Won't Ship to New Orleans.

The Missouri Pacific this morning an
noGnced that il was out of the New Orleans
business and that until further notice no
more grain destined 10 New Orleans would
be accepted for shipment. Although the
move was rather expected by some the an
nouncement created something of sensa-
ton among the shippers. The Missouri
Pacific has been affected more than any
other line by the car shortage, and despite
the enormous business it has done out of
here III grain shipments 10 the Southeast,
he line has lost money on account Of the
lack of cars.
The officials of the road an nounced to-day
that the order would be effect until the
road secured The return of the large number
Of ears that are now between here and New
Orleans.
The withdrawal of the Missouri Pacific
leaves the Memphis alone in the field, and
as that road is more or less handicapped by
the want of cars the situation has become
worse instead Of better. At New Orleans.
according to the reports, there is danger of
heavy blockade While the roads have

FIGHTING PARAalIEs.
The Proper Way and Time for the April
cation of Ihaecticidea

cation OF insecticides.
It is important that the use of insec-
ticides for preventing the depredations
of insects should begin just as early in
the season as possible. A delay of one
week may give the insects an opportu,
nifty in their favor which cannot be
overcome later on. 1t has been dem
onstrated that all arsenical poisons, and
especially paris green and London pur-
pie, will be eaten if the solutions are
applied to the trees at the proper time
and in the right manner. One pound
of paris green in 200 gallons of water,
or one pound of London purple in 400
gallons of water are the proportions.
1t is applied with what is known as the
sprayer, force-pump adapted so as to
throw fine mist or spray, which falls
on every portion of the leaves and bios
SONS.
Many insects lay their eggs on the
blossoms, and the larvae soon eat their
way down into the young fruit that
forms from the blossom. If it gets into
the fruit it is safe from harm, as no in
secticides can be so applied as to
reach them. But when the blossoms
are sprayed the young creatures are
compelled to eat the poison, and are
killed. The point to observe is that
the most important time is when
the trees are poisoning, and
to avoid mistakes the work of
Eyit tho {ranc ehp,,ll ha
eral times, in order that none of the
blossoms are missed. The appliances
that have been invented for the pur-
pose of spraying trees permit of the
work being done thoroughly, easily and
quickly. by attending to such duty not
only will the larger portion of the fruit
be saved, but the number of insects re-
duced, thus lessening the labor next
season.
The bordeaux mixture, so frequently
given, is also applied by the sprayer,
and unless the work is done as early as
possible the time will be lost. For
grapevines the spraying should be done
ten days before the blossoms appear,
and also just after blossoming, as well
as several times while the grapes are
growing. One mixture is prepared by
dissolving one pound of sulphate of cop,
per in three gallons of hot water, and
when cold pint of ammonia is added,
the whole reduced with twenty-five
gallons of water. This is known as
the ammonia and copper solution, and
dispenses with the lime, while the Dor.
deaux mixture requires lime, which is
Objectionable to some. All plants upon
which fungi appear, or are liable to
appear, should be sprayed, and the
sooner it is done the better. -Philadel
phia Record.

German
Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
viii ch have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and SO nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ proof and well. o
