THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Lime for Noxious Insects.

Although lime cannot be classed among
the universal and never-failing destroyers OF
animal life, 1t is nevertheless one of the most
efficacious and easily applied materials for
expelling large variety of noxious insects.
There are few species of these pests which
will not be dispersed by one application Of
lime in their larval stages. In addition to
its destructive properties to insect life, lime.
as is well known, acts also with beneficial
results upon the soil. In view, therefore, OF
its value as a destroyer of insects, every
farmer and gardener should keep barrel OF
more of it on hand ready for use whenever
required.
Among the first insects which appear in
spring to which lime is certain death, is the
well-known asparagus beetle. The larva of
this pretty little beetle is small, blackish,
and rather Shiny grub, which feeds upon the
leaves and bark of the asparagus, and, when
abundant, soon kills the most healthy and
vigorous plantation, unless some destroyer is
applied. But few dustings of lime over
the plants and grubs will thoroughly annihi-
late this pest, as we know from experience.
A second brood may appear, the product of
the few grubs which have escaped, on those
coming from neighboring towns, but the
lime dustings will prevent any considerable
injury to the plants.

PERSEVERE

ments Of plants in their essen

distiIIatiOn.

Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force stands
next to Consumption and is closely allied to it, for in
certain constitutions the transition from one to the
other is only question of time. 1t is therefore
singular thing that those afflicted with it should not
make it the object of their lives to rid themselves of
it. A single bottle of any remedy cannot, in the
chronic STAGE effect even bring the system
under its influence fully. In many such cases the
bones and cartilage of the are eaten away the
organs of hearing of SEEING and of tasting so affected
as to be rendered useless the uvua elongated and
inf1amed as to produce a constant and distressing
cough. The return to health must necessarily be
slow, under the most favorable circumstances, when
seriously afflicted but the evidence OF its great
value daily comes to hand, we become more and
more satisfied that there does not exist of Ca
tarrh that cannot be cured by judcious and per-
sistent use of SANFoRDs RADICAL CURE FOR Ca
TARRH. The relief in every case obtained from the
first dose is indication of what it will when the

sLUGs ON FRUIT TREES.

There are several species of saw flies, the
larvae of which are generally termed slugs,
and they frequently appear in immense num-
bers on the pear, cherry, and other species of
fruit trees, eating out all the softer portion of
from performing their natural functions, and
causing death to the tree ITSELF These slugs
are covered with Shiny skin, to which any
fine dry dust will adhere very tenaciously !;
but caustic lime will not only stick but burn
through the skin and kill the slugs in very
few moments. Not one of these different
species of slugs can Withstand busting of
lime, and few minutes work and five cents
worth of lime will clear the largest fruit tree
to be found in the orchard of this widely
distributed and very common pest.

Texas and Pacific Railway Matters,

The through distance is 19315 miles Col. Crawford forwarded his report yester- day to the headquarters of the Cumpa- nv at Philadelphia. Accompanying the report he sent a map of the line showing all the changes which have been made from previous surveys, together with a reduced profile. of the divide between the Colorado river and the Pacific ocean. The profile was arranged in subdivisions of ten miles with the estimated quantities of excavation and emBankment calcula ted ready for letting. All advices re ceived from the company denote that they are agreeably surprised at the re suits attained by the recent survey and that the Board of directors only await the detailed report of the en gineer in charge of the California Di vision before taking decisive action San Diego Union, December 2.

A Christmas Song.

The oak is strong and stalwart tree, And il lifis its branches up, And catches the dew right gallantly In many dainty cup. And the world is brighter, and better made, Because Of the woodman's stroke, Descending in sun, or falling in shade, On the sturdy form of the oak. But stronger, l ween, in apparel of green, And trappings to fair to see: With its precious freight, for small and
 great,
 Is the beautiful Christmas-tree. The elm is kind and goodly tree, With its branches bending low; The heart is glad when its form we see, And we list to the rIver's flow. Ay! the heart is glad, and the pulses
 bound,
 And joy illumes the face, Whenever a goodly elm is found, Because Of it's beauty and grace. But kinder. ween, more goodly in mien, With branches more dropping and free, The tints of whose leaves, fidelity weaves, Is the beautiful Christmas-tree. The maple is supple, and 1.-the, and strong, And claimeth our love anew, When days are listless, and quiet, and
 long,
 And the world is fair to view, And later-as beauties and graces unfold A monarch right regally drest, With streamers aflame, and pennons of
 gold,
 IL seemeth of all the best. More lissome, ween, the brightness and
 sheen,
 And the coloring, sunny and free, And the banners soft, that are held aloft. By the beautiful Christmas-tree.

 the camp at San Carlos Indian Agency
 was broken up at the request of Mir J ! P. Cum. United States Indian Agent
 and Co. L, Sixth Cavalry, was orderec
 10 take post at Camp Bowie.
 In June last the Chiricahua Indian, having been removed to the San Car
 los reservation, and having selected
 theIr home near old Camp Goodwin
 which is on the east side of the reser
 vation, where the Gia river enters tho
 mountains, I deemed it necessary tc
 have a force in the vicinity. l selected l a site on the Gila few miles above old Camp Goodwin for a military camp, with a view 10 the establish. ment of a new post as soon as the nec- essary funds could be obtained Co. r, Sixth Cavalry from Fort Whipple, and Co. D, Eighth Infantry, from Camp Lowell, were ordered and are now there in camp. At the same time Co. K, Sixth Cavalry, from Camp Me DOwell, Was ordered to replace Co. F. of the same regiment at Fort Whipplc, and Co. I, Sixth Cavalry, was ordered from Camp Verde to replace Co. K at Camp Mcdowell.
 The troops have been occupied dur ing the past year mainly in improving the posts where they are stationed, and the expenditures have been confined to what was absolutely necessary to make the troops comfortable. Esti- mates and the recommendation for the building of q new post on the east side of the San Carlos reservation, near old Camp Goodwin, have been forwarded. This has become necessary on account Of the concentration of Indians on that Such a FOst would com mand the most accessible route 10 the and be of great service to restrain the Indians from leaving it. l have caused d camp to be organized composed of the troops already men toned, which it is my intention to ln- crease as troops can be spared from other posts and the necessary accom- mediation can be provided I respect fully urge and recommend the appro-. priation of money for a four company post
 Could l have foreseen the concen-| tration of Indians on the San Carlos reservation so soon, l should have rec the expenditures author Ized for Camp Grant, to be transferred to the new camp on the Gila, particu- lariy as the eXperIence of the past Summer has shown that the water supp ply may be exhausted at that post dur ing the dry seasons. Water had to be l hauled in wagons for several miles be fore the rain set in, which has not oc- cured before.
 Camp Apache is being improved | and having been wisely selected, will be of use as long as there is any ap- prehension of Indian trouble. It is| isolated and difficult of access bat is aS cheaply supplied as any other post in the Territory, from the east.
 Now that the Chiricahua reservation is no longer occupied, Camp Bowie could be dispensed with as soon as the left behind, and the raiders from Sonora are taken care of. The only objection to its discontnuancc, will be the necessity of constructing quarters elsewhere, for there is noI room for the two companies of caval- ry now there, at any post in the de partment, except for one company at Camp Lowell
