Shortly before the late war in China the
Russo Chinese bank had an agreement with
the Chinese officials that all Russian goods
coming through Manchuria were to pay
onc-third less import duties than were paid
by foreign goods landing at the seaports,
and it was then the idea to reduce export
duties one-third IN favor of Russia. Wheth-

WHEAT STEM MAGGOT.
Emerge getfc PrecautiOn Must Be Taken or This Destructive Pest Will
 Greatly Increase.

The wheat stem maggot, or, as it is sometimes called, the wheat bulb worm, has proved to be rather a scri- ous pest in some localities, ard we apprehend that some precaution must be taken or it will greatly in crease, says the Iowa Homestead. It's presence may be easily detected in crop. When the maggot form of the insect enters the stalk it cuts off the stem just above the upper joint, with the result that the head takes on rlpened appearance while the crop is yet green.
 It seems to be more plentiful where both winter and spring wheat are grown in the same locality. In this case the mature insects with
Woodruff County news., 1902-10-23

wings deposit their eggs upon the young plants of winter wheat. When these hatch, the larvae feed upon the central part of the plants on their course downward. They remain dur ing the winter in the surface of the ground and appear in the spring in the adult form. These in turn lay their eggs upon spring wheat plants and cause the destruction of such plants as they feed upon. However, the devastation of the first brood in the spring is seldom noticed. It is the second brood of flies whose progeny brings about the work of destroying the wheat beds. It is claimed that even a third brood makes its appearance and again de- posits it's eggs upon young wheat. It is our opinion that grasses will fur nish fne necessary breeding ground just IS well as winter wheat.
 The accompanying illustration shows portions of two heads of wheat that have been affected by the insect, as we'll as the pupa and larva form and mature condition of the in- sect. These are magnifed, and con ception of the real size may be ob- tained by the little character placed beside each figure, which indicates their exact length.
 The available remedies for this in- sect are preventive rather than cura- tive. Wheat should not be grown continuously on the same soil, and, indeed, long rotation should be in- troduced in which there are a variety of crops. We have known many per sons who were troubled with this pest to burn their stubble, thinking in this way that they brought about the destruction of large numbers. Fortunately there is fungous dis ease that attacks this maggot and fly so that there is some likelihood of it's rapid increase being prevented.

In 1899 The Sangerlust celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary with large cele- bration in New York City. The follow ing is his testimony:
 About two years ago I caught se- we're cold while travelling and which settled into catarrh of the bronchial tubes, and so affected my voice that I was obliged to cancel my engagements In distress was advised to try Peruna, and although had never used a patent medicine before, sent for bottle.
 'Words but lily describe my surprise to find that within a few days l was greatly relieved, and within three weeks I was entirely recovered. I am never without it now, and take an oc- casional dose when l feel run down." Julian Weisslitz.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Peru na write at once to Dr. Hartman, giv- ing a full statement of your case and he will be pleased. to give you his valu- able advice gratis.

Wholesale Chicken Picking

The modern methods of chicken pick ing are interesting. The chicken is captured by means of a hook on a long stick and sharp knife stuck into its mouth reaches the brain and causes instant death. The penetration of the brain causes the feathers to relax and they are easily picked dry. An average worker can pick about 125 chickens a day. Feathers soiled by blood and wa ter are used for farm fertilizers: col ored feathers are used in the manufac- ture of featherbone whips, while the white ones are mixed with duck feath- era for pillows.

Neat looking houses, barns and other buildings de- note thrift and good management, while dilapidated weather-worn structures give the place an air of neglect or poverty, according to the degree of decay. If farmer cares nothing for looks, he should keep his buildings well painted, because it is good business to do so. Good paint, in convenient form for use, is now put up and sold at reasonable prices. Anyone with sufficient en- ergy to rub the paint well into the weather checks, and interest enough in his work to keep the paint thin, can do a good job of painting. A thoroughly good brush is necessary; this is a sure case of the best be- ing the cheapest, as it will not only enable a man to do more and bet ter work but a good brush will last longer than a cheap one. The fall is the best time to do outside paint ing, as it then has all winter in which to harden slowly-whereas paint put on in spring or summer is sometimes injured with the hot sun while it is fresh and soft.-Agri- cultural Epitomist.
