THE COLORADO Potato BEETLE.

rh, Colorado potato beetle will soon
begin IT. ravages. and farmers should be
prepared to meet himlpi omplly. The fol-
lowing communication from an Illinois
correspondent TO the New York Sun is
submitted for the consideration OF our
readers. The plan is one that was prac-
ticed by many in Maine last year, and
was attended with success;
We have discarded Paris green and all
other poisons, for by using them we are
rs likely to kill friends as foes among IN
sects, and an indiscrmiGate slaughter Is
poor policy. The Colorado beetle ap-
peared 10 this region OF country IN 1861,
and nearly ruined our potato crop tor the
next ;hree years. We tried Paris green
and other poisons, without attaining COM
ple,e success Dat now we have no more
trouble in managing this pest than we do
noxiuus weeds. Our method of destroy
ing them is as follows In the spring, rs
soon as the beetles make their appearance
on the vines, we 90 over the field and
gather every beetle that can DC found, and
scald them with hot water. One hand
will 20 over an acre in day. We 90
over the vines once Il week Tor about
three weeks only, and then let the lady
bird take care OF what comes after thus.
Some OF the lady-birds OF lady-buss, as
tney are known by both names. wtil not
only eat the eggs OF the potato
beetle. but the larva or grabs in addition.
There are but comparatively few OF the
potato beetles that live over winter, but
the lew that do CON through alive multi
ply very rapiply, aud would soon Oyerrun
an entire town or county.

Germ: What Part of Ear to
Plant.

1t has become the almost unlNer-
sal custom for careful farmers TO
break of the butts and tips Of the
ears they select for seed corn, thus
planting only the middles. Wheth-
er this is a %judicious practice we
know not, for 50 far rs we know
the question Is still an open one
for experiment. MetXger, a Ger
man writer, quoted by Darwin,
cultivated IN Germany several kinds
of maize from the hotter parts of
America, and found that IN two OF
three generations the grains be
came greatly changed IN form, size
and color; and he expressly states,
reference to two races, that III the
first generation. whilst the lower
grains retained their proper char
acter, the uppermost grains III the
ear began to assume the character
which IN the third generation was
acquired by all the grains. This
one experiment would seem TO midi
cate a greater stability Of character
to the kernels of the butt, and IN
dicates a value attached to this por-
ton of the a for perpetuatlng 4
rare variety.
Some apparently careful expert
ments given III the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural Rcportfo 1871 indicate an
increase in length of the ears, orig
mating from the tip kernels, and 4
decrease in circumference. If this
indication should hold good, we
have here a means Of lengthcning
our ears and diminishing the cob,
by a selection of seed from the up
permost portion OF the ear. Tn
fortunately We have no hint as to
the number, weight or size Of the
individual grains, as the yield APP
pears to be expressed IN bushels OF
ears, not grain.
The results are given IN the fol-
lowing table =
