THE STRIPED CUCUMBER BEE.
TIE.

All who grow cucumbCrS are more
or less familiar with this insect.
While present to some extent nearly
everywhere, in some seasons it is more
numerous than usual. As soon as the
plants arc above ground the beetles
attack the leaves and in u few days
but little is left of the plants. The
beetle always attacks the plants on
the highest ground first, so that many
times the plants or the top of a hill
are destroyed while those on lower
ground are lie TT unframed.
PREVENTIVE.
There is no remedy for this insect
that Is applicable on a large scale.
A good preventive, however, consists
in placing tobacco dust around the
plants and this will keep the beetles
away. The tobacco dust can be OBJ
tanned through a druggist at very
little cost other than the freight, and
a bay of it should be kept on hand on
every farm at all times, as it is useful
for many purposes, especially for kill
ing lice on domestic animals. The
tobacco dust should be placed around
the cucumber plants just as soon as
they are up, beginning on the high
places first and then after a few days,
il the beetles are attacking the plants
on the lower places, the tobacco
should be placed around them also.
SENDING INSECTS.

DUCKS IN TIE SOUTH.


Farm and Ranch.
There is money in ducks, and 1t
comes from these three sources: Their
eggs. their feathers and the final sale
OF the ducks themselves. Feathers
range in price from 80 to 60 cents a
pound, and u good-siZed flock OF Pckin
ducks will yield several pounds OF
feathers a picking, and when they have
access to plenty Of water they can be
picked three times Il year, for their
feathers grow faster and heavier
when they are in the water most of
the time.
The Pckin duck is a good layer. and
she lays d fine, big, pinkish white
egg. Watch her of Il morning, keep
her up until 9 or 10 O'Clock, or until
after she lays, or else she may lay in
the water, as they are not very par
ticular where they lay. The Pekin
begins laying by February lst and
lays until about June, when they quit
till the next season.
In size they are large, frequently
weighing eight or ten pounds, but the
average weight is less than that-in
fact, five pounds is a fair weight for a
Pckin duck and six and a half for II
drake. We are aware that the stand
ard weight, according to the Amcri-
can standard of perfection, is much
higher for exhibition ducks, but we
are also aware that Il duck, to attain
the standard weight, has to be fed and
fattened for two weeks or so like a
hog, hence we contend that the stand.
ard is entirely too high and should be
amended.
Young Pckin ducks make fine cat
ing as soon rs large enough, and they
are in good demand in the city mark.
cts all over the South at all seasons.
We advocate the raising of more
ducks in our Southland.

FREE SILVER AND WAGES.

The New York Herald thus puts it:
Under our existing system the gold
standard Is maintained for all our
dollars. The workingman who re-
ceivcS a silver dollar in payment Of
wages is able to buy as much with it
rs il it were q gold dollar. But il free
coinage were dccreed the gold stand.
ard would be at ono abandoned.
The silver dollar, worth 81 cents
would become the standard. The dol.
lar that now buys 100 cents worth Of
any commodity would only buy 81
cents worth. Do workingmen want
their wages reduced in purchasing
power in this way? Again, the farmer
wants ''mOre money" But free silver
coinage would reduce the monetary
circulation by about one-half, and in
stead OF getting more money than the
s., 900, 000. 900 now in circulation we
should nave only ABOUT Sl,OVU,ooV,oo o
all told. Does the farmer demand a
contraction Of this sort, with a wheat
and cotton price to match? All our
money buys 100 cents worth to the
dollar because the gold standard Is
maintained. All our dollars circulate
because each Of them is exchangeable
for a gold dollar. With free silver
coinage we should lose from circula'
tion every dollar thu is worth lC'
cents, and one-half Of all our clrcula'
ton would disappear. Are the work
ingmcn and farmers ready to lnvite
this reduction In wages and this Imam
cial calamity.
