II is estimated that the scales do an
enormous damage to the trees and
crops of this country. and while the
San Jose scale seems TO attract some
attention 1t is not by any means the
only injurious insect of this class.
There are probably a dozen very ac-
i've and perDicious scales found in the
orchards Of this country. All OF them
do more or less damage. and the ques-
Ten of destroying them is annually be
coming a more important one. The de
partment of agriculture has made spe-
cial inquiries and Investigations Into
the subject of checking their raYages,
aud since the German authorities made
such a disturbance about not admitting
our apples because Of the scales on
them the subject will assume even
more prominence the coming season.
Some interesting experiments have
been made to destroy the scales. and
we are likely 10 real some benefit from
them. Whale oil soap has been said
to destroy them, but 1t must be admit
ted now that this merely checks the
scales, and does not destroy them.
Moreover, 1t takes nearly enough whale
oil 10 check the scales as the crop of
fruit Is worth. In one orchard In Mary
land 1t ooh 5000 worth of whale oil

check.
The real remedy promised Is found
In hydrocyanic gas-a gas that Is SO

life, and not expensive. The method
of application is TO place tents or Gov

and then liberate the gas under them.

! CAPT. DOV6NER
Holds a Joint Discussion with the Demo-
cratic Candidate for Congress.

There was a joint discussion Of
the issues Of the campaign at
Chenille last Monday between
Congressman Dovener and his
opponent J.V. Blair. Whether
the Democratic candidate had
been advertised to deliver a
speech at the same hour and
place:that hadbeen announced for
two weeks for a meeting by Capt.
Dovener is not material, but as
both were advertised to speak on
court day, atprecisely the same
time and place, the fact resulted
naturally in the joint discussion,
which is a matterof interest. The
time was divided as follows:
Blair commenced with a speech
of one hour and twenty minutes /;
Dovener followed with one hour
and thirty minutes, and Blair
closed with twenty minutes. The
opening speech by Mr.. Blair was
pretty fair rhetorical effort
dealing in platitudes, glittering
generalities, and the generalogy
of the party. He ignored the
money question entirely, and left
the audience to guess at his atti-
tude on that issue. He plainly
showed that the Democratic party
was lost in afog, and was with
out sail or rudder. He utterly
failed to enthuse his Democratic
friends, and at he close of his
address you could have heard a
pin drop.
When Captain Dovener arose
there was straining of necks to
catch every word. The speech
was fresh, and to the point. he
spoke with a consciousness Of
one who hsd living, burning
questions to discuss. and he knew
how to handle them. He had an
audience that pleased him, the
major portion of it being com
posed of Democrats, consequent
ly he was in one of his happiest
moods, and his speech was con-
sidered by his friends as one Of
the best they had ever heard him
deliver. The tariff and all other
vital issues that come home to
the people Of that section were
discussed as only Captain Doven-
er can discuss them. He was
frequently Interrupted by ap.
plause, and tits the opinion that
his speech was a vote-maker.
Mr.. Blair's closing argument
was confined principally to the
mining interests, and to profuse
apologies for having permitted
himself to enter into a discussion
with such a speaker and slick
campaigner as Captain Dovener.
1t was easy tosee, without hav
ing to confess it, that the gentle
man from Dodd1 idge did not
know where lie was at.
