SPRAY FOR ASPARAGUS BUGS
One or Two Applications Of Lead Ar
senate or Bordeaux Mixture Will
Kill Beetles.

ment of Agriculture)
II beetles and larvae are at work
on the foliage Of asparagus plants,
one or two applications Of lead arsen-
ate will kill them. Two pounds Of dry
lead arsenate or pounds of lead ar
senate paste to so gallons of water
or bordeaux mixture will make a
spray Of sufficient strength. This
treatment, made after the cutting sea-
son. should lessen the number of
beetles next year and also enable the
plants to make healthy growth.
The common asparagus beetle is dis
tributed over wide territory extend
ing from Toronto. Canada. through
New York and New England. except
Maine. to southern North Carolina and
westward to the border line between
Illinois and Iowa. 1t has also been re-
ported from one locality in Colorado
and three in California. The other
species. the 12-spotted asparagus
beetle. also known to growers as the
red" species. is not so common and
somewhat less injurious. The early
brOOds Of these insects feed on the
young and tender asparagus shoots
and render them worthless for mar
ket. Later broOds Of the common spe-
ciessdevour the foliage and frequently
kill the plants, and those of the r.
spotted beetle feed on the berries.

AHEN CITY WAS "HARD UP"
New York Once Sought Leg; sIative
Authority to Run. Lottery to
Secure Needed Funds.

A hitherto unpublished letter Of De
Witt Clinton. written in 1909 to John
Pintard. clerk of the common council
while Mr.. Clinton was in the New
York state senate, on Legislative bills
regarding city improvements, was re-
Gently discovered in an interesting
way during the editing of the New
York common council minutes from
1884 to 1881. The chief topic of in
terest in the letter is a reference to a
bill introduced at the request of the
common council asking that the leg
islature authorize a lottery for $780,
700 for the purpose Of raising suffi-
cient funds for the completion of the
present city hall.
DR.. A. Everett Peterson, editor of
the common council minutes. found
reference to the letter in the minutes
of the period and instituted a search
for 1t. His hunt was rewarded by
finding it among a mass Of loose pa
pers in the custody of the city clerk
and 1t has been reproduced in fac
smile with the minutes Of 1909, pub
lished in the fifth volume of the print
ed minutes. The letter is dated from
Albany, March II, 1909. Mr.. Clinton
was mayor of New York city and also
a state senator, the mayor then being
appointed by the governor, and Mr..
Clinton held the office several years.
On the subject Of the lottery for COM
plotting the city hall, Mr.. Clinton said:
"There appears to be a determina-
ton in the legislature not to grant any
more lotteries. The memorial of the
common council praying for one has
been committed in the assembly, and
bill has been introduced, but there
Ii no hope Of its passing"

PEANUT PUT TO MANY USES
Nutritious Oil and PaIatabIe Butter
Derived From the Humble "Goob-
err" Beloved Of Childhood.

The peanut isn't nut at all. but
q member Of the pea. bean and clover
family. 1t Is a legume and gathers
nitrogen from the Dir. Peanuts do not
grow from roots. but on shoots which
grow out from the plant above ground,
bear a little sterile yellow blossom and
then shoot directly into the ground,
where they "peg," that is. where pea
nuts begin to grow on them. The pea
nuts are pulled from the vines or roots,
and the roots are then plowed back
into the ground to allow the nitrogen
to feed the soil. The peanuts are then
taken to peanut factories. In these
buildings the peanuts are cleaned and
sorted. The largest are saved and put
through a rumbler, which polishes the
shells. These are sold in the shells.
Other first grades are shelled and sold
for sailing; and one big packing COM
pany buys only first grades for peanut
butter.
If the peanuts are pulled roots and
all, the peanuts are dried out by stack
Ing on poles. then pulled of and sold.
Broken peanuts are pressed and the oil
extracted. Much Of this Oil Is sold as
"pure olive OIL" In fact, 1t is quite
as rich and nutritious as olive oil. The
refuse is pressed into cakes and sold
as oil cakes for feeding stock and
especially dairy cows.-St. Nicholas.
