The Bun Nuisance.

DR.. II. Il. Fenad Of the Massachu-
sctts Agricultural college says that
iive-sixths Of nl the living creatures
Of the globe are insects and that not
more than one out Of ten is friendly
TO man. He estimates that $2,000,0O0
or S3,000,000 worth Of damage is an
nunlly wrought by insects and that
known means Of protection. properly
used, could prevent two-thirds of this
loss. lie is therefore impressing the
necessity of close study by all
classes Of people Of this question with
the hope Of saving forest and shade
trees and crops.

cen inches or two feet of the main
canes. Old canes and the weakest OF
new ones should be cut out In the fall
or early in the spring each year. There
will be light crop of fruit the second
year and full crop the third year.
Four or FIVE full crops are about as
much as should be taken from one
plantation.
The blackberry is not grown SO
largely as 1t might be. 1t is one Of
the most profitable fruits to grow
where 1t succeeds well. Where there
is not danger Of winter killing a well
drained clay loan is probably best for
the blackberry, as 1t is cooler and
more retentive of moisture than light
er soils. The blackberry must have
plenty of soil moisture when the fruit
is ripening, otherwise but little Of
the crop will develop. In the north,
where hardness is Of greater consid.
Grafton than conservation of moisture,
the poorer and warmer soils are pre-
ferred, as the blackberry on these soils
does not make as rampant a growth
and hence ripens its wood better.

The following directions are gwen
for making the decoction: The part OF
the tobacco plant used for the decoc-
tion Is soaked in lukewarm water TOT
twenty-four hours in covered pot
or kettle. This mixture is then heated
to the boiling point for an instant and
allowed to soak again for an hour or
two. The contents are then strained
under considerable pressure so as to
get out as much Of the ooze as pos
sible and diluted with sufficient water
to make 100 gallons. The proper
amount of sulphur. sixteen pounds. IS
then added and the entire mixture
thoroughly stirred. II the water add
ed is hard, 1t should be softened by
I've or sal soda and warm enough so
that the mixture complete will read at
a temperature of 100 to 105 degrees f.
During the dipping the contents OF the
vat must be thoroughly stirred from
time to time. AS tobacco dips deteri-
crate quite rapidly. a fresh solution
should be made up when the sheep
are dipped the second time, which is
usually from ten to fourteen days after
the first dipping.

TO ASK FOR LARGER CELLS.
Warden Codding Would Double Size OF
Kansas Prison Rooms!

Salina, Kan, Dec. 5.-"One of the
Things I expect to ask the legislature
to do at the coming session is to double
the size of the cell room of each pris-
oner in the Kansas penitentiary.' said
warden j. K. Codding while here.
AT present each prisoner has a cell
four feet wide and seven feet long,
and I believe that the state should
tear out the partitions adjoining pairs
OF cells, so that including the wall
space saved, each prisoner would have
a room nine feet wide, seven feet deep
and seven feet high. If the legislature
makes the change the state prison cells
Will be the same size as the federal
prison cells"
Mr.. Codding will ask the legislature
for several other things to better con-
ditions, among them an increased ap-
preparation for food, and money to i'm
prove the prison farm. He will ask
that prison for the criminal insane
be erected at Lansing and that prison
ers be given a bonus for extra work
they do SO that they may help provide
for their families.

DOUBLE KANSAS WHEAT AREA.
Farmers in Western Part of State
Make a Gamble.

Oberlin, Kan, Dec. 6.-Perhaps new
err before has western Kansas been so
completely seeded to wheat as at this
time. Men who ordinarily sow one
hundred acres practically have doubled
the acreage for this year. and this is
true in the same ratio for those who
have in the past had large fields.
Last year S. D. Berry had out three
hundred acres. This year he has six
hundred. Jasper Mines last year had
about four hundred and this year has
nine hundred.
The crop last season was light, and
from the experience of the past the
farmers figure that next year, there
never having been three short crops in
succession, will be bumper crop. The
wheat appears good. That sown early
is up, and much of it spreading well
over the ground. Some, which was
