The way was marked with white, not
only the surface of the ground, but on
stirring up the mellow soil Of the edge
of the cornfeld it was found to be lit
orally full of dead chinch bugs TO, the
depth of two or three inches, the white
fungus covered bodies strongly con-
trasting with the black color Of the
rich roam. Not only this, but under
the sheaths of the leaves and on the
leaves themselves hundreds of dead
were to be found on the outrows of
corn, on the grass and weeds, and in
deed almost everywhere. Millions of
chinch bugs were certainly destroyed in
this one field.
The dread which the chinch bug in
spires may be inferred from the nature
of the various schemes for checking
his mad career. One of these begins
with the making of a smooth path
along the margin Of an infested field
where such a one adioins the one to
be protected. This can be done with a
sharp hce, and as the margins Of wheat
fields usually become compacted, it is
foot or more in Width, smooth as a
floor, with the surface almost as hard.
In the midst of this path post holes
ara sunk as in the bottoms of burrows
and train of coal tar is run between
them, being so arranged that 1t will
reach the post hole near the inner side
opposite the field from which the bugs
are migrating.
In this way as the bugs reach the
train of coal tar they will follow along
until they reach the post hole, while
those meeting with the post holes will
usually divide and following around il
join with the flow of bugs moving
along the train Of coal tar. The result
is that they become congested in the
acute angle where the coal tar train
is intercepted by the post holes. Those
in the apex Of this angle cannot turn
back, and thus are continually pushed
into the post holes by those behind
From these holes there is no escape
and here the bugs can be readily Killed
by sprlnklng with kerosene.
The slightest train Of coal tar is suf-
fcient to obstruct the passage Of the
bugs, and light rains will not affect
| its efficiency. In dry Weather these
trains of coal tar soon become covered
over with dust and must be renewed
but in showery weather there is nc
dust. and IL the coal tar is renewed
daily or at most twice each day it vii
accomplish its work, and nothing fur
Their will be needed than to kill The
| bugs that have collected in the pcs
holes. This measure is inexpensive ant
can be promptly put into operation /
the coal tar is at hand. The writer hai
been ablo in this way to protect ee
fectively field Of corn surrounded Al
two sides by wheat field literally
ovefrun with chinch bugs at har7es
and during time when llsht showers
were occurring frequently sey9fa
times each day.

ty decided to allow payment for
scalps not more often than evry t1ree
months. Three months was a long
time to wait. The hunters became
impatient at the long delay. It re-
NAMED for the merchants to solve the
difficulty. Accordingly it was announc-
ed through the columns of the weekly
paers that rabbit scalps would be TAX
en- at the grocery stores in exchange
for merchandise, provided the own
er of the scalps would give his word
that they were taken from rabbits
killed in Trego county.
The plan proved a success. Instead Of
the farmers making a weekly trip to
the Court House the merchants report
ed every three months at the commits
sioners' office and the bills were al
lowed.
During the months of March, April,
and May the total amount of bills al
lowed by the commissioners for rabbit
soalps was $685. In other words Trego
county killed 1880 rabbits during the
three months,-Kansa City Star.

Did you ever hear of rabbit scalps

or as a medium of exchange in the
same manner. as eggs and butter? Out
in Trego county, Kan, the county seat
Of which is Wakeeney, the merchants
pay five cents each for RABBIT scalps,

a grocery store in Wakeeny, bought o.
$40 sealps during the months of March,
April and May this year. John Keraus
another merchant of the same place
bought 2,76O scalps, while no merchant
in the little town paid for less than
$50 scalps.
The farmers and ranchmen bring
rabbit scalps to the county stores along

A few years ago Trego county, in
the hope of extermnating the trouble
some jacErabhits, decided to pay d
bounty of five cents for rabbit scalps,
the money to be paid whenever the
scalps were presented at the County
Treasurer's office. Soon after men who
had never before been seen in Wa

big sacks of scalps. Finally the Coun-

It eventually developed that certain

tween them. The corn husk wheel
serves this purpose we'll.
For the making of such a wheel
dried corn husks are used. They are
laid together and tied in little bundles
of a dozen or so, the butts. all at one
end and the points at the other.
The corn husk grinding wheel Is "
inches in diameter, made up OF such
little bundles of cornhusks placed with
their butts against and secured to the
spindle on which the wheel Is to turn
the husks radiating from it all arouna.
When a sufficient hummer Of bundles
of husks to form the wheel have thus
been placed against the spindle tAe
wheel is compressed, to MAKE II NOT
solid but compact, and give II Inc
width of face required.
The wheel built up in this way OF
corn husks is mounted and run by
power. The workman, using water
and powdered pumiee stone IN tns
grinding, stands with a tray Of COMBS
To be ground on q table at hand, ana
one after another holds the COMBS
against the wheel The life OF corn
husk grinding wheel is only four or
five days.
Another interesting wheel to be seen
in the shop where they finish combs
is a polishing wheel of carpet covered
with muslin. This wheel has smooth
and when in use fiat, rim, which how
ever will yield anywhere under pres
sure, and so when a combs is held
aginst it this heel, adapts itself
readily 10 all the combs rounded or
moulded surfaces, and thus can be
made to polish it perfectly everywhere.

soon be asking 1t, too, but first l must
make an effort to understand the sit

own inconsiderate acts, especially by
that unfortunate attempt of his to Sc
crete Mrs. Fairbrothers gloves in an
other womans bag, and, secondly, by
his peculiar explanations, which to
many must seem forced and unnatural.

tered the details which must be the
prelude to all intelligent action.
The mornings report stopped with
the explanations given by Mr.. Durand
of the appearances against him; con-
sequently no word appeared of the aft
er events which had made such an i'm
preston at the time on all the persons
present. Mr.. Grey was mentioned, but
simply as one of the guests, and to no

crime.
