its use In Fruit Trees, Vines, Wheat, Corn, Flow

doubted by any honest man. When applied to
trees, it p metrates every pore, destroying the
worm in the limit of the tree, and by connect
ing with the mineral substance of the earth,
destroys the cause and prevents the creation of
any destrnetive insects. It will prevent Curou
lie from st inging the plum, and every person
using it will have sound plums. It will kill the
peach grub, and make peach trees hear healthy
fruit. It will prevent dry-rot in grapes. It
swells the tree causing the old bark to peel otl
from the body, while a beautiful new green
bark takes its place. It will kill potato bugs
and prevents potato tot. It will prevent weave),
mill-dew. or rust in wheat, and prevent the fly
from touching it. It destroys the cat-worm in
corn—in tact, it will kill any kind of insects that
attack Fruit Trees, and cause all Fruit Trees to
bear sound fruit. It is now extensively nsod in
the Western states. and those who have used it
would not he without, it, for a thousand times
its cos). It has been used in the southern parts
of Barite County,tbis state, on grain. trees, lco.,
and there has not been a single failure. Any
person wishing to see its effect upon growtng
grain and fruit,can be gratified byealling on UN

Actual cost of Prison (thrillg the year, euol 1 53
The increase of the extraordinary expenses
is owing to the fact that during the past year a
number of cells have been clad or plated with
boiler iron, and more are to be secured in the
same manner; besides, replacing the inside cell
doors which are of wood, sliding on rollers,
with iron-bur doors on hinges Act. The-flues
and pipes throughout the Prison, having be
come useless, were replaced with new ones,
which added to the unusual expense of this
year.
The whole number of days prisoners were
boarded the past year, was 35,906 ; 34.103 at SO etc
a day, and 1409 at. 15 cu. a day, amounting in
all to $10,53035, an average of WON per
month. The number the previous year was
SIAM days, costing $8,667.20 and averaging
$7•21.12% per month, being an increase the past

Tabular abatements sustaining the foregoing
conclusions are hereto appended and made part
of this Report. •
We regret to report the death of two of the
ofiloers of the Prison during the year : Dr. John
F. Huber, Physician Lo the Prison and bury
M. Musser, a member of the Ittlhrd of Inspec
tors.
Dr. Huber was a faithful and energetic officer,
bringing to the discharge of his duties the
varied experience gained in the practice of his
profession not only at home but in the army
during the rebellion.
Slr. Musser by his urbanity of manner and the
constant interest felt in even - thing which pro
moted the welfare of the Prison, was well quali
fied for the position made vacant by his un
timely death.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
