Caterpillar Experiment.

The terrible ravagcs of the catcrpillcr in
Louisiana this year have sct the invention of
the inhabitants of that State to work in man
ner which has already produced some wonder
ful results. The Crescent gives the following
description of I'll invention by Mr. Chas Stein
man:
"Thc machine is ss ordinary upright steam
boiler, to generate the steam, fixed upon wheels,
the whole not weighing moro than seventy five
pounds, which renders it very easy to convey
and manage; issuing on either side from the
boiler is tube about seven feet long (Which
can be made any length) vertically placed and
provided with cocks to let on or shut out the
steam. Parallel to and touching this tube is
another of the same size, say one inch bore.
fsas1nountcd by a tank OF reservoir containing
the extcrminating fluid, and also furnished with
faucets. At equal distances Of six inches.
through their whole length, these tubes are
perforated and supplied, at right singles, with
small pipes, the oriiccs of those of the steam
tubes striking in conyerging direction those
OF the fluid tube. The fluid being allowed to
flow through the others; and takes with it the
fluid which is spread i'll minute globuIcs over
and around the plant, instantly killing the
Cotton worm, whether in embryo OF in a state
ofmaturity"

What an industrious Man Can Do in
-SsoA@aSri the West. ytaI -

Z n fit
Tho Davenport Gazette speaks of Mr.. James
Thompson, who came from Pennsylvania to
Scott county, Iowa q dozen years ago; worth
few hundred dollars, He now owns forty
four farms, averaging ono hundred and sixty
acres each, or in all about seven thousand acres
Of land, at least half of which is under cultiya-
tion, the whole will be next year. The land
lies ia Scott and Cedar counties, The past.
year he put under cultivation 1900 acres new
land. He is now having twenty farm dwell
ings, of six rooms each, framed and gotten
ready, iu Davenport, SO they can be hauled to
his farm and gotten ready for his tenants The
tenants get onc-third of the crop and two dol
lars an acre for farming new land, and the
same share Of tho crops with sevcnty-fvc cents
to one dollar OH acre for cultivated land. (:
such an enterprise can succeed in the far
West, VIC may well ask "What can IN indus
tfioas man, d. in the South ?" How manly
unonltivated acres of the richest lands thut
heaven smiles upon arc today, awaiting some
revolutionary touch to make them start into
useful existence! How many landowners
there arc with the means all around them to
build and people villages and towns, Of which
they possess the greater share; and yet who
tries?
No doubt an occasional attempt is made to
do something after this kind, but how quickly
small Obstacles deter and discourage! What
VIC most require is persistent effort, combined
with courage, libcrality and genuine enterprise
that which can wait upon the future for it's re-
ward. But LOW is the time to lay the founda-
tion for success. Now the eyes Of the people
ofthc North and of Europe arc being directed
to the South, and if favorable inducements arc
offered in way that shall become public, and
excite i'll the many the interest they arc calcu-
lated to create in few, VIC would quickly have
an influx of intelligent labor which would aid
lis in rebuilding our shattered fortunes and
digging us out of the Slough of Dcspond in
which the whole State would seem hopcessly
submerged. .--DoHy Chronicle.
