The shoot- done by Mary Luxton, aged twenty-two, and her victim was Ole Hagvorsen, aged twenty-five. The couple had been engaged for several years, but recently Ole had wearied of his first-love. Two weeks ago she came from Crookston to Inkster and secured employment in a dr making shop, near the store where he was employed. She had several interviews with him and endeavored to “make up’ n without result. Satu the irl went into the store, and after talking with Halvor- sen a few minutes, he told her rather rudely not to bother him again or come near him any more. From her muff the girl drew a handkerchief and held it toward Halvorsen, Just he wa about to take it she fired a revolver which she had concealed in the hand- kerchief, shooting him in the abdo- men. ‘Then she turned the weapon upon herself, but before she could shoot Halvorsen caught her hand and got the revolver away from her.

O other insect in Maryland and the South has done so | much damage to stored wheat and corm as has the lit- tle insect known as the grain moth. It is also known as the “white fly,” “weevil,” “stack fiy.” ete. In Mary- jand it is especially injurious to stored wheat, and very often so injures the seed that it is unfit for planting. Corn coming from the South, especially the flint variety, is apt to be full of these insects. Recently a manufacturer of hominy in Baltimore told me they had much trouble from this insect in their corn. An exporter of grain also told me they had to be on the constant lookout for this pest in every cargo of corn or wheat received from the South, Last fall ang winter, while attending the various farmers’ institutes in the different counties, almost invariably this pest came up for discussion. It was originally imported from Europe by the early settlers of Virginia in their supplies of wheat brought from the old country. Once established on American soil, it has spread far and wide throughout the United States, Texas, perhaps, suffering more than | any other state from its ravages. Much | unnecessary loss is incurred each sea- son simply from a lack of information concerning its habits and remedies for its destruction. It is not difficult to detect the presence of this insect in wheat and corn in store. The grain is light and very often peppered full of littie round holes about the size of a pin’s head, the interior of the grain having been eaten out by the young of the moth. Very often the attack is so bad that nothing but an empty hull is left. The parent insect responsible for this destruction is a small gray moth, resembling a clothes moth, and measures only about half an inch with its wings spread. It has a satiny lus- ter, and its hind wings are deeply fringed. The eggs are deposited upon the grain both in the field and in the granary. Usually about a week passes before the egg hatches. The young worm immediately eats its way into the kernel, where it feeds about three weeks before maturity is reached. It then transforms to 2 pupa, from which the adult moth emerges a little later. It passes the winter in barns, gran- aries, storehouses, ¢tc., and when es- tablished in an elevator or granary will breed generation after generation. Soon after harvest the moth flies out from the granaries to the fields and deposits her eggs upon wheat still in shock or stack. The larva passes through the thresher in the grain un- hurt, and is carried back to the gran- ary, etc.” It is.plain from these facts that if granaries are kept free from this pest the shocks will not become infested in the fields. If an individual farmer, however, takes the trouble to disinfect his granary, his wheat shocks will be infested from moths coming from the storehouses of his neighbors, provided he does not thresh very soon after harvest or before the eggs hatch and the larvae penetrate the grain. 1 know there is more or less difficulty in getting a thresher at the proper time, and where the wheat must be left in the fields the farmer should disinfect his granary soon after the wheat is stored. This insect has several nat- ural enemies, and I have bred several small-winged parasites from it. No doubt these agents keep it in check to a limited extent; but we must look to other sources for more efficient rem- edies. The most satisfactory remedy now known is from the fumes of bi- sulphide of carbon. This chemical is a very inflammable, volatile, foul- smelling liquid, as clear as water, with a vapor so much heavier than air it will penetrate every possible crack and crevice in a storehouse or bin. It can be thrown directly upon the grain without injuring its vitality or its edi- ble qualities. Many persons hesitate about using this bisulphide of carbon for fear of fire or injury to the grain. I have never heard of a case where a fire was caused by the use of this sub- stance, or where grain was injured, where it was used cautiously. Gun- powder, gasoline, kerosene, etc., are dangerously explosive when carelessly handled; and so is bisulphide of car- bon. This latter is not explosive in the same sense as gunpowder; but, like gasoline and kerosene, its fumes must be mechanically mixed with the air be- fore it will cause an explosion. There is no danger whatever if used properly. One pound of bisulphide of carbon to every one hundred bushels of grain is all that is necessary for the destruction of insects. It is best to place the ma- terial in shallow dishes or pans upon the grain, and then close the bin tight- ly for at least twenty-four hours. Many persons make a mistake by not using enough of the substance, and then say it is of no account. It is an easy mat- ter to estimate the number of bushels of grain in any enclosure, and then it is not a difficult task to calculate how many pounds of bisulphide should be applied. If it is desired to fumigate empty bins, etc., one pound of the chemical should be used for every 1,000 cubic feet of air space. Bisulphide of carbon is not expensive, and can be Mexican tea or American wormseed (Chenopodium ambrosioides) before the grain was stored. This weed is known in that county as Jerusalem oak, and has a very peculiar odor, espe- cially when dry. It is supposed that the moth is kept from the grain by the odor that is emitted. Whitening Peach Trees: The old New England practice of whitewashing fruit trees seems likely to come into vogue again. The Mis- souri experiment station in a recent bulletin says: Even though the pro- portional difference between the tem- peratures recorded under the different colors is not uniform, it is evident that the darker colors absorb much more heat than the lighter ones. When the sun was not shining the various ther- momeiers registered alike. At one time, during bright sunshine, = differ- ence of 21 degrees was recorded he- tween the white covered and the purple covered thermometers. A difference of 10 to 15 degrees was frequently not- ed between these two. This is suffi- cient to indicate that we might expect considerable difference in the growth and time of flowering of whitened and unwhitened peach trees. The expense of whitening is not great. A common lime whitewash was at first used, but it washed off badly during rainy weather. Finally a white- wash of lime with one-fifth skimmilk added to the water, was tried with much more satisfactory results. About one pound of salt was also dissolved in each bucketful of the whitewash. Four applications of this wash, applied during the winter and spring, are suf- ficient to keep the peach trees thor- oughly whitened. The first whitening should be done early in winter, short- ly before Christmas. The wash may be sprayed on with almost any kind of a spray pump. We found the Bor- deaux nozzle to be satisfactory, as a solid stream could readily be turned on if the lime clogged the nozzle. The whitening should be repeated as often as the lime is washed off by rains. A good wash, however, will adhere well for weeks. The trees need two spray- ings to begin with, just as wood needs two coats of paint in order to cover it well. Two subsequent sprayings are sufficient. The whitewash should be made as thick as can be sprayed through a Bordeaux nozzle. We used a small bucket spray pump and applied about one-half a bucketful, to a tree, at each spraying. The time required to apply the whitewash will vary from five to ten minutes, according to the kind of pump and to the size of the trees, The more trees that are spray-- ed, the cheaper it can be done per tree. Altogether, the cost need not exceed ten cents per tree for the winter. As fungicides are more safely applied to peaches when they are dormant than when they are in leaf, we tried adding copper sulphate to the whitewash. The copper sulphate was dissolved in the liquid used to thin the lime, at the rate of one pound to ten gallons. This dis- ‘ colored the whitewash somewhat, and; another spraying of the wash without | copper sulphate was given to cover it. We are not yet ready to report on the efficacy of the winter application of fungicides for the diseases of the peach. It should not be believed that the winter whitening of the peach will be found a reliable prevention of all classes of injuries caused by cold weather; yet, from the results already given, it is clear that it tends to check swelling of the buds on warm days of winter, and to retard blossoming in spring. We have not been able to de- tect any injury to the trees by this practice. Wherever peach buds are subject to winter killing by fluctuating temperatures and where their flowers are frequently killed by the late spring frosts, we suggest that whitening be tried on a small scale at least, u Medicines and Poultry, We are convinced that doctoring poultry is of little avail. Probably birds could be cured if they would have their diseases diagnosed as humans do and then be put on a regular course of treatmeat involving the giving of med- icine several times a day. But that is not possible to most of those that keep poultry. Therefore, the only system that is practical is to kill all very sick fowls, especially if they have a conta- gious disease. Then keep and feed the others rightly, going through the flock every month or so and carefully in- specting every one of the birds to see if they have roup or other contagious disease. The roup can be told by look- ing into the mouth. If the roup is in process of spreading the little slit in the roof of the mouth will be clogged with a colorless, thick, stringy fiuid, or there may be little blisters, called canker, in the mouth. Profit in Pork.—It can be set down as a rule that the largest profit in rais- ing pork will result from keeping only the best breeds constantly in a growing condition from the time they are born until slaughtered. Have a good field of clover for pasture during the summer and as soon as wheat threshing is over allow them the freedom of the orchard; screenings, small potatoes, pumpkins, and other unmarketable products, and thus utilize what would otherwise be wasted. After the first frost shut them‘ up and feed corn, but let them have an abundant supply of ashes and sat, which should be kept in a small box in the corner of the pen. A liberal sup- ply of charcoal is also good for them. When there is a good bed of coals in the stove throw three or four fire shov- elsful into the swill bucket and it will | aid in promoting digestion. When fat- | tening, quiet and a clean, dry bed mere indispensable in making pork raising bought in twenty-five and fifty-pound cans at ten cents per pound, or in less quantities at a little more per pound.
