SPARE THE DESTROYERS OF THE
Potato BUG.


Anumber of insects aid the farmer AMI
gardener in keeping the greatest of po-
tato pests, the Colorado beetle, III check.
Lady-bugs, or "lady-birds, in their iar-
val state are among the most effective
enemies of the potato bug" doing wi
liable service in destroying both eggs
and larvae. The mature lady-brgs are
red, pink or bright color, with small
black dots, and should be known and
protected by all farmers.
Some of the tiger beetles do good
work against the potato beetle. The
Lydella doryphora is on internal para
site, closely resembling a common fly,
and is one of the most effective destroy
ers of the Colorado beetle. The female
fly attaches single egg to the body of
the potato larva The small, footless
maggot soon matches, burrows into the
body of it's victim, aud finally destroys
it. This fly may be seen buzzing about
in the summer. and ct times it is SO
abundant in potato fields as to remind
one of swarm of bees.
A species of mite (Uropoda Amori-
cana) attacks the beetle, and sometimes
SO covers its host that no part of the
beetle is visible. This external parasite
is about the size of a small pin-head,
and is yellowish brown.
Several birds feed upon the potato
beetle, among which is the too much
prosecuted crow. This sable bird will
even dig into the earth for the hibern IT.
ing individuals. The services of the
common quail are moderated in this
respect The rose-breasted grosbeak
has o fondness for the potato beetle,
and does much good by feeding upon
it. Ducks and chickens have learned
to eat the larvae, and some fowls have
overcome the native dislike for the
mature insect. Thirty or forty perfect
beetles have been found in a chickens
crop.
Among the quadrupeds the skunk
sometimes eats the potato beetle, VIII le
the common toad and black snake feed
freely upon this pest of the farm.
The various poisons employed, among
which Paris green and London purple
take the lead, are effective and easily
applied; but every precaution should be
taken to favor the natural enemies, and
thus help to so adjust the system of
nature that it will favor the healthful
growth of all farm and garden crops.
Spare the insect and other enemies of
the potato beetle, and there will be less
need of applying dangerous arsenical
compounds. --Americdn Agriculturist.

The Golden Spike.

The formal-and fnal-cermony of
completing the Northern Pacific rail-
road passed off most auspieiously
Saturday afternoon, the golden spike
being driven by Mr.. III. G.. Davis of
st. Paul, the man who drove the first
spike when the road was begun. The
ceremonies of the occasion were elab-
crate and in consonance with the i'm
portance of the great enterprise. The
junction of the east and west sections
was in Deer Park, about forty miles
west of Helena, and from both ways
came the thousands of people who
witnessed the last act. There were
hearty greetings between the Ameri-
can guests of the east and west, and
the occasion was regarded as a re-
markable one, and as presaging a pros
porous future. All were surprised at
what they beheld. Instead of the
wilderness of the Rocky Mountains
they beheld a magnificent pavilion
capable of seating more than a
thousand people, over which floated
the national colors of the American
German, and British nations. In,
front, reaching to the road bed, was
an extensive promenade, skirted by
platform with comfortable seats. To
the right was band stand, and on it
were seated the Fifth United States
infantry band, who were to entertain
them and who came all the way from
Fort Koch. But even stronger than
this evidence of civilization where
the scores of vehicles and the hum
dreds of hardy mountaineers gathered
to witness the final ceremonies.
When all was in readiness President
Willard addressed the assemblage,
first thanking them for their presence,
and after speaking of the large posi-
bilities of the country dwelt BRIEFLY
upon the history of the construction

The Prairie Mills,

From Secretary Ciayde n of the Prair-

which shows what our mill is doing
for Perham, and the farmers in this
section. During the year they have
paid to the farmers over 800 10000 for
wheat have shipped $500 barrels of
flour, and $4,000 bushels of wheat.
By this our people can see that the

OIL OF PEPPERMINT.

Peppermint is grown for its essence

of the supply comes from Wayne county.

from 800 acres The harvest begins IN Al.
gust, and the first years crop is the best.
The mint is cut with sickle, seythe or
moving machine. according TO the fancy OF
the cultivator. After cutting it ia allowed
to wither in the sun for five or six hours,
and is then raked into "cocks, where it
remains short time before being distilled.
1t is not every cultivator that is provided
with a still, but stills are found distributed
about the peppermint region at convenient
distances. The apparatus and method differ
from those employed in Europe, where the
fire is applied to the still. In America the
still consists of a wooden tub or vat of
heavy slaves booped with iron. The with
cred mint is packed into the vat by tread
ing with the feet until the vat is full, when
cover, made steam tight with rubber
packing, is fastened down with screw
clamps. 4 steam pipe connects the lower
part of the vat with steam boiler, and
another pipe from the center of the cover
connects the vat with the con6snsing worm.
The latter varies in size according to the
capacity of the still, but becomes progress
sively smaller toward the outlet. The
worm is SO placed as TO have a constant
stream of cold running water surrounding
it. The steam from the boiler being ad-
mitted to the vat at pressure of thirty to
forty pounds, the oil of the mint is volatil-
lied and mixed with the steam condensed
in the worm. The mixed oil and water
are collected in the receiver, where the diff
ference in their specific gravity causes
them to separate. No attempt is made to
redistill the water which separates, and
considerable loss of oil which is held in SO.
luton doubtless results from this lack of
economy. The oil is packed in tin cans, or
glass demiiohns, holding about twenty
pounds each. The glass demijohns are
much the best when the oil is to be kept
for any length of time, as its good quail
ties are more fully retained and it is less
liable to discoloration. Oil of peppermint
is sometimes adulterated with turpentine
and also with oil OF hemlock. Pure oil of
peppermint, as exported from Wayne
county, is colorless, and resembles the En-
glish oil, except that it, odor and taste are
somewhat less pungent and penetrating.
The oil deteriorates with age, and the
aroma becomes more faint; after certain
number Of years il thickens, and the color
becomes of yellowish tinge; exposed for
long time TO sir, 1t becomes resinous.

And crystal dews at the close OF day,
Voiced the pearly buds that. folded, hi ie

Under the floor so damp and cold,
Under the floor 10 the dearth and mold,
A strong root ran that felt the life
OF the outside W rid with beauty rife;
And 1t pushed tendril up to see
Ii any chance OF growth could be.
Nota CLINT was there of sun or dew,
Not CLEAN of light the darkness through
But cobwebs and clay, and pebbles aud dust;
1t must grew through these, if grow it must.
The roses bloomed by the window side,
Creamy and sweet and fair
The royal Gro gns Of royal June
The go OF a summers golden noon:
Cups Of the gods, distilling wide,
Ambrosia on the air.
Up through the steps OF stone so cold
Up througt. the steps tale was told
OF life that would live because it must,
OF life and growth in darkness and dust
For green leaf smiled at the blossoms rare
Showering their glory everywhere;
And more to me than the roses gold
Was the wealth of praise one leaf could hold.
