DESTROY THE POTATO BUGS,
How to Get Rid Of These Destructive
Little Pests Of the
Garden.

For the family potato patch the
quickest way is to hand pick the old
bugs. The bugs may be easily caught
when torpid early in the morning. One
bug. II is said. will lay several hun.
dred eggs. BY gathering the bugs
there will be few worms. When the
young worms are found in the heart
OF the potato vines the best method ID
to dust with paris green and plaster.
One tablespoonful OF pure paris green
mixed In one peck Of dry plaster will
be enough to dust one-quarter OF an
acre OF potatoes. When the worms
are in the small foliage surrounding
the blossoms and when the worms
are half grown and are spread over
the leaves twice this quantity must be
used. Two dustings will be neces.
sary to kill the first and second
broods. Buy the best quality of paris
green. Old green or green that has
been exposed to the air is nearly
worthless for killing worms. Use
plenty OF dry powdered plaster. The
plaster is excellent to increase the
growth OF the vines. The best time to
apply the mixture IL early in the
morning when the leaves are damp
from dew.

The Life OF a Bio Gun.

In his testimony before the United
States house committee on naval az
fairs. Rear Admiral Mason recently
estimated the life of an eightinch gun
at 800 rounds. AS first constructed.
the i2.inch gun began to deteriorste
by erosion at so rounds; but by reduc-
ing the velocity and using a broader
copper rifiing band. its life has been
extended TO about $50 rounds. After
$50 rounds 1t would be necessary TO
refine the gun at cost OF $4,000.
which is about one-fourth the hrst
cost of the gun.

The gold dollar In the United

the silver dollar is likely TO follow IL
at least to some extent into its in
noeuous desuetude. The reason for
this seems TO be simply that the gov
eminent has ceased its practice of
paying the expressage on the ship
ments of silver dollars. Banks, there

Speed Of FIIaht Of Pigeons.

OF our game birds the most gre
garious and most beautiful passenger
pigeon, now unhappily practically ex
tinct, is or was doubtless the most
rapid of continuous flyers; yet to a
total length Of 1914 inches its wings
length Is about seven and eight.tenths
inches, a proportion less favorable for
speed than with certain other less
rapid species of its family, says a
writer in Outing Magazine. Their
sustained speed certainly exceeded a
mile minute. and some authorities
nave estimated it as high as 120
miles per hour The fact, often quoted.
nat the wild rice of the Carolinas was
sometimes found in the stomachs OF

yelous speed and endurance.

Short Weights.

More than q hundred dealers
most of them grocers, were before
the courts in New York last week
charged with short-weighting their
customers. Nesrly all were con-
victed and fined. Some'ot them en-
tered the plea Of guilty and asked
the mercy of the court.
Here is a crusade against robbery
that ought to be extended to the
entire country. We do not know
how much of it is going on, but the
revelations in New York have been
astonishing,
When people are compelled to pay
high prices for food and then stand
short weights on top of it, there is
something foe law officers to be do
ing.
Go to your meat dealer, Or your
grocer, buy something by the pound,
and then have the amount weighed
on officially corrected scales, was
the plan adopted in New York to
catch the short.weighers. In num-
bers of instances people paid for 80
ounces of steak and got from "a to
% ounces. No samples tested weigh
ed as much as the customer called
for and paid for.
Grocers advertised a given mum.
Der of pounds of sugar for one dol.
lar. When put on the official scales
these packages were found to be
from one to two pounds short. A
policy like this violates the law and
is bad morals.
The Bible says that "a short
weight is an abomination to the
Lord" Under present conditions it
is worse than ever. States aud
cities have right to institute these
Investigations. It fact, it is their
duty to do so. The short-weight
graft is contemplate graft. .-Ex-
