The seventeen-year brood will swarm
from the eastern end Of Long Island west
ward and south to the Mississippi River,
At Cairo ILL.,, and as far north as Central
Georgia. The whole or portions of twenty
States are covered by this brood.
There are three regions where they will
be especially thick-one covering New Jer-
sey, Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania,
the second covering all Of Indiana, the
greater part of Ohio, and Southern Michi-
gan, and a third covering western North
Carolina, eastern Tennessee and northern
Georgia. The records OF this brood have
been kept from 1715 to 1902. The thir-
teen-year brood appears only in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Geor-
gia and Tennessee.
The Government advises against the
planting of young orchards in regions
where the locusts prevail. Such paintings
should be deferred until Fall, when dan
ger from the swarm will be past. Young
trees already planted should not be pruned
this Winter or Spring.
Some other ameliorative measures are
recommended, such as manipulating the
insect from young trees, sprays at the time
Of emergence and withdrawing Of trees at
the beginning of the laying period.
Little permanent injury is wrought ex-
cept to young orchards and nursery stock
through the boring of the fly into the
branches. Precautionary measures can be
taken that will obviate most Of the damage.
The department says that this will prob
ably be one of the largest locust years on
record, unless weather and other condi-
tions should serve to check the outbreak.
Another remarkable year for them was
1868
The northern and southern broods over
lap in the States of Tennessee, North
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
Sometimes locust will crawl out Of the
ground before it is time and then, realiz-
ing the fact will build curious little pile
Of mud around itself known as locust
chimney" and live in that until the right
season to appear has arrived.
An accomplished naturalist has given an
exact description Of what is seen when the
locust emerges from the earth. The va
rious steps of this process are illustrated
in the accompanying photographs.
AS the naturalist sees the operation, the
locust pushes its head out of the ground
and crawls out at the surface, leaving a
round hole about half an inch in diameter
to mark the point Of its entrance into the
upper world. The hour of its arrival is
usually near sunset. It is now a shiny,
brown creature about an inch long, with

in this country. They have been
used by tired men to numb their
sense of fatigue and thus enable
them to work harder and go faster.
These things, together with the
strain, have hardened arteries. A set
of hardened arteries are about as
useful to the owner as hardened
old garden hose attached to high
pressure water system.
Now unless one likes the idea of a
short life or likes the thought OF
his family, he has good reason to
take the trouble to give some time
and thought to his health.
He is foolish, indeed, who over
works and underplays in his youth
that he may ''loaf" in his old age.
He is so likely not to have any old
age.

Threshing Time Fires.

The golden grain in stacks repre-
sents the years product of the soil,
and the seasons effort and labor of
the farmer, his family and hired
help.
The crops throughout the state
are bountiful. Shall they be safe
guarded against fire and saved for
their intended use Of food and feed
for man and beast2
Over $4,000 worth of grain In
stacks was destroyed by ires caused
by threshing engines last year in
Wisconsin. There was a further con-
siderable loss on buildings and straw
stacks from this cause.
A few simple, inexpensive precau-
tions will insure the safety of your
grain stacks.
Clean up and remove all dry grass,
weeds and other combustible mater
ials from the yard in which grain is
to be stacked.
On the principle of not putting ''all
your eggs in one basket" do not
stack all your grain in one place, but
have two or more sets of stacks.
Do not stack your grain too near
buildings. A fire in the grain stacks
may destroy your buildings also,a or a
chimney spark may set the stacks on
fire.
Do not place the stacks within 20C
feet from railroad track.
A plowed fire guard, of not less
than six burrows, around each set OF
stacks will protect them from run
ming fires.
Smoking on or around grain or
straw stacks should not be permit
ted.
See that the threshing> engine
smoke stack is equipped with a good
effective spark arrester.
Every threshing crew should carry
along two or more approved, chemi-
cal fire extinguishers to combat in
cipient fires.
Farmers should place near each
set of stacks some barrels filed with
water and few pals.
The engineer should be required to
keep all oily waste in metal recepta-
cles.
Do not hazard the product on
which you have spent months of care
and labor.

1t is natural for us to prefer riding
to walking.
But life insurance companies, fig
uring out their unexpected losses due
to policy holders dying earlier than
they were expected to- find that they
are paying a great increase to the
families of middle-aged men who
have died of heart and kidney diseas-
es and of paralytic strokes.
The reason is pretty defnitly es-
tablished. There is too much nervous
and mental rush on the part of some.
For some. too much physical work
crowded into few years, followed by
too much rest and iii fitting laziness,
Hearts grown to q size which will
meet the needs of man who labors
