ONE OF EVHRTS' JOKES

and in the course of it remarked that
he believed the republican party need
not fear the mugwumps as the latter
were a lot of 'marsupials." Some $500
men heard the word, and after the
meeting groups got together to discuss
the meaning Of the word and it's ap-
plication. Some went home to look at
their dictionaries, while others called
on Mr.. Evarts for an explanation.
"Marsupials," said he, ARE born ex-
tremely small, imperfect and quite
helpless, and have to be carried in
pouches on the bellies of their moth
ers.'

from one bin into another. grain pests
are not likely to trouble. The benefit
will depend upon the frequency and
thoroughness Of the agitation, and in
France machines for shaking the
grain violently have been used with
success. Winnowing weeviled grain is
also an excellent preliminary treat
ment. Raising the temperature of the
grain In closed retorts or revolving
cylinders to 100 to $50 degrees F. will
kill the Enclosed insects II continued
for from three to five hours, but is apt
to tnjure the germ, and is not advised
in case of feed stock. The simplest,
cheapest and most effectual remedy is
the use of bisulphide of carbon.
Bisulphide of Carbon.-This is COL
orless liquid with very offensive odor,
which, however, passes off completely
in short time. It readily volatilizes
and the vapor, which is very deadly
to insect life. is heavier than air and
settles and fills any compartment or
bin in the top of which the liquid is
placed. 1t 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 gas
pipe loosely plugged at one end, down
which the liquid may be poured and
the plug then loosened with a 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 it will be necessary to
cover the mover with 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
thorough airing should be given
them. Limited quantities at a 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 1 pound to the ton of grain, or a
pound to cubic space 10 feet on a
side.

Ringing Grape Vines.

The practice of ringing grape vines
has been tested to some extent by the
New York Agricultural Experiment
Station. Two vineyards were under
experiment in different parts Of the
state and the vines in each were
hinged for two years. In one vine
yard, trained upon the two arm Knit
fin system, both arms were ringed be-
yond the fifth bud; and in the other
vineyard, using the renewal system
OF training, the arms were ringed be-
yond the renewal bud. In both or
chards very marked differences in ia
vor Of the fruit on ringed arms was
noticed with such varieties as Empire
State. Concord. Niagara, Geneva and
Catawba, the punches and berries be-
ing larger and more compact and rip
ening earlier. In most cases, however.
especially with higher favored varie-
ties like Delaware, the quality was in
jured; and the grapes which naturally
show tendency to crack, like Wor-
den, were worse in this respect on
rlnged vines. The renewal system
seems best adapted to this practice.
but its adoption or rejection is a cues

Onion Growing.

There Is good deal of complaint
among farmers and gardeners about
being unable to secure a 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 plantg 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 seed-bed
by blowing 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
we'll 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 a 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 never be
permitted to grow in the onion bed
and the surface of the soil should be
kept loose and mellow with the hoe or
hand cultivator. Onions are easily
grown and with good care will yield
good crop in almost all parts of Ok
lahoma.-Oklahoma Experiment Sta

Keep Insects Away.

1t is a well-established principle that
it is much easier to ward off an attack
of insects or to make conditions un-
favorable for their multiplication than
to destroy them after they are once in
possession; and in controlling them
methods and systems of farm and
orchard culture have long been recog-
nized as of the greatest value, more
so even than the employment of in
secticides, which, in most cases, can
only stop an injury already begun
Insects thrive on neglect, multiply
best in land seldom or never cult
waited, and winter over in rubbish,
prunings or the undisturbed soil about
their food plants. and become, under
these conditions, more numerous every
year. 1t is a fact of common observa-
ton that it is the neglected farm, vine
yard or orchard filled with weeds or
wild growth which is certain to be
stocked with all the principal insect
enemies; and, on the other hand, thor
ough and constant culture, with the
removal and burning of prunings,
stubble, and other waste, the collec-
ton and destruction Of fallen and dis
eased fruit, and the practice, where
possible, of fall blowing to disturb the
alternating quarters of field insects,
will almost certainly be accompanied
by comparative immunity from insect
pests.

How often do theory and practice
clash. Not long ago Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon, a Kansas sensation who is
now being forgotten, wrote book in
which, with masculine logic. he
solved the servant girl problem. Now
trouble has arisen in the Topeka home
of the Sheldons because the maid of all
work, having read the book written by
the head of the household, insisted OIL
being treated as a social equal and
having her place at the family table
according to the teachings Of the vol
ume Because she insisted she lost her
place. 1t is now up to Mr.. Sheldon to
revise his book. and perhaps in the re-
vision he will consult Mrs. Sheldon.

The golf enthusiasts do not pos
cess quite all the earth but they are
putting forward a claim to large
share of it. Van TasseI Sutphen. the
editor of Golf" the official periodi-
cal Of the sport. says that golf is soon
to be our national game. He says
that there are now, in round numbers.
1000 regularly organized clubs i'm the
country. as against 900 in 1900. and a
fair average membership would be
$50. or a total Of 10000 golfers. The
few in number. although golf in public
links is becoming more and more Of a
popular sport. New York has the
largest number of CLUBS. 1854: Massa-
Chusetts comes next with 15S. Idaho
and Indian Territory stand alone in
having no golf organizations of any
kind. No accurate estimate has ever
been made of the money invested in
gdlfing property. the amounts rang
ing from 100000 and odd to few
hundred dollars. Counting the value
of the land SIC, 1000, 900 should not be too
high a guess. Probably $4,000 members
of the various golf clubs play the game
more or less regularly. With the club
dues. the average yearly expenditure
for golf is at least SIS. or total of
fS.3I5. 0o0 Five million dollars, he
suggests. is nearer the mark

The boom for Chief Justice Fuller
for the presidency in 1904. unkindly
started by some ver-zealous friend in
Illinois. is not to be taken too seriously.
When the next president is inaugu-
rated Mr. Fuller will be past his I'D
birthday. putting him quite out OF the
question on the score of age alone.
Maine is proud of this distinguished
son and duly appreciates the fact that
he is of presidential caliber, but does
MT expect to see him win other or
higher honors than those of his present
position. The experience Of supreme
court justices in seeking presidential
honors has not been at all encouraging.
