of the Work and Pyle faction of the Re-

failure. In the first place the parties

an Ohio River engine jumped the
track yesterday afternoon at two O'Clock
while speeding east at a point near the
loop grounds in Lower Benwood and
consequently traffic was delayed for
some time on this part of the road. A

of the engine left the rails and no one
was hurt. Owing to the accident the

The Wheeling District Womans For
eign Missionary Society of the Meth
odist Episcopal church held its TWEEN
ty-eighth annual convention yesterday
at the Wesley M. E. church on South
Ecff street. There was a very large at
tendance and the proceedings proved
exceedingly interesting and profitable.
A special feature was a series of ex-
cellent reports from the different aux
iliaries.
The programme opened with devo-
tional exercises, led by Mrs. Huntley,
after which an address of welcome was
given by Mrs. Gregory Bleakley, of the
Wesley auxiliary. Then came a re-
Spouse from Mrs. Will Hamilton, of the
Fourth Street auxiliary.
Mrs. ]. T. Rose called the convention
to order, and Miss Harris acted as sec
rotary. Encouraging reports were

All farm animals relish succulent
foods, and different forms of vegetable
roots have long been fed more or less
to sheep and cattle as desirable addi-
tons to dry winter rations. Pigs.
however. in winter have usually had
TO be content with grain or mill feed
and water, or. perhaps, skim milk.
Succulent food has not been thought Of
for them, excepting in few cases.
Some experiments on the suitability of
siiage as pig feed have been conducted,
bur with most unsatisfactory returns.
IL was not found to be desirable pig
food. Roots. however. offer a more
appetizing substance for piss, and here
and there is found farmer who has
fed sugar beets or artichokes to swine
with results that have called forth his
approval Mansel wurzels furnish
the farmer with a large amount Of
succulent winter food in the form OF
roots. Very great yields have been
reported by various cultivators, where
In 1t has been shown that the cost per
ton for production is comparatively
light. In 1898. at this station. as high
as 25h tons OF mangels were produced
per acre, at a cost of only So cents per
ton harvested.-C. S. Plumb. Indiana

A communication from the Vermont
Experiment Station says: An old adj
age hath il that closing the barn door
after the theft of the horse is not the
best method OF preventing burglary.
Yet it is held to be worth while as a
discourager of further pilfering.
The dairyman who within the past
few weeks has seen his cows shrinking
and his creamery checks dwIndlins
feels inclined to shut the barn door
and stop the loss. How may he do this
best? If he has planted soiling crops
like peas and oats, Hungarian millet,
and the like and has been supplement-
ing the dying pastures with green feed
in the barn or yard, he has closed the
door before rather than after the theft
has prevented rather than cured
Moreover, the necessity for the sum
mer feeding of grain is greatly les
sened IL he has TO recourse to soil
can lessen the shrinkage. The Yer
mont experiment station has for many
years experimental with sundry soil
ing crops, and as a result of its work
recommends to Vermont dairymen the
large use of summer silage and of oats
and peas sown at weekly intervals and
fed during July and August:
Silage is probably the cheaper food;
cats and peas somewhat the better. II
the former is contemplated as a steady
summer diet for years. it would be
well to consider the erection of a spe-
cial summer silo, preferably round
with a small! feeding area, small
diameter and a relatively great depth
Silage spread over a large Surface in
summer, spoils rapidly and loses large
ly in feeding value. IL oats and peas
he chosen they should be sown In sue
cessive lots at weekly intervals, the
two sown separately, the peas first
rather deeply and narrowed in; the
oats two or three days later and
pushed in. A better catch Is likely to
be secured in this way than II sown
together. The crop may be either fed
green, hayed or put in the silo. Let
those whose July and August milk
yields prove disappointing try silage
or oats and peas next year. They may
not be paraceas, but they will help
greatly to overcome that tired feel
ing" which afflicts so many Vermont
dalrymen when midsummer creamery
returns come in.

FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTURISTS
Shall Indiana Farmers Continue to Grow
Wheat?


Wheat:
Throughout muUh of the state the
wheat crop is a disastrous failure.
Thousands of farmers are asking, is
1t worth while to attempt to grow
wheat?" This depends on whether the
cause or causes of the failure are be-
yond the farmers control. While the
season had something to do with the
poor wheat crop, the Hessian fly was
largely responsible. The 'fy' pracu-
cally destroyed many fields of wheat
last fall, long before the beginning of
winter. Many localities exempt from
the fly produced fair crop. lntelli-
gent, observing farmers quite general
ly agree that the fly" is the chief
cause OF failure. Can the farmers con-
troll this pest or must they give up
beaten" by an insect smaller tnan a
mosquito?
Individual Effort Futile. While the
individual farmer may do something to
hold the fly in check, his efforts alone
are practically futile when the fly is
very prevalent. In this latitude there
are two broods, each year, of the Hes
sian fly, which propagates rapidly and
migrates with ease in the direction Of
the prevailing winds. 1t follows, there
fore, that one farmer cannot, by good
methods, barricade his farm against
both fall and spring attacks of these
insects, which are produced in count
he. hfz naiUh-
Dor to the windward. But can nothing
lie done? Is there no hope. Yes, there
is hope-aye victory, II the farmers
will only unite. Unite, UNITE, to COM
bat this pest of the wheat field.
The Remedy. If the farmers will all
employ the following measures they
will outwit and largely destroy the fly,
and barring a hard winter, secure d
fair crop Of wheat.
!. Prepare the ground for wheat,
early and thoroughly.
2. Promptly destroy all volunteer
wheat in the plowed fields.
3. Sow decoy strips of wheat, about
one rod wide, around each field de-
signed for wheat.
4. Carefully turn under these strips,
using jointer and roll to bury all the
larvae and "naxseed" of the fly, just
before sowing the main crop.
s. Begin seeding as soon as the fly
has ceased to be active. and drill in
with the wheat some good complete
fertilizer, unless the land is already
sufficiently fertile.
These measures. IL adopted by all
wheat growers, would % destroy my
riads OF the fly; CD avoid almost
wholly the fall attack of the insect;
49, by greatly reducing the number Of
the pests, prevent a serious attack in
spring.
The times Of sowing the border and
the main crop would vary with the lat
itude. They are approximately as fol-
lows: North third of the state, bor-
Ter. Sept. /. crop Sept. 20 to 30; CEN
trail third. border Sept 10. crop Oct. l
to 10; south third, border Sept 20,
crop Oct. 20 to so.
A Word TO the Skeptical. II you
have no faith in the above measures,
don't SOW any wheat-sow rye instead
Then you will not hinder your neigh
Dor who is willing to TRY the remedy"
The writer desires to hear from
wheat growers who will undertake to
enlist their neighbors in combined
attack" on the despised foreigners"
