This soon falls of blows of, but the other seems to pene- trate the pores and to remain quite 8 length of time, killing both bugs and larvss so completely that the correspon- dent says that he has sometimes crossed potato field without being able to find 8 single survivor. He thinks two appli. cations will generally suffice for 8 crop of Early Rose, and if judiciously ap- piled, the potato bug will cease to be g terror. Sliced potatoes sprinkled with poison should be used after the vines are dead to finish up the last of the sur vivors.

's O represents standard apple trees, thirty feet apart, forty-eight trees to the acre s, standard pears or cherries, thirty-five to the acre X, dwarf pears, dwarf apples, dwarf cherries, plums, peaches or quinces, eighty-two to the acre. There will be eight rows of apple trees, six trees in row, on an acre. Mir. Peters arguments in favor of this plan are substantially as follows 1t is a great loss to plant and grow an orchard on the old principle-trees forty to fifty feet apart. This arrangement provides for 165 trees to the acre instead of twenty y-seven, as on the old plan, thus putting on one acre what would require six acres, planted forty feet apart. It is easier and cheaper to fertilize and cultivate one acre than six. The inter- xening trees, being dwarfs and close growers, will not interfere at all. The trees can be headed so low as to shade the ground and trunks, which is indis- , pensable to successful fruit growing. ; Grain or grass seed should never be sown in a young orchard, and with this close arrangement there is no in ducement to do SO, as the farmer cannot turn in stock without having his young fruit trees destroyed"
 zszs Prepare for Potato Bugs.
 In time of peace prepare for war. Be- fore the time comes for planting pota- toes have everything ready for the bugs. Early planting will prove no defense. The Jugs in the West emerge from the soil as soon as the frost is out, and may be seen patiently watching the young shoots, and even going beneath the sur. face to meet them. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman suggests slic. ing potatoes, sptinkhng them with paris green, and placing them in the fields when the shoots are just breaking ground. This will destroy nearly all ! the beetles before they can lay any eggs. The farmer may then rest contented until the first crop of larv@ is hali gown, when tablespoonful of paris
 ses should be mixed with eight or ter

We call the special attention Of our
readers in another column to the ad-
vcrtisement of Cook 4 McCue. These
gentlemen are general agents for
Robaugh's Little Giant Pumps,
manufactured in Ottumwa, and at
tracing SO much attention with pump
dealers. These pumps possess real
excellencics for all purposes as a
force and lift pump combined, and an
additional feature of portability for
sprinkling lawns, washing windows,
extinguish fires, etc. These pumps,
for simplicity, durability. effective
ness and easy and regular manner Of
working, cannot be cxcelled. The
pump consists of q central tube, which
guides q piston in the usual manner,
surrounded by an outer tube of
larger diameter, forming o chamber
around the inner tube, the outer tube
having an extension Of smaller diam
etcr, in which q second piston ID
guided with a central valve. The
water is raised by the up-strokc Of
the lower piston, into the lower part
of the main tube, until nearly filled
each up and down stroke forcing them
by the joint action ofthe pistons,so tina,
a continued flow Of watcr issues from
the discharge pipe. The pump is no,
liable to accident by freezing or by tho
water running out from the pump
They have been thoroughly tested by

used exclusively by them in prefer

GENERALS JoHN M. CoRsE, Prcsi.
dent, and Dan Cameron, Secretary oil
the "National Veteran Reform Ass0-
ciation," have issued from their head
quarters, room %, Palmer House,
Chicago, an open letter to General
Sherman, which caps the climax for
unmixed impertinence, to put it mild
lily. In behalf of the bummers who
were hired at SO much per day dur
ing the past campaign to attend "sol-
der" meetings at Indianapolis and
elsewhere, it assumes to dictate to
Sherman not to obey the orders of the
President in the present crisis. 1t,
moreover, virtually advises the rank
and file Of the army to mutiny, and
calls upon all men who carried mus
kets and swords in the late war to
send in their names and enlist in the
National Veteran Reform Associa-
tion," under the banners of Corse and
Cameron.
In the course Of a long and very
severe editorial denunciation of
Messrs. Corse and Cameron, the Chi
cago Tribune concludes as follows:
"We have no idea that any consid-
cradle number Of the i who
fought under the American flag in
the late war can be rallied under q
flag Of resistance in the cause Of Sam
Tilden, who then denounced them as
strespassers,' who has never yet re-
canted the contempt he heapcd upon
them, and who never aided or en-
couraged, by word or deed, the cause
in which they risked their lives. We
have no idea that any considerable
number Of men who were real SOL
diers and sailors in the fight for the
Union will now enlist in a war for a
lot of gaunt and hungry oficc-seekers
under the lead Of men like Tildcn
and Hendricks, who formerly led the
craven Copperheads Of the North.
We have no idea that this sopen let
ter to Gen. Sherman will receive any
more consideration from the volun-
teer soldiers of the late war than it
will from General Sherman himself.
Our only regret is that q couple Of
Chicago men should court general
notoriety by an appeal that must be
regarded as either reasonable or
bombastic, and calculated to make
them either odious or ridiculous in
the eyes Of intelligent and patriotic
people everywhere"

was much more severe than at this
place. The trains on the Central II.

unable to make their regular trips,
and the Express train due here last
night, has been unable to get nearer
than Grinnell. The train going north,
leaving here yesterday noon, is re-
ported stuck fast in a snow-drifl, and
the wind blowing a gale, filling the
cuts as fast as men could clear them
with shovels. There was no train
north from here to-day, and there
will be none until the arrival of the
south-bound train now at Grinnell.
The mail train on the Valley Road,
due here at $50 r. NJ, yesterday,
stuck fast in the now at or near
Mitchellville, and did not arrive un-
til about u o'clock at night. The
west bound train was also reported
fast in a snowdrift beyond MITCHELL
vile. However, that road is report
ed all right to-day, and the trains for
the west left on time.
The G. B. & @. from the cast was
about four hours behind time, and
