The followiug excerpts of letters received by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture nre published for general information, from Dr. Fletcher, Domiuion Entomologist, Ottawa, Dated July 28rd 1900; "Ou Saturday I received your telegram referlug to your letter of the 17th uud this moruing the lettor itself came to hand, together with the bottlo of cutworms. Tbeso ure.I think undoubtedly Perldrouiu Sanoia, the variegated cutworm; a species with n wide range of food plants and moreover haviug two bad characteristics, uamuly feeding vory late iu tbe season, and growing to a lnrgo size, than requiring much food. A fow days ngo 1 received tho same species from Mr Watson, nf Kelowna. Tho note wliloh you published for tbo uowspnpors covered the ground protty well, but hellebore would uot be strong enough for cutworms. Theso ontorplllurs aro so voracious thnt 'Paris Green or some strong arsotilcnl polsou is necessary Spraying does not seem tu bo tho most sutlsfuotory wny uf applying poisons fur cutworms, The poisoned brim remedy gives really retnarkablo results and is iinlunlly more ai.tnu.tivo thnn green vegetation. 1 Hnd tbo best way to propni'o this is to wot tbo brau with water slightly swootoued, then dry this by mixing in moro dry brau until the whole is apimroutly dry again but us a matter of faot there will be sulllcieut luipcrcoplnhlo niuisturo to make lho poison ndliei'o. Whou tho bran is perfectly dry Paris Green Tails quickly to the bottom, nud is diflloult to mix with the brau. Tbe cutworms sout by you all soem to be of tho same speoies. If it is not too lato I wish you would seud me some of tbeso alive, although I have no doubt thut tbey are P. sauoia, us 1 bave stated above. The grasshoppers nt Veruou ure probably Cnmnula pellucida. Ou reoeipt Jot' your letter to-day I telegraphed your poisoned bran remedy, best for both grasshoppers and cutworms, ludeed I fancy tbis remedy is nbout tbe ouly one which could be applied at tbe present time. This hns been found extremely valuable in California where grasshoppers were damaging grape vines in vineyards. I had not heard of this outbreak before you wrote aud I am much obliged to you for bringiug it to my notice. If you can obtain specimens I shall be obliged to you further if you will do so uud let me bave tbem. Locusts of several kinds bave been very iujvrious in Manitoba this year. The farmers there, on tbe whole, aro baring rather a hard time of it, first with excessive drought, then hurricanes of wind, followed by frost aud drought again. The locusts wbioh did moFt barm in Manitoba tbis year were not the Rocky Mountain species, but two or three common prairie species which seldom increase to injurious numbers, and among these was pellucida, the one whioh I Imagine may be tbo Vernon pest. From D. A, Brodie, Superintendent Puyallup Experimental Station. Dated July 20, 1000: "The cutworm is still ravaging the country aud doiug great damage to almost all kinds of vegetation. Prof. Piwer says that it is Peridrom.i sauoia. I am recommending tbe use of Paris Green in plaoos where it oan bo used, but tbe outbreak is so great that I am inclined to think that baitiug is tbe best plan, as it enables us to uso tho Paris Green much stronger. A very effective way is to mix Paris Green with Hour, 1-20 parts, iuto a soft paste, nud sweeten with syrup or sugar. This is scattered on the ground where they are workiug. I rather think that tbe usual methods, as for instance one part to 150 gallons of water is uot strong enough for theso fellows. They don't seem to get enough of it that way. Trenching bas beeu very effective in one instauce uudor my observation. Shaking the vines such ns tomatoes and spraying them with kerosene can be doue lu a limited way, INSPECTOR r.VLMl.R ADVISES. Cutworms aud grasshoppers; methods of prevention aud destruction, uu illustrated phamplet by R. M. Palmer, inspector of fruit pests, oan be had free from J. H.

Everyone should obtain a copy as the information glveu is sultloient to detect the pests at the earliest stages of its Bluff tb, THY THIS IIEMEDY, C. E, Browne, of Ashoroft, wbo is uow planting a fruit orchard uear Savonas, showed a representative of the Journal a number of fruit trees whioh be had treated with the follow ing mixture, The leaves wore covered witb the dead insects, proving tbat it was effective. Mr, Browne's opinion is tbat it will prove equally as destructive to the cutworms: i lb hard soap; 1 plut ooal oil, 1 gallon water. Dissolve the soap Iti oue gallon of hot water, theu add tho coal oil aud mix thoroughly. Apply In the evening or wheu tho worms can be seen, This mixture destroys by coming in con tact witb l lie soft bodies of the worms, and is useless unless applied directly to tbe bodies, TRY TU!. HENS. Auy of ouv local gardeuere "bo have chickens or ducks should let them ruu iu the gardens. They really pick up uot oulv the cutworm in his fully developed state, but tbey destroy the worm when so small as to bo hardly distinguishable. We repeat our suggestion of last week that water be allowed to How oa the lawns, not sprayed. This brings tbo worms to the surface, wben tbey can be picked off by hand, Allowing water to flow between rows ot vegetation hns the same effect. Everyone should know thnt tbo ground beetle or cutworm lion and lho blnck ground wusp are desperate cno- mies of tho cutworms, the former feed- on them iu all of its stages; the latter digging them out aud storing 's nest with thom as food for its young grubs. SAVONAS. No more pleasant place, within convenient distanco of Ashernft, can be found during the hot wentbor, than Savonas, Tho Lake View Hotol, conducted by A. B. Ferguson, v. bom everyone knows, is a convenient and nice place lo stay. Mr. Ferguson Is obllg- ing and attentive to his guests. Uo has just finished an annex of six rooms to tho hotol and contemplates adding four more rooms, Uo has lately purchased tbe laud botween tbe hotel aud tbe statlou and intends planting it with shade trees, besides makiug a lawn. Bathing aud boating aro two of tho attractions of tho place. Splendid trout fishing is bud within two miles of the hotel, and mnuy ure the baskets takon by the Kamloops and Ashcroft masters of tho rod. Considerable development work has beeu done on promising mineral claims, silver and copper, uoross tho lnke. Some of tbe properties ure nbout to be made mines. Johu Jane, general merchant, carries a good stock of family nnd miuers supplies, as well as articles required by sportsmen. The C. P. lt. station is oue of tbe neatest little stations on tbe line and is kept so by tbe obliging agent, G. V. Ogle, wbo was at oue time night ngent at Ashcroft, About half a mite from the hotel on tho lake shore are very good uauiping grounds. Last Sunday the children of Savoua were tbe guests of Mrs. J. B.

His Honor, Lieu.-Governor Joty bus consented to open tbo Exhibition. Special efforts are being made this year to increase public interest iu this aunual event, aud in order to improve tho number and quality of exhibits substantial Inoreases have been made to the general and special prize lists. In tbe matter of attractions uu excellent programme of sports is being arranged for eacb day, to include horse and bicycle races, baseball, lacrosse aud football matches, and all manner of athletic contests, Itis expected that a special feature of the Exhibition this fall will be the displays made by our local merchants uud manufacturers, to encourage which a number of valuablo cash prizes are offered, Already very encouraging promises of co-operation bave been received from the farmers aud stockruisers throughout tbe district, aud it may be anticipated tbat the display ot livestock and farm products generally wil) this year eclipse all previous records. Full particulars regarding exhibits, etc., oan be obtained of tho secretary, Mr. J.T. Robinson, Kamloops. Ni-tciiuimr. Vaucouver, Aug. 1.âInformation comes from Stevoston thut nine fishing nets were mysteriously cut on Monday ulght. The nets wero ull owued by Japanese, which gave rise to tbe impression that uuiou fishermen were avenging themselves ou tbe Japanese for deserting the strikers. The nels wore supposed to have beeu out while tbe owners slept, Tbe damage done is estimated at $000, The Japaiif so are alarmed and are again culling for moro police protection. Since the begin ning of the strike U nels iu all have beeu uut. Dr. Hell-Irving, a member of tbo executive of tbe Cuuuers' Association. stated this evening that there had been more or less cutting reported since Ushiug started; but there always was a certain amount every year, Tbe latest report received from Ste- veston this evening was ihat all is quiet aud fish were running from 50 lo GO lo tbe boat. A Sunnâtill llnl, iiuiii nl. Entertainments in which children have a prominont part are not always satisfactory. They are muoh inclined to bo tiresome and it requires a good deal of patience to sit to lho end. The children's entertainment lust Tuesday under tlio direction of Iho ladles of the Methodist church was, as the Journal intimated last weok. llio best children's enter tai n mou t ever given horo. Tho entire program was performed by the children, nol a grown up pei'bou taking any purl. Would that bo tho reason of its success? The grown ups wero responsible for lho length of tho entertain ment. Thirty pieces are a Rood many oven for thirty excited girls and boys logo through. A tier of benches was orootod ou tlio back of lho stage, one abovo lhe othor, something in the samo stylo as seats in a circus. Tho boys occupied tho upper row and tho girls the Iwo lower rows. Kev. U. B, Luldley was tho ring master and Lo his great credit iL may ho said ho did uot toll oue single story of his childhood days. No doubt llio temptation was great, but by resisting It ho can bo reckoned as ono of the ablo chairmen. A chorus was Lho opening piece, followed by a recitation "Uo Polite" by Fostor Steudman, Lhou camo a duel and chorus, Lila Laidley uud Gladys Bailey taking iho prominent parts and doing it vory nicely. "Tho Soldier Boys" chorus was enlivened by Roddie Mackay's drum accompaniment. FrankloBailey gavo a speech which was well received and LeKoy Laidley iu "Shoemaker John" settled his reputation us a singor, llerbie Bailey, who is about two feet high, deserves special mention for tho amusement he gavo tho audienco in reciting his ox- perieuce: When I wus a little boy About so high, Mamma took u litllo Btioli Aud mude mo cry, Now I am a big boy .Mamma cut't do it, l'apa takes a big slick Aud lays right to it. Tho program doso not givo lho names of the singers in the quartette and tbe reporter is uuable to recall them. Clar euco Bailey expressed his opinion of a boy's life in a recitation, "A Hoy's Bo- lief." hone Shaw uud Helena Boyle sang u duet, "Tho Golden Bout" song and Roy Laidloy read a composition on animals. -Minnie Burr introduced the visitors from story laud; Clara Lyne, Hod Riding Hood; Irene Shaw, Cinderella; Annta Monroe, Bopeep; Gladys Bailey, Silvery Hair aud Earnest Lyno, Jaok Tho Giant Killer. Apples For A Pennie." This was splendidly sung and acted by Hazel Shuw uud was probably tho best pioco on tho program. Club swinging exercises were given by Lila Laidloy. Bye- La-Land was represented by four of tbe smallest girls, seated in rocking choirs aud just behind tbem was u paiuted screen made beautiful by the tho faces of tbe larger girls that protruded through it at regular intervals. Laura Hawthorne and her doll made a speech and Lila Laidley and Ada McCosh mado a success of lho duet, "A Merry Farmer Boy." It was a whistl ing affair and very woll done. Goorgo ilonroe exhibited a now toy and told how ho got it. Then liuie Dolly Burr murched to the front and recited "Tho Mouse." Sho indignantly refused lo reply to an encore, which was rather ungracious of her. Grata Shaw, Gertie Creelman and Islbel Bremner sang ''Nanny Clover" and Margie Nesbitt rccilod, "Whou My Dolly Died." May aud Clara Lyne, dressed in blue, and to the music of "Two Litllo Girls lu Blue," gave a club swinging exorcise. May Hawthorne and Frankio Lyno recited "Two And Ono," Gladys Bailey must now be looked iipon ns ono of Lbo coming siugors of Ashcroft. She took tho solo part in "A Little Thing Liko That." Miuuio Burr's reciting was unusual and shows that sho has marked ability as au elocutionist. She will be heard from again. Ada McCosh, Alice Shaw, Alice Lehman and Dorothy Sweet took part lu u dialogue: Ada MoCosh as "Aunt Kitty" taking tho prlnolpel part very woll. Recitations by May Lyno, Joe Burr, Gregor McKay aud a chorus, followed by tho National Anthom, closed lbo entertainment. Everyone wus satisfied that thoy had spent a delightful ovoniug and wero very much pleased witb tho performances of tho children. Mrs. Laidloy and Mrs. Lehman who bavo hud tbo training of the children, aro to bo congratulated ou tbeir success. Tho benefit to lhe children bytho training tboy havo received cannot be oountod by dollars aud overy encouragement is duo to those who spond their timo assisting thi) children to bring out their talents. If auy Utile boy or girl or largo ouo either, wbo took part in this entertain* ment is uut mentioned, ho or sho will confer a favor by c tiling at iho JOURNAL ofHoe noxt week when tho omission will bo made good. I.AItl-l-ltVJM.i:. A purLy of fivo Miuuesotians, being meu interested with Messrs, Griffin k Sutherland, of Minneapolis, came down on Thursday's stago from Barkerville. They are moro tban ploased wilh the outlook in and around Barkerville. Tbey stale that lbo work so fur done on Eight-Mile lake properties, near Barkerville, has demonstrated tho fact that lho properties nro very rich. A ditch six miles long tbut takes a largo sireum from Stuart River will ho completed within tbo next thirty days, and tho parties interested uro satlsllod that they bavo n vory rich property. Mr. Griffin bus sunk a smalt prospecting shaft on 'Copper Creek and from lbo bottom of tho â¢shaft, at twenty-live feet from tbo surface, 823 in coarse gold waa takou out. Many [.olher properties aro looking woll for tho small amount of work done, and il is the opinion of Messrs.

On tbo Eight Milo claim it was necessary to cut through a ridge to lay a section of Hume, iu getting ready for lho hydraulio plant, and .'150 yards of gravol, by actual measurement, wus moved.
