Death to the Striped Bug.

TWILL tell potato-growers how I man
aged the potato bug last year with sue
cess. They came into my potatoes from
the West in great numbers; indeed, they
were so thick that it seemed impossible
for all to get a nip at the delicious plants.
am naturally a coward, but will fight
when necessity demands it, and went to
work on the insolept invaders in the fol-
lowing manner: procured some long
straw and a. match, and commenced in
front of them by setting fire to the straw
at one end and taking hold of the other
and dragging it between the rows; the
wind being in the east, blew the blaze
among the vines, and not part of them
was untouched. l never saw an army
thrown into so much confusion-they
found they had assaulted the wrong
enemy, and retreated very disorderly.
Some arose into the air, others went on
foot; but as l came back in the other
row they were overtaken and received
another volley of fire and smoke. Thus
I continued until had gone over the
whole patch-and it was great satisfac-
ton, when l walked over the battle
ground an hour later, to find the dead
and wounded laying there thickly, de-
serted by their comrades, who, through
fear, did not wait to bid farewell nor
give decent burial. The objects of my
pride were left unhurt-the bugs ever af-
ter considering that forbidden soil-and
good crop was the result. Let him who
doubts try the experiment, being careful
to pass quick enough to save the potatoes
from scorching, and slow enough to
scare the bugs, which is known by their
letting 90 their hold and skedaddling.-

Lice ON Cattle.

THE North British Agricultural, in an
article on vermin on cattle, gives some
suggestions as how to treat the pest. 1t
would take time Ivy the foretop, and on the
slightest indication of their presence
make prompt examination, and if lice
are detected apply remedy. 1t is useless
to wait until the unfortunate wretch has
removed the hair from his own skin and
spread his tormentors among his fellows.
The pediculi, or lice, of which almost
every animal has its own peculiar species,
are not difficult to kill. A good scrubbing
with soft soap and water will remove
them. Linseed or ny'other oil prevents
their migrating, and destroys them; but
the efficacy of the oil is increased when to
every pint is added an ounce of impure
carbolic acid, or of Burnett's zinc cholo.
ride solution. Decoctions of tobacco and
stavesacre also poison the vcrmin, an
ounce to the pint of water being generally
used. Where the animals have been
much infested, second dressing should
take place about week after the first
and brushing, cleanliness, and usually a
more liberal dietry also enjoyed.

The Onion MaggOt.

The maggot is the onion-grower's
worst foe, and those who endeavor to
crush the power of an enemy before it
becomes troublesome are wiser than
those who endeavUr to put stop to Its
progress after it has become formidable.
1t is generally admitted that the maggot
is the onion fly in its larval state, or in
its first stage after leaving the egg. 1t is
in this stage of its existence, and no
other, that it can be styled an insect in
furious to vegetation; and if we can de-
stroy the eggs, or prevent their being de-
posted in the onion fields, we are at
once rid of the enemy.
Having noticed some of the habits of
the onion fly, am inclined to the opinion
that they select, as far as possible, par
TALLY decomposed onion tops in which to
deposit their eggs. When onion tops
and solutions are allowed to decay upon
the surface of the ground, in process of
time they become a natural breeding bed
and attract flies from the surrounding
country in larger numbers than can be
accommodated by those beds. They next
attack the weaker plants, and sometimes
those which are making strong, luxuri-
ant growth, to puncture and deposit their
eggs in the stalk. If the weather is
warm these eggs hatch in few days,
and the maggots commence their depre-
dations upon the crop.
1t has been my own practice to care
fully turn under all refuse matter upon
the onion field late in the autumn, dress
literally with well-fined manure, leaving
it upon the surface exposed to the anne
liorating influence of the winters frost
and the drenching rains of springtime;
sow early in thoroughly pulverized
ground, and attend carefully to the after
culture. With this treatment the crop
usually gets an early start, makes Wig
orous growth, and is able to Withstand
all attacks of the enemy or changes in the
weather. think damage by the maggot
in this vicinity would not amount to 5
per cent. of the crop in the most unfavor-
able years.-Cor. Neo England Farmer.

AT the foot of the Rocky Mountains,
Just within the Canadian Dominion, there
has been established a thieves and out
laws paradise which already numbers a
population of 500 men, besides some
women and children. These people are
fugitives from outraged United States

NIGHTEALL: A PICTURE.

BIT ALFRED ,. STREET.
Low burns the summer afternoon;
A mellow lueter lights the scene;
And from its smiling beauty soon
The purpling shade will chase the sheen.
The old, quaint homcstcad's windows blaze;
The cedars long, black pictures show;
And broadly slopes one path Of rays
Within the barn, and makes 1t glow.
The loft stares out-the cat intent,
Like carving. on some gnawing rat
With sun bathcd hay aud raftcrs bent,
hooked, cobwebbed homes Of wasp and bat.
The harness. bride. saddle dart
CLEANS from the lower. rough expanec;
At either side the STOPPING cart,
Pitchfork, and pillow cast looks aekance.
White Dobbin through the .table-doors
Shows his round shape: faint color coats
The manger, where the farmer pours,
With rustling rush. the glancing oats.
A sun-haze strcaks the dusky shed;
Makes spears Of seams and gems Of chinks;
In notified gloss the straw Is spread;
And the gray grindstOne duly blinks.
The sun salutes the lowest west
With gorgeous tints around 1t drawn;
A beacon on the mountains breast,
A crescent. shred, y star-and gone.
The landscape now prepares for night;
A gauZy mist slow settles round;
Eve shows her hues in every sight,
And blends her voice with every sound.
The sheep stream ripping down the dell,
Their smooth. sharp faces pointed straight;
The pacing kline, with tinkling bell,
Come grazing through the pasture-gate.
The ducks are grouped, and talk In fits:
One yawns with stretch VI leg aud wing;
One rears and fans. then. settling. sits;
One at moth makes awkward spring.
The geese march grave in Indian file,
The ragged patriarch ut the head;
Then. screaming. hutter OF awhile,
Fold up, and once more stately tread.
Brave chanticleer shows haughtiest air;
Hurts his shrill vaunt with lofty bend:

With the grouped geese-a pallid mark
And scattered bushes black between.

With tickle light that CLEANS and dies;

The cat, a pair OF providing eyes.
Still the sweet. fragrant dark o'erfows
The deepening air and darkening ground;
by its rich scent l trace the rose,
The vicwless beetle by its sound.
The cricket scrapes its rib-like bars;
The trec-toad purrs in whirring tone;
And now the heavens are set with stars,
And night and quiet reign alone.

What He Owed His Wife.

The recent death of Mr.. Williston, OF
East Hampton, moves the Springfield
Republican TO tell how the foundation of
his vast estate was laid. The Republican
says: 49,, , . A.,
Williston owes his success in life to his
wife, Miss Emily Graves, daughter OF
Elnathan Graves, q Williamsburg farmer,
to whom he was married in the spring of
1922, when twenty-seven years old, and
who still survives him, sweet old lady
of seventy-sevcn. Mrs. Williston, at the
instigation of her mother, sought
some labor which might prove remune1-
alive and assist her husband in his ad.

as . contribution to the cause of foreign

give, and the proceeds of the sales were

Board President Humphrey, of Am

from those buttons, which is q voucher
for their orthodoxy. The second gross
was sent to Arthur Tappan, Mr.. Willis

contracted for twenty-f five gross at % q

that his wife was making more money
than he, 80 he sold his sheep for what
sheep and land together had cost, and
began the manufacture of sewed but
tons. The business soon grew beyond
their expectations. Other families WERE
drawn into the work. Mr.. Willistor
