ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore tho
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling Oft, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Tie Colorado Potato Beetle

If the old saying, ''three times and
out, proves true in the case Of these bee
ties, the Lords name be praised. But we
have fears that they are to stick by us, as
they appear to be looking out for winter
quarters. They are everywhere present
crawl into our houses, cellars, bed rooms;
we find them in our soup, in our jacket
pocket, and by soRe ''presto change"
operation they get into our tobacco box.
They are the most intolerable, poisonous
nuisance that any country was ever cursed
with. The lice, frogs, and locusts OF
Egypt were not circumstance in COM
pariron. And if, as in Phsroah's timo, q
stiff westerly wind could be brought to
bear upon them, we shou'3 5e a happy
people. As our experience with the chaps
this season has been somewhat extensive,
we think we are abe to impart some little
information to those interested.
The best remedy consists in preventing
the beetles from becoming numerous late
in the season. Watch for them in early
spring, when the vines are Just peeping
oe. of the ground. Ehsnare as many OF
them as you can before they get chance
to pair, by making few small heaps OF
potatoes in the planted field To these
the beetle will be attracted for food, and
you can easily kill them in the morning.
Keep an eagle eye for the eggs which are
first deposited, as they reproduce very
rapidly. Cultivate well By frequently
stirring the soil. 1t might be well to sur
round the fields on the outside with some
rows of tender-leayed varieties; but, above
all, isolate your potato field as much as
possible, either by using land surrounded
by timber or by planting in the centre ofa
cornfeld. Garry out these suggestions
thoroughly, and We think you
will not have much use for that poisonous
stuff, Paris green. + b. w.

Redding or no Bedding in Stables.

In an article on the subject of dry earth
for bedding, by j. Wilkinson, in the Amer
ican Farmer. the writer says that the con.
struction and management of stables has
been an important branch of my vocation
for many years. am fond of experiment,
and have tested in stable economy great
variety of systems of feeding, bedding,
yentilatine, etc. 1 have thoroughly tested
the use of dry earth. /. e. dried clay and
clay loan, drled muck, sawdust, spent tan,
long and short straw, and have used In
conjunction with all the different kinds OF
bedding different quantities Of good gyp-
sum. 1 have, after thirty years experience
with the use of all the different kinds of
material for bedding in stables, arrived at
the conclusion that no bedding OF any de-
scription Is required, if stable floors are
arranged as they should be, and that both
horses and cattle can be made more COM
Portable and healthful without bedding
than with.
Every observing groom knows tha
many of the most intelligent and valuable
horses have the habit of paving their bed
ding back and lying on the bare floor.
The writer has known dozens of instances
of this kind, and where the stall floors
we're in a smooth condition no Ill effects

through the grated floor into the gutter, as
soon as the animal steps on it, said gutter
being so arranged as to be convenient Of
access for the purpose of cleaning it.
