WANTED-MORE SNOW.
Overseers Of the Poor Make Strong Protest
Against the Unreasonable Weather.

The overseers of the poor report that
have been far and away beyond that OF
any within their recollection. le is
accounted for by the absence OF snow,
Sunday evenings furry was mere
aggravation to everyone, but to few more
than those who are looking for work.
An old lady, ~ years of age, was taken
TO the institution, Monday, because of
absolute want, making the total number
of inmates at the farm 40. The facilities
there are all right enough. but the ex-
pense is piling up, rapidly. The overseers
state that there is the same increase in
calls for help throughout the State, it be
ing necessary to overdraw the appropria
tion in most cases. Waterville has had a
big demand and, it Is reported, that Ban
gor has already expended S97i4 on its
paupers.
The people want to see the railroad,
piled up with snow, and the rivers
covered over, where the cutting is done tC
give the working men a chance Every
day that the snow keeps away, means al
inestimable amount of expense to the
cities and towns, directly and indirectly
The drouth of the past fall seems tC
have found an able match in the snow
drouth of this winter season, and it would
be difficult to say which is doing the more
harm, the farmers, to whom tie drouth
was especially hurtful are now joined in
the clamoring by the city worlmen, and
traders. and pretty much everybody, for
that matter.

has special application to the foes OF
the plant. They are so nearly invis-
ible that one must be continually
seeking and have at hand the needed
remedy, for delays are always danger
Gus. Prompt action with the proper
remedies is the only safeguard.
House plants are far more liable to
be infested with insects than those in
the garden on account of the warm,
close atmosphere, which is favorable
to their rapid increase. The red spider,
green fly and mealy bug are the most
common. When plant becomes
brown and sickly looking this condi,
tion is generally the work of the red
spider, which feeds on the juices OF
the plant-a minute insect but
powerful worker. He especially loves
fuchsias and salvias. To destroy him
use clear water and use literally two
or three times a day. Water does
more to drive away this pest than any.
thing else, if used thoroughly and per.
sistently. An occasional sprinkline
does no good. The mealy bug is q
white mealy or downy-looking insect,
that is troublesome to both house and
garden plants. The application Of fir
oil is fatal to this insect. A pint of
oil is mixed with five gallons of water
and sprayed upon the plant. The
little flies which are often seen hover
ing around pot plants are Matched
from white worms in the soil. Lime
water will kill these worms and thus
prevent further trouble from flies.
To prepare it take two tablespoonfuls
of unslacked lime and three quarts of
boiling water; when settled pour off
the clear liquid, and when cold
thoroughly moisten the soil. You can
rid your plants of lice by fumigating
them with tobacco or by showering
with tobacco tea. For the tea use a
tablespoonful of tobacco to quart of
water; steep and cool; spray the
plant. Pelargoniums are very apt to
get lousy.
Aphis, green fly, caterpillar, slugs and
rose bugs are all enemies of the rose.
The rose bug is easily exterminated,
owing to its sensltiveness to heat.
Water warmed to the temperature of
122 degrees will kill this annoying
pest without in the least injuring the
foliage of the roses. For mildew dust
with sulphur, also dig little SCOT
into the soil. The loss of old wood in
rose pruning rids the plant of its fun
gus and insect enemies by destroying
many of their spores and eggs.
