In 1872 I suggested the use of paris green to de stroy this iR'st, and iu 1873, confidently recom mended it for the purpose in an address which was very generally copied in southern journals. Tlie planters in the more southern portions the cotton belt, who, after the war, and while struggling against many ud verse influen ces, had seen their crops ruined year after year, and ??? become well nigh discouraged, hailed this soldier-bag; the jaws of the lion are fur weak er than those of mi unt; the tongue of a lizard .shorter than thut of a hawk-moth. What is the ar chitecture of tlie beaver by the side of that of tlie bee? Compare the jumping of a kangaroo with that of alien; the fecundity of the herewith tout of the aphis or termite, the queen of which will lay mi egg a second for twenty-four hours; the climb ing oi the squirrel with that of a lly; the swiftness ???of the antelope with Unit of a siciudcia, and you will find that, if the acta be measur'd bv tlie size of the actors, insects invariably carry off the jailm. The electricity of the gymnoius or of the torpedo; the horns of the stag and rhinoceros; the burrow ing of the mole; the phosphorescence of the jelly fish; the changing colors of the chameleon, arc all reproduced and intensified in the ??????reduviusserra- tii!>," the stag, and rhinoceros-beetles, the mole- cricket, the glow-worm or tire-flics, and the tortoise- beetles. Iu short, there is hardlv a striking peculi arity among other animals that does not find its counterpart among insects; while these, again, pre sent ns with many most remarkable habits mid pe culiarities which find no lairallel in the rest of the animal kingdom. The popular contempt for insects is only equaled by thegem-ral lack of Information about them. Few, even among tlie better educated, have any very exact idea what constitutes an insect and dis tinguishes it from the rest of thcnnimal kingdom. Sidney Smith, that great wit and philanthropist and one of the founders of the Edinburgh Review, ill describing the trials and torments incident to tropical life, talks seriously on page 81, of Ills '???Wanderings in South America,??? of insects with eleven legs, of others with nine wings and of cater pillars with numerous eyes 111 the belly! It would lie about us sensible for me to talk to you about rats with eleven legs, tigers, with nine heads or lions with eyes staring from the tips of their tails; yet Sidney Smith???s description of tropical insects will pass even to-ilnv among many otherwise well edu cated people, while any such description of rats, tigers anil lions as 1 have supposed wquld lie laugh ed at by tlie veriest child. No insect has eleven legs; no insect has nine wings and none hare eyes in their belly. Insects have ail important part to play in the economy of nature. They net as scavengers in re moving offensive animal and vegetable material Which would otherwise poison the air we breathe; ??? they fertilize our plants many of whieli could not, indcid, exist without tlicir insect poiliuizcrs; they furnish foist for hosts of other animals, anil in many other ways uie indirectly lieuefieiiil to man. Nay, they are essential to his very existence for if some of the lower supports in the complicated structure of the living world which has man for its apex and outcome, wore to be removed, the whole structure would topple over or collapse. We also receive some direct benefits from insects ns the honey, wax, lac, silk, cochineal, canthar- Ides, etc., of commerce hear witness; but the direct benefit which man derives irom insects is insignificant compared with the immense injury which lie sustains from species which ravage his crops, and it is in the economic hearings of ento mology that the science assumes an importance to the agriculturist that commands hi- attention, how ever little he may be interested in . the other bear ings of the subject. Whenever we begin to carefully estimate the losses which, ns a nation, we sustain from insect ravages, the figures always startle, and you will doubtless ia' surprised to learn that they have reached in a single year nearly 8100.000,000. Now, it is, in my judgment, one of the highest C rivileges and prerogatives of the entomologist to e al.lc to point out to the farmer how bis insect enemies may Ir-m be controlled, i.e., how best to decrease their Injury and save to the nation ns much as possible of the vast annual loss it sustains thereby. 1 say this because there are men who think that it is beneath them and ignoble to make practical application of science, and the average en tomologist deems that he is doing far nobler work in describing sonic new species, or in tediously working at some problem of classification, than he, who. delving for life, secrets or patiently unravel ing some biological problem, dissevers truths of practical moment to man, and which serve to pro mote the general prosjierity of the people. gives permanent strength.

The means within man???s power in combatting his insect enemies are two-fold???preventive andeura- tlve. The first is infinitely the most satisfactory and always requires exact entomological knowledge of the particular species to be dealt with. The cure oi the evil is also often impossible without special entomological knowledge, but gives scope in addi tion for mechanical and chemical experiment. It may also bo brought about by the encouragement of the natural enemies of the insect to bo dealt with. It often seems as though man were utterly power less before some particular insect as it sweeps over his fields with uresistable impulse, carrying de struction in its wake, and the disposition in face oi any general calamity of this kind is too often one of passive acquiescence in what is considered inevitable. Such visitations are too often looked upon as dispensations of Provi dence which it is futile to oppose, and proud man ???acknowledges himself helpless before his foe so in significant' individually???collectively so mighty. Yet In the majority of eases this helplessness Is the result simply of ignorance. There is u weak and vulnerable i>oint in the life of every insect if we can only mnnage by study and perseverance to dis cover it. Let me now, gentlemen, make a direct applica tion of these general remarks by taking for my im mediate text two insects which as cotton growers you are more particularly interested in, viz: The cotton worm and the boll worm. the corrox worm. You all know some things about this insect Under the various aliases of cotton worm, caterpil lar, army worm or old French chenille, it has been A dread to the cotton grower, of the United States ???since the beginning of the century. A native of Central and South America, its advent in the north ern iwrtlon of the continent was no doubt coetane- ous with the introduction and cultivation of cotton. Appearing m destructive numbers at irregu lar intervals, it was looked upon as ah unmitigated evil entirely beyond man???s control. Owing to causes which I have not now time to consider, its injuries have been more persistent and frequent since the late fratricidal strife than previous to that memorable epoch in our historv and no year now passes but the' worm lays heavy toll on the crop in some portions of the cotton belt. The most careful statistics, come pleted at mv request by the leading agricultural statistician in the country, show that during the period from 1865 to 1879 the average annual loss to the cotton growers from this cause was fifteen mil lion dollars, while in some years it reached nearly double that sum. On . the principle -of ???a penny saved is a penny earned.?????? this Is so much stolen from your pockets. Since 1873 notwithstanding increased acreage the - loss has bceeu less, owing to the more general adoption of methods for repressing the worm. It at first seems astonishing that with such large losses to the staple crop no svstematic attempt should have been made bv the people of the South to overcome this-the planter's worst enemy: that no enthusiastic natu ralist should have arisen among vou either before or After the war to take hold of the problem and at least summon all the aid that science and intelli gence could bring to bear to solve it. I have heard It remarked even that the lethargy in this direction woe characteristic of the South and might be traced to the paralyzing effect of slavery US, 1 had _ remedy with profouud joy, and many were tlie touching expressions of appreciation and thankful ness which I received from various quarters. Men more zealous for their own gain than for the public welfare patented various combinations of Haris green and other arsenical poisons, and did a lucra tive business in selling rights to use their vnriotis compounds under names that conveyed no- idea of their nature, T hey all had arsenic iu some form os base, and feeling that the i??teiitees were, in great measure, imposing on the public, I used my pen and influ ence to stay the impositions. The period between 1875 and 1878 was one of activity in the improve ment of appliances for using the poisons, but they ull had for their object the throwing of these last in liquid or jmwdcr, broadcast over the plants. Although I had long felt that the subject was one of the greatest importance, well deservingthe atten tion of the national government, the opportunity to begin a thorough investigation of it was first offered in 1878,when, as entomologist to the Depart ment of Agriculture, aud with the hearty assistance of Senator Morgan of Alabama, and other southern senators aud representatives, I secured a small ap propriation of 33,000 for the purpose. The investi gation has not been without obstacles and difficul ties. During the first two years the prevalence of yellow fever was an impediment, uudasthe mod i literesting sections, from the cotton worm stand point, are the most malarious and unhealthy, and observations must be made during tbe night well as by day, fuw of my agents have escaped sickness after a summer???s work in tbe field Professor Barnard, who is here with me now in charge of the machinery on exhibition beneath this hall, and to whose perseverance and ingenuity we owe various important mechanical contrivances, was so seriously ill at Selma last full that I at once almost despaired of getting him hack safe to his home in tne north. I mention these facts because the synopsis of results which I shall now endeavor to present to you will convey no ade quate idea of the time and labor involved iu getting at the truths which, once obtained, appear simple enough. What Is missed is mystery; what is hit is history, and you have all no doubt laughed at the simplicity of some feat or trick of legerdemain after ft was once explained, where before you had puz zled your heads in vain for the explanation. Na ture???s truths are all simple when we have once learned to read them, but tbe key to unlock them is generally revealed to us only after much patient mid intelligent search in field and laboratory. NATIONAL UISTOUVOF THE COTTON WORM. Here you have, illustrated a worm which.you are all more or less familiar with in its general as pects anil its consequences. It belougs to the same order(Lepidoptera) as the silkworm. The one indus triously spins for us that mot lustrous and unc- nualed fiber that plays such an important part in tne commerce of the world, aud was for a long time a fit emblem of royalty: while the other is bent on destroying that fiber which, though less rich and costly. Is more important to the multitude. The one by study, experience and experiment, mail has succeeded in artificially propagating; the other, by the same methods, he may succeed In destroy ing. Oinno vivum ab ovo. All life comes from an egg. Modem .scieneeconfimis this Liniuenn aphorism Onrcotton worm invariably hatches from an egg and the very common belief among planters that it husa spontaneous origin, orin some way comes from cotton seed iscbiUlish. The egg is 0.6 mm. wide, circular, much lluttenciland ribbed. Bright, bluish green in color, when first laid, it is attached singly to the underside of the largerand lower leaves and is easily overlooked. In irom two to four daysafter being laid???the time varying with the season??? the young worm hatches. It feeds for a lew days upon the underside of the leaves, making yellowish and semi-transparent blotches. These to the well posted planter betokeu its presence where otherwise it would remain unnoticed. It sheds its skin five times anil acquires full growth in from one to three weeks after hatching, according to the season. It riddles tlie cotton leaf only in the latter half of its worm life and eats more during the last two dayi than during all the rest of its existence. I want }*ou to bear this fact in mind, as it explains the ap- parcnlly sudden appearance of the worm so often remarked upon. When full grown the creature spins a slight-web. usually in a piece of rolled up leaf, and becomes a chrysalis which from its nature must always be formed above ground and cannot burrow beneath the sutface of th?? soil. This state lasts on an average about one week in mid-summer, but two or three times as long in spring or fall. In due time the moth or imago Issues.

The old fashioned punctured sprinklers, and per forated, or gauze sifters with which all are familiar, have proved impractical, because of the fine holes becoming clogged by wet poison and other ma terials. To prevent this, stirring, shaking and yellow or spot equal parts. It rests with the wings forming straight line along the back. It is nocturnal in habit, zesting during the day and taking but a short, startled tlight when disturbed. In the eafly part of the night it is busy feeding and hovering from plant to plant, in flight contrasting strongly with itsdarting day flight. In the latter part of the night aud small hoursof the morning the sex es pairand the female is engaged in ovfiiositing. Its food is chiefly the sacchurine exudation from certain plants on the underside of the midrib oi the leaves and at the bases of the outer lobes of the in volnore, though it will feed ou all sorts of other sweets and is capable of fretting tlie surface and sucking the juices of fruits. The time elapsing irom one generation to another varies according to temperature, and therefore ac cording to season. There is increasing activity and acceleration in development from the first appes ance till July, and thenceforth decreasing activity and retardation in development till frost. Thus in midsummer the whole cycle of individual life, from the hntchiug to procreation, may occupy less than three weeks: while in spring and late autumn it may occupy twice that time. Taking the whole season through, however, the time from the egg of one generation to that of another will average aboi one month. The first worms appear much earlier than was tormerly supposed, viz: from the middle of April ill the middle of May In the southern portion of fthc cotton belt The fact that these early worm generally attract no attention, and that the species seldom acquires disastrous force till tne third generation, bas given rise to the erroneous notion of later first appearance. There are also many more generations than has been sup posed, seven or more being produced toward the llul r thn fact Atwfiinntv till f tvscT an fa I# n fT Whan bottom 8*4 by 8 inches or larger, and holding io'o la gallons ot water.

WASHING WITHOUT LABOR! A WONDERFUL INVENTION. In 1871, Mr. II. R, Robbins, of Baltimore invented and pau'ntcd the now famous ROBBINS??? FAMILY WASHER AND BLEACHER. It was the original, and as now improved, is the best and only perfect self-operating Washer in the world. It will do all the family washing in less than half the time in which it ??????an be done in any other way. without hand labor, with but very little soap, with out chemicals and without any wear and tear or yellowing of Clothes. More than fi fty thousand of these Washers are now in use, giving perfect satisfaction. We have thou sands o. t< stimonials from all parts of the country, from Public Institutions. Hotels, Clergymen, Law ??? yers,. Farmers, Editors and every class of people, and we have the Editorial Commendations of all principal papers In the land. In 1878 The Bissell Manufacturing Company pur chased the patent for the Washer and after two years careful experimenting succeeded in simplify ing the Washer, and in adapting it to use in any style and size of boiler as also in the old fashioned iron wnsh-|iot so much used In the south (in which the original Robbins??? Washer would not work) and obtained a reissue of their patent on the 21st day oi December, 18S0. THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WASHER , The operation of the Washer consists in rapidly and continuously forcing the hot soap suds con tained in the boiler from the bottom to the surface, through a tub at the rate of ten gallons per minute and then drawing it down again THROUGH THE SOILED CLOTHING, while that is expanded by the boiling heat???causing it to remove every particle of dirt and leaving the articles after rinsing thorough ly cleaned and bleached. It is impossible for it to tear or wear, or in any way to injure the fabric, as there fs no friction whatever. HOW DOES THE WASHER WORK? The Waslisr having been ptaced in the bottom of the boilor or pot, as soon as the water commences to boil all that which is beneath it, being surrounded with heated metal becomes hotter and more expan sive than that iu the remainder of the boiler, and thus has a tendency to rise through tlie tubs, while at the same time all the steam formed beneath the Washer is FORCED to pass out and through the tube, and carriies along with it the water In the washer and tube with grent force, its place being supplied by tho water outside, which is rapidly drawn into the washer and in turn heated and ex' pelted, thus creating a constant aud powerful cur rent upward through the tube and downward TH ROUGH THE FABRIC, giving a WATER FORCE which cannot he obtained in any other way. The fabric being expanded to the utmost by the boiling water, the dirt, softened by the action of the soap, is at once swept away by the force of the flow. Thus we have, 1st, Thcgreatest possible heat; 2d. Perfectly chemical action of the soap, and 3d. Force of water. All of which are necessary to thoroughly clcanse and purify any fabric. WHAT IS IT THAT CLEANSES the Clothes In ordinary modes of washing by rubbing, pounding, squeezing, drawing between rollers, etc.? It is the filling of the fabrics with soap suds os hot ns may ^be (BOILING heat, being unattainable especially in hand rubbing) and then FORCING IT OUT again, and repeating the process until tlie clothes are clean. But all of these processes require HAND LABOR. You must turn or pound, or squeeze or rub; there is little choice between them, while with the ROBBINS??? WASHER THE LABOR IS DISPENSED WITH, and any other works of the hire sc may be done while the washing is DOING ITSELF. THE CAPACITY OF THE WASHER, There are two sizes, the No. lor family size, which works in any family boiler or wnsh-not having a The present number of communicants in the Protestant Episcopal church iu Tennessee is 2,738.

But the greatest advance in this line is shown in our automatic sprinkler, which entirely does away with thelabor of operating them.

We have rotary fan blowers for throwing fluid poison. We have bellows blowers in combination with a plow or cultivator, whereby the cotton may be poisoned while it is being cultivated. Wc have further compound fountain sprinkler through which the water may be forced by a pump o- bv gas pressure or by gravitation. In the simplest and best machine we have contrived the water is forced through a system of dichotomously branching tubes, the lost fork flexible so as to hug and sprin kle two rows from beneath. The flexibility allows no breakage in pipes, and the trailing flexible forks adapt themselves to crookedness and varia tions in the width of rows. The advantages of the triangular, tripod, tricycle frame are that it conforms to all irregularities in all directions. It cannot tip over; it forms the base of a pyramid supporting the barrel of poison; it turns easily and snort as upon a pivot; it pulls easi ly and it opens and shuts to suit the width of the rows. _ ???

This was about the state of t Iii nip when I com menced using Warner???s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I took about six tablespoonfuls every day for a week, when I found all my lymptoms decidedly improved, and at the end of two weeks it was difficult to detect any trace of albumen.
