Average Pay of Methodist Preachers

The Ohio experiment station is re-
ceiving letters indicating an extensive
outbreak of chinch bugs in certain
parts Of the state. The following rem
edy, the formula Of Professor Forbes
of Illinois, is therefore offered:
"Dissolve one-half pound hard or soft
soap in one gallon of water and heat to
the boiling point. Remove from the
stove and add two gallons of coal oil,
churning the mixture with a good force
pump for 10 minutes. When the emul-
sion is formed, it will look like butter
milk.
"To each quart of this emulsion add
10 quarts Of water and apply to the
corn in a spray, preferably before 10
a. III. or after 3 p. II. The bugs should
be washed off so that they will float in
the emulsion at the base Of the plant.
A teacupful to a hill is generally sutti-
cient, but the quantity must vary with
the number of bugs infesting the corn"
The progress Of these bugs through
a field may be obstructed by making a
shallow, V shaped trench with the cor
ner Of a hoe and filling it with coal tar,
the tar to be renewed in two or three
days They may also be destroyed by
plowing them under and narrowing
and rolling.

There are certain kinds Of wood that
are too hard to burn, or refuse to ignite
for some other reason, such as iron
wood and the good brier root but it is
a curiosity to come across a piece Of
common deal-the soft, light wood Of
which so many boxes are made-that
cannot be set fire to.
The piece Of wood in question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for its comparative
weight. 1t had formed part Of a boat
belonging to a whalcr and had been
dragged below the surface of the wa
ter to the deplh of more than half a
mile by a harpooncd whale. The
length Of line and the short distance
from the point Of descent after being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was u proof Of the depth to
which it had dragged the boat
Only part Of the boat came up again
at the end of the line, and it was taken
on board when the whale had been
killed That piece of wood was so
hard that it would not burn in a gas

ANrHRACNosED BEAN PODS.

a prominent, if not the chief, means OF
tiding over the inactive or winter sea-
son. The same is doubtless true with
bacteriosis.
1t has been shown that soaking the
seed in fungicides, while destructive to
the fungus is not always without i'll
effect upon the seed itself. Expert
ments differ upon this point, and fur
ther investigations are here needed.
There is only one opinion as to the
desirability of discarding all diseased
seed before planting and using only
that which is mature and healthy.
This is strongly urged.
1t has been demonstrated through
seven consecutive years of beans upon
the same land, two crops each season,
that the anthracnose is checked by
fungicides. The same is true Of the
bacteriosis. The bordeaux mixture has
proved Of substantial value as a rem
edy for bean mildew.
While the experimental sprayings
have been at intervals Of ten days, it
is not recommended that they be more
than three in number for the ordinary
wax sorts For pole varieties or any
that require the whole season spray
ings once in three weeks would per-
maps be most prontaUIe, ana yet ,ne
distribution of the drcnching rains
should determine the times of the ap-
plications.
1t was shown that old spotted pods
when used as mulch greatly increased
the disease upon the area thus covered.
All such refuse, whether of pods or
stems and leaves, should be burned.
A rotation Of crops is desirable from
the standpoint of freedom from dis
ease, but It has been demonstrated
that with frequent spraying beans may
be grown with profit indefinitely upon
the same land.
The leading points in bean growing
are: First, TO have strong, healthy seed
Of the least susceptible growing; sec
ond, planted not too close or deep;
third, In rich, well drained soil, and
fourth, spray with bordeaux or its

FOLLOWED THE LEADER.
A Case Where Naval Cadets Turned
Discipline Into IL Joke.

Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend Brady in his Under
Tops'ls and Tents" published by Scrib
ners, IS this:
1t is related that a large number Of
naval cadets were negligent in follow
ing the service in the chapel, which was
after the ritual of the Episcopal
church. An incautious officer in charge
on Sunday morning made a little ad-
dress to the church party on the sub
ject, saying he supposed that some of
them erred through ignorance, but II
they would observe him carefully and
do as he did-in military parlance, fol-
low the motions Of the commanding Of
ticcr-they would not go wrong.
Word was passed quietly through the
battalion. They marched into the
church. The officer in charge took his
place in the front pew, settled himself
in his seat and calmly blew his nose.
Three hundred noses were blown 81
multancousIy with yehcmence that
was startling. The officer looked around
and blushel violently in great surprise.
Three hundred heads followed the mo-
tions Of the commanding officer" Six
hundred cheeks violently tried to blush,
n hard thing to for a midshipman to do,
and 50 on through the service.
The man could not stir without in
stant imitation. lie finally confined
himself strictly to the prescribed rit-
ual Of the service, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, not daring to
raise a finger or breathe out of the or
dinary course This enterprise also
was startling success.
The cadets received other instructions
later in the day from a furious officer
who stcrnIy resented their innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not
and that he had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on differ
cnt plane from saying his prayers. IL
was a huge joke everywhere.

The hole for n tree should be made

The seeds Of nearly all forest trees

For the finest flowers SOW pansy seed

through the winter, and you will be
well rewarded.
The sweet william is a biennial, but
will sow their own seeds and come up
year after year, as do hollyhocks, thus
making them practically perennials.
One of the handsome perennials that
flower in July is the digitalis, which
has long spikes of blue thimble shaped
flowers. 1t makes a striking clump.
The principal advantage in fall sow
ing Of flower seeds is that the plants
grow stronger, root deeper and flower
earlier and longer than those from
spring soWn seed.

bic fruits TO plant. 1t is inexpensive to

GRAIN SHRlNkAGE.
What Wheat, Corn and Oats Lose by
Storuge--The Corncob.

Wheat f1uctuates in weight according
to the dryncss Of the air. The extent
of this variation under ordinary condt-
tions does not exceed per cent, but
where the grain is taken from an in
tensely dry climate to a comparatively
damp one the gain may amount to %
per cent.
Oats stored in the fall lost in one
instance over per cent by the follow
ing May, less than > per cent in the sec
ond instance and exactly , per cent in
the third and in fourth lost but seven
pounds in 100 bushels.
Corn, when the entire plant is stored
in the silo, suffers a very considerable
loss in weight. AS an average of four
tests this loss amounted to $50 per
cent. In other cases the loss varied
from 1457 to 20.36 per cent.
When the entire plant is cured in the
field. subsequent variations in weight
are determined by the dryness of the
air. At the Connecticut station, where
273G tons of corn We're cut Sept. into
shocks. hauled to the barn later and
stored for fodder, the gross weight
was but S tons. on Feb. S following
the weight was 10 tons. In duplicate
test 25.5 tons of green corn weighed but
81 tons on Nov. II and gained TO 80
tons by Feb. s.
When the corn is husked in the field,
the loss Of weight suffered by the ears
depends on their condition when hauled
to the crib. Very damp corn cribbed
early in October shrunk in weight 30
Der cent by the middle Of February,
while dry corn cribbed Oct q had
shrunk by the last Of January IL per
cent. In another case corn very dry
when hauled shrunk by New Years 5
less than per cent. At the Iowa sta
ton the loss in an entire year was ~
Dor cent In one case and per cent in
another.
/ The relation between the weights or
kernels and cob does not stay constant
as the ears dry. When first husked,
fully % per cent Of the weight Of the
ears lies in the cob. BY spring less than
/ 90 per cent of the weight OF the ear Is
in the cob. An elaborate set of expert
ments at HOughton farm showed that
the shelIed corn lost in weight but
about 7.45 per cent from October to
March. while the cobs lost fully 36 per
cent-D. c. Smith, Michigan Station.
