larger than mustard seeds, very diff.
cult tc find, in which they remain I'M
til the following summer, when they
again issue as flies. However, many
of the larvae have not left the heads
by harvest time and these are carried
into the barn or stack; they soon be-
come dry and shrink away from their
skins, becoming ceased larvae" these
do not feed; they again become active
when thoroughly moistened, even after
having lain quiescent for more than
half a year. Since the chaff. from the
threshing machine contains countless
numbers of these ceased larvae" it
should be promptly burned; the bulk
of the straw a be put to its custom
airy use without special danger.
The cooling moth larvae hides away
somewhere in the fall, or as soon as it
leaves the apple; then spins a cocoon,
but does not become a pupa till the
return of warm weather. If it is in
an orchard it hides in crevices of the
bark, on tree trunks or under rubbish.
The fewer hiding places there may be,
the greater is the probability that it
will be picked up by birds, fowls or
predacious insects, or attacked by
ichneumon flies before it can find win
ter quarters. The moral is obvious
clean up the rubbish.
The great majority of the flies are
always derived from the pupae buried
in old wheat fields. Rotation of crops
will be of some help in controlling
them, many Of the flies becoming lost
and perishing while hunting new fields
in which to lay their eggs. However,
the only thorough remedy is to pillow
the stubble under in the fall to such
a depth that the flies cannot make
their way to the surface the next year.
This should be done as soon after har.
vest as possible. Flowing to a depth
of eight or nine inches is sufficient.
Burning the stubble before blowing
will help. Neighborhood cooperation
in all these remedial measures is i'm,
portant.

Description and Habits of This Enemy
or the Wheat Plant.

Prof. H. A. Gossard, entomolcgist
of the Ohio station, says:
The fly, which is a close relative Of
the Hessian fly, is a very small. deli
cate insect, appearing on the wing
some time in June, usually about the
date when the ireiies first appear
and the blossoms of the locust trees
are fading and falling to the ground.
The eggs are laid in a cavity or
groove at the upper end Of the outer
most chaff, SO that the young maggots
on Matching can readily reach the in
cipient kernel. These reddish larvae
imbibe nourishment from the milky
kernel, ceasing to feed after the grain
becomes hard. When full grown they
seek the earth, generally by crawling
down the stalk when it is wet with
dew oc by sliding down in a raindrop.
Going about one-half an inch beneath
the surface, they make COG not

FOR GOOD ROADS.
What Pennsylvania Is Doing to I'm.
prove Her Highways.

Pennsylvania thinks it has the most
liberal good roads law in the country
and thinks 1t is doing more to make
good roads than any other state in the
union. The law, which was passed in
1905, runs for five years and appro.
PIRATES a total for the states share
in making good roads, $685. 1872.
Nearly $1,000, 900 was expended for
the fiscal year Of 1905 and for the
years 1906-07, each, $1,250,OO0 is set
aside. For the next two years the an
nual expenditure will be 1880, 900.
This represents three-fourths of the
sum expended. OF the remainder the
county pays one-eighth and the town
ship one-eighth. The roads must be
permanent and the standard is very
high. There is a state department of
highways, and when the state first be.
gan this system that department com.
planned that the counties and town
ships refused to do, or were very slow
in doing their part. But the small
beginning won for itself, and now the
local bodies are most eager for the
work, making greater demands than
the appropriation can meet. The
amount of work already applied for
by the counties outruns the state ap-
preparation by millions Of dollars. In
other words, the farmers, seeing what
good roads mean to them, are eager to
pay their part where the state helps
SO literally. In 48 Of the Sc counties
the entire amount allotted has been
absorbed. Chester county, for exam
Pile, has made II miles of road and
has applied for 10 miles more, which
exhausts It's share of the state aid.
But 1t has additionally applied for
229 miles more. Altogether the state
is SO pleased with the good roads ex
perimen mt that it is believed the legis-
lature will enlarge the appropriation.
The state treasury has a large surplus,
and 1t is proposed to exhaust 1t in CIV
ing the state good roads.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible Scaly Humor In Patches All
Over the Body-skin Cracked and
Bleeding-cured by cuticura.

IT was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. It was in patches
all over my body. ! used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days 1 was completely cured,
and I think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale Of a white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge Of bloody substance
would ooz out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If l let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. w. NJ. Chichester, Hutch

Starch were used. In order to get the

sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and 10 doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-

depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, 1atulency, nerv-

male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious

LONG BEACH, May 25.-The woman,
who was the companion of Thomas
Blake, recently arrested in this city by
Los Angeles detectives, charged with
the theft of $4,000 worth Of stocks from
his Boston employers, left this city a
few days ago, stating that she was
going to her home in Boston. The
proprietor of the hotel where Blake
and the woman registered under the
names of Mr.. and Mrs. Richards, pitied
the woman after Blake's arrest and
has kept her location secret until this
morning.
The woman told nothing about her
family, but said that her maiden name
was Smith. She said that she and
Blake were married three weeks before
they came to Long Beach. According
to her story, the wedding was an elope-
ment and took place after she had
broken her engagement with another
man, and Blake, likewise, had forsaken
another woman to whom he was be-
trothed. She said that she knew Blake
had a quantity of stocks in his pos
session, but that she supposed he had
inherited them from his father, who
left considerable estate.
Blake and the woman came to this
city in a Pullman drawing room car
and he lavished money upon her in
various ways. After his arrest she sent
to friends in Boston for money, which
was soon Forthcoming For several
days following the Arrest she is said
to have appeared to be almost frantic.
