The late Roseoe CoDkling’s will leaves all 
bis estate, amounting to $200,000, to Mrs. 
Conkliug. " It was dated 1807, and Surrogate 
Bliss, of Utica, says it was the shortest and 
clearest will he has ever seen. 
Gov. Warmouth’s late sugar crop amounted 
to 2,400,000 pounds from 620 acres of cane. 
When the second and third sugars are ex¬ 
tracted the average per ton will be 220 pounds, 
or 100 pounds more than the product on many 
sugar plantations. 
Sidney Lanier, the Southern poet, is to 
have a monument costing $15,000, and Balti¬ 
more, Montgomery, and Macon will pay the 
largest part of the bill. Had $15,000 been 
raistd for the poor fellow 15 years ago, he 
might be writing poetry to-day. He wanted 
bread; they’re giving him a stone. 
The corner-stone of Claus Spreckels’ new 
beet sugar factory was laid, a week ago, at 
Watsonville. California. He has already in 
San Francisco a $600,000 sugar refinery, one 
of the largest in the country. The capital 
stock of the Watsonville factory is $500,000, in 
5,000 shares, of which Claus owns 4,400. The 
factory will be in running order by the time 
tbh next crop is ready. 
The present Emperor of China had until a 
short time ago eight nurses, 25 farmers, 25 
palanquin-bearers, 10 umbrella-holders, 30 
physicians and surgeons, seven gastroDomical 
directors, 27 inferior cooks, 50 waiters and 
messengers, 50 dressers, and other attendants 
to the number of 400; 75 astrologers, 16 tutors 
and 60 priests cared for his spiritual and mental 
welfare. In spite of all this the Emperor is 
said to be a very worthy and good-natured 
young man. 
The most picturesque potentate in Europe is 
the baby King of Spain, who has just cut his 
first teeth. He is a very large child for his 
age and has the face of an old man. He is to 
be left entirely to the care of women until he 
is seven years of age, when a tutor and mas¬ 
ters will take charge of him until he is 16. At 
that age he will supersede the Queen Regent 
at the head of the Spanish Government. 
Poor boy 1 He will have more glory than 
fun in this world. 
CATALOGUES, ETC., RECEIVED.

ment and can fully recommend it. Mr. 
Wocdason also sells various insecticides. 
Thymo-Cresol.- -Circulars fromT. W. Law- 
ford & Co. This preparation is known as the 
Cold Water Dip, and is very highly recom¬ 
mended by sheep men as a dip for ticks and 
scab. Our readers must know something of 
its merits by this time as we have repeatedly 
referred to it. We have it in use at the Rural 
Farm though we have not yet been able to give 
it a thorough test for animal parasites. As a 
deodorizer it is excellent, and we notice that 
the manufacturers now state that it is berng 
used for spraying plum trees for the curculio.

PEROXIDE OF SILICATES! 
THE GREATEST INSECT DESTROYER YET DISCOVERED. 
Should particularly be prominent at this time of year, when the ravages by insects are the 
most serious. The seed is sown, and the young* plants, full of the promise that hope gives, are 
watched with rnxious care by the industrious husbandman. WHAT SHALL THE HARVEST BE? 
In the best of soils, and given every care, the growing crop is quickly destroyed by insect pests. 
PEROXIDES OF SILICATES should be especially prominent now, because it is the best of all safe¬ 
guards against these insect marauders. In it the Gardener, the Farmer, the Fruit-grower, and 
all who cultivate or have charge of the various useful and ornamental varieties of vegetation 
have a sure remedy and safeguard agains t the innumerable enemies, who will begin and continue 
their depredations until the harvest is gathered. 
Many other remedies are offered and extensively used, and though they may, to a certain extent, 
be useful in their way, the first shower entirely removes them and leaves the crop as defenceless as if 
nothing had been done. PEROXIDE OF SILICATES, properly applied, will adhere tenaciously to 
all kinds of foliage or plants during the weeks of danger, while the besieging enemy continues to 
attack. 
IT IS THE FAITHFUL SENTINEL WHO NEVER SLEEPS NOR LEAVES HIS POST. 
In many cases one application of PEROXIDE OF SILICATES is better than three or four appli¬ 
cations of other insecticides. If you would know more of its merits, study the ‘‘BUG CATECHISM, ” 
and read carefully the “SPECIAL BULLETIN.” If your dealer cannot show you these, and you 
cannot find another dealer that will, then send for Bug Catechism direct to
