cheapest and most s6ectual remedy u
the use Of bisulphide Of carbon.
Bisulphide Of carbon.-This il . col
orless liquid with very offensive odor.
which. however. passes OF completely
in short time. It readily volatilizes
and the vapor, which II very deadly
to insect life. Is heavier than air and
settles and nils any compartment or
bin In the top of which the liquid ID
placed. It may be distributed In shall
low dishes or tins or in saturated
waste on the top Of grain in bins. and
the gas will settle and permeate
throughout the mass OF the grain. In
large bins. to hasten and eQualize the
operation, 1t is well to put quantity
OF the bisulphide in the center Of the
grain by thrusting in balls of cotton
or waste tied to stick and saturated
with the liquid. or by means of a gas
pipe loosely plugged at one end, down
which the liquid may be poured and
the plug then loosened with rod.
Prof. H. e. Weed reports that in Mis-
sissippi the chemical is commonly
poured directly onto the grain. In mod
erately tight bins no further precaution
than to close them we'll need be taken.
but In open bins 1t will be necessary to
cover the mover with a blanket to
prevent the too rapid dissipation OF
the vapor. The bins or buildings
should be kept closed from twenty
four to thirty-six hours, after which
a thorough airing should be given
them. Limited quantities at time
may often be advantageously subject
ed to treatment in small bins before
being placed for long storage in large
masses. and especially whenever there
is danger OF introducing infested grain.
The bisulphide Is applied at the rate
Of ! pound to the ton Of grain. or a
pound to cubic space 10 feet on a
side. yfsf ee

Onion Growing.


There is a good deal OF complaint
being unable to secure good stand of
onions by planting the seed Onion
seed deteriorates very rapidly with age
and only that of the last seasons crop
should be used. The sprouting seeds
and young plants are very easily killed
by drouth and some method of plant
ing must be followed that will carry
the young plants over the dry weather.
A simple and quite effective way of
planting is to prepare a good seedbed
by plowing the land in the fall or early
winter. Smooth down the surface with
harrow or similar tool Drill the
seed in rows about fifteen inches apart,
placing the seed about one inch below
the surface of the soil. Firm the soil
well on the seed by walking on the
rows or some similar method; then
cover lightly with loose soil. This
method. although simple. has never
failed to give good stand Of onions
at the Experiment Station at Still
water. AS soon as the plants are three
or four inches high they should be
thinned to three inches apart in the
row. Weeds and grass should nevsr be
permitted to grow In the onion bed
and the surface Of the soil should be
kept loose and mellow with the hoe OF
hand cultivator. Onions are easily
grown and with good care will yield
a good crop in almost all parts Of Ok
lahoma.-Oklahoma Experiment Sta

Trainmen in some parts Of South
Dakota have new difficulty to sur
mount in the shape Of vast masses of
Russian thistles which collect in drifts
on the tracks. The weeds are blown
into cuts, where they become inter-
woven SO closely that sometimes trains
are delayed for hours. The locomo-
tives might push their way Through

slippery through the crushing OF the
cay hber and seeds. the wheels refus-

The work OF originating new vari-
eties Of apples goes on. and the eradi-
cation of the poor ones Is a parallel
process. New apples are constantly
being imported and some are proving
good. The constant revision of the
fruit lists is work that is bound to
have q very beneficial result. On this
point Professor Lazenby says: 1T Is
interesting to note that during past
years the list OF apples worthy Of cul-
uvation frst increased and then de-
creased. In 1891 It comprised s3s va
rieties. In 1899 II had decreased to
800. Quite number Of varieties have
been stricken on. and OF course some
new ones have been added. There is
another thing that is OF some interest,
that is the varieties that originated In
foreign countries, have increased pro-
portionally. In 1891. out OF the S39
varieties that were recommended, %
originated in foreign countries. In
other words, all but % originated in
this country. Now in 1899. OF the 800
that are recommended, 49 OF them were
OF foreign origin. or these. % are from

We have heard about the benefits OF
keeping poultry in plum orchards. but
the practice should not be too much
relied on. Other means must be used
to hold In check the insects. Certain
ly II the fowls are to be depended on
to any extent for this work they must
be assisted by having the trees shaken
Tor them. Even then the birds have
to be educated to pick up the insects.
and II man shakes down the curcu-
lios without having first given the
chicks proper instruction he may be
disappointed in seeing the insects re-
main on the ground untouched. At a
meeting OF the Ohio Horticultural So
ciety. Professor Green said: Il know a
great many think that the mere pres
ence of chickens in the plum orchard
may save the plums, but i do.'t know
how they can get the curculio unless
they climb the trees, and they won't
DO that. You have got to teach the
chickens to pick up the curculio. by
throwing little grain around frst.
and when you shake the trees they
soon learn what they are and pick
them up"
Market peculiarities have to be met
and their demands satisfied. The man
that sells apples should always sort
them. for he will ind a reader market
for the different sizes II sorted than II
cold together. No one appears to fan
cy a lot Of little and big apples in the
same lot Buyers are governed by diff
ierent motives in their purchases.
Some well-to-do buyers want a uni
form lot of large apples OF good color.
and will pay an advanced price for
them. But many people prefer apples
OF medium size or below providing
they are well-colored. This is espe-
cially true of the heads OF families OF
children. where apples are purchased
In Quantities OF peck at time. A
peck OF big apples is soon used up.
while peck OF medium sized or small
apples will last longer and give the
children more satisfaction. The pur-
chasers OF these apples prefer them
even a, the same price they might
have to pay for the large ones. An
other very large class Of people pur-
chase small apples. They are the
keepers Of boarding houses and hotels.
and the purchases by these people are
very large in quantity. The boarding
house keeper knows that. as general
thing. each guest will eat only one
apple whether large or small. and As
matter OF economy the small fruit
is purchased. These things show the
necessity for sorting all fruit like
apples.

SCORES COY, DURBLN.

Gov. j. @. W. Beckham, of Kentucky , has
addressed to Gov. w. T. Durbin of Indiana,
a letter replying TO the crit cism by that Ex

lucky 10 his recent letter refusing 10 honor
the requisition for ex-Gov. W. S. Taylor
and Charles Finley, wanted for alleged com
plicity In the assassination of Gov William
Goebel.
He severely arraigns Governor Durbin
for the latters refusal, charging that by his
action he has violated his oath of Office to
support the Constitution of the United States,
and that he became "a party after the fact to
the most Infamous crime 10 the history OF
this State, the cold blooded and dastardly
murder of an eminent and distinguished
citizen of Kentucky"
The Kentucky Executive also charges
that Governor Durbn's action in refusing
was the result of a political bargain made
before his election 10 office. He character

the courts and officials of Kentucky as "slan-

Governor Beckham takes the stand that
the Governor of a State has no discretion
airy power, but only ministerial power, in
the honoring of legally drawn acquisitions
from other States. 1t is said that steps will
shortly be taken In the courts TO compel
Governor Durbin by mandsmus to honor
the acquisitions.
