KILL CROP PESTS
IN EARLY SPRING
Plans for Eradication of Corn
stalk Borer, ChinCh Bug and
Other Insects.

Cornstalk Borer-Plowing under anG
burning stubble.
Cornroot Worm-Crops should be
rotated with oats and other crops.
Army or Cotton Caterpillar-After
cotton has been gathered in winter
the field should be burned over, and
If the worms appear the following
year paris green should be used lib
orally.
Cutworm-If the land is thorough
ly broken prior to cold spell and al
lowed to freeze it will serve to de-
stroy many of the eggs and larvae Of
the worm in the ground. Land infest.
ed should be planted very thickly and
thinned to stand after the cutworms
have had their share.
Chinch Bug-This bug spends the
winter months in the thickets and
wild grass areas Of the field and comes
out in early spring to do its devilment.
1t is therefore good plan to hurn
over all wild grass patches where the
bug is troublesome, and when he
makes his appearance spray with paris
green.

MIXING INCUBATOR
EGGS WITH FRESH
Farmer Who INDUCES in Practice
Is Quite Liable to IniuTe
His Own Market.

A number of poultry raisers have
been in the habit of putting on the
market infertile eggs that have been
tested in incubators from three days
to a week. AS soon as the breeder
finds that the eggs will not hatch he
takes them out and sends them to
market along with his fresh spring
eggs. After the eggs have been in the
incubator for this period they are dis
tinctly stale and rot very quickly II
kept any length Of time. Even when
lust taken from the incubator these
infertile eggs are not fit for boiling
or poaching, although they may be
used for frying, and are good for cake
or certain other baked foods. These
eggs when they reach the market
however, are classified as low grade
No. 2.
The mixing Of incubator eggs with
fresh spring eggs leads the egg pack
ers. who get their principal cold stor-
age supply in the spring, to cut the
price they pay the farmer. The spring
eggs designed for keeping for winter
consumption must be absolutely good.
Moreover, the egg packers in the
spring do not candle eggs but hold
them three at time In the hand and
clink them to discover any crack and
then Judge their freshness by their
fresh powdery look on the shell. The
mixture of infertile incubator eggs
with fresh eggs interferes seriously
with this clinking and forces the pack
err to candle the eggs. He then deducts
this added expense from the price he
offers to the producer Eggs which
have once been subjected to the heat
of the incubator cannot be stored
even though frozen.
The farmer who sells incubator eggs
to the dealer, therefore, is very liable
to injure his own market for fresh
eggs. When dealers find percentage
Of lew grade incubator or other eggs
in their fresh spring egg supply they
lower the price for all eggs so thai
they will be certain that they have
covered themselves against losses

specialists advise farmers to use an,
lnfertile eggs they may take from thei
lncubators for home consumption an,
to send only fresh eggs to market.

Preventing Premature eurials.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered a prize equal
to $500 for the discovery Of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wIeth-
er, in a given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears a scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circuTat-
ing; it shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

FINDS WILL; GETS $4,000
Engineer Overwhelmed When He
Opens Box and Finds Fortune
Left by Friend.

A windfall, as welcome as it was I'M
expected, came to Harvey A. Acker, a
locomotive engineer on the Reading
railway, living at Allentown, Pa, with
the finding of the will of Radley Mohr,
retired cigarmaker and widely known
sportsman, who died at the age of fifty
six.
Mohr for years, living very modest
ly, boarded with Acker, who was one
Of his cronies, the pair often going
out together for a day with rod or
gun. Mr.. Mohr for several years, on
account Of failing health, did nothing
but hunt and fish.
1t was not known or supposed that
he had any fortune. While cleaning
up his effects the morning after the
funeral Mrs. Acker came across doc
ument which indicated it was Mohrs
will. She showed it to Acker, who
found he was the sole beneficiary of
the estate, and Arthur ]. d. Koenig
clerk of the orphans court of Lehigh
county, was named executor.
The will, besides bequeathing to
Acker small property, said he should
have the contents of a safe deposit
box in one Of the banks, and it told
him where to find the key and how to
open the box. He called on Mr.. Koe-
mig and the two did as directed in the
will. Their eyes opened in astonish-
ment when they found $4,000 in clean
new bills and gold.

TALLY differ in it's habits of eating or
in its food from its eastern relative,
but it is less beautiful in plumage.
The examination of 1862 stomachs
shows that 70 per cent of its food con-
sists Of insects, with few spiders, a
lizard, mollusk shell and eggshells.
One Of the most interesting articles Of
food in the orioles dietary was the
black olive scale, found in As stom-
achs, and amounting to per cent OF
the food. In several cases these scales
formed 80 per cent or more Of the
contents, and in one, 30 individual
scales could be counted. They were
evidently a standard article Of diet,
and were eaten regularly In every
month of the orioles stay except April.
The same family of insects other than
scales, eaten quite regularly, make up
little more than per cent of the
food. They were mostly stinkbugs,
leaf hoppers and tree hoppers. Plant
lice were found in one stomach.
Moths, pupae and caterpillars COM
pose the largest item of the orioles
animal food. The average consump-
ton during its summer stay is little
more than Al per cent. OF these, per-
haps the most interesting were the
pupae and larvae of the codling moth.
These were found In % stomachs,
showing that they are not an unusual
article of diet No less than. IA Of the
pupa cases we're found in one stom-
ach, and as they are very fragile many
others may have been present, but
broken beyond recognition.
The vegetable contingent of the ORR
ole's food is mostly fruit, especially In
June and July, when it takes kindly
to cherries and apricots, and some
times eats more than the fruit grower
considers a fair share, However, no
great complaint is made against the
bird, and 1t is probable that as a rule
it does not do serious harm. With such
good record as an insect eater 1t can
we'll be spared few cherries.

laboratory shows that caterpillars con-
stitute the largest item of the fare of
the oriole The other insects consist
of beetles, bugs, ants, wasps, grass
hoppers and some spiders. The
beetles are principally click beetles,
the larvae of which are among the
most destructive insects known; and
the bugs include plant and bark lice,
both very harmful, but so small and
obscure as to be passed over unno-
ticed by most birds. Ants are eaten
mostly in spring, grasshoppers in July
and August, and wasps and spiders
with considerable regularity through
out the season.
During the stay of the oriole in the
United States vegetable matter
amounts to only a little more than 16
per cent of its food, so that the pos
sibility of its doing much damage to
crops is very limited. The bird is ac-
cused of eating peas to considerable
extent but remains of such were
found in only two cases. One writer
says that 1t damages grapes, but none

GUINEAS ARE MOST
PROFITABLE FOWL
Birds Are Industrious in Hunting
for Their Food-Large Range
Should Be Given.

Taking into consideration the little
trouble and cost of raising, guineas are
a most profitable fowl They hunt for
food in the woods and fields, and do
not come home to get feed as long as
they can forage elsewhere.
Each farm should have at least
few guineas. Large range should be
given, as the fowls will not thrive
when cooped up.
Guineas are also good watch dogs
They give an alarm If animals ap-
proach, and keep it up until the enemy
has left.
A good bird will annually lay about
135 eggs. which can be sold for the
same price as hens eggs.
The cost Of raising guineas is almost
nothing.

PLENTY OF OYSTERS AT wharf
Stock Ample to Meet Sunday De-
mands, the Dealers Say.

There will be plenty of oysters of all
sizes and qualities at the 18th street
wharf market today in readiness for
the Sunday visitors. Late yesterday
afternoon a big fleet of oyster laden
craft was lying at the wharf and it
was estimated that they had aboard
about 5000 bushels of excellent Poto-
mac and bay stock
This supply is large enough to meet
the Sunday demand several times over,
even should no boats arrive today with
fresh cargoes, and several are looked
for by the men at the wharf.
Most of the oysters on sale have ar
rived in the past forty-eight hours and
are in good condition to be eaten raw.
Prices late yesterday ranged from
about 40 to 20 cents bushel wholesale,
and those who want small quantities
today will have to pay but small ad-
vance on these prices. Bay stock will
sell at from a dollar a bushel up.
