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. Ignorance.

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.

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. Secret of American Success.

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.
