Edward Kilroe, 44orillard's private
physician, DR.. Austin Flint, and sew
eral nurses.
At midnight Saturday LOrillard be-
came unconscious, and it was thought
then that the end was at hand. He
rallied, however, and was conscious
for q few moments at intervals up to
about noon, when he lost conscious
ness for the last time. In his con-
scious moments he recognized his
children. He told his physicians sew
eral days ago that he knew that death
was approaching.
Husband and Wife Estransed.
Lorillard has suffered with Bright's
disease for about ten years, and had
had two previous acute seizures. He
went abroad several months ago, ac-
companied by Edward KilrOe, and
spent most of the winter in Italy. In
the spring he seemed improved and
went to England. The third acute at
tack of the disease occurred about two
weeks ago while Mr.. Lorillard was at
the races at Ascot. When Kilroe
suggested that sea voyage might be
beneficial. Lorillard said he would re-
turn to America, for if he was going
to die he wanted to die I'm his own
country surrounded by his family.
He grew worse on the voyage on the
Deutschland, and was dying man
when he was carried from the ship
to the hotel last Thursday.
Lorillard was nearly 6S years old,
and is survived by his widow, a son,
Pierre LOrillard, Jr., and two daugh-
tiers. Mrs. William Kent and Mrs. L.
Suffern Taller. An estrangement be-
tween husband and wife took place
several years ago. Mrs. Lorillard was
the beautiful Emily Taylor, the
daughter Of clergyman.
Exact Cause a nj ystery.
The son and daughters of the Loril-
lards were well grown when the diff
ferences between the parents arose.
The exact cause is mystery, but 1t
Is said to have been objection on the
part of Mrs. Lorillard to certain WISH
tors at Tuxedo, the magnificent resort
which he founded, transforming
wilderness into vast park Of floral
beauty.
The domestic troubles of the Loril-
1ards were not Haunted, and the gener-
al public knew little of the particulars.
Mis-. Lorillard visited her dying hus-
band on Friday, and the sight of her
seemed to revive him. She was not
present when the end came. Various
estimates have been made OF the value
OF Mr.. LOrillard's estate, and while
its exact value at the present time Is
not known, it IL believed that II Is
more than S25.000,000.

NEW WHEAT DESTROYER.
Specimens OF the Insect Sent from
Texas to ST. Louis to BE Exam
ined by Experts.

Specimens of an entirely new kind
of an insect which has wrought great
havoc in the growing wheat fields of
Texas We're received by p IT, Litch-
field, OF the Modern Miller, and placed
on exhibition at the Merchants eN-
change at st. Louis.
Reports from Texas say that at least
25 per cent. of the wheat crop in the
northern part of the state has been
ruined by the bug and the entire crop
is threatened
The insect is a little smaller than
the Hessian fly, and in appearance il is
something between that insect and the
wheat locust"
The body is an olive green and the
wings transparent at first. Under a
microscope the insect looks very much
like the Cicada or August fly. which is
so musical in the fall. When Inc insect
grows older. however. ii becomes black
and grows larger. 1t has long legs and
rather slender body.
Both the grubs and the insects are
seen in countless numbers in the grow
ing wheat Advices from all parts of
Texas say that the pest is spreading.
But it appears to be working only on
the stubble-ground wheat. The insects
were in the wheat last summer when
it was cut. and remained in the ground
all winter
Owing to the mildness of the winter,
instead of being killed it propagated
rapidly, and apprehensions are felt for
the entire crop. So far wheat on the
cotton ground does not appear TO be
damaged.
The bug attacks the plant, but not
the grain itself, and causes it to wither
and die. Samples of the insect, infect
ed plants and soil in which they grew
have been sent to the agricultural de-
partment and to entomologists in st.
Louis and elsewhere for examination.
At first it was supposed to he Hes
sian fly, but ON closer inspection it
proved to be an entirely different va
riety.

tee of the State Millers' association
was held in Fort Worth. Tex, March
20, at which the millers made distress

THE FENCE QUESTION.
Less Fencing Rather Than More Is
Called For in These Days of Agri-
cultural Competition.

This is the season for repairing old
fences or building new ones. In this
connection it is well to remember that
an unnecessary fence is an unmixed
evil. Let anyone try the simple ex-
pertinent of blowing a square acre and
then an acre 100 rods long by one rod
wide and note the difference in time
required. Our experiments show that
more than one-third of the time of the
plowman is taken up in turning the
corners on the square acre, while there
is scarcely any appreciable loss when
the shape of the field is long and mar
row. On expensive land it does not nav
in these later days to pasture stock al
all. Experience has shown that COWS
especially can be kept as cheaply and
at the same time as healthy in the
yard on silage or soiling crops as in the
field where the interest on the money
invested in the land is taken into con.
sideration. Less fences rather than
more are called for Remember too
the fact that fences are apt to be sim.
ply places for weeds to grow: they
cost good deal to keep in repair and
are therefore constant sources of ex-
pense. When they are needed build
them. Do not fence in the garden: let
the rows Of vegetables be long and
work the ground with horses rather
than hoes. Leave the fields long and
relatively narrow to save turning with
the pillow. the cultivator. the mower
or the reaper.-Agricultural Epito-
mist.

ing reports Of the condition of the
wheat crop in the north Texas wheat
belt. President j. \. Rayzor said that
what was thought to be the Hessian
fly could be found by the millions in
the north Texas wheat belt, and he
said that from the information he had
that if the rayages were continued for
the next ten or fifteen days the crop
would be a failure.
Some farmers, he said, had already
plowed up land planted in wheat and
were putting in corn and cotton. Pres
ident Rayzor said his information was
that the insect in its embryo state was
green bug, and developed into a fly
very much like the Hessian fly.
Since that time the reports have be-
come much worse.-St. Louis Republic.

The soil in the Rocky Ford valley is
naturally adapted to the prolific
growth of the melon, and when aided
by some special fertilizing agent it's
productiyeness is considerably in
creased, thereby yielding astonishing
results.
The discovery that the Rocky Ford
section would produce the largest and
best grade of melons induced the COM
munity to form a Watermelon Grow
ers' association, which has for its OBJ
ject the cultivation of this favorite
fruit for the supply of the various east
ern and western markets.
Both in size and quality of taste the
Colorado melon is said to surpass
those from the south. The Rocky Ford
type is selection Of the oid-fashioned
Melted gem, introduced some 20 years
ago. 1t is oval shaped and brought to
its present perfection by a sort of
secret process of cultivation known
only to the Colorado growers.
One of the great occasions of the
year in Rocky Ford is the annual wa
termelon day. This occurs in the
height of the melon season, and is at
tended by hundreds of cultivators.
The melons are taken to shady grove
and arranged in piles for open compe-
titlon. After the prizes have been
awarded the fruit is cut open and a
general feast follows. This season the
Rocky Ford growers intend to pro-
duce. ifpossible. another record break
er surprising the previous one.

melon of the United States, and, in
fact, the largest ever grown. 1t was

Rocky Ford region, on the farm of for
mer State Senator Swenk.
Some idea of the enormous size of
the melon is CLEANED from the follow
Ing figures: 1t is nearly five feet in
length, three feet in circumference and
it weighs $50 pounds. The melon was
not an isolated freak, but the giant of

THE ARTICHOKE CROP.
Are beginning to Recognize
Value of the TubeRs

Artichokes should be planted in the
early spring. The land best suited to
their growth is a sandy loan, but they
may be successfully grown on any kind
of land except heavy, stiff clay. The
land should be deeply broken and har-
roWed fine, and the tubers planted in
burrows like Irish potatoes-sa fur
rows three feet apart, and the tubers
two feet apart in the rows The sets
may be cut like Irish potatoes, with
two or three good eyes left on each
piece. The crop should be cultivated
once or twice and the land kept level
On good land the stalks will grow to
height of six feet or more, and they
will thus shade the land and keep down
weeds
The crop suffers very little from
drought, and can be relied on to make
from 300 to 600 bushels to the acre on
land that will make % to so bushels of
corn TO the acre. If the land is poor.
and fertilizer is used, it should be
one having high percentage of pot
ash-say, from six to eight per cent
with six or seven per cent. of nbos.
phoric acid and two or three per cent.
of nitrogen
If more of the tubers are grown than
are needed for the hogs they will be
found an excellent feed for milking
cows, for which purpose they must be
dug or plowed out of the ground and
stored in pits or kilns like Irish pota-
toes. Seed should be saved in the same
way, by blowing up few rods be-
fore turning in the hogs The hogs
should not be turned into the crop too
early, as the tubers continue to grow
and Increase in size and quantity until
late in the fall. They are not easily
hurt By frost when left i'm the ground.
and in the south the hogs can usually
root out the crop all winter. Some
growers write us that they use the
tops as long feed for stock. but we hear
from other growers that stock will not
eat them readily
There is no fear of the crop becom-
ing troublesome weed. as some have
suggested. as it is easily killed out by
blowing the land after the tubcrs have
begun to grow in the spring. Let them
make a growth Of six or eight inches Of
stalk, then pillow the land and seed to
some other crop. and there will be no
further trouble with it.-Southern
Planter.
