—The German Government has com-
pletely eradicated the Colorado beetle,
or potato bu£, from the fields of the
kingdom by* the timely use of poisons
and the tilling of the tracts of land on
which the pest had appeared. There i¿
no doubt but that equally miergeiic
measures in this country would pro
duóe the same result, but the mattet
has been allowed *.o lapse along nnti!
the beetle has spread throughout the
oountry. The ins-*?t was imported in:<_
: <*argu<:sQÍ American pota*
lands, concerning which xhere are
some legal complications.
Extra copies of the <Zneschxt
ready wrapped for uaib'ng can

v
to send them to your friends ir the
East and thus give them tho refor-
mation about the country that ¿hey
