The Court 0YerfIOWs With
DFunkS.

The Municipal Court room was unusually
crowded this morning all the available seat
ing capacity being taken up before the open
ing of the court. The dock was filled from
end to end with respondents charged with
intoxication, and the overflow was taken care
of in the seats reserved for Witnesses. Many
OF the respondents were old offenders whose
faces have appeared so often in the dock that,
as Recorder Whelden said this morning, he
was tired OF seeing them. They are no sooner
out Of jail than they are brought in again for
a fresh sentence, and It would seem from the
nonehalanee with which many of them re-
ceive the decree OF the court, that they would
rather live in Jail than anywhere else. One
man who was in court the last Of the week
and was permitted to pay fine instead of be-
ing sent to jail, on condition that he would
never again appear before the court, was in
the dock this morning and the recorder lost
no time in giving him 20 days.
Although John McDonOugh denied commit
ing an assault on his friend Sears, he admitted
that he was intoxicated and could not account
for having an alteration with him, but the
testimony Of officer Thompson and also Of
Sears, who was present in court, showed that
the assault was brutal and unprOvoked, and
the respondent was found guilty on both
charges, his sentence being $40 and costs for
assault So and costs for intoxication.

dignant when he heard the story, that he
immediately made out a search warrant for
the Herman house, ana Officers Scott and
Craig who visited the premises, found two
jugs Of liquor and some beer and arrested
Herman. Herman at first denied that his wife
bad given the child liquor and said she must
have stolen it, but later both husband and
wife accused each other Of the act It will be
remembered that this little girls sister, Julia
Logue, II years Of age was in court short
time ago for intoxieation, and is now on pro-
baton. The liquor which Julia imbibed, was
obtained at the same place.

OF the odor is left all danger may be considered
to be past.
Many barns are so,arranged thatthe grain bins
are directly over the stables IN which horses or
cattle are kept at night. When such is the case
ali animals must be housed elsewhere or turned
into the field for at least one night, otherwise
they might BE- killed.
METHOD OF APPLICATION AND EFFECT ON GRAIN.
In applying carbon bisulThide, a watering pot
with rose nozzle, moderately coarse, may be
used and care should be taken to distribute the
liquid as even as possible. 1t is ordinarily
sprink ed directly upon the grain.
No injury to the grain, SO far as its edible
qualities are concerned win result from such
treatment If subjected to the yapor contin-
uousiy for period of more than SO hours it is
said that some seeds will not grow. However,
p to SO hours is ample time for the material to
have its effect upon the insects in the grain and
at the end of that time the building should be
thoroughly aired A good time to do this fumiga-
ton work is on Saturday afternoon; then the
building should be tightly closed and locked un-
Oil Sunday afternoon or evening, when it should
be well aired.
After fumigation the grain will usually soon
be considered effective. Watch should be kept.
however for the appearance Of the insects later,
as it may be necessary to treat the grain again il
three or four weeks.
AMOUNT OF BIsuLPHIDE REQUIRED.
For grain as it is ordinarily bulked pound to
25 bushels is usually applied. For tight deep
bins less will be required and for grain spread
thinly upon the floor or in bins more may be
needed. according to the condition OF the build
ing. The practice Of storing grain, if dry, in
tight, deep bins is to be commended as it tends
to lessen the injuries by insects; or as above
stated if a treatment with carbon bisulphide is
necessary less material will be required.
COST OF BIsULPHIDE OF CARBON
The cost varies greatly according to the amount
purchased. Some Philadelphia firms sold il last
year at about six cents per pound T. o. b. in 90
pound lots, the cost OF container being extra.
When small quantities are bought the price is |
advanced but ought not to exceed |

The case against Maurice Herman was also
continued until September II, and bail set at
the same amount. 1t is probable that besides
answering to search and seizure, Herman and
his wife, one or both, will be charged with
having given liquor to a minor. The search
and seizure at Herman's house was a result
ofthe arrest OF al2-yearold girl, little Margaret
Logue yesterday afternoon, who when she
had sufficiently recovered from the effects of
liquor, as TO be able to speak, told the officers
that the liquor was given to her by Mrs Her

When occurring in small areas the following
methods Of eradication may be practiced
l. Cut and rake to the center the infested plants
in the spots and burn. Cut the clover one yard
in ali directions outside Of the apparently in
tested area TO be sure that no branches are
missed, For complete eradication this cut area
should be hoed to a depth Of inches for about
three weeks This allows the scattered seed to
terminate and die. If the spots are cut early be-
fore the seeds are ripe this cultivation is IN
necessary.
l. Sprinkle infested spots with a ten per cent
solution of sulphate Of iron potassium or copper,
This is best applied to the stubble after the spots
have been cut and burned.
If the dodder covers large areas so that the
above suggestions are impracticable the fol ow-
ing may be practical:
l. Close grazing with sheep or cattle for some
time
Rotation with cultivated crops for two or
more seasons

Glover Dodder.

Many inquiries concerning clover dodder and
its eradication have been received by the EXpe'-
iment STAT on during the past few weeks. The
writer has observed this disease IN all three
counties, finding it most prevalent from New
Castle 10 Harrington in red clover fields on ac-
count of the prevalence Of this disease this
season, and the fact that it seems to be on the
increase the following account has been prepared
with the hope that the information may prove Of
value to those interested.
WHAT DoDpER IS.
The dOdders or love-vines are parasitic flower
ing plants closely related to the morning glories
or bind weeds There are several species occur
ing in this state. Some grow on weeds, particu-
larry 10 moist bottom lands, and do no damage to
the farmer. Others grow on cultivated plants,
particularly the red clover, and prove one of its
most serious diseases.
These plants are peculiar in being parasitic in
habit depending upon the food already prepared
by the plants upon which they grow instead Of
celebrating il for themselves from the soil
moisture and air as plants possessing green color
are able to do Dodders are destitute OF this green
color called chlorophyll, and so have not the
power Of celebrating food for themselves. The
plant consists Of a stem which is yellow in color,
and is practically leahess The leaves have been
reduced to very small scales. The flowers are
minute and usually produced in clusters on the
stem.
LIFE HISTORY.
During the first stages of growth the young
dodder plant is self supporting. but is wholly de
pendent upon the food stored in the seed in the
form OF starch. The seed terminates and at first
consists solely of yellow threadlike stem. The
plantlet may or may not attach itself to the
ground. 1t grows independently until the food
in the seed is used up. During this time the
threadlike stem has grown sufficiently to grasp
and Irvine around some green plant growing
nearby. If the plant is not one upon which the
particular species of dOdder naturally grows it
dies If the plant is one for which the dodder
has natural affinity it twines about the stem
and sends suckers or haustoria into the tissue
thus linking the two plants together. The haus-
tora serve as both holdfasts for the doddeTs
support and as feeding organs through which the
dodder takes the juices OF the host, depriving 1t
of its needful food which it has manufactured for
its own use Growing in this way the dodder
flowers, natures its seed and dies. Usually the
host plant is killed or much weakened by this
parisitism.

Station will be glad to test, free Of charge, all

would be grateful to any one who viii send

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES.

The best method Of keeping dodders off the
farm is to prevent its Introduction by rigid seed
Inspection Dodder is usually introduced through
impure seed. Have all seed examined by a com
petent Inspector Dodder may be introduced

manure. Thus hay infested with dodder should
never be used, as it may be spread in this way to
