Ps THE AIKEN RECORDER. AIKEN, 8. C., MARCH 18. 1892. REMEDY FOR GRAIN WEEVIL. Requisite Quantity of Bisulphide of Car* bon and Manner of Applying It. The use of bisulphide of carbon against different insects attacking stored grain has greatly increased in this country since it was first recommended some thirteen years ago by Dr. C. V. Riley, entomologist for the United States de partment *of agriculture. Dr. Riley states that there is. however, consider able diversity in the method of using it and the recommendations of some of our writers have evidently been made with no sense of the fact that the fumes are heavier than air, and descend rather than ascend. Professor A. H. Church, in a recent number of the Kew Bulletin, records that he found that 1| pounds of the bisulphide is enough to each ton of grain. He advises that it be applied in the following way: A ball of tow is tied to a stick of such a length that it can reach the miudle of the vessel containing the grain. The tow receives the charge of bisulphide like a sponge, and then is at once plunged into the vessel and left there, the mouth or opening of the vessel then being tightly closed. When necessary the stick may be withdrawn and the charge (of one ounce to a hundred pounds of grain) may be renewed. The action of carbon bisulphide lasts in or dinary cases six weeks, after which period a fresh charge is required. The bisulphide does no harm to the grain as regards its color, smell or cooking prop erties, and the germinating power of most seeds is not appreciably affected, provided that not too much is used, nor its action continued for too long a pe riod. The assistant director of agri culture of Burmah is reported to have used naphthaline instead of bisulphide in the following way, but I should not ex pect anything like as good results from the naphthaline as from the bisulphide. A hollow bambeo cylinder 1$ inches in diameter, with a stick fitted into the cavity, Is pushed down to the bot tom of the bin; the stick is then with drawn and a few teaspoonfuls of naph thaline powder is poured in the bam boo, which is then drawn out, leaving the naphthaline at the bottom of the bin. If the bins are very large this should be done once to every ten feet square, and the application should be re peated every fifteen to twenty days. Pumpkins for Fattening Swine. The fanner who is so fortunate as to have a good supply of pumpkins has a valuable food in them as a part ration for his fattening hogs. It is claimed by some, says National Stockman, that hogs will fatten on them as their only food. A writer in The Farmers’ Review, com menting on the foregoing, says: “We would not care to risk the statement so far as to undertake to fit a lot of hogs for market with them. We would feed as many each day as the hogs would eat up clean, and then give them all the corn they would consume besides. Young hogs with a ration of pumpkins each day will stand a much longer feeding on corn than they would if fed corn alone. There can be no doubt that the mixed ration Will be muCU TjelVc-i ixap-lxa-Aa.t.c.d. fVic corn when fed alone. It is a wasteft# way of feeding to throw out enough corn or pumpkins, or both at one time, to last the hogs two or three days. Their food should be given to them sweet and clean at least twice a day.” Another plan of feeding pumpkins to hogs that has been found to produce ex cellent results is to begin early in the fall. While the fattening hogs are in the pasture lots give them all they will eat as long as the supply lasts, then begin with the corn. Pumpkins alone will fatten hogs quite rapidly, but the pork from such feeding is soft and undesira ble, and needs a finishing with corn to make it first class. Pumpkins are cheaper than corn, besides being a specially health giving food; hence the fat and flesh added in the beginning is more eco nomically produced and the profits pro portionately increased. The Fay Currant. Mr. E. Williams, of Montclair, N. J., whose opinion is worth repeating, says: "The Fay currant is much more produc tive than the others; the fruit is quite as large, and the quality in no way inferior. It has the fault, however, of a procum bent tendency. The plant seems deter mined to develop a trailing habit, very different from that of the erect Ver sailles. Many of the shoots starting from the base of the plant wall run out on the ground and curve up their ends a few inches high, a habit which I dislike very much; and yet I shall set more of them. Of late years we have seldom secured full and perfect clusters of this fruit, because the unfavorable weather at the time of blooming, or some other cause, has prevented the later blossoms from setting. The clusters, therefore, tre only about half as long as nature in tended them to be. But after all, the Fay seems a great step forward in the development of this fruit, although the ideal currant has not yet been produced.” Agricultural News. Officers of the North American Bee keepers’ association are: President, P. H. El wood, Starkville, N. Y.; secretary, C. P. Dadant, Hamilton, Ills. The American Steel Trade association has indorsed the rules of nomenclature made by the committee of station horti culturists (Bailey, Goff, W. J. Green), and a committee has been appointed to take up fully the whole question of nomenclature. There are nearly if not quite 75,000 square miles of range yet commanded by the stockmen in Texas and much of it will so remain for many years to come. Outside of this area is enough good agri cultural land tor a million farms, says the editor of the Texas Farm and Ranch. The chief of the department of agri culture for the World’s fair has made the following distribution of the $150,000 appropriated by the board of directors for live stock awards: Horses, $52,000; cattle, $:10,C00; swine, $20,000; sheep, 5 15,000; poultry and pet stock, $10,000; ogs, $4,000. This leaves $19,000 as a contingent fund. It is a fixed and iimmitable law that to have good, sound health one must have pure, rich and abundant blood. There is no shorter nor surer route than by a course of De Witt’s Sarsaparilla W. J. Platt. Mrs. L. R. Patton, Rockford, HI., writes; “From personal experience I can recommend De Witt’s Sarsapa rilla, a cure for impure blood and gen eral debility” W. J. Platt. Explorers’ Helper# Scarce. It is not generally known that most African explorers entering the continent from Zanzibar have been compellt-d to fit out chiefly with slaves hired from their Zanzibar masters. A few weeks ago the British Antislavery society issued a protest agaidst this practice and called attention to the fact that the ex pedition which H. H. Johnston had jnst led into the country was made np oi slaves. The sultan of Zanzibar has now issned a decree forbidding the enlisting of slaves on these expeditions. There is. accordingly, a great scarcity of labor, and explorers and the German East Africa company cannot get all the men they need.—London Letter. Hard Times for Georgia Alligators. Lake lamonia is fast drying up. Thir ty years ago the lake dried up and one could walk over any portion. Hundreds came with wagons and hauled thousands of pounds of fish away. Alligators were as plentiful 4? logs. No cause for the strange disappearance of the water can be assigned. Dozens of alligators are crowded together, and parties are al ready seining the holes for fish.—Cor. Atlanta Constitution. A I’ig Output of Flour.

The body of Robert Western, who was drowned at St. Louis, was buried in Evergreen cemetery. In one respect Robert Western was remarkable. He was born in jail, was married in prison and spent eleven years in the peniten tiary, yet he and his parents were emi nently respectable people. Robert's fa ther was keeper of the county jail here at his birth.
