HOW TO KILL BEETLES
Many People interested in Rid
 ding Town of inc Pest.

The whole town is now up in arms against the beetles and while things took like victory for the people, so far the pesky little beetles are holding their own and show no signs of quitting. Nearly everybody has a weapon of his own, but the one in common use is kerosene emulsion, a preparation recommend ed by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station. The receipt Is as follows:
 Two gallons of kerosene, one-halt pound of common soap, one gallon of water. Dissolve the soap in the hot water, add the kerosene, and turn together until a white creamy mass is formed which thickens on cooling, dilute nine times before using
 It should be borne in mind that this is by no means the only solu- tion that will do the work, but 1t is probably about as effective as anything and is said to be not so likely to injure the trees as some or the others. Some say tobacco water puts the beetles out Of business m short order and MT German, for many years an employe of the city government, says he has a receipt that would not only kill every beetle that came in contact with 1t, but it would also drive out all the others. Mir German is not giving the secret away for nothing, but he isn't ask ing a fortune for it.
 Superintendent Walker and his men are operating on the trees in Union square park to-day and they found more of the pests there than they expected to see, although they have not yet done much damage to the trees.
 In the lawn of the Convent of Notre Dame a couple of men are spraying the trees and similar work is going on in almost every section In the city where the elm tree beetle has gained a foothold.
