When, as is generally the case, the cot
ton stalks are left standing until plan
ting season and then ploughed under,
the latter process only gives the eggs,
hidden in the roots, the requisite
warmth to hatch them out by the time
the young plants are in good condi-
tion to feed on. Every cotton stalk,
and every bunch of grass should be
harmed, pulled up and burned, and in
few seasons this plague OF the south
would be utterly exterminatrd. This is
the "ounce of preventive that is Of in
calculable value to the cotton planter.
The pound of cure" Is
KEROSENE BUTTER,
which is made by churning common
kerosene and any sort of milk, clabber,
buttermilk. blue john, or condensed
milk, together in proportions OF one gal
Ion of kerosene to five pints OF milk. An
ordinary churn has not force eneugh to
amalgamste the two ingredients and the
"aquapult pump" Is the best used IN
churn, suppose. a violent rotary mo-
ton is required" said the Professor. 30
l think sort Of mammoth egg beater,
/ amagnified copy OF what housekeepers
use in making syllabub, would be JUST

! sort of puffy butter, white and glossy,
which will keep any length OF time II
excluded from the ar. Even without
this precaution it keeps many days,
/ though apt to curdle when it has to be
beaten up or worked over. This butter
is mixed with cold water by stirring the
latter in gradually, at the rate of two
gallons of water to one pint of butter,
and applied from the root upwards
strong fine spray. This solution is per-
fectly h rmless to the tenderest vegeta-
ton and yet 1t is fatal to insect life,
even III case of the scaly insects so in
furious to orange trees, and SO well pro-
tected by their scales.
The cheapest cotton worm extermin-
ator, Prof Riley said, is the refuse from
analine dyes, "a 1t costs about five cents
per acre.
Now, l really hope l have been of
some use to somebody. for l hate details
of this sort l am so afraid OF making
mistakes, or not making myself under
stood, and yet l am so in love with
Texas that must write what l think
Will benefit her greatest source Of true
neutrality-suspicious. BY and bye
the industries will spring up and flour
ish, but agriculture must prepare the
way.
The papers say Senator Mcpherson
has bought big sheep rancho or cattle
rancho in Texas, and is going to Europe
to buy fine stock TO put ON it. The sen
ator has coolies" Of money, and Is III

to have in state like ours.
Gail Hamilton is the most audaciOus
as well as the brightest OF women writ
ers in newspaperdom. She is nearly
relat d to Blaine and shares his unlim-
tied command of scathing lnvective.
She is a small, slight, why woman with
wonderfully bright eyes of the sort that
glow, and darken and scintillate in such
rapid fashion that you cannot analyZe
them nor tell their color. l was incred-
ulous when this little woman was pointed
out to me as Gail Hamilton. She deals
such truculent blows, ana yields such
veritable battle-axe of sarcasm that l
had pictured her to my own mind almost
Il giantess. But L ought to have known
better. None but wee sma' bodie'
would venture to indulge in such I'M
bounded independence of thought and
speech, such unreasonable recklessuess
of keen and pungent satire, such fierce
Impotence of all letters that bind soul
and body, such sublime contempt for
criticism. These remarks are called up
10y the reading of her Arrangement of
science, religion and law, IN a recent
letter about Garfield, whom she calls in
the grandilOqUent manner so dear to the
Yankee heart, the august sufferer"
August Tender, gentle, lovable, bril-
liant, intellectual, learned; n man OF
great virtues and little, little weakness;
not even death could make James AbTam
Garfield either illustr GUS or august.
But apart from the fulsOme hattery of
the. dead president" "a very absurd eX-
precision because he isn't president after
he is dead-Gail Hamilton's letter Is a
perfec marvel of intrepid attack, in the
heat of which, like her eloquent kins-
man, she sometimes sacrifices truth to
argument.
