The Proposed Gold Mckinley for the
Paris Fair.

IL would be interesting to know the
names of the western millionaires who
are to provide the capital for the solid
gold statue of William Mckinley that is
10 be exhibited at the Paris worlds fair
in 1900. The report is that 81 $50. 900 of
gold is to be employed in making the
statue. which is TO be of heroic design
and seven feet tall. This is n foot and
an inch or two higher than the pres
ident, but in order for the statue to be
heroic, it must exaggerate the proper
tons Of the subject. Presumably the
sculptor or the molder or the goldsmith
or whatever variety of artist is to be in
trusted with the work will be instructed
10 bring out in bold relief those features
Of the Canton major which are supposed
TO give him a strong resemblance to
Napoleon. II this was neglected one OF
the chief charms of the statue would be
lacking. While we are about IL we must
show the Europeans that they have
not monopoly Of the Napoleon bust
ness.

reasonably expect to make good inter

In fact, looked at from any stand
point il will be impossible for them TO
lose q cent, unless somebody steals the
statue or their idol gets smashed in
the meantime. The s1,050.000 Of gold
put into the work will be worth as

thrifty patriots who have obtained his

But on this point they would better

Attention House wives.

Having established at this place
a new and improved Cotton Seed
Oil Mill and Refinery, we desire to
introduce in this district a pure
vegetable oil for cooking purposes.
This oil is made after the most APP
proved methods, both i'll manufac-
ture and refining, and is superior
to hog fats for shortening, or for
any cooking where lard is used.
1t is not susceptible to faint, such
as lard is subject to, being purely
vegetable, and we can commend
it to the citizens of Caddo parish
as one of the best fats for cooking
purposes that can possibly be
found. We shall sell it as "Caddo
Cooking Oil,' and we trust that it's
sale will meet with sufficient en-
enlargement for us to continue its
manufacture.
This oil can be used the same as
lard, excepting that it requires but
half the quantity to accomplish the
same result as other shortening,
and can be used for all purposes
for which lard is used. 1t is par
ticularly adapted for frying pur-
poses, and it is also an excellent
substitute for olive oil in making
salad dressings, and is altogether
pure and wholesome.

The Shot -Borer or Blight Beetle.

The station has recently received speci-
mems of this insect and accounts of dam
age wrought in young orchards in diner
ent parts of the State. The pest was
described by Professor Harvey. the
station static entomologist. in the report Tor
1888 PIP. 176 and III. The following
account of the life history and sugges-
ions for the treatment OF this beetle are
TAKEN from that report.
The eggs are very small. and are laid at
The base of the buds. The young larvae
bore into the wood making deep chan-
nels which in small twigs interfere with
the circulation Of the sap. and the twgs
Wther, giving the appearance OF blight.
hence the name pear-blight beetle
tfhe work of this beetle should not be
confounded with the pear-blight proper
which is caused by species of bacteria.p
when the larvae are fun grown they
transform to pupae in the burrows and
hnally emerge as small beetles about
one-tenth of an inch long and of Il dark
brown or nearly black color, with the
aantennae and legs of rusty red. The
thorax is short, very convex, rounded
and roughened. The wing covers are
marked by longitudinal rows Of pune
lures. The hind part of the body slopes
abruptly. The beetles leave their bur
rows in July and deposit eggs before
August
As these beetles work wholly under
Inc bark. they cannot be reached by in
secticdes. The only way is to watch the
Tees during the latter part of June and
sSny and if blighted twigs or diseased
sHnos are noticed. examine the branches
lor small pin holes: if found the pres
shce of this or some related species may
pe suspected. The diseased limb should
oe cut at once below the injury far enough
" 20 include all the burrows. and burned.
LOT the beetles will transform samerge and
asttack new trees. As these beetles live
IN forest trees. orchards. near timber
would be more likely to become infested.

At this crisis the fourth person pres
