Dust Spray for Potatoes.

Experiments made by growers OF
both fruits and vegetables seem to in
dicate that the use of the insecticides
in q dGst form is preferable to using
them in the liquid state. This seems
to be especially true in wet seasons,
Vl.ile al any time the dust is prefer
q le for such pests as beetles on
both potatoes and cabbages. To pre-
pare the mixture take one pound OF
pure Paris green and thoroughly mix
it with four pounds of ordinary -four
sprinkling the mixture over the plants
when the dew is still on them Some
growers use lime dust in place of the
-four, bat the latter is more adhesive
and remains on the plants longer. 1t
will be seen that this mixture OF the
poison with the flour is to be pre-
3erred 70 the liquid application, last
ing much longer as it does. 1t may
Be used on cabbages without danger
OF poisoning humans until the vege-
table is half headed cut, after which
there Is little danger to be apprehend'
ea= from insect enemies.

TEXAS At THE WORLDS FAIR.
Not to be Represented Would be
a Step Backward.

The progressive element in Texas
is nearly unanimous in favor of the
bin now before the legislature call
ing for an appropriation of 5000, 900
for the purpose of having Texas
properly represented at the Worlds
Fair to be held in st. Louis.
Every important business organ
ization in the state has endorsed
the project, and the people generally
are in favor of 1t. Not to have
Texas represented at the great ex-
position would be step backward.
Such representation cannot be made
as 1t should unless the state makes
the appropriation desired.
Other Southern States with one
tenth the wealth of Texas, and with
resources insignificant in compari-
son with what this state has to ex-
plot and exhibit, have already made
appropriations.

INSTRUCTIONS TO JUDGES
Advised by Comptroller as TO
Certain Cases Under the
Pension Law.

Comptroller X. NJ. Love this week
sent out from Austin to the county
judges of every county in the state
"A letter regarding many applicants
for pensions under the Confederate
pension act, as the comptroller has
been advised of the fact that many
applicants are unable to make proof
Of service in the Confederate army
by witnesses residing in the county
where the applicant lives. In all
such cases the comptroller advises
the county as follows:
where an applicant for pension
under the Confederate pension law,
can not make the necessary proof of
service in the Confederate army by
witnesses within the county where
such applicant resides and in
which county the application is
pending this department holds that
the applicant may, by dispositions,
taken by virtue Of interrogatOrie
framed under the direction of the
county judges with whom the ap-
plication is filed, and with cross in
terrogatories by such county Judge
il he desires it, secure such teSti-
mOny from Witnesses who reside
without the county, of the residence
of the applicant, or without this
state. 1t is believed further, that
the testimony of witnesses residing
within the county of the applicants
residence may be secured by the
same mode of procedure, when for
any reason deemed good and sutfl-
cient by the county Judge, such a
course is deemed necessary by such
officer.
at is not believed, however, that
exparte affidavits would be com
pliance with or fulfillment of the
intention and meaning Of the law.
"In all eases where the proof of
service is secured by dispositions,
especial care should be exercised by
the county judges that interrOgato-
ries be so prepared that the answers
thereto will establish clearly the
identity of the applicant.
1.-The blanks required for the
above purpose will be furnished by
this department upon application. -

POULTRY.

A gentleman with a large expe-
rience in poultry raising wisely
says: THE dunghill served it's day
and generation very well; but profit
in poultry now is possible only with
well-bred fowls" First determine
which branch of the business suits
you best, poultry for the market or
eggs. If you want eggs and eggs
only then select LeghOrns or some
one of the Spanish breeds. Ham
burgs are good layers, but are small.
There are six varieties of LeRhorns
and Hamburgs, differing very little
from each other, il any, only in plu-
mage and comb. There are also Hou-
dams, Black Spanish, La Fleche and
Polish, all good layers and non
settlers. Just here a word of eau
ton: Remember that poultry like
everything else to do well must
have attention. Don't buy "A few
fine chickens or eggs and turn
them loose on the farm and expect
great things Of them without giving
them some good common house
attention. Proper shelter and
proper feed are essential even in
this mild climate. Don't try to
raise too many breeds unless you
are well prepared for 1t and expect
to give them good close attention.
Don't cross the breeds. Get the
breed that suits you and stick to it.
If you want chicks for spring
Wyandottes. The chicks are hardy,
feather up nicely and make nice
broilers when eight to twelve weeks
old. Plymouth Rocks are deserved
" popular, especially with farmers
are good layers all the year, good
sitters, good mothers, are good for
fail or winter market; in fact, are
the best all-purpose fowls we have.
The Wyandottes are rapidly coming
into public favor and are of superior
merit. The different varieties of
game breeds are hardy, active,
good foragers, good layers, good
sitters, excellent mothers and are
splendid table fowls, but their war
like qualities make them unsuitable
for extensive production.
Mr.. French, a representative of
the Fort Worth Packery, informs
me that they will soon be prepared
to handle all the poultry and eggs
that Texas may have TO sell, and
that good prices will be paid tor
same. He says that we will never
any more see eggs selling at the
discouragingly low price of the past.
There are hundreds, yes, thous-
ands of large poultry plants in the
Northern and Western States, some
of which are employing quite
number OF men to run them, and
they, of course, are making good
money out OF the business. Why
not have few In Texas?
/ have agreed with Prof. j. II.
Connelf to be with him In as many
Farmers Institutes as possible and
talk poultry. We must stir up a
little more enthusiasm on poultry
raising In Texas. Brother, sister,
help Us.

Burlington's New PostoNicc.

The people of Burlington will be pleased
to learn that Congressman u. j. Foster
has succeeded in securing the incorpora-
ton in the public building bill of his bill
providing for an increase of no less than
5000 in the appropriation for Burling-
toms new postofice. The omnibus pub
lie building bill carrying approximately
Sc o0d no has been introduced in the House
by Congressman Mercer, chairman Of the
House committee on public buildings and
grounds, and it is announced that the
measure will be reported from the full
committee, with every prospect of pass
ing in the near future.
Mr.. Fosters bill provides for a tenn
porary building to be erected on the lot
at the south of the court house to he
used as a temporary postfiice. while the
new structure is in process of erection,
to cost $1,000; and the treasury depart
ment is authorized to sell the present
federal building 70 tho best advantage,
and when the new postofIice is complete,
TO dispose Of the temporary building to-
gcther with a lot having a frontage Of
50 feet on Church street
The 100000 appropriated for our new
postotilce will make it possible to
use the best product Of Vcrmont's quar-
lies for the walls instead of some cheaper
building material and to make the struc-
ture one which will DC IL source of pride
to al Nermouters as well as TO the citi-
zurs of Burlington.
Congressman Foster has worked dligent.
Us 70 bring about this result having in
mind a more pretentous and creditabe
structure than the original appropriation
would have made possible lie is entitled
to the thanks of the people ot Burling-
ton for this excellent service in their be-
half, and if the sum named is secured
the elegant structure thus made pos
sibe will be an enduring monument tc
his untiring zeal and industry.

in the entire State might have been de
feated by the failure of few town clerks
IN larger towns to mako returns to the
county clerks within the period named by
the referendum law itself.
We take no stock in the suggestion by
somc Of the exchanges that there was a
colored gentleman secrcted In these
clerks coal bins, FOR they are honest men
and above suspicion among those who
know them. In one instance the returns
were sent direct to the secretary of state
instead OF the county clork, and there is
every reason to believe that their negli
gence was the result of msconception of
the law or lack of knowledge Of its pro-
visions
No harm has como from their failure
to act in the present instance, bat tho OK
ample serves to show how important II Is
that public servants be thoroughly posted
with reference to their duties particularly
in connection with elections.

The announcement of Secretary of State
Fleetwood that in canVassing the returns
of the referendum vote he could
count only the votes that have been GER
tilted to him by the county clerks means
that the voters Of those towns whose
clerks neglected to send the result Of the
vote to the county clerk within the time
prescribed by law, were practically dis
franchised so far as their voice with re.
ference to the choice between prohibition
and local option and high license was con-
Ccrned. This may seem to be rank in
justice, but the secretary of state plain
~ has no other alternative as a moment s
reflection will serve TO show, The ndivd-
ual voter is required to cast his ballot
on election day during certain hours and
though he goes to the polls only min
ute after the ballot box has been declared
closed he cannot vote 1t is also necessary
TO prescribe the period in which returns
may he sent to the county clerk and in
turn to the secretary OF state to be count
ed. and votes not sent within that tmo
cannot be counted any more than the
vote OF the single individual can be
counted after the prescribed period for
voting has ended,
Fortunately the result OF the contest
over the referendum in the State as Il
whole will not be changed by the derelic-
ton OF the town clerks concerned. Cot
chester went for local option by large
majority while Charlotte ana WostGo.d
gave substantial mo" majorit!es, the net

THE FERNANDO PO BOOBIES.

Lieutenant Boyd-Alexander, who has re-
turned from the island of Fernando Po,
IN the Blight OF Biafra, Western Africa,
gives an interesting description of the
inhabitants OF the previously UNEMPLOYED
interior Of the island. These are known
as Boobies" They never leave their pri-
mitive dwellings in the rocks except on
organized drinking bouts and the race is
fast dying out from the effects Of rum and
palm wine. The natives arc mostly quite
naked, except for a curious straw bonnet
They paint their bodies with Colored mud
are unspeakably filthy. for they never
wash, but occasionally use a knife to
scrape off the surface dirt and create arti-
fetal deformties by tightly enwrapping
their limbs. The Fernando Po natives are
exceedingly tmid. and when sighted by
tho whites bolt into the depths of the jun
gl", where they set up fearsome walls. AT
certain hours each day the villages are
quite deserted. every one, including the
children, going off on n ClrouSe.
These citizens of Fernando pO evidently
prefer TO be fun rather than to he sober.

No intelligent reader Of this paper is in
doubt in regard to its position in regard
to the new license-local option law. Be
Ing the law II should he obeycd, respected
aud faithfully executed 1t should have
Il fair trial and be allowed to accom-
uliSh the most good that is possible to
come from 1t. The license men claim the
right and acknowledge the duty of see
ing that it is thoroughly enforced; and
that right cannot be denied to them
They should have the encouragement and
assistance OF all good citizens in such
enforcement. The operation of the law
will be closely watched. If the conditions
as regards the liquor traffic are improved
by it, We shall he glad. If it promotes
good order: decreases intemperance, paul
rerism and crime; eevates the moral
tone OF the community; increases the
peace and quiet of homes; induces mon to
save for the comfort and welfare Of their
families the wages which they have hith-
crto spent in strong drink; if courts and
officers of the law do their duty moro
faithfully; if the liquor traffic becomes
so changed in Vermont that, as the head
centre of the license movement predicts

II such results as these are secured all
GOOD citizens will rejoice that he new law
has taken the place Of tho moro rigidly
restrictive system hitherto in force. The
Improvement will need TO be actual not
ilusory, or assumed. The new law will
he judged by its fruits. If the results
are good, well. We care for good results
more than for methods.
