elect Republi-
can United States Senator The ex-
listing deadlock is dangerous The in
dividual ambition of candidates should
be subordinated to the great principle
involved. The voter had faith in the
Republican party and he demands that
his representatives send Republican
to the upper house of Congress so that
his vote and influence may be exercised
in the support of the Republican policy.
We suggest that the Republicans in the
Legislature get together and select
some capable and worthy man who will
faithfully, honorably and intelligentIy
represent this great State at Washing
ton. They certainly ought not to be
afraid of themselves.
The record-union., 1899-02-14

The Republican newspapers through
out the State which did valiant service
in the party cause during the cam
paign of last fall and helped to elect
the present members of the majority
in the Legislature are now coming to
the front and demanding in no uncer-
tain tone that a Republican United
States Senator be elected, and that
without further delay. They declare
that the proper course to pursue is for
the Republican members to meet IN
council and settle their differences,
abiding by the will of the majority, the
same as they do when they meet in
convention to select candidates for
State offices. The Record Union re-
produced editorial expressions from
several of these papers yesterday morn

The Legislature now in session at

1ority 1t was elected by Republicans
earnestly interested in promoting the
principles of their party and retaining
control of the United States Senate.
1t has a duty to perform which it can
not evade and must not treat indiffer-
ently-that of choosing a successor to
Senator Stephen M. White The last
days of the session are here. and no
Senator is yet in sight. A deadlock
is permitted to paralyze party effort
and inspire Democratic hope Like a
fever that has had its run, it should be
broken. Republicans In both houses
of the Legislature should close their
ears to the appeals of selfish aspirants.
the Incorporate talk of "get-even'
Journalists, and get together on the
broad proposition that a Senator must
and shall be elected. The Register,
has never favored the candidacy of
Daniel M. Burns. It does not now.
But it does favor election in Repub-
lican caucus, at the risk of that gem
tleman's success, rather than no elec-
tion, and vacancy in the United States
Senate. to be filled two years hence
possibly by a Democratic Legislature;
the proceedings of said caucus to be as,
open and above board as are any Of
the sessions of the Republican State
Central Committee. Burns must have
seventeen more votes than he has yet
received, to give him the caucus nomi-
nation. Where are they? He has need
ed votes to strengthen his cause. and
gained but two since the balloting be-
gan, and those at great cost to them
selves. Will they come to him in
caucus? Not unless legislators have
been trifiing with their constituents.
