Finish Sowing Wheat.

No more Hessian fly danger until
next spring.
During the last few weeks farm
ers have had many false alarms on
account of small hopping insects
which have been mistaken for the
Hessian fly. Many samples of
these leaf-hoppers are being re-
ceived by the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station. They are
small and when very abundant in
wheat may injure it somewhat if
warm weather continues long
enough, but their injury is usually
not severe.
These leaf-hoppers vary from an
eighth to quarter of an inch in
length, jump much as grasshoppers
do, and may be green, grey, or
variously colored and striking. In
addition to these points which dis
tinguish them from the tiny mos
quito-like Hessian flies. the hoppers
have four wings while the fly has
only two.
AS there are rarely any Hessian
flies feeding this late in the fall. all
wheat-sowing should be finished at
once if not already done. There
need be absolutely no delay on &C
count of the hoppers.

Two DOGS.

One wears dainty collar
And fine engraved crest
And cuddles in milady's lap
In uninterrupted rest
The others life is quite apart
That's Tommy's little cur
He struts it with the Riddles gang
A gay philosopher.
OF course I've never been q dog
And cant tell which is best
But if l were a dog. you bet,
I'd never wear a crest.
I'd rather rough It With the gang
And have a lot Of fun
No woman's lap would prefer
When Tommy gets his gum

 Cunningham advocated the paving of Brewery Avenue up to the lumber yard He declared that it was abso- lutely essential that this work be done as soon as possible He gave as a reason for this that such work would tend to eliminate the heavy flow of sand and gravel witnessed ten days ago in the Gulch. The councilman from the first ward also raised his voice in favor Of paving Main street
