A Remedy for the Cotton Worm. In an address delivered at St. Louis in June, 1872,1 suggested that the Paris Green mixture which was doing such good work in preserving our potato fields against the attacks of the Colorado Potato Beetle, might prove equally efficient against the ravages of the insect which | -takes the place of this potato enemy in the cotton fields of the country. Having no op? portunity to experiment on the Cotton Worm, {Anomys xylina, Say) I tried the effect of the mixture ou several closely allied worms which occur in Missouri, and especially on the Fall .Army-worm, (Prodenia autuwnal?, Eiley) in 'each case witn the most satisfactory results. Feeling thus well assured that the remedy would work beneficially as an antidote to the Cotton Worm, and might prove of untold value to the people of the South, I took occasion to read ah essay on that insect at an agricultural meeting in Indianopolis, the last of May, 1873. Thi3 means of appealing to the cotton-grow? ers of the country had the desired effect. The essay, giving directions for the proper use of the poison, together with the natural history of the worm, was published either entire or in ?abstract in a large number of agricultural jour? nals which circulate in the South. The reme? dy was, in consequence, very thoroughly tried and generally used, its merits being so fully discussed that I received over 100 articles on the subject which a Southern editor kindly clipped for me from his exchanges. Later in the season when experience had settled many important points as to the effect of the Paris .Qreen on the Cotton Worm and the best mode .of using it, the Department of Agriculture .conceived the idea of sending out a circular to its cotton-growing correspondents. This circu? lar, with numerous answers, many of which are so indefinite in point of detail as to be of no value, or to convey wrong impressions, and all of which lack signature and date, was pub? lished in the Monthly Report for November and December, 1873. The general conclusions which Mr. Glover deduces from them corres? pond, however, not only to the mass of testi? mony elicited by my own correspondence, and found in the clippings above alluded to; but to the experience had of this insecticide in the more Northern States. The remedy has proved most satisfactory wherever properly and intelligently used?i. e., dusted in proportion of one part of pure green to 20 or 25 parts of flour; or sprinkled in pro? portion of one tablespoonful of the green to a common bucketful ot water. Improved meth? ods of applying the poison have been devised, and contrivances for the more effectual and more safe dusting of plants, and machines for springling by horse-power, where the solution is employed, have been patented. The liquid has the advantage over the powder in that there is less danger from injury in its use, and that, on a large scale, it may be applied by horse-poWer from a watering cart. It has three disadvantages : 1st. The green is not soluble, for though it quickly gives a green tint to the water, when stirred, it soon settles to the bottom unless kept in suspense by con? tinued stirring or agitation. 2d. It settles in spots on the leaves, the natural tendency of the water in finding its level being to carry and Concentrate it wherever a drop finds rest and evaporates. 3d. Too much is wasted on the ground in sprinkling. I have therefore found it much more convenient on a small scale to use the powder, where it can be obtained ready mixed by machinery. Applied when the dew is on the plants, it will adhere more uniformly, and it obviates the necessity of carrying about so much water. But whether used in water or as a powder the flour will prove a desirable addition, since it renders the green more adhe? sive, and consequently more serviceable. This adhesive quality in the liquid may also be ob? tained by dissolving dextrine or gum-arabic or glue in the water?all, however, much more expensive than flour. Reports from those who have used the remedy for the Cotton Worm, put the cost of the material at from 6S cents to $1 per acre, for each application?two ap? plications, and sometimes more, being necessa? ry to save the crop. This remedy will, from the different habit of the insect, not prove of any great value against the Boll-worm. Its use. should be abandoned, except for extreme reasons, after the bolls open ; so as to prevent any injury that might follow ginning of the poisoned cotton. Although aware of the fact that sundry pat? ents had been taken out by persons in the more Northern States for Paris Green in combina? tion with other ingredients, to kill potato beetles, I was not aware that anything of the sort had been done in the South till I received from a Mr. Royal 1, of Texas, a letter, accom? panied with several circulars, containing refer? ences, etc., and saying that he had patented a compound and was introducing it in all the eotton States. The patent is numbered 112,782, and the ingredients of this right royal mixture are Paris Green, flour of elm or gum arabic, common flour, and powdered rosin. Mr. Royall tells us that "it takes from 15 to 20 pounds of the material to an acre of cotton from four to five feet high for the first application. For the. second application upon the new growth, about -one-third only of this quantity is required." It is to be regretted that patents can be ob? tained at all for remedies of this nature after they have become generally known, and right? fully belong to the public. When the discov? erer of such a remedy does not see fit to patent it, no one subsequently has a moral right to, whatever speculative right he may possess. Fortunately, in this case, the patentees cannot interfere with the public rights, and it is to be Boped that no planter, either of potatoes or eotton, will be induced, by flaming circulars and threats, to pay even one cent per 1,000 acres, much less the demanded ?20 per 100 acres, for the privilege of using these patented mixtures. The very fact that so many patents have been granted for the same purpose, all the mixtures having Paris Green as a base, shows clearly that the patent covers only the particular combination. By ringing the chan? ges on the different proportions of the several ingredients, a thousand of these patented rem? edies may be obtained; and any one who di? verges but a fraction from the particular pat? ented combination ceases to infringe upon it. It will therefore be utterly impossible for the patentees to enforce the penalty for infringe? ment without proof that precisely the same ingredients and combinations as patented were used, and to get such proof will, I take it, be no easy matter; for were it, we should hear of hundreds of thousands of prosecutions where now we hear not of a single oue. Mr. B. F. Prout, of Demopolis, Ala., who has quite recently (and anonymously) published a little "Essay on the best mode of using Paris Green for the Cotton Caterpillar," found that the cost of material per acre, for two applica? tions, will not exceed $1.75, viz : 40 lbs. flour at 21 cents per lb., and 2 lbs. Paris Green at 37J cents per Ib.; and further, that in his own experience, an expenditure of ?100 on about 80 acres "increased the crop at least ten bales." The pamphlet contains good advice, and I hope that in future the author will entirely drop the terra "Army Worm," as applied to this insect, because it in reality applies to another species, and is not so appropriate as "Cotton Worm," or "Cotton Caterpillar." . j C. V. Riley, - State Entomologist of Missouri. IK. Y. Tribune. m it n ? At a revival meeting in Boston, the young son of Rev. Dr. Fulton, a lad just in his teens, publicly expressed discouragement in his efforts to be converted?at which the father knelt immediately by his side and prayed as follows: "O Lord ! thou knowest that this boy has been brought up in a Christian family, under the best of Christian ?influences; but help him to remember that this will only make i hell the hotter." I Newspaper Frauds. So many country journals, in the whole South and in this State particularly, have adopted the "patent inside" or the patent "out side" system, that we feel called on to de? nounce the whole thing as a fraud and imposi? tion upon the public. A public which pays it3 money and gets no equivalent. For the information of every one, we pro? pose briefly to explain this contemptible swin? dle, giving a brief outline of its origin and operations. An unprecedented snow-storm a few years ago visited a portion of the North? west, which interdicted travel for several weeks, and brought about much privation and pecuniary sacrifice and want. Many country Eublishers in that section, keeping on hand . ut a small amount of paper stock, soon ex? hausted their supply, and were threatened with involuntary suspension. In this emergency, Mr. A. J. Aikeus, a Milwaukee newspaper Eroprietor, was impressed with the idea that e could extricate these publishers from their difficulties, and at the same time "put money in his purse" by furnishing ready printed paper from his establishment. Making the accepted, and the enterprise proved very re? munerative. This was the origin of "patent outsides." Thus accidentally conceived and carried to a financial success, the plan was speedily seized upon by enterprising men as a way to fortune, and a perfect system was organized, and to-day they have in their grasp the independence of thirteen hundred publishers. The advantages claimed by the auxiliary system are the superior quality of material, beauty of typography, excellence of reading matter, and the cheap price of ready printed sheets over those wholly printed at home. These advantages are admitted ; but can only be addressed to a printer without a trade; a publisher without a pocket-book; an editor without brains, or a man without professional pride. The objections to the system are manifold, but we will refer only to the more prominent: First, the use of "patent outsides" is unjust to the printer. It has already deprived of em? ployment fifteen hundred journeymen?men who have spent year3 in acquiring an art only to be cast adrift upon the world to seek anoth? er livelihood. Second, it is injuring the pub? lisher. The printing of these sheets is in the hands of advertising agents whose position ?enables them to contract for advertisements at rates upon which any publisher would starve. The value of advertising space is thus depre? ciated, and the profits curtailed in proportion. It weakens aud destroys the publisher's enter? prise ; publishing a paper, the typographical appearance of which can not be uniform, and is sometimes wretched, by contrast, he loses pride; and, circumscribed in limits, he is often obliged to defer or entirely omit important matters directly interesting his readers, by which he loses both prestige and patrouagc. Third, it is prejudicial to the editor. The prime requisite of au editor does not consist simply in his ability to write well; his strength lies in his power to discern the tastes of his readers and meet their desires. But the "pat? ent outsides" being beyond his control, fre? quently contain matter distasteful to himself, and utterly unsuitable to the requirements of his readers. This destroys .the individuality and renders fruitless the knowledge that the successful editor must possess and employ. Fourth, it is disgraceful to journalism. With few exceptions, the poorest edited, the shab? biest looking, and worst remuuerated papers are to be found on the "patent outside" list. And we have yet to discover a real first-class journal which uses the sheets. The argument of cheapness advocated so strenuously and plausibly by its supporters is the cause of its employment by most publishers and the secret of its success; but it has hastened many men of small capital and no experience into the newspaper business only to fasten them in the meshes of financial ruin. A thousand papers suspended in 1872 whose failure can be attrib? uted to this pernicious system. It seems to us unnecessary to extend the argument any further, although much more might be; said. Every editor in the State should give the system "the stamp of his disap? probation.?Abbeville Medium. A New Phase of the Temperance Cru? sade.?Out in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the wo? men have now got things reduced to a system. Instead of being at the trouble to go around in the mud to pray and sing, they just put up a sentry box in front of each saloon, and station a lady in it to take down the name and note the condition of every man who enters or leaves it. It is said to work like a charm. The fair sen? tries delight in their duty, and do not welcome the rustle of petticoats that indicates the ap? proach of the relief. The occupation has an irresistable attraction for the feminine mind, combining as it does the present charm of minding-other folks' business, the permanent utility of laying up so reliable a stock of gossip as these observations afford, and finally, the comfortable sense of serving a great moral re? form. How to Cure a Balky Horse.?-A balky horse is understood to be an animal which, when harnessed, refuses to start. Various ex? pedients, many of them cruel, are resorted to in order to overcome such obstinacy, aud it may, therefore, be well enough to please note the California method. It is to put a rope under the horse's body, behind his fore legs, and to let two men, one at each end, draw the rope backward aud forward, as if "sawing," at the legs. It must not be done too roughly, but still with force sufficient. The animal to escape something he does not understand, will soon move a few steps, and, after a lengthened but quiet application of such a "persuasive" process, will not fail to move on. Repeated applica? tions will work a thorough cure. ? Donn Piatt, in the Washington Capital, thus vindicates General Grant: "We meet the President almost daily as we pass the Executive Mansion, going to and from our office, and while his countenance is not that of a teetotal Jouadab or Dashaway in good standing, there is nothing in his manner to indicate the frightful excess with which he is charged. He looks to us like a bon vivant who puts himself outside of a bottle or so at dinner, and retires at night in a happy state of elevation that is as far from sobriety as it is from drunkenness" ? Hon. Alexander H. Stephens has returned to his home in Georgia. Before taking his de? parture from Washington, he was called upon by a company of friends, and during the con? versation remarked that unless his health should become improved by the trip, he never again expected to visit Washington. He is a confirmed invalid, and has not been in his scat on the floor of the House for the past two months. ? A gentleman named Stedraan, writes to the Fairmont (Minn.) Chain, ordering his paper discontinued, giving as one reason that his wife says "it won't even clean lamp chimneys." To this, among other things the editor answers, that the withdrawing subscriber may be a man of influence, but he is no gentleman, and has "7io right to betrag what his wife told him in confidence, and we presume his wife will not thank him for it." ? A lady of discriminating taste bemoans the fact that all the good-looking men in this section are married, or?gone to that better place, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary be at rest. ?

This is to certify that I have been blind for the last three years, during which time I have spent several hundred dollars in trying to obtain relief, the greater part of which I spent in Atlanta, Ga., under treatment of Dr. Hooton, without obtaining any relief whatever. Iliad almost despaired of ever being ablo to see, when Dr. J. W. Gurley informed me that my case was Cataract, and, by an operation, he believed that he could restore my sight. I consented, and on tho 17th of February last, he operated upon my eyes. On the seventh day after, I was able to distinguish objects at a distance. My sight has improved ever since, and now (Aug. 1st) feel that, with the aid of my glasses, I can see as well as any person of my age (67), and am able to attend to all my business?which renders me a happy man, being brought from Darkness to Light.
