To Destroy Insects.

The grayiSh black squash bug is
difficult to manage. Gathering the eggs
and the old bugs early in the spring
is laboriOus but sure, if thoroughly
done. The bugs will crawl upon a
piece Of board laid among the vines,
and may be gathered and caught. The
use of pOisons will do no good in the
case of the bugs, as they do not eat
the leaves, but pass their beaks
through the outside of the leaf to
suck the juices, and will not consume
any of the poison. In a series Of eX-
periments in the method of prevent
Ing the attacks of the squash vine Dor
er the representatives. employed were
paris green at the rate Of half tea
spoonful to two gallons of water, corn
cobs dipped in coal tar, and the kero-
sene emulsion; the application of the
paris green and the kerosene was re-
peated after every hard rain until
September; the cobs were dipped in
coal tar again once in three weeks.
All three Of the applications seemed to
be beneficial, with perhaps little
something in favor of the corncobs
as being cheapest and most convenient.
The odor of the tar has no effect on
the insects, but sometimes repels the
moth, causing her to lay her eggs else
where.

a lever which terminates close to the
handle of the implement. The gatherer
is placed in the rear of the cutter. In
front of the cutter are pair of small,
light wheels 1t will be seen that after
bringing the implement close to the
weed a pull ON the lever is all that is
required to operate the cutter. AS the
implement is pushed on to the next

Reminiscence of AndersOnvflIeo

have been reading at different times
articles written by different comrades
with regard to the Wirz monument.
Now l would like to have my say. In
1868, I, with several Of my friends,
was making tour of the South, not
altogether for our health, but to see
the country as we'll. We had a very
pleasant and enjoyable time until we
got down in Georgia. Here we became
involved in a difficulty with some Of
the citizens there. If 1 remember
Alright, several shots were fired. How
ever, my friends with myself were ar
rested for disturbing the peace and
taken to Andersonville for trial. Dur
ing the time we were waiting for our
case to be called we boarded at +he
hotel where Capt. Wirz was manager.
At first we supposed he was the owner,
but afterwards learned that 1t belong
ed to a company at Richmond, Va. A
man by the name of Davis was presi-
dent. I have forgotten who the direc-
tors were. Mr. WirZ was not q hand

seen them run up North. But thinking
it was q Southern idea, and as we
were unavoidably detained, we would
make the best of it that we could. Dur
ing the seven months that I had tho
pleasure Of enjoying his hospitality I
learned to detest him instead of admir-
ing him. At the end of seven months
my case was disposed of, and l return
