LOOK FOR THE PEA AND GRAIN
WREVILS.

During the winter in warm ware
houses and in early spring in barns and
open granaries thousands of dollars
worth of damaged is yearly done by seed
weevils which bore into the seeds and
eat out the interior. Cow peas and
soy beans are especially attacked.
No time should be lost in destroying
these pests which is very easily and
cheaply accomplished by the us of
carbon bisulphide. Place the seeds or
grain in a tight bin, box, barrel or
hogshead or if the room can be closed
nearly alright pile it in a conical heap
on the floor. For each 100 pounds Of
seed allow one ounce of carbon bisul
phide. Pour this into a cup and sink
the cup to the rim a. the top of the
heap. Now cover the heap with an
old carpet or thick cloth of any kind to
keep in the fumes. If the room is not
very large and can be made quite tight
no covering Of the heap will be neces-
sary but IA to 1 3 more carbon bi sui
phide must be used. Keep the cloth
on or the room closed for twenty four
hours, then expose freely to the air and
all traces of the carbon bi-sulphide will
quickly disappear. The edible quality
of the grain or it's ability to sprout will
be in nowise injured by the treatment.
Carbon bi-sulphide readily explodes in
presence of fire and no fire or light
must be brought into the room as long
as the peculiar odor of the carbon bi.
sulphide can he smelled.
Carbon bi-sulphide costs in 6 pound
bottles about 30 cents per pound and
may be bought of most druggists

THE sUB-TREAsURY L A

To the Cotton PLGnt:-The principles
involved in the sub treasury plan are
simple and easily understood if we will
only view it from a m sense
standpoint. In order to illustrate, let
us take three separate industries or
three articles of produce, viz, gold, sill
YER and cotton. Mr.. A. owns and
works a gold mine; MI. B owns and
works a silver mine; Mr.. @ owns and
works q farm. Each of them are la
berers, each r producers. Mr.. A la
bors say 300 days of the year gathering
or producing gold; Mr.. B a like num-
Der Of days producing silver; Mr.. @
the same number of days producing
cotton. Now at the expiration of the
300 days each one of these laborers has
produce ready for converting into
money. MI. A carries his gold dust to
the government mint. The govern
ment coins it into money and he finds
that he has just $500, so his labor rep.
resents one dollar for each day he Ia
bored. Mr.. B carries his silver to the
government mint, it is coined into
money, and like Mr.. A, he has $500,
this represents one dollar for each day
he labored. Mr.. @ carries his cotton
to the government and requests that he
receive the same treatment that has
been accorded A and B, but he is de-
via6 an oOTIa1 chanca and ia told thof
the government does not recognize his
products as being worthy of govern
ment notice, that such a proceeding
would be unconstitutional.
Now the question arises, which one
of these products is the most useful,
or we will say the farmer has offered
wheat to the government, but his
wheat he finds is no better than cot
toni The civilized world cannot exist
without cotton and wheat; one is for
food, the other is for clothing. But if
there was not asingle dollar of gold or
silver in the world the world would 90
on as usual, for the wheat and cotton
would supply the wants of the human
family. W of cOurse recognize that
there are other products that are very
important to the human family. but
we select wheat and cotton becauae
they are nor important than the 9th
ers) Then why not make them equal
to gold and silver by issuing certificates
in the form OF money. They have
more real intrinsic value than either
gold or silver. SUB-TREAsURY.

COVERING UP RAsPBERRIRs.

Of course Winter is upon us now 80
that it is too late to take advantage of
all the precautions necessary for the
protection of the small fruits from des-
truction by the zero weather of some
of our severe winters. Something
however might be done yet by placing
over the plants a light covering of
straw or corn stalks. A writer says
upon the subject: So many inquiries
for the names of the hardest raspber-
ries come to me from time to time that
1 often ask the inquirers why they do
not bury up the canes in the Winter
when they need not trouble themselves
to find out what degree of cold the
plant will stand. Some of the best fla
vored sorts there are, are not among
the hardest. AS examples take Brinck-
les Orange, Herstine, Northumber-
land and Saunders, splendid sorts, but
tender even in the latitude of Philadel-
phia. These sorts have almost gone
out of. civilization because that it is diff
icult to find those who appreciate
them enough to bury the canes in Win
ter. This Summer when visiting a
neighbours garden I saw a magnificent
lot of raspberries. The ripe fruit was
very fine and in great abundance.

We often see it in print, as well as
often hear it said, that small fruit
growing and poultry-keeping should
go together. They are kindred indus
tries, and worked together faithfully
and intelligently, they are quite sure
to pay well. This is quite true, but
the combination need not stop there.
Poultry keeping, both for pleasure and
profit, may be successfully combined
with a hundred different occupations.
From our experience and ebserva-
ton we believe that pure bred poultry
keeping at least is combined with all
manner of Cfice work or indoor occu.
patioRs. 1t is resorted to as a pleasure
to the worried mind and brain and a
recreation to the tired eye that has
been pouring owe the tiresome pages
of printed matter, or wrestling with
the uncertain writing of hurried hands.

pursuits are fRnoiers Of pure-bred poul-
try. There is no profession or trade

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times Dem.) makes some
very startling and very bold charges
against Cleveland and his gang of Wall
street brokers. He boldly asssrts that
Cleveland is simply ION the make"
and that he does not hesitate to use
his official position to feather his nest.
Here is M of the schemes which the
ex-Sherif of Buffalo is working: The
American Investment Company, whose
headquarters are in New York, is the
medium by which the deal is car
ried through. Cleveland, Lamont,
Whitney, Benedict and a lesser light
own the Investment Company. The
Investment Company is engaged,
among other things, in the wood pulp
business.
Although Cleveland is a free trader,
by a singular coincidence wood pulp is
favored by a very comfortable protec
tive tariff. And it is listed, so it is
said, by special request from the White
House-and chairman Wilson, who has
the matter in hand, heeds the requestl
The same wicked correspondence
also declares that the patents used by
the American Investment Company
were formerly owned by Warner Md

Cleveland. That these patents were
transferred to the aforesaid Invest
ment Company for a consideration

ITALIAN VS.. COMMON BEES.

We are asked if Italian are better
than common bees and if 80 in what re-
spect. The Italian is superior to the
black bee in several respects. A writer
in the National Stockman says: Italian
bees have been taking the lead of the
native stock and all kinds yet intro
duced. They certainly deserve their
good reputation. Out at work earlier
in the morning, in from the fields later
at night, they are stronger and can
carry longer loads of precious nectar
than others, and these are a few of
their superior points. If you have once
handled a colony pf Italians you would
never care to touch a black bee again.
The vast difference that exists between
the two species in this respect is seen
by all the moment both are handled.
The Italians are easily distinguished
from the blacks by their color and
markings. A fine italian has three dis.
tinct yellow bands encircling the abdo-
men. If you Cross the two races YOU
have a hybrid and these will be found
to have sometimes one or two of these
yellow bands, and An uglier bee need
not be searched for. Ityou have good
Italian stock you can do most anything
with them you choose. The tongues
of these are longer than those of the
black and thus they are enabled to sin
honey from flowers out of which The
native bees could not CLEAN a bit. A
few tests have been made to prove this
and one Is to fill a tumbler with honey
and then the glass with a piece
of fine netting; allow both the blacks
and Italians to gather ON this netting
and carry away all they can reach Of
the honey. You will notice that when

TREATMENT OF FEVER BY COLD
BATHS.

Dr.. w. g. Thompson has reported in
the American Medical Journal, a Sc
ries of cases, ninety five in number,
treated by him at New York and Pres
byterian Hospitals during the last three
wears. Three hundred and forty cases
treated by other methods at the Pres
byterian Hospital, from 1882 to 1892,
gave a mortality of seventeen and
eight-tenths per cent, and five hundred
and one cases treated by other methods
at the New York Hospital, from 1877
to 1889 gave a mortality of nineteen
and four-tenths per cent. Ten years OF
s'expectant' treatment among one
thousand, three hundred and five cases
in various hospitals of New York
showed a death rate of between twenty
and thirty per cent. (Celafield,) By
the Brand system the mortality In
both the above institutions has been
reduced to v and five tenths per
cent.
The method of clubbing" which was
employed is as follows: A portable tub
on rollers is placed at the patients bed
side and partly filed by hose with
water at seventy degrees +. When
the patients temperature rises to 1O2 5
degrees F he is given an ounce Of
whisky, and in a few minutes is lifted
naked into the tub in which there is
enough water for complete immersion
of the body. The patient is kept there
usually about fifteen minutes, during
which time he is vigorously rubbed
over the entire body and occasionally
turned from side to side. He is then
lifted on the blankets on the bed and
rubbed dry. He is then given a glass
of milk with malt extract and left to
sleep, which he usually does. A sheet
should be the only covering to favor
evaporation, and in rel cases a
compress wet with cold water over the
chest and abdomen is constantly ORR
When these baths are begun early in
the disease a dozen or fifteen will gen
orally suffice. Often three or four a
day will answer. DR.. Thompson has
given as high as eighty or ninety baths
to one person. In bad cases they must
be given once in three hours, day and
night. To a highly nervous patient an
initial bath at ninety degrees may be
given. As a rule a reduction at be
tween two and two and a half degrees
F follows, which may remain three
hours. Even wnere no reduction is
noticed the patients general condition
remains good; menstruation need not
interrupt the treatment. Seven deaths
occurred from the following u
Four from intestinal perforation and
peritonitis, two from hemorrhage and
one from pneumonia. Complications
have been very few, and the general
result remarkably satisfactory. The
chief characteristic Of nearly all the
cases treated by bathing was the alb
sence of the symptoms so commonly
observed, such as stupor or delirium,
%subsultus, etc. None of the s re-
ceived antipyretic medicine while the
bath treatment was in progress.

at the end of season, and at no stage
of growth allow any seed bearing
plants to mature seed, This not only
weakens the plant, but will give
trouble from Seeding plants. The sec
ond a cultivate as thefrst season,
having given a heavy manuring broad
cast, or in the absence of manure, not
less than 1000 to ], 800 pounds Of high
grade ammoniated fertilizer. The fol
lowing autumn give a dressing OF half
a ton per acre of kainit, and manure
again in late winter or early spring.
As this season cutting will begin, the
first culture, before any growth begins,
should consist in blowing the land IN
sharp ridges over the rows and clean
ing out the dead burrows between so as
to drain all water away. These ridges
warm up more quickly than the fiat
land and cause earlier growth. The
cutting should be done as soo as the
shoots crack the ground, by running a
long asparagus knife down near the
crown of the root and cutting without
hurting the adjacent shoots, cutting
none that cannot be long enough for
the regular punching machine. The
French growers pull the soil away by
hand and pull the shoots without cut
ting, and then return the soil.
To grow green asparagus, we do not
plant in deep trenches, and we can pro-
duce asparagus at an earlier date in the
season because the roots are ear the
surface. Our practice is as follows: We
SOW the seed thickly, preferably in au-
tumn. The land being we'll prepared,
lines are marked out on the level sur
face, and the young plants are trans
planted with a dibble, as soon as they
are about as long as ones finger. These
young plants can be set very rapidly
and they live and grow as readily as
any other spring plants. We set them
rather closer in the row than when
planting roots in trenches, say Is to 90
inches apart. Cultivation is perfectly
fat. I once had asparagus fit 20 cut
Gu0 A0AVS CdSOA4 Wy uuiS HCUAOA3 OuV i
is better to defer any cutting until the
second year, and this will be a year
ahead of roots set in trenches. These
roots all ramify near the surface and
start very early in spring, The cut
ting too, is more simple, because the
entire growth, or nearly all, is above
ground, only a slight ridge being made
in spring over The rows. The stalks
are cut off just below the surface. To
my taste, this is by far the best aspar-
agus, and wherever buyers get ecu
toned to it they no longer want the
blanched article. The planting of such
a bed is a matter of far less cost than
the old method. Of course, the bunch
ing is always done by a machine, max
ing uniform punches, and it is unnec
essary to describe it here. But many
growers injure the sale of their aspar-
agus by using poor ties of Irvine OF old
rags. Always use fiat ties of bass
bark or Raf1a, and always put two
ties on a bunch. Cut the butts square
and pack in crates just deep enough to
stand the punches on a bed of fresh
moss or grass.-W. F. Massey, N. c..
