Fighting iessian Fly.

Whether one grows 10 or 100 acres
of wheat, the hessian fly is an enemy
that will need watching. Scientists
have worked for years trying to find
some method of exterminating this
pest, and agree that the best way OF
combating 1t is the following: At the
usual time of sowing wheat in the
fall, SOW small portion of the field
quite early and after the wheat Is up
watch 1t closely for attacks of the hes
sian fly. In casa the pest does not ap-
pear it will be safe to finish the SOW
ing at once. In the event of trouble
with the small strip of wheat, wait
until just before a sharp frost may
be expected before sowing the balance
of the field. The idea is that If the
wheat does not make its appearance
until after a sharp frost 1t will be safe,
as 1t is thought the frost will kill the
hessian fly. This method is well worth
trying and repeating each year until
some better plan is discovered.

Alfalfa Bacteria.

The alfalfa bacteria is not joke.
Unless these bacteria are in the soil
the alfalfa will not make a healthy

theory has been well tested by Profess
sor r. w. Clothier of Missouri, by CIV
ing plats treated and fertilized with
different manures and one plat, espec-
tally unadapted to alfalfa, but the
heavy clay soil literally inoculated
with soil from an alfalfa field where
the bacteria were known to be album
dant. On every plat destitute of the
bacteria, the alfalfa faded, turned yell
low, made but little growth and much
of 1t died out. On the inoculated plat,
the alfalfa was characterized by a
deep green color and vigorous growth,
and examination showed an abundance
of the characteristic nodules on the
roots. Many of our Texas farmers
who have had but limited success with
alfalfa and are looking around for o

The Pyumy Race.

A German scientist has recently
brought out some interesting conclu-
sions in regard to the pygmy race, of
which specimens are still met with in
the central part Of Africa. 1t is prob
able that the pygmy races have existed
also in Europe. This conclusion is ar
rived at from the examination of nu-
merous skeletons which have been
found in the region of Breslau. in 81
lesia. Their height is considerably be-
low the ordinary average. being about
feet inches, which represents the
mean figure for a whole group of skel-
eton. Kollman describes the remains
of pygmies which have been found in
Switzerland. In this case the average
height reaches as low as feet 6
inches. Gutmann has described the
pygmy remains which were found in
lower Alsace. near Colmar. These are
still smaller and the height of many OF
the specimens Is but feet. The pyg-
my race must be considered as COM
posed of well-formed specimens and
not in any way degenerate or path
ologic. They seem to have persisted
in Europe until a comparatively re-
cent epoch. The pygmies of Silesia ap-
pear to have been the contemporaries
of the Romans and to have existed
until the year 1000 A. ID.

APPLES AS MEDICINE.
An Excellent Brain Food and Full Of
Phosphorlc Acid,

The apple Is such a common fruit
that very few persons are familiar
with its remarkable efficacious medi.
cinal properties, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Everybody ought to
know that the very best thing he can
do Is to eat apples just before retir-
ing for the night. Persons uninit-
lated in the mysteries of the fruit are
liable to throw up their hands in hor-
ror at the visions of dyspepsia which
such a suggestion may summon up,
but no harm can come even to a deli
cate system by the eating of ripe and
juicy apples Just before going to bed.
The apple is an excellent brain food,
because 1t has more phosphoric acid
In easily digestlble shape than any
other vegetable known. 1t excites the
action Of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. This is not all.
The arple egglutinates the surplus
acids of the stomach, helps the kidney
secretions and prevents calculus
growths, while II obviates indigestion
and Is one OF the best preventives
known OF diseases of the throat Ev.
.erybody should be familiar with such
knowledge. In addition, next to the
orange and the lemon 1t is the best
antidote for the thirst and craving OF
the person addicted to the alcohol OF
the opium habit.

Good Tillaue.

Good tillage loosens the soil and al
lows free circulation of air. 1t may
often aid in fastening evaporation for
time, and it also allows the suns
rays to have more power on cold "sog-
gy" soils. Thorough tillage reduces
the soil to fine particles upon which
water and humic acids may act more
readily, and by breaking the surface
crust which always forms on untitled
soil, makes more room and better con-
ditions for the development of fibrous
roots. II is a well-known fact that
roots grown in a hard. crusty soil do
not have as many fbers (Which are the
chief feeders of the planU as those
grown in soil of looser texture. 1t Is
also true that though our cropping
plants send many of their roots to a
greater depth, the major part of their
feeding is done near the surface. These
facts suggest that good piowing Is one
of the most essential features of good
ullage.
