EDITOR HERALD Having planted
q large piece Of ground in early po-
tatoes | find myself much annoyed
by the "Anti-Fenians", commonly
called potato-bugs. Within the last
few days OF hot weather | have, how
ever, discovered a remedy which on
my soil promises to b successful, and
will be so | think on most farms. /
hasten to give it to you, and through
you, to the many readers OF the Her
aid:
Plow and hand-weed your potatoes
thoroughly, and when the sun is near
the meridian take q brush or broom
and knock the pests off the vines in
between the rows. The bare, clean
ground being hot the young bugs
will dry in half a minute, On my
sandy soil seven out Of ten of the
old ones will perish, and the work is
quickly done. The young ones will
die instanter.

Keep Down the Weeds.

said grandpa as he raked in the garden, "and

repeated.
Yes, dear, Your mind is that part ofyou

and feelings are the flowers and fruit that grow
IN the gardens Of our mind and bad are the
weeds. Now, suppose | were to let the weeds
grow just as they liked all over this garedn,
what do you think would happen ?"
Just what has happened to neighbor
Ortons garden, replied Lima. :" The weeds
would grow faster than the good plants and
flowers, and cover them over, or kill them
out. "
"And as it is with neighbor Orton's gar.
den, " said grandpa, $50 it is with the minds
Of his children. In their gardens the weeds
have grown faster than the flowers.
They are bad boys, know, " answered
Lima.
because the father neglected the gardens
of their minds, and did not pull up or keep
down the evil weeds.
80, now | understand, grandpa And do
we all have weeds in the gardens of our
minds2"
"All Of us, daring-the weed of selfish
thoughts and feelngs-nnd whenever we dis
cover them we should pull them up by the
roots. God will make the flowers Of love and
mercy, Of kindness and goodwill, of patience,
