The Potato Bug.

In answer TO inquiries as TO the best
exterminator, the Buffalo Lire Stock
Journal SAYS, we can only say that
from trial of several different ones, we
find sulphuric acid, (oil of yitrioD di-
luted with fifty times its weight of
water, a perfect remedy, killing the
bugs and not injuring the vines. This
is much safer than Paris green, as after
diluiion with fifty parts of water, it is
entirely safe TO handle. Sprinkle on
with common watering pot. This
is not always of the same strength, and
if the druggists acid is obtained. use
seventy parts water TO one of acid.
This also is the cheapest remedy.
NJ. H. Howell, Holland City, Michi-
gan, writes the Fruit Recorder as fol-
lows:
perhaps some of your readers may
be troubled with the festive potato
bug, more than they would like to be.
They do not trouble me, and would
not any one, if they viii do as / do.
We all know the old ones do no harm,
but the young ones do the mischief.
Kill is the cure-not with Paris green
Il advise none to use it; it is poison,
dangerous and expensive. Go 10 the
woods, pull and dig up an arnful or
sackful of mandrake roots. Boil all
The strength out, then reduce it con-
siderably, sprinkle tops of potatoes
with small bunch Of hemlock boughs
tied together In the morning all will
be on their backs-dead."
Let the brightest boy or girl in each
farmers family, cut out the above ar
ticle, and read il to any neighbor who
is so unfortunate as to take no news
paper, and then paste it up, in a sight
~ place, in the nearest mill or black
smith shop. This is one way to do
great good. at little cost.

Who Kills the Birds i?


One of the most intelligent nursery
men of this country keeps his shotgun
ready, and kills every bird that comes
Oh the place, and then writes poetry
TO the Kansas Farmer describing the
10000 bugs and inscts that are devour-
ing his fruit--Er.
The long-eared gentlemen who wrote
the above lines ought to know that
Kansas contains no such nurseryman.
Farmers and nurserymen, with very
few exceptions, know too well the val
ne of birds to kill them. Our obsery-
walton as farmer in Kansas, for about
eight years, leads us TO know that the
birds are hunted and killed by the
most lazy, shiftless, worthless, thiev-
ing class of men and boys to be found
in the towns. They overrun farms,
trample down grain, rob orchards and
vineyards in the pursuit of birds and
other game. Another class of hunters
that hail from the towns are the gen.
teel sportsmen, who with dogs and
guns ruthlessly slaughter birds for
game and for amusement. This thread
bare advice to farmers, Oh the part of
papers, just now very popular, urging
them to no longer kill the birds, should
be addressed to the parties most large
" TO blame.
Let this strain of advice be turned
Oh 10 the loating vagabonds of the
towns, the well dressed and the ragged
who are to be found in the small towns
as well as the cities, whose chief en-
ploymcnt seems TO be ornamentlng
street corners, store goods boxes, sa-
looms, etc, the fellows who haunt the
FREQ lunch tables, whose means of Sc
curing livelihood is a mystery TO all
honest men. Let us have the merits
of the bird-killers from the city can
vassed kansas Farmer.

In our exchanges for the past few
weeks we perceive the Grange move
ment has got to be OF sufficient impor-
lance to receive favorable notice from
the New York World. The World
discovers beauties in the Grange order
now, with the naked eye, that it could
not perceive with telescope two years
ago. Mr.. Belmont has found out that
there is movement OH foot among the
farmers of the West that even frown
from the great World cannot put down.

To Prevent Cows from Sucking
Themselves.

Mr. John Hudson, reliable citizen
of Wilson, says the following method
is effective:
Get your tinman TO make half-inch
tube of heavy tin, well soldered, leav-
ing both end open, of the proper
length to reach through the cows
mouth in the manner of bride bit.
Punch eight one-eighth inch holes in
this tube near the middle and one inch
apart, as follows: Two in the upper
side two in the lower, and two in each
Of the other two sides. Solder small
ring to each end, and it is finished
Fastcn string or strap to one ring,
put the bit in the cows mouth, bring
ing the strap over her head and fasten
it to the other ring, and she has done
sucking herself Ny bit made accord
ing to the above description cost just
ten cents.-Er.

A Mich Cow

L. G., in the Country Gentleman
writes: "A mich cow should be quiet
and coRtented. She will have TO be
petted and made much of. This influ-
ences her domesticity, and that, in the
mich COW, seems to be allied TO the
maternal feeling which prompts to lac
teal secretion. But whether this is so
or not, certain it is that where a single
COW is petted and we'll taken care of,
there is q great increase in the milk
over her former yield when kept in the
herd. | have known quite number
of such cases. | never knew one that
did not show this Improvement. And
now we have come TO the point in dis
cussion-thc difference in the quality
of herds with respect TO their size.
Treat each of the members of the herd
like the one taken from it and kept as
q single cow. and the whole herd
would be improved. 1t would be i'm
proved to such an extent as would not
wei be done by mere selection. My
experience has revealed TO me the fact
that our native cows, which form the
staple of our diaries, are capable of
great improvement. probably because
they came of good blood originally
when brought over, but have been
abused or permitted to run down. 1t
needs only good treatment to bring
them up to good point. This is my
experience, and is one of the principal
sources of profit in securing a dairy
herd. There are oows-the Ayrshires
that give more milk, and the Jerseys,
that have more cream, but for profit
on the whole, the common native, so
far as the writer's experience goes, sur
passes them both-onlv, however, when
the treatment is discriminating and
thorough. Then the advantage, with
tie whole herd, will be similar TO that
of the one COW separated from it. But
this is seldom fully realized, because
the requisite pains are not taken, and
the principle is not sufficiently under
stood -
