A Remedy for Cotton Worm.

Prof. Riley, United States Entomolo-
gist, delivered, at the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton, an address on the cotton worm
and the means of destroying it. His
audience was shamefully small, the
speech being of such practical import
to the farmers of the South that thou
sands should have heard it. He con-
fined his remarks to the cotton belt of
the South, and stated that since the war
the ravages of the cotton worm have
been far greater than before. He said
that between 1865 and 1880 the cotton
worm had destroyed $4,000, 600 worth
of cotton in the South. In 1872 he dis
covered that paris green was a good
remedy, but it was not until 1873 that
he was enabled to investigate the sub
ject thoroughly. In that year, aided by
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and other
Southern Senators, he secured an ap-
preparation of $4,000 from Congress,
and since that time has devoted himself
to careful investigation throughout the
South. The cotton worm first appeared
in the form of a blush green egg on
the under side of the leaves of the plant.
The worm is Matched out in from two
to four days, and remains for the first
few days on the under side OF the plant,
making, tiny, yellowish blotches on the
leaves. This is the proper time for the
application of the poison. The worm
should be destroyed before it attains
full growth, when it crawls to the top
of the leaves. One grown female worm
could generate 10000, 900, 600 insects in
ashort time. Paris green was one rem
edy used, but the cheapest and safest
remedy for men and stock is London
purple. Half pound of London pur-
pie dissolved in forty gallons of water
and sprinkled on the bottom of leaves
during the infancy of the worms would
effectually destroy them, the cost OF this
remedy, including application, being
about six cents per acre. He expressed
regret at finding cotton field of four
or five acres on the Exposition grounds
containing cotton plants. from various
parts of the world entirely defoliated by
the cotton worm, and said that if he
could have known of the presence of
the worms earlier he could have de-
stroyed them in two hours. He exhibit
ted various machines for spraying pois-
on upon the worms. This theory was
supported by the experience of cotton
planters who spoke at the conclusion of
ihe address.

THE DAIRY.

The demand increases so fast for
first-class dairy goods that fear of an
over supply is groundless.
Potato starch is said to be the latest
adulterant of cheese, and, in point of
cleanliness, at least, has the advantage
over refined soap grease.
Two cows well sheltered in winter
will produce more milk and butter than
will three unsheltered, though no more
than half the feed required for the three
should be given the two.
1t is stated that $50 butter and
cheese factories have been built in Iowa
during 1881, making a total of 450 now
in that State. There will probably be
large addition made to this number
next spring.
In ireland the butter trade is reg
ulated by act of Parliament The farm
ers assemble in the morning and have
all their casks arranged in the market
place, when the authorized coopers
proceed to take out the head of each
cask, and the inspectors follow, without
knowing to whom the packages belong,
and mark the quality of each with prop
er distinguishing characters.
Don't stuff your COWS with all the
hay they can eat. Give them a chance
to chew the cud once in while, and
thus remasticate the hay as it ought to
be before going into the stomach. A
continual filling up with hay distends
the stomach unnaturally and causes in
dimnStinn Tho -
der and gives neither as much nor as
rich milk as she would if fed regularly
at stated times with only such quanti-
ty as she can properly digest. Farm
ers waste their hay and injure their cat
tie sometimes by injudicious generosity.
"A farmers wife writes: OF all the
products of the farm butter is the most
liable to be tainted by noxious odors
floating in the atmosphere. Our peo-
pie laid some veal in the cellar, from
which little blood flowed out. and was
neglected until it had commenced to
smell. The result was that q jar of
butter we were packing smelled and
tasted like spoiled beef. We know of
an instance where there was pondof
hlthy, stagnant water q few hundred
feet from the house, from which an of
fenslve effiuvium would be borne on the
breeze directly to the milk room when
the wind was in a certain direction, the
result of which was that the cream and
butter would taste like the disagreeable
odor coming from the pond. AS soon
as the pond was drained there was no
more damaged butter. 1t is remarka.
bic how easily butter is spoiled.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson was loudly
cheered by Southernoaudience. when
he said that his second son. who is now
at Harvard, was practical blacksmith
and carpenter. Let us see now
whether any of the Southerhers who
cheered him will have the nerve and
moral courage to do, in the education
of their sons, swhat he has done with
his. We hope that their cheers meant
more than mere empty impulses. at

the Maine Association should be to sweep

which surround our shipping. 1t is I'M
necessary to mention the large list Of
grievances that are to be removed. The
members of that Association know them
well. But they should impress the harm
fulness of these upon the attention Of
Congressman in session and during re-
cess, and keep them before the country
by every possible means. The work Of
the Maine Association, however, should
begin with the men who wish to be sent
to Congress- The Association should en-
deavOr to have men elected to that body
who understand shipping matters, who
will listen to the wants of shipping men
and who will work for shipping interests,
the duties of the Association do not end
with drawing up resolutions and submit
ting copy to Congress. 1t should so
work that it will be respected as an in
telligent, powerful, and live organization
whose resolutions will be supported. 1t
can be made so and thereby bring to our
shipping an assistance that will stop its
decline and make it strong again. The
Maine Ship-owners' and Ship-masters'
Association can most certainly become
influential for good, and we sincerely wish
it long life, power and influence, with the
hope that benefits for shipping will follow
from its efforts. New York Maratime

A Tale of Mermaids.

Gently advertised for her mother, whom
she left in this country sixteen years ago.
She represents that her name is Rosa
Brooks, alias Grandson, the last name
being given her from the family name of
her former owners. Sixteen years ago,
she says Just before the close of the late
War-her young mistress, then living in
Richmond, married Mr.. Grandson, of
Havana, Cuba. They moved to his home.
and she (Rosa), being only one year of age,
was taken with them, and thus snatched
from the very threshold of emancipation
that soon followed. She grew up in the
service OF her new master and his family,
and some time in June last became in
volved in difficulty with one of the chill
dren that came nigh losing her life 1t
seems that in the alteration with the child
she lost her temper and in an unlucky
moment slapped its jaws. She says her
act was considered such a high crime that
'the Queen" was informed of it. and Her
Royal Majesty decreed she should die.
She was seated in the kitchen the next
day, when the Queen, in all her pomp and
pride, entered, and Selling large cary
ing knife began sharpening it for the dread
execution. Making one desperate effort
for ner life she sprang through the door,
scaled the walls of the city and plunged
into the ocean. Her struggle with the
waves had scarcely well begun when the
royal troops in pursuit fired upon her and
she was wounded in seven places Worn
out with her fatiguing run and exhausted
with the loss of blood she continued to
battle for life, when, having swan some
nine miles (being seven hours in the wa
ter) and on the point of giving up the
ghost she was rescued by band of mer-
maids. These fairy creatures, she repre-
sents, bore her to their home in the rocky
caverns along the seashore and showed
her every attention., nursing her until she
had entirely recovered that they live like
ordinary human beings and are as gentle
and as kind as possible When she was
well they took her out into the ocean and
placed her upon vessel bound to Calves
ton, at which port she arrived safely and
thence made her way to Richmond in
search OF her mother, Sarah Brooks.
