Fall Web Worm Easily Destroyed.

From midsummer to early autumn,
the conspicuous, unsightly webs of tue
fall web worm are to be seen on a great
variety Of fruit, shade and ornamental
trees. These webs are made by small
worms, which hatch from egga laid on
the leaves early in summer by white
moths. Beneath the tents the worms
feed upon the leaves, eating off the sur
face, but not the veins. They are,
when young, of a pale yellow color,
sparsely covered with hairs, aud have a
black head and two rows OF black marks
upon the body. They grow quite rapid
ly. and enlarge their web as they de-
velop. BY the time they are full grown,
single lot of them will destroy the
foliage Of a good-sized branch, making
it very conspicuous on account of the
webby covering.
When the feeding period is finished
the larvae leave their nests and descend
to the ground. where, just beneath the
surface, or under some suitable shelter
above the surface, they spin slight silkeu
cocoous, within which they transform
In the more Northern States there is
but one brood per year, but further
south there are two, If done in time,
it is an easy matter to cut of the webs
and burn or crush the larvae. This
should be done as soon as the webs are
seen. This is the simplest and most
effective remedy.

Effect Of Potash on Hay Crops.

The Hatch experiment station reports
that upon two plots Of land fertilized
with thirty pounds Of nitrate of soda
thirty pounds of dried blood. 371 pounds
Of dry ground fish, 27s pounds acid phos-
plate and 37 pounds muriate of potash
to one-fourth acre, one yielded 1850
pounds at first crop and 125 pounds of
rowen, the other 1850 pounds at first
crop and 125 pounds of rowen. Com
bined this was at the rate Of $500 pounds
first crop, 500 pounds rowen per acre.
Two similar plots had of nitrate of soda,
dry ground fish and acid phosphate per
plot and 623 pounds muriate of potash
The yield of one was 1850 pounds at
first crop and 260 pounds rowen, and
l46O pounds Of FIRST crop and 255
pounds Of rowen, or at the rate OF $40
pounds per acre Of first crop and 1850
pounds Of rowen. The cost on the two
frst-named plots for fertilizer exceeded
by 81 per acre that on the plots which
yielded the larger crops. This and the
fact that clover was most abundant
where the potash was used, would seem
to indicate that an increase of potash up
to $50 pounds per acre is more desirable
for the hay crop than an increase of
nitrogen or phosphoric acid, while the
clover sod is expected to make the land
better fitted for future crops The fer
iiliEer used for previous crops had been
practically equal.

Poultry Notes,

Have a good house and yard for fowls.
The best breeds will not be profitable
If they are mismanaged.
Clean out the coops often Gfth is
unhealthy at any season of the year.
Chicks should be furnished place to
roost as soon as they are half grown.
Poultry is the cheapest and most
economical and best meat raised on the
farm.
One advantage of starting with eggs
rather than fowls. in securing a good
breed, is that the risk of loss is lessened
Coarse food promotes digestion and
helps to keep the fowls in healthy con-
dition. Feed as much of it as possible.
Green-cut bone is excellent for the
fowls, as they enjoy it, but care should
be taken to see that the bones are fresh
Make few good dust baths by dig
ging up little space near the runs ;
then dump on pan Of ashes, and the
lice will have hard time, while the chicks
will do better.
Leaves and dry earth make an excel
lent combination on the floor Of the poul.
try house. Dry earth absorbs and dis.
infects, while the leaves make scratch.
ing material for the fowls.
Do not simply throw the water out oil
the drinking vessels and put in fresh
water, but wash the vessels thoroughly
every time you change water.
An experienced farmer poultryman
says that the best way to keep poultry
droppiDgs is to put them in barrel and
keep them slightly moist, using dish
water or soapsuds where available.

Feeding Tests,

The Vermont Experiment Station re-
ports that in their feeding tests for dairy
cows they had per cent less milk and
butter when they omitted eusilage from
the ration than when they were feeding
it. The dry matter in the food was
calculated to be the same in both cases.
The quality of the milk was the same
but almost without exception the milk
flow. and change from ensilage to hay de-
creased the milk flow, aud a change
from hay to ensilage increased it. With
hay at $40 per ton and ensilage SO per
ton. replacing one-third of the hay with
ensilsge caused a gain of l 2.3 cents
per day for each COW Warming water
up to 80 degrees did not increase the
milk flow or the butter yield, nor we're

afternoon at the Young Mems Repub
lican Club, for the purpose Of con
sidering u proposition to amend the
party rules so as to permit county Office
holders to succeed themselves. In def
erence to the wishes of some of tho
personssinterestcd, one of the members
offered such an amendment, but it was
overwhelmingly defeated.
Levy Court Commissioner Megginson
was one Of the chief opponents. He
made u speech in which he favored
rotation. liz said ono term would be
enough for him and he beloved there
were plenty Of good men in the district
who would be willing to succeed him.
He thought the plan OF giving man
only one term was good one. He
WIS continually coached by others at
the meeting, and the sentiment he ex-
pressed appeared to DO almost uuani-
nous, and it is said that only one
person voted in favor of the amend
ment.
After the business in hand had been
disposed Of there was u general dis
cussion as to the outlook for the APP
preaching campaign. Asyet, itappears,
there is no indication OF a compromise
with the Union Republicans in any
part of the State.

THE LOST CREEK DISASTER
Worst Explosion Experienced
in History of Iowa.
q WERE KILLED AND II HURT
Some of the Bodies Terribly
Mangled.


Lost Creek, Ia, Jan. o. Twenty
one dead bodies were today taken from
the improvised morgue in shaft No
2 of the Lost Creek Coal Mining Co
of this place as the result Of the worst
| mine disaster experienced in the his
tory of Iowa. When brought to the
surface, they presented horrible sight.
Some Of the bodies were terribly
mangled, and could only he identified
by some trinket found in the pockets.
The II injured are improving, and no
additional deaths are anticipated
Coroner Foehlinger of Oskaloosa is
holding an inquest to determine who
is to blame for the disaster. The
trouble was caused by an explosion of
dust ignited by shot too heavily
charged. 1t proved TO he what miners
call a screamer. y To be more clear,
the shot, when exploded, instead of
knocking down the coal fires straight,
cut into the room. This kind of shot
causes much dust, and the flames
coming into contact with the dust
usually furnishes nm explosion.
In the accident, which occurred yes
terday, the effect was simply terrific.
The tracks were torn up, and the guides
for the cages were blown away. On
this account, they could not be operated
for three hours. The fans were also
damaged, and could not be used to
yentilate the mine Immediately. All
the entry doors were blown completely
out, and no system of ventilation could
be arranged until the doors were re-
placed by volunteers. and il was almost
certain death to go into the mine.
As soon as the cages could he oper-
ated, volunteers speedily stepped for
ward. The first man to enter the mine
was Jap Timhrell, general superintend-
ent of the mine. He was eagerly fol
lowed by many others, who took their
| turns in going to the relief Of the vic
tins.
As soon as the mine was fully eX-
plored, p dead bodies were found
| Coroner Fohelinger of Oslsaloosa had
| the bodies removed this morning to the
company's store, about imle distant.
| Here an improvised morgue was estab-
| lished and the bodies were wrapped in
| blankets
The Lost Creek mine, where the
accident occurred, was about 10 miles
south and one mile east of Oskaloosa
and three miles northeast of Eddyville.
1t is owned by the Lost Creek Coal
and Mining Co., of which C. E..
Laughlin, H. L. Spencer, JEFF Tim
brell, +. Il. Green and o. S. Ellis are
the chief stockholders The property
has been successfully operated mum
be of years. No. 2 shaft, where the
accident occurred, had been operated
about lS months, and was thought to
| he perfectly safe. The ventilation was
good, the only fault ever found being
that at times the atmosphere became
somewhat dusty.

scope, instead of being limited to the
country south Of the Ohio River.
President Roosevelt will be asked to
furnish the subject matter for the con
test. This will require composition
of nearly $50 words, as it is the inten-
tion to have the test continue for five
minutes.
The executive committee has named
an honorary committee, consisting of
the following: Andrew Carnegie,

Believes tntoxication Among Fashionable
Women "a increasing.
New York Herald January 10Th,
The Rt. Rev. leighton Coleman,
bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
Delaware, in % sermon on "Intemrer-
ance," in New Brunswick, N. j.,
last night, declared that while there is
Il grateful decline in intemperance
among men, there is an alarming in
crease of intoxication among brilliant
and cultured women, those belonging
to the so called better classes
"There are various sorts of in
temperance, said Bishop Coleman.
There may be intemperance of speech,
OF eating, of sleeping, of work, and of
so-called recreation. But in intern
perance in the use of liquor, intoyica-
tion is the most common and most
baneful..
The character of the victims as a
rule is not that of the fool or idiot I;
the devil has no use for such to serve
his purpose, 1t is the clever man and
woman alas, that have to include
in this category women but it is true
that of late there has been an improve
ment as far as men are concerned, but
! believe that there is today a growing
dlllpunb VI lHbOAlcdtlOll uinullS WOHlen
in our land.
"a short time ago, +" he continued,
II addressed meeting of lending
society women in New York City, when
| made that statement A leading
newspaper made IA careful investigation
and sent me a copy of their publication
which contained the result 1t proved
that my statement was literally correct
as far as New York City is concerned.
! am sorry to say that ii appertains
to women and to mothers, particularly
those who have the care and instruction
of our future men and women. 1t is
sad outlook when mothers are not liy-
ing in soberness and chastity.
Drink finds shining marks among
brilliant mon and women, who except
for this fault are ut once recognized
among the leading people of this
land kind, obliging and competent.
1t seems like mocltery to think or
speak of them us inehriates Drink
has robbed both the State and the
church of men and women. ?
DIR. Coleman advocated temperance
teaching in the home and the church
as cure for the evil.
