Prof. Maynard of the Massachusetts
experiment station gives in the last
bulletin of that institution brief state
ment OF the remedies thus far found
most successful for killing insects.
Cabbage Flea The first insect of
importance that appears is the small
black flea orjumping beetle that at
tacks the cabbage, radish, turnip etc.
Dusting with paris green mixe1 with
one hundred times its weight of plast-
er has proven an effectual remedy.
This must be done when the plants
are wet and after every rain.
Cut Worm. The cut worm, of
which there several species, including
the army worm, work only during the
night and may be destroyed by the
advise "A trial of pyretbum powder
mixed with five times its bulk OF plaSt
er as being more safe, although we
have no positive proof that it will be
effectual
Striped Squash Bug.-The striped
squash bug is best kept in check by
the use of plaster aud paris green.
For the family garden tile safest and
most satisfactory way to overcome
them is to make a hottomless box
~ inches square and or s inches deep
and cover with mosquito netting. One
of these boxes placed over a hill till
the plants have become tough and
hard. is n sure protection.
Cabbage Worm The cabbage
worm. the larvp of the common white
butterfly, may be easily DESTROYED in
-v-~~.-sl s.--T THAT ..f ,.l-,.:al.;..,-
If begun before the first brood have
passed its perfect state is efTectual
Pyrethrum powder mixed with five
times its bulk of plaster and busted
into the center of the leaves with a sui
pher bellows il certain destruction to
every one of them. The application
of insect 'ides in liquids to the cab.
bage has not been satisfactory on ac-
count of the peculiar structure of the
leaf surface, which allows the water 10
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.
The currant worm should be des-
troyed while small, with the dust of
hellebore or pyrethrum. The latter
being perfectly harmless is TO be more
highly recommended.
There are two easy ways 70 get rid of
ants The first is to And their hills or
nests and by use of crowbar make a
hole in it and turn i'm an ounce of bi
sulphide of carbon and quickly fill
and pack the earth i'm the hole. The
vapors Of this liquid will quickly kill
all the ants.
Another way is to poison with paris
green mixed in syrup This must be
placed in box behind a fine wire
gnuze so that bees cannot get at it
Turning Kerosene on the ant hills or
scattering pyrethrum on them would
also kill the ants.

The election in this city passed of

storm "A full vote was polled. There
was plenty of earnest work and the
result here is very satisfactory, as
every name on the republican ticket
had majority, with the exception of
County Surveyor. Mr. Newman is
acknowledged capable, is personally
popular, and his residence here gave
him an advantage over Mr. Barker,

aN0W WE SMILEk
We have held the AVALANCHE
one day that we might be able to give
our readers definite election returns.
Reports have been very conflicting,
both parties claiming victory in the
doubtful states. The latest dispatcb-
es concede Connecticut, New jersey
and Indiana to the democrats, but
New York gives Blaine 1000 plu-
rality, thus securing a republican
president.
Alger is elected by about 1000
majority.
Horr is probably defeated in the
9Th district and Gibson i'll the 10th,
but Allen, O'Donnell and Burroughs
are elected, making gain of one con-
gresham.
The fusionists have gained in both
branches of the State Legislature,
but whether enough to give them a
majority cannot yet be determined.
BUT! Crawford County, as far
as heard from, seven of the eight
-..-'.,.'.- ,'...,'.lI:--.n Tha-l...----
cratic candidates, with one exception,
were showed under.
There have also been gains in
Congressman in most all of the
Northern States, and in some of
the Southern. Wisconsin elects all
republicans except ona. Iowa all
but one. Chicago gave a majority
for Blaine and Logan. Ohio in
creased her majority, and the major
tiles in the Southern states are less
than ever.

something else, and l kept jumping.

fireman broke in one Of the front win
dows, and a whole company followed
him through, and they dragged hose
around, and mussed things all over the
house, and then the foreman wanted
to thrash me because the house was
not on fire, and l had hardly got him
pacified before a policeman came in
and arrested me. Some one had run
down and told him | was drunk and

and could do, by combining our elo-
quence to prevent him from marching
me off in disgrace, but we finally got
