HnM 10 Get Rld nf Rats.

A writer in the Scientific American
says he cleared his premises of the de-
testable vermin by making whitewash
yellow with copperas, and covering the
stones and rafters in the cellar with it.
In every crevice in which a rat might go,
he put the crystals of the copperas, and
scattered in the corners of the floor. The
result was the complete disappear
ance of rats and mice. Since that time
not rat or mouse has beer seen near
tine house. Every spring the cellar is
coated with the yellow wash as a purifier,
and as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dyseutery or fever attacks the family.
Never allow rats and mice to be poisoned
IN the house; they are apt to die between
the walls and produce much annoyance,

Hon Re.t o Treat the 500 Beetle.
Rural Vow YORK;.


Again some writer's are talking of the
economy of hand picking potato beetles.
If this is well attended TO, there will be
no eggs deposi.ed on the leaves, they
say. Do they speak from experience, or
do they write such stuff because it seems
plausible. Years ago we diligently pick
ed ana killed. once every day, every po-
tato beetle to be seen on patch 800 feet
soaare. and vet there were, so far as
aou!d be judged, just as many eggs de 4
posted and Matched as if this tedious
work had neye been done;
while the soil between the rows was kept
hard up being walked over so often. The
fact Is that the beetles are to Ice found
in every crack of the soil under little
clods and stones, about the stems and
creeping everywhere. One may pick off
all the beetles from the plants AT 10
o'clock, and at IL o'clock they will be as
thick as ever. Hand picking destroys
just so many beetles certainly; and there
are just so many less; but it is like re-
moving mound of earth pebble by peb-
BILE, or emptying tub of water drop by
drop. The work has no appreciable effect
We have tried every method of killing
potato beetles. For one entire season
we tried London purple, but found that if
applied the least bit too strong, it would
injure the foliage, because the water col
lects wherever the leaf will hold it, and
evaporates, leaving a film of paris green.
We now use pure paris green and plaster
one pound to a barrel of plaster and
see that it Is thoroughly mixed with rake
and noe. The first application is made
as soon as the plfnts get well out of the
ground and the second when the grubs
make their appearance. A fourth is not
needed for oarly DotatOpS

hours before his death, and passed pain
lessly away surrounded 10y his family.
During the early part of last evening
he appeared to be failing, and it was felt
certain that he could not live through the
night, At eleven o'clock he revived some
what, and was given milk and stimulants
in small quantities. The effect was for
the worse, however, for he at once re-
lapsed into a comatose condition his
pulse becoming very feeble During the
succeeding three hours he failed gradu-
ally, his respiration growing noticeably
weaker until the end came
The cause of Davis death WAS Bright's
disease of the kidneys aggravated by the
weakening condition of the system, dat
ing from the time when he became atllict-
ed with carbuncle His last hours were
calm and peaceful.
