REMEDY FOR COTTON PEST.

The recent experiments with petroleum
for the destruction of the cotton worm
upon an area of land near Aboukir
have caused the ministry of the interior
10 investigate the subject and several
experts have been appointed for this
that two or three aspersons of the land
with petroleum at the early stages of
the cotton growth suffice to externin-
ate the pest completely
The. petroleum is applied in small
quantities in conjunction with irriga-
ton Tdterings, and Immediately subse-
quent to item. a film is formed upon
the surface of the soil. which is said to
enectually deter the female moth from
alighting thereon. and, should there be
larvae already. these are instantly de-
leum. II its effect is so decisive as is
claimed for it. the simplicity, slight cost.
and the perfect harmiessness of petro-

more elaborate remedies on cotton plan

UNUSUAL GROWTH
IN REAL ESTATE
Twelve Millions Spent in
Building During Year.
EXCEEDS RECORDS OF 1904
Building Activity Due to Increase Of
Population, Notable in Past
Few Years
EXCEEDS RECORDS OF 1904

Unusual growth has marked the real
estate business of Washington during
the last year. and local dealers and
owners are enthusiastic in consequence
1t is estimated that over S12 900 coo was
spent in building in the District of CO.
lumbia for the fiscal year just ended.
This Is nearly twice as much as was
spent for the same purpose last year,
exclusive Of the Union Station
This growth is believed to be due to
the natural increase in the population
OF Washington, which mas been so no.
ticeable during the past few years.
Every winter brings larger and larger
crowd Of persons, who come with Con-
gress to spend the winter at the Capital.
The majority Of these transients are
persons Of means, who expect to pay
good rent for the quarters they occupy.
This makes handsome apartment houses
and dwelling houses pay as an invest
n,ent.
Then, too, the city is growing nat
urally, irrespective OF the floating popu-
1ation, and, in the opinion of keen OBJ
servers. there is no cause for alarm in
the large number Of applications for
building permits which were filed last
year.
Table Shows Development.
The following table shows the de-
yelopment of the real estate field mar
kat in Washington during the past
decade.

a general store. 1t included mattresses,
spring beds, camp chairs, and, in fact.
nearly everything but automobiles and
Haviland china
In order to carry all the material she
enumerated a complete caravan OF
camels would have been necessary. The
book probably did more harm than good
At any rate, its advice could not have
been followed without bringing grief to
the camper
The dishes should be of the simplest
kind and few in number. The eatableS
should also be simple in character
plenty of ham and bacon, a good supply
OF canned goods, preserves. etc, and a
supply OF crackers or hardtack TO be
eaten between meals, or when no
fresh bread or biscuits can be had.
Pancake Flour a Necessity.
Pancake flour Is vital necessity, as
''fapjacks" form one of the staples OF
camp fare. Chocolate is by far the best
beverage for camp. Too much coffee
or tea. when taken at a high altitude,
will prove harmful to the nervous sys-
teui- Chocolate is easily prepared and
Its nutritious qualities mean much TO
the person who is on the trail.
A few cakes OF sweet chocolate will
be found excellent TO carry in ones
pocket to nibble on in case of a delayed
meal Appetites grow fierce in the
Rocky mountains and sometimes it Is
a long pull between camping places.
AS to the costume, there is moth
ing to equal the divided skirt for wear
in the mountains. It is absolutely nee
essary to ride astride when following
rough mountain trail. and the woman
who tries to make a trip in a conven-
.lonal riding habit will soon succumb
TO exhaustion. Then, too, the divided
skirt allows the greatest freedom in
climbing about camp.
Add TO this equipment broad felt
hat. a pair of high, heavy-soIed boots
and pair OF gauntlets to protect the
hands from the fierce rays OF the sur
and the equipment is al that can be
desired. II a woman is used TO handling
firearms rife can be strapped to the
side of her saddle or on the camn
wagon, If a wagon is caken instead OF
pack horses
In deer season there is plenty of good
shootlng and many a fine deer or elk
has been brought down by the Dianas
Of the chase.
