PARIS GREEN AND PoTATo BUGs.-A
spondent of the Geneva (Kane coun-
ty, ILL., Republican says;
As the Paris.green will undoubtedly
be made use of to considerable extent
for tue purpose of destroying these in
sects, we wish to lay downa few rules to
be observed:s
1t is now universally known that this is
a very poisonous substance composed of
arsenic and copper, and being fine pow
der it readily floats in the air and is LA
bic to be inhaled if not used with can
ton. The first rule in using it. therefore.
IS to stand from the side which the wind
IS blowing. There are various WAYS of
applying it; either from dredging box,
or an oyster can punched at one end
with small holes, or from gauze bag
tied to the end ola pole four or five feet
| in length
The common error in using it is to
make it too strong. 1t should be diluted
with at least ten times the quantity of
flour or asl:es; and there are experiments
on record which go to show that 1t does
not lose It's efficacy oy being reduced
with fifteen or twenty times the quantity
of the inelt powder.
Flour is generally preferred to ashes.
because if applied, as it always should be,
when the vines are wet with rain or dew.
it forms "a paste which prevents its
blowing off.
| Another important precaution is not
to use it on vines near where children
will be likely to resort.
The same powder has been used success
fully against the cucumber bugs, and
other leaf eating insects.
Ii is safe precaution not to use it in
any case where it will come in contact
with the fruit. It's application to cur
rant and gooseberry bushes therefore, as
late IN the season as the present, is not to
be recommended
am now experimenting with pol
sonous water which runs off il the man
ufacture Of Paris green and which is
much cheaper and safer to handle. But
have not yet had sufficient opportunity
to test It's efficacy, to be able to report
satisfactorily upon it.
The Aurora Herald give the following
recipe for preventing the bugs from de-
eirtgsng tilo gines
Mix half pound Of ground black
pepper with six quarts. Of wood ashes,
and sprinkle freely when the vines are
damp, and they will leave for your next
neigbbors. This is equally as good and
less expensive and dangerous than Paris
green.
The surest way Of destroying the bug
is to hold him with a pair Of tweezers and
|
hit him fair blow on the head with
| sledge, hammer0

A WESTERN WOMAN WINS THE FIRST
MEDAL OF HoNoR.-A friend in New
York, in private letter calls our atten-
ton to the fact that the ''frst Medal of
Honor ever given by the National Acad-
envy, the highest art authority in America,
was won by woman-Miss Marie Louise
Bascom." "This," he adds, els fact
which you, as Western man, have a
right 20 crow over, for she is from the
West" The public in New York, we
learn from the same letter, are much
excited over the subject of art schools.
The Old Fogy element opposed the Pro
gressives in the Academy until two years
ago the latter broke up the ring by "get-
ting majority Of the 'Council,' and this
year they elect their President, which
means free schools, free lectures, and life.
Life generally, anatomy, and the laws of
perspective, have never been taught until
last year.
We take the following from the New
York Mail, in relation to the exhibition
of drawing Of the antique school:
It is a noticeable fact, and-we cannot
say less and be gallant-a most pleasing
one to us, that the two medals have been
won, and will be carried off tomorrow, by
two ladies. What a glorious argument
for the woman sufragistsl The first
medal Of honor ever given by oul Art
Academy, won by women! Art knowing
no sex, see the result, etc, etc.
Miss Marie Louise Bascon, whose graf
flying progress we noted when we visited
the school, as a lady of rare taste and in
domitable industry, is the happy winner
of the first prize, the silver medal, for her
drawing from the drawing from the An
tique-a difficult one as those familiar
with the casts will remember tSilenus
with the Infant Bacchus." The second
prize-the bronze medal has been
awarded to Miss FL. Sydney Baylies.
