DIR. LEDoUX's REPoRT-We have re-

DIR. LEDOUX's REPORT We have re-
ceived from DIR. A. r. Ledoux his annual Re-
port for 1879. 1t is large size pamphlet of
200 pages, with numerous tables and must
have cost round sum- as 1000 copies were
issued. However, to our hasty glance it
appears well gotten up, and to treat OF mat
ters concerning which there is universal need
OF information. For the present we may
only take an extract from Director Ledoux' 5
statement of the benefits of the experimental
station. He says
I'm 1876, before the law providing for
fertilizer control was passed, there were los
brands of fertilizer sold in North Carolina
Some of them were miserable stuff, others
downright swindles One especially, with a
large sale, was found to contain 60 per cent
OF sand, and others SO poor that they were
condemned III Georgia, were re-shlpped and
sold In North Carolina. At present there
are but 42 brands which are legally on sale
in North Carolina, and it gives me pleasure
to state that among them are the very best
brands found in the United States, aud no
State has now more complete protection
for its farmers, and no State better protects
dealers in fertilizers from having to compete
with fraudulent manufacturers than our own.
Three things are certain and admit of proof:
1st That fertilizers are cheaper in North
Carolina to-day than before the tax was inn
posed. I'd. That they are better on an av-
erage Sd. That they are as cheap in North
Carolina as in either Virginia, Georgia. or
South Carolina, due allowance being made
for increase OF decrease Of freight, owing to
distance
We suppose persons desiring copies can
get them of DR.. Ledoux

WORM AND INSECT REMEDIES The in

WORM AND INSECT REMEDIES The in
sect question is a very important one; they
will destroy US if we don't destroy them
The following remedies and modes of des-
truction have been used, which never failed
or hardly ever: Melon or cucumber bugs
are more fond of radish leaves than any 9TH
er kindSow faw radish seeds in each hill
and you will never lose plant. Earth
worms, cut worms, white grubs and, in fact,
all soft bodied worms, are easily driven back
or out by talt sown broadcast You can do
no harm with ten bushels to the acre, but a
half bushel is ample. Dry-slacked lime is
also etfectual. Potato bugs find their anti
in Paris green; one tablespoonful mixed
with ten of -four, in bucketful of water
and well stirred until the Paris green settles.
Apply with watering pot other and
probably equally effective modes Of applying
this remedy to the potatoes have previousl )
been given in these columns. For cabbage
worms, apply dry salt if the plants are wet,
or strong brine if they are dry. Turnip
flies are destroyed by fine Stacked lined
busted over the field But the whole tribe
of depredators are wonderfully kept down
by making friends with the birds They
are the natural enemies of all insects, wofms
grubs, ETC. In fighting vermin of all des-
criptions we must not try to oppose nature
but to rather follow her plans and assist her
if she tails.

STRANGE FIGHT BETWEEN SNAKEs.-As
Mr. j. A. McNeely, Of Mallard Greek Town
ship, this county, was going to a neighbor 5,
he noticed two black snakes struggling for
the mastery in fight. When he left them,
one had obtained hold upon the under jaw
of the other and appeared to have decided
advantage in the tussle In about an hour
or so. he returned and one had swallowed
the other entirely, with the exception of a
niece of the tail that was still visible in its
mouth. The snakes were about the same
size. slim, keen and long, and were what is
known as the racer variety.

MosBY's SwALLowTAIL.- Col Mosby,
the consnl at Hong Kong, China, has been
heard from at last with reference to the
statement SO widely published that he had
violated the proprietles of diplomatic life by
wearing long tailed coat instead of swal-
lowt tail to the government house to dinner
Mosby, in "a letter to his brother, says he was
invited by the governor general to dinner,
but declined, telling the governor that he
had not a dress-suit. The next day he or
dered one, and after that he was enabled to
appear az tot. He says that Consu-Gene-
raj Bradford tried to dictate what clothes he
should wear, hut he resentedit. Mosby said
he had just bought new slouch hat and
Bradford said it would not do-that the En-
gllsh and others would laugh at him Mos
by answered thatshe should dress the same
as he did in Washington that the English
might laugh at him, but they could not say
he had stolen anything, which was a good
hit at Bradford, to say the least. Mosby
devotes much space IN his letter recounting
dinner invitations, but his clef daucye is the
following letter from the goyernor-general
which he encloses. The letter ought to set
tie the matter
GOvERNMENT HOUSE, HONG KONG,

graph from an American newspaper about
