A NEW WHF.vr I'lXi H10J1 KmiOl'K. Prof. .. IT. Comstoek, iu bulle tin No. 11 of the Agricultural Ex periment Station of Cornell Uni versity, has given in detail an ac count of the life history of the well-known European corn saw fly, which, curiously enough, he finds very abundant on the Uni versity farm. This insect lias not previously been recorded in this country. Prof. Comstoek liuds that the adults emerge early in May, oviposit about the middle of the mouth, and that in a very short time" the larvse work through nearly the entire length of the straw, descending early in July to the root. Here, after cutting the straw nearly through an inch above the ground, they spin silken cocoons and remain dormant un til early the following spring, when they complete their trans formations. He finds that their presence in the stalk reduces the abundance of the grain a little, if any, and that the principal damage is the lodg ing of the grain. He has found the species in wheat alone. He has seen parasites in two pases, but has not been able to secure good specimens. He thinks that the insect is not confined to the vicinity of Ithaca, but that it will be found elsewhere. Experiments made to ascertain the amount of damage by weighing the graiu from the infested and non-infested heads showed iu ever case a decid ed superior weight in favor of the infested stalks. The Explanation offered -undoubtedly the correct one is that the oviposition takes place early, and that only the largest stalks are chosen. Insect Life. COST OF WINTERING STOCK. R. JJ. Eoger, the well-known cattle man of La Grande was seen by a reporter at the St. Charles yesterday afternoon. Speaking of the losses in Eastern Oregon, Mr. Roger said that the estimatess are exaggerated. "In some localities," said he, "I have no doubt stockmen lost about all they had, but it was their own fault. In the Grande Eonde valley the loss was very small. I myself usually winter from 1000 to 1400 head, but owing to the high price of hay I started in with only about 800 last fall I gradually sold off during the win ter so that I lost nothing. Of course I fed hay and feed as my cattle were for market. Hay was as high as S20 a ton. The eost of feeding beef cattle through the winter is from $15 to 820 per head,, whereas cattle not intended for market can be wintered for $5 a head. If the cattle men in the districts where the losses were the greatest had had $5 worth of hay to feed each head of stock during the worst weather, they would not have much to complain of now." Mr. Roger has just returned from the Sound, where he is inter ested in a large meat market and he will leave for Eastern Oregon in a day or two. Portland Ore gonian. WHOLESALE STOCK STEALING. Reports are received from par ties rounding up their horses be tween Salmon and Snake rivers, that the range has been almost de pleted during the past winter by thieves. Frank JIcGrane and John Roberts are the heaviest losers, they being out about 500 head. The thieves operated in a systematic manner, and there is no question they are thoroughly organized, with men stationed at different points who attend to the shipping aud disposing of the stock. A large raft was found on Snake river, which has been used in crossing the horses. After crossing the river the horses were in all probability driven through the Wallowa country, and shipped in small lots to the East, probably beyond the Mississippi, wnere they could be easily disposed of without exciting suspicion. The 1 wealth of Idaho county consists largely of her stock interests, and every year thousands of dollars are lost to our citizens through the depredations of a gang of thieves. Our stockmen should or ganize and spare no expense to rid the country of these despera does and effectually put a stop to this nefarious business, which is assuming gigantic proportions. The Hessian fly is abundant throughout portions of Southern Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Ne braska. The Prairie Farmer says: The report of the Iowa State Agricul tural Society for the last year states that there are now only 540,700 sheep in the state. The falling off in the flocks last year amounted to the large number of 62,252 head. A PUts'imrg iiriimfactnriug firm h-'is received lnrge orders for shovels from Portugal. The lacrf owned by the feminine members of the Astor family is said to be worth at least SviOO.OOO. Oliver W.

At least, thirty persons were burned to denth m the destruetion by fire of the Chenango county poor-housa at Preston, N. J.

A rancher in Hay Fork valley, Cal., found within half a mile of his ranch the dead bodies of forty five deer piled within a space of ten feet square, the effects of star vation. - Twenty-seven valuable horses, the property of a Cambridge gen tleman, were burned to death, ilay 10, in Oxford Stable, the finest boarding stable of Cambridge, Mass. The loss was $20,000. Through mistakes iu book keep ing the army accounts of (ieneral John C. Freemont with the gov ernment has, since 181S, shown a deficit of $19,000. The comptroll er, in a receut investigation of ac counts, discovered the mistake and that the government has been in debted to Freemont in the sum of $20,000 for forty years. Recently the Australian ballot system was given a trial at the municipal election in St. Paul. The experiment was completely successful. It required a keen observer indeed, says the Pioneer Press, to discover that a city of over 20,000 inhabitants was in the throes of municipal election, and that, too, more exciting than its predecessors for many years.

Kead It. Akron, Colorado, bas probably witbin the past three years experienced the most rapid growth of any city in the west. It is surrouuded by a conutry unsurpassed by auy on eartb for the richness and fer tility of its soil and the heunttes of its climate. Any, and everything that can be raised in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio can here be grown in the greatest pro fusion. Wheat crown in the near vicinity of Akron, took a diploma, for being the best grain of the kind exhibited at the Nebraska state fair, held at Lincoln, iu September, 1989 And all crops grown in this latitude can be raised here as suc cessfully as anywhere on earth. GOVERNMENT LAND. There are yet thousands of acres of government land vacant, which can be taken under the homestead, pre-emption and timber-culture acts, which a uersou can have for the taking. A bountiful gov ernment will make you independent in a few years if you will but act now. The surface of the country is nearly a perfect level, but still sloping enough to aJloni good drainage. No breaks or draws such as ruin or deface so many western farms. No protracted struggle with rocks. Your first glance at the country would remind you of one vast meadow, only waiting the plow of the husbandman to transform it into an Eden of beauty aud productive ness. The citizens advertising committee of Akron have placed in the hands of the Wegt Side Improvement Company, one thousand city lots that are to be given away for advertising purposes, and any person who will aid them in advertising their advantages can have one of these lots tree of charge, by directing a com munication to J. Faehndrich, Secretary at Akron, Colorado, and sending him the names of ten people who are interested in the west and liable to be looking for western location and sending four cents in stamps for return of deed. These lots are now worth from oU to $fl2;j, and will in the course of a year, if the predictions of knowing ones prove true, be worth our times what is now asked for them. It is an opportunity never before offered to secure an absolute title to a piece of property in an enterprising and growing western city, Tbe lots referred to are each 25x132 ft. in size and all the streets upon w iiich they abut are 60 and 80 feet wide. They are in what is known, as "GleDwood," an Akron, Colorado, suburb and the citizens' committee through Mr. Faehndrich, its secretary, guarantees them to be smooth, level ana upon a signtiy elevation, over looking tbe town of Akron. The title is also guaranteed to be absolutely per fect Akron contains a set of business men who are alive to her advantages as well as her interests, and this year 3U,000 is being expended bythamto induce people looking tor western location to settle amongst them. They want and are de termined to have 50,000 people in this city by 1S95. They want labor iu their coal mines, they want capitalists to develope their silver and gold mines. Akron is to-day the largest and most prosperous city in the state east of Den ver. It is a division station of the li. fc M. R'y and is the southern terminus of the Akron & Holvoke R'v. which will, in all probability, be built to Colorado Springs in the near future. Akron is in the line of tbe Northwestern R. R. build ing into Denver, and is sure to catch it, and the Beaver Valley branch of the B.& M. will also be built to Akron. The B. & M. shops are there and material is now on the ground to greatly enlarge them. The railroad employs 250 men at that point now. The citv is and will he th railroad centre of that portion of the state. The population is now nearly two thousand and by January 1st next, they believe it will be 5,000. A United States land office was recently located at that point, which means much to that citv. It will bring every settler on the public do main in that section to that city. It will be, and is, headquarters for land seekers ror mat entire portion of the state. COLORADO EXCURSIONS. On May 20tb. and in June excursions will be run from all points to the east and south to Akron. The rate will be one fare for the round trip, over tbe Chicago,Rock Island and Pacific from Chicago aud in termediate points, and over the Missouri Haciti from St. Louis and the south to Omaha. Nebraska. From Omaha take the B. & M. R. R. to Akron. The above oiler of a free lot applies only to those who will prior to June 20 aid them in a reasonable way, iu making these excursions a success. 74-75 NOTICE OF INTENTION. LandOfficeatThe Dalles.
