beetle. -
A pest of threatened prevalence in
the wheat zone is the wire worm, num-
erous reports of it's presence having
been received at the Washington ex-
pertinent station during the past sum
mer. In brief report upon this pest
Professor Melander says:
"Treatment for this pest is very diff
ficult and never sure Of results. The
best treatment is gradually to work
the pests out of the soil by repeated
fall blowing. Each year that you fal
plow you destroy some of the worms
but not all Of them. When this is KEEP
up for year after year for long pc
riod, the worms ought to become less
and less in number. There is no prac
tical treatment of the seed that has
yet been discovered that will keep off
| the wire worms; nor can you poison
them by any sort Of trap. / would sug-
gest that, as an experiment, seed be
washed with tobacco liquid. Steep
up pound of tobacco in a gallon OF
two of water and sprinkle that over the
seed. would not promise that this will
be effective. But it may help some at
least.
"Mice can be routed by placing
traps in their runways or by strewing
bits Of poisoned fruit where they are
apt to run. IF you take raisins and in
sert in each small crystal Of strych-
nine, and place these poisoned raisins in
lo 1,,w of ho xro, xxyil1 Ia
stroy very great many of them. You
must be careful, however, not to let
children or chickens get at the poisoned
raisins. Prunes or bits o. carrots would
also answer"
The grain weevil Of warehouses can
be checked by fumigation, says Prof
Melander:
| "The only sure treatment is fumiga
tion. To fumigate you must have youl
bins perfectly tight and then fumigate
them either with carbon disulphide OF
potassium cyanide. If you have but Q
small bin I would suggest that you place
your grain in it and then put saucer
or plate on top of the grain, pouring II
some carbon disulphide, close up the biz
over night, and this will destroy thu
pest. The fumes of the sulphide arr
heavy and will penetrate through th'
feed. After airing, the fumes pass away
entirely, and your feed win be as goot
as ever. If your bins are empty, yol
can fumigate with potassium cyanide
Do this with one ounce of cyanide t.
every 113 cubic feet of space to be fumi
gated. To generate the gas you add on
and one-half ounces of sulphuric aeit
with two and one fourth ounces Of wa
ter for every ounce Of the cyanide. !
is well to wrap the cyanide in loose pa
per and throw it into tin can contain
ing the dilute sulphuric acid. You mus
remember that the gas formed is deadl,
poison and must not at all be breathed
The next day you can air out the bin
and after thorough airing you can MS
them for your flour. Bear in mind tina
carbon disulphide is as explosive as gas
oline."

EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES.

There has recently come under the
observation of the Washington Expert
ment Station at Pullman, "borer,o
present chiefly in the timbered dis
tricts where it has attacked the young
orchards. Describing this pest and pre-
scribing treatment, Prof. A. L. Me.
lander of the Washington experiment
station says:
"This pest is produced by black
ish beetle about one-half an inch in
length that flies during the latter part
of the summer. An egg is placed on each
tree, the borer Matching from it in time
killing the young trees. These borers
probably live several years in the trees
and the larger ones, at least, will enter
into the heart wood to pass the winter.
If the trees are small, there is little
hope of their recovery, and the trees
may as well be reset. The pest is ma
tive to our pine timber, but seems to be
also fond of young orchards. The best
treatment is in the way Of prevention.
Spray thorough coating of sulphur
lime containing an excess of, lime on
the lower trunks of the trees next
june, repeating this, if necessary, SC
as to keep the trunks coated through
out the summer. The sulphur acts as
deterrent and seems to protect the
trees from the egg laying habit of the
BEETLE"

Joy is but small step for Miss
Roberts. Last nights show con-
aimed a smile for every comedy

Miss Roberts was good, but all
credit is not due to her. L. Vic

was good.
Although the turnout at las
nights show was not as large as

less it was appreciative. Everyone
who saw the play was pleased ant

'THREE SHEETS
IN THE WIND

What was the origin of the
phrase for drunkenness-three
sheets in the wind?" a landsman
asked sailor the other day.
WELL said the sailor. "Ifl
explain that matter to you. The
two lower corners of a ships sail
are held taut by two ropes, one
called a tack and another called
a sheet, The tack is always kept
very tight, but the sheet is loosene6
according to the wind, and the
looser the sheet is, the more freely
the sail swings. If the sail is
quite free its sheet is said to BIZ
in the wind Now, suppose thai
all three of ships sails were quite
free; they would then fly abou
very crafty, and the ship would
wabble The course of the shil
would be a zigzag one, and tn,
reason for this would be that shC
had three sheets in the wind.
That, | guess, is why a man, whel
he rizzags in his couse, is said t
he three sheets in the wind also.

Exhibit Grows Too Fast To
Be Accommodated In
Departments Home.

Postmaster Geperal Hitchcock, has
transferred to the National Museum the
entire collection. of antiques, stamps,
and historical mail carriers. that COM
prtsed the exhibit museum Of the Post
office Department.
An old Spanish flag that flew above
the postoffice at Manila, was discovered
today, stored away in the basement of
the Postoffice Department. The flag is
the royal standard of Spain. II has
been hidden away for more than ten
years! and was slowly rotting away. It
will be preserved as a part of the Mu-
scum.
The flag was hauled down from the
Flagstaff on the Manila post office by
Mr.. Vaille. the assistant superintendent
of the railway mail service, when he
followed the victorious American army
into Manila, in July, 1898. Mr.. Vaille
took charge of the office in the name
of the United States Government.

This growth has been more or less
due to Jesse Suter, one of Uncle Sans

ago Mr.. Suter wrote a story abouut the
exhibit, and II grew in volume and
popularity at an alarming rate. 1t was
found by Postmaster General Hitch
cock, that visitors to the museum so
Cluttered the elevators and corridors
that 1t was impossible to accommodate
the clerks. and he decided upon the
change. People come from every sec

three largest in the world. being ex
