POTATO BUGS How to destroy this
destroyer Of one of the most necessary of
the products Of the garden and farm, is
question noao pressing itself upon the
attention of every cultivator of the soil,
to have answered. Mr.. Byron Ma. khan
| of this village, has tried the following
| recipe, and is sure that, while it does not
injure the plant, it will destroy the bug.
Take for one acre Of potatoes, of Paris
green 2fbs. cost at 65cts per fb 81 80.
Fine -four 4 TBS. cost a. 5 cts per fb zoe.
Mix thoroughly and sprinkle with fine
sieve upon every leaf of the plant and the
work is done.
This Paris Green-.used also in mixing
green paints an active poison, and care
should be taken not to receive it into the
| lungs or stomach of the manipulation, in
the preparing of the mixture and in the
sprinkling of it from the sieve. Because
it is such a poison, it makes rapid, sure
work with the bug. Hills covered with
this pest, are relieved at once, and the
ground shows, from the the black putrid
bodies on it, how this remedy does its
work. Side by side in Mr.. Markham $
Enclosure we're patches of the potato ::
| some sprinkled several days before: some
only day or two before somc treated
carefully by the killing of the bug by
hand, and some not treated at all. Those
sprinkled with the poison for several DAYS
were in most promising luxuriancc of
growth. Those treated only day or two
before showed the recent ravages Of the
pest; while the putrid carcasses of the
bugs on the ground, showed that there
was no further power Of mischief in them
The tops, treated with the hand, were not
freed from the bug, after a vast deal of
pains. and the stripped, sickly plants
showed what desperate contest the
''hand to hand conflict was. While the
tops left without attention gave proof
that there, there could be no crop.
One dollar and half expense, and
the very quick process of sprinkling the
vines, will save the potato crop of one
acre. This remedy is immediate, cheap,
and effective, harmless to the vine, and
destructive to the bug Will not the
farmers of this county take the pains this
year to save their potato crop, which, but
tor this one pest, promises to be one Of
the best, and most profitable that he will
raise?

| IHE CONCERT. The very numerouslv
attended Concert of last Saturday even
ing, given by the talented young artist
Mr.. Martin Fleischer, at the Turner Hall.
assisted by our Musical Society, was real
ly success. The overtures of the first
and second part were rendered as perfect
as the limited means of our Musical
Society would possibly allow. The two
pieces played by young Mr.. Fleischer on
the violin were given with fine effect ::
every tone was perfect, the bowling excel
lent and the most difficult passages were
performed With an ease and grace which
were really astonishing from so young
an artist. We predict for him an unlim
tied success, if he continues his studies as
Faithfully as he must have done hereto
fore.
The promised treat by Mr.. Weinschers.
the talented leader of our Union Brass
Band, failed on account of sickness. In
his place Mr.. Biersach, from Milwaukee
Kindly volunteered two very pleasing
songs which gave great satisfaction, and
being encored, he gave the song of the
Stocking Bird which was excellently ex-
ccuted. The intermezzo by DR.. Simon
and Mr.. Fechter might have beer omit
ted, at least until the end of the concert
We hope soon to be enabled to enjoy
another such treat and would ask Prof
Haehng to give Us Concert Of hie 1pils
at the earliest opportunity. We feel
sorry that 50 few of our young people
take any interest IN learning to plav some
musical instrument. We have as good
teachers here in Manitowoc as can be
round almost anywhere If our young
men would spend but half the time they
squander in useless, if not injurious friv-
oi'ties. IN the study of music, how much
higher. innocsnt and eleva.ing pleasure.
might thsy net enjoy?

SPoNGING THE PRINTER. A paper
down IN Massachusetts has an essay on
the subject of ''snonging on the print
err, which fits any longitude and latitude
so we'll that we copy specimen para
graph. 1t says: "A great many socie-
ties. associations and people generally
have queer notions about printers. They
think we can puff and publish for moth
ing. Let us give you an instance: A
man is desirous of advertising. and after
making contract for half dozen lines,
and beating us down to half price. he
wants to know if We can't throw in an
editorial which is itself worth more than
the advertisement. Would it not be as
sensible to ask a grocer to throw in a
pound of coffee because you bought a
pound of tea? People forget that ink
and paper cost money, and they seem
astonlshed if we ask pay for an obituary
notice, a card OF thanks, a tribute of re-
spect, or personal communication, or
anything that only interests few persons
and not the general reader They forget
that it is printers ink that makes nine
tenths of their immense fortunes they
forget that it takes money to pay COM
posltors, to buy ink, type and paper; and,
lastly, they forget even to thank you for
working for nothing by eratituously
putting their business or serving the pub
lie. Did you ever hear anybody or any
corporation thanking an editor for what
he has done? Guess not"
