To Kill Cabbage Worms.-A correspondent
of the Rural World recommends the following
remedy to kill the cabbage worm, and as It'll very
simple and harmless, We think it is worth the
trial "I have read so many recipes in different
papers to kill the cabbage worm, that think one
more will be read, too. For four years had not
raised any cabbage on account of the worms eat
ing it up, so concluded to give up cabbage rails
ing; but seeing some very fine cabbage on a farm
about six miles away, ventured to ask what they
had done to keep the worms away, and was told
bran, simply bran. tried it last year and raised
nice cabbage, some of which l have in my cellar
now When the worms first appeared, L took
bucketful of bran and sprinkled handful on
every head when the dew was on in the morning
I oniy sprinkled them once Two of my neigh
bors did the same and they got rid of their worms
and raisad fine cnbbages."

The Cooper Case Again.-Mr. VIM. G.
Weld, one of the counsel for Howard Cooper, now
confined in Jail here under sentence of death, said
a few days ago that upon further examination
into the matter he has discovered that he has
sixty days in which to sue out writ of error to
the United States Supreme Court, and stay the
execution. 1t had been his impression previous
ly that he had but ten days. He says efforts
being made by Cooper's friends to raise money
for the costs of appeal, but we doubt if there
is really any foundation for this latter statement.
Later.-It has since been learned that a move
men really is foot to raise the necessary funds
to carry the case to the Supreme Court. Judge
Alvey, of the Court of Appeals, has fixed the bond
at $3.50, and Messrs. Weld and White counsel for
Cooper, say that as soon as this sum is provided
they will certainly take the necessary steps for an
appeal. The usual papers have been prepared
and all that is necessary now is for the money to
be forthcoming.
We think the patience of the people of Balti-
more county is being severely tried in this mat
ter. There may be great deal of Claw" in all
this nonsense, but we fail to see where the justice
comes in.

incubation. a Preventive of pleuro-

incubation, Preventive OF Pleuro-
Pneumonia.-Mr. Frank Sanderson, of "Plains
Farm" Sd district, Baltimore county, contributes
the following article to the Maryland Farmer for
July, and proves conclusively that incubation is
q preventive of pleuro-pneumonia. He says:
Having had this dreaded disease brought
upon my place by the purchase of some animals,
milk cows,) from city dealers, and having gotten
rid of the same by having every animal on the
place inoculated by DR.. Ward, the very efficient
and gentlemanly veterinary surgeon of the State,
and by the way, one thoroughly educated and
qualified by long experience both in England and
Canada, in his profession, thought could not
do better thing than to advise all my readers
who may have milk or show cattle, especially if
near the cities towns, or along the line of rail-
roads, to have all such cattle inocuated directly
an out break appears in the vicinity.
"Ivery foolishly tried my own resources and
my neighbors, and after the loss of some cows,
called in the Dr.-had them inoculated-and have
not lost q cow SINCE
"The incubation consists in taking the virus
from the lung of diseased COW in its right STAGE
and which may be known by the lung having the
yellowish appearance, and looking very much
like a section of honey comb. This virus is taken
in sufficient quantity, free of blood, and small cot
ton strings dipped into it and the string after
being thoroughly saturated is drawn through the
feshy portion of the cows tail, by means of
large size sail needle. In a few days the place
will be hot and feverish, gradually extending up
the tail, effecting the appetite and the milk of the
animal. Sometimes large Jumps will appear at
the base of the tail, and maybe the tail will drop
off, but not often. bad % head inoculated, cows
and calves, and the tails of three dropped off, The
surgeons say that if the animal has it in her sys-
tenn in aggravated form it will hasten her death.
|, after an experience with my cows, and several
other herds, said that if the virus is fresh and pure
it will draw the disease away entirely, if the
animal is far gone with it. I would say that it
is best to keep the inocuated catten for the space
OF Il days, as they may and are very liable to
take cold during their convalescence.
"In conclusion 1 would say that the State
should pass stringent laws to have this disease
thoroughly eradicated, and have them carried out,
and the owners should be allowed fair price for
their cattle, say $50 or $40 each. Then it would
be reported and the disease would be suppressed
at once. At this time we have stringent laws,
but they not enforced. Cattle get the disease,
they are hurried at once to some slaughter house,
sold for mere song, but the disease is spread the
entire distance traversed, the dishonest are pro-
tected, and the right minded and upright man is
made to suffer-"

Roiled Waler for DRINKING Purpl

Boiled Water Tor Drinking PURPOSES
Prof. Spencer Il. Baird, secretary of the Smith
sonian Institute at Washington says that diseases
water, can be avoided by using boiled water for
drinking purposes. In cholera seasons this course
is especially recommended, as water is largely
the medium of introduction of the injurious in
auenees into the system. piarrh@a can also be
avoided or prevented by the use of boiling water.
He says l have usually enough water boiled in
the morning to last through the day. This is
placed in large water cooler, without ice, and
drawn from when required to fill ice pitchers, sc.
The water should boil actually for half an hour,
in order to kill the germs of disease OF course
this is only effective in of organic impurity
ms mineral poisons would not be destroyed thereby

Rev. Mr.. Rathburn and the Presbytery

AT called meeting of the Presbytery of Balti-
more, held on Tuesday, the most important bust
ness considered was the request of Rev. d. L.
Rathburn to be released from his pastoral charge
of Chestnut Grove and Franklinvile churches,
in order that he might accept call to the church
at Jamestown, Montgomery county, Md. The
committees from the churches of which Mr.. Rath-
burn has been for some years the highly-esteemed
pastor, expressed deep regret at the severance of
his relations. Mr.. Joshua Green, of Chestnut
Grove church, read resolution, adopted by the
congregation, deeply regretting the severance of
the pastoral relation between their pastor and
the church, but in Difference to the wishes of Mr..
Rathburn they would not oppose such action and
refer the matter to the Presbytery. Remarks
eulogistic of the services rendered by him a
preacher and member of the Presbytery were
made by several ministers and then the request
was granted, and the pastoral relation was dis
solved. Rev. j. M. Maxwell was appointed to
declare the pulpit of Chestnut Grove Church
vacant next Sunday. Rev. Mr.. Finney was APP
pointed to declare the pulpit of FranhhE=iiie
Church vacant. Rev. Mr.. Perry was appointed
moderator of the session of Chestnut Grove Church,
and the session, in connection with the modera-
tor, was empowered to supply the pulpit of the
church until the fall meeting of the Presbytery.
Rev. Mr.. Finney was made moderator of the
session of Franklinville Church. Rev. Mr.. Rath-
burn was dismissed to the Washington Presby-
terry, and resolutions adopted expressing the
high esteemed of the Presbytery of Baltimore for
him, and commencing him to the Presbytery to
which he was dismissed.

A L ABOUT WAGES!

In discussing the subject, "What
Shuts us Out"-ot foreign markets, h
Memphis Appeal we'll says:-
What the country loses from want of ability
10 sell all we can produce, and from haVihs
a mere moiety of the manufactures we are
capable of operating, is immense. That loss
is a art of what we pay in support OF the
high tariff system. 1t is said that high tarih
keeps up high wages, but Is the msnufacto-
ries we have cannot be fully employe ed land as
other manufactures we are capable of opera
ting cannot be built because other nations can
undersell US on account OF our high tarln, a
vast number of men who want employment
are deprived of the work they otherwise
might have. There are therefore large mum :
bers of men deprived of work by the high
tarid. Deduct what these men lose BY the
high tariff from what some others,is 1t claim
ed. gain extra by that tariff, and where, on
the average, are the high wages? To get good
nav when working. but to be deprived OF
steady work, does not give an average of high
wages.
As a matter of fact the comparative
statements of wages in this country and
England which are printed by protec-
ZIONIST organs are cooked up for the
occasion by manufacturers who are in
terested in maintaining war taxes in
their own interests; but, %conceding all
they claim, how much is an operative
benefited by the higher wages II ne
is a large part of the time idle?
AS the New York Herald pointed out
the other day:-"Many hundreds oI
thousands OF w%orkingmen know to
their sorrow how, by being unable te
have steady work, high wages Otter
give them wretchedly poor pay
There is where the rub comes. Pro-
hibitory protection. such as we now
have, drives away our foreign custo
mers for beef and grain, incenses them
into taking retaliatory measures IL
some instances, and generally has thu
effect to limit the market for our maj
u~factures to our own country.
OF course If the manufacturers Cal
make about as much money on hal
work, with half the capital employed
by reason of a subsidy from their HON
consumers, they are a little lazy AM
penurious, and they will continue t
take the tribute, but it is rough OH tn
working man who wanders arounl
half of the time with his hands il
his pockets, wondering what i
the matter, and being soothed by tn
oily tongue of his employer, who sing
to him, go, its all right, my boy, W
are protecting YOU" Yes; as tn
wolf protects the lamb when he get
} into the fold on a dark night.
