that he was glad to see her stock
ing up. When the paper came
out he was surprised on meeting
the lady to have her strike him

that she would tell his wife. He
didn't know what she was mad at,

Since making the announcement in
regard to farmers Institutes, in our
June issue, arrangements have been
made for number of such meetings in
different parts of the State. Most of
these meetings will be- held during
August and September, and if additional
meetings are desired the Station should
be informed at once. State the subjects
which it is desired to have discussed,
the time when it will be most conve-
nient to have the meeting, and whether
it will be for one or two days.

HOUSE Tiles.

These pests are more abundant this
season than for seycra years past which
makes any information concerning them
specially desirable. The flios breed i'll
stable manure and it takes about two
weeks to produce new brood The
only way in which flies can BE- kept out
Of the house is by the use of screen
doors and screens At the windows.
Through the North ncerly every house
has these sceens, bIt in the South they
have not as yet comb into general use,
many thinking that they exclude the
air. Theoretically no doubt they do
exclude some air, hut practically there
is but little difference and the screens
are great comfort
The flies in a room can be easily gotten
rid Of by the Use Of pyrethrum, but Of
course without the use OF screens a new
supply will como in every day. The

Spraying With Kerosene.

Heretofore, when kerosene has boon
used as an insecticide, it has been neces-
sary to make it into an emulsion by
mixing it with soapsuds, which Is
a complicated operation requiring con-
siderable care and experience, but the
sntomologist of the Mississippi Station
has recently devised an attachment,
which can be fastened to an ordinary
knapsack pump by means of which the
mixing is done in the act OF pumping.
BY means of this attachment kerosene
can be used against all insects except
those living in confined places whore
they cannot be reached, such IS tomato
worms, those living in stored grain, etc.
The amount Of kerosene which should
BE- used will vary with tho kind OF in
sect to be treated, some requiring >
much larger proportion than others
Nearly all plants will bear one part OF
kerosene to ten OF water, but whom >
stronger application is made, it should
hrst be- tested on TOW plants to see il
tho foliage is affected. For thu treat
ment OF ordinary insects the following
proportions are recommended:
Plant lice, Of all kind, 1-20.
Caterpillars or other larva exposed on
leaves, lis.
Scale insects on leaves, ITO. H.
Scale insects on bark, summer treat.
ment, 2-l0.
Scale insects on bark, winter treat
ment, $40.
Lice on domestic animals, excep,
hogs, $40
Lice on hogs and ticks on cattle, $40
The attachment adds about two dol
lars to the cost Of the pump, but more
than doubles its value.

Stored Grain Insects.

This month some Of the corn cribs and
granaries will be empty and the in
sects therein will escape to the fields
for egg laying. Just before the corn
crib is empty is the time to do good
work with the weevils, as they gen.
orally occur on the bottom OF tho crib
in large numbers. Here they should
be either swept up and burned or SPRAYED
with kerosene A little work just al
the right time will greatly lessen the
number OF weevils in the corn next
winter.

Grasses and Forage Plants.

After making careful tests of more
than six hundred kinds of grasses and
forage plants, the Mississippi Station
recommends tho following as being the
best for general cultivation in this State;
For YeHor Loam Soils For perma
ncnt meadows on rich land, Bermuda
grass; for hay crop to occupy rich land
two years, red clover; for single hay
crop on fair soils, cowpeas; on poor soil,
lespedeza. For permanent pastures
Bermuda grass and lespedeza, to which
may be added on dry soils orchard grass
Hungarian bronze grass, and bur clover:
on wet soils the addition should consist
of redtop, water grass, and alsilie clover.
Crimson clover, rescue grass Terrell

for winter pasture.

Plants for Naming.

We are in almost daily receipt OF spec
linens of plants, with request that we
should name them and stat" their value
for hay and pasture. We are always
rlad to receive such specimens, and to
rive all the information possible con-
corning them, but many Of the plants sent
are such small fragments thatwe can do
nothing with them. When plants are
to be identified they should show stems,
leaves, and flowers or seeds. Grasses
may be sent at any time after they are
headed out, but other plants should be
sent when in flower if possible.

Charlton.

The veterinarian OF the MISSISSIPPI
Experiment Station gives the following
summary Of the causes, symptoms, and
preyentiyes of Charlton, which is often
so fatal among mules, especially in the
delta region of the State.
Cause.-The cause of the disease is
the introduction of the charbon produc-
in germ into the body Of the animal.
This is chiefly done by flies and other
insects, and in eating and drinking food
and water contaminated with the germ.
Symptoms. Il sually for some hours
before tho disease shows itself by eXter-
nal swellings the affected animal will
show signs of general depression, such
as dropping of the ears, sunken eyes,
and tagging gait AS the disease
progresses the temperature may rise to
l0j degrees and swellings make their
appearance in the regions OF the belly,
breast and throat. These swellings may
continue until the animal dies. A post
mortem examination will show a greatly
CUdIItu anu llNOL anu pAVSH'
Prsrention.- animals should not
be allowed TO run where others have
died with the disease. AS soon as the
animal dies the body should be com
pletely destroyed by burning. They
should be protected from flies and other
insects as far as possible. For this pur-
rbn1iyal oil ho naoH-nno
part OF acid to twenty OF oil. No
mouldy or decomposing food should be
fed to any animal, nor should it be al
lowed to Craze on low, marshy, ill
drained lands in worry hot, dry weather,
whom the pasture is short. This il es-
pecialy so after excessive rains and
high water.
Charlton is peculiarly disease OF the
river bottoms and lowlands where stag
nant water and decomposing organic
matter is plentiful. In Mississippi the
most common cause OF this disease and
others OF kindred nature is impure
water from swsmps and improperly con-
structeu anu oauIy Aopt pools uoou
pure water is essential to good health in
live stock, but many Mississippan

his antiquated and erroneous belief that
it makes no difference what kind OF
water his stock has to drink. No kind
OF stock should be allowed to wallow or
wade into the water it is to drink, and

profi,ab Cows can be kept at much
less expense in the South than III the
North, which is fortunate for US, as
only small proportion Of our dairy
herds make As good yields as do those
in the dairies OF New York and wiz

our climate, OF the foods which we give,
or in our methods OF handling and caring

method of using the pyrethrum IS as
follows: When the room is not going to
be used for a few hours, say at night, 1t
should be closed as tight as possible
and pyrethrum blown about the room
by means of the small bellows, such as
are for sale at drug stores. In few
hours, or the next morning, all the
flies which were in the room will be on
the floor and can be swept pand burned.
If the pyrethrum is of good quality
the flies will be killed, otherwise they
will only be stupefed. In dairies and
other places where many people pass in
and out the screen doors, the flies
gradually increase, but can be easily
gotten rid of in the manner described.
Pyrethrum is not poisonous in any way
to man, as it consists simply Of the
powdered leaves and flowers of plant
grown in Persia and California. 1t can
be purchased at drug stores for about
thirty-iiye cents per pound.
For some weeks past an item regard
ing the use of "linolMm' oil for flies
has been going the rounds of the press.
1t was recommended that five cents
worth Of the oil be purchased and
diluted with about twenty parts OF
water and sprinkled on the table linen
and the like. This has been carefully
tested at the Experiment Station, but
does not appear to be effective for more
than an hour or two after its use.

No Bond Issue Decided On.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24--It can
be stated on authority that the
rumor which gained currency to
the effect that the president had
decided to announce another bond
issue at once, and that the conclu-
sion had been reached by the cabi-
net meeting yesterday, was with
out foundation in fact. The only
members of the cabinet who saw
the president were Secretary
Lamont, who had just returned to
the city, and called to pay his re-
spects, and later in the day Secre-
tary Olney and Secretary Carlisle.
The general situation was discussed
informally, but the question OF
the immediate issue of bonds was
not considered.
