bark, which sometimes has a fattened
and dried appearance. ENuding sap
and the presence of sawdust-like cast
ings give the clew to their where
abouts. Whenever such indications
are seen, the insects should be dug out
with a knife or other sharp-pointedin in
strument. Those which have bored
deeply into the wood may be reached
by a sharp, stiff wire thrust into the
hole. They can also be destroyed by
cutting away the bark at the upper
end of the chamber INC pouring scald-
ing water into the opening so that it
will soak through the castings.
Among the preventive remedies, al
kaline washes or solutions are prob
ably the most useful. Soft soap made
to the consistency of thick paint by
the addition of a strong solution of
washing soda in water, is a good for
mula for application. 1t should be
painted over the bark, especially about
the base of the trees and upward to the
main branches. If applied during the
morning of a warm day, it will dry in
a few hours, forming a tenacious coat
ing, not easily dissolved by rain.
Whale oil soap can be substituted for
the soft soap if desirable. A small
quantity of gas tar added to the So
luton will also assist in repelling the
insect and will not injure the tree

the round-headed borer. Both are

Keeping the Cow, CIe,p

The cleaning of COWS by using the
brush and currycomb on them, as
we'll as giving them a scrubbing and
rinsing with a sprayer, may appear as
a waste of labor to those who have
never tried the plan, but if COWS were
so treated the result would be more

be more comfortable. 1t is more inn

No one who reads the newspapers of
the South can fail to note a most de-
cided change in tone of the editorial
expressions now as compared with the
same four years ago At that time the
Southern newspapers were gloomy and
seemed to think that the country was
going to the dogs because the gold
standard had not been overthrown and
the free coinage of silver inaugurated.
1t was cry of calamity from Maryland
to Texas.
But to-day the southern newspapers
are talking prosperity and their local
columns are teeming with announce
ments of sid industries working night
and day to keep up their orders and
new industries starting up.

THROUGH SENATE
Railroad Bill Passes in Commit
tee OF Whole.

The railroad bill came up in the senate
in the committee of the whole this
morning. The section allowing the rail-
roads a day in court was introduced and
adopted.
Senator Householder wanted a bill to
include electric lines as he says the cleo
tric roads in his county are doing vir-
tually the same business as steam roads.
The amendment was voted down.
Senator Allen objected to the section
providing that passengers who got on
trains without tickets should pay ten
cents extra and that the conductors
should issue cash fare slip for all fares
paid on the train, the slip to be redeera-
ed by the station agent at the destination
He said that it was a slap at the hon .
esty of the conductors
Senator Householder also objected on
the same grounds. He said that at ore
time the state passed a similar law which
was passed several years ago and which
proved so unpopular that it was unani-
Tnously repealed at the next session.
Senator Mcmillan objected because he
said some one might get on the train
with the exact fare and could not ride
owing to the extra ten cents. The matter
has been thoroughly discussed in the
caucus and although strongly opposed

ed.
Senator Mcmillan offered an amend
ment doing away with the issue of pass
es. I offer this amendment, he said
because fear the committee and eau

receiving Of passes was the same as ask
ing and receiving money. Senator Allen
interrupted and asked if Senator Nc
MILAN was not now carrying a pass
No, sir replied Senator Mcmillan, I
haven't ridden on a pass since was
elected senator and more than that I
have neither asked nor received a pass
for my family or friends He made u
long speech on the evils of the pass sys-
tenn, but the senators did not agree with
him and the amendment was lost.
The only change made in the bill as
before printed was the allowing the rail-
roads day in court.
Senator Wright's amendment to elect
the railroad commissioners at the gem
eraf elections for term Of three years
was defeated without any debate.
