All reaches are enormously fecund,
all voracious and eat every kind OF
food used by people. They prefer
bread and -four, and foods made OF
flour. These pests are nocturnal in
their habits and hence are apt to es-
cape observation until their mum bers
increase SO much as to render their
presence alarmingly patent.
REMEDY: Cleanliness where such Is
practical is essential to keep free of
these insects. In mills and ware
houses where flour dust and grain is
everywhere, the carbon bisulphide
Immigration must be resorted to, and
must be very thoroughly done, SO that
the vapor of the substance will find it's
way into the cracks and crevices where
these pests hide. In addition pyre-
thrum powder should be blown in to
cracks where they are known to hide,
or pure kerosine oil may be blown in
with an ordinary oiling can. Pow
dered borax sprinkled on shelves
where they run will drive them away.
Old rags moistened with molasses wa
ter in which Paris green has been sus-
pended will poison them. The cloths
should be freshly moistened each
evening and removed in the morning.
THE GRAIN AND RICE WEEvIL Ca

DINA we have two species of grain we

Both species are much alike.

Mulch fer Fruit Trees.
From the Petersburg Index-Appeal I

From the Petersburg IndexAppeal
Natures method Of growing trees
is to mulch the land heavily in
autumn for prot ection from the next
summers drying winds and heat.
The thick covering Of leaves keeps
the soil mellow, porous, and cool and
moist. The drying winds of the
spring and summer do not harden
the ground and make it close and
impervious to the roots. Besides
these advantages, the gradual decay
of the leaves yield nutrition to- the
growing plants.
1t would be well to follow nature
nearer in the management of or
chards. Now, it is unreasonable to
expect full crop of corn or peanuts
from the land occupied by an or
chard, and as a good orchard will
pay for the land occupied about as
much as any crop one can grow, it
would pay to bestow larger atten-
ton and care on the trees.
We suggest that some one try the
mulch of leaves for the orchard.
Select a part of your orchard Tor
experiment next year, and mulch it
heavily over with forest litter during
the fall, and let it remain thus
through next summer. Put on no
crop next year, and give the mulch a
chance to show what it will do.

most disgusting odor. 1T vaporIzes
readily when exposed to the air and in
this condition is destructive to all
forms of active insect life. To use it,
the room or building to be fumigated
must be closed as tightly as possible.
All Interior doors should be kept open.
Expose the liquid in shallow pans or
saucers and close the building for
"a to 4s hours. Then open all doors
and windows and allow the gas to
disperse in the air. Care should be ex-
ercised to avoid breathing the gas and
on no account should any fire or light
be brought into the room or building
while the peculiar odor can be smeiled.
This substance is highly explosive and
lnf1amable. With care no harm will
follow its use. When the gas disperses
in the air it leaves no residue behind,
SO that no trace of it can be found in
the -four or food Where only a small
lot of goods or sacks are infested they
may be placed in an air tight room, or
bin and a dish of the liquid placed
within near the top. Use about four
fluid ounces of the liquid for each %
cubic feet of space, or for grain or
-four in tight bin use 1 pound of
carbon bisulphide for each ton.
Carbon bisulphide can be bought of w.
Md, and of Edward Clark, Columbus,
o. Price about 20 cents per pound in
5 pound cans. In smaller quantities
it can be had of any druggist.
THE Cock neutrality-suspicious. crien-
tails, and other species.-The cock
roach is one of the most common, dis
gushing and troublesome pests in all
places where -four or bread is kept.
There are two species about equally
common in this State. The larger one
is dark brown and varies from 81 to 1
inch in length. 1t runs very rapidly,
and being SO fat, it easily finds shelter
in some crack when pursued. Figure

The Fortunate South.
rom the Atlanta constitutional

From the Atlanta constitutional
Our northern contemporaries are
commenting upon the fact that few
or no reports of industrial paralysis
have been received from the south.
This state of affairs is accounted for
in part by the treasurer ola big treas
urer of a big cotton mill at Lowell
In comparing his mill with southern
competitors he said that the average
southern mill runs twelve hours
against his ten; it turn out fifty-five
yards of standard sheetings to
Lowe;l's forty-two; fifty six yards of
standard drills to Lowell's forty six;
forty three yards of four-yard sheet
ings to Lowell's thirty six, and SO on.
The Lowell man went on to say that
the southern mills have just as good
spinners and weavers as can be found
anywhere. They buy cotton cheaper
than the northern mills can get it,
and their dividends are larger
The New York Evening Sun, in an
editorial OF the northern and south
ern cotton mills, declares that as
matters stand at present the former
cannot reduce wages or resort to any
expedient that will enable them to
meet southern competition. They
must wait for better prices and an in
creased demand for their products.
We have now merely an indica ton
OF what the south,s Industrial future
will be. The time is near at hand
when the great manufacturing indus
tries ofthis country will seek locat-
ions within sight of southern fields,
forests and mines. The good fortune
of the industrial south in esca ping t he
evils OF the present depression has
given the northern manufacturers
something to ponder over.

a, caterpillar; b, pupa; c, adult; d, head and
fefe- part of caterpilla; e, hind-part of cater
views of wings. The lines show exact size.
This insect is of obscure nativity, but
is thought to be American by European
sptomologists. 1t first became troub1ss
some On this continent in Canada In
1889. In the province of Ontario it in
Tested several large Touring and pat
sat food mills to such an extent as TO
compel the stoppage of the works for
several weeks while all hands were put
10 work cleaning and fumigating the
mills. The loss to several of these es-
Establishments. including stock and bolt
ing cloths ruined, and loss of time and
LABOR, must have exceeded 81 900 each.
The moth which produces this des-
tructive caterpillar is a slender lead
co1ored insect, about inch long. The
wings have wayy black lines near the
tip. The insect is rather sluggish and
often remains in one position fog e long
time. This moth can probably he
found active in this state In all months
OF the year except January. The eggs
are whitish or pink. and kidney-shaped.
ahe eggs are usually laid on outside Of
sacks and in the cracks Of bins, They
hatch in about 20 days. AS soon rs
Matched the caterpillar makes its way
into the -four and there spins around
itself a silken tunnel in which it lives
and feeds on the -four. These tunnels
cause the flour to become knotted into
clots which refuse TO pass through the
machinery, rendering the material
worthless, besides ciogging the cloths,
screens and spouts.
REMEDY: The only practicable rene-
dy for this pest is to fumigate the en-
tire mill and building in which -four
and manufactured foods are kept with
carbon bisu1phide.

FIG o.-GhAN WEENH- nearly black, is
very slender and about Is inch long.
Immense quantities of wheat corn and
rice are annually destroyed by these
pests in warehouses and stores. The
only practica BILE remedy for these pests
is carbon bisulphide. The infected
grain should be put in an air-tight box
or bin and dish of the liquid laid on
top of the heap. The whole must then
be tightly covered and left for "a to 48
hours: Then expose to the air until all
odor is gone. The grain or flour will
not be injured by the carbon. Use 1-2
to pounds for each ton of grain, and
cover tightly so as to keep in the fumes
until the insects are killed. They are
exceedingly tenacious of life.
THE FLAT FLOUR BEETLB-Silvanus
SurinaminSis. is narrow brown
beetle 1-12 inch long, and scarcely
thicker than sheet of paper. 1t is a
native of Asia, as its name betokens.
1t is becoming yearly greater pest in
the Southern States, and will probably
exceed in mischief even the Calandra
weevils. The remedy for this is the
same as for the others-carbon bisul-
phide. This insect is fond of greasy
substances, and if some paper is soaked
in melted lard and Paris green sprip-
killed. upon it while moist and the pois-
oned sheets distributed on floor and
many of the beetles will be killed; but
this flour will not give satisfaction
where they are already abundant until
the carbon has killed most of them.
As matter of safety all mills, ware
houses and stores where grain, -four,
and food-stuffs are kept, shAuld receive
q thorough annual cleaning, and fumi-
CATION with carbon bisulphide. This,
if attended to and thoroughly done,
will save many thousands of dollars
damage. 1t will be most etficacious if
done about April 1. 1t may be repeated
yith benefit in July or August. The
best time to fumigate is on Saturday
evening, having thoroughly closed all
outside doors and ventilators, leave
them until Monday morning. The vi
most care must be taken that no fire
shall be taken into the building while
the odor of carbon bisulphide can be
smeiled. Neglect of this precaution
will almost certainly result in an ex-
plosion and fire. With care thege is no
danger. The odor of this substance.
though most disgusting, will not injure
the most delicate food preparation.
The odor is not poisonous to human be-
ings unless breathed for a long time,
bpt as little as possible should be in-
hailed

Fall Oats and Rye.

From the Southern Cultivator.]
The general mistake in planting
this crop is that it is put in too late
and the land is not made rich enough.
The complaint is that it is so often
cut off by the cold weather. But if
the seed is put in early and the crop
forced forward by high manuring, in
nine cases out of fen, it is too far
advanced to be injured by the cold.
Every experienced farmer has noticed
that it is the poor spots in a field
which are killed first. and that often
where these are entirely destroyed,
the richer spots escape without any
apparent injury. A eropof fall oats,
the ''stand" being once secured, is
more valuable than the same area
planted in the spring. The yield is
greater and the grain is of better
quality. Every farmer, if he cannot
affo.,d more, should have at least a
patch of rye or barley. 1t is never
Wiater killed, and furnishes the much
needed green food for horses and
cattle.
