How to Destroy the CuTCuIiO and
Improve MalariOus Atmosphere.
Colonel LuCius A. IIardee, Of jackson

very interesting experiments and diR
cOveries in tho annihlatiOn of the curcu.
io and other troublesome insects by con.
cussion, as well as driving away the pols.

through the same agency, At n recent
meeting Of prominent citizens in Jack.

Col. llardee explained his discovery as
lOllOws.
II claim to have utilized conclusion in
the perfect annlhilatiOn Of the hOrtcultu.
rist pest known as CurCuliO. My atten.
ton, early last spring, was called 10 the
fact that in the vicinity Of the new rail
road, which runs Immediately through
my orchard, the curculio was being driven
To the extreme end of my orchard. It's
well known to all pomologists that this
enemy does its work at night. The cars
passing through my orchard (Which Is sit.
lated Just one mile from the depot In your
city, blows It's whistle in passing Just after
ulghtlall, and again In the morning before
daylight was led to the belief that the
noise of the whistle, or jarring, was the
cause OF their disappearance from the
vicinity of the railroad. To satisfy my.
self placed two pounds Of powder in the
hollow of live oak stump Immediately
in the vicinity where they promised the
entire destruction Of some plums, peaches,
Nc This powder was fired of one calm
night, and II not only destroyed every
curcullO, hut every winged insect in my
entire orchard. My attention was called
10 the marvellous growth Of my peach
trees and vines on the line Of the railroad
| could In no way account for this until |
discovered the wonderful effect that the
two pounds of powder had on my other
trees.

CussiOn will destroy all animaCules and |

1t is well known that during the late war
yellow fever or no other contagious made
their appearance in our Southern cities,
and It is also known that Grants entire
