CHRISTIAN SGIENGE WINS. Miss Brush Held to Have Been of Sound Mind WHEN SHE MADE HER WILL New York, Aug. 30. â€""It is, thereâ€" fore, evident that, however opposed these tenchings (Christian â€" Rceience) may be to the beliefs or notions of others, they aroa founded on the reliâ€" gioune convictions of those professing them. This being so, the Court cannot say that those persons are mentally unsound. The truth or falsity of a religiouse belief is beyond the scope of a judicial inquiry. Thus, the court hae often been asked to pass upon the falsity of Spiritualism, and to hold that a foqilower of this faith, which, like Christian Reience, is conâ€" trary to the convictions of most men, was of nccessity laboring under an incane delusion, but it has uniformly refuged so to declare or hold." Thege declarations, contained in an elaborate opinion by Rurrogate Fitzâ€" gerald, give a summary of his views on the power of the Court to judiâ€" cially determine that a believer in Christian Science is mentally unsound, He refuses to so hold, in admitting to probata tha will of Miss Helen C, Brugsh, about fifty years old, who died of consumption July 7th, 1900, and finds that from the evidence Miss Brush was of sound mind when she executed her will, May 24th, six weeks prior to her death.._____ ‘This decision is one that will be hailed with rejoicing by the membersa of the Fi{st Church of Christ, Scienâ€" tist, of this city, and, in fact; by all Christian Scientists throughout the country, as, under the will of Miss Brush, this church, as her residuary legatee, inherits fully $90,000.

MX k HAS AAVAGED TiE WHEAT $80F. How the Hessian Fly Has Labored and the Result. DAMACGE IN THIS SECTION. the & C2IOPLEDy €T+00909 Included in the tulletin are letters from farmers in various parts of the Province and State, giving their exâ€" perience with the pest. Mr. Gso. E. Fisher, of Froeman, writes: Daweon‘s Golden Chafl has beon rery extensively . sown in Ontario, and has suffered more from the fly than any other variety. Arcadian, (Genesee (Giant, etc., otc., have come through pretty well, but in many 0 . bns EMB PMAE / wvre 48 CAnE M eR P CCCE 1 cases the Dawron‘s Go!lden Chall was nearly all destroyed. Mr. D. T4 Marr, simco®, writes : " Last year and this year the fly has been as abundant in Dawson‘s (Golden Chaff as in other varieties. The only wheat here that escapes the Tly is called the Red Clawson. I cannot understand why tho fly injures the Dawson here and does not with . you. I sowed two weeks â€" late. last â€" year, but my â€" wheat â€" is badly infeeted _ with the fiy. I find that our Dawson wheat that got a strong growth last fall had the least fly. About one acre of a fourâ€"acre field was unusually rich. Here the wheat got a strong growth and here I have as fine wheat as I ever raised as the fly did not trouble it, but the balance of the field was literally caten up." f Some Conclusions. _ Experience with a â€" three years‘ siege of the fly some. forty years since, together with this year‘s exâ€" perience, lead to the following conâ€" clusions ; says the Bulletin. 1. That wheat raising need not be abandoned but the number of acres should be reduced until by reason of such reduction every acre sowed will be raised under superior econditions. 2. That the soin will be so well fitâ€" ted and so fertile that a strong healthy growth will be secured in the fall though the sowing of the seed be delayed 10 to 15 days beyond the usual time. Such preparation of the soil will also help the wheat to recover from any winter injury. 3. That the Hoessian fly injures the wheat more on dryish and poor land than on molst but well drained, rich soils 4. That thick seeding and vigorous growth tend to ward off the Nly. 5. That the resisting power of varâ€" jetios varies greatly. Those _ with large, coarse, strong straw are less liable to injury than weakâ€"strawed and slowâ€"growing varieties. 6. That there woere at least six varieties grown in the State this season that were not appreciably afâ€" fected by the fly, though numerâ€" ous other varieties in the same neighborhoods were much injured. of these only Dawson‘s Golden Chaff has been tested at the statioa, and this has been found to be a â€" superior wheat for general culture, The other resistant varieties are Prosâ€" perity, No. 8, Democrat, Red Rusâ€" sian and White Chall mMediterranâ€" ean. 7. That farmers in this State canâ€" not be induced to cut and burn stubbles with a view to destroying the insect, since the practice _ of seeding to grass and clover is alâ€". most universal and burning the stubâ€" ble, if possible to do so, would desâ€" troy the young meadow plants. Work is too pressing also in midsumâ€" mer to justify destroying the volunâ€" teer wheat that comes from the harvest shatterings. Much may be done, however, by sowing early in August, one or more strips on the gide or sides of the field. The plants on these strips come on early and form ideal conditions for the layâ€" ing of the eggs of the fly. Later, after the remainder of the field has been sowed the strips are ploughed deeply (using a skim or jointer atâ€" tachment to the plough) fitted and sowed. This preventive measure is about the only one which is worth considering in addition to the late sowing of hardy varieties on well fitted, naturally fertile soil or soil made fertile by the liberal.application of farm manures and commercial ferâ€" tilizers.. Life Story of Hessian Fly. A few years after the landing of Hessian troops on Staten and Long ago, in a paper read before a meeting of the Canadian Medical Association in Toronto, he had anticipated the theory propounded by Dr. Koch. Dr. Islands in 1779, wheat fields in More or 1688 _ UMBTB® _ _/ «> oo done by the insect in New York wheat fields every year for more than a century, but the notable "Hecsian fly years," Or_ YCArS of excessive damage, have been thoso of 1779, 1817, 1844, 1845, 1346 and 1877 ; it is estimated that the loss from the pest in western NKew York in 1846 was not less than 500,000 bushels. Another period of unusual destructiveness began in New York in 1899 and it has just â€" culâ€" | minated with the crop of 1901, and | the result is that thousands of 1 t EDT sileqe seactiaee these localities were TLY"b®"", 0) q new insect pest which soon recoived the popular name of the »Hessian Fly," for it was supposed to have been brought to thr, country in 5 20 T702 ho insect new Insect | the popular Fly," for it been broug! straw by t spread quit tions, and The Hoessian fly is a very fragile, darkâ€"colored gnat or midge with two wings; it is about an eighth of an inch long and resembles quite closeâ€" ly a_ small: mosquito. Thero aroe two generations _ or broods of â€" the insect in New York, each brood passing through four distinct stages, namely, (1) <£g€, (2) maggot, (3) pupa or "IMlaxseed," and (4) adult, winged insoct or the fly. One brood works on the winter wheat in the fall and the next brood attacks the same â€" plants in â€" the spring. The Hossian fly is distinctiveâ€" ly a wheat pest, but it will also work i1 barley and rye. Some correspond ents report that they found what they suposed was the same pest in quack grass and in timothy fields this season, but it is quite probable that it was a closely allioed insect. There is apparently no authentic record of the Hessian ifly working in any other plants in this country than the three first mentioned. The most important feature in the lifeâ€"history of the pest from the standpoint of controlling it, is the lime of emerrence of the f«l‘ broo ‘ of flies. This arises from the fact that the chief means of preventing loss from fhel pest is in sowing â€" lave enough in the fall to avoid infestaâ€" tion. For the average season or norâ€" madi conditions,dates at which sowing is comparatively safo have been deâ€" termined for the principal winter wheat districts,. For example, the dates after which sowing may be safely undertakei» in Ohio yary over a period of at least a month, or from approxlmate{y September 10th in the north to October 10th in the south Wheat sown after the dates menâ€" tioned, or after intervening dates Tor intervening latitude®, will germinate in normal geasons after the) HWossian fly has disappeared, and be free from attack. However, as# temporature in aifected by altitude, the question of latitude is not the only one to conâ€" sider. Coâ€"opgeratioa Against the Pest. It is very important to get neighâ€" boring farmers to coâ€"operate in late sowing, for one infested field of early sown wheat may furnish flies enough in the epriag to work serious injury in nearby fields, The unusual destrucâ€" tivenoss of the pest during the past sonson should discourage no one {rom continuing to grow wheat. One muét take risks in growing any crop. Row as late as your local conditions wil! permit, sow intelligencly in a well prepared geed bed and on good soil, get your neighbors to do the same, ] and you wili circumvent the Hesesian | fly nearly every time. _A method | which is often recommended, but unâ€" | fortunately little practised, is to sow | narrow decoy strips o fwheat about | September first or lato in August. Many of the fall brood of flies emergâ€" , | ing from the midsummer *flaxgeceds" | | will be decoyed to lay their egge on | these strips, and their progeny can be destroyed by ploughing under the ; | decoy plants ; do not let the decoy strips stand more than four weeks, _ | or but a few weeks after sowing the , | main crop, There is no way of getâ€" , | ting at the epring brood of the inseet | | except to destroy the crop by ploughâ€" ing or cuttng for fodder.

KQGH STOLE HIS THEORY. very dobutful Startiing Statement by a Montreal Professor. WROTE SIMILAR PAPER ONCE. Montreal, Sept. 2.â€"Dr. J. G. Adams=, professor of pathology at MeGil, and bacteriologist for the Dominion of Canada, who has just returned from London, where he attended the eesâ€" «iohs of the tuberculosis congress as one of the representatives of Canada, made a rather etartling statement to day, which throws an entirely new light upon the theory propounded by Prof. Koch, of Berlin, with regard to the non tran@mssion of tuberculogi= from cattle to human beinge. Dr. Adams stated that two years Adams‘ paper was entitled "On the significance of boviae tuberculosis, and its eradication and prevention in Canada," and was read at a meeting of the Canadian Medical Assgociation, held in Toronto on August 28th. 18989. A copy of this paper was officially transmitted to the Consulâ€"General for Germany at Ottawa and to the Berâ€" lin society, ol which Prof, Koch is the head.
