Of yesterday the following: MI. Peevy
made the following motion: Mr.. Speak

which senate bill 179. The Worlds fair

The Orange Rust Mite.

The rust-like appearance on the fruit
ii the orange Tree is often thought to be
due to fungoid growth, bat investi-
cations have lately shown that it is
caused by very smal-legged mite,
which punctures the oil cells of the fluit.
When exposed to the il huence CT the at
mosphere the txuding oil nndergoes a
change, assumihga dark rusty appear
ance, which depreCiates the value OF the
fruit tor the market. The mite which
causes this discoloration is known as
Thytoptus oleivorus, and its life history
and habits have been carefully investi-
gated. It is said we do not know with
what truth, that though hadIy-rusted
fruit is snlall, the quality is improved
rather than deteriorated.
The cause OF this improvement is said
to be that the toughened rind preserves

Carpet Grass.

This grass, an introduction dating no
great number Of years back, goes by vari-
GUS local names in addition to the one
given above, as Louisiana grass, old road
grass, poor mans grass, and so on.
Carpet grass" suggested by the car
peted-like appearance it gives to the
ground where it has secured a footing,
especially if kept trimmed down by stock,
seems to be the local name now most
adopted, and doubtless will soon be the
one recognized wherever the grass ap-
pears. It's botanical name is Paspalum
platycaule. Charleston, S. G., is claimed
to be the point at which it first appeared
in this country. From thence it grad
ually worked it's way westward, reaching
the neighborhood OF Mobile about TWEEN
ty-fve years ago. Only Il few years have
elapsed since it reached Louisiana, where

it from injury and decay and prevents
evaporation from within. A solution of
one pound Of whale oil soap in fifty gal
Ions Of water IS highly recommended as
o remedy; bat several applications at
short intervals are necessary. Flower Of
sulphur has also been putforward as one
OF the cheapest and most effective RENE
dies, and it may be used in connection
with the above mixture Or ether insect
cides. Applications OF insecticides should
be treated ON the first appearance OF the

been reported to have done good when

else, and it is just Low getting into Texas,
appearing sparsely along the eastern bor-
der Of the State. 1t usually travels by
following old roads, spreading them with
a carpet OF green as it goes, and deeply
interesting stock that happen to be tray
cling the same way.
A correspondent OF the Southern Live
Stock Journal, writing OF carpet grass,
tells Us that though comparatively
short growth FURNISHES q favorite graz
ing for all kinds of stock. 1t will grow
anywhere that Texas bluegrass will sue
coed, and in many places where it " i'll
not; and it may be readily propagated
from seed as we'll as by it's roots or run
ners.
While not strictly 81 winter grass, car
pasture, as, when nipped down by fl ost it
shoots up again in a few days and affords
very good picking for stock; and since
our ''nipping" frcsts are usually weeks
apart in the lower South, it might be
rated as really a winter grass with US.
We have known an acre Of land upon
which it had obtained a footing, in Bald
win County, to keep two calves through
the winter with comparatively little ad-
ditional feed.
Carpe; grass fo1ms a tl.ick, dense
sod, and where it gets start in Ber-
mula grass patch will eventually kill
cur the Bermuda, provided stock have
access t. the grounds and keep the
grasses closely trimmed. Unlike Ber-
muda grass it is MT hard to get lid of
turn the SGD over with the plow and
it will die Immediately.
For several inters We have noticed
out hogs following the old roads and
closely nipping the carpet grass with
great relish, ppalently. They made
no ate mpt at roofing, therefore we CON
cluded that the roots presented no at
fractions for them; but they certainly
much liked the young tender grass just
skrir ging up and went for it exclusively,
although there were within their reach
many other green growths, such as hcga
usually feed upon under other cilcum-
stances. From al of which we infer
that carpet grass is highly suited for
winter hog pasture, and that it will
eventually figure extensively On the
lands of the hog-rAiser carry ing IN his
vocation in the lower section Of tie
Southern States. 1t viii grow On al
most any character Of land, and the
more it is eaten down the more rapidly
it appears to spread; can be prcpa2ated
by llanting bits Of sod; or, if even d
tair chance, will propagate itself and
take possession Of any pasture lands
upon which stock are allowed to run.
It is peculiarly Southern grass and
therefore cannot be made TO succeed

termed in the South, is tuber occupy
Ing about the same place III the vegetable
world as the potato, can be, and should
be used in the same manner. 1t is easily
cultivated, is q wholesome edible, and as
we can secure it fresh from the ground
daily in this locality, it could be made u
very desirable substitute for the stale po-
tatoes that we are obliged to content
ourselves with generally.
A few hints in the following, as to tie
preparation of the food, may be OF use to
the ingenious housewives Of the districts
where the Taro grows:
Hawaii erioys the reputation OF pro-
ducing the finest sugar in the world; and
bananas, cCcoanuts, guavas, bread
fruit and almost all the ordinary tropi-
cal fruits are produced in abundance.
Poi, the greatfood ofthe natives, is made
from the taro plant, a vegetable similar
in size and shape to q rutabaga turnip,
which is grown in beds kept constantly
submerge in water, q number Of the beds
being termed o tai "patch." Owing to
the genial character of the climate the
plant can be cultivated throughout the
year. 1t is considered to be one Of the
most nutritious FOODS known, and is
especially adapted for dyspeptics and per-
sons troubled with stomach disorders.
The pre- cess of NAL ilg roi from tie
plant is to first boil it and ler.oye tie
skin, after which it is paced On large
wooden trays and thoroughly pounded
with pestles of stone, small quantities of
water being added from time to time
during the process CT maceration. An
hour or more Of continual pounding is
required, when substance like dough
results, known as paiai. In pre- paring
it for the IA lie, tie paiai is placed in a
wooden bowl, or ca.abash, and is al
lowed to stand for q couple Ct days, I'M
Ill fermentation sets il, when it Lecc me s
poi, and tastes, to the unaccustomed
palate, like sour flour paste; but the
taro when boiled simply as vegetable
is very palatatle.
The natives eat poi sitting around q
large calabash and dipping into it with
their fingers. The dish is known as
either enc, two or three finger poi, ac-
cording to it's consistency. One finger
poi is the thickest form in which it is
served, and sufficient adheres to one
finger when dipped into it to admit of
it's being conveyed to the mouth. a
thinner form of poi requires the use of
two fingers for the purpose-hence two
finger poi; and yet another, still further
diluted, cannot be secured from the dish
without the use of three fingers, hence
its name. Dyspepsia is almost unknown
among the KaLkas, owing, principally,
it is said, to the general use OF this sal
utary food.
