The boy was visiting at McClure, Bnyder county, and olimb- ed a tree to feast on crab apples. He had consumed several when he fell from the tree and died in great agony in less than ten minutes, The reason an autopsy wad held was because a fire nearby had scorched branches and partially rossted the Aruit on one side of the tree, TO COMBAT HESSIAN FLY. By Propogsting Goats of a Species Hostile to the Destructive Insect, To quell ww plague of Hessian fly, which is doing great damage to wheat in Bouthern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma, the Government issending to that region large consignments of goats of aspecies hostile to the destruc- tive insect, which will be distributed over the infested areas. The guat, a very minute species, is the principal enemy of the fly, which, but for its interference, would practi cally annihilate the wheat-growing in- dustry of this country. It is known to science as Polyknotus, and operates in a very peculiar fashion, laying its eggs in the eggs of the Hessian fly before the latter are hatched. This does not prevent the maggot-like larvae of the pest ftom hatching out, and their destructive capacity—they suck the sap of the young wheat plants—is not diminished. But they do not trans form into flies. Instead, gnats emerge from their bodies, to repeal the per- formance and continue the business of fly-destruction. The distribution of goats for the pro- tection of the wheat crop is in line with a new plan of operations, by which friendly bugs are to be system- atically utilized for policing the culti- vated areas of the country, to regulate the rogue insects. This plan, it might be sald, was long ago adopted by Nature herself. All that the Govern- ment is trying to do is to offer intelli gent assistance-—the idea in view being to aid the farmers by keeping the whole United States under sur- veillance. Whenever it is found that any destructive pest is rapidly increas- ing in a certain section it may often be practicable to fight it, or perhaps to ward off a serious outbreak, by the transportation of insect enemies from some other region to the scene of the trouble. A fs fr PR ——— The Farmer and the Grange Falr Every farmer should be interested in keeping up the Grange Fair, which is a credit to the organization in Cen- tre county. It is marvelous how this institution has developed from a one-day picnic to a great agricultural fair, and that without at any time charging admis sion, This success is all the more a marvel when in the meantime fairs charging admission have gone into bankrupticy. It is becoming the far- mer to do all in his power to stimulate and assist in maintaining this high standard of success attsined by the one Exhibition and Fair conducted not only by farmers, but also in their in- terests. This can be done by placing on exhibition by the hundreds of far mers, the cereals—wheat, rye, oata, barley corn buckwheat : seeds —clover, timothy, ete., — vegetables—an end- less variely ; sud antiques for the rel- ic department. For esch meritorious article a cash premium is paid, and this is paid when the article is deliver. ed at exhibition building.
