At this stage of their existence they are tender and more easily destroyed than at any other stage, which can "be done by the application of Kift soap, or some alkaline wa?h, or probably with Some af plication of kerobcne. Formerly the difficulty lay in the means of the application; now we have many spraying appliances that make kueli application quite an easy tak. After some years of study and endeavor to destroy this pest, we found the eggs we have described had been apparently "sucked" or 'destroyed, and in their stead had been deposited a round and much larger csrg, after which time the bark louse ceaaed to be of consequential notice. We have no doubt they were destroyed or decimated by some overpowering insect, F. C. Curtis, iu Prairie Farmer. ij m UME AS FERTILIZER. Hew to rr-tro It fur CtompeaUna; and MunttriHST l'HrtoM. An Illinois reader writes: "What k the b.t method for slacking1 lime to be used for fertilizing or decomposing purposes? "What should he used for spreading It? I intend to use it on low, loamy, prairie soil." When t:sd for deaonipoinx (coinposting) purposes the process is as follows: 'Die various materials, some wet and some dry, are placed in layers of several inches thick and roughly mixed together. The lime is mixed in layer through the matm; or the mixture is mora property and the as p "ballt mp oaapaetly aa4 west troaefcaa Into a Sax poa, Mmar -wt top ioti sallow to eaten aaa , retain the or if under sover the water that hi thrown upon to moisten. Fermentation soon begins and spreads through the mam. When the heat Has spread through the whole mass, the heap is tnrned and mixed again by beginning at one end an-i forking or fchovcling it over and forming1 a new heap similar to the original one. The exposure to the air and the fresh mingling of the substances soon produce a new fermentation and heat by which the mass its still more dceom poM-d. In a few months ami sooue in the summer the compost becomes n homogeneous maas. It is now manure and, in proportion to the character of the material ued. it is equal to or bet tcr la quality than ordinary farm ma nure. Lime when used as a manure iftfpread over the hind at the rate of twenty to fifty bushels per acre.

BATTLE WITH A SHARK.

Two Bold Smusmr Kay a Ll-raty Tia with a Maa-Bt-. Kfta4t Kwrta Ki l'nn Into the AJrAHr a Matt! the Mmttmr I The ahallow water around Key Watt, Pla., k the home of mlllkme, more or of big man-eating shark, and seareely a day paeaea, says the St. Louia Ulobe-Demoerat, but that one or more are killed from Um wharrea aad in the shallow waters around the island. Two officers of the naval station reeently hail a big experience with a fine specimen of the man-eating variety that will last them for several years, so they say. The other afternoon while near the barracks they saw several huge specimena swimming in the shallow waters, their huge dorsal fiita going in every direction. Arming themselves with a eouple of lieavy-bore rifles they started out. After chasing the '"daddy" of the gang- around for some tune they got close to him and planked two bullets from .44 Winchesters into his ugly body. The big shark leaped clear out of the water on feeling the bullets and came down with a swash, nearly upsetting their boat To their surprise he then lwcame perfectly quiet, and as they thought they had secured a prize without much trouble, they hastily pulled up to him, and, putting a rope around his body, started to tow him to shore. All at once the seemingly dead shark awoke to the ignominious fact that ha was being towed hind-end first into land, and Ida objection was shown very strongly. With a dash of his big tail the end of the lxat was knocked to pioceR, and the two shark fishermen were hurled head over heels about ten feet into six feet of water, with scores of other sharks in close proximity. The big shark started in a circle round the two wet fishermen, the rope trailing beneath him htiil fast to some portions of the boat The shark hunters, however, were not thoroughly cowed by their surroundings, but seizing hold of the rope attempted to stop the shark. As explained afterward, it waa like stopping a locomotive with two hundred pounds of steam on. On feeling the additional weight on the rope, a they grasped it, the shark darted forward with lightning1 velocity, towing the two astonished hunters through the water at a pace they dkl not relish. Bravely they held on for a hundred yards, snd then, finding tlte pace too much for them, they let go especially quick, as the shark was heading out for deeper water. The big shark, finding himself partially free, again turned and came straight for them with a tremendous plunge. As lie came up he turned over on his back, opened wide his capacious month aad mads a dive for one of the men. The batter was spry enough to lad hka, aprusginff Mfk Into the afar as tiss shark aearsd kfaa. By aoasa aalsJnnnfc sMt tywsi fcmisiCs ifcj astraddle of the shark. Instlnetirely his hands eaught the knot in the rope that was tied around the shark's body, aad the big water tiger, greatly astonished at this state of affairs, started off with all his might Fortunately he waa so blinded by his terror and surprise that. 1 e dkl not know which way he a- going, and, being; licaded toward the shore, lie ran up Uie sloping1, gravelly beach, ami in a second or two lay gasping almost out of the water. As he struck the sand and glided up the incline lie gave a vicious twkt of his tail that sent his rider head over heels on to dry land. Tlie otlter man then hastened out of the water to his companion's aasistance, ami, securing- big pieces of coral, they both began pelting the object of their wrath. For ten or fifteen minutes the fight was a right lirely one, interspersed with many narrow escapes on their part from the monster's bij? tail, but at the end of thct period the coral rock proved too much for him, ami he gave up the ghost. On being measured the monster proved to be twelve, and one-half feet long and would have weighed probably not less than one thousand two hundred jKHinda. When lie was opened they found oao bic shoe, a cigar-case, mouth organ, ami a large number of bones that plaialy showed that his fame as a tuan-eatisg variety was sot a misnomer. THE MARKETS.
