Thrilling Night Scene at the Lake
Elevator.
Nowhere in North America will you
come on more thrilling night scene
than the fresh water cargo tank I'M
loading at Buffalo, says Rollin Lynde
HART in the Atlantic. Here she lies,
beneath the towering grain elevator,
which thrusts long pumping pipe
(called the lego down through her
hatchway. Mount the gangplank,
lodging the spinning ropes that make
your head reel; stumble about on the
dark deck; look down, down, down,
through the open hatch, and-zounds,
what sight! The hold CLOVIS with
electricity. 1t is misty with blown
dust. 1t roars with mechanical activ-
ity. An enormous steel Shovel big
as the inside of house, and manipu-
lated by countless flying ropes, charges
back and forth through the whole
length of the ship, pitching the yellow
grain before it, and heaping it up
where the leg can get hold of it to
whisk it into the bin that is somewhere
up in the sky! Beneath, in the hold,
an army of blue-clad men, with wooden
scoops" barely dodge the deadly
shovel as they swing the grain into its
path.

Late wheat ana Hes.lnn r1r.

the question of late sowing of wheat
to escape the Hessian fly is not one
that is entirely settled. 1t has been
thought by sowing later than certain
dates in certain ATTITUDES the danger
was avoided. Bulletins have been
published to show the dates at which
sowing of wheat could be considered
sate. But the Hessian fly has recently
SHOWN Discrimination to be controlled
even by late sowings. He has changed
his dates of attack to points where if
the wheat is sown later it will be in
more danger from winter killing than
from the Hessian fly even.
The Ohio station has just issued a
leafet on the matter, in which it gives
a resume of its experiments in early
and late sowing of wheat. In part it
says; AT Columbus, wheat sown Oc-
tober and suffered but little. In
the southern part of the state wheat
sown before October 10 was consider
ably injured, while that sown after
that date measureably escaped. 1t will
De observed that the dates of safety
~ AhNAS1IOu ny lASS6 OAp6gl-
ments are generally later than it has
heretofore been supposed to be neces-
sary to wait to avoid the fly; but in
1877 Prof. A. ]. Cook, writing of the
disastrous attack of fly in that state,
observed that destructive attack was
repeatedly observed on wheat sown as
late as Sept. 20, and Director c. D.
Smith of the Michigan Experiment
station, has reported severe injury to
wheat sown there the goth of last Sep
TENDER. 1t seems, therefore, that the
date of actual safety, in seasons of
general prevalence of this pest, is SO
late as to incur as great a risk from
winter-killing as the ordinary risk
from the fly. In case of an injurious
attack developing upon the early sown
wheat 1t should be turned under, in
order to destroy the insects and pre-
vent further attack the following
spring. The cost of turning under and
reseeding would usually be small in
comparison to the loss which would re-
suit from the fall attack and from car
rying over a host Of flies to prey upon
the crop during the spring"

which is the weighing of the coal.
