THE CANKER-WORM.
How It Was Exterminated on the Farm of
 the Ohio Experiment Station.

How It Was Exterminated on the Farm of
 the Ohio Experiment Station.
 On passing through several farming districts during the past season we saw repeated examples of the entire neg iect of orchards where the canker- worm had taken possession and con- pletely stripped the trees of their fol- iage. This stripping repeated frequent Y would destroy the trees, as they can not live after continued loss of leaves There was formerly some excuse for a want of success in destroying these in- sects, when all the proposed remedies were imperfect at best. But now that paris green has been proved so perfect remedy, the trees are easily and quickly cleared of them. Among the many reports of success, we copy the following from the last annual report of the Ohio Experiment Station: ''The spraying of the trees with kero- sene and soap was not effect i've. After waiting thirty hours we did not see much diminution of the worms The trees were literally alive with them, there being scarcely leaf free. then hastily sprayed them with paris green. To my great surprise and delight, in twenty hours there were but few worms to be seen, and in thirty-six hours not one was found. The neigh bors say it was the most magical thing they ever saw, who had feen the orchard previously denuded by the worms" The spraying was done with an ordi- nary double-acting spray pump, which had discharge hose twelve feet long, with a cyclone nozzle, and fastened to stout pole, so as to be elevated and al- low the spray to fall on every part of the trees. The liquid was put into a barrel and mounted on a wagon. One man drove and worked the pump; an- other handled the nozzle. The wagon was driven between rows of trees, one- half of each row being sprayed on each passage. The six hundred trees were completely cleared - Country Gentle. mGl2,

A Chinaman, on his way from Lew

A Chinaman, on his way from Lew iston to China, carrying the bones ot his brother carefully packed in valise, stopped at Portland, Ore, for day or two to visit friends. On his way to the steamer the valise was stolen, and the grief and indignation of the pious Chinaman were intense. He was about to offer a reward of one hundred dol lars for the recovery of the bones, but his wiser friend said that it was not worth while, for the thief would cer- tainly drop the valise as soon as its con- tents were known. This was good ad, vice, for the valise was found, greatly to its owners delight The thief had evidently Broken it open, pulled out the skull of the dead Celestial, and then dropped it and departed.-San Fra,o- cisco Chronicle.

The late Senator Pike had a seat with Senators Manderson and Palmer in a short row of desks in the rear of the regular tiers of seats, and the jolly Senator Palmer always referred to the locality as 'Pike's Peak" A tenderfoot correspondent one day wrote a sketch of him as Senator Pickerell," and the pun on his name. al though unintentional on the part of the man who made it, seemed to amuse him as much as it did the other Senators.

Sr LOUIS, NO., February 2T.-During q
conversation at the National Yards, large
handler of stock, who wishholds his name,
said: "Tuis dressed beet controversy has a

tions. But these people will find that they
have run counter to the interests OF too
many classes. They sutagonize the rail
roads, the butchers, the stock yards, the
cattle raisers and the beet consumers; they
seem to want the whole earth, as the
phrase goes. 1t is q matter of easy dem
cnstration that the triumvirate
monopoly hsS made cattle prices
AZ Chicago and Kansas City with.
out regard to the shippers interests.
For instance, the dressed beef buyers pool
at Kansas City, and il q live stock shipper
offers to trade portion Of consignment
on q good figure the salesman does not sell
the portion bid on, for if he does the pool
buyer will not take the balance at any
price. II the salesman, in his dilemma,
offers the entire drove to the pool, they bid

to forward the cattle to Chicago, he has
Jumped from the frying pan into the FIRE,
for the Kansas City bid has been forwarded
By wire and he will be slaughtered for his
pains and plucked BY the pool buyers in
Chicago" !
You can readily see that these dressed
beef people hold dangerous power. Buy
ing cattle as they do, at their own price,
they are enabled to put retail meat on the
market at prices which run the butcher out
Of business in the East, and for that mat
ter in the West as well; but remember,
when once competition is killed, they putF
The retail price up at their own pleasure,
and the consumer is wholly at their mercy.
By comparing the prices of beet for 1884
with the prices for 1885, and so far into
1886, it will be found that while cattle in q
wholesale way have gone off heavily IN
