Parts About Potato Beetles.
The potato beetle remains in the
ground all winter, emerges from it in
the spring in a perfect state, fully
grown and ready for procreation. During
the day, it remains upon the potato
plant and does not fly till night, wheu it
traverses whole fields aud whole sections
of country, the males in search of the j
females, and vice versa. The beetle \
does not eat, aud so does no immediate j
*harai. The eggs are laid on the under
si.In of the leaves, in- patches about an
inch square, and are a golden yellow
color. In a few days the young soft
grabs are hatched, are ravenously hunI'Jwa

and arc easily kuocked off. They have !
but slight ability to travel on the surfaco j
of the soil, and never descend to it voluntarily,
until they have reached the j
perfect slug state, when their natural in- :
8tinct prompts them to seek the earth, 1
into which they burrow, form a cocoon,
and in due time emerge full grown beetles,
ready to begin a new colony. This
series of changes takes place from two j
to four times in a season, controlled by |
its length, warmth, etc. In the last ;
change they remain dormant throughout
the winter, merely because the temperature
is too low to perfect the insects. It
is therefore probable that, if they ever
reach a tropical climate, their transmigration
will be uninterrupted.
Reasoning from these facts, wo arrive
at the following, which are borne out by
actual experience: Any mode of destroying
the beetle, practiced by a
farmer hero and there, is only lost time,
as the nightly flight of the sexes in
search of each other is sure to
supply local flelds from the others in
the neighborhood, the sense of smell
being probably the insect's guide to the
nearest plant, and to the general rendezvous.
If extirpation of the beetle is
determined upon, it must be general and
c i m n 1 fan arm a Tha err Aaf. diflfionltv of
accomplishing this is insuperable.
Therefore let the beetle alone. Beetles,
however, produoe slugs, and slugs in
their turn produce beetles. Slugs do
not migrate, are easily dislodged, must
eat, and are therefore at our mercy in
at least two ways. If they are knocked
off the plants in the middle of a dry hot
day, and ground into the hot soil (say
by a harrow or any similar means), they
pdHsh; and if the leaves are rendered,
by any* external application, unfit for
their food, they starve.
An experience of six years has satisfied
me that the slug state is the only
vulnerable one, and either of the two
modes of warfare indicated above is
probably successful. They feed indiscriminately
on all the solanacece. They
are not poisonous, cannot bite or stiDg
a human being, need not bo a terror to
any; aud to conquer them, it is only
neoessary to attack them in a calm, cool,
intelligent, business like manner.?S.

use you have a breakfast dish that is
superexoellent.
Why should beans never be put into
cold water to soak, as is often recommended?
Because all the nutritious
portion of the bean is extracted by the
process. They should be washed in
w?rm water, then in cold, be tied loosely
in a cloth, be put into boiliDg water,
with a spoonful of dripping and a little
salt in it, and be kept boiling for four
hours. They are then excellent if served
with gravy, and not with melted butter.
They serve as garnish around roast mutton
or beef, and are excellent eating
served whole or as a puree. To make
the latter, when the beans are done,
throw them instantly into cold water,
when the skins will slip off. Bub the
beans through a colander, and mix a
lump of butter with them. A little
stock, or milk, or cream is excellent
mixed in.
H?w to Apply Pari* Green.
Probably the most effective weapon
for the destruction of the potato beetle
is to be found in every properly furnished
household?a flour s eve. Supply
it with a cover and a handle made
of a green rod (because it will bend
easily) of a suitable size for the hand,
bent in the shape of the letter U inverted,
attached at each end to opposite
sides of the s*eve, tho part to hold by
immediately over center of sieve and
about sixteen inches above the bottom
of it, and it is completed. Use paris
green thoroughly mixed with sifted
flour, in propoitions of one ounce of
the former to one and one half pounds
of the latter. Hold the sieve charged
with the poisonous mixture in left hand
over a hill of potatoes, and with a stick
in the right hand rap it hard enough to
produce light discharges of poison, and
prooeed in this manner, taking two rows
at a time, till the work is done. A man j
can probably in tins way poison about
three acres a day. If it is desired to
make a sieve, the proper proportions
are about ten inches insido diameter and
four inches depth, and sqnare in shape,
because most easily made. The wire
gauze for bottom should count twenty
wires each way to the inch; total cost
about forty cents. *
Sowing for Fodder.
In cultivating the sorgho for its forage
it is recommended by one who has experimented
that it be sown in drills two
feet apart, letting fall about fifteen or
twenty seeds to the foot. When cultivated
for fodder the crop should be
mowed down as soon as it is large
enough to feed to stock, and, according
to the length of the Beason, two, three,
four, and even five crops can bo obtained.
This fodder is greedily eaten
by all cattle, and is a valuable acquisition,
as it is not only nutritious, but can
withstand long droughts.
?
An Experiment,
An old bachelor at New Orleans tells
how he was deterred from committing
matrimony in the following way: Thinking
over the subject, and particularly of
the expense of maintaining a family, he
set the table in his lonely abode with
plates for himself and imaginary wife
and five children. He then sat down to
dine, and as often as he helped himself
to food he put the same quantity on
each of the other plates, and surveyed
the prospect, at the same time comparing
the cost. He concluded to remain
single.
HERDING ON THE PLAINS.

Broncho- The Annual Bounding Up aid
Branding of Cattle. ]
The grazing facilities of Colorado, 1
which are not interrupted the year J
round, even during the mo-t severely 1
intense oolds of the winter, bring into <
pleasing prominence at this particular I
season the system of annual " round- i
ups," which bring such joy into the i
cow boys' and herders' hearts, and <
which are the Longchamps of the prai- ,
ries for the stock growers' and the ranchmen's
bronchos; for then they nerve ,
themselves for miles on miles of swift
riding and dexterous curvetting, and ,
their only alternative is to answer with J
unfailing readiness every plunge of the
spur and every check or turn of the rein.
This whole Territory seems to be one J!
vast pasture field for the hundreds of!1
(K.^iinan^o nf fwitfla fhat. ara rwrrrtA.l qnd I ?
raised here. Good suoculent hay, thick <
meadow, and huge tnfts of buffalo grass t
are everywhere to be found, even be- ]
neath the snows, aud upon these the i
cattle, horses, sheep, etc., subsist boun- i
tifully; in consequence no winter
provender is provided, and stock is al- |
lowed to roam at will during the year, eating
whatever congenial food the fields ]
afford, drinking at the creeks, springs
and rivers, and fiuding shelter in the ravines
or valleys of the rolling prairies.
Often a fierce storm sweeps thousands '
of head before it away to the Arkansas ;
river on the south, or the Platte on the
north, and not infrequently one man's '
herd will be found divided into portions >
one hundred miles apart. This renders 1
it necessary that, in order to ascertain <
the increase, and for the purpose of <
branding calves, there should be an an i
nual round-up of the cattle in each di- ]
vision or district, and a subsequent di- ]
vision of the same to the various owners. ;
I was much pleased the other day, .
says a correspondent, when Messrs. Iliff ,
and Hittson, the cattle kings of the ,
West, im/ited me to attend one of the
annual " round-ups " of their stock.
The cattle kings have their headquarters 1
at Deer Trail, about fifty miles east of '
Denver, on the Kansas Pacific road. !
There are immense corrals for the cattle,
attended by 200 laborers. _ i
A mile or two below the settlement, in 1
a beautiful little valley, the cattle were <
! to be collected, and 200 or more hardy ,
riders started over the prairies in all di- ,
rections. Our party went on a lope to ,
the springs and creeks to the south.
The cattle could be seen everywhere on (
the hills aud in the lowlands in herds of
from fifty to five hundred, and they invariably
broke and run at our approach.
Then follows a spurt of speed that would 1
rattle anybody but a cowboy to death in '
his saddle. Up the sides of the rolling 1
hills and down the other; helter skelter i
across the intervening prairie lands; now i
and then dashing across the dried . Deu i
of a creek, or tearing up the precipitous i
wall of an abrupt gulch; frequently in ,
imminent danger of going over your (
broncho's head when he stumbles into a ,
prairie dog's hole; stopping your animal |
at full speed, wheeling like a flash of
lightning, and hurrying back to your
former tracks; dodgiDghere and there,
with head bent down to the pony's flying
main; twisting and turning as the run- ]
ning herd twists and turns. Such is the 1
excitement of rounding cattle on the '
vast Western prairies. Utterly disre- 1
gardleas of the danger to life and limb
in this ireokless horsemanship, with his
sombrero brim flapping in the wind, and ]
his short whip constantly cracking; and ,
a wild halloo upon his lips, the cowboy ,
seems to enjoy this sort of thing, and ,
can sit down to his meals after this hard
riding with the same ease and unconcern
as though he hadn't seen a saddle
j that day. '
We rounded about 1,000 head the first
[ day, and having staked our ponies, re- 1
' posed on the grass for the night. Be- 1
fore midnight a heavy storm arose. My <
[ companions wore to their feet almost
I on the instant of the fall ot the first rain <
drop, and into the saddle without a mo- <
ment's delay. The cattle were surrounded, i
but to no avail. When the wind blew, <
as it e&n blow only on the plains, the ,
cattle were away before it to the south
I on a hundering gallop. Every man
broke or the front to head the herd off, 1
but on they swept. The darkness was '
terrible, and nothing could be seen but
the dark, moving mass of cattle, and <
nothing heard but the dismal clatter of I
their hard hoofs on the sand. The
lightning flashes but faintly revealed ;
them through the falling torrents of the ;
; rain; and when it did, it was only to ;
view the bent heads and straight backs
of the dying creatures. The herd had
stampeded, and on the following morning
a new " round up" was found
necessary.
Five days sufficed to gather all the
cattle, and the selection of each man's
property Was begun. This is called
" cutting," and it requires great skill in
the management of the horse or pony
you are riding. The cowboy rides into
the inclosure and cuts of! the animal,
which he instantly recognizes from the
main herd, and repeats this process until
he has secured all of his master's
property. Then it is driven home, a d
the calves branded. The cattle are
again turned loose to subsist 011 whatever
nature provides for them.
The pleasures of the " round-up,"
with its night herding and camp life,
are unsurpassed, and for a genuine sample
of roughing it in its most inviting
phases are unsurpassable. Ail classes
and grades of men are huddled together
here, and the characteristics of Western
life are brought into almost obtrusive
prominence, and invariably make a favorable
impression upon the visitor.
How the Story was Told.
A Dresden correspondent narrates,
with unmistakable feminine zest, that
there was an " audience of one hundred
and twenty spectators," many of whom
weie ladies, at a case of cremation there.
Two bodies were burned for their
delectation. The iron doors swung open,
the corpses were slid in, and then,
through a thick glass door, " the audi- j
ence of spectators" silently watched the .
process of incineration. "The play of
flames over the bodies" gave rise to !
some little murmurs of applause, but
when the dark masses, like burnt roast
beef, were succeeded bj masses of
brownish coals through which the white
ribs and shulls showed grimly, a breathless
silence of admiration held them all.
Then the tamping was knocked out of
the doors and the ashes collected and
passed round the audience on a salver
for inspection, the ladies examining it
minutely.with more than one sense.
The lady ^ho writes this adds at the j
bottom of her letter that she forgot to !
say that the bodies were those of a New- j
founland dog and a cat. They, however,
represented human bodies, and
she says, with a genuine sigh, "but the !
experiment was as satisfactory as if they ;
had been humans.'"

The Western linsbandmen.
Pity the sorrows of the Westehi 1ms- j
bandmen, for they are at once nnmer- j
ous, various and unending. L&st summer
the fair fields of fruitful Kansas !
were laid waste by the all-devouring J
grasshopper. Scythes and sickles hung
rusting on the fences, barns remained j
bare and granaries empty. In the days
of their desolation the stricken farmers
cried aloud for aid, and out Of their
abundance States not afflicted with ravenous
grasshoppers did help them. In
the Drocre88 of the seasons harvest time
lias again come in Kansas* and, as in the
years that are past, the sons of the soil
are soured and scolding. It is not grasshopper
ravages this time, nor yet
drouth; neither have the rains been
over-abundant, nor did chill winter linger
too long in the lap of general spring.
No, everything went right. Nature was
so beneficent that the agriculturists
are angry at too good a thing. They
grumble that the crops of Kansas arc
disgustingly enormous. Millions of I
bushels of wheat must be left ungar- j
nered because there are not hands |
enough to gather it in. As to corn, j
when it comes to that cereal the disgust I
of the tillers of the soil of Kansas is
changed to anger. They shake their
clenched hands at the waving fields, and
threaten to use tens of thousands of
bushels of the golden ears for fuel next
winter. Sad is the soul of the unfortunate
farmer when he reflects that all
this abundance betokens low prices.
Thoughtfully, he takes an extra dose of i
tobacco, and meditates when in the econ-!
omy of nature things will get even. His j
Eastern brethren, regarding with com- j
placence the over-burdened fields, may !
be excused from wishing for a plague of 1
grasshoppers if in their track is certain
to follow such afflictions as are at present
bewailed by the Kansas farmers.
Lottery Circulars,
For some time past there has been a
flood of lottery circulars passing through
the United States post-office, a majority
from foreign countries, especially from :
many of the small towns of Germany, j
and in which many banking firms of j
New York and other cities have been in-1
terested. The recent amendment to the
postal law did not seem to cover this j
case, and instructions were requested '
from Washington, and the following an-1
swer was received:
By the reoent amendment of the law J
circulars and letters relating to all lotte-1
ries, without regard to their character,
are declared unmailable. Your office
should treat such correspondence received
in the mails from foreign countries
as if of domestic origin, which

A Curiotis Marriage.
A curious fact in regard to the marriage
of John Kemble, the actor, is told
in " Bannister's Memoirs." One of the
daughters of a noble lord, formerly holding
high office, but then living in retirement,
had fallen in love with the
graceful and showy actor merely from
seeing him on the stage. Kemble was
sent for by the father, and, to his astonishment,
acquainted with the circumstances.
The noble lord also told him
that it was in his power to do him either
a great evil or a great favor, and that
if he would do the latter, by relieving \
him from all apprehension of the laay s
indulging her phantasy, and relieving
him effectually by marrying any one
else for whom he might have an attach-1
ment, his wife should receive a dower
of ?5,000. Kemble immediately pro- j
posed to Miss Brereton, a pretty actress i
in the company, and the marriage took
place without delay. But the amusing
part of the tale is that the afflicted and
magnanimous father instantly recovered
his spirits and lost his memory. On
being applied to for his thousands he
declared that he had no recollection
whatever of the compact, nor indeed
any of the idea, further than some general
conversation on such matters with
tho " very intelligent person in question
adding " that if he was to pay
?5,000 for every whim of his daughter's
he must soon be a much poorer, man
than he ever intended to be." It is believed
that Kemble never got a shilling
from this very sensitive nobleman, aud
that for tho rest of his life he attached
a new value to the vulgar etiquetto of
signing and sealing beforehand, even
with the most plausible of mankind.

Indisputable Eridence.
St. Elmo, I1L, July 8, 1874.
B. V. Piebce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y. I
wish to add my testimony to the wonderful
curative properties of your Alt. Ext, or Goldeu
Medical Discovery. I have taken great inter
est iu this medicine since i first need it. I was
badly afilicted with dyspepsia, liver deranged
and an almost perfect prostration of the nervous
system. So rapid axid complete did the
Discovery effect a perfect cure that it seemed
more like magic and a perfect wonder to myself,
and since that time we have never been
without a bottle of Discovery and Purgative
Pellets in the house. They are a sohd, sound
family physician in the house and ready at all
times* to fly to the rehef of sickness?without
charge. We have never had a doctor in the
house since we first begun the use of your Pellets
and Discovery. I have recommended the
use of these medicines in several severe and
complicated cases arising from, as I thought,
an impure state of the blood, and in no one
case have they failed to more than accomplish
all they aro claimed to do. I will only mention
ouo as remarkabln (though I could give you
dozens). Henry Eoster, furniture dealer, of
this place, who was one of the most pitiful objects
ever seen, his face swollen out of shape,
scales and eruptious without end, extending to
his body, which was completely oove :ed with
blotches and ecalee. Nothing that he took
seemed to affect it a particle. 1 finally induced
him to try a few bottles of the Goldea Medical
Discovery, with daily use of the Pellets, assuring
him it would surely cur$ him. He commenced
its use some six weeks since, taking
two Pellets each night for a week, then one
each night, and the Discovery as directed. The
result is, to-day his skin is perfectly smooch
aud the scaly eruptions are gone. He L*c
taken some seven or eight bottles in all, and
considers himself cured. This case had baffled
the skill of our beet physicians. Messrs
Duns ford Jc Co., druggists, of this place, are
selling largely of your medicines and the demand
steadily increases, and they give perfect
satisfaction 111 eveiy case.
Respectfully, W. H. Champ lin,
Agt. Am. Exp. Co.
Bright eyes, regular features aud a

Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic.?In the atmosphere
experienced here daring the sammer months, the lethargy
produced by the heat takee away the dee Ire for
wholesome food, and frequent perspiration* reduce
bodily energy, particularly thoee suffering from tbe
effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep a
natural healthful activity of the system, we must rnson
to artificial means. For this purpose Sohenok's Sea
Weed Tonlo Is very effectual. A few doaea will create
an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body.
For dyspepsia, It Is invaluable. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently
cured by the drugs whloh are generally employed
for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonlo In its nature Is
totally different from snob drags. It oontains no oorroslve
minerals or acids; It fact, it asalats the regular
operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. Tbe
tonic In Its" natare'so much resembles the Agastric ulce
that It la almost Identical with that fluid. The ga ric
juice is the natural solvent which, In a healthy oondit on
of the body, causes the food to be digested; and wa u
this juice Is not increased In sufficient quantities, indirection,
with all iter distressing symptoms, follows. Tfc?
Sea Weed Tonlo performs the duty of the gaatrlo jnlo?
when the latter Is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weeo
Tonic sold by all Druggists.
