The Bug on the Petato.

In several late private letters to US,
mention is made of bug, about the size
of, or perhaps little larger, than the rose
bug, with black wings and light scarlet
or orange colored body, which infests the
potato vines to such an extent, as to strip
them completely of thier leaves, causing
them to turn yellow and decay.
This appears to be new enemy Of the
potato, and we are apprehensive may turn
out to be quite formidable one, as with
out the support of the leaves, the vines
must naturally die, and with them the uu-
ripe tubers must rot or become in a great
measure worthless.
We notice in small patch of potatoes on
our own premises, many of these bugs,
and their depredations on few rows OF
Wild Mexican Potato" are particularly
marked-tho vines falling in decayed
state, fat upon the gronnd. We have
seen 10 remedy for this bug suggested,
but We should suppose that wood ashes or
powdered lime would be protection, if
busted over the vines in the morning,
while the dew was upon them.
\ farmer in Cecil county, Maryland,
sends a communication to the Baltinlore
iTee,ly Sun, under date of l1th inst, re-
sPocting this bug, in which he says
" IN my patch Of five acres, noticed
this morning a place of one hundred
square yards, where the vines were COM
pletely stripped Of their leaves, and the
bugs, as fast as they consumed the leaves,
would leave for the fresh ones, scattering
IN every direction, and from appearance,
viii in a few days destroy the whole patch
or at least change its appearance from
beautiful and thrifty green color to ma
ked and yellow vines."
We fear The depredations Of this new
enemy are widespread, and may serious
i affect the crop. The early planted |
crop has Jared the best and as 4 protec-
sion to the late planted, we would recon-
mend a trial of the ashes or lime. We
have found these TO be a complete rene
3y against tie bug that is SO destructive,

Some Of your correspondents inquire
about the best method of keeping eggs
freshi and as we have a plan here which
I have not seen mentioned in any of the
replies which have been given to these in
qairers, I send it to you, particularly as l
find it better than any l have seen men
toned Take half inch board of any
convenient length and breadth, and pierce
II as full of holes (each l inch in diam
cter) as you can without risking the
breaking Of one hole into anotber-I fud
that board Of two feet six inches in
length, and one foot broad, has FIVE doz-
ea in It, say twelve rows Of five each; then
take four strips Of the same hoard, of two
inches broad, and nail them together
edgewise into a rectangular frame Of the
same size as your board; nail the board
upon the frame, and the work is done, un.
less you choose, for the sake of appear
ances, to nail beading Of three quarters
Of an inch round the board on the top;
this looks better, and sometimes NAV pre-
vent an egg from rolling of. Put your
c-Es il this board as they come in from
the poultry house, the small end down,
and they VIII keep for six months, if you
take the following precautions:
Take care that the eggs do not get wet
either in the nest or afterwards; Gn sum
~er, hens are fond of laying among the
aett.es or long grass. and any eggs taken
from such nests in wet weather, should
be put away for immediate use;) keep
them in hot cool room in summer, and
cat Of the reach Of frost in winter, and
then, I think, the party trying the ex-
pertinent viii have abundant reason to be
satisfied with it.
find there are some in my larder
which, am assured have been there near
er eight months than six, and which are
still perfectly fresh and good; in fact it is
The practice here to accumulate large
stock Of eggs in August, September and
October, which last until after the fowls
have began to lay in the spring. If two
boards are kept, one can be filling, and
thc other emptying at the same time.
This Is an exceedingly good plan for
those persons who keep few fowls for
the supply Of eggs to their own family
but would perhaps not do so well for
those who keep a large stock Of hens, as
It would take up too much room.
L have endeayored to account for the
admirable way in which eggs keep in this
manner, by supposing that the yolk floats
more equally IN the white, and has less
tendency TO sink down to the SHELL than
when the egg is laid on one side; certain
if the yolk reaches the shell, the ego
