The planter is helpless in the face Of this
fatal worm. There are remedies which when
applied to the germ do great deal toward
reducing the quantity, yet nothing pract!ea-
BILE aud sovereign has been discovered. The
origin, habits and remedy for these enemies OF
the great staple were treated at length in
in this column several weeks ago. The d.
rect application Of Paris Green has been in
vogue in the southern states for the last five
years, and is still adhered to by a great
number, though abandoned and condemned
by others.
The wet, cool weather prevailing for the
past few W eks has been very favorable for
the worm, and planters stand in dread of
their crop being cut off by them. 1t is now
the middle of August, and four weeks re-
main before them. 1t is suggested, however,
that where the crop is too heavy -" too
thick to thrive"-that the worms often do
more good than harm. Doubtless they
do when they see proper to leave
the plant at the right point.
But ravenous worm will not stop
to consider any ones interest but his own,
and will only limit his destruction BY the ca
pscity of his hide.
"Don't get out of anybody's way" advised
Henry Ward Beecher. But, Mr.. Beecher,
when you recognize your landlord only half
a block away, and 1t is three days past rent
day, and there are two cross streets, an alley
and three four-story stairways with rear exits
winkiug at you from the near side of the
street-are we--is man, that is, to 60
straight ahead and collide with the landlord -?
Oh, nonsense! What kind of talk is that to
give debt-laden people, with money at 8
per cent, and your summer clothes not paid
for?-[ The Rural. It's the right kind. Ten
to one the landlord saw you first, for he was
looking for you and you not for him. If you
dodge him under the circumstances he is GER
tain to have all his suspicious confirmed that
you did not intend to pay. If you haven't

TO maintain the confidence of every
body. No one ever presented bill without

If it was for fifty dol |
ars and he only had so cents he would pull

The Cranberry

Is sno her article that "wont grow in
Texas" If some one is brave enough to try
it, here follows plan to do it, submitted by
the American Garden: at is most profita-
bly, cultivated on low, moist, level lands,
where drainage as well as Overlooking can be
applied, as circumstances may req lire. Yet
like many other plants, it may be grown
successfully under conditions very different
from those in which it is found in its wild
state. ANY loamy, naturally moist garden
soil will grow cranberries. The plants are
set out and caltivatet exactly like strawber-
ries, until the vines have covered the entire
ground, when no other care is necessary than
to pull out the tall weeds. An occasional
light dressing of fine swamp muck or saw
dust is very beneficial and keeps the ground
moist. A small beginning in cranberry cul-
ture may even be made in flower pot. Plants
grown in this way are not only highly orna-
mental, the fruit hanging on the vines until
the blossoms appear for the next crop, but
also astonishingly productive"

Mr.. +. @. Williams, of Dallas county, tells
us that he has experimental great deal in
I he cultivation of apples. He has demon
strated that ground in which cotton will die
or sweet potatoes rot will not grow apples,
neither will peaches do well. His advice to
horticulrists is to first test the designed
orchard land with the sweet potatoe aad cot
ton. He also holds that tho cultivation of
the orchard regularly, and every year is as
essential as the cultivation Of Germ or any
other field crop. Nothing will grow so vs. I
without rs with labor. Elbow grease i l

Cold Law.

Yesterday afternoon yol pg man
named John Wilson brought suit in
Justice Cary's Court for wages
which he claimed were due him by
bis employer Richard Smsllman,
The amount sued for was s35. and
as the young man was well liked
the court room was crow ded with
friends who were more than anx.

they believed that Smallman had
tried to swindle him. The case was
progressing quite favorably tor the
plaintiff, when the defendants attor-
ney, in cross examination, asked:
"How old are you ?''
"Will be twenty-one in April
next" answered the plaintiff.
The defense moved for a non.suit
on the grounds that the plaintiff
was minor.
els it possible, err, that you are
not jet OF age ?" asked the Court,
surveying the young man through
MS spectacle5.
"Gness / ain't," was the reply.
"The case is dismissed, a minor
can't sue or be sued"
All hands rose and crowded to-
ward the door, the plaiatiff among
the rest.
"Ho'd on" shouted the Court.
"You have twenty.six dollars costs
to pay in this case"
"Guess you'll have to wait till
April, Judge. and then bring suit"

Denver south in ante-railroad days.

safe one,and he was not treasured by

Among the passengers was a par
ticularly (it seemed to him) fierce
looking man, girded with belt full
of reviewers and cartridges, and
clearly road agent or assassin. Some

smoke.

friend came to tender bis money, the
proprietor said, "your bills paid"

asked if he had not made mistake,
