'., The following articlo is communicated.
by Mr. Bateharii of °hie, to the, C01.01 -
try Gpitkman, 1 rom which journal we
reproduce it
".As niany re ders of this paper have
- had no experie ce with the Colorado'
beetle as yeti ut are anticipating its in-
vasion of theit tato fields in the com-
ing season, thej will,- of course,*be, in-
terested in lea ng the results of ,, obser-
vations And experience where thie pest
has been prevalent for several years past;
And first, I 'would state it ha S been
found, as a general rule, that ittakes
three years for t e beetles to attain their
tall strength Of , umbers and Misdhief in
a locality, That is to say, their first
pearance is usually in small nun:there,
d only in a fe.w fields of a townShip or
tin' ighborhood ; the next year they will
beifound quite plenty, and destructive to
some, fiel siif uot opposed; then the
third year, and for several years after-
ward, they will be in full force, with
plenty to spire for stocking territory
further eastward. Then farmer e who
y r, that high prices will
would, grow - potatoes must exp ct to
fight as well as ' Work "for them. It is
probable, hoive
male the crop ' profitable as forinerly,,
' if not more so, t those who have the
right soil for potatoes and the disposition
- to fight off the bugs.. •How this can best
be done, is the roam question. '

with ,
- everywhere else, the Most effective and

,
practical mode o fighting the Colorado
enemy. , In rega, d to .this remedy 'there
is need of some intelligence and -caution.
The use of this, or Other poison, will not

the beetles that appeared early in the

VAbout the firs i week in July, in this
climate, the youog larvm begin to ap-
pear, and then euccessi-ve broods con-
tinue to batch Out -until frosts come, or
the potato tops ,are ripe. As . soon as
these larym appear , we use the Paris

have been practiced; Until last year
the majority of ear farmers ,mixed the
poison with thirty or forty times its bulk.

fine substance that will • give it bulk—
then dusting the trnfxture through a pet-
forated tin can, 1ke. a kitchen dredging -
box, on the tops f the plants, where the

cation is liable to cause serious harm to
the persons wile do.; the work, as the
green is so virulent a poison that a very
little of the dust; inhaled into the lungs
or the nose is aoti to cause painful irrita-
tion. • The eyes a.lso must be protected.,
and any sore or saratch upen- the hands
will suffer from the poison if any chance

,the Paris green 'th. water, and sprink-

tablespoonful of e green to a ten quart
pail of water is a ' out the right strength,

it is common to haul the -water in this
way, to save labia-, arid put in the green
with a spoon, for eachbucketful.
The mode of sprinkling the plant is
capable of some i provement. The use
-
,
of a garden wate pag-can is the simplest,
but not sufficien ly economical, unless
the plants are inows and quite badly

infested. The ni re common ode is to
• take a small broo with a short handle
—a common clot •es -broom mil do—and
dip this •into t . pail of liquid; then
sprinkle it on the plants.With a little
practice an activ boy or man Will do
this wreek very expertly. The dipping
of the broom in a the liquid keeps it
stirred, sa as -to • revent the green from
settling to the bo tom, as, it will do to
some extent in a rinkling-can.
The number of epliCations of the poi-
son required will fof course, depend on
the abundance Of ijhe insects, aild some-
what on the we then If the crop is,
- badly infested, and the weather vvlarm,
so that the larvae !hatch rapidly, it will
be necessary to s i4ink1e the plants Once
a week for sev aal weeks. At other
tunes. once in ten days will suffice; and
conim.only it is nJt necessary to apply
the liquid to t e plants --some being
exempt from thel eetlee and. the laryte..
The amount of P rris green required for
an acre varles from two, tolour pounds..
The extensive use of this poisonous
drag as a remedtefor the potato beetle,
and also for the cotton worm at the
. South, has, of course, greatly stimulated
its manufacture, ialid, as usual in such
cases, there is a great deal of rascality in
• the adulteration ef -the-article, and the
• sale -of cheap and poor grades for the
pure and genuine. Country druggists
• are liable to be ilroposed upon in this
way . as well as their cuStomers, especial-
ly when their sup lies are obtained fr ra
- brokers mut jobbe - instead of direc y
• from the manufacturers. • The different
grades of Paris reen range in prides
• from about 23 to 8 cents per pound at
' wholesale, and thej retail rate has usual-
ly been 40 cents, , ith little or no "refer-
ence to its quality- . As it can be had. in
cans as snaall as 14 pounds each at whole-
sale rates, the bee way to obtain a pure
• article is for two a three farmers to club
together and order1 directly from. the best
manufacturers, or get their druggists to
order it thus for tnem, after fitst writing
for a price hst.
PE ECAUT1ON A*Y INSTRUCTIONS. .
Tile following
are; given in. th.e Paint
and Oil TradeJour-nall:
As the handling end using of dry Paris
green, especially by persons unaccustom-
ed to its use, is attended with consider-
able risk and often followed by seriouS
coneequences, we ; make the following
suggestions founded on our experience as -
manufacturers- : .
All packages, Wh.ether large or small,
should be plainly • arked poison.
• There is great da ger in the inixing, of
this green for po ato-bug ahd cotton -
Worm poison, mit Ig to the fine dust
which arises in the rocess, which is in-
haled, and also rap'Uy absorbed by the
• pores af the skin, ej.eciilly if the person
using it should be a state of perspira-
tion. To guard a.gairt t this,. the hands and
face (particularly- n trils) should be pro-
tected. as much as ssible, and should
be careftilly washed fter working in it,
or in any of the pre rations of which it
_
1
is an in edient. • As it penetrates and
poisons ood--g ts into the seams and
crevices pf articT 8 made of metal—and
even, inilo earthtware that is at all
porous ; all hous hold -utensils, or any-
thing in, arn or stable (which cattle op
horses c uld hav access to) in which this
article nay bavef been mixed, or froM
which it bas bee4 used, should be care.
fully set aside, ad never again used fo
any oth purpose.
• Maliant sores
caused bfr aerate 'ng the skin when itch*
ing or irritated- from handling the green.
It ghoul( be conatantly borne in mixtd
that it is a, more dangerous and deadly
poison tlian arsenic, .and farmers, plant
ers and 4thers, when purchasing, should
be duly autioned to exercise the utmost
care,in naing it. -
Berne a /Or the P0i8011, —The free use
of milk asaa. beverage is recommended,
but We Iave found hydrated per -oxide of
iron (a simple, haamless remedy) the
besf an idote. •Slpres =aped by the
green sheuld be wel covered with it, as
with an ordinary s lve, and a teaspoon -I
ful in a wine-gias lof water should be
taken twice a daJy internally, while
working ith the reen. • This remedy
can be btained from any druggist or
chemist. 1
The c nsumption of Paris green haS
largely increased within a few years, and
the artic e is now applied to such a varlet
ty of pu poses that carelessness iu its
use, or i norance of its highly dangerous
propertiei on ,the part of those who use
• canno fail to eSroduce the most de-
plorable fresults. ,

ow to Raise Flax.
It is of eminent itiportance that a flax -
grower sjhonld understand beforehand
what is t be done how it should be per-
formed, and what should be avoided in
the mana ement and preparation of the
soil. W en flax is raised for the fibre
chiefly, n thing lint flax should be al-
lowed to occupy he ground: Hence,
grass, weals, andj other crops growin
among ffaJx must bp avoided. A. smooth.g '
and even ffrface of the ground where flaxj
grows 181 of gr alt importance when
harvestin the op. -Hence, clods,
tussocks of sods,. grass half de- ,
7
cayed a dnutnero us hollows should
be avoi ed. • The seed should he
of prime ncl unifoim quality, and be put
into the , il at a shallow , and uniform
depth, so that there may be a satisfac-
tory miff imity in the length of the stems.
When a jlarb of the seed is- barely cov-
ered, 'andf another ortien is buried by.
the feet qf a heav team several inches .
.deep, the flax will rie of unequal height, ,
and will not mature uniformly— Hence;
teams sh Uld. never be allowed to travel
on land where flaxseed has been sown,
unless flit surface be so compact that the
seed -willl not buried more than one inch
iii depth The seed must be sowed
with uniirra. eveness or the fibre will be
of vane le quality. • The foregoing are
the chief essentalst Now, then the all-
importau questioa iS how to do the
work. T1je cultivator has been told. what
to do ti es without number. But how
to do it ni a part of'flax-raising which has
-never see ed to be worthy of the notice
of writer on flax culture..
. Most vfriters have told us to choose a
rich, loamy* soil for flax. But when a
farmer h4e not a square rod of loath on
his entire farm, such counsel will tend
to bewilderment. Flax can be raised on
any soil Where_fair crops of the •cerelia, red
d grass will grow. The prim:-

in a neat, smooth, and plovvmaulikemart-
ner. _ Thu the surface should be rolled
to press the furrow slices down evenly,
after which it should be harrowed two,
three, or tour times; or until there is a
depth of fwo 'or three inches of mellow
soil. The seed may then be sowed and
covered w th.a brush harrow, drawn by
one or tWOt men. If the ground is heavy
and dispos d to be lumpy, let it be plow-
ed hi late autumn, so that every clod

Why it Chi.14 Loves Sugar.
The cra mg of children for sweets is
well kno-wjn to be cine of the most im-
perious of heir appetites. It has reference
probably th that ceaseless activity which
charaateri es the age of chilclhbod. . It
may be i1hat sugar performs in. their
systems tile part enacted by fatty sub-
stances in 1 the bodes of adults. As it
undergoesl oxidation_—is burnt up, cir-
culating sjit1x the blood,—it may be the
source of Ithe powe which enables them
to keep ini motion from morning to nieeht. -
Besides this, it is known that it renders
easier and more petfect the digestion of
the albnm1inous food. upon which their
growth d pent's. In respect to these
offices it i, therefore, nearly essential to
their avellibemg. And yet how strong,
for gener4tions, has been the prejudice
against sugar ! Under what difficulties
