Hos. WILLIAM 6. LIZ Due, Commissioner Of
Agriculture
SIR-In reply to the communication
OF the Both nit, from the Lake
Charles Echo, Lake Charles, La,
which you have referred to me, / wonld
state:
The subject Of scale insects injurious
to friiit, and means of preventing their
ravages, bias been the special work Of
the chronological Division Of this De
partnent for the past year, and de-
tailed report Of the Investigation is now
in preparation. The experiments with
remedies are as yet incomplete, and
will only state that so far have found
nothing more desirable, taking into
consideration its valne as an insecticide,
its effect upon the tree, and its cheap
ness, than a strong solution Of whale
oil soap lsay one-fourth pound to one
gallon of water) This I apply with a
fountain pump or a garden syringe !;
and as it is almost impossible to thor
oughly wet every insect by single APP
plication, several are usually necessary
Many other substances have been tested,
and the results of the experiments will
be published as soon as practicable. i
will add, however, that ] have seen ex-
ce)lent results in an orchard from the
use Of the following mixture One
pound of concentrated I've; one pint of
gasoline or benzine one-half pint of
oil and five gallons of water.
] am very anxious to obtain speei-
mems OF scale insects infesting grange
trees in Louisiana. Mr.. Bryan will
materially aid the work of this Division
IT be will be SO kind as to send MS spc-
cirnens of those found in his locality.
have forwarded him mailing box and
stamps for that purpose.
Very respectfully,

were as follows: Mr.. X. the owner
Of the dog, with a companion, had

preached with one Of them, his master
took few steps forward, and catch
ing his fcotin grapevine, fell for

broken and the gun discharged, the

A highly respected physician is au,
thority fortthe following story of al
most unbelievable depravity:
An old man in this city depended
Tor supportupon the work of his daugh-
ter-his only child. He was not worthy
of that support, for he was a slave to
that most hideous OF harsh masters
the whiskey bottle. He made no eff
forts to earn an honest living for him
self, although, able of limb and sound
of mind, but was an almost constant
dwellcr at wlliskey shops apd loafng
corners His daughter went out to sew,
and her father compelled her, every
day, to give him a quarter to bny
liquor. With that money he always
went out of evenings to blow his coin,
his health and his brains into whiskcy
jugs, leaving his child. tired and tear
full, in a frequently coIdand dark honse
BY her toll she secured sewing ma
chine, and did her sewing at home
She did everything in her power 10
draw her father ont from the folds Of
the monster that with a thousand arms
was dragging him down. The neigh
bors reasoned with him and scolded
him, but to no avail. He regularly
slept in a gutter or erawled home from
some saloon in the morning. to bear 40
his poor girl the sight of '.the old man
drunk again"
One dag when all the streets of.
Cleveland were covered with ice, the
daughter slipped and fellnear the Pub
lie Square. She was picked up badl
injured and carried to one of the hes
pitfalls. Her fall WAS too much for her
frail system, weakened and run down
by unceasing toll, poor food, cherries,
days, and nights of sorrow. For
several days she tossed in fever, ami
although kindly cared for, She finally
died. The father missed her daily
pittance for his rum, and pawned the
sewing machine tosbay anoresliquor.
The poor. dead girl washuried quietly,
