The Recital.
The Musical and Literary recital,
given at the Methodist Church, last
Thursday evening, drew a large con
gregation, notwitlistanding a disa
greable rain was falling.
The first thing on the program was
a song and drill, participated in by
forty or fifty children, who deligted
the audience by the correctness of
their steps and sweet voices.
Following this were solos, readings,
duets and quatetts, all the performers
acquitting themselves in a most ad
mirable manner, each one deserving
special mention, hut as there were so
many who took part, it would take up
too much space to particularize, hence
we conclude that all who were on the
program can rest assured that their
efforts were highly appreciated.
It is not often that an entertain
ment is given in Columbia resulting
in such universal expression of praise.
Miss Rose Hyde lias the honor of ar
ranging for this evening of enjoj'
ment, her Sunday-School class partici
pating, also many of her outside
friends.
There was no admission fee, but
free-will offerings of silver made up a
purse ot twenty-live dollars which will
be used in beautifying the interior of
the church building.

; How to
Prevent the
Splitworm-
Tobacco
Transplant the tobacco crop as early
as possible in order to mature it be
fore the appearance of the most de
structive generation of the tobacco
splitworm, advises bulletin No. 59 of
the Department of Agriculture, in
making recommendation for the con
trol of this worm. When the early
infectation is very severe, prime off
and destroy the affected leaves, destroy
all tobacco stubble as soon as the crop
is harvested to prevent the breeding
of a hibernating generation; clean up
and destroy all trash in and around
fields and tobacco barns; do not fol
low potatoes by tobacco if the infecta
tion of tobacco has been more severe
in such cases than were different rota
tion was followed: grow potatoes as
far as possible from tobacco fields
In Cuba and the United States the
splitworm is known on tobacco as a
leaf-miner only. Only the older to
bacco leaves are affectad unless the
infestation is very severe; and in these
the lower leaves, grayish, irregular
blotches are produced, which later
turn brown and become fragile so that
the tobacco is unfit for wrappers. At
Clarksville, Teun , where the infecta
tion is very slight, the larva in most
cases begins work in the "ruffles"
along the midrib and they afterwards
migrate and form mines in various
parts of the leal.

POISONED ENSILAGE.
Dr. Casfey MaKes Report on Deaths
of Stock in Other Part of
Kentucky.
Dr. II. L. Casey, Assistant Veterin
ary in the Department of Agriculture
has re turned to Danville from a trip
to Adair county where he went at the
direction of State Commissioner of
Agriculture, J. W. Newman, to in
vestigate the death of eleven horses
within thirty-six hours from defective
ensilage
Dr. Casey found that the ensilage in
question had developed ptomaine
poison from mouldy ccrn and that
this was the cause of death to the
stock. Several cases have been re
ported of cattle having succuraed to
the same kind of poisoning.
Dr. Casey said he would recommend
that farmers use more care in feeding
ensilage to horses, and that if fed at
all it should be used with an added
ration such as a good hay. However,
it would be better not to feed it to
horses, he said.
"Cattle thrive on good ensilaged,"
said Dr. Casey. "I don't think it
should be fed to working stock, such
as horses or mules. Care should be
taken to detect and destroy mouldy
or defective silage. Danville Messen

county were those owned by Mr. W.
