POISONED BY PorAroE BUGs.-The
following from the Mitchell County
Press may serve as warning to
the vast brigade of potatoe- bug de
stroyers: "Mrs. Hinkly, residing in
the eastpart Of the town, was taken
violently i'll last Tuesday, and grew
much worse yesterday without the
cause q her sickness being discov-
cred. Last night DIR. Nichols was
called and discovered all the sympt-
oms Of poisoning by the potatoe bug
virus. She was perfectly blind, had
exorutlating pain through the upper
part of the chest, spasmodio contra O.
tions of the muscles of the throat,
SO that she could scarcely swallow.
He put her at once upon an antidote,
and himself and brother labored two
hours with her, and succeeded in Civ,
| ing relief. She is comfortable this
morning. This should serve as a
warning to all who handle potatoe
bugs. Their virus is as poisonous
as the rattle snake"

Raulehias Bearing Fruit Trees.

There is no doubt now by our
most intelligent horticulturists about
the practical advantages to be gained
by mulching the surface of the
orchard and fruit garden. This
should be more generally practiced
in fruit-producing districts, for it is
the least expensive and most effec-
tive method of protecting the fruit
trees against the bad results often
following the frequent and sudden
changes of temperature during the
summer and fall months, when the
surface IF the ground is left exposed
to the direct rays of the sun. Again,
when the mulch is put on two or
three inches in thickness, the soil is
constantly moist and loose, even
when no rain falls for term of sew
eral weeks, and the trees or fruit
receive no check for want Of moist
ure and food under such circumstan.
ces.
My method is to cultivate the
spaces between the rows of trees in
the orchard, using a small one-horse
plow and cultivator, running mot
more than two inches deep, during
the early part of the season. From
the lst to the 10Th of July l have
nut on a heavy coating of salt hay,
covering the surface as far as the
branches extend. After this there
is no more trouble with weeds OF
grass. There may a few scattering
ones start up, but they are easily
destroyed.
Every fruit grower knows tha,
two or three weeks before the time
of gathering the main crop of fruit
fine specimens are constantly falling
off by strong winds. When the
ground is mulched the majority oi
such specimens are not bruised OF
Injured for sale. This saving alone
/ consider pays me for the trouble Of
mulching the orchard.
There is only ore serious draw
back to the application of mulch,
that is tho danger of hay or straw
getting on fire when rendered dry
BY continual warm weathcr.-P. Z,

Dear Sir Some
time has elapsed, since I have had
the pleasure Of perusing the columns
of your paper; have not had the
privilege Of reading your Courier,
since 1 loft Iowa, enclosed please
find s1.5O for the Courier.
This is oueof the best grain grow
ing counties in the State; there is .
fine prospect for an abundant crop
Of wheat and oats. Farmers have
complained considerably Of rust !;
yet those who have examined the
closest, inform me, that It has only
slightly injured few fields, no ma
terial damage has been done. Tho
occasion Of rust 90 early in the sea
SON. is said (by old men, 70 originate
from the east winds, which have
been 50 prevalent this section during
the spring.
Corn looks promising for the time
Of wear. Worms worked on the early
plant ting considerably . few fields
were injured 90 badly, that they
were replanted. The late planting
is doing ~ well, apparently, % tho
earlier.
The season was cold until the Sec
ond week in May. The past week
has been extremely warm, dry
weather has been prevalent but
abundant rains have fallen within
the past ten days. The hay crop
promises TO be large ono.
Politics are little excited. The
Now Departure men have thrown
the democratic party into confusion.
The majority Of tho democrats here
are of the old, ultra Breckinridge
Neutrality-suspicious. men and anti
everything else; always have been
favorable to repudiating the national
debt, remanding the negroes into
slavery again and eniranchising all
Southerners who participated IN tha
rebellion. Tho democratic party in
convention at Columbus acknowl-
edged the recent amendments to the
constitution as fixed and unalterable
facts. In short, to use their own
language, they "accept the situa-
ton" Now, if George McCook be-
comes Governor, and the party 9TH
erwise successful in the coming cam
paign, then vallandigham will most
certainly be sent to the o. s. Senate
next winter in the place Of John
Sherman. Such an event would be
o disgrace TO the state. Republicans
should shun the New Departure
leaders as they would the deadliest
viper. It is only q depression for Of
fee. They arc the same IN principle.

rnsrf1toNIAL 70 GEN. BAKER.

The good services of N. B. Baker
as Adjutant General for ten years
past, and especially his noble work
for the State and kindness to our
soldiers during the war, have, ever
since the conclusion Of the Rebellion,
been prompting many Oft our soldiers
and civilians alike to tender to the
General q fitting testimonial which
would express to him tho love which
Iowa and Iowa soldiers bear for him.
1t has been felt that by SONS sdoh
token the debt of gratitude to him
which is acknowledged by all could
be partially repaid. Repeatedly the
General has refused to allow . fund
to be raised for the purpose Of pur-
chasing him a home. More recently
he has yielded to urgent solicitations
80 far as to consent that fund shall
be raised, with the condition that
whatever may be given shall be CON
veyed TO his wife and not to him
further insisting that the disposition
ofa home, &C., shall be under the
control offs committee of the donors.
With this permission several of our
prominent citizens, military and
civil, q few days ago set to work to
raise fund for the purchase Of a
residence. Il was intended that the
matter should be conducted quietly,
and not made public through the
press, but conducted through local
committees. 1t has, however, by
some means made its appearance in
the Chicago papers-so we have
deemed it proper to make this state
ment, that it may be clearly under
stood in the State.
The Committee in charge of the
laudable effort is composed of tho
following gentleman: Maj D G Cram,
VI Williams, Dubuque John Il Da-
vies, Davenport; John H Tierney,
Clinton; Col J Hutchison, A r Black
shere, Fort Dodge; r d Kellogg,
Garden Grove; Col Geo @ Tichenor,
and r T Ensign, Des Moines. The
Committee has appointed the follow
ing local treasurors Of the fund: Coll
Hutchison, Fort Dodge; Hon Fl G
Bulls, Dccorah; Col Milo Smith, Clin-
