The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1891-06-25

The champion family of iowa is
living on a farm near Hartford, CT.
There are twenty nine living child
ren, Robert Packard and wife being
responsible for the entire crop. The
first, a man now forty nine years
O!d, married and lives on fan m nd
joining the parents. The other %
are single and live at home. There
is onl. one girl among the lumber,
the first child was born alone. The
next five births produced triplets
and the remainder are sets of twins.
The Treasury authorities at Wash
ington have inst had their attention
called to the fact that IL would be an
easy matter to tunnel from a neigh
boring building into their vaults, re-
move the coin and ship it down the
Potomac. Seventy guards now
watch the treasury, and every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent rol:-
berry. It would be a disgrace as well
as calamity if the national treasury
should be looted by anybody except
republican congressman in their oc-
casional billion dollar Aurries.

the king on his throne; while the lit
tie miss, with checks all aglow with
genuine JOY, would not exchange
her place in the dance for the diadean

a Moth study-H"w to Destroy the Ores


a Moth study-H"w to Destroy the Great
Pests.
The great mistake folks mako is to
await the heat of the summer before
watching for moths. Folks have bundled
I'D their woolens and packed them away
in their chests full of tarboline or carbo-
line or cedarine or camphorIino and actu-
ally believed that they won be safe until
fall. They have wrapped up hundreds of
moth eggs which eventually hatch the
grubs. These odors will never kill
moth or destroy its life germs. To be sure
a moth will not voluntarily seeka nesting
place where the odors exist, but If boxed
up with an odor it cannot escape from it
simply proceeds to lay its eggs in the
atmosphere which becomes a second
nature to the grab when Matched.
Anything saturated with arsenic or cre-
osote, or even salt. or impregnaled with
sulphur, the moth or worm will not
touch, but the use of these articles is
dangerous 70 the colorings of fine text
ures 1t is discouraging, indeed, when
housewife shakes out her clothes and
puts them into camphor trunk and
keeps them there all summer, to find that
in the TALL they are fairly riddled; but
the trouble has been she watched only
for moths, when the moth is not at all
destructive. 1t is the worm that she
should have been on the lookout for,
which matches out the egg, and as the
egg is hardly perceplible TO the naked
eye, a mere white speck like the point of
pin. the danger is passed over unseen.
1t must be apparent that it is quite diff
icut to kill the enthusiastically small eggs
by reason of their almost imperceptible
diminutiveness. and difficult, also, to Grad
icate the moth by reason of it's secretive
habits. A benzine spray is sure death,
but there are many objections to its use
and danger from its infammable character !;
still if the ordinary throat spray. which
can be bought for a trifle, is filed with
benzine and the vapor thrown into crew
ices against moth or eggs. it will destroy
them, but no light should be brought into
a room thus treated until it has been thor
ougly aired and the odor dissipated.
After a thorough airing OF wooden fab
ric-for the purpose of driving out any
concealed moth (for moth abhors light
and after time has been given to the de-
velopment of any concealed egg. you may
be reasonably sure that there is nothing
harmful on the fabric; then it is as safe
done up in a paper parcel as it would be
if saturated and buried beneath all the
anti-mouth remedies in existence.

and Geese.

There is one point about garden that
imparting lesson in general farm Guilt
walton, and that is the fact that an enor-
nous production can be secured from a
small space. This is due to the use OF
plenty OF manure and imparting good
cultivation. The garden plot is kept al
ways rich and in good condition, and
much more is expected from it than from
an equal area devoted to other crops on
the farm yet there is nothing 10 prevent
the whole farm from being a garden, pro-
vided fewer acres are cultivated. The
garden is really miniature farm, and in
dictates plainly what can be done on a
larger scale, and the experience gained in
growing garden crops assists greatly in
managing farm.
The labor of cultivating garden plot is
much greater, proportionately, than that
required for the farm, but much of the
labor can be saved by properly arranging
the shape of the plot and the mode of
laying off the rows. The easiest garden
to cultivate is one so arranged as to per-
NIT the horseshoe to pass between the
rows: hence garden plot should be OF
rectangular shape rather than square, with
its length such as to permit OF the rows
being as long as possible for a garden,
which will be more convenient for the
arrangement of the crops. Thus one Tor
two, if desired) row of beets, one of car
rots next, one OF peas, etc., so as to have
one long row of each, win be systematic
arrangement and labor-saving, as the use
of the hoe will be avoided. Such crops as
melons. sweet corn or pumpkins should
be grown outside of the garden, as they
require too much room in proportion to
their value by this arrangement of the
vegetables into long rows each row can be
plowed and q new crop put in its place,
without disturbing other growing crops.
Putting in new crop as soon as the
earlier one is removed adds largely to the
capacity of garden, as well as assisting
to keep down weeds, as the garden plot
is thus kept under constant cultivation
until frost. Beans can follow early peas,
late potatoes can be planted on the old
strawberry bed (which is usually turned
under after the berries are pickedJ, and
turnips can follow early potato s. Even
a late crop of peas may be put in again,
and for the very early crops more than
one row may be used for each, as the
greater variety of crops are those planted
after danger OF frost is over.

CHARLOTTE. N. c., May 2.-The Carolina
Central tranmen have been having a peculiar
experience with caterpil1ars for four or five
days past and 1t is something unheard of in the
railroad history of the state. Just east of
Lumberton is what is known as the big swamp
and the road goes through il on the trestle
work, broken here and there ia
solid portions Of the swamp by
entertainments Of earth. Last Tuesday an
army of caterpillars began moving out of the
swamp. and when they reached the streams
over which the trestles carry the rails. they
massed on the road and proceeded to cross on
the trestles. The rails and ties were covered
inches. deep with the moving mass. and
was brought to dead stand
still. the driving wheels of the engine slipping
around as if the rails had been oiled. The engi-
neer exhausted the contents OF his sand box
before he set through the swamp ard reached
a clear stretch of track 1t was thought the
trip would be the end of the caterpillar trouble,
but the very next day train encountered
another army of caterpillars crossing the
trestle, and had hesame difficulty. The Char
lotie bound passenger train yesterday had sim.
liar experience. and passenger saws the scene
was something truly wonderful. The rails aud
cross ties were actually obscured from sight.
The masses OF catapillars and the ground and
swamps each side of the track were Uttered
with the fragments Of millions Of the
oatapillars from the wheels OF pass
ing trains. and from this mass an uncomfortable
stencil arose. Ii is not known where the cater
pillars came from. The farmers on this side of
the swamp express no uneasiness for the safety
of their crops long the advancing army
persists In using the trestle as its means OF get
ting across the streams. for none OF them have
got more than half way across before a train
