Treatment for Cabbage Root Maggots.


IN 1880 A. j. Cook began to expert
ment with carbon bisulphide as a rem
edy for the root maggots of cabbages.
His success was such that he soon be-
gan to recommend it for general USE
Whether 1t succeeds or not depends
very largely on the character OF the
soil. Sometimes the remedy is ap-
piled too late to be of much, If any,
use. A man must know how to ap-
ply the chemical. The point is not to
get the liquid on the plant, but only
the gas arising from the liquid. This
gas is produced in great quantities, as
the liquid volatizes rapidly. No
amount of this vapor will harm the
roots of the plant, at least no amount
that is likely to work its way through
the soil. This gas is deadly to the
maggots. In some cases reports OF
failures have come due to the remedy
being applied only after the plants
have become badly wilted on account
of the attacks Of these insects. In
such cases the death Of the plants is
due to the maggots and not to the BIZ
sulphide as some may suppose. Mr..
NJ. v. Slingerland of the Cornell Elk
pertinent station investigated the sub
ject in 1894 and his experiments dem
onstrated that when properly applied
the substance was sure death to the in
sects and did not injure the plants.

Spoiled the Sale.

81 had moved heaven and earth to
get rid of that old skate" said the man
who loves to trade horses "Of course,
he wasn't worth what l could get for
him. but he was certainly worth dol
lar and twenty-five cents, because l
had agreed to throw in the headstall,
which was a new one. l never had a
horse yet that wasn't able to SELL and
the only thing that worried me in this
case was that l might wake up some
morning and find the trute dead from
old age.
Il ran across a man at last who was
looking for horse, and ! talked him to
a standstill before ! showed him the
living illustration of the fact that there
is nothing in the story that a horse
never lived over twenty years.
When l had my man in a trance
led the horse out and was gazing at
him in silent admiration when my wife,
who was an interested spectator, ex-
claimed:
do you know! That is the fun
NEST horse! Why, he can't eat hay!
1T is needless to say that I did not
make the SALE"

Our Exports of Cheese Small.

The quantity of cheese exported from
the United States in 1901 showed a de-
crease, as compared with like exports
in 1870, of over 80 per cent; the guam

and 1899, than at any like period in

SuZon TREMENDOUSLY.
Stand aside in the name of the ma

pushing past her.
The huddied crowd ftocked in, star
ing stupidity around them. Then, as
their wonder lessened, they were ready
for pillage. One man flung a mirror
to the floor, his friends applauding as
it shivered into thousand fragments.
That was the signal. Some prodded
the chairs with their pixies, others
laughing boisterously, pulled down the
tapestry and wrapped themselves in
trailing nantes. The women had
their arms full of spoil. Old Margot
silently passed from group to group;
at her approach boasting and wrang-
ling ceased.

in some degree cooled.

women; shes talking to something

moonlight, advanced to meet them.
The child had stolen away from the
sobbing women, and had come to de-
fend his home, perhaps-his heart beat
fast-perhaps to die.
There was a moments silence. Then,
as their fright wore away, the Marie, a
kindly man, spoke:

A laugh arose, a sign that the tide
of feeling had turned.
"Who lives here?" continued the
Marie.
"Tante Amelie and Suzon. am

Jean Walther turned to the man
from Strasbourg.

said.
Then Margot the witch, coming for

Wisconsin horticultural Convention.

Wisconsin horticultural Convention.
The annual meeting of the Wiscon-
sin State Horticultural Society was
held at Madison February 8 to 6. The
meeting was well attended and much
enthusiasm was manifest. The fruit
show was good, though not large.
Some of the apples that are primarily
Wisconsin apples were in prime shape,
and the whole exhibit was a credit to
the society, especially as this year has
been a short apple crop year in Wis
consin.
Many of the papers read were ex-
cellent, and the program was well car
ried out. Among the speakers from
out of the state was Professor Web
ster Of Ohio. He read a paper on
spraying, which he considers necessary
for good results in fruit growing. Be-
ing asked as to the best spray pumps
on the market, he said that there were
no poor ones, as the manufacturers
had found out that it was impossible
to sell anything that was not effective
when in use. He, however, believes
that there is as yet no ideal spraying
pump made, and that it may be some
time before such pump appears.
G. e. Bassett, secretary of the Mich
igan State Horticultural Society, Gre
ated a good deal of enthusiasm by his
address on cooperation in fruit sell
ing. He related the history of the as
ISOLATION of which he is a member, and
said that 1t had been a powerful fac
tor in improving the conditions under
which their fruit is sold.
Prof. ]. G. Blair OF the University OF
Illinois was present with models and
charts of the university cold storage
house located at Neoga, III. His mod
els showed the manner of insulation
and construction. In the case of the
cold storage house at Neoga the insu-
lation is so perfect that the tempera-
ture is kept uniform all the time, ire
spective of what the temperature out
side may be. Immense possibilities are
thus opened up In the storage of fruit
for winter use.

Destiny of the Hog Skin.

The oily, greasy, thick pig skin is
arousing new interest. Heretofore the
slaughter-house has not seriously
bothered itself about skinning the hog
while his green hide, left on the car
cass and unencumbered with expense,
brought 8 cents per pound and more
as pork, or IL cents per pound when
weighed in as cured ham or smoked
bacon The scientist will not let
things alone, however, and it may yet
pay to strip the hide from the hog for
commercial purposes. The leather
splitter has demonstrated his ability
to shave hides almost into tissue
leather. With this implement at his
command and a new process in his
possession, an American inventor
claims that he can split pig skin to
the fineness of a cologne bottle stop
per cover and manufacture that arti-
Gle at ridiculously low price. He
can make the finest of imported" kid
glove stock, can displace oiled paper
with a better and a cheaper article,
and do the same with the fine tex
ture of rubbered goods now used for
waist shields. A hog hide can be
treated so finely and split into SO
many separate skins as to astound the
uninitiated. With this prospect be-
fore it, the hog skin has a right to
come off and to expect much in the
near future.-National Provisioner.

PREACHER SCORES
SCHLEY VERDICT.
Rev. DR.. Easton Does Not
Spare the President.
PRAISE FOR ADMIRAL DEWEY.

The great body of the American patri-
OTIS will never accept as final the verdict
of the schley Court of Enquiry" said the
Rev. DR.. Thomas c. Easton, at the East
ern Presbyterian Church, corner OF Sixth
and Streets northeast, at the morning
service yesterday.
There were two men of biased judg
ment" continued the speaker. and the
third, the hero of Manila Bay. dared to
of approval His judgment was of more
value than the whole naval clique, with
the Secretary of War included.
.schiey True Victor,
Now it goes to the President of the
United States although there is not much
to be hoped from man who could treat
Niles and Dewey as he is reported by the
press to have done. Because it is the
highest verdict to be rendered and not
the lowest, will the question be settled
but settled only for a minority, for the
great heart of the American nation will
forever regard Winfield Scott Schley as
the true victor of Santiago, and not the
other, who was twenty miles away during
the heat of the battle"
The subject of DR.. Easton's sermon was,
THE hands Of God are better than the
hands of man" He brought the Schey
controversy in to illustrate the doctrine
that as sinners before God and toward
each other, our highest hopes and secur-
est refuge are not TO be found in the in
complete mercy of man, but in che inf
rite grace. compassion, and love, founded
upon the righteousness of God.

AUTHENTICITY OF THE BIBLE
An Argument Against Ii Before the
Secular League.

''How Christianity Began" was the sub
feet of lecture by Gen William Birney
given yesterday afternoon at the weekly
meeting of the Secular League in its
rooms, 516 Ninth Street northwest.
The purpose of General Birney's re-
marks was TO disprove the whole
authenticity of the Bible. The theories
which he advanced were based largely
upon the premise hat because he could
find nothing mentioned in history con-
firming some of the statements in the
Bible those statements and many
others contained in the sacred book are
absolutely false.
The speaker claimed that the majority
Of the books which compose the New
Testament were written good many
years after the death of the mythical
individual called Christ" and that the
writer's had relied for their Information
to a great extent upon almost extinct
fables and almost forgotten prophecies.
The myths. he said, were produced in
great numbers at time when the Ro-
mans and other people were hungry Tor
just that class of literature. These tales
depended almost entirely upon the most
improbable miracles for their popularity,
and agreed or disagreed as their authors
saw fit. About lt5 A. y. an intelligent
Greek named MGrcian collected all these
myths and from them compiled and edited
a book which was the forerunner oil the
Bible of the present day.

IDEAL TREATMENT OF ENEMIES
Rev. +. w. MOOts Sermon at St.
Paufs Lutheran.

Rev F. w. Moot, at the morning sarv-
ice yesterday at st. Paul's Lutheran
Church. preached a sermon on THE Ideal
Treatment of Enemies" which was based
on the text from Matthew. WA, But l
say unto you, love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them that
hate you, and pray for them which de-
spitefuIly use you and persecute you"
In developing this text, Mr.. Moot said
Jesus Christ was an idealist. He con-
ceived nothing TOO lofty and sublime to
which man in his character building
should not strive. The ancient Jew, the
speaker said, demanded the return of
that which was taken: an eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth. Christ came
and taught us TO love our neighbor," he
continued.
.Our civil law endeavors TO make the
punishment commensurate with the crime.
We may disapprove of an act but that
is no reason why we should hate the per-
son committing it. So it is we can love
our enemies with a love of benevolence
TO the extent that we will not injure
them, although We disapprove what they
do Jesus Christ disaDproved what many
did, but he did not hate any,"
The Washington times., 1902-01-27

praise Commander Booth Tucker took
for the subject of his address the eighty
fifth psalm OF King David. He referred
TO the sparrow mentioned in the psalm a.
a ground or earth bird, because 1t never
flew higher than il was obliged to, while
the swallow. TO which reference is made
by the psaImist in the same verse, he
referred to as y sky or heaven bird, as ii
never flies any lower than it is obliged
to. He then drew a parallel between tie
worldly Christian and the sparrow. and
between the God fearing Christian and
the swallow.
Noah as n Great Shipbuiider.
His text at the evening service Is TO
be found in Genesis, vi:12-17, which treats
of Noah and the deluge. The speaker drew
an imaginary picture of Noah as a great
city of Hiddekel, and how an angel bad
come to him and instructed him to build
a great ship, $50 feet long. 70 feet wide
and a. feet deep, such a vessel as could
not possibly be navigated on the river
Euphrates.
The speaker further ina gined Noah ap-
pearing before the city council and tell
ing of the nature of the angels vista
ton and trying to secure the contract
for building the great ship. Ana now the
council laughed at the recital, and told
Noah he had never seen an angel, and
that no deluge was coming. but that If
one did come they would build houses on
the mountain tcn.
Consequence of Delay.
In this imaginary vein he then depicted
how the wife of the judge of the town
had called on Mrs. Noah and tried to get
her to institute proceedings of lunacy
against her husband. And how Noah, af-
ter dividing his inheritance with his wife
