An Illinois farmer In Practical Farmer gives his method. He says: On tho side of the corn field that the bugs are entering, leave two or three rows for them to work upon. Then cut four to six rows as It may require to keep moisture, and lay It In a solid row along the good corn, having the tassels lap over the butts of the stalks. A few of the bugs will pass over this layer of corn, but not enough or them to do ay damage, whllo the remainder will collect under It and die there. This mtggestlon Is well worth a trial by those troubled with these pests. THETALEOFADUUMfii Thrilling Iteportorial Experience. Locked inaltoomwithft Young Lady.
