THE MIDGE.
Th* Damage Done by This Pest and the
Best Way to Hold It In Check.
The pear midge is one of the insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
are causing a good deal of injury in the
eastern states.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling a diminutive mosqui
to. It makes its appearance very early
in the season before the pear blossoms
open. The female deposits her eggs in
the latter by piercing the petals or the
calyx. The midge larvte live on the
substance of the pear tissue, destroying
the seed and checking the growth of the
fruit, which decays and drops in early
summer. Our illustration shows a sound
young pear and one deformed by the pear
midge larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact that
there is no period at which it is within
reach of ordinary insecticides. The eggs
are laid in the bud before it opens, and
the young larvae get into the heart of
the fruit before it is fully formed. The
adult fly does not feed and is hence be
• yond our reach. It is only after the in
jury is done that the insect goes under
ground and within reach of destructive
agencies.
As a preventive measure it is recom
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set and that
every infested or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
the following practice is recommended.
Cultivate as usual, or if the orchard
is in grass or clover plow under after
June 15 as soon as may be. Top dress
with kainit 1,000 pounds to the acre to
benefit trees as well as to kill the in
sects. As soon as proper, say early in
August, sow crimson clover. This will
use up the potash not required by the
. fruit trees and will store nitrogen as
Well as occupy the ground. Early the
following spring turn this sod under as
deeply as may be proper. It should be
done before the pear buds are developed
in order to head off and destroy any
midges then in the pupa state near the
surface of the soil. This practice is at
the same time the best for the benefit of
the orchard. —St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
JOHN BULL IN AFRICA.
The Crafty Ohl Gentleman Now Owns About
1,400,(100 Square Miles.
The latest acquisition of African ter
ritory gives Great Britain an unbroken
line across the length of Africa from
the Mediterranean and the Nile to the
extreme point of the continent. In all,
this territory, held in various ways,
from Cape Colony up to the “occupa
tion” of Egypt, is in extent about 1,400,-
000 square miles and has a population
of 30,000,000. In the Nile valley it in
cludes incomparably the best of north
Africa. In Uganda it holds the key to
the lakes of central Africa, nearly as
large as our own lake system. The new
treaty gives it the high land west of
. Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher
and healthier than the eastern, in Ger
man hands.
The new conquests of the British
South Africa company add the great ta
blelands of the interior of subtropical
Africa, in much of which white men
live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the
only vital European settlement in all
Africa. As it stands this great high
way holds two-thirds of all of Africa in
which Europeans can live and carry on
efficient administration. It has the
most fertile tract in the continent in
Egypt, its healthiest in Cape Town, its
greatest gold mines and the only region
from which tropical Africa can be con
trolled.
Still more important is its relation to
African water courses. A steamer can
* start at Alexandria and run, when the
mahdi’s successor is cleared away, to a
point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 125
miles from Lake Tanganyika. This runs
to within 70 miles of Lake Nyassa. From
this lake the Shire river, broken at
Murchison falls, descends to the Zam
besi and the Indian ocean. From a nav
igable point on the Congo is less than
100 miles to Lake Tanganyika. The
• Aruwini runs as near the Nile. It is
possible to start at the mouth of the Zam
bezi and reach the mouth of the Kongo
or Nile with less than 200 miles of land
travel, and the key and center to this
great system is now in English hands.

HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.
Books Should Be Well Chosen and Read
Carefully, Not Devoured.
Study is like a dinner. The viands
must be well chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured, then well turned over in
the mental stomach for awhile until
with ease and comfort they are perfect
ly digested and furnish nutriment to
the brain. Most students study without
thought, which is like eating without
digesting. Others read merely as a fad
and soon forget all they may have
learned.
The most satisfactory method of study
is the digestive. It is the thorough one
—the one that gives strength to the
brain. Take the subject you are study
ing. Read a few lines or a few pages,
as the case may be, then put the book
down and think on what you have read.
Turn it about in your mind from every
standpoint. Do not accept it immediate
ly. Argue for and against it in your
mind. In other words, masticate it.
You need not be at your leisure to do
, this. Do it in your walks, in your idle
moments, at any time. When you have
satisfied younfeif on the subject, go on
with a little more in the same way. In
a short time you will find yourself
more a thorough student than if you
had read all at a sitting. The best edu
cated man in the end is the man who
learns slowly, but surely.—New York
Advertiser.
