The Cottony Cushion Scale.


SO far as known the Cottony cush-
ion scale has never been found in
Florida except at Clear Water Har-
Dor. Some five OF six years ago it
secured a Judgement in the nursery
stock of Duncan Bros, near Clear
Water, and was supposed to have been
completely ridded out by Prof. Rolls
at that time. However it is now eS-
tablished over an area of perhaps
something like twenty acres in and
about the city of Clear Water Harbor,
whether from a new importation from
California or from q survival of the
old Introduction already mentioned,
we have been unable to determine.
This insect is native of Australia
where it is rendered comparatively
harmless by the great numbers of it's
natural enemies. 1t was introduced
into California possibly as early as
1868, and after spreading with COM
paratiVe SlOWneSS for some six or
seven years it began to secure such q
foot-hOld as to alarm the California
fruit growers, and it was but a few
years more than five OF siX-frOm
the time that it was recognized as a
really dangerous pest, until many Of
the California orange growers were
abandoning their groves, and eX-
pressed themselves as being complete
ly discouraged at the outlook for or
ange culture in that State. Perhaps
tWO-thirds of the California orange in
terests had been destroyed before any
thing like an effectual check was
placed upon it's ravages. The various
insecticides and washes which are
commonly resorted to for fighting
scale insects were tried with very in
different success, and it was not until
an agent from the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture was sent to
it's native home in Australia to p'O-
cure specimens of it's natural enemies
that any really hopeful means for
fighting it were found. Mr.. Koebele,
the investigating agent in Australia,
among various parasites and predace>
Gus insects feeding upon it there,
found a species of lady-bug which he
sent to California, and in less than
two years it had brought the scale
within control While California has
never succeeded in entirely Kidding
herself of the scale, the lady-bug and
drastic laws together, have rendered
it's work comparatively harmless in
recent years. l fear the scale has al

California, and if the good people
about Clear Water HarbOr will eXer
else unceasing vigilance for two OF
three years to come we may at least
hope to hear Of it no more.
So far as known at present, the
scale is to be found upon the follow
ing premises: Upon rose bushes in
the yard of e. J. Armstrong, also upon
roses in the yard of Mrs. Pierce across
the road from the Verona Inn; in the
orange orchard of Mrs. Pierce; upon
roses Oh the property occupied by P
S. Dance; upon roses on the Gould
premises, and upon roses in the yarC
of NJ. V. Scranton; also along both
sides of the railway track south OF
the depot, extending perhaps about
One-eighth of a mile in great numbers
The underground of this latter dis
trict is literally alive with it.
Persons not knowing the insect anC
desiring to see specimens will fine
same in glass Walls in the office of the
West Hillsboro Press.
The woody coating of the female in
sect covers an egg sack containing
hundreds and sometimes more than 9
thousand of eggs which hatch in mid
summer in u few days, though in the
winter time the young may not issue
for some months. The larvae are able
to do without food fer a number OF
weeks, crawling about hunting some
suitable food plant, and they are able
10 sustain life upon almost any vege
tatiOn for long time, but only multi
ply rapidly upon such things as citrus
plants, Acacias, etc. The neWl!
Matched larvae settle upon the leave
and tender twigs, inserting their beak
and imbibe the sap. On passing int
older stages of development they set
tie upon the smaller tWigs. Only {
few are found upon the leaves an(
fewer yet upon the larger branches
and trunk. The adults, however, al
most invariably prefer the trunk an(
larger branches. The insect is rarely
found upon the fruit, but occasionalr!

A Slight Mistake.

From, the Medical Record.
This is an instance where a bad cold
caused startling conversation. A
modest young newspaper man was in
vited to party at residence where
the home had recently been blessed with
an addition to the family. Accompanied
by his best girl, he met his hostess at
the door, and after customary saluta-
tions asked after the baby. The lady
was suffering from severe cold, which
made her slightly deaf, and she mis-
takenly supposed that he was inquiring
about her cold. She replied, that,
though she usually had one every win
ter, this was the worst that she had
ever had; it kept her awake at night a
great deal at first and confined her to
her bed. Then, noticing that the scribe
was becoming pale and nervous, she
said that she could see by his looks that
he was going to have one just like hers,
and asked him if he wished to lie down.
The paper came out as usual the next
week, but the editor has given up in
quiring about babies.

Patent Medicines:
From the Sylvan Volley Neaos (Brerard, N. C)
It may be question whether the edi-
tor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Choler and Diarr-
hea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that if bottle of Chamberlain
Diarrhea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence Of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience dur
ing the past twenty years. For sale by

From an Exchange.
If you toot your little tooter and then
lay aside your horn there's not a soul in
ten short days will know that you were
born. The man who gathers pumpkins
is the man who plows all all day, and
the man who keeps humping is the
man who makes it pay. The man who
advertises with a short and sudden jerk
is the man who blames the printer be-
cause it didn't work. The agent who
gets the business has long and steady
pull and keeps the local paper for years
quite full. He plans his advertisements
in thoughtful honest way, and keeps
forever at it until he makes it pay. He
has faith in all the future, can with
stand a sudden shock, and like the man
of Scripture, has his business on rock.

william Crozier, son of Judge Crozier
Of LeavenWorth, carried off the highest
hOnOrs at the recent West Point COM
mencement exercises
Immediately after his graduation Gro
zier was sent west, and for three years
he took an active part in the campaigns
against the Sioux and BannOck Indians.
Then he went back to West Point and
for five years was the instructor in
mathematics there. In 1884 he entered
the ordnance department Of the army,
and four years later congress sent him
to Europe to investigate the machinery
in use for making coast defenses and
to make any purchases he saw fit. The
Importance of this mission can be seen
when 1t is remembered that the i'm
prOVement OF the coast defenseS Of the
United States depended entirely upon
CrOzier's judgment and report He was
given a captains commission in 1890.
Captain Crozier is also noted as an
author and an inventor. He was one
of the inventors of the famous disap-
pearing gun carriage which is now in
general use along the coast defenses,
and he also invented a Wire-Wrapped
10-inch rifle. He is the author of sew
eral text books on ordnance.
During the recent war Captain Crozier
served as inspector general of the vol
unteers, and when there was a peace
commission to be appointed to repre-
sent the United States at the cars
peace conference he was chosen as the
representative of the army on that
commission. No American, with the
possible exceptions of President White
and Captain Mahan, both men far older
inent in the conference than he. His
Kansas training in his early life has
had great deal to do with bringing
him to the front.
