in treating the seed witt various in'
secticides and repellants, such as
kerosene emulsion, tar, etc. None OF
these has been successful.
It has been found, however, that
when five or six kernels are planted
in a hill one or two of them will
nearly always escape injury. Where
the bud-worm injury is at all severe
it would undoubtedly pay to adopt
this practice rather than to replant
two or three times.
The bud-worm is a pest which has
been so common for many years that
most planters have come to ooh upon
1t as a necessary evil. 1t is true that
we cannot now recommend any direct
insecticidal measures which may be
relied upon for it's practical control.
It is certain, however, that it's damage
can be yer largely reduced or pre-
vented by such measures as late
planting, planting a large number Of
kernels to the hill. properly draining
what would otherwise be wet, heavy
soils, eradicating weeds and similar

practices which may be included in
the best farm practice. The applica-
ton Of these measures will reduce
bud-wOrm injury to a minimum.
The bud-worm has been known for
many years, although at first it vas
only known as being Injurious to Gu
cumbers and melons. In fact 1t was,
for a long time, called a "a melon
worm" The adult beetles were
known to feed on the leaves and fruit
and it was supposed that the grubs
also fed on these plants. 1t was not
until 1888 that it became known as an
enemy to corn. Today it is known by
one name OF another throughout the
south as a corn pest.

IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

United States Cavalry Horse.

A native horse is as tough as a pine
knot. and will kill off a northern horse
doing anything, writes F. j. Doug
lass, V. NJ. D., Of Orleans county, Lou
isiana, in the Breeders Gazette. The
breeding Of horses is hindered also
because there is some carelessness in
feeding in this locality, due to the
fact that prior to b advent Of the
boil weevil and the consequent diver
sifed farming the southern farmer
raised cotton, talked cotton, dreamed
cotton, to The total exclusion Of every
thing else. But now he a begun to
take notice Of other things. and you
will soon be hearing of 100 bushels OF

RIB NOW PART OF SKULL

A wonderful case of bone grating
is reported from st. Louis. where
George Williams. 4 patient, in the
City hospital, has had part of one of
his ribs grated on TO his skull. Will
Iams met with an accident some time
ago, and in order to save his life a
portion Of the parietal bone at the
back of his skull was removed. The
pressure of the scalp on the unprO-
tected membrane beneath it caused
an irritation Of the brain cells, n
Williams became subject to frequent
parOXysms. There have been many
cases of bone grating, but heretofore
these operations have been confined
to taking a slice Of bone from M
part of the skull and putting it on an
other. In Williams case this was
impossible, so large a portion of the
skull had been removed. The visiting
surgeon suggested that a rib would
do. The patients sixth rib was re-
moved. A piece four inches long and
an inch wide was cut from the end Of
the rib and carefully fitted into the
hole in the skull. The scalp was then
seWed up over it. Williams has not
had a parOXysm since the operation
was performed.

''STRlKES OUT" AND DIES

While playing ball in New York
Charles Washauer, thirty-eight years
old, was stricken i'll at the home plate
after three strikes" had been called
on him. and died before medical aid
could reach him. Acute heart disease,
brought on by excitement at a critical
point in the game, is said to have
been the cause of the amateur ball

was in favor Of the nine in the field
when Washauer came tt the bat, and
a run was badly needed. He struck
at all three balls pitched, and as the
umpire cried "out" he reeled and fell

great numbers Of ready-to-work ami

But I consider that the greatest in
f1uence bearing on the degeneration in
size Of stock in this locality is the
lack Of earthly salts in the drinking

RAISING HORSES IN SOUTH

Many wonder why there is not lore
attention given to the raising of horses
and mules in Mississippi and LOuisi-

mosquitoes and ticks play no small
part in the degeneration in size of
horses bred in these two states, but
there is no degeneration in quality.

Board investigates Report OF
Petitions Against Commits
siOner's Appointment.

Absolute denial was iaade at the
meeting of the Orange Board of Fire
Commissioners last night of the pub
lished report that a big stir had re-
suited from an investigation concern
ing rumors that men in the depart
ment had been circulating petitions
faVoring the appointment of Commits
sioner Thomas F. Brennan and oppos-
ing the appointment of James r. Nc
CURE. 1t was said that all the men
approached denied knowledge of the
petition. Commissioner Sumter i.
Beegle said that he and Chief Mathews
had looked into the matter and he did
not believe there was anything to it.
About three weeks ago DR.. Plum
mer met me and told me that he had
heard ten days previous that the pc
titions were in circulation" said Mr..
Beegle. My advice to him was that
If he knew what was going on it was
his duty to investigate the whole mat
ter Immediately. The chief and 1 then
visited every house and asked each
member if he had seen, heard about
signed any petition. n In every
case We We're told that nothing was
known about it. Whether 1t is wise
for the board to write the council and
ask them whether they know anything
about it is another thing. Certainly
we cannot go ahead and investigate a
matter of which we know absolutely
nothing If this petition was in
existence, as DIR. Plummer said he
heard II was, some OF those men who
were. seen by mo would have known
something about it. I can't believe
every maj in the department is a liar,
and Furthermore, I don't believe 1t.
Why DR.. Plummer wouldn't even tell
me the name of the man who told
I'VE had best let it drop shen," sus-
gested President Chalmers. Both Com
missioners Brennan and Beegie
1t might be advisable TO lay
the matter over until a meeting at
which DR. Plummer could be present
and this plan was adopted. Council
Patrick Quinn, who was present
at the meeting, arose and told the
commission hat at no time had he
anything to do with a petition re-
questing the reaDpointrnent Of Com
missioner Brennan. "I have scarcely
ten words to Commissioner
Brennan" he said. "but / t,ii1k thai

{. ORANGE IS NOT
INFLUENCED BY
ELEVATION PLANS
Progress in Oranges NegOtia-
tons With Lackawanna Of Lit
tie Concern to NeighbOr.

East Orange is not worrying over
any steps being taken by Orange
toward elevation. Even should the
former municipality decide o. eleya-
ton it will make no change in the
mind of Mayor Julian A. Gregory that
the tracks "a be depressed in East
Orange.
No conference has been held by
Mayor Gregory with the railroad peo-
pie, and none Is scheduled to take
place. The possibility of action is
s~mouldering, the mayor said, n may
burst into flame any time.
Mayor Gregory is in favor of de-
preston n admits when he appointed
Engineer Willegerod he o into con-
sideration the fact that he had served
as en- years as engineer with the
Pennsylvania railroad. The city will
probably not agree to pay all damages
in the opening of streets, as the Lack
awanna has asked Orange to do.
One problem to be met in depression
would be at the Parkway bridge, but it
is now believed it will be possible TO
carry the Parkway over the railroad.
This will be suggested when my con-
f%erences are held.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
IN HEALTH BOARDS FAVOR.

The Supreme Court has reversed the
Judgment of the Orange District Court
in the case of the Montclair Board
of Health against James F. Murphy, ar
undertaken, of Newark. The board
brought action to recover a fine of $50
from Murphy for failing to obtain a
permit from the registrar of vital sta
~tistics. Chester II. Wells, for the burial
of d person n died in the Mountain
Hospital.
The Orange court gave a verdict for
the defendant, and the Montclair health
department appealed the case to the
Supreme Court, which has directed a
of the judgment and the pay
ment of $50 and costs by the defend
ant. Murphy's defense was hat tho
Montclair registrar refused the burial
permit because of alleged defects in
the certificate of death, and the de-
PENDANT [~thereupon procured a permit
from the registrar of vital statistics Of
the town of Harrison, where the de-
ceased had resided.
The Supreme Court decided that If
the refusal of the Montclair registrar
erroneous, Murphy's remedy was
to apply to a justice of the peace in
the town.
