The Hessian Fly In Wheat. This Insect, which is very iibnndunt In lVnnsylvniilii, is often known rut the "lly"' or the "wlvut ll.v." It !s respon sible for a nvgf. innoiint, of loss enrfc yenr, often tl.wtroyiiia one (jimrter of the crop nml is piirtieiihu-ly injurious ifu Wet seasons. lirFK HlsitmY. There nre two lirooils of this p-.eet each year. The wiuyed fly appears in Au)imt tinrl Septeml)i'r, ami searches for the young winter w heat to i?ay Its egffs on, nd places them on the leaf blades, anywhere, from one to thirty on n blade. In four or fivu days tbo eRgs hnteh Mid the youiiff rnncf;Dts erawl down tbt bladc, enter Uio heuth nnd pass dorn to the joint, Hwt t hey stay, sucVIng the juiee from the 'Innt until botit, the end of Novfinhit!. when they turn brown and lmnlen. Tills Is called the llnyvseod stage. -In this condition ! thny ias the winter. In the spring, ( about'the middle or nd rf April, they ! chan.70 to the full grown form, the winged fly. These, nt tuieo begin to lay tfrelr eggs as before., -wtd the history ns ab-endy given for the fall brood. Is repavUed: the filet from'thls brood, ) poirring In Aujrnrt antf Septemljer, to lay "4 ho eggs on tl vlnt'r wheat. This, In tHcf, Is tho lite histiwy of the Hes sian fly, TRawntnsivv. !f rom what has been.given, it i plain :tht there is no treatment of tlx) seed which will donrv good nor Is spraying ofiny possible so.

TThere is fcwdonqy in rennTlrani, as well aa loawhore, for the far.m (Mi'h year to tet bis ar wing done llMVe earlier than the year before. This 1b directly favorable to the fly.

Some kinds of wheat are ietw at itaolced by tho y than others. Bolting tho field, with a lioitay roller, whoa 4he 6aAs are smootJi and -.free from stones, ab it the first of Octtiber, is of value in some cases. Tjettinirtitinnn cmTem. th fiuli as soon aw two. or three bladoc from each root sTppoar., also helps, the S eheep eating tho oggs-of tho fly, along with the leaven. Crop on poor land usually suffer most; honce tho ue of fortilkers to enrich 61: o soil, aid in keopirrnr down tho insoat. 4. iYhero the fly Is .ulroady in the whoat, cutting a Idttlo higher than usual and plowing the stubble under at once, .-will kill the insoots beforn tboy naye .-cnanged to the .vinged stage. Burning the stubbU is 1ho beneficial at tbis.titno. SCMMART. The f.y tnust bo killod starved. To kill as wouy as poHsible, iplant a small piooa early, as a trap for tha fly to lay on, then plow it under and thug kill th eggs from which tho spv'.ng brood cornea. - To starve .the fly do not aslant until about Soptomber 20th, o that the fly will die before it can find any wheat to lay Its eggs on. If both theao methods are (used to gether, and if .all who ralno wheat in any region will work togethor to do thin, but' littlo (trouble from tho peat should occur. Many farmers in the State are fallow ing this plan already and with ood BuocoHs. One writes "I plant a trap piece early, and my aain crop late, and am novor troubled with tho fly, while somo of tho farmers In this township sometimes lose ono-nuurter of thoir crop." If results liko this cun be obtained in such un eusy way it will certainly pay to try these methods. H. T. Fkknald, State ZoologUt.

When a mill, an elevator or n gruuary becomes Infested with weevil, bisul phide of carbon is the cheapest and most effective tiling to er.hirinie ito the pest. So deadly is tlio ga, he vover, and so rapidly dees it act that the ut most earn niu.it bo taken in applying' tlm bisulphide. It Is usually sprinkled over the grain from watering pots. Tho . liquid is rapidly converted into a gas, ' nud the hitter sinks through tho grain, carrying death to tlm weevil and even to tho nuhntched eggs. So long ns tlio pcr.tons applying tho liquid stand above the point of applica tion they nro pretty safo from tho tntnes, but occasionally the workmen brenthn n little of the gns and have to be removed at once to the open air, as the heart is quickly paralyzed by the action of the bisulphide. It is usual to treat the lower floors of a grunnry first, so that those employed in the work may keep constantly above the gas. Any animal, ns n cut or a dog, shut n;i in an npnrtiuent where tho bisulphide is do ing its work is found dead when the place is opened. Chicago Inter-Ocenu, A Cuban Milkman.

A Singular Calculation, III a recent number of Power a singu lar calculation is presented by J. A. Renie.

This would be enough, the writer estiniutos, to cover tlio entire surfaoe of the curth to u depth of about 800 feet,' to convert which into stonm, using good boilers, would require some 4,000,000, 000,000,000 ton's of coul.
