Camph0r.

The approach of the warm weather brings with
it general laying aside of furs and winter
clothing, and the duty devolves on the careful
housewife of packing such wearing apparel away
until another season. CamphOr is in almost uni
versal use for protection against moths, and the
demand has increased in very marked degree
this season, owing, doubtless, to the fact that
the price is fully fifty per cent, less than last
year. This reduction caused by law of
Congress abolshing the duty on camphor, which
went into effect on the LIST of August, lS72
Camphor is brought to this country from China
and Japan in the crude state, and presents, i'll
this condition. a not very inviting appearance,
looking like a mass of dirty white salt, with the
oror prevailing in a very marked degree. This
is sent to the camphor disiilerS, of whome there
but few in the United States-;he bulk of
that sold in he market being distilled in New
Hampshire. This is the only one in the New Eli
gland States, and the Others are In New York
State. In the process of distilling, the crude
camphOr is placed in square or round pans, I'M
der which fire is kindled. These pans
cred with metal covers, cOncavc aud square,
with small hole in them to give the vapOr
chance 10 escape. By the application of the
heat the camphOr ascends to the cover and there
crystalizes, leaving the refuse in the bottom of
the pan. Then the refined camphor is taken
from the covers, packed in cases, aud is ready
for the market. Fifteen to twenty per cent. of
the crude is lost in process of distillation.

A letter from Prof. Packard has inst been pub

1.-THE 'pOtatO-bug' may he looked for early in
june Its eggs will be found on the under sur
face of the leaves; they are bright Ornnge-red,
and quite large. The beetle itself is roundish

on the back, and is reddish underneath. 1t il

sembles it, The grub is thick, fat, and orange
red in color, lives about ten days OH the leaves
and stems, after which il enters the ground to
become beetle. Tins nearly all the life of the
insect is passed on the plant. The offspring of
last years beetles will begin to Law eggs in abOut
fifty days from the time the egg from which it.
self sprang was deposited. Probably not more
than two crops of them will appear in our eli
mate, but each female is capable of producing
more than Thousand eggs.
"The remedies are Manipulating, both of the
mature beetle, the grubbs, and the eggs. They
should all be burned. Paris green is also largely
used. This is a most deadly poison, containing
arsenic. 1t is almost insOluble in water. 1t may
be mixed with plaster, Honr, fine dry earth,
and busted on the plants from sitter or bellows
or applied stirred up in water, about a table
spoonful TO pailful, and thrown from a syringe,
or sprinkled from a watering pot. In any case,
great care must be taken not to breathe the dust
or handle with naked hands.
"a number of specimens collected in New York
are being analysed in the laboratory of the sta
tion. They range in price from % cents per
pound (whOlesale) to Is cents and contain from
lO3 to 46 per cent. of insOluble adulteratiOns
The arsenic varies from 50 per cent. in the best
to 20 per cent. in the lower grades. Some arc
mixtures of Scheeles green, others are Schwein.

al! per cent. of arsenious acid, and 2S4 per cent
Of copper oxide. The latter shOuld contain SIS
per cent. arsenious acid, 81 per cent. copper OK
ide, and 10 per cent. acetc acid. From these
facts it appears that it will be most economical
to buy the best. Ask for pure Paris green 1t
will probably cost so cents per pound If it seems
to be of doubtful quality send a small sample to
the station at Mddetown for ANALYSIS, first find

should be lost if the potatO-crop is to be saved,
as the beetle has appeared in alarming numbers
