inquiry proposed changes express classfcatons has
aroused 1t discovered that approximately
20000000 gallons shipped annually into the nine

This quantity really is enormous and it appalling
but compared with the total consumption of intoxicating
liquors in the United States it becomes insignificant

Railway Yard plants.

It has been noticed that many plants
not natives Of the locality, are to be
found growing in the neighberhood of
great railroad yards. Sometimes the
seeds Of these plants have been
brought thousands of miles from their
natural habitat. Often they flourish
amid their new surroundings and grad.
ually spread over the surrounding
country. Thus the trains carry un-
suspected emigrants, which travel to
and from every point Of the compass.
In the Missouri valley are to be found
plants which within few years past
have thus been brought together.
some from the Atlantic seaboard. some
from the gulf region and some from
the other side Of the Rocky mountains.

A BAD ARMY WORN.
BY r. [. Washburn, Division
CT Entomology, Minnesota
University Farm:
University Farm.


This old.time Minnesota pest has ap-
peared in destructive numbers this
season. and has destroyed all prospect
OF seed from at least four-fifths of the
timothy crop in Central and Southern
Minnesota besides greatly reducing
the value of the timothy as hay crop
The army worm is cut worm, oc-
curing in enormous numbers in a
given locality and generally ION the
march" from one field to another, eth
er impelled by hunger or the attacks
of parasites or both. Though suffering
from many parasitic insects tperhaps
SO per cent are parasitized) and from
the attacks of snch nocturnal providers
as shrews, skunks, etc, man has to take
prompt measures against them when
they appear as abnndantly as they
have this season.
The larvae, or caterpillars. or
worms" are, when full grown. about
one and one-fourth inches long and
vary in color from green to very
dark brown or even blackish, but al
most invariably showing character
istic stripes on back and sides. This
description applies to Heliophila al
bllinea. Hub, the species in question.
In every case of infectation, as far
as we have been able to ascertain,
these caterpillars have come from old
timothy fields that have been allowed
to run number of years, four or
more, without being plowed.
If farmers would plow up their tino-
thy fields at least once in three years,
it would he of material help in pre-
venting their outbreaks. The attack
last year is another argument for fall
plowing and proper rotation of crops
When full grown, they go into the
ground one to two inches below the
surface, and turn into mahogany-col
ored pupae, from which the yellowish
brown moths emerge later. The fe
male moth lays eggs on the leaves OF
grasses and grains, which eggs hatch
into the aforementioned worms.
Many letters, complaining of this
pest, have reached us from st. James

ccsl Mining ef the Worfd.

According to parliamentary return,
the output of coal in Germany and In
France in 1909 was greater than in
any previous year. In the Uniteds
Kingdom, Belgium and The Unitedt
States the production In 1909, though,
greater than in 1908, fell short of the.
year 1907. The whole output ha iAn.' '.,
of the Ave countries Famed was $50.
100000 tons, or an increase of 23.000,-
coo tens On the output of 1908, but
less by 100000 tons than that of
1907. The total known coal output Of
the world in 1908 was $4,000, 900 tons,
of which the United Kingdom pro-
duced more than one-fourth. In 1908
the number of persons employed In
coal mining in Great Britain was

"Hanaar," the Airshlp Word.

Hangar" denoting shed for air
ships, is taken from the French, who
use it also to denote shed for cars
and wagons, especially among farmers.
The word Is not Celtic. It was much
used in the Middle Ages to denote the
service exacted from country people IN
forwarding government couriers. We
first hear the word in the fifth century
before Christ, in Eschylus. Herodotus
and Xenephon. They got the word
from Persia, where 1t denoted the

Drunk on Ether.

Ether is consumed by gallons to
get drunk on in small part OF Scot
land. The origin Of this peculiar and
limited abuse is strange. In 184s q
bad epidemic Of cholera broke out In
Glasgow. Among those flying from It
were some who came back to Drap-
erstown, their native place. With
them they brought a cholera mix
ture which they found "exceeding
comforting" A rascally doctor, know
ing that the comfort proceeded from
ether, laid in a whole cask. He made
his fortune, and started the habit
that lasts till yet. Ether is sold over
counters in Scotland. the penny q
drink. An old ether topper can drink
two or thre ounces day, but one
half ounce Is one big dram In water.
The drinker gets hilarious in MIN
ute 1t is far wilder and more dan
gerous than alcohol

is the courtyard of one of our local
prisons. In this prison persons are
detained for considerable lengths of
time. They are locked in small, dingy
cells. Reading is out of the question.

Winter Keeping Of Vegetables.

The matter of keeping Irish pota-
toes, cabbages. onions. beets, ETC., all
winter for family use depends on
climatic conditions. Irish potatoes, as
also beets, should be guarded against
freezing. Beets and carrots can stand
little of it, but are better of when
kept from it. Cabbages stored in the
cellar should be wrapped separately in
double thicknesses of newspaper, fold
ing and tying it around the stem.
Hang each head upside down on the
side of the wall or from the beams
overhead. Onions to keep well must
be put in cool. ary, airy place.

Where casacu, Comes From.

Consul Luther T. Ellsworth writes
from Ciudad Porfirio Diaz that DIR.
c. c. Young has been experimenting
in that Mexican district in the breed
ing of Caracul sheep, imported from
Bokhara in the far east. He has a
flock of forty full-bleoded animals.
These sheep are famed for fine wool,
which is in realty. fur. and they are
doing well in Mexico. The ranch on
which they are grazing is ideal, as its
hills are covered with never-failing
grass in summer and its valleys are
warm and have succulent growth in
winter
