Colorado Potatn Bugs,

These bid fair to be exceedingly nu.
merous the present season. And YET
we believe that crop of potatoes can
be successfully raised, if planted where
potatoes did not grow last year, or adj
Jacent thereto, and if the following
precautions are carefully needed: As
soon as the potatoes are up, so along
each row, and an occasional pair of the
bugs will be seen. They may or may
not have already lain their orange col
ored eggs on the under side of the pota-
to leaf. But the motto should be to
destroy all bugs and eggs. Ifneglected
till the eggs hatch out, it will be a big
job to kill the myriads, which, like
Pharaoh's lice, cover all the vines.

EGGs WITH CHEEsE-A "FONDUE." "
The Table says: Now that the sea-
son of fresh eggs has come, the follow
ing recipe for a tondue, for breakfast or
lunch, will be read with interest, and
doubtless be served at many table,
The tondue is an ancient dish, and was
popular in France many centuries ago.
It requires little tact to properly
make it; and, to ensure its being hot
and served up the exact moment, it
should be cooked in chatting dish at
the table. Take the same number of
eggs as there are guests at the table;
break them (tbe eggs, not the guests
careful into bowl, at your right hand.
Take then, say for five eggs, one quar-
ter Ofa pound Of any good rich cheese
and a piece of sweet butter about the
size of Il hens egg. Chop up a sprig
of parsley, and small fresh onion
Graie tie cheese, put Ii with the butter
and parsley, etc. into the chatting dish;
stir it slowly with q wooden spoon un-
ill the substance is thick and soft, and
all thoroughly united. While this is
cooking, which will take but three or
four minutes, let one of your guests iii
it be a lady, SO much the better) beat
up the eggs, which pour Into the chat
fng dish, add little salt, and good
sprinkling of pepper, which last is one
u. the positive characteristics of this
dish. Let it cook two or three min
utes longer, and serve up Ona warm
dish, garn shed, if you please, with
| fric,i bread (crouStddeS).

The Striped Cucumber Beetle.


1t may not be uninteresting for those
who raise such plants to considerable
extent, andare consequently liable TO
suffer loss by the ravages of this insect,
to learn what Colonel John. Logan, OF
Carlinville, Macoupin Co., Ills, who
has been for 4 few years pastextensive-
ly engaged in raising cucumbers, gives
US good remedy against its attack On
the roots. First, he says, as soon as the
plants nave acquired a good stand and
vigor he carefully avoids stirring the
soil around thestem of the plants, that
while the same Is hard and compact
the. beetles are prevented to enter and
get at the roots. Secondly, he applies
a spoonful of unslaked liG1e 10 the roots
Of every plant; TO the vines he applies
Paris green as applied TO the potato
vine, and the result of these three REM
edies isa saving Of most of the plants,
attributing Indifferent applications as
the cause of loss. Now, although we
admit the good effect of the Coils rem
edy and thankfully receive the infor-
nation, the application of it seems to
be based on errors. He knows that
something destroys the roots, and sup
poses the beetle to be the cause; packs,
therefore, the earth around the stem to
prevent its ingress. The lime may de-
strOy the lava and thus save the plant,
but here the lime has destroyed the
only enemy TO the roots, and the lime
alone. The packing of the earth wo'd
therefore seem to be unnecessary. 1t
seems to be true, as Mr.. Riley says in
his first report, that the beetles do enter
the earth through the cracks that are
made by the swelling and spreading Of
the seeds, but only to nip off the young
sprouts or leaves, thus destroying the
plants before it is even out of the
ground.
Meanwhile he who wants to pick the
squash, the melon or the cucumber, can
plant and SOW in hopes, for by applying
unslacked lime to the roots Of infested
plants and Paris green to the tops, be
they the worms or the beetles that
gnaw the roots, hewill have the fruit.
