A Tough Horse Story.

A certain horse in sSayreviIle for
twenty years has been q cart horse in a
brickyard, and the habit of eoino
through certain round of duties dav
after day for eight months in the wear
mas enabled him to do things which
seem to indicate the possession Of
mensalfaculties similar to some-of those
possessed by the human race. 1t is an
Old saying among farmers that crows
cannot count more than three, but this
horse has the ability to count sixty-fiye.
his routine OF labor is to cart sixty-fye
loads OF clay from the pit to the .spot
where the clay is mixed or ground. and
then to 60 for load of coal dust: and
now, without anything being said or
done to indicate the fact to him. when
ne has deposited his sixty-fifth load he
turns away from the clay pit and goes
to the dock for q load Of the dust. This
Is not his only peculiarity, for, when he
goes to the pit he backs the cart up
nimself to the right place and will take
only what he conceives to be his proper
load. Ii more is put on he backs and
kicks and rattles the cart about until
the load is reduced to what he cons;d.
ers proper quantity. Having such in
teiiectual capacity, it is not SURPRISING
TO learn that he viii not be driven. AZ
soon as the lines are touched he be.
comes fractious and unmanageable, but
gentle explanation of what is required
OF him has the desired effect. It is un.
necessary to add that such an intelli-
gent horse will do no more work after
me whistle fordinner or supper sounds.
All ms companions in the yard have
Tlt enough for that, and if they are on
'nelr way to the pit for load when the
whistle blows they all turn about and
nake Tor the stable without any orders,

A Remedy for Cotton Worm.

Prof. Riley, United States Entomolo-
gist, delivered, at the Atlanta Exposi-
tlon, 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-
nned 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. $15. 600, 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 $1,000 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 epp on
the under side of the leaves of the plant.
The worm is hatched ont in from two
10 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 ton
OF the leaves. One grown female worm
could generate 10000, 0O0, 900 insects in
short 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 exhihi-
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
the address.

Rare Sport ON Main street I'LL, SAtuF.
day Night,
II has been many years since Main
street witnessed such a sight as the glare
Of the gas light from the business houses
shone upon Saturday night. The air was
filled with the shouts Of boys and men and
the whirriug sound OF sleds whizzing down
the icy step Of Main street hill, and rare
sport 1t was. In years gone by, before the
grade on this street was lowered, 1t was
the f~avorlte coastlng ground for boys, and
men with boyish hearts, And az the
young man who was a boy In those days
looked upon the scene CT animation Satur.
day evening, II seemed like an old picture
retouohed, or q forgotten story retold.
Early in the evening only q few small
boys were enjoying the sport, but as the
older boys looked on they couldn't with.
stand the fascination, and they trudged
home and returned with old and time.
worn sleds, some, perhaps, that
had been kings OF the track
in their day. Men, whose years
were not q few, and whose children were
big enough 10 manage a sled alone,stopped
and looked on; no one looked than
they wished to indulge, and no sooner
wished than they indulgedi In the pastime,
and were the loudest shouters and most
boyish Of the throng. 1t was 0 moving
sight 10 one whose heart was yet young
though his limbs were not sS active as Of
yofe. Sometimes a sled would swerve,
guided by one, perhaps, whose limbs had
forgotten their youthful office, and roll
the occupants In the gutter, every moment
receiving fresh victims 10 their misfortune
until the pile Of struggling and founder.
ing humanity would blaCken the street.
II was all fun, however, and some enjoyed
Upset az much as an uninterrupted
slide. About two hundred enjoyed the
frolic, and II ives after twelve O'Clock
when the last tired boy ambled slowly
home, casting a regretful look behind as
he left the scene.
