When Alderman Edwards used Alder

PEELED from the city council. and II ne

resign rather than sit in a body with

offense. The council has had meet

expulsion. but none OF his alleged in

All this leads up to the remark that in

The Tomato Worm.

The tomato worm, or tobacco worm.
as it is quite frequently known, is often
found feeding upon the foliage of the
tomato, eggplant and tobacco, quite
stripping them of leaves, and doing
harm in this way. This is an insect of
quite general distribution, being found
in the United States and South America.
The Eggs-The eggs are spherical in
shape, smooth, of yellowish-green
color, and are about one-twentieth of
an inch in diameter.
The Larva-The full grown tomato
worm measures about three or four in.
ches in length. The head and body are
dark green, marked with lateral obliQue
white bands edged above with blush.
On one of the caudal segments of the
back of the worm there is slightly
curved, horn-like process with which
the animal is enormously thought to
produce sting.
The Pupa-Dark reddish brown, about
two and one-half inches in length, oval
in form; about four times as long as
thick. The tongue case projects out
from the head, not quite reaching the
abdomen.
The Adult-The moth is very large
insect. heavy bodied, with wing ex-
panse of about five inches. The general
color is brownish-gray. The hind-wings
are marked with two rather indistinct
angulated bands. Each fore.wing is
usually marked at its base with a
white spot. On each side of the alb
domen are five orange colored spots bor-
dered with black.
Life HiStory-The eggs are usually
laid on the under sides of the leaves,
upon which the Larvae are to feed. The

Celery Roofing.

In ''earthing up" says the Southern
Cultivator, care must be taken to pre-
vent mould from getting between and
separating the leaves. This produces
decay, and is often caused by the work
being done while the celery is wet and
by careless handling of the plant. The
leaves should be held tightly with one
hand, while the earth is drawn carefully
and evenly about the stems. An ex-
perienced celery grower uses the follow.
ing plan, which we don't doubt is a
good one: He has galvanized wire, No.
13 or IA, cut into lengths foot long.
These he binds around piece of round
wood, about two inches in diameter,
letting the ends lap. The result is a
number of rings ready for use when the
''earthing up' process begins, at a cost
Of not over 10 cents a hundred, and
which will last lifetime. After tran
splanting the celery, and it begins to
grow, slip ring over each plant, and as
it is earthed up slip up, the rings-the
earth will hold them in place, and they
will keep the leaves in position. If the
plants are too small, contract the rings;if
too large, expand them. Repeat this opera
tion as the earthing UP progresses. 1t
saves both time and labor, and the rings
can be gathered up at the end of each
season and kept indefinitely.

obtained when dormant in summer, and
the greatest amount CT tannin just after
it begins to sprout in the fall. The Gull
tivated roots are dug with any pillow or
machine that will harvest potatoes. AS
large heaps or carloads of the green
roots will heat and spoil from the fer
mentation, the roots are spread out in
a thin layer, to dry in the air and sun
shine, or when thus spread are covered
with earth, to keep them. The tubers
withstand drouth and desert conditions
so long that it is almost necessary to
slice them in order to air-dry them
thoroughly. The roots will keep best
as they grow in the ground, and should
remain there until the crop is to be
marketed and the field replanted. AS
the bunch of cultivated tubers makes
nearly all its growth the first year, the
crop needs no attention during the sue
ceeding years if left undsg, while the
precious tannic acid increases from 25
per cent in the dried one-year-old roofs
to 80 per cent in the two-year-olds, and
the third year may even reach 35 per
cent; and the valuable coloring matter
increases even faster with age. The
cultivation of canaigre is at present
much hampered by the necessary cost of
railway transportation to the distant
tanneries, but it seems probable that by
diffusion process similar to that used
with the sugar beet, an extract will soon
be proftably obtained from either fresh
or dried roots, to contain from two-thirds
to three. fourths OF pure Gannic acid,
thus saving at least one third of the
freight. Dried canaigre root commands
S65 per ton in the Austrian tanneries,
and it's intrinsic merits for tanning are
only beginning to be appreciated. The
culture of canaigre for tanning is
certainly worthy of cautious trial by the
farmers throughout the southwestern
United States, and it may prove a very
useful crop for the warm, semi-arid re-
gions of the Great Plains, including a
large area in western Texas.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-04-01

worms are voracious feeders, and eat
large quantities of the foliage, some
times quite stripping the plant. They
have little inclination to move during
the day, and on account of their re
semblance to the foliage upon which
they feed, are not usually detected I'M
til the ragged leaves attract our atten-
ton. When the worm has attained it's
growth it leaves the plant upon which
it has been feeding, and makes for itself
a hole in the ground several inches
deep. In this, it transforms to quies-
cent chrysalis, casting off it's larval skin
and becoming reduced about one-third
in size. 1t probably remains in this con-
dition during the winter, or it may be
that two or more broods are raised each
season in this state.
The moth, coming from this chrysalis,
is not Of itself harmful, as it feeds upon
the honey of flowers, sucking up the
sweets with It's long tongue; but as it de-
posits its eggs here and there on our
plants, which will hatch into worms,
we must still consider it our enemy.
During the daytime the moths remain
at rest, coming out early in the twilight
to feed and lay their eggs. The moth
much resembles a humming-bird in Its
motions as it hovers over the flower,
m aking hum ming noise with it's wings
From this resem blance, it is sometimes
known as the "humming-bird moth"
Treatment-This worm will hardly
ever be so abundant as to require other
means than hand picking for it's destruc-
ton, as regards the tomato. 1t at times,
however, becomes quite injurious to the
tobacco plant. For such cases besides
hand-plcking, there is another quite eff
ficient remedy which we may direct
against the adult, and thereby prevent
her from laying her eggs. The adults
are partial to the nectar of the common
Jamestown.weed,a and we may take adj
vantage of this habit and use it to
bring about their destruction. James
town-weed should be planted among the
tomato or tobacco plants, and into the
blossoms, just before twilight, should
be poured sweetened water poisoned
with Paris green. The moth, sucking
this in their search for nectar, will be
killed, thereby removing the source of
much trouble.-Ex. Station Bulletin

DOWN WITH BEEF
1t Is the Meat of England and the Rich.

1t Is the Neat of England and the Rich.
England has the gold standard, "
shout the sixteen-t o-oners, therefore
we ought not to have it. England, a
great manufacturing and commercial
nation, has used gold to measure values
and has proSpered; therefore the United
States, which manufactures more goods
than England and is rapidly stretching
out toward the commercial supremacy
of the world, ought to use silver"
Englishmen eat roast beef. 1t was be-
lieved in olden times that it was to this
diet that the English soldiers owed thu r
courage and valor. Whether this is true
or not does not matter. The hated Brit
ishers use beef, and that is enough. No
truly loyal American who accepts tho
doctrines of the silverite should = {
beef, either roast, boiled, fried, smoked,
or in the form of an Irish stew. If boof
makes Englishmen strong, is that any
reason why Yankees should want it?
Never. Have we not the good Boston
dish of pork and beans? Why discrimi-
nate against the American hog, fit em.
blem of the worshipers of pig silver?
BY all means let us declare our indie
pendence of beef and in the future use
pork as our standard diet, with mutton
and a little veal as subsidiary food.
There is still another reason for Civ
ing up beef and sticking to pork. Beef
is the meat of the rich. 1t is the meat
of the banker, the editor, the merchant,
the manufacturer, the professional man.
The mere fact that all these men eat
beef is sufficient reason why the farm
ers, workers, miners and lumbermen
should want pork. Why should an I'M
patriotic American want to enjoy ten
der steak, a nice rib roast, or a choice
round of corned beef when he knows
that some rich man is eating the same
kind of meat? If we are to give up gold
because the men Of property and intelli-
gence want it, why not give up beef for
the same reason?
OF course there will be some foolish
goldNgs who will say that because
EnglAhmen like beef and grow fat and
strongSn it is all the more reason why
our people should eat it too. They may
even go so far as to say that if beef is
good for rich men it is also good enout !
for the masses who create wealth. But
little facts of that kind should not dis
turb the porkites. Let them raise aloft
their banner with the motto, Down
with beef, the meat of England and the
rich" and they will win glorious VIC
tc y for the humble hog.

Gold was the standard in 1878. Gold
is the standard now. Gold will always
be the standard since God. not man,
gave it intrinsic qualities that have
made it so and will continue it so.
1t is just as sensible to say it was a
crime to discard the tallow candle for
the electric light, the stagecoach for
the railroad, the wooden pillow for the
modern implement or the needle for the
sewing machine as it is to denounce the
use of gold and silver in better fashion
than our ancestors knew how to employ
them.
This is America and almost the twen-
tieth cent? y. Americans are not going
back to China or Mexico or any part of
the past for their financial system. They
believe in progress and in the use of the
best tools and facilities the wit of man
can hit upon. Madison lind. Courier.

Some Things Nobody Can DO.

It is idle to 'hurl defiance" and boast
of what this great nation can do. It
never has been able to maintain bimetal-
lism under free coinage Of both gc'd
and silver, even when the conditions
were far more favorable than now.
This nation is unquestionably broad
enough to legislate for its own people
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation ON earth," but this
nation tried for over so years to secure
bimetallism under legal double stand
ard and completely failed. And as this
nation, "broad" as it is, is not able to
work miracles, it can no more perform
such feat now than it could in the past.

Great Is Free Silver Logic.


The National Bimetallist, an organ
of the silver mine owners, in q recent
issue declares its belief in what IS
known as +he "quantitative theory {
money!" v Itch it explains as meani" G
that the value Of all the property in ;
world is fixed by the quantity of morey
in existenc~ at any given time. If the
volume of money is increased, says The
Bimetallist, prices rise, and if money
becomes scarce prices fall. This is said
to be firmly established financial prin-
ciple.
Even if it were true that values,
which the silverites confuse with prices,
are fixed by the amount CT money in the
world, that fact would be no reason why
the United States should enact "a 16 to
l free coinage law, for the volume Of
metallic and paper money in this coun-
try has greatly increased since 1878, the
per capita circulation having risen from
$1S to nearly $23. So it is self evident
that the decline in prices of which the
silverites complain cannot have been
caused by shrinkage in our money.
To reduce the quantity theory to an
absurdity which will expose the =
norance of the editors who presume to
teach the people the science of mont J,
tbs only necessary to carry the argu-
ments of The Bimetallist to their logi-
cal conclusion. Suppose that all the
money now in the world was suddenly
destroyed with the exception of 81, 900
in gold. The silverites claim that all
the property in existence-lands, fac
tories, railroads, houses, furniture,
clothing and all other goods-would be
worth only that 81 900. Then go step
farther. If 1899 of the worlds money
were destroyed, the value of all property
would shrink to ST.. Suppose that that
dollar disappears, then the entire prop
erty ON the earth would be worth moth
ing. Such is silverite logic, and this is
the kind of "fineants" which is being
taught by the Populist press.
