A NEW PEACH INSECT.
Found Inside of the Ripened Fruit
and No Trace Outside to Show
How Tt Got In.

1t is gratifying to learn that the
'little peach" disease, which has been
troubling some of the Michigan or
chards recently, is now under intelli-
gent investigation and that there is
good ground to hope that it will be not
only kept from spreading, but will be
entirely rooted out. What the cause of
this may be cannot be said yet. But,
says the National Stockman, thsre is
little doubt that more than one of the
diseases which affect the peach come
from gathering up peach seeds pro-
miscuously to plant for young trees to
be budded.
Just now word comes from northern
Ohio principally of a new insect inside
the ripening peaches. There is said to
be no trace of it on the outside; no
marks as to where or how it got in,
but there it is inside, getting its susie
nance from the fruit. This would look
as though the egg had been laid at
Or very near the time of blossoming.
Usually spraying is wholly omitted
when the trees are in bloom, but fur

The MOSQUITO Theory.

Almost all competent students OF the
subject believe that the mosquito is
practically the sole propagation OF yell
low fever. We must add, says the New
York Medical Journal, that there are a
few who still, while admitting the pre-
ponderating part played by the insect,
entertain lingering doubt as to its be-
ing the only vehicle for the spread OF
the infection. This doubt ought to be
either greatly strengthened or utterly
dissipated by the great experimentation
such it is-that is now going on In
Louisiana and is likely to be extended to
the neignboring states. The disease has
gained such Roadway and we are yet so
far away from frost, that its suppression
within moderate length of time can
not reasonably be imputed to any ether
agency than the measures taken by the
public health and marine hospital
service-that is to say, measures for
putting an end to the mosquitoes activ-
ity in conveying it. For our own part,
we are confident that the mosquito the
DRY will be incontrovertibly confirmed
and the epidemic promptly suppressed;
if however, in company with the great
mass of careful observers we are mis-
taken, the sooner we discover our error
the better.

DAlRYING WITH SILACE.
It, Is the Only Successful Method
Getting the Best Results from
the Silo.


The dairy farmer who undertakes to
carry his operations through the win
ter without silage has uphill work all
the time. The prosperous dairy far
er seeds down 20 or 25 acres every year,
keeps his straw under cover and grows
good field of corn for silage every
year. The solution of the question of
making cheap milk lies in the silo, for,
in the opinion of the Farmers Review,
good corn silage is undoubtedly the best
and cheapest milk-producing food that
has yet been grown. TO get best results
it must be made from well-matured
corn, and intelligently fed. The cutting
is very important, more so than
most people imagine. In the first
place good, well-built cutters must be
employed, for after the corn is cut in
the field, it should be put through the
cutter and into the silo as rapidly as
possible. The shorter the lengths are
cut the closer they pack in the silo;
hence use machine which has ample
capacity to do the cutting in short
lengths and do it fast. Just keep in
mind that you are handling green
stuff, with the object of putting it up
green. 1t is no trick to make good
silage-hefe is the recipe: Cut the
corn when the kernels are well glazed;
fill the silo as rapidly as possible; cut
the stalks into pieces, say an inch long
shorter would be better; tramp down
the corners we'll: see that the silo ia
perfectly air-tight-then you have it.

"Well, then, give it to me and take
this belt" shouted the CRATER and
the darby meekly did as requested.
"Now," said the CRATER, you stand
on this other side of the carriage"
Then he asked for a SIS investor, at
the same time announcing that one
or two dollars would be accepted, and
Immediately flood of one and two
dollar pills came pouring in.
Those who paid one dollar he lined
up in one row, and the two dollar men
in another, admonishing all that none
should leave until he was through
with them.
After the one and two dollar rush,
he callcd for another five dollar in
vestor, still repeating: "The more
liberal you are with me, the more gem
erous l can be with YOU" Two men
came forward, each with a SIS bill,
and then four more followed, all of
whom were lined up by themselves.
AT this juncture he began another
talk on the wonderful curative proper
ties of the belts, and then called for
four more $40 investors, whom he
soon found, together with still five
others, making altogether ten $40
dupes.
Turning to the two colored men who
stood looking on, he said: ssWhy
haven't you men bought?"
Because we hain't got no money!
came the reply.
Addressing their colored coErade in
the $40 row, the CRATER said:
Here, loan these men two dollars
apiece" which he instantly did, and
before they had time to get into line,
he once more turned to tie old col
ored man and said:
Here, loan your friends each an
other two dollars, and hurry UP be-
fore l close these pools.''
AS if completely under his control
the old darby handed it over and the
CRATER handed each another electric
belt.

$40 investors. and soon had at least
a dozen of them. Then he wanted a

share, several who had stood out to

As it now began to look as if he
: were closing up at least 20 men came
forward with from one to two dol
lars, and were lined up where they
belonged.
Suddenly the CRATER, as if hearing
some one in the crowd making re-
marks, said:

me?"
