TUE ALDINE, while issued with all the reg
Il ularity, has none of the temporary or
timely interest characteristic of ordinary PEE
riOdicals. IL is an elegant miscellany of pure
light, and graceful literature, and a collection
Of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill in black and white. Although each sue
ceeding number affords fresh pleasure to its
friends. the real value and beauty of The Al
dine will be most appreciated after il has been
bound up at the close of the year. While
other publications may claim superior cheap
ness as compared with rivals of a similar
class, The Aldne is unique and original con
eeption--alOne and unapproaehed-
without competition in price or character
The Dossessor of the volume just completed
cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper
and engravings in any other shape or number
OF volumes for ten fines It's cost
The labor of getting The Aldine ready on
the press is so great that repriatinq is out Of
the question. With the exception OF a small
number specially reserved for binding, the
edition for 1871 ia already exhausted, and it is
now scarce as well as valuable book

Potato BuRs.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
rscomMendso the extensive planting of early
potatoes aud the abandonment of late planted
potatoes during the prevalence Of the potato
bugs, tor the following reasons: On the ap-
proaeh OF winter they dig down and bury
themselves In the earth six or eight inches
deep, where thousands OF them may be found
IN their winter quarters, only waiting for the
warm sun of June to call them forth te their
work of destruction. The bugs will make
their appearance about the LIST OF June, but
Will not be so numerous but that they can be
managed until an early crop can be matured.
When they first appear, they immediately fly
in search of their favored food. After few
days the sexes pair, and in day or two the
eggs are deposited, after which the old bugs
soon become torpid and die, having gone their
round of life, and filed out their little day.
In four or five days these eggs in their turn
are Matched, and after about ten days of vor-
acious feeding these little things that are
Matched attain to the full size of the potato
larvae. They then seek the earth and dig
about an inch under ground, where in few
DAYS the larvae changes 10 the beetle, when
they come forth the complete Colorado potato
bug, to perpetuate their species in like man

cold in autumn it seems that those only bur.

such numbers, and multiplying 50 fast, that

Compost NJ anure.

A writer in the Turf, Field and Farm has
been experimenting for some years in the
manufacture OF compost manures, with sue
cess far beyend my expectations. The fol
lowing is the modus opraadi:
A pit is dug Immediately in the rear of the
barn and stable, measuring five feet in depth,
twenty-tour feet in length, and fifteen feet in
width. This pit has flooring and sides of
brick, which is cemcnted with a concrete OF
cement, to prevent loss by drainage. Into it
is first thrown thin layer of unslaked lime,
three or four inches deep. This forms an ex.
cellent foundation for your future compost
All the bones which, for the past year, have
been collected about the farm and thrown into
heap, are dumped in this pit and distributed
over the surface OF the lime
Next, all the ashes which have collected
for year, and been thrown under woodshed,
prepared for the purpose, are also dumped
into the pit, over the LAYER OF bones. Over
this is thrown all the horse and COW drop
pings, the litter from the stable and COW sheds,
and ali the refuse of the kitchen as t.ey col
lect the Ives from the stable and COW shed
being regularly carried through cutters to
the pit. Occasionally the layers OF lime, ashes,
loose loan, etc, are thrown over the animal
manure, and the same process is continued
from time 70 time, until the pit is IA Il.

Put in the fresh ground pure coffee, and pour
on freshly boiled water. The fluid filters
