How to Fight 1t In the Corn-No Rem
edy For Wheatfields, Etc.
With millions of bugs in, his field or
swarming from out of an adjoining
field either of his own or his neighbors
what is a farmer to do? II the bugs
are gathered on the outer rows of corn.
as is usual In the larger portion Of
Ohio, they having left the wheatfields
for the corn as soon as the grain was
harvested, follow the directions given
by Professor Forbes, state entomolo-
gist Of Illinois, as follows:
Dissolve one-half pound of hard or
soft soap In gallon of water and heat
to the boiling point. Remove from
stove and add two gallons of coal OIL
churning the mixture with a good
force pump for Is minutes. When the
emulsion Is formed it will look like
buttermilk.
10 quarts Of water and apply to the
corn in a spray, preferably before 10
a. m. or after p. m. The bugs should
be washed off so that they will float
In the emulsion at the base of the
plant. A teacupful is generally sufi-
Gent, but the quantity must vary
with the number of bugs infesting the
corn"
That the above is effective and Of
practical value we know from personal
experience.
If the bugs have taken possession Of
more than one of the outer rows of
corn, put in the pillow and turn under a
strip along the edge where the bugs
were congregated, promptly harrow it
down smooth and roll or pack the sur
face of the ground with clod crusher.
Bury chinch bug under three or four
inches of soil and it will not crawl out,
as have learned by actual experiment
in the field. This applies to corn.
There is no way Of treating the pest in
the wheatfield or meadows.
In case a migration is in progress
from a wheatfield to cornfeld, if
about three deep burrows are plowed
as closely side by side as possible, the
invasion may be stopped. A few bugs
will get in and climb out of the first
furrow. but less will succeed in pass
ing the second. while the third will
stop about all of these. If there are
so many that they seem to be escaping
after: few days fill up the trenches
with plank clod crusher or scraper,
level off and roll. making new burrows
where the ridges were between the
old burrows and you have new Sc
ries OF obstructions.-F. NJ. Webster,

IrascibIe Won BuIow.

During Hans won Bulow's leader
ship of the orchestra at Hanover a
tenor of fame was engaged to play a
star role in "Lohengrin," according to
Das Neue Blatt, and while the singer
was rehearsing his part Bulow was
forced to go over the same bars num-
Der of times without the new actor
beginning to sing. Tired of his wasted
efforts, the leader stopped the orchestra
and angrily turned to the singer.
II know that a tenor is proverbially
stupid he said, "but you seem to
make an extensive use of this unwrit-
ten law"
At another time. while one of his
grand intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise. hardly perceptible by
unframed ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time. At first he thought
1t resembled tie futter of wings, but
soon he discovered an elegant lady
RAINING herself In one of the boxes
close by. Bulow kept on with his GEES
lures. fixing his eyes on the offender
In a manner which meant reproof. The
lady. not needing this, was suddenly
surprised by the leader dropping his
stick and turning toward her.

THE FIELD FRATERNITY.
When Gods dear justice is revealed
The kingdom that the Father planned
His children all will equal stand
As flowers in the field.

When Gods dear justice is revealed
The kingdom that the Father planned
His children all will equal stand
As flowers in the field.
There each one has a goodly space
Each yeoman OF the fowery race;
Each las a foothold on the earth,
A plAse for business and for mirth.
No privilege bars flowers access
To earth's whole store of preciousness;
The flowers stand level on Gods floor
With equal nearness to his store.
And flowers, they have no private ends,
But stand together as close friends;
They, send their beauty on all things
An equal gift to clowns and kingA
They worry not; there is enough
Laid by for them Of Gods good stuff
Enough for all, and SO no fear
Sends boding on their blameless cheer.
This noble blessedness can be
In kingdoms Of equality.
So from the field comes curious news,
That each one takes what it can use
Takes what its lifted cup can hold
OF skyey rain and beamy gold,
And all give back, with pleasure high,
Their riches to the sun and sky.
Yes, since the first star they have stood
A testament of brotherhood.

THE COLONEL TALKS.
He Had a Remarkable Adventure
While Hunting Buffalo
Big Herd Forces n Railroad Train
from the Track and Carrier Ii Way
on ON the. Prairie, IA Miles
from Anywhere.

"Of course, buffalo hunting is q
thing of the past" remarked the
colonel to his friend of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. "But years ago when /
was young man in the west, we
killed 'em by the thousands. In those
days the railroad was built as far al
Emporia, Kan. Surveying parties were
sent on ahead and the road was ex-
tended as fast as possible. Countless
herds of shaggy buffaloes roamed over
the railroad, and you can bet we had
to spike down those tracks good and
hard. 1t was an everyday Occurrences
with us to run out on the new con-
struction track on a light locomotive
with old-style winchesters and pot
buffaloes. The animals would shout
der up to the engine as it ran along
slowly, fall in like line of soldiers
doing double time and run alongside.
One Of our men used to ride on the
pilot and lasso the animals. He had
taken a half hitch about the smoke
stack with his lariat, and the mo-
nent one of the bulls would get with
In distance the moose would be threwn
over it's head.
Then the engineer would grab the
lever and open her up a couple of
notches. Away would steam our en-
CINE and the buffalo bull would be
jerked into kingdom come. That's
how the expression of jerked buffalo
meat originated.
"But the most curious incident Of
our buffalo hunting career happened
one pleasant morning during the early
days Of 1867. The buffaloes were then
shedding their winter coats, and it
seems that about that time they are
attacked by an intolerable itch that
causes them to become frenzied. A
whole herd would draw close together

BITS FROM PARIS.

In Paris one person in IS lives ON
charity.
In Paris there is a wine-shop for every
three houses.
Paris consumes 10000, 900 pounds OF
tame rabbits annually.
OF the inhabitants of Paris 1,475, 900
live by the labor of their hands.
Paris has nearly 100 more periodicals
than 1t had a year ago.
Students OF architecture may have
often wondered how the two towers OF
Notre Dame ut Paris were not of the
same size. 1t appears that when thu
cathedral was built it was the cathedral
of a suffragan bishop, who was not en-
titled TO two towers of equal height,
and for centuries the bishop of Paris
was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.
Paris Is said to be the cleanest city
In the world. Every morning 1000
male and 600 female scavengers, divided
into 14s brigades, turn out to perform
the toilet Of the capital. The men work
from four in the morning till four In
the afternoon, less tive hours off for
meals, or ten hours a day. The women
are engaged in the morning only.
