several years to clean up the bad

has a steady reduction in
the rate of taxation. In 1874, it

In 1880, it had fallen to cents.
In 1894, it is cents. This is
what faithful, capable Democrats
have done. But this is not all-
They have done this
great reduction, thus saving so
much to the people, while doing
a vast needed work for education
and benevolence. They have
completed no less than seven
public institutions, name-
The Western Insane Asylum;
the the Goldsboro
Insane Asylum for the colored;
the Agricultural and Mechanical
college for whites, and one for
the colored also; the Normal and
Industrial School for Young

RAILWAY FIGURES.
Some Interesting Ones Gathered by
a German Publication.
The latest number of the railway
journal published by the German
government, the
prints a tabular state-
of the features of the
railways of the world at the end of
the year which at that time
had a total length of miles.
While the value of the minuteness
with which the length is given may
be open to question, the care taken
in the collection and compilation of
the statistics Is generally considered
to warrant the acceptance of these
German figures as fairly exact. Of
the total length, America is credited
with miles and with
miles. In Asia, Africa and
Australia the railway systems are
still comparatively insignificant, for
in Africa there are but
in Asia miles, of which
miles are in British India and 1.875
in Japan; in Australia, miles.

people ate the flesh of dogs and cats,
and many cases of cannibalism were
recorded. There were famines In
England 1861,1316,1330, 1318 and
and general distress prevailed
also In both England and in
1748, and 1705. The great
Irish famines of 1814, 1810, 1822,

The title page of the bulletins of the
North Carolina Agricultural
Station has been somewhat
changed in appearance. Now the sub-
of the publication is given the
prominent part no that the readers can
easily see what the bulletins contain.
The Chestnut and Ire
It is a well known fact that the weevil
damages to a great extent the chestnut
a a market crop. This is made
of bulletin of the North Carolina
Experiment Station. The life
of this annoying insect is
and how the parent beetle lays her eggs
in the immature husk or burr of the nut
when still on the tree. The eggs hatch
and if the nuts remain upon
the worms in about ten days bore their
way out and enter the ground to pass
finally into the adult state during the
coming spring. It is altogether
to prevent the beetle from laying
her eggs on the native chestnut trees in
the forests, but in cultivated orchards
of Spanish or Japanese chestnuts the
treatment would be the same as for the
plum For treating the nests,
the following plan successfully followed
by an experienced correspondent is
scald the nests by-
plating a bushel or so in a tub, pour
enough boiling water over them to
one or two inches. . Stir with a stick,
allow to remain about five minutes, and
the nuts come to the surface
and can be skimmed off and destroyed
or fed to hogs. Put the good nuts in
bags half full, and dry in the sun,
shake and manipulate freely to hasten
drying. The kernels thus treated re-
main soft and do not get flinty.
The Army
The weather this has been ex-

worms of which we have two general
namely. the
southern army worm, and
the northern army worm.
This year the latter genus is the more
common but both are troublesome.
These worms prefer soft green millet,
corn, small grain, grass, and clovers.
The southern worm eats fruit and veg-
They do not molest cotton,
cow peas, peanuts, or nor can
they damage dry cured fodder, or
ripened gram shocked or standing in
field. They never damage fodder or
grain in barn.
When these worms at-
tack a grass or forage field cut the crop
at once and haul into barn or rake up
into windrows as soon as cut. Have a
man follow and spray or sprinkle with
kerosene emulsion, or pure kerosene
oil, or boiling hot water upon the worms
which will be found covering the
ground. The forage may then be cured
a. usual in field. To prevent advancing
worms from getting into a field, plow a
long, wide and deep furrow across their
line of or B feet outside the
field to be protected. The land side
must be towards the protected field,
and should lie cut under if practicable.
When the advancing worms have half
filled this furrow pile straw or dry pine
tags upon them and fire; or plow an-
other furrow just inside the last, throw-
the dirt upon the worms. or
stamp this hard. Repeat furrows as
often as necessary. When crossing
roads or bare ground the worms may be
crushed by driving a heavy roller over
them, or kerosene may be sprayed upon
them or dry straw or litter may be scat-
tired. They may be

desirable when the crop is to be utilized
as forage. As soon as full grown the
worms will enter the ground and
change to the dormant pupa slate in
which they will remain spring.
Fields in which the worms have worked
this fall should be plowed
rolled heavily or stamped as soon as the

pupae so deeply they will not reach the
surface in spring. Fall crops may be

Crimean Clover In 1894.
A crop of seed per acre.
It is worth while to spread the fact
to every that this clover can and
will bring dollars to him if he will but
grow it.
This crop starts and grows to full ma-
and dies between August and the
following June. It will start among corn,
cotton, or other crops and need not in-
with the crop for the latter part
of the season in which it is sown.
When the summer crop is gone, crimson
clover takes the soil and provided it is
not too poor, covers it with verdure and
increases its fertility while preventing
the unsightly washing which frequent-
occurs without its presence. It only
holds the ground for a short time in
spring against other crops. If grazed,
no delay need be experienced in plowing
for early crops but we would plow
other ground first, as the later this is
left more good it will do and
land, and the better it will be for the
following crop.
If it is made into hay the last of April
will see it harvested and the weather
will be propitious for In-
deed, it may well be questioned if it
would not be better, for a cotton crop, to
have the land in this clover for hay to
cut at the time when cotton has usually
hardly started in sickly yellow growth,
and then turn the land at once and
the cotton. The roots and stab-
will have mellowed the soil and
added a rich supply of plant food to
the cotton crop and save a heavy
ill for fertilizers. If the crop is late
it will doubtless make up the time in
more rapid growth and if it is not quite
so far advanced when bolls begin to
rot some years in August, it may be as
well for the crop. At any rate corn can
be planted after crimson clover has
baas cut for hay or seed, and will find
its best development after such a crop.
Now is the time to purchase seed and
start to this valuable crop.
Seed is cheaper than for years before
We would advise those who start to
least save their own seed.
To show some of the possibilities in
crop, a statement is appended of
the crop grown on the experiment
farm fas 1894. This is only what any
farmer may equal or exceed, but it
shows a profitable use of land for the
winter months. Of four acres in clover
were harvested in good order while
acres were storm-beaten when ripe.
The yield of seed in hulls on the unhurt
portion was 1487 pounds per acre,
valued at cents per pound, a total of
844.61 per acre. On the storm-beaten
portion the yield was pounds per
acre with a value of per
acre. This straw has been fed just as
though it were prime hay. and teams
have worked as usual on it with usual
food. Corn crop on the land is now
better because clover has been grown
there. After the clover off, the
land plowed well, although elsewhere
it was rather too dry to plow. The soil
was darker colored ore and
rowed easily to a fine seed bed. We
could but consider this soil permanent-
improved.
A great quantity of seed has been
grown in this year and grow-

found that the branches have rooted

meal is a very valuable
for grapes, as well as other fruits.
Grapes especially require it and can be
greatly improved by its application.
The phosphoric acid present is the ma-
most utilized by the roots; there
is some nitrogenous material present
also, especially in fresh bones. It would
pay to buy bones at S 10.00 per ton and
grind them in a hand mill if the mill is
effective and grinding will not cost you
much. The charring of the bone
liberates the nitrogenous material and
hence some of the value is lost. The
same action results when bones are left
to bleach in the sun. It would pay to
break the bones as fine can be con-
done to be planted near the
vines, ft is not an uncommon thing to
find roots of the grape vine entwining
themselves completely around a piece
of bone in the soil. The in-
