FOR FIGHTING THE CURCULIC
Cheapest and Quickest Way of De- stroying This Destructive Little
 Orchard Pest.

The quickest and most economical method of fighting the curculio, where there are only a few thees, is to place a sheet under each tree early in the morning, as soon as the insects ap- pear, and jar the trunk; when they fall gather and burn, says the Bal timore American. This should be done twice a week for two or three weeks, when most, if not all of them, can be caught before the fruit is in- jured. The plum, the damson, and the apricot are the fruits most in- jured. Slugs that attack the pear and other trees may be killed by dust ing the leaves, when damp, with fresh airslaked lime. Apple trees should be sprayed early in the spring when buds commence to form; alter the blossoms fall, when fruit is one third grown and when half grown. The Bordeaux and paris green solution is the best remedy. These solutions may be had already prepared at the agri- cultural stores.

IT is very gratifying to those who
want good prices for tobacco to know
that the growers all over the State
are now pooling their crops very
rapidly. For a time little interest
was manifested in the matter, and it
looked like the farmers would refuse
to take interest. However, they
seem to have awakened to the fact
that the only way by which they can
get good prices is by thorough or
ganization. and the large number of
names added to the pool shows that
the farmers are determined to stand
together. In this county, much of
the crop has been pooled, and we be-
lieve that in a short time, it will all
be placed in the pool.

presidential mouth has been watering
for corn beef and cabbage even as it
watered for corn pone and 'possum
in the South. He was tired of state
dinners; tired of nightingale's tongues
as steady diet and nectar as regu-
lar drink. and he longed for the hum
bic cabbage of his forefathers. Twas
ever thus. Seldom do our dreams
come true and our phantasies assume
material form. Those of US who have
not been condemned to several weeks
of banquets and who can have corn
beef and cabbage whenever we want
it-always provided, of course, that
we have the price-have much for
which TO be thankful.

Forty Years Ago.

Shelby Record: An old account
book owned by farmer shows that in
January, 1865, he sold ten fat hogs at
$3.50 per hundred. This was a pretty
long price, and we of today should say
he was making money hand over fist
bat another page of the same account
book shows that ne paid So so for ten
pounds of coffee, 1888 for ten pounds
sugar, $l.77 for for twelve spools OF
thread. and $l.3O for a gallon of kero
sine oil. The subscription price to a
country weekly in those days was 81 so
per year.
Yes, and four years ago the editor
paid thirty per cent less for his paper
stock than he pays now, and his living
expenses have increased forty per cent.
He gets the same old price, one dollar
per year. when he gets it, for his paper,
and no more for his job printing or adj
vertising. Those who benefit by the
high prices that rule these DAYS for
hogs, sheep, corn, wheat and other
commodities that are necessary for the
editor TO live, should treat him fairly,
and not only be willing to pay him a
reasonable price for what he does, but
pay him promptly.
