TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Squash Vine Rorer.

Squash Vine Rorer.
This destructive insect was discovered
soon after the middle of July, when 1t
was found to be working serious injury
to the squash vines. Several remedial
agents were Immediately tried. These
were in ;ccted into the soil close to the
stem of the affected plants by means OF
an injection pump constructed on the
principle of hand corn planter. The
substances used were kerosene cmulsions
of different strength-Paris green solu-
ton, lime water and solution of mix
ture of Paris green and lime. The ker-
osene emulsions had little or no effect.
A solution of Paris green, one table
spoonful to ten quarts Of water, proved
partial remedy, as did lime water.
The best results were secured by mix
ture of one part of Paris green and
twenty parts of lime in watery solution.
This mixture when thoroughly injected
around an affected stem checked the
work of the borcr. 1t is believed that
this will prove very efficient remedy,
but further experiments are necessary
before its merits can be definitely known.

Preparing Land for Grass Seeding.
The land intended for sowing with
grass seed in the spring should be Flowed
at once by all means, as the most thor
ough pulverization of the soil is indis-
peHsable for seeding with grass without
a crop. The land should be plowed as
deep as may be iudicious, and after lying
month should be cross-plowcd and
thrown into back furrows and left thus
in ridges until the spring. when these
ridges are split and the land leveled. A
thorough working with clltivator or
the Acme haryow across the burrows will
then fit the SOL for the seed. The land
is then smoothed with brush harrow or
smoothing plank and the seed is sown
both ways to get an even stand and left
without any further work. The se!d
should lie sown directly after the smooth
ing harrow so that as the soil settles
down it is covere sufficiently. Orchard
gras, is the best of all kinds to mix with
Clover, as both come into fit stage for
cutting at the sumo time. When the
clover fails the orchard grass will occupy
the ground fully and remain for many
years. Twenty-Five pounds of orchard
grass to ten pounds of rel clover should
be sown in such case as ,this.-NeD

Cutting Corn with n Reaper.

An inquiry was suggested in lat:
number of the Country Gentleman for Il
a rcaping machine fitted for cutting
corn sown for fodder, to obviatc the
slow work of reaping by hand. Since
the appearance of that inquiry, we &C.
eepted an invitation from d. NJ. Dunn
ing of Auburn, to examine his corn
crop, cut and bound with self binder
and to witness its operation. Hc showed
us a ten-acre field which had been all
neatly cut and ndsomely boun with
cord, the only hand labor being that Of
placing the sheaves in sho;ks. The COIN
had been sown with wheat-dril, at the
ate of a bushel and half of seed to the
acre, all the tubes running, the Sui
Icing rich and clean, without weeds,
the surfa e remaining smooth and level.
The growth of the stalks, which was too
thick for eals to form, was about five
feet high. No cultivation had been
rivcn. When the growth was modcra'c,
the cutter bar, which was six feet long,
took about four feet in breadth, but on
the heavier portions of the crop it cut
only two or three feet. Two horses drew
the machine. On witnessing the opera
ton in an adjacent field, there appeared

little over u week ago. vI>iien San
Francisco to pay his respects to the
National Encampment of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. On ~ re-
turn he finds that his paper has
been placed under boycott, by Sc
cret committee of individuals who
have arrogated to themselves, IN
this city. the right to manage the
business affairs Of other people.
One firm stated that il did not
wish to discontinue advertising but
it had been ordered 10 do so and
must obey. The committee were
emmissaries from the antl-Chinese
League.
This boycott we look upon with
the contempt which every honest
American ought to have for It, and
we spit upon the cowardlce aud
malice which stalks behind IT.
The proprietor Of this paper
gives constant employment 70 SIX
people and occasional employment
to three more. lie employs no
Chinese In the remnte>t way. Ii is
clear then to the most thoughtless
observer that the anti Chinese
League has not boycotted him be-
cause he is the friend Of Mongoi-
ian labor
There are two principal indict
ments however which lie against
him
Ever since he has lived in Car
son City he has strlven to improve
and develope the county and has
fough: in the interest Of the Re-
publican party. He has made
grass. trees and live stock grow
where they did not grow before; be
has sunk artesian wells to practi-
ca,lv demonstrate his faith in the
water belt which underlies the
country. to assist those who have
an interest IN the prosperity OF
Ormsby county and induce others to
make fresh efforts in behalf Of its
prosperity. He has increased the
value of taxable property. paid his
debts and every dollar earned by
the APPEAL has been spent in the
city.
These facts constitute portion OF
the indictments against the pro
prietor Of this journal.
Another serious charge against
the APPEAL 5, that for fifteen
years it has stoSd up and waged
battle for the Republican party.
To both these charges the accused
parties plead guilty, and is now or
dered to appear at the bar OF the
Garrard League and receive
the sentence of Boycott.
We do not know who this secret
committee Is who take advantage
of a mans absence from the State
to stab his business, nor do we care
10 acauaint ourselves with men who
can enjoy the exercise of such
sneaking cowardice.
But we are used to such methods
Of warfare, and have been subjected
to it for six years. If these men
will crawl out from behind their
ambush we will meet them in the
open field, man to man. There is
no honorable method Of warfare
through which we will not meet
these men.
We would like to meet them at
the Carson Opera House and de-
bate the issue upon which they es
tablish boycott We will discuss
this issue with them; not before a
crowd Of loafers. idiers, tramps,
non-p producers and failures in poll-
ties and business. but before the
intelligent, taxpaying, lawabiding
and producing element Of this COM
munity.

ity, who are making their living

The city owes it to itself to purge

it will be held by other localities if
it fails to show the manhood neces-
sary to defend its reputation from
