For the past twenty years or since
the appearance of the potato bug and
other. plant and vine eating pests. hun
dreds of new insectides have been plac-
ed on the market. and the farmer has
been asked to experiment with same at
his own expense. and the results have
not been what the farmer expected or
what the manufacturers claimed. What
the farmers have long looked for is am
article that would be non-poisonous and
at the same time have Il deadly effect
on the bugs and worms.
Such an article was looked for in vain
until 1896 when the Danforth Chemi-
cal Company of Leominster, Mass, plac-
ed on the market non-poisonOus powder
called Bug Death. This has been test
cd and is now used by the farmers of
New England and New York State, and
the testimonials which have been receiv-
ed by the manufacturers have been over
wheming i'll praise of this article. The
Julius Lewis Hardware Company of
Raleigh, y. c.. have obtained the agency
for the State of North Carolina. Com
ing as it does with the strongest endorse
ment from both the dealers and the
farmers we predict for this enterprising
firm a large sale of these goods. They
will be pleased to furnish free, upon
application. sample package. also a
circular giving Il better description of
the goods.
The Danforth Chemical Company are
issuing a very handsome illustrated cal
endar, which they VIII send free of

Raleigh, \. G.
Bug Death is entirely different from
anything that has ever been placed on
the market and overcomes all objec-
tons to deadly poisons which the farm
ers have been obliged to use in the past.
1t is just as effective as Paris green
and other dangerous and deadly poison
Gus insect powders. 1t is sure death to
the potato. squash and cucumber bugs
cabbage, tomato and tobacco worm, also
other plant and vine-e eating pests. 1t is
a plant food and the more freely used
the more the plant will thrive. 1t is n
preventive of blight, and the extra yield
will more than pay for the expense of
Bug Death.
The way for farmers to do is to make
a test of Bug Death with some other
poisonous preparations, but i'll order to
obtain the best results, there must be
nothing used on the same plant or vines
during the season. for if Bug Death is
once used and another Matching of bugs
comes and the farmer puts ON some
arsenic preparation, the bad effects from
the deadly poison are liable to offset all
the beneficial effects of Bug Death.
1t is impossible to injure the most ten
dcy plant or vine, however freely it may
be used. Use according to directions.
and wonderful and pleasing results will
surely follow. For potatoes, have rec
commended using 121a pounds per acre
to the application.
Danforth Chemical Company are in
creasing their business with rapid
strides. From sale of less than one
ton in 1896, they will be obliged to
manufacture more than 1000 tons TO
supply their trade the coming season.
