Cure for the Pench.ROror.

NJ. u. Bateham says that after tw"
years. trial Of carbolic soap he feels
quite safe In recommending its use as
the cheapest and best method yet found
for the prevention Of injury by the
peach-borer, and presumes it will be
equally as efhcacious for the apple
borer. His method of using it Is as
follows: stTake a five-pound can of soap
(costing only $2) and turn it into bar
rel one-third full of hot water, stir it oc-
caslonally and let it stand for few
hours, or over night, for the soap to
dissolve; then fill the barrel with cold
water, or I sometimes use soapsuds
from the kitchen for this purpose. The
liquid is now fit for use. It is of q
milky appearance, and pnngent but
not offensive odOr. 1t is too strong for
using on plants, but will not hurt the
bark or wood of trees, applied with a
paint brush around the base Of the tree,
taking care to have the liquid enter all
crevices; it Immediately destroys all
the insects eggs that have been depos-
tied, and any young worms which have
| not penetrated further than the bark !;
| and believe that for some weeks at
least, unless heavy rains occur, the
odor prevents the moth from depositing
eggs. One application in July or
early in August is sufficient. The
barrel of liquid described is sufficient
for thousand trees of bearing size,
and an active lad can do the work
| in two days.

A Short Hay Crop.

Advices from all the New England
States represent the hay crop as very
short this season-in many places not
worth cutting. 1t is evident, there
fore, that hay will be high and scarce
next fall and winter. This fact should
admonish our Southern planters to
take heed in times. and provide full
supply of home forage. Save all the
crab grass, pea vines, and everything
else that will answer as feed for stock.
BY !, little attention during the fall,
enough can be gathered to make us in
dependent on the hay question:. 7to'-
,sips, also, may be made to help out
amazingly, and they may yet be sow'n.
But it should be done at once. Tt is
rather late for Ruta Bagas, but the
Norfolk, Globe, and Yellow Aber-
deen-all excellent for stock-may yet
be sown, and large crops realized.
Green pastures for winter, of rye,
wheat, oats, or barley, should also be
provided abundantly. Sow in Scptem
ber, in rich, mellow soil, and, if you
want to see an astonishing growth i'll
mid-winter, apply, and harrow in with
the seed, about 400 pounds to the acre
OF guano and superphosphote in equal
parts.
Now is THE TIME TO WORK, plant
ers cannot afford to pay three dollars
hundred for hay.-nobtle Register.

GfeasIng Wagons.

The following extract from the Scien-
tif1c Press refers to a matter Of so much
importance and so much neglected,
that we have no hesitation in bringing
1t before the attention of farmers:
decreasing buggies and wagons is of
moro Importance than some people
imagine. Many Il wheel is ruined by
oiling too plentifully. a we'll made
wheel will endure constant wear for
ten to twenty years, if care Is taken to
use the right kind and proper amount
of oil but If this matter is not attended
to, the wheel will be used up in five or
six years, or maybe sooner. Lard
should never be used on q wagon, for it
will penetrate the hub and work its
way out around the lemons OF the spoke
and spoil the wheel. Castor oil is
good material for use on an iron axle;
just oil enough should be applied to n
spindle to give 1t Il light coating; this
is better than more, for the surplus put
! on will work out at the ends and be
forced by the shoulders and nut into the
! hub around outside the boxes. To Oil
an axletree, first wipe the spindles clean
with q cloth wet with turpentine, If it
won't wipe without it. On a buggy or
! carriage, wipe and clean Off tho back
and front ends of the hubs, and then
| apply n very small quantity Of castor
oil, or some especially prepared luhri-
Gator near the shoulders and point"

81 That's How"

Having nothing to work with but 4
small shovel, a little fellow, after a great
snow storm, began to make path
through large snow bank before his
grandmother's door.
"How do you expect to get through
that drift?' asked a man passing along.
"By keeping at it, said the boy,
"that'S how!'
That is the secret of mastering almost
every difficulty under the sun. If Il
hard task is before you, stick to it. DO
not keep thinking how large or hard it
is; but go at it, and little by little, it
will grow smaller until it is done.
If fault is to be cured or Il bad habit
broken up, it cannot be done by merely
being sorry, or only tryinga little. You
must keep fighting it, and not give up
fighting until it is got rid of.
If you have entered your Masters
service, and are trying to do good, you
will sometimes find hills of difficulty in
the way. Things will often look dis
and you will not seem to
make any progress at all +; but keep at
Il. Never forget "that's how"
The Ouachita telegraph., 1871-09-09
TO Danish Fleas and Lice.

Pennyroyal, q common weed in pas
lures and meadows, is very offensive to
fieas, lice, flies, and mosquitoes. To
use it advantageously, take lard and
rub or grind it with Il muller on a
smooth, fat, stone, slate, or piece OF
marble, with the dried or green plant
leaves, stems, and blossoms, until we'll
mixed. Let it stand twcnty-four
hours, melt at a low heat, and strain.
With this, anoint the ears and neck of
the animal, OF the pcrchcs and nests OF
poultry which may be infested. \
small quantity may be rubbed under tho
wings of a hen with 4 brood Of young
chickens. a few drops of the oil Of
pennyroyal in sweet oil, rubbed on the
face, neck, and hands, will keep Off
mosquitoes, however thick they may
be. A good nights rest may be secured
in the worst infested woods or sw;,mps
where these insects or black flies do
most abound, by the use ofthis mix
ture. Keep it ont of the eyes, as its
presence there is not agreeable.

A writer in one of our exchanges
says: "When girls are taught at the
mothers knee, at the home fireside,
in school, and in society, that it is as
disgraceful for them to be loafers rs 1t is
for their brothers, we shall have girls
demanding and getting that thorough
ness of mental and technical training
which is needed in the successful pur-
suit of any employment,a and not before.
We shall have a standard then for
scholarship, and women will look upon
education as something better than
mental ruffies and furbelows, or as a
mere means of enabling them to support
themselves in genteel independence un-
til they can marry, and we shall hear
no more of lack Of employment for
women

DOING GOOD.

\ little girl 1 am indeed,
And little do know;
Much care and help yet shall need,
That I may visor grow,
If would ever hope to do
Things good and great and nsafnl too.
But even now ought to try
To do what good may:
God never meant that such rs
Should only live to play,
And talk and laugh and eat and drink.
And sleep and wake and never think.
may, If have but a mind,
Do good in many ways;
Plenty to do the young may find.
In these our busy days;
Sad would it be, tho young and small.
III were Of no nse mt all.
One gentle word that may speak,
Or one kind, loving deed,
May, though triae poor and weak,
Prove like tiny seed:
And who can tell what good may spring
From such a little thing?
Then let me try, each day and hour.
To act upon this plan
What little good Is in my power.
To do it while can.
If to be useful thus try,
may do better by-and-by.

4 Martins ROost In II Georgia city.

About five years ago Il growth OF fnui-
berry trees In front of a residence on
the corner Of Hunter and Prior streets,
in Atlanta, Ga, became the resort or
"roost" of few martins, who came
regularly there every evening during
the summer months. Year by year the
number that resort to these trees has
been on a rapid increase, and now they
are almost innumerable. Tho Era says:
During the day not Il martin can be
observed in the city limits; but, at
about six o'clock in the evening, they
can be seen coming from all directions
in swarms of hundreds. They collect
and hover high in the air over the roost
until the whole force seems to be COL
lected. They form a black cloud of an
imated, feathery nature that spreads
over acres of space, and the pipings
from their tiny throats, together with
their queer antics, make a scene that
nightly attracts a large crowd OF ladies
and gentlemen to the place. When the
time comes for roosting, the cloud grad
ually settles In a compact shape, and
then with a revolving motion, unwinds
itself, and pours n rapid stream into
the tree-tops, which in five minutes
time are literally loaded down and
black with their presence. They are
never interfered with, and with early
morn swarm away in every direction.
They doubtless como in from almost
every portion Of Georgia and the neigh
boring States.

ssGuess ! Know a Thing or Two"

"NIy dear boy" said a father to his
only son, "you are in bad company
The lads with whom you associate in
dulge in bad habits. They drink,
smoke, swear, play cards and visit
theatres. They are not safe compain-
ions for you. beg you to quit their
society,""
"You needn't be afraid of me, faith
err" replied the boy, laughing, II guess
know thing or two. know how
far to go, and when to stop"
The lad left his fathers house twirl-
ing his cane in his fingers, and laugh
ing at the ssold mans notions"
A few years later, and that lad, grown
to manhood, stood at the bar of a court
before u jury which had just brought in
a verdict of guilty against him for
some crime in which he had been con-
cerned. Before he was sentenced he
addressed the court, and said, among
other things:
"My downward course began in dis
obedience to my parents. I thought I
knew as much Of the world as my
father did, and I spurned his advice.
But as soon as turned my back on
my home, temptations came upon me
like drove Of hyenas, and hurried me
to ruin"
Mark that confession, ye boys who
are beginning to be wiser than your
parents! Mark it, and learn that diso-
bediencc is the first step In the road to
ruin. Don't take it.

A Trade We Ought to Have.

Under the above caption the QUA
CHITA TELEGRAPH, of the Goth, con-
tains very spirited article setting
forth the advantages of a railroad from
Trenton to Fulton, Ark. 1t refers to
the alarm expressed by us lest the trade
Of Southwest Arkansas should be df-
verted from Red river by the improve
ment of the Ouachita as high up as the
Little Missouri. To make still strong
er point on us, 1t depicts in glowing,
yet truthful colors, the grand results
which will be realized by the construc-
tion of a railroad from Trenton to Full
ton.
We concur in the views advanced by
our able cotemporary, and wish the
good people ofTrenton and the country
through which the contemplated road
will pass, every success in their noble
efforts to secure an outlet to the markets
Of the world.
We cannot agree that the Ouachita is
q much more certain and a safer stream
than Red river. Since the surrender
small boats have run to Shreveport
without interruption, which has not
been the case in the Ouachita. We adj
nit that it is better river than ours
fully ten months in the year. When
we add the accessibility by rail from
Trenton to the Mississippi, the argu-
ment is in favor of Trenton rather than
Shreveport.
It would be we'll for both roads to be
started as soon as possible; the progress
of one would stimulate the building of
the other. Set us an example, if you
please.
The great trunk road, a desideratum
to the whole country Is the extension
of the Texas and North Louisiana Rail-
{o 10
essential, as the shortest, the best and
indeed the only practical outlet to the
Mississippi river. 1t is on the line from
the east to the west, connecting the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. The length
of this gap is not over one hundred
miles, and when closed would place the
Southern Pacific Railroad in connection
with the railroad system of the United
States.
flour cotemporary of the TELEGRAPH
will use its columns in the interest of
the road running west to our city, we
promise to do the same. We know that
there is a prejudice against the road,
arising from it's sale, transfer, change
of name, and the endless litigation
which has arisen from all these transac-
tions.
A railroad to Nicksburg we deem as
vital to our future growth, for unless
we can attract travel and freight from
Dallas, Texas, when roads running
north, south and east are completed to
that place, we can never compete with
Galveston and Kansas City. There will
be outlets to the Northwest, via st. |
Louis, Cairo and Memphis, crossing Red
river above the raft, and two roads
leading to Galveston from the center of
Texas. Is it not apparent that our
only safety depends upon securing rail-
road connection via aVicksburg:- Oudtlo
Gazette.

UNDER THE STARS.

was on a cloudless summer night,
he moon threw down her radiant light,
The river ran, a silver thread,
Beside the curving road that led |
Around the hills-with laugh and song.
A merry crowd, we drove along.
Beside me sat-you know-a friend;
NV gaze toward the stars did tend;
'sHow bright ~ said. He answered, Yes
As bright as stars!" But dear you guess
That while for me the stars did shine
His eyes looked level into mine.
A star dropped, all its shining race
Looked AFTER it and blinked away
In careless wonder; "Quick, pray,
And wish before it falls" cried;
"I've wished" he quietly replied.
But what he wished he would not tell,
Although teased him; CAN tho spell
Were broken if this night he told;
But when again the scattered gold
Should sprinkle all the heavenly blue
He'd tell me, and 'twould all como true"
And all the night the stars looked down
Inquisitive, till mornings frown
OF angry red oloscured their light.
The day slow passed then came the night
And out they rushed in haste peli-mell,
To hear the wish he had to tell.
But all the night we danced, till they
Grew pale and weary with delay;
And then, the fragrant fields between,
We homeward rode, and all the scene
Was magical-our tones were low,
Our pace was somehow very slow.
''Your wish ~ said, and all the dew
Chung round us if listening too;
"My wish''-the stars bent down to hear
''NIy wish was-you might love me, dear.
The stars they must have flashed in glee,
For something blinded, dazzied me;
The silvery mists in their surprise
They must have rushed into my eyes,
For out of them rolled, crystal clear,
A something very like a tear;
And just as he had said 'twould do,
His wish had sure enough come true.
The morning stars once sang to men,
And why should they not sing again.
You won't believe it, but they did
To us; and when at last he bid
Goodbye, their solemn light said, 'Well,
We saw it all, but we won't tell.''
