no lungs, but h ave eleven poors on
each side through which they get
air. They have little control over
these poors and 80 can be poisoned
by spraying. The leaf-eating bug,
as the potato bug, may be poisoned
by Paris green, but the leaf-sucking
insects, like the cabbage bug, must
be poisoned by spraying. Paris
green may be applied by mixing with
water or some powdered substance,
as lime or flour. One ounce of Paris
green with ten gallons of water is
the right proportion. To kill potato
bugs, mix with flour, one tablespoon
ful heaping, with two quarts of
flour, and shake over the plants early
i'll the morning. Two applications
one as soon as the beetle appears, the
other few days later--arc usually
sufficient.
There is no danger in using Paris
green on cabbage plants. 1t docs
not take up the poison. 1t kills the
cabbage worm, but not the bug. IN
sccts have their weaknesses like
everybody and everything else, and
we should take advantage of them.
The cabbage bug likes mustard, and
if you plant row of mustard along
side of cabbage the bugs will collect
on the mustard and may then be
burned by putting straw on the mus
tard and setting it on fire. Another
way is to scatter chips and leaves
along by the plants. At night the
bugs hide under these and may be
gathered up with the rubbish early
in the morning.
Clean cultivation will help to get
rid of the bud worm in corn.
To get rid Of scales kerosene
emulsion, made by taking half a
pound Of sliced bar soap and boiling
in gallon of water and, after boil
ing, adding two gallons of kerosene.
This is very good. Put one part OF
the emulsion to five of water before
applying.
DIR. Anderson answered many
questions fired at him by the listen

"Industrial Education" His speech
was gem, abounding in historical
illusions and economic statements in
literary form, and was delivered
earnestly and eloquently.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, August 10
Ever since cotton became the money
crop in South Carolina, the farmers
white and black-have wagcd an
inccssant and merciless warfare
against all manner Of grasses. OF
late years a reaction, favorable to
the healthy being of General Green"
has set in, and the up-to date agri-
culturalists of the Palmetto State,
awakening to the fact that we have
an ideal country for stock raising,
have in a great measure made friends
with their old enemy.
This fact was much in evidence
here Monday night, when the first
days visitors to the Farmers Insti-
tute, hung interestedly on the words
Of Prof. j. s. Newman in his infor-
NAL and instructive lecture on tie
subject of "Grasses," and illustrated
by sheaves of cured grasses and
grains, prominently displayed upon
the rostrum. AS he talked upon the
relative merits of Bermuda and
Texas blue grass, hairy vctch and
COW peas, he was frequently inter
rupted by interested questoncrs
whose practical knowledge of the
subject gratified Clcmson's agricul-
tural chief and showed conclusively
that intelligent inquiry and earnest
experiment will in time put our
State to the fore as n stock raising
section.
yesterday this incrcas of inter
est in stock.raising was evidenced
by the unanimity with which the
delegates and visitors accepted the
invitation extended to them by Prof.
G. M. Conner, in charge Of the de-
partmcnt of animal husbandry, and
visited and inspected the big barns
on the college farm. They admired
the mild-eycd Jerseys, the sleek
Dcvons and the big black and white
IIolstcins; they watched with eager
interest the milking of the herd, by
the white.aproncd, spotlcssly clean
dairy boys; examined the improved
