TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.
An Inter-County Teachers’ Institute will lie
held in connection with the Chautauqua. About
a dozen counties will combine in this work.
Besides the regular experts, a contract has
already been closed with Prof. E. E. Utterback,
probably the most notable directors of manuel
south, will have charge of this department of
work. It will be a rare opportunity for the
teachers of Georgia. This is a subject which is
receiving attention from the leading educators
and statesmen of America. Prof. Utterback
will demonstrate what Manual Training really
is, the position it should occupy and its true
function as a factor in education. He willhaye
drawing, painting, modeling, construction in
paper, cardboard sewing and weaving. It is
also practically certain that a Professor from
John Hopkins University will deliver several
lectures on physiology, and will be illustrated
witli life-size manakins and other drawings and
charts, so as to mako them plain and yet
attractive. Tiie examinations for teachers’
license now includes questions on Physiology
and this science must ne taught in all public
schools. These lectures are therefore timely
and of inestimable value.
A rate of one fare for the round
trip has been granted by the rail
roads from all points in Georgia,
and the ticket will include admis
sion tc the Chautauqua. The best
homes in Barnesville are open to
all visitors at rates from 60 cents
to SI.OO per day. The whole
Chautauqua will be a marvelous
treat for every Georgian.

THE COLORADO BEETLE
One Great Scourge of the
Irish Potato Crop.
HOW TO DESTROY THE PEST
Remedy Most Generally Used In
Treating For These Insects Is to
Spray the Plants as Soon as First
Grubs Hatch. *
In its adult stage the Colorado Po
tato Beetle is about one halt’ art 'inch
long, rounded, very convex, almost
hemispherical in fact, and is distin
guished from any other insect that
might answer to this description by
the striped color, and the fact that
the dark stripes are always exactly
ten in number. These beetles appear
early in the spring, soon after the po
tato plants have started their growth,
but though they do some damage di
rectly, it is to their young, the reddish,
fleshy “bugs” that the bulk of the in
jury is due. These are hatched from
groups of orange yellow eggs that will
be found soon after the appearance of
the parent beetles, which deposit them
on the under side of the potato leaves
or on other plants that chance to be
growing in the immediate vicinity. It
is usually the appearance of these
“bugs” in serious numbers that first
calls the attention of the grower to
the fact that something must be done
to save the crop.
Remedies.
The remedy most generally used In
treating for these insects consists in
the spraying of the plants as soon as
the first grubs begin to hatch, with
some poisonous substance, usually Par
is green mixed with water. Several
other compounds have been put on the
market which are equally effective,
and perhaps possess some advantage
over that named. Among them may
be mentioned Arsenate of Lead, either
as sold by Chas. Warren Davis, Au
gusta, Ga., under the name of Swift’s
Arsenate of Lead, or by John B. Dan
iel, Atlanta, Ga., under the trade name
of Disparene, which seem to possess
certain advantages over the PsKs
green in fineness and adhering qual
ities. At a rule, however, compounds
put up in packages and sold for these
purposes under fancy names should be
looked upon with considerable suspi
cion, as they are often nothing more
than Paris green or some other well
known insecticide adulterated with
some worthless material, in order that
a greater bulk may be sold for the
same price, and at the same time leave
a handsome margin to the "manufac
turer.”
Spraying.
In the application of these sub
stances one ounce of the Paris green
or a somewhat larger quantity of the
Arsenate of Lead or Disparene should
be weighed out for each six gallons oi
water that is to be used, and this
should be thoroughly wet or stirred up
with a small quantity of water before
being diluted. The spraying will have
to be done, if the field is one of con
siderable extent, by means of a spray
pump, of which a great many forms
are manufactured and sold, and of
which the chief requisite perhaps is
the attachment of a thorough agitator.
The poison sinks rapidly through the
water, in which it is not dissolved hut
only suspended, and unless thoroughly
stirred will be applied in very uneven
strength and some damage may re
sult. It is not necessary that a very
thorough application be made, as is
the case when spraying for scale in
sects, etc., since the young grubs col
lect, as soon as hatched, on the
more tender portions of the growing
plants and are pretty certain to be
reached by the poison if these merely
are sprayed. It is very often necessary
that two or more applications be made,
as the young hatched from eggs laid
after a plant is spryaed may find suf
ficient food on the shoots, that have
grown after the application of the poi
son, and will not on that account be af
fected by it, at least, not until all the
tenderer portions are eaten away, and
a good deal of damage done.
In small patches, as in a garden,
where potatoes are not raiswl for the
market, and in which cases It often
happens that the owner has no suit
able pump, some other means may be
used for the application of the poison.
A god way is to mix a small teaspon
ful of the Paris green into a bucket
ful of water, and by means of a whisk
broom, or even a whisp of straw on
a stick which is stirred about in the
bucket and then shaken over the plant,
a very good job on a small scale may
be done. The use of the small com
pressed air pumps that are quite com
monly used in spraying whitewash or
disinfectants is not recommended.
There is no proper means provided for
sufficient agitation, and unless the
pump is constantly shaken to insure
the continued mixture of the poison,
very poor results may be expected.
Some growers prefer to apply the
poison in dry form, and this method
has certain advantages over the spray
ing, especially in small garden spots.
It may either be applied pure or slight
’y diluted with plaster or flour, and
there are made for this purpose sev
eral forms of powder beliows which
are quite exact and economical in ac
tion. This method is not applicable
to large fields, however, as it is neces
sary that the application be made in
the early morning when the plants
are wet with dew, or alae after a
shower.
There is a home-made appliance
sometimes used for this purpose which
may tie prepared from a large tin can,
in the bot'tom of which a large number
of small holes must be punched. Near
the top of the can two large holes are
to be made in opposite sides which
will allow the passage of a stick two
or thtoe feet long to servo as a handle,
which has a large nail driven through
one end to prevent the can from slip
ping off. The Paris green is first
stired into eight or ten times ite
bulk of plaster or cheap flour, and
placed in the perforated can. The
apparatus is then held over the plant
by the operator, who, with a second
short stick, hits gently on that which
is made to serve as a handle, and thus
causes a small portion of the poisoned
mixture to he jarred out. Much
depends on the judgment of the oper
ator in this method, as the plant
should only be very slightly dusted,
and the heaviness of the jar required
depends entirely on the size of the
perforations, and the fineness of the
flour.
In this connection it may be men
tioned that a very effectual fight may
be waged against this pest by poison
ing the beetles as soon as they appear
in spring, or if labor is cheap, by
having them collected by children. By
these means few eggs will be laid, and
the trouble will be prevented from the
start.
Information Wanted.
Owing to the rapid spread of this in
sect in recent years the exact bound
aries of its range in the state are not
at present known, and it has been re
ported this season from localities con
siderably separated from any previous
ly known points of infestation. It is
frequently asked of this office just
what portions of the state are infested,
and how soon it may be expected to
appear in localities at preseat free.
In order to obtain more complete
knowledge on this subject, it has been
decided to ask any one who has had
any opportunity for observation to
answer either or both of the following
questions:
(1.) Does the Colorado Potato Bee
tle occur in your locality?
(2.) If so, how long has it been
known ther.e?
An answer to these questions ad
dressed to State Entomologist, Atlan
ta, and coming from any part of the
state will be of value to us, and It is
earnestly requested that any bne Inter
ested will reply.

FEEDING AND CARE OF HOGS.
Some people have an idea that al
most any sort of kitchen Hlop is good
enough for a hog, and it Is a common
thing to give them stale, sour slops
that have stood for hours. But this
should never be done. Let their food
be wholesome and sweet, whether ob
tained from kitchen or dairy; let It be
fresh and clean.
A hog will drink almost any kind of
water; but do not conclude that, be
cause mud and filth are hatural to
him, he will thrive on them. Stale,
surface water breeds the germs of
cholera and other diseases, and hogs
that are allowed to use it are liable to
contamination. Give them clean water
in something so arranged that they
cannot get their feet into it.
Corn should not be supplied too
bountifully, as its tendency is to over
heat the animals. When fed sparing
ly and along with grasses, it makes an
excellent ration.
A farmer who is looking for good
results rorn his swine, will not allow
them to run and feed along tho
public highways, where the germs may
be conveyed to them by diseased hogs
that have previously gone that way.
The best way to save a herd In which
cholera has appeared, is to Immediate
ly separate the well from the sick.
The old sayfhg is “an ounce of pre
ventive is worth a pound of cure."
Men of large experience have given
their endorsement to Chloro-Naptho
leum as a cheap, powerful and non
poisonous disinfectant.
The use of this excellent remedy
applied externally keeps down lice,
and when mixed with the water and
food proves an excellent internal medl
cine.
Another important thing in the care
of hogs is to see that they have good
bedding, often renewed, so a n to keep
it as clean as possible. As soon as
the old bedding has been removed and
burned, the premises should be well
disinfected with Chloro-Naptholcum,
or some other good disinfectant.
Many cures have been tried for hog
cholera, but the surest relief from this
3read scourge lies In prevention. There
are many good disinfectants. One
of the best Is Chioro-Napthaieum, and
the free use of lime. A good solution
is 40 or 50 parts of water to one of
Cbioro-Naptholeum. Take a large
bucketful of this solution and thor
oughly spray the animals and sprinkle
the floor of the feeding pen.
The Bacteriologist of the fowa Stats
Board of Health In May, 1898, mads
the following statement as to hog
cholera:
"This organism was found to be
especially susceptible to the action of
dliloro-Naptholeum:
“One part In 250 killed growing cul
tures in ten hours. One part in 500
prevented development.
"Dry, but virulent, preparations of
this germ were killed in 24 heurs by
immersing In water containing one
part in 400."
Always remember that In the rais
ing of hogs cleanliness and careful at
tention are very necessary to secure
the best results, botbjis to th* health
ful ness of the animal and the result
ing excellence of his flesh for food.

If the hair is falling out, rub the pul]) of a lemon on the scalp.
To cure a felon, apply a poultice made of rye flour and soft
soap.
Ink stains may be removed from white goods by rubbing
promptly with a slice of lemon.
Alum water will restore almost any faded polors, if put into the
riucing water after the goods are washed.
A sponge may be cleaned by letting it lie covered in milk for
twelve hours, and then rinsing in cold water.
Glass may be cut with a chisel if kept constantly wet with
camphor gum dissolved in spirits of turpentine.
In cleaning paint spots that will not yield to soap, try a damp
cloth, wet in strong soda water and rub lightly.
Newspapers soaked in a solution made of cayenne pepper aud
water, and thrust into mice holes, will free the house from mice.
In trimming a kerosene oil lamp, remove the charred part of
the wick by pinching it off with a piece of paper. If the wick is
frayed, even it with a sharp pair of scissors.
To mend china, mix together equal parts of fine glue, white of
an egg and white lead, and with it paint the edges of the article to
he mended. Press them together until hard and dry, and then
scrape off the cement that sticks above the joint.
For the sting of a bee or wasp, nothing is better to neutralize
the poison than fine cut tobacco dampened and applied to the wound.
A raw onion cut in two and laid on the puncture will also neutralize
the poison in a short time; also a pinch of common salt, slightly
dampened, will soon relieve the pain.
vSilver spoons that have become discolored from contact with
cooked eggs may be easily brightened by rubbing with common salt.
Coal gas and the near presence of rubber in any form will cause
silver to tarnish. One of the pest receptacles for silverware cutlery
is to wrap them in a cotton-flannel knifecase tacked to a door.
Soiled undergarments or the wash cloths ought not bo be put
into a closet. They should be placed in a lare basket and then
placed in a well aired room at some distance from the family. Hav
ing thus excluded one of the fertile sources of bad odors in closets,
the next point is to see that the closets are properly ventilated. It
matters not how clean the clothing is in the closet, if there is no
ventilation there will be a disagreeable and unhealthy odor. Any
garment after being worn for awhile will absorb more or less of the
exhalations which arise from the body, and thus contain an amount
of foreign matter which may lead to some disease. It is equally
important to ventilate daily every sleeping room in use in the house,
not forgetting the room containing your house plants. Open a door
or window and give the plants a free circulation of air, not necessa
rily letting the cold wind blow directly upon them, but rather from
the opposite side of the room. Plants thus treated quickly respond
to the treatment.

Stock Notes.
In raising calves for the dairy, commence with the breeding.
Never give a horse medicine through his nostrils. It has killed
many an animal.
Sometimes calves have fits, the result of indigestion. Correct
the errors of feeding.
If horses have pinworms, try an injection of soapsuds and weak
tobacco tea night and morning.
• When the bull’s hair is rough and looks dead, feed a good quan
tity of oilcake and card him thoroughly.
Scrofula
I bequeath to my children Scrofula with all its
attendant horrors, humiliation and suffering. This is a
strange legacy to leave to posterity; a heavy burden to
place upon the shoulders of the young.
This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders
the growth and development of the faculties, and the
child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage,
is poorly equipped for life’s duties.
Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied
symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck
and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreadful
skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the
presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous
and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attacks
the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in
white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and
a gradual wasting away of the body.
S. S. S. combines both purifying and tonic properties, and is guaran-
S. —. —i teed entirely vegetable, making it the ideal remed)- in
lall scrofulous affections. It purifies the deteriorated
blood, makes it rich and strong and a complete and
NO) permanent cure is soon effected. S. S. S. improves
the digestion and assimilation of food, restores the
lost properties to the blood and quickens the circulation, bringing a healthy
color to the skin and vigor to the weak and emaciated body.
