Perhaps the agricultural readers of the Re
publican, II not pleased, will be Interested TO
| learn that the Colorado Potato bu.-or Doryhora
| l0-liledtd of mturallsts, has made Its appear
ance in Delaware
In the early part Of the present month duly
| my attention was drawn to larva, new TO me-
| which, In considerable numbers, and Of all
sizes from an eighth to three quarters OF an inch
in lengtk-werJ bnsily engaged in devourng
| the leaves from u small patch Of early potatoes
in tile Ninth Ward Of this city.
at once pronounced them the larya OF the
Colorado Potato Beetle, and my suppositions
have proved correct, rs have since then taken
| from the vines some or 10 pe rfuct insects,
The larva are IA dull verlnilllon red color, with
a double row Of black dots along each side, and
In general shape like the larva OF the different
varieties OF Lady Bugs which are familiar to
most persons, They are found of all sizes from
those just Matched from the egg to the full grown
measuring FROM three hfths to three quarters of
| an inch in length, at whish time they are ready
| to change to the perfect beetle with wings,
wherewith to ty to some locality Hitherto free
from their ravages, and theie lay the eggs for "A
| future brood.
The perfect insect retains the color Of the
| larva, under the body, bur thu VIM cuyes are
| striped alLenlaie Whine and black. there hainp
hve black stripes On each lie head aul thor
AK Cor shoudels) are II reddish yellow with
| irregular black spots. The female measures
about half all inch In engJll-lhc male is Slight
| ly smaller.
The "Cultivator and Couutiy Gentleman" OF
the 18th inst, contains an excellent cut showing
the eggs, larya ofdidcrent sizes, and the perfect
| insect, single glancs at which would give Il
better idea than column Of printed dpscrip-
ton.
The ins ect and rene lies have been 80 fully
discussed in the papers that reference to thu,
latter seems scarcely necessary. The only re.
liable means 10 check their increase seems To
be hand picking and paris green. Til. latter
Is used by mixing IL with four times its wei III,
Of ground plaster or fine ashes and thoroughly
busting the vines while wet with dew or rain
Being compound of arsenic it is Of course
quite poisonous and should be used with care
aud kept out OF reach of children.

Ministering Spirits-Rev. Charles Hill pre- .cli
