fore their advance the unfortunate
farmers are well-nigh helpless. The
plague arrives, and To- as if by magic
the crops are swept from the face Of
the earth.
AS for the "hoppers, they sow
their own crop, planting in one season
the eggs which are to be hatched in
the next. The female drills a hole
in the ground with the horny tip of
her abdomen and in this she lays
about 20 eggs, which are bound to-
gether in a mass with mucus excreted
by the mother insect. The burrow is
filed up with mucus which makes it
watertight.
The farmer knows that his best
chance is to destroy the unmatched
eggs, and this he tries to do in var
ious ways, the most effective perhaps
being to slice off an inch of the top
soil, dry it and pass it through sievss
to separate the egg masses, which are
buried in deep pits. In the wheat
growing regions burning machines,
which are open CRATES on runners,
filled with lighted pitch pine, are
drawn by horses across the fields,

A Bear Story.

An old Indian named Philip Adolph
was going on foot across the mountains
to visit relatives in Carson. B. g., and
was accompanied by his son and cur
dog. The latter treed silver tip bear
of unusual size, and the Indian wanted
it's hide and incidentally some bear
steak. But his rifle was in his t0pee,
four miles away. Now bruin will stay
up a tree SO long as dog sits at the
bottom. So Phillip tried to persuade
his son to return for the rife while he
and the dog kept watch. But the boy
was afraid. Neither would he remain
on guard while the senior Siwash went
for his gun. Finally the old Indian
lost all patience; and, seizing the boy
bound him to the base of the tree with
both arms clasping it and left him
there.
When the bear attempted to descend
the boys screams drove him back up
the tree and there he remained for
two hours until the Indian returned
with his rife, released his son and laid
in a supply of bear meat.

Poetic Justice.

A Jerseyman who went out for a
pleasure drive with his sweetheart not
long ago received needed, though
rather severe, lesson on the necessity
of being humane to animalsin this day
and generation. 1t was very hot
day, and when the drive was about
half over the horse became balky. The
driver thereupon lost his temper and
gave the animal an unmerciful beating
Then the trouble began. a constable
saw him and promptly arrested him
for cruelty to animals. He was un-
able to pay the money and his COM
panion settled the business for him.
Then she went home and wrote him a
note, and this is what it said:
"When a man will so brutally beat
a horse aDd so easily lose his temper,
a woman marrying him would take
the chance of the same treatment. "
And the rest Of the note released
him from the engagement.

Get Ready by September 18th.

Prepare to meet your God Septem-
Der IS, for on that day He will surely
destroy the world"
This is the warning that josiah Car
now is sounding. He has arrived at
the conclusion, after careful study
of the books of Daniel and Isaiah, that
the world is to end next month.
The drought prevailing throughout
the West is said by Carnow to be
forerunner of the terrible destruction
which is to be visited upon the world
He says that the temperature will
continue to get few degrees higher
each day until the entire world will
ignite and be consumed.
Carnow is a prosperous farmer llv-
ing a few miles south of Omaha. He
is a Seventh Day Adventist and many
persons belonging to that sect share
his opinions.
When asked by neighbOrs to ex-
plain why he is caring for his corn
and other crops if he expects them to
be burned up, CarnOw said that he
wanted to die workisg, and would
not cease his labors until the heat be-
came so oppressive that he is unable
to leave home. Then he will devote
the remaining hours Of his life in max
ing peace with his Creator.

The Baby's Wrongs.

Of all the many victims OF popular
prejudice and perversity the baby is
most frequent and the most pathetic,
says Health Culture. 1t would seem
that in his treatment everything that
should be done is omitted, while those
things that should be omitted are en-
ergetically attended to. The soft,
spongy body, with its delicate flesh
and cartilaginous bones, should be free
to expand in growth or in breathing.
But from the first hour of his birth
the swelling ribs are crushed tightly
together and compressed against the
heart, lungs and stomach by the cruel
belly-band. We hear much about the
evil effects of the corset, but the dam
age done by the corset is nothing com
pared to the evil effects Of the belly
band.
Then the little body must have air.
But the perverse attendants cover the
child with many thicknesses Of clothes
so that neither can the perspiration
escape nor can the oxygen getin. And
the little body must have exercise.
In order to be well the tiny limbs
must be hourished and the feeble lit
tie body must squirm. But in most
cases neither parents. nurse nor, alas,
even the doctor realize this. So the
baby is carefully tucked" in between
many blankets, even the arms being
kept under, lest he "catch cold.
The baby needs air, the pure, free
air of out Of doors. Even with the
poor little pinched lungs he may live
if he gets pure air. But he, sleeps in
cradle, nisely covered up, with veil
over his face and perhaps another
thrown over the cradle.
Then the feeding Of all the sins
against the innocent the overfeeding
is the worst. He is fed every two
hours. Why every two hours and not
every half hour no one knows. The
one would be as logical as the other.
The baby is fed every two hours. Of
course his little stomach cannot posi-
bly, digest its meal and get ready for
another in that period, so one meal Is
thrust into the stomach on top Of the
former half,digested meal. There the
whole mass promptly ferments. Then
the baby is thirsty oftentimes. But
he seldom gets water. Many babies
never get water, and suffer contin-
ually from what psychologists call
"tissue drouth.
So here are few of the hardships
of the helpless little stranger in land
of cruel, ignorant but energetic giants.
He should be free they bind HIM.
He needs air they smother him. He
needs but little food and much water;
they stuff him, often against his will,
with improper food and deprive him
Of water. He would be quiet they
jounce and toss and pat and "iiggIe"
him.

Passing Of the Wild Horse.

1t is said that there were at least
100000 mustangs scattered over the
plains of Arizona, New Mexico and
Texas, ten years ago, and that now
nearly all of them are gone. A few
were caught and kept by the Indians
in their reservations, but the wild
horse, in his natural state, is practical
ly extinct. Three causes are assigned
for this First, the better horse Of the
east, cheapened by the trolley car,the
automobile and the bicycle, could be
bought at moderate price and the
mustang was shot by the stockmen as
a useless consumer Of pasturage; Sec
ond, that the breed deteriorated and
naturally died out and thlrd-heaven
save the mark they were shot and
made into canned beef" The ranch
men now breed and raise high grade
horses, and find ready market for
them, not only in the eastern States,
butin England and Germany for army
use. The western climate makes them
hardy, long-winded and speedy.
