Combating the Chigger.
The chigger Is a red, six-legged mlto
so snail that it can scarcely be- seen
with the naked eye. In certain local!.
tine all over tbe corn belt it Is abun
dant from tbe middle of June until late
in August. It seems to be especially
common in wood land and on berry
bashes. It is naturally vegetarian, and
wbea It causes pain to chickens and
children, It Is not because it is search
ing for blood. In fact, entomologists
tell us that the chlggers which burrow
Into the skin, causing red welts, be
cauBO of tbe poison which they ex
crete, by so doing destroy themselves.
, No very effective method of combat
ing the pest has yet been devised.
Washing in hot water and then apply
ing kerosene to tbe affected parts will
do some good. Another good wash is
one part of pure crystals of carbolic
acid in fifty or one hundred parts ot
water. Wallace's Farmer. I

Now that the cross above St. Paul's
has been regilded it is not likely to be
allowed again to gather the accumula
tions ot London's anfcky atmosphere.
Hydrants have been placed In tbe lan
tern below the ball and cross, and by
means of a high-pressure supply they
will be utilized periodically to clean
the goldon cross. The hydants have
been Introduced as a result of an ex
periment last year, when it was found
that two powerful motor fire ouglnes,
coupled together, were unable to throw
water from the ground level to the top
of the dome with sufficient force to be
ot any use in case of fire. Dry mains
have now been laid to a considerable
height, with outlets at different points,
and from these the firemen will work
should the necessity arise, the engines
being coupled to th Other ends ot the
slightest consideration! If copper has
any work to do, it is permitted to do
it without being subjected to articles
in the magazines or editorials in the
newspapers. It is a fickle public! But
still, if we were copper, we should
hardly know whether to be joyful or
aggrieved over this loss ot prestige.
