A CORN PEST.

The corn-root worm is one Of the
worst pests with which the farmers Of
the central west and south have to deal.
The beetle lays its eggs in early fall
within q few inches Of the stalk, from
one to five inches deep in the soil. The
larvae hatch from June to August, and
at first eat the small rootlets entire, and
then commence burrowing under the
outer layers of the large roots. If on a
rich loan, this causes the stalks to be
easily blown over or to produce small
ears and general dwar6ng of the plant
If on poor land. The adult worm is
nearly white with brown head, little
less than half an inch long, BY less than
one.tenth of an inch in diameter. Three
pairs of short legs are found in the seq
ements Immediately back Of the head,
but otherwise the long, cylindrical body
appears perfectly smooth to the naked
eye, though seen under the microscope
TO have numerous hairs and bristles.
Before pupation the color becomes slight
ly darker and the body shortens, becom-
ing more like common grub. They
then leave the roots, for small oval
cell in the soil, transform to pupae, and
in short time come forth as adult bee
ties. The beetles are Of q greenish yell
loW color and about one-fourth of an
inch in length, resembling in form the
common striped squash bug. The adults
are found in the fields from the latter
part Of July until the corn silks become
dry, and often later, feeding upon the
silk and pollen, thus doing much dam
age, when compared with that of the
worm. The remedy is SO simple and
effective that it would seem that none
ought to suffer from their injuries. As
far as is known, they have never been
Injurious to corn after previous crop
of wheat, rye, or barley though the field
may have been infected before that, and
q crop of corn is safe at least two years.
Thus simple rotation. which is also
recommended on many other grounds,
is entirely e6ectual. R. B. Edgar, in
The Epitomist.

Stanford Estate Don't Like the Find
ings of AutopicaI Board.
Honolulu, August 24.-The Tragic
death fMrs Jane Stanford has been
recalled by sensational story pub
liJhed here to the effect that the rep
resentatives Of the Stanford estate,
practically offered money inducements
to local physicians to change their
opinion that strychnine caused the
death of Mrs Sanford. 1t is alleged
that the bill OF $3.50 of DR.. C. B. Wood,
who performed the autopsy on the
body of Mrs Stanford has been re-
fused payment by the estate on the
ground that the territorial authorities
should have performed the autopsy.
DR.. Wood declared he was employed
on behalf of the estate by DR.. Hum
phreys AMI the latter said that he
considered the refusal to pay DIR. Wood
to be amazing as he considered the en-
ployment of private autopsy physi-
clan to be proper
The Star, in its story Of the matter
states that in Indifferent interviews a
representative of the estate indicated
to the physicians that it would be sat
isfactory to the estate if they could
revise their findings of poisoning and
in such event their bills were not to
be questioned, and Drs. Humphreys,
Day and Wood would be paid the
amount of their claims of $3.50.

Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia e. PissklSas1s,s
Vegetable OOssfp0und

The wonderful power Of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because iH
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts off the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow.
ing letter proves it.
DIR. S. @. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
"It gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
" My oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking It for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
