In addition to being a chemical bu

law a bureau of information for the
benefit of the farmers of the State.
Every farmer has the right to apply to
the Station for any information which
science should supply, and if the Sta
tion has no expert m the special de
partment of inquiry in its immediate
employ, it will take due steps to secure
the information desired from some of
its corresponding scientists. In addi
tion to information on all agricultural
chemical subjects, including the com
position and value of fertilizers, the
production of fertilizers, composts, &c,
at home, and our resources for making
the same, the analysis of soils, marls,
mucks, waters, minerals, ores, feeding
stuffs, and the examination of seeds, for
which we have apparatus and experts
in our own laboratories, and arrange
ments with scientific experts have been
perfected whereby examinations of bo
tanical material, such as grasses, weeds,
uncommon plants, of insects injurious
to vegetation, of diseases of domestic
animals, etc., as mentioned in para
graphs 2 4, section 2189 of the Code,
can be made through the agency of
the Experiment Station. Full credit

grasshopper parasite (Trombidium lo-
custorum, Riley) sent by Dr. J. S. De-
vane, rJnnkland. Identified by Froi.
Riley, U. S. Dept. Agriculture. This
is a common mite, a full description in
the Report U. S. Ent. Com., 1877,
p. 300. An enemy of the locust. When
the locust fills the ground with its eggs
this mite sucks them. It also fastens
itself on the bodies of locusts and grass
hoppers, as in this specimen, and sucks
their juices until it swells up and looks
like an excrescence on the larger insect.
2790. Mr. J. S. Lane, Stonewall, sent
to the Station r some bugs that were
"very troublesome on squash and pump
kin vines.11 They were the common
Squash Bug. The U. S. Dept. Ani-
cnlture recommends sprinkling the
vines with diluted kerosene emulsions.
Others have found that insect powder.
Pvrethrum, either mixed with cheap
flour or stirred up in water, will destroy
the bugs. They can also be trapped by
pieces of board, &c, laid near the plants
and to be examined every morning,
when the bugs which have leathered
under the boards can be killed.
3190. A gentleman in Lenoir county
sent me last March a piece of the heart
of the hog with this statement : "Last
Wednesday I killed and cut up a hoz
that weighed 183 lbs., and found the
things which I send you in this vial all
through the lean part of the meat, and
also in tne neart. l bev seem to be m
rows, two or three in a row. The hog
was fat, but it took a long time to fat
ten him. The hogs look like thev have
the mapge, draw up and will not grow
Their noses look too large. Thev eat
well, and sometimes live a vear and
then die. I have written this, and send
the things to get help or advice how to
Help myself.
lhe following was our report:
The vesicles are the encysted form of
a common tape-worm, or cysticercus
cellulosus. The disease in hogs is
known as "Measles," and is usually
contracted in the first case by access to
the excrement of persons harboring a
tape-worm (Taenia solium). It is
likely that all of the hogs in the range
with this one, as described in your
letter, are infested with this dangerous
parasite. This parasite has three stages
of life, or forms: j
First The eggs, which come in mul
titudes from the fully developed tape
worm or third stage, and mav be taken
into the hogs or man's svstem from
the excrement of a person having tape
worm, or in drinkiiig-water. salads and
other vegetable substances eaten raw nr
partly cooked. The eggs, thus taken,
work into the muscular system, espe
cially the muscles of the throat and
heart. This is a severe and dangerous
disease in the human, producing an
irritation of the muscles and getting
into the brain, it causes a painful death.
oecona in tne muscles or. the man.
or hog, the eggs multiply and lodge
themselves in these cells. The cells
are apt to be larger about the throat
and heart, though they infest and irri
tate all the muscular tissues. In this
form it is known as cysticercus cellulosus.
Third Now let a man eat some of
this meat, uncooked or imperfectly
Cooke 1, with the cysticercus still alive
in it, and one of the little worms from
the inside of these cells will lodge in
the alimentary canal and rapidly de
velop there into that enonnous parasite
known as taenia solium, or tape-worm.
Of course it is your duty to destroy
all this meat. and. as it is almost cer
tain that the other hogs described have
the disease too, you should isolate them
from all other animals at once and kill
them as soon as possible. You might
work their carcasses into soap grease
and use the residue when thoroii?hlv
boiled, as a fertilizer. It is such a
dangerous thing, both to hogs and men,
that I am sure you will use every pre
caution. A similar case was found at
Hickory in 1883. It is not an uncom
mon disease, and swine breeders ought

A Woman's Terrible Affliction.
Philadelphia Press
A very nattv two horse brougham
stopped with a flourish at the corner of
Spruce and Eleventh streets vesterdav
afternoon. Its varnish was a dark olive
and a crest was painted in crimson on
each door. The negro coachman on
the box shivered under his cape of sable
until the cockade on his hat shook.
His face was a dirty gray in hue not
unlike dish water.
A prim English waiter bounced bare
headed down the steps of the house be
fore which the carriage stopped and
opened the door for two bef urred ladies.
The elder of the pair, who was evident
ly the mistress of the carriage and man
sion, turned and looked anxiously at
the coaehman as soon as she alighted.
Me trembled more than ever and cow
ered beneath his csipe.
"James," said the mistress in a griev
ed tone, "it's happened again."
"Can't help it, missus," answered the
coachman, in a voice of resignation.
"Well, don't keep the horses stand
ing,"' said the lady, petulantly.
As the caarriage disappeared around
the corner she turned to her compan
ion and said, desparingly:
"I really don't know what I'll do."
"Why, what' the matter, my dear?"
was the sympathetic response.
"I sent clear to South Carolina," the
elder woman replied, "to get a man to
match my brougham. He was a real
olive green and I was delighted all sum
mer. Why you don't know how many
congratulations I received on my taste
at the City Troop races. But now the
cold weather's come, he turns that
nasty gray. The wretch, I believed he
would, and I paid"
The door or the house closed on the
injured woman, and a man on the side
walk, who had heard her plaint, said:
"Great Scott!"
True to Life.
New York Herald.
Romeyn, a Montclair (N.J.) boy,
aged five, converses with his friend of
equally mature years, as follows:
liomeyn My pa is going to get me
a goat.
Fairchild I've got twenty goats. ,
R. Where are they?
F.-Oh, they are down in New York
in pa's office.
It. Why don't you bring them here?
F. They're sick.
A pause. Finally Romeyn speaks:
I saw Anthony's Nose tliis summer.
F. I saw Anthony himself.
R. Anthony's Nose is a rock, and
it broke off and fell into the water.
F. I saw it fall.
Romeyn's mother, an interested lis
tener, at this point deemed it expedient
to interpose with a moral lesson. "Why,
Fairchild," said she, "did you ever hear
of Ananias and Sapphire?"
F. I know them both.
R's mother You know, Fairchild,
thev were struck dead for telling lies.
r. Yes, I saw them struck.
R's mother Fairchild, do you know
where they? (Very impressively)
They went to hell.
F. I know it. 1 saw them go.

The following is an Arabic proverb
which we have taken down from the
mouth of an Oriental;
Men are four
He who knows not, and knows not
he knows not. He is a fool; shun him.
He who knows not, and knows he

He who knows, and knows not he

He is wise; follow him. X. Y, Inde

iv In a Buggy.
Tuesday Mr. Frank J. Childers, of
Rowan, and Miss S. J. Shoemaker, of
this county, drove up in front of the
office of E. B. Stimson, Esq., of this place,
and calling him out indicated a at sire
to be married. Mr. Childers produced
a license and the magistrate, calling
up a witness, proceeded to marry the
couple as they sat in the buggy in the
street. The ceremony over the groom
laid whip to his "beast," and the couple
sailed away. StatesvUle Landmark.
Two years ago the Chinese residents
of New York built a temple for a god
they had brought over from China. On
Saturday they finished a new and much
finer temple and secretly moved their
god to his new quarters. The event
was celebrated with much feasting and
Ariramff with Ala. Stenhens
Gencrcl Longstreet tells the following
good story. 4,On occasion certain of the
confederate leaders were discussing the
matter of putting the. negroes into the ar
my. I was against the policy, but those
above me sent me over to Aleck Stephens,
with instructions to try to convert him to.
the policy of putting the negroes in. I
rode over from camp tow Here Mr. Stephens
was, and after a short conversation brought
up the subject I was to speak with him on.
No sooner had I done so than he hopped
up and made me a,speeeh of "over an hour's
length. You can imagine my feelings.
When he concluded and sat down we talk
ed of other matters for a while, and then I
casually mentioned the negroes auain. Up
jumped little Aleck . and made me another
speech of an hour or so's length. I, alone
auditor, sat it through. He finished, sat
down and we had a short conversation on
other topics. A third time I ventured to
speak of the negroes and up hopped the
great commoner and made me another
speech. When he sat down I stole a glance
at my watch. It was two o'clock in the
morning. I bade Mr. Stephens good night
and rode back to camp. I reported that I
w as perfectly willing to go on with the
war but it anybody wanted Aleck Stephens
argued into anything they'd have to send
some one else not me.
The Rise In Iron.
At linta Constitution.
Steel rails have advanced from $26 the
ruling price last summer-to $34 at present
for delivery in 1886. The rail mills agreed
to limit production to 775,000 tons, and al
ready orders for nearlv that amount have
been booked, and the allotment has been
increased to 1.000,000 tons. The full ca
pacuy oi ine ran mi us in me country is
only 1,200,000 ton; so it appears the de
mand may equal the productive capacity
oi the mills. J hese orders have come in
in the course of three months, and if the
"boom" is maintained there will be ac
uviiy in ai least one orancn oi tlic iron
trade.
The activity in the imn trade is not con
fined to steel rails. Wire rods, which are
consnmed in immense quantities, are stiff
at increased and increasing prices. Nails
command better figures, and there is a pre
valent tecum: that iron is a good thm to
speculate in. Such a feeling generally
creens in nisi oeiore an advance an aionr
a C
the whole line. If iron is the true Imrometer
of business, it follows that better times are
ahead; for the iron market is more promis
ing than it has been in two years.

East America is Drying Up.
A pessimistic account of the forest des
truction in Eastern America is given by a
writer in the Southern Bitouac, from whit h
it seems that if "the progress of tree-des
truction in the Western Alleghcnies should
continue at the present rate the vearlv
inundations of the Ohio Valley will soon
assume an appallinir mairnitude, and ere
long t he sceiu-s of the river subuibs of Louis
ville and Cincinatti will repeat themselves
at Nashville and Chattanooga, while the
summers will become hotter and drier. In
the Gulf States the work of desiccation has
made alarming progress brooks and
streams shrink from year to year and warm
summers expose the gravel of river-beds
which hltv years ago coh!! hardly betouch-
ed by the keels of t heavy-laden vessels.
East America is drying up; even in the par
adise of the blue grass region the failing ol
springs has obliged many sto k-raiscis to
remove their herds to the mountains."

At a certain battle of the late war a
Federal chaplain happened to get into
the vicinity of a battery of artillery
which was hotly engaged. The Con
federate shells were plowing furrows
about the guns, ami the cannoneers
were grimly and actively at work to
answer shot for shot. The chaplain
addressed himself to a Sergeant, who
was very efficient but at the same time
rather profane, in the following words:
"My friend, if you go on this way how
can you expect the support of Divine
Providence " "Ain't expectin' it," said
the Sergeant. "The Ninth New Jer
