In our roport of the i of the a i i i i i held in i place last week wo wore a to give all the good i made. The subject of i insects, especially, deserves more men- i The structure 1 a aud i nal a a of insects wore by Prof. Johnson by moans of charts, models and specimens. These object lessons a i great a iu education. Tho Sau Joso scale was ex- i i a microscope and tho fruit-growers took great i in looking at it.

Remedies for combat- ting tho various insect pests were given in It was said a insects do not a their i openings along their sides. He said a tho arsenicals were used for the posts with i i or i ports. Those i sucking mouths, such as tho scale insects, a lice, cabbage bug, stink bug and others have to be treated i kerosene emulsion, whale oil soap, or some other i i a Pres. Silvester, of the A i al College, asked a tho remedy for the control and i of the wcovil in grain, or grain bo given, as ho understood it had boon destructive to stored grains in some paits of the couuty. He also said it was very bad iu Southoru Maryland.

Prof. Johnson said a this was one of the easiest of all iuseots to keep iu check. Tho remedy was the use of bisulphide of corbou, a foul smelling i i clear as water, very volatile, and heavier than water. The being heavier than air, they sink readily through i of stored grain aud destroy all insect i even rats and mice. It can be directly upon the grain without i i its i a i or its edible a i i in the least.

It can be bought in 50 or 100-pound cans at ten cents per pound, or in suitable a i i at twelve cents. The principal a a Mr. Edward R. Taylor, a 0., has i ted a neat illustrated circular on this subject, which he i send to any body, free of charge, who may apply for it. Pres.

Silvester asked also for a remedy for the water-bug', or cockroach. He said he had used powdered borax with fair results, but wanted a better remedy. Prof. Johnson said if insect powder, also as Pyrothoum, or Bubaek. was used it would clean out the place iu a short time.

The powder must be fresh, as the i i property it contains is a volatile oil aud soon disappears where exposed to the air. In reply to a query Prof. Johnson said the flea beetle of the tomato could bo kept iu check by spraying the a with a of a pound of Paris Green in 43 to 50 gallons oC water. The Paris Green could be used i the Bordeaux i i the ssune results. From the question box, the following questions were a be a good spray for general use: Prof.

Johnson answered this by saying that it was uot neecessary to spend from $15 to $25 for a good spraying outfit, lie exhibited a and said it could bo bought from the a facturers from $2.50 to Thou the hose nozzle and barrel could be easily furnished by the buyer. A old oil barrel could be cut down and a cover made for the top. The whole outfit not exceed or $7.00. When is the proper i to spray tomato plants? Prof. Robiusou said they should be sprayed i they were in the bed before beiuj; planted.

This should be followed up by two or three sprayings i the season. ot Col. E. L. ainrtln.

Hallroiid Mutters, Messrs. Redden Murphy, of this place, have closed a contract with the Queen A line's Railroad Company whereby they are to erect the depots at Long's, Hobbs and Hickmau. The lumber for the buildings at these points was purchased this week, and tho work will be begun at once. The structures will be of very neat ap- peaiance, and none but the best materials will be used. The size of the buildings will be 16 by 30 feet, with 12-foot corner posts.

There will be a waiting-room, au office and a light freight room. The inside will be ceiled. Messrs. Redden Murphy were the builders of the depot at this place, and their work was so satisfactory to the company that they have been asked to build the others along the line. Our reporter, through, the courtesy of Engineer Troxel, went over the road ou Tuesday ou the construction train, aud sa3 the track is only about a mile from Denton, and that the road is in splendid shape, and the run from Queen Anne to the pier here was made in twenty-five minutes.

The three- mast schooner, which arrived at the pier last week, loaded with ties, is still here aud not unloaded. There is a claim of salvage by the captain for eleven days awaiting the ties to be cut, and the gentleman who furnished them has not, as yet, reached an agreement with the captain and, as a consequence, there is no telling when she will Qwenstown News. Conductor Maul, who had charge of a construction train on the Queen Anne's Railroad had a leg broken at Queenstown ou Monday. A heavy pole which had been placed between the cugiue and a car, fell ou him. He was taken to Wilmington ou the afternoon train on the D.

and C. road and is receiving treatment at a hospital. The Baltimore papers are noting with much interest the progress toward completion of the Queen Anne's Railroad. It is believed that this line will restore to that city much, of the Peninsula trade which now goes to Philadelphia aud New York. The contract for the new breakwater at the mouth Delaware' bay has been awarded.

It will be an immense structure and will doubtless be an object of much interest to travelers ou the new railroad as well as to mariners.
