'Tis said that death loves a shining

THE BEAN BEETLE
How to Kill the Little Brown Cuss
OFF


Off
Many inquiries are being received
in regard to the little reddish brown
beetle with small black spots upon
its back that is now doing so much
injury to the beans along the eastern
slope of the Rock Mountains.
The young or larvae of this beetle
are light yellow grubs covered with
spines that feed for the most part on
the under side of the leaves OF the
bean.
The ordinary arsenical poisons are
not very effectual for the destruction
of this insect. and if applied too free
" are likely to kill the bean.
We have had best success in keep
ing this insect in check by simply
brushing the beetles and their larvae
off the plants upon the hot ground
during the warmest part of the day
from about 1880 a. N. to $3.50 p.
m. Very few of the beetles will lind
their way back to the plants.
1t is always we'll to go through the
bean fields before these beetles be-
come abundant for the purpose of
crushing as many as possible OF the
adult insects before they lay their
eggs. If the eggs have been dep,sised
upon the leaves, they should also be
destroyed. This is a very serious
| enemy to the bean and it will be
likely to do very serious injury to
the crop unless it is attended to
promtly when it first appears in the
| field.

Wiley Gets Ten Years

the penitentiary for the killing OF

Wiley is 55 years old, ives at
Loveland. and has wife and nine
children. In quarrel, at coal
mine it was claimed he struck Hager
on the head and death resulted in
three weeks from blood poison.
Wylie was found guilty of murder in
the second degree.
But for his bitter and unrepentant
mood, Wiley's sentence would pro-
badly have been lighter. The Judge
as we'll as the spectators were much
affected during the passing of the
sentence and the judge said that the
term might be shortened If Wiley

exhibition of speed ever made by
horse in northern Colorado, was that

on half mile track in 2:l7 Y.
This broke all former records on
this track.
1t is true that Mack Wilkes. owned

mile. but it will also be remembered
that Pap Morgan has in his time
driven as many and as good races as
any man in the state.
Still more in favor of Helen Nor

mare in his every day work as stree.
supervisor. Following the first heat
the two fast animals went out and
