The plan Here.


A number of Keokuk workingmen
have been talking over the plan here,
and the modus operandi will probably
be something like the following:
A petition will be drawn and circu-
lated, asking the commissioners to
establish market, or rather to desig-
nate certain streets or squares. where
market can be established. After
this has been done, the farmers will
be interested and there will be no
difficulty in interesting the consumers.
OF course, it is too late to do any
timing beyond the preliminary work
this fall, as an out-of-doors market
is out Of the question during the win
ter months. But by taking care of all
the preliminary work an early start
could be made next year.

PLUGGING KNOT HOLES.

Boxes containing knot holes are no
salable, and in some localities the
lumber used for the box shocks is
full of such blemishes, with the re
suit that 20 per cent of the totaI
board footage has to be discarded
Much attention, however, is now be
ing directed in all industries toward
the utilization of material until re-
Gently considered as worthless, and
one of the developments of this activ
lty in the box-making industry is a
machine that plugs knot holes
This machine, invented ty Cali
fomian, saws out the knos or the Sec
ton containing the knot hole, produc,
ing holes of uniform size. The same
machine also saws the plugs for the
holes, the work being done by two
small band saws. The plugs are cut
from waste blocks of a thickness that
corresponds with that of the boards
TO be plugged. The plugs, being cut
slightly larger than the holes made
for them, fit snugly, and are held
firmly in place by small crimper nails
which leave both the inner and outer
surfaces perfectly flush and smooth.
1t is estimated that one man oper,
ating this machine three or four hour
a day can save at least 1000 feet of
luber that would otherwise be
wasted. Popular Mechanics.

THE DAMAGING BUGS.

Ever stop to think that injurious
insects cost this country a billion dol
lars a year, not to mention the pain
and sickness inflicted by the disease
they carry? Did it ever occur to you
that Kansas gets about 90,OOO,OOO dol
lars a year less from itslabor than 1t
should because of the work Of these
tiny foes? Are you aware that sin
gle insect, a Hessian fly, for instance
has in one season destroyed 1O,OOO,OOC
bushels of Kansas wheat? Yet Kan
sas is no more harshly served than
other states.
There are more species of insects
known and described today than OF
all otheranimals put together. OF this
vast number a few are responsible
for this enormous damage, a few be-
cause of their habits Of preying on In
furious species are beneficial, few
produce commodities such as honey
and silk, highly valuable to man, but
the vast bulk Of these species does
not affect man s life at all. The poek-
ct gopher, spermophiles, garden moles
mice, and rabbits supplement the
yearly injury done by the insects and
help to increase the losses.
To prevent these losses is giant
work well worthy Of mans ambition.
First must come inquiry into the hab-
its of the creatures, followed by the
devising and testing Of measures for
their control. Then must come the in

| LOSSES.

The first end is being obtained by
fundamental and extensive investiga-
tons in the agricultural experiment
stations of the different states and by
those conducted in the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The Sec
ond end is being realized by teaching
economic entomology and economic
zoology as regular subjects in the col.
I leges and schools and more rapidly
by special trains, farmers institutes
and demonstration farms.
The agricultural college Of Kansas,
through its department Of entomology
and zoology. has developed methods
by means of which the farmer can
escape damage to his wheat by Hes
sian fly and chinch bug, to his alfalfa
by pocket gophers and mOund-buid-
ing prairie ants, to his corn by chinch
bugs and graSshOppers, to his hay
and pasture by prairie dogs, and to
his garden and lawn by mOles and
mice. 1t is also developing methods
for the control of orchard, flour and
other injurious insects. In addition
to these and other investigations, the
departmen of entomology is teaching
the principles of pest control to 600
young Kansans every year, main
tanning a correspondence with the peo-
pie Of the state at large amounting
to 5000 letters annually, manufactur-
ing and selling at cost a very popu-
lar and successful poison for the de-
struction of prairie dogs and another
for gophers, furnishing timely warn
ing and information through the
daily press and conducting demonstra-
ton treatments for various insect
troubles wherever needed.
