ENEMY OF TIE ASPARAGUS
HISTORY OF A PEST THAT is
APT TO DO DAM
AGE
PREvENTIVES AND REMEDIES
May and June the Months for OBJ
serving the Beds and Fight
ing the Little Enc
mics.

The month of May is the time to be
on the lookout for the asparagus miner
which was not generally known until
the fall of 1896, but since that time the
pest has become more numerous, and If
the growers of the asparagus do not take
the matter under consideration the gov
ing of this valuable crop may become
more difficult The New York expert
ment station has given the pest careful
investigation. Pref F. A. Shrine, In
bulletin 1885, making known the results
of his work in the efforts to assist grow
ers with a more thorough knowledge
of the habits of this enemy. During
the past year the adult fly was reared
from some of the old infested stall
collected early in May. The adult flies
issued in confinement on May 80 and were
found in the field June g. On June 10
pupara and maggots were found beneath
the epidermis of that seasons growth,
no adult flies being then found, but was
taken again on August g.. only occasional
specimens being then seen until the as
paragus was killed by the frost. The
adult flies can usually be found around
the flowers, but are generally found con-
gregated around wounds made by the
asparagus beetle, apparently feeding up
on the juices eXuding from these wounds.
The place and method of depositing the
eggs have not been determined, but fire.
quently the mine made by a maggot
started beneath leaf scale, and gener-
ally near the surface of the ground,
thus indicating that the eggs are some
times deposited under or near the leaf
scales. In some cases mines were found
which started nearly foot above the
ground, but generally the majority start
ed at or near the surface of the ground
and extended downward below the sur
face of the ground for distances varying
from three to four inches.

Mistaken For shaft..

A story is told of pair of feet that
must have been objects of great regard
in their day.
One day a party Of men, including
Jackson, the man of big feet, were
preparing to attend a political meeting.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no way of conveying Jackson, as all
the vehicles were full.
LET me ride that horse over there?"
asked Jackson.
"There isn't man in the world that
can ride that animal. He'll work to a
cart or plow, but no one can stay on
his back"
"I'li try him, anyway" And the deter
mined man instructed several men to
catch and hold the horse.
The animal plunged and kicked, but
finally Jackson secured a seat in the
saddle.
Every one expected to see him dash
ed to the ground, but the horse looked
round, saw the mans feet and walked
peacefully away. He thought he was
between a pair of shafts.-London

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free.

A boatman in the north Of England

ever studied geology"
Boatman-No, sor; Aa hevn't.
CIergyman-Well. my friend, that's
mart of a life lost, but you will proba-
bly know little theology?
Boatman turning quite irritable
No: Aa knaw nowt aboot that either.
C,lereyman-Well, that's another part
of a life lost, my man.
Z Nothing more was said, as the water
was turning very boisterous and they
were in great danger, when suddenly
the boat gave Iurch and was cap
sized.
THE boatman, being an expert SWIM
mer. took the situation quite coolly,
while his companion, who knew moth
ing of the art of swimming, was strug-
cling for life The boatman. who was
making good progress toward terra
firma. accosted the clergyman with the
following:
aAa saw. mister, do ye know onny-
thing aboot 'swimologys

Then Mr.. McIaurin TOOK up the subsidy
proposition and argued it at length. Today
be dealt with It from local standpoint. He
argued that Greenville had grown to be the
great city that 1t was through subsidy to rail-
roads. cotton mills, opera house, etc., and SO
it was In Gaffney and many other places. He
gave figures TO show what money had been
voted TO railroads and what they had done,
and argued that the ship subsidy was along
the same line. The fact OF the matter ts the
people can't get along without subsidies II
urged his right to his views and that there
was no sense or reason In constantly stirring
up prejudice and feeling. IN 1t did no one any
good. He went over the situation and was
applauded in concluding.
Senator Tillman asked for five minutes
more which was granted him with tue con,
sent OF McLaurin. Tillman said he wanted
to reply to the charge that he had been brutal
to McLaurin and he read in full the letters be
tween himself and Mr.. Otis about his coming
here. He was no brute and did not want TO
be regarded as one. We will soon be before
the people and there discuss issues further.
Here he again proposed to McLaurin that
they both resign which was accepted. He
produced the volume In which McLaurin's
and would prove that McLaurin stole parts Of
that sermon. He had the positive proof and
wanted 10 show 1t to any one who wanted to
see 1t, he said. Then he said as to the impe.
rial policy he did not want the American
flag floating over and protecting lot OF yell

This closed the speaking and Senator Nc
