was placed by his parents in the keep
ing of some people who had i'll treated
him, and he wrote to his father that If

with pleasure replied Gen. BONN,
delighted How many do you want?
AriStarchi, seeing that the General took

mote northern county Of Sutherland,
and has for many centuries been the
home of the chiefs of the Sutherland

4 Promising Horse.

We last week had the pleasure of look
sng at a very promising young stallion,
owned by Mr.. J. T. Stickney of Shore
BAN. He is four years old, a beautiful
mahogany bay, with black points in
color; full 1873 hands high, with very
long, bold, open and stylish carriage.
He has never been trained, but his easy,
open gait and manner of handling him
self give promise of more than ordinary
possibilities of speed when developed by
training. His pedigree also runs through
some of our best trotting stock. lie
was sired by belongs young Ethan.
His dam was by Sherman Black Hawk
His grand dam by Diomede. by Post
Boy. 1t will be seen by the above that
the blood of Justin Morgan has passed
down to Mr.. Stickney's young stallion
through the most celebrated of Old
Black Hawks stock, Ethan Allen by
his sire, and by his dam through his
next most celebrated son, Sherman's
Black Hawk. Both these lines have Civ
cn us some of the most celebrated of our
trotting horses. 1t would seem that this
Young stallion should give stock of large
size, line color (both sire and dam are
bay), good style and action, with good
promise Of speed; at all events good,
enduring roadsters.

Striped Snnash Beetle.

DR.. ii. A. Cutting, in the Vermont
Freeman, recommends the following
method of treating this pest
Covering the vines with box COW
cred on top with muslin has been con-
sidered the only sure remedy, though
powdered charcoal, lime, and sometimes
ashes, can be used with benefit. In ma
ny cases, however, the material sprink-
led on the leaf is as bad as the beetle.
fla handful of shavings be burned near
the hills in the evening, many of them
will fly into the flames. After various
experiments, have become satisfied
that covering the hills with common
newspapers is much the best means TO
be used; besides, you get an accelerated
growth of the plants. Just as soon as
the seeds are planted, or, at any event,
a day or two before the plants appear,
open q newspaper to its full size, and
spread it over the hill, letting it lie close
to the ground, and fasten it in place by
hoeing dirt on to the edges, so that no
gusts of wind can disturb it. The plants
thus covered will grow at least q third
faster than those not covered, are safe
from the beetle, and what is more, safe
from the eggs that produce the worm,
or masked stage of the pest. The plants
kept covered unit. the danger Is past
are more healthy in every way, produc-
ing blossoms several DAYS before those
not covered. 1t is seldom that once
covering will not answer all purposes,
but should it be torn off from any cause
1t can easily be replaced. ] have tried
different colors of paper, aud find white
or blue paper best adapted TO the pur-
pose. Other colors seem to give paler
green or sickly appearance to the plants.
Newspapers are easily obtained, and are
Just as good as clear white paper. 1t
against late frosts, and believe that
every person who tries this method of
protection will ever use il with entire
satisfaction"
