The best remedy for the cotton
boil worm consists in planting rows
of corn throughout the cotton field
SO that the eggs of the boil worm
will be laid upon the corn rather
than the cotton. Put about every
tenth row in corn in place of cot
ton and cultivate at the same time
as the cotton. Two or three plant
ings of corn will be better than
one, so that the corn will form a
good food plant for the worms
throughout the season. There are
three reasons why this remedy is
probably the best: ~ The eggs
Of the boil worm viii be deposited
upon the corn in preference to the
cotton. (2) The worms feed up
on each other when crowded to-
gether as they are in corn, and CD
planting in this way gives an OPP
portunity for the parasites of the
worm to develop Southern Guilt
yatOr.

Growers Silver Backbone.

ing medium" We have now in
circulation" in silver coin or the
representative of silver coin, $500,
600, 600, and nine-tenths of all the
transactions of every day life are
made in silver. Mr.. Cleveland has
not destroyed a dollar of silver cur
rency, but on the contrary, by
standing firmly upon the Demo-
cratic platform, he has revived the
finances of the country, and made
bimetalism not only a theory but
I'm absolute condition, upon which
both the laboring man and the
capitalist can rely with confidence.
The evenness of the money market,
and the wonderful confidence of
the people in the government dur
Jig the late labor troubles may
be credited to Growers backbone

*The data from ward Z is not sufficient

New Orleans Typographical Un-
ion No. IL builded wiser than it
knew. seventeen years ago, when it
declared against "the sympathetic
strike" and enunciated the doctrine
that it was the business of labor I'M
ions to prevent strikes as far as
possible. The late utterances OF
prominent labor leaders empha-
sizes this duty; and the action of
the American Federationof Labor,
in sitting down on Mr.. Debs' or

unions of the country. The conn-
sci of such men as President Com

Wilkinson, Of the Trainmen's

is, that, while they have a perfect
