44 Dear Mrs. Fi^kham :?For years I
enjoyed the best of health and thought
that I would a: ways do so. I attended
parties and receptions thinly clad, and
would be s*j<ddenly chilled, but I did
not think Jri the results. I caught a
bad cold eighteen months ago while
menstruating, and this caused inflammation

was called to your Vegetable Com*

performed, and I made up my mind to
try it for two months and see what it
would do for me. Within one month I
felt much better, and at the close of the
econd f. was entirely well.

lady friends to use it, and all express

results as I was." ? Miss Rose Nori

p | II ous insects ever since there
1111)1 ??1 H were any farmers and fruit
lSj~TT7~)S)} growers.
It would seem as if, after these many
years of experience, .they would have
learned good remedies for every insect
pest
They have learned many, and the
scientific men who are constantly
working on this very important problem
have found excellent economic
means to destroy the great majority
of injurious insects. But every few
years there appears some new insect
pest, which is so strong and prolific,
or which lives in such a peculiar way,
that it is able to do enormous damage,
to destroy millions of dollars' worth of
crops, and sometimes to alarm more
than a single country and affect the
relations of many civilized nations.
A few years ago the San Jose scale, '
a minute creature which Injures fruit
trees, spread all over the United States
and occasioned the passage of edicts
and laws in many foreign countries by
which American fruits and fruit trees
were praptically barred from interna- 1
tional commerce.
And now another of these great insect
scourges is affecting the cotton
crop of Texas, and threatens to spread
all through the cotton States. It is
partly due to the great damage which
j this insect has done that the price of
cotton last year went up to almost un!
precedented figures, so that ^otton

THE COST OF THE WEEVIL.
Eighty per cent, of the cotton crop
of the world is raised by America, an'l
of the cotton raised in the Unit
States Texas produces nearly cnefourth.
All the richest cotton counties
of Texas have been invaded by the
weevil, and the loss in cotton destroyed
by its depredations in the past
summer has surely been as great as
$15,000,000.

a great lessening of the American j
crop, foreign nations are making every i
effort to raise their own cotton. The j
i English colonies are particularly ac!
tive, and the German colonies, as well.
Russia is also making every effort to
push the growing of cotton within her
I territory. Other nations are doing the
I same. The trade balance of the entire
! world may soon be affected if efficient
I remedies for the pest are not discovI
ered and used.

rior of the boll, destroying all the form- j
ing cotton lint, reaching full growth (
and changing to pupa and emerging
as a weevil. In this way the insects
increase in geometrical ratio until, by j
late summer, they occur in countless (
millions; often hardly a boll matures. ,
AN INVADER FROM MEXICO. ]
A bale of cotton contains from 450 :
to 500 pounds, and in former days to i
raise a bale or a bale and a half of 1
cotton to the acre in the best parts of ]
Texas was almost a rule. Where the <
weevil '-.as made its appearance, how- i
ever, it is often difficult to raise a bale ]
of cotton on ten or even fifteen acres
of land.
The weevil came to Te~as from Mexico,
where, in certain places, it had 1
absolutely stopped the culture of cot- !
ton. It crossed the Rio Grande at .
Brownsville, and was carried north
across a great extent of grazing country
in cotton which ?as taken to be

ginned at a place called Alice. From
Alice northward and eastward cotton
culture is continuous, and the weevil
spread at the rate of about seventyi
five miles a year from 1894 until th*
present time. It has now reached prac|
tically to the northern border of Texas,
' -X _ vv.-= i.J. ...
'
? - - MOT" ~p .
and is on the east within a few miles /
3f Louisiana.
During all this time the / United
States Department of Agriculture and j
the State Agricultural College of Texas
have been studying the insect and trying
to find some means of fighting it
successfully. Eight or nine years ago *
it coulci have been stopped and all |
this damage prevented by abandoning *
the culture cf cotton in a rather un- 1
productive section. Or, if the planters (
could have oeen induced to cut down *
and burn the cotton stalks in the fall, I
it is probable that the insect would not 5
have spread, and would eventually *
have been exterminated. (
All sorts of experiments have been 1
made with different insecticide mixtures
and with many different kinds
of machines. The most careful studies
have been made of the life history
and habits of the insect. Experts
have been sent to Mexico, to other portions
of Central America and to the
West Indies as wen, to stuay tne insect
In its natural home?for it is evidently
a tropical species?in the hope
of being able to find some parasite or
natural enemy which might be introduced.
into the United States with beneficial
effect.
IS THERE A REMEDY?
Although no*-such parasite has be?n
found., and although no poisonous application
has been discovered which
will destroy the weevil, and although
no practical machine has been invented,
we have, nevertheless, through our
Intimate knowledge of the life history
of the weevil, found a way to grow cot- '
ton in paying quantities in spite of
the destructive creature.
In the spring the weevils are few in
number; the great majority of them 1
have been killed by the long winter. 1
Comparatively few come out of hiber- '
ttEABLY PULL-GROWN LARVA IN BOLL. 1
nating quarters in the spring to lay \
the eggs for the coming generation. A ]
single female will have millions of de- ,
scendants by autumn, but these mil- \
lions are gradually developed. 1
. It was the old custom to pick cotton
In Texas until past Christmas, and in
late $utumh the weevils are at their
height in point of numbers. If plant- ?
ers use Northern cottonseed, the plants J
from which develop much more rapidly
than from Texas seed; if they plant
their rows a little further apart than *
has been the custom, if they cultivate 1
the crop and force it to early maturity, ]
they will be able to raise a good quan- 1
tity of cotton before the weevils have i
become so.numerous as to destroy the i
great majority of the bolls? 1
In this way, on experimental plots i
aggregating seven or eight hundred 1
acres, in. different parts of Texas, the (
experts of the Division of Entomology, 1
of the United States Department of 1
Agriculture, have been able to raise i
and pick, before the middle of October, s
from two-thirds of a bale to a bale an
acre, whereas from crops not thus
planted and treated, only a Dale from
eight to twelve acres has been secured.
Then, after this amount of cotton
has been picked, the cotton stalks are
cut down or plowed up, left to lie for
i while until dry, and are then burned.'
Very many weevils are destroyed in
this way.. The few that escape have a
much long.er period to wait before the
crop comes up, and many die. The
lumber which will be found on hand
to attack the cotton on these fields
next year will be v >ry small. The result
is that more cotton can be raised
jrear after year.
Thus cotton can be raised in spite
of the weevil. But the weevil will not
be exterminated; it will probably con- .

likely that it will invade the other
cotton-growing States. ~r
The work on remedies, however, is J
3till going on; the search for parasites
In tropical countries still continues. *
Congress will probably appropriate at .
this session a large sum of money to 1
help in the work, so that although j
the outlook Is rather ?ad, i* is by no 1
r-.eans hopeless, and the prospect that i
the United States will lose her su- c
premacy in cotton production on ac- J
count of the weevil is, in my mind, not 1
greatly to be feared.?Youth's Com- T

A telegram at Bombay awaited

financial houses and informed
him of the determination of the Elm- *

a man with sufficient influence to be
able to approach the princes of India
in secret with a view to seflinf
them the jewels. Not less :h$jrd was
it to lay hands on the man wh(? had
moral strength sufficient to carry with *
him surreptitiously hundreds of ihonsands

lands where the Queen's writ did not
run, ana wnere tne protection or tne
constable is not immediately available.

Every care had been taken to Insure
secrecy. The jewel3 had been
taken to pieces; the gems removed
from their settings; the latter
"jointed" to admit of their holding x
and being worn around the waist of
their bearer in a belt of soft leather.
The Englishman put on the belt,
armed himself with a trusty revolver,
engaged a trusty servant, and sat
forth on his mission. For three months 1
he wandered over road, rail and
river. The responsibility of his
trust, the constant danger of discovery,
the difficulty of disposing of his
burden were worries that combined , ?
almost to kill him. At last he was , *
