NEW PEST FOR CORN.
Interesting Discovery Made by State
EntOmoIogist Forbes of Illinois.

EntOmOIogist Forbes of Illinois.
Recent Investigations at the agricul-
tural experiment stations of the Uni
versity of Illinois at Champaign have
resulted in the discovery of new and
exceedingly formidable enemy to corn,
says the Chicago Post. Professor
Forbes, working in the state entonol-
ogist's office, first had his attention
attracted by a strange little insect in
corn given to him to examine. He
investigated in Champaign and Piatt
counties, finding the same insect in
svery field. 1t is a small, white grub
about an eighth of en- inch long when
full grown. 1t kills the larger roots
Of the corn by gnawing away at the
surface. For years it has been known
as a strawberry root worm, but it is
now found to breed regularly in grass
lands. Ground which was in grass
last year and put in corn this year is
greatly infested with the little pest.
The egg from which the grub matches
is laid in the fall by n little brown
beetle known as the Calaspis brunnea.
The experiment station has just is
sued a circular of inquiry to the farm
ers of Illinois concerning smut in oats.
The circular states that the loss to
Illinois last year from smut was So
100000. 1t asks the cooperation of
the farmers in the discovery of the ex-
act damage to oats for 1900.

Uncle sam. Marines.

Brave lads are they whose drilling ground
Oft on the wave careens,
The gallant soldiers Of the sea,
Our Uncle Sans marines
Across the oceans wide they sail,
Meier caring where they go
II over them Old Glory floats
While waves beneath them flow.
Brave lads are they on sea or land,
Wherever duty calls;
They fear no foemen on the deep.
No task ashore appaIls
The strife between the ships OF war
Fer finds them at their post;
They boldly dash through surf to storm
The trenches on the coast.
Their plueky deeds on Cuban soil
Are fresh in memory,
For there our flag was planted first
By soldiers of the sea,
And when the tide Of war swept on
To farof Philippines
The honors of the strife were shared
By Uncle Sans marines.
And now against unnumbered foes
Again they brayely stand,
While ON them press the yellow hordes
Within an unknqTn land.
For Tag and country there they fight,
For flag and country die;
There duty called the brave marines,
And prompt was their reply.
All honor to these gallant men,
These soldiers OF the sea,
Who lead the way that others may
In time reap victory.
True courage they have ever shown
In warfare's many scenes,
And splendid is the record made
By Uncle Sans marines.

DEFENDS ON HIS BEHAVIOR.
What Alexander Cheney Gets of the Es-
tate Left by His Father.


Pana, Ills, July 23.-The will of the
late Judge Prentiss d. Cheney has
been filed for probate, and proves to
be an interesting document. He gives
his wife $751; in cash, and the home,
with all furnishings, during her nat
ural life. To his son, Alexander, he
gives 500 and his personal belongings.
He leaves his mother $500, and each
nephew and niece 500.
The rest of the estate is to be placed
in the hands of L. S. Chapman, as
trustee, who is to give the son 800
each month, if he asks for it. If he
marries he is to get 5000 per month.
But if he drinks or mingles with evil
associates he is to get no help at all.
If he abstains from liquors and mar
cotic drugs for one year, he is to get
81 900. Two years of such conduct
will bring him 81 800; three years, ST.
600; four years, $500, and five years,
$1,000.
After that he is to receive half of
the properly in Christian county and
all rents and profits therefrom. If he
continues to be wise for another five
years and saves $1,000, the other half
of the Christian county property is to
be turned over to him. The estate is
instructed to expend $500 or $1,000 a
year in assisting county officers to
prosecute violators of the gambling
and liquor laws.

CONCLUSIONS OF PROFESSOR LONG.
Young Man Put On His Good Behavior
by His Fathers WiIl-Third
Brigade in Camp.

Springfield, Ills, July 23.-The state
board of health Saturday issued adj
vance sheets of sanitary investigations
OF the Illinois river and tributaries
made both before and after the open
ing of the Chicago drainage canal.
Much had been said about the injury
that would result to the waters of
these streams by the turning of the
Chicago sewage into them, and for
this reason the board on July 10 or
dered an investigation made. Dr.
Egan, secretary of the board, to whom
was entrusted the investigation. Sc
cured the services of Professor John
III. Long, of the Northwestern Univer
sity, to make the analysis. The adj
vance report does not mark the close
of the investigations, but they will be
continued and collections of the waters
made weekly until the close of Sept
ember and a final report made about
Dec. 1.
What the Report Demonstrates.
The last time the state board of
health made Il report upon the water
supply was in 1889. Professor Long
made the collections of water at TWEEN
ty different points in the rivers that
might possibly be affected by the
drainage CANAL comparisons were
made between these samples and the
samples of the headwaters of the sew
eral streams. The principal thing di-
vulged by the investigation is the fact
that the waters of the lower Illinois
river. at least, are not polluted by the
flow from the drainage canal. The
amount of organic matter disappears
very rapidly after leaving bridgeport.
Professor Long says Peoria 'cattleshed
filth. and not Chicago sewage, is. the
main factor in the animal pullution of
the lower river. In another paragraph
of the report he says the Illinois at
its mouth is in better organic condition
than most of its tributaries.

WANTS BISON SAVED.
col. Buffalo Jones' Plan Indors ed
by Many Congressman.
Asks for the Setting Apart Of . Large
Preserve for the American
Buffalo in the Territory
Of New Mexico.
[specia, Washington Letter.I

Especial Washington Lottery
I'D UFFALO JONES" is here,
and will remain until he
can accomplish the object
Of his coming.
Congressman Lacey, of Iowa, chair
man of the committee on public lands,
has introduced bill ''to set apart 1,
preserve for the American bison," and
it is proposed to place this preserve in
charge OF Buffalo Jones'"
Inasmuch as Congressman Lacey has
great influence in the house of repre-
sentatives, because he is chairman of
the committee on public lands, and in
asmuch rs that committee will have
charge of the pending bill, it seems
likely that the measure will, in due
season, become a law. It is regarded
as very important proposition by all
congressman who have had time to give
it consideration, and majority of
them seem to spontaneously favor it.
The proposed preserve is to be To-
Gated near the southeast corner of
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1900-03-16

"In 1875. when first began thinking
of the necessity of preserving the buff
falo, there were fully 100000 still iv-
ing. Now there are less than 400 left.
I estimate that before the trans-conti-
mental railways were built there were
between $4,000, 900 and 100000 of
them. When first seriously talked of
demonstrating the buffalo I was ridi-
culed by people who declared that the
widest of all animals could never be
brought within the control of man.
They said that nothing but q stone
wall like the Chinese wall would ever
hold them. The vicious old bulls had
smashed many board fence, and scat
tered the rails from rail fences. I
tried many kinds of fence, and finally
stretched barb wires around seq
ton of $40 acres of land, and kept $50
buffaloes for a year, without any diff
ficulty. The wire itself might have
been broken by them, but they ac-
copied it as the limit of their range,
and they had no desire to break it..
The wire offered no obstruction to
their vision, and hence, as long as they
could have freedom of sight around
them, they had no fear of danger, and
no desire to break loose from con-
finement which was made agreeable to
them.
Il have demonstrated that the buff
falo can be domesticated. I have buff
falo milk which is sweeter, richer and
more nourishing than the milk of any
other breed of COWS. The meat of the
buffalo is better than any produced by
the cattlemen of this country. The

the territory of New Mexico, and is to
be 40 miles square. Col. Jones says
that any smaller area would he use
less for many reasons. In the irst
place, he says that the buffalo is hv-
ing barometer. He can tell when it
is going to rain, or snow, or
blow and he knows how to con-
duct himself accordingly. In a
range of 40 miles a buffalo can
take care of himself, and hide in can
yons, or race across the plateaus to
dry places, when snow or rain are
coming. There may be clear weather
on one portion of a tract 40 miles
square, while exceedingly inclement
weather exists in some other part of
the tract. Moreover, Col. Jones says
that the buffalo is the greatest of all
liberty loving animals; and close con-
fnement has caused many a one to
die of a broken heart.
II am not n philanthropist," says
Col. Jones. 81 am simply trying to
do what seems to me duty. No man
has killed SO many buffaloes as I have
.ieilled, for my victims number many
thousands. For years I made it my
business to kill them, and make money
out of their hides. Moreover, in my
