To Kill Insects on Plants or Animals.

To Kill Insects on Plants or Animals.
In view of the great destruc-
ton by the aphis or ''turnip
louise" this fall. we print the fol-
lowing recipe. which is said to be
quite effective on them. 1t is
given to US by Mr.. H. T. Crew,
and is designated by him as "A
Preparation of Kerosene Emul-
sion as an Insecticide or Para
site. -
At least fifty per cent of our
crop failure here in the south or
Gulf States, more especially of
the garden crops, is due to the
ravages of some special plant en-
envy, but by reasonable care, and
knowing what remedy to apply
at the proper time, we are en-
abled to at least mitigate his de-
structive action, which will un-
doubtedly pay us for the expense
and pains. The best known and
most efficient insecticide or para
site for trees. plants and ami
mails, recognized by the most
careful students, is common coal
oil or kerosene. But the iritat-
ing action of the pure oil as a To-
cal application, either upon the
skin of animals or the delicate
foliage of the plant, forbids its
universal use. In order to over
come these objections a means of
dilution or emulsification of the
oil we find is based upon soap as
an emulsifying agent, and the
method employed to accomplish
this result is as follows:
Kerosene. 2 gallons; water, 1
gallon; hard soap Common laun-
dry), IS pound. Heat the water
and melt therein the soap. and
when thoroughly Incorporated
remove from the fire, add the
kerosene and stir vigorously.
The result when cool will be a
smooth, white mixture, that holds
the oil in suspension. In other
words, you will have a kerosene
soap that will keep indefinitely.
When ready to use, take one
part of the mixture and add 10|
to Is parts (by measure) of warm
water, depending upon the age
or delicacy of plant ready for the
spray. Use a spray pump to
keep the solution agitated-to
constantly keep an even distribu7
ton of the oil; for when the
emulsion is diluted it begins rap
idly to separate, and if this is al
lowed, through neglect of agita-
ton while spraying, it is scarcely
less injurious than the pure oil
itself, either upon the skin of the
animal or the foliage of the plant.

State Live Stock Association to Meet
in Alexandria Dec. 8, 10, III.

wv oiiASS Vic OOii WCCNi III 81 AL
vaded Louisiana, there has been
forced on the farmers of the
State tendency to follow other
agricultural pursuits besides the
planting of cotton. The present
crisis in the cotton market
brought on by the war in Europe
has demonstrated more than ever
the necessity for getting away
from the one-crop method, and
has brought the farmers of Lou
isiana to the realization that they
must diversity their activities
and raise more food products,
hogs, cattle and live stock of all
kinds, instead of depending so
much on cotton.
Louisiana is admirably adapted
to stock raising of all kinds and
to-day the opportunity was never
better to engage in it. In order
to assist in getting those inter-
ested started in this business the
need of a State live stock associa-
ton, such as other States have,
is great at this time. Such an
association should be organized
strictly on a business basis, should
maintain headquarters at some
central point in the State, with a
paid secretary, whose duty is to
gather all the information posi-
BILE for the stock raisers of the
State. This man should have on
hand information as to what kind
of stock can best be raised in the
State; what kind is adopted to
the different sections; where
such stock can be obtained; price
of same, etc. He should also be
constantly looking up good mar
kets. transportation facilities, etc.,
for the benefit of the association.
Such an organization can do more
in less time towards building up
the stock raising industry than
any other one thing.
In order to make the movement
Statewide, a call for a conven-
ton to be held in the City of AL
exandria on December 8, 10 and
IL has been sent out, and every
person in Louisiana who is in any
way interested in this coming in
dustry should respond by attend
ing the convention. There will
be invited many stockmen of ma
tional reputation, State and uni
versity experts. local stock ex-
perts, and, in fact, there will be
no stone left unturned to make
this convention the most pleas
ant and profitable that has ever
been held in the State. The So
cial feature will. not be left out,
and the citizens of Alexandria
will see to it that every person
attending will spend pleasant
time and learn more about rails
ing stock than they had any
idea of.
Every person in the State that
is interested in stock raising of
any kind is cordially invited to
attend this convention. Aiexan-
dria can be reached from any
point within the State in seven
hours. The ladies are especially
invited to attend; and the hotels
will make special rates in order
that every man can bring his
wife.
You can not afford to miss this
meeting. The successful organi-
cation and operation of a good
business live stock association
will take Louisiana out of the rut
and put her in the column of the
most prosperous States of the
Union.

SKIDS
PUT ON
MURPHY

NEW YORK, Feb. AT a
meeting of the National Demo-
cratic club last night, a resolu-
ton was adopted. after a stormy
session, demanding the immedi-
ate retirement of Charles f.
Murphy from the leadership of
Tammany hall and from all parti-
cipation in democratic politics,
and for the complete reorganiza-
ton of the state and national
committee organization of the
state.
Following the vote, which was
viva voce and apparently close,
and the announcement that the
motion was carried, the Murphy
adherents raised storm of pro-
test and the meeting came near
terminating in free-for-all fight.
City Court Justice Edward +.
O'Dwyer, president of the club,
presented the resolution and
argued for it, declaring the Or
ganization had carried the state
ticket to defeat and had now
been proven grafters in the
courts.

Gertrude Hoffr.laa1lL.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. g.
The beautiful Gerry Hoffman,,
famed for her vivacity and bare
foot terpsichorean feats, has had
a terrible shock.
She has been ordered by the
cold-hearted court not to dance
the lovely Gaby's dances any
more, Just because-well, just
because Gaby doesn't want her to.
The mental hair-pulling, in
which Gerty and Gaby have just
been engaged all started when
Gaby, who, you know, has an
other name, Deslys, just natural
ly declared that Gerty was trying
to undermine her popularity and
prestige by an "untruthful, wick
ed and scandalous caricature and
portraiture of her professional
conduct and personality"

GETS A
FATAL
SHOCK

Receiving the full force of the
40 volts from a high tension wire
which he intended to cut to pro-
tect the lives of his wOrkmen,
j. G. Denny, general superintend-
ent of construction of the Point
Defiance tunnel of the. Northern
Pacific, was himself instantly
killed by ~elec.rocution at 10
O'Clock this morning at the en-
trance of the east tunnel.
So complete was the work of the
fatal shock that not q mark was
made on the body of the victim.
Either ignorant of the fact that
the wire was heavily charged or
forgetting the danger to which he
had exposed himself to. Mr..
Denny proceeded to cut the wire
with his plyers to protect his
men who were engaged in the
work of tearing down the bunk
ers. He fell over instantly killed.
Mr.. Denny was a bachelor aged
40 years and took charge of the
work after the death of Nelson
Bennett a year ago. He was one
of MIR. Benefits most trusted
employees, and was to have COM
pleted the tunnel in two more
weeks. He was pioneer rail-
road builder of this vicinity.
He leaves mother broth
er and sister-in-law, all
residing in Tacoma. Mr.. Denny
lived at the construction camp.
The body was removed to HoskA
Buckley-King to await funeral
arrangements.
