Insects Injurious to Farm and Garden
Crops.

Cabbage flea The first insect of inn
portance that appears is the small
black flea or jumping beetM that at
tacks the cabbage, radish, turnip, etc.
Busting with Paris green mixed with
one hundred times its weight of Plaster
has proved an effectual remedy. This
must be done when the plants are wet
and after every rain.
Cutworm The, cutowrm Of which
there are several species, including the
aamy worm works only during the night,
and may be destroyed by the same reme-
DIV as the above. We would advise q trial
of pyrethrum powder mixed with five
times its bulk of plaster as being more
safe, although we have no positive proof
that it will be effectual.
Striped squash bug.-The striped
squash bug, which has been so abund-
ant for the past two seasons, Is best
in check by the use of plaster and Paris
green. For the family garden the
safest and most satisfactory way to over
come them is to make a bottomless box
twelve inches square and six or eight
inches deep, and cover it with mosquito
netting. One of these boxes placed
over each hill until the plants have be-
come tough and hard is sure protec
ton.
The potato beetle The potato beetle
has evidently become permanent resi-
dent among us. Paris green extended
with plaster, flour or water, is the only
cheap and easily applied remedy known
at present, but great care must be ex-
ercised in its use, and especially in the
place where the package is kept, that
it may not get upon the food of animals.
Cabbage worm The cabbage worm,
the larva Of the common white butterfly,
NAV be easily destroyed in several ways.
That of hand picking, if begun before
the first brood has passed into its per-
feet state, is effectual We have also
found that pvrethrum powder mixed
with five times its bulk of plaster and
busted into the centre of the leaves with
sulphur bellows, is certain destruction
to every one of them. The applica-
ton of insecticides in liquids to the
cabbage has n been satisfactory on ac-
count of the peculiar structure of the
leaf surface. which allows the water to
roll off in drops and not adhere to any
part of it. Paris green is unsafe to use
after the leaves have become over four
inches in diameter.
Currant worm.-The currant worm
should be destroyed, while small, with
the dust of heilebore or pyrethrum.
The latter, being perfectly harmless, IS
to be more highly recommended.
The rose bug. The rose bug has thus
far been the most difficult to overcome
of the whole tribe of injurious insects,
and we can recommend no remedy with
a great degree of confidence. but would

The Fitz John Porter Case.

r the reading of the Journal in the SEN
ate, on Wednesday, the 18th, which contained
an allusion to the Fitz John Porter bill, the
chair stated that no further action on that bill
was necessary than to have the action of the
house announced to the senate. Debate en-
sued as to whether the provision relating to
back pay secured the object in view, which
was ended by the chair laying before the senate
a message of the house of representatives an
nouncing the concurrence of that body In the
report of the conference committee, which re-
commended that the house recede from its dis
agreement to the amendment of the senate and
agree TO the same This action takes the Por-
ter bill back to the house Of representatives, as
finally passed. so far as the action of congress
is concerned, and there is doubt whether it will

about three inches in length. The po-
tatoes are handled carefully, so as not
to break the growth. and cut up in
suitable sizes, as in the ordinary
way. One strong shoot is left to each
piece. The sets must be put into the
ground carefully, of course, or the
shoots will be broken off. As growth
commences at once, the green tops show
in few days There is easily saving
of two weeks at the start. Those who
have rather low ground which cannot
be worked very early in spring, as have,

to compete with their neighbors ON

THE OLDEST MASON.
The Recent Claim to shat Honor" Set at
Rest.
From the BOSTON Herald


"The Oldest" Twenty of them are
older About once month we read Of
"the oldest Mason" here or there or
somewhere else. A few days ago the
Herald got letter asserting that the
oldest Mason in the United States was
Jonathan Woodbury., aged 81 years, a
native of Annapolis, n. S., where he
was made Mason in 1918, in Annapo-
lis Royal Lodge, thus showing he
had been Mason for sixty
six years. His father, William
Fairfield Woodbury., would have scored
II years if he had lived four days long
er. Now, this is absurd. Every man,
woman and child, who knows an old
man who is a Mason assumes at once
that he is the oldest of all Masons.
The best evidence in the world, we
have reason to believe. is the list which
Mr. Stephen Berry, of Portland, Maine,
keeps. He omits no care or expendi-
ture of time or NOM in making it per-
feet, and it may be worth while, for the
benefit of exuberant people. to repro
duce here his list of the oldest living
Masons, every name having been veri-
fed, and the whole list corrected up to
this month:
