THE MAY BUG.

h vineyards and orchards through
out central Carolina are suffering seri-
GUS damage from the so called Nav bIIo
-LdchnOsteTnG fGscG. This is a LARGE
shining green beetle, which settles in
focks upon the tender shoots and fruit;
of the vine, fig, peach and other trees.
1t is the parent form of the white
grub" so hurtful to the roots of grow
ing crops.
Prompt and vigorous measures must
be taken by fruit growers, Those who
have been spraying with the Bordeaux
mixture and added a little Paris green
to this will not have suffered much
damage so far. But the fruit is now
too far advanced to permit the use of
Paris green, and manipulating must be
resorted to. This is neither expensive
nor laborious. Provide an old UNI
brella, a piece of heavy Canton flannel
about 40 inches square, a bucket and
some kerosene OIL Line the umbrella
with the flannel, having the woolly
side upwards-towards the handle.
Pour upon this as much kerosene as It
will hold. Half fill the bucket with
water and upon the water pour a LAYER
OF kerosene about / inch thick. Invert
the umbrella under q vine or limb upon
which the bugs are seen and give the
post, wire or tree a sharp Jar. The
bugs will drop at once into the UNI
brella and become entangled in the
wool of the Canton flannel, which will
hold them until the kerosene touches
them. Most of the bugs will be at once
disabled or killed by the oil in the fan
mel. Now turn the bugs out of the UNI
brella into the bucket and proceed to
the next vine or tree and repeat the
operation as before. The living bugs
turned into the bucket will be instantly
killed by the layer of Oil, and may be
scooped out and thrown on the ground
to make way for the next lot. The
flannel in the umbrella must be kept
wet with kerosene. In this manner
one man can go over four to six acres
of vineyard or orchard per day and
kill three fourths of all the bugs in the
place. Repeat treatment after a week
if necessary. Kerosene oil costs from
ID to Is cents per gallon, and one gallon
will do for several acres-GeTdLd Nc

A STORY OF TWO BOYS.


The Raleigh State Chronicle tells
. good story Of late Ex-Governor
w. w. Holden which is worth con.
dcnsing and reproducing here.
Holden started IN lite - . prin.
ter's devil. One cold morning the
boy was delivering papers, and at
. rich mans mansion he was invited
into the DINING room to warm
himself BY the fire. A handsome
college boy on q visit to the family
was sitting at the table, aud when
the little devil left, this comfortable
and happy youth handed him . but
tered biscuit.
Young Holden walked of eating
his bisonit, envying the college
student and feeling very blue.
Time brings wonderful changes.
Thirty years later the boy who gave
the biscuit was defeated for Gov.
ernor by the bare-foo:ed lad who
received it.
There Is plenty Of encourage
ment in this story for poor boys,
and they win not stop to inquire
whether the right man was elected
or not.

HOW TO KILL FRUIT TREE
Il

Quite q number Of ways fer de-
stroying the larvae Of various kinds
that live in the bark and sapwood
Of the apple and other varieties Of
fruit trees, have been published,
but none Of them are good, 10 my
judgment, rs the way that l now
recommend. l know Of no better way
Of eifectually putting astop to their
depredations than BY nsing una
dulterated kerosene quite freely
wherever the castings Of the larvse
are seen protruding through the
bark. Az soon as the kerosene
comes in contact with these sawdust
like castings it Is absorbed and car.
ried by capillary attraction until It
permeates the whole burrow and
comes in contact with the larve,
and then, soon, this noted little
tenant is lifeless.
In using Kerosene there is no use
in cutting, digging into or In any
way mutilating the tree to find the
Larvae. The fluid kerosene will find
1t, and tins is enough Tor pratical
purposes, and then nature ''steps
in" with her ''heAling art" and
mends the damage done to the
tree. The amount Of kerosene used
for this purpose Is 90 small that II
endangers in no way the health of
the tree. A person can visit and
inject many trees In = single hour,
and II necessary apply the spout Of

/. Bad roads lead to profanity
they make men swear.
2. Bad roads lead to intemper-
ance; men think in necessary "a

drinks TO enable them to stand the

A VALUABLE RECIPE FOR
MAKING WHITEWASH.

In its s'answers to correspond
ents," the Louisville Courier-JOur-
nal publishes the following valua-
be recipe for making whitewash.
which Is the same kind used upon
the White House., otherwise known
q the Presidents Mansion, in
Washington City. 1t is worth pre-
serving and should be in every
household. The following IS the
recipe in question. only modified
slightly - the result Of actual cx-
pesience:
Take half . bushel say. Of nice
unslacked lime, elack it with boil
ing water, covering it during the
process TO keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through . fine
strainer,I and add to it q peck OF
clean salt, previously we'll dissolved
In warm water; three pounds OF
ground rice, boiled to . thin paste.
stirred in boiling hot half a pound
Of powdered Spanish whiting, and
. pound Of clean glue, which has
been previously dissolved by first
soaking It we'll and then hunging it
over . slow fire, in . small kettle
within . large one filed with water.
Add Eve gallons OF hot water to the
mixture; stir It well and let II
stand . few days covered from the
dirt. 1t should DC put o. quite
hot ; for this purpose it can be kept
In = kettle on . portable furnace.
II Is said that about one pint of this
mixture will cover . square yard
upon the outside Of q house. il
properly applied. It answers as
well - oil paint for wood, brick OF
stone, and l. much cheaper. 1t re-
tains its brilliancy for many years.
There b nothing Of the kind that
will compare with it for covering
either inside or outside walls. Col
oring matter may be put in and
made Of any shade desired. Span
ish brown stirred in viii make . red
or pink, more OF less deep. accord
Ing to the quantity. A delicate
tint Of this is pretty for inside
walls. Lamp Mack and Spanish
brown mixed together produce q
reddish stone cci0l. yellow Ochre
stirred in makes . yellow wash, but
chrome goes further and makes .
color generally esteemed much
prettier.

RECONCILIATION.

The Franklin vindicatOr, . strong
McEnery paper, takes \ sensible
view Of the situation, and graceful
accepts the result AZ follows:
The fight has ended. Arms are
grounded. The din Of strife has
ceased, we hope forever in L0uisi.
ana, and the smoke Of the bitterest
campaign has cleared away. The
victors and the vanquished can
meet on mutual ground and clasp
hands .'across the bloody chasm,"
for the fight made through three
small centuries Of bitterness.
Though We labored earnestly
aud honestly for the cause we
espoused from the inception Of
the present campaign to its final
winding up some time ago, and
though that cause, after two sue
cessful victories, hiss gone down in
defeat in the third aud final battle,
the vindicator has no regrets to o..
press and no apologies to make,
and nothing to ask for at the hands
Of the new administration but .
strict impartial enforcement Of the
law, which has not been done for
these many years past.
At the beginning Of the campaign
the vindicator took its stand, and
though some Of our best friends
were on the other side our course
could not he changed from the heat
en- paths Of duty.
There is one thing for which
We can all be thankful, and that IL,
It was merely . War Of words. The
s'knife to the hilt'' aud the "Win.
chester to the front" were not
brought in as mcdiators for the is
sue. The battle flags Of faction
have been furled and laid away for
ever. Mutual allowances for all
mistakes and grievances osn now
be made, aud both sides In peace
and reconciliation, will unite under
the old Democracy, earnest only for
the best interests of the parish, the
State Of Louisiana and the broad
union Of the United States.
