oh. why can't a fellow write about

back, wiped its mouth and solemnly
reported thusly: There is discon-

the department for the colonies at
Berlin were investigating the arzolla

ing the introduction Of this plant IN
the German colonies in Africa in or
der to eradicate the mosquito pest.
He now submits further details about
this plant:
The director Of fisheries at Biebrich,
Mr.. hartmann, has, after experiments
covering a period of fourteen years,
found hat the most reliable means
against mosquitoes in sta gnant waters
is the growing OF the various kinds Of
the semitropical plant arzOlla. His
numerous and always successful ex-
periments induced the director of the
imperial colonial office to call him to
Berlin in the spring Of 1907, and the
colonial office ordered that the test
of his method should be made by the
Institute for Tropical Hygiene at Ham
burg, where Director hartmann had
the~Gse of the State Botanical Insti-
tute for p~ropagating the arZolla plants.

full of agnan waters and swampS,
infested with mosquitoes. While the
proximity of the sea and The abnOr-
mally cool temperature of the sum
mer of 1907 had an u~nfavOrable in
fluence upon the growth of the plant.
It, however, covered the experimental
waters in a short time, with a layer
of about 6 centimeters (2.3t2 inches),
which suffocated all the mosquito
larvae below and prevented the living
insects from depOSiting their eggs in
the water. The final official findings
will soon be announced. It is, how
ever, reported that a strictly scientific
and practical proof has been made in
the la boratOries. Director hartmann
several years ago communicated his
method to the observation-disclosures

tired general. On all subjects pertain
ing to agriculture, the Judge, who
owns man ''arpents of land" and can
get little of it titled to his notion, gives
the most sage and wholesome advice.
CLEANED from his own experience and
much reading in ancient lore. Ben
Franklin's almanac a favOrite astrolo-
ger or two, the London Times. and
SO many of the North Carolina SUI
preme court reports as were made up
before the war. But what we wish
to call attention to now is some of
the remarks of the Judge on the sub
ject of butter. Before Introducing these
we wish to say that Judge Bennett
conferred an everlasting benefit upon
his section by being the first to bring
pure bred Jersey cattle into Arson
county After speaking of the butter
qualities of the Jersey. he says:
The best butter made in Arson
county is equal to the best Fox. River
and New York churning. There is a
twang in the smell of these a little
off the nasal finish. I know brands
of butter sold in this town for It
quarter OF a dollar worth 10 cents a
pc nd in more friendly markets. Abra-
ham Hewitt had his Jersey cream en-
gagged at $500 q quart. Our butter,
the best should command high
prices
Laying aside the atura inquiry
as TO whether the 'twang" IN the Fox
River and New York butter that us
a little off the nasal finish" is to be
accounted a good or a bad thing in
them. it is to be remarked that Judge
Bennett has emphasized a truth that
many folks, in his and similar sections
might get hold of to advantage. That
is. to make the best butter, and then
take the trouble to find more friendly
markets. The same thing, is brought
out III the remarks Of this useful citi-
mo-, ~ tncon on tho S9h1aPf nj MANS.

in Elko should be on deck with his

family he should be there and enjoy
the good things.
The commissioners should put a
sprinkling cart on the streets as soon as
possible, that is providing there is
sufficient money in the town fund to
pay the expense. The dust and dirt was
something fierce yesterday and there
will be many more days like it before
the streets are thoroughly settled.

preferable than dust and dirt in ones
