fact that when last seen he had no money

I'VE find also that when he left Sims

of crossing to this city he went in the

THE FASHION PLATE.

The black silk petticoat is an indis-
pensable factor in the wardrobe of every
we'll dressed woman.
A pretty dress for child has spaces
cut into the material, with ribbon or
velvet run through.
Foundation skirts for lace dresses do
not need to be very wide. Indeed many
ladies like them better when they are
narrow. For this reason it is possible to
utilize an old silk skirt that might not
be available under other circumstances.
Trimmings made of very long strands
of beads are increasing in favor. A
novelty is q girdle of passenenterie, with
IS inch strands set around it's scallops.
This brings the lower edge in scallops
around the skirt, and the effect is very
pretty.
A handsome imported costume is
made of brocaded satin. There is very
wide single box plat on either side Of
the front breadth, and the back is ar
ranged in series of narrow plaits. The
skirt is very full at the bottom Of the
back and very narrow at the top; there
fore these plaits are all in pyramid fash

logical Reports for North Carolina,
September, 1894.

The North Carolina State Weather
Service issues the following advanced
summary of the weather for September,
1894, as compared with the correspond

TEMPERATURE.-The mean for the
month was 1872 degrees, which is 20 de-
grees above the normal. The highest
lowest monthly mean, 63.2 at High
lands. The highest temperature re-
corded was 100 on the 9th, at Auburn !;
lowest, 80 on the 21st at Bakersville.
The warmest September during past 81
years was in 1881, mean 74.9 degrees !;
the coolest, in 1875, mean go.
PRECIPITATION. - Average for the
month, AT inches, which is OH above
the normal. The greatest amount
was 1893 inches, at Chapel Hill; least
amount, 1.07 at Mt. Airy. The wettest
for the state being 1913 inches; the
driest was in 1884, average, 2.04.

Pea and Bean Waeyila.

Many hundred bushels of garden peas
and beans, cow peas and sofa beans
will be destroyed by weevils in this
state during the coming winter, unless
proper treatment be used. These Wee
wills are two species of the genus Bru-
chus b. pisi, the pea weevil, is the lar
ger and is blacklist with white spots.
Il attacks only garden peas, never gar
den beans or the COW pea, Which is a
true bean. The bean weev1, b. fabse,
is a rather small yellowish hairy in
sect This weevil never attacks gar
den peas. but is the greatest pest of
beans and cow peas. Both species lay
their eggs, upon the growing pods in
the field and garden. The eggs hatch
IN few days and the young grub bores
its way into the seeds. The grub lives
within the seed until it has completed
its growth and become a perfect or
winged insect. The pea weevn never
lays her eggs upon hard or mature
seeds the bean weevil in a warm eli
mate like ours, grows from the egg to
the winged state in about two months.
The female at once lays her eggs upon
the hard and mature beans or cow peas,
and these in turn mature and produce
other insects and the process may con-
tinue, as many farmers know to their
cost, until the whole package of beans
or COW peas is consumed.
REMEDY.-The cheapest and most eff
fective remedy for both WeevllS is BIZ
sulphide of carbon. 1t is a good plan
to run the seed through a tanning mill
shortly after gathering. This cleans
the seed and destroys many eggs on the
bean. Garden peas and beans kept for
seed and COW peas should always be
treated with this substance before be-
ing stored away and as soon as possible
after being harvested. Place the loose
seeds in tight barrel which should
not be quite full On top of the seeds
place saucer containing three. or four
tablespoonsful of the bisuiphide. Cover
the barrel tightly with cover upon
which should be placed a heavy cloth
Of any kind except rubber or oil cloth.
The bisu1phide will quickly vaporize
and penetrate the entire mass of seeds
killing every grub and beetle. Allow
the covered barrel to stand for twenty
four hours, then remove the cover and
permit the fumes to escape. Never
bring a light into or near the room
while the fumes can be smelled as BIZ
sulphide of carbon is very infammable.
The smell of this liquid is objectiona-
BILE, but it is not lasting. The bisul-
phide may not kill the eggs and to in
sure complete satisfaction repeat the
bisulphide treatment after thirty days.
Bisulphide of Carbon may be ordered
| in quart or pint cans from any dealer
| in chemicals, for about twenty cents
per pound Most druggists can supply
| it in smaller quantities but at a hig her
| price.-Gerald Mccarthy, Entomologist,

The Russian Thistle.

One of the most noxious of recent
emigrants from Europe is the socalled
Russian thistle, Solsola Kali, var ira
gus. This weed is a native of Russia
where it has long been known as ter
rible pest in the wheat fields of that
empire. In this country it first became
trout lesome in the wheat-growing sec.
ton of the Dakotas. It has since spread
into many of the western and north
western states Such is the magnitude
of this pest that the Senate of the Uni
ted States in the last session of con-
gress, passed bill appropriating
ST 900. 600 for DISCRIMINATING it, but the
appropriation failed to become a law.
It is the nature of this weed when
ripe to lose its hold upon the soil and
roll up into ball. In this form on, the
level windy prairies of the northwest

spreading its seeds far and wide. While
growing each plant forms thick close

Bees and Bee Worms.

What will kill bee worms and what is the
best time to move bees ?'-M S. c., Walnut
answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Entomolo-
gist, N. E. Experiment Station)
The s'bee worm is the larvae form OF
a medium sized dark grey moth, Gal
leria melonella, a native of the old
world but now everywhere introduced
in this country. The most satisfactory
remedy is to keep only strong colonies
of Italian bees. These are so active
that they will not permit the worms to
remain in their hives if they can get at
them. Only movable frame hives should
be used. Another plan is to remove
the worms therein, then with a sharp
pointed knife cut out the worms tun-
neling the comb. Where there are
many frames infested they may be
piled loosely or hung in tight box OF
barrel and two or three tablespoonful
of carbon bisulphide in saucer placed
on top of the pile and the box or barrel
covered tightly for twenty-four hours.
Then remove the covering and expose
the frames to, the air till all odor of the
carbon bisulphide has evaporated. Do
not bring this substance near fire or
light as it explodes very easily. Pieces
of comb, dirty frames. etc, should
never be permitted to litter hive yards
or honey houses as the worms breed in
such.
As TO moving bees if you mean to re-
move them to house for the winter it
should not be done until severe cold
weather sets in or better still not at all.
Use chaff hives or cover the hives with
burlap sacks or padded sheets in cold
weather. In this climate bees do not
long remain dormant in winter. If you
mean to remove bees from one location
to another the best time is in early
spring-two or three~weeks before the
bees begin to fly. The entrance to
hives should be contracted until the
bees have become accustomed to their
new location.
