There are many insects that at
tack the potato, but Of these the Col
orado beetle is probably the most dis
astrous. The beetle made its appear.
ance in north Idaho four or five years
ago, and since that time its spread
has been rapid. Every potato grower
should do all in his power to eradicate
this pest and prevent its spread.
In the fall the beetle enters the
earth and hibernates until the warm
sunshine brings them forth. The
adult beetle is yellow in color with
wings covered with ten black lines.
The female beetle deposits yellow
eggs upon the under side of the leaf
near the tip. Each female lays on
an average of about 800 eggs during
the course of month. Meanwhile the
beetle do considerable damage by eat
ing the young and tender plants. In
about week the young larvae hatch
and begin to eat the leaves of the
potato plant. The young larvae are
dark red in color with black spots on
each side. The young larvae thor
oughly gorge themselves with potato
foliage. They feed two or three
weeks, then drop to the earth and
transform to the pupae. In week
or two the adult beetle immerge, and
after feeding for couple Of weeks,
deposit eggs for the second generation
which develops in the same way.
EARLY spring spraying is very essen
tial in controlling the Colorado potato
beetle. Hand picking, if employed
early in the season, is Of great value,
but where large areas are planted
other methods are necessary. Spray
ing the vines with Paris green and
Arsenate of Lead has given excellent
results. Lime is sometimes added to
the Paris Green to prevent injury to
the vines. Dissolve one pound Of
Paris Green in small amount of wa
ter and add enough water to make 70
gallons of mixture. A stronger solu-
ton may be used without injury to
the vines, but it is better to add three
or four pounds of fresh lime. Slack
the lime in q small amount Of water
and strain. Dissolve one pound of
Paris Green in the same amount of
water, mix the two solutions and
add enough water to make the desired
strength.
Arsenate of lead has given good re-
suits in the spring for the Colorado
potato beetle. 1t adheres to the
foliage much better and is less apt
to be washed off by the rain. Dis
solve two pounds of arsenate Of lead
in little water and add enough water
to make SO gallons.

A Bear is a Bear.

State Game Warden Baca, it
would seem, is getting fetish in
some respects. In his annual re-
port, which is now in the hands
of the printer, it is said he pro-
tests against the killing of turtle
doves and will recommend an
open season for bears. AS to
doves, Mr.. Baca is right; the
open season for doves allows the
killing of the old birds when
they are Matching and rearing
their young which are left to
perish of starvation. But when
it comes to a closed season for
bears the proposition becomes
bearish. A bear is a bear all the
year around, and his principal
diet is fat cattle and his depre-
dations cost the stockmen of New
Mexico many thousands of dol
lars each year; the closed season
for bears should be established
when all the bears are dead
the taxpayers are paying bount-
les for their scalps. Better give
more protection to the deer and
antelop which, We have every
reason to believe, are being kill
ed, in season and out of season
by licensed and unlicensed game
hogs, the law Notwithstanding
Shoot the bear!

How We Get the News.

Day before yesterday per-
fectly nice lady called US up and
with tears in her voice reproved
US for not mentioning the fact
that she had a friend visiting
her last week. We told her
that she had not let US know
anything about it and that there
fore, we did not know that she
had a visitor. Then she said,
"Well you should have known.
I thought you were running a
newspaper" Wouldn't t h t
rattle your Stats? Some people
think that an editor ought to be
a cross between Argus and An
ma Eva Fay. They seem to
think that our five senses are
augmented by a sixth that lets
US know everything that hap
pens, even if we see, hear, feel,
taste or smell it not. Dear lady,
editors are only human or at
least, almost human. If you
have a friend visiting town, if
you are going away, or have
returned from a visit out Of town;
| if Johnnie falls and breaks his
arm, if your husband chops his
toe instead Of a stick of wood, if
anything happens that makes
you glad, happy, or mad, call
US up. Tell US about it. That's
the way to get it in the paper:

8. Federal reserve banks have

WHY "HOGMANAY?"
Various Explanations Given
of Scotch Name For New
Years Eve.

It is natural with New Years
even more than with other holi-
days that a large part of the OBJ
seryance should fall upon the eve
rather than upon the day. In no
other festival or fast is any single
moment of midnight that marks
the change from the 31st Of De-
cember to the 1st of January.
That is the turning point in the
celebration, the thing itself which
is celebrated. The early cere-
monies lead up to it, and the lat
er ones begin with it.
Nobody knows why the 31st
of December should be called
Hogmanay in Scotland. In the
north of England this word Hag-
mena, and in two or three other
countries there are names for the
day that sound a little like these.
Several unlikely guesses have
been made entirely without basis
of knowledge usually are. One
of them is that the words Hog
manay," which occur in a song.
are a corruption of "Homme est
ne-trois rois Ia" This theory
ignores with a calmness of indif.
ference that is positively fascin-
ating the fact that the word troll
lolay occurs in a thousand other
songs where it could not by any
possible stretch of pathological
imagination mean "trois rois la. "
It is here set down only to illus
trate once more the absurd ex'
tremity to which the raze for
ignorantly deriving words will
carry it's victims. The word Hog.
manay was applied also to a GER
tain dole of oat cakes, sometimes
accompanied by cheese, given te
a child on this day. The chill
dren of the poorer people went
about in companies asking this
gifts, and the people who were
more we'll to do often gave then
in such quantities that the pro
blem was rather how to carr,
them than how to get them.
Going about in large parties t.
visit neighbors with one sort o.
ceremony or another formed I
part of the observance of man!

Scotland, but the present TIM
seems to have been one of tn
most favored of all in this re

CHRISTMAS SONG

BY EDMUND HAMILTON SEARS.
Calm on the listening ear Of night
Comeheavens melodious strains
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver mantled plains:
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glories there,
And angels with their sparkling
Tyres
Make music on the ais.
The answering hills Of Palestine
Send back the glad reply
And great from all their holy
heights
The day spring from on high.
Ger the blue depths Of Galilee
There comes a holier calm
And Sharon waves in solemn
lpraise
Her silent groves of palm. J.
Glory to God!" The lofty strain
The realm of ether fills.
How sweeps the song of solemn
10y
O'er Judah's sacredhills.
"Glory to God!" The sounding
[skies
Loud with their anthems ring.
Peace on earth, good will to
linen.
From heavens eternal King. "
Light on thy hills. Jerusalem!
The Saviour now is born.
More bright on Bethlehem's joy
[ous plains
Breaks the first Christmas morn,
And brighter on Moriah's brow,
Drowned with her temple spires.
Which first proclaim the new
[born light
Clothed with its orient fires.
This day shall Christian lips be
mute
And Christian hearts be cold;
Oh, catch the anthem that from
heaven
O'er Judah's mountains rollee
When nightly burst from serapt
[harps
The big and solemn lay,
Glory to God: on earth be peace
Salvation comes today"
