The Farm and Houschold. SE POTATO BUG KILLER.. ; ~While -visiting a neighboring town recently we were shown a novel con- . trivance for killing these pests which. was represented to be a perfzct success. It consisted of a hopper-shaped box, placed on a frame, the frax%e-sup-ported at one end by a’ single wheel and at the other by handles, giving it the appearance of a small drill, or - wheelbarrow, with a peculiar shaped ~box. - One side of the hopper box was lower than the other three, and opposite of this lower side was placed a " reel, so arranged that as it revolved it . would draw the potato vines dogvn into.the box and beat or sweep thém Jwith the fans of thereel. This would, it is claimed, knock or sweep off all . the bugs who \\'2111(1 fall into the hopper. At the Dottom of’ the hopper were two iron rollers revolving towards each other and so close together as to eruch the smallegt bug and then leave him upon the g(;%)und- “a played out' community.” The gearing for turning the reel and rollers was attached to the wheel, the whole to he pushed by hand or drawn by a horse as was most convenient. The cost was twenty dollars and whether successful or not, it is certainly an ingenious contrivance. Wesinecerely-hope thit if this doegl not succeed some other plan will bé devised to kill these “varmints” without delay. ’ And by the way, whilelspeaking of these.-bugs, I learn that arsenic and water-is a better antidote than. Paris Green, mixed in the proportign of two teaspoonfuls to a gallon of swater, and applied with a sprinkler, ’lfl‘his is said to be much cheaper and far more effectual and no injury to the growing - plants: —Laporte Argus. , A VALUABLE RECIPI, The Journal of Chemistry publishes -a recipe for the destruction of insects, which, if it be half as eflicacious as it is claimed to be, will prove valuable: “Hot alum water is a recent suggestion as an insectitude. It will destroy red-and black ants,cock-roaches,chinch-bugs, and all the erawling pests which infest our houses. Take two pounds of alum' and dissolve in three our four quarts of boiling water; let it stand on the fire until the alumn disappears; then apply it with a brush, while nearly boiling hot,/'to every joint and crevice in your closets, bedsteads, pantry, shelves, and the like. Brush the crevices in the floor of the skirting or mop boards, if you suspect that they harbor vermin. If, in whitewashing a ceiling, plenty of alum is added to the lime, it will also serve to keep the insects at a distance. Cock-roaches will flee the paint which has been washed in- cool alum water. Sugar harrels and boxes can be freed from ants by - drawing a chalk mark just ayound the cedge of the top of them. TFhe mark .must be unbroken; or they will creep over it; but a continuous chalk mark half an inch in width will set their depredations at naught. ' Powdered alum or borax will keep chineh-bugs at a respectable <istance, and travelers should always carry a package in their hand-bags, to seatter over and under their pillows wheré they have reason < to suspect the presemee of such bhedfellows.” . :

FRUITS AND HISATTIT, Dr. Hunt said at a recent .ma*oting of the Warsaw IHorticultural Society, “an absence of fruits implied doector’s bills.” We have urged for many years =the importance of a regular supply of fruit to prevent disease, and insisted that the best medicine chest which an emigrating family could carry to a !}n-wl_\' settled country would be a box - of early ‘bearing fruit trees, currant, gooseberry, and raspberry bushes, and strawberry plants. We know a family who moved West, and took with them a very large supply of dried fryits, which lasted ghem throughout the first summer. None of them were sick, although -disease prevailed all about them that year; but the next vear, with more comforts and less privations, but with no fruit, they ¢ suffered much from sickness. - Othen Western residents have told us that so long as they could have ripe fruit, they have been free from all diseases resulting« from malaiia, — Southern HFyirmer., © . e : A PERPETUATL HOT-BLD. - At Neiderplanitz, near Zwickan, in - Saxony, a vast bed of coal has been burning for over three hundred years. The ground above this subterranean fire has become thoroughly warmed by this time, and an ingenious gardener has -utilizéd it by planting upon it alarge nursery garden. Ilere he raises tropical fruits of all kinds, with exotic plants, which flourish with a vigor “and luxuriance in the open air that the best forcing houses could not insure. ITis specialty is pine apples, of > which he has’a great, variety. There are subterranean fires in other parts of the world which have been utilized in a similar way. Would it not pay, in certain cases, to take a hint from these accidental examples of underground heating, and warm-large plats of soil by means of steam pipe running under the surface ? :

ECONOMY IN PRESERVING FRUIT.

It is not generally known that boiling fruit a long time, and skimming it well, without the sugar and without a-cover to the preserving pan, is a very economical and excellent way—eco-. nomical because the bulk of the skum rises from the fruit and not from the sugar, if the latter is good; and boiling it without a cover| allows the evaporation of the watery particles therefrom;. the preserves keep firm and well flavored, - The proportions are, three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one of fruit. Jam made in this way of currants, strawberries, raspberries or gooseberries, is excellent. The best jam I know of is made of an equal quantity .of gooseberries and raspberries. Some anade by us last year of this half-and-half mixture was preferred to all others.

Nmn’r,Vlsl'r‘s.—Mother, you had better say “no” decidedly when your little girl asks if she may go to stay all night- with Mollie, or Katie, or Belle; and never consent to your little hoy’s request to be allowed to spend the night with one of his school-mates. Tell them that the night was made for sleep, and not for long talks while lying in bed. Explain to them what a blessed thing sleep is, “tired. Natare’s sweet restorer,” and what a good thing it is to get a habit of going to bed and to sleep regularly at an early hour; so that body and brain may both get plenty of quiet rest, so necessary for their growth and healthful activity. Then give them clean, well-aired beds, in rooms where there is plenty of pure air all night long, and let them sleep until they wake themselves in the morning.—Z».,

CANADA THISTLES.—Mr. O. P. Patton, writing fromi Rush township, Northumberland county, says: °“I would say toall who are troubled with Canada Thistles, that some four years since I discovered two patches of these pests on my farm. On one I tried digging up the roots one or two years without success. On the other ‘I sank holes around through the lot with a crow bar, and filled them with refuse brine from pork barrels, and this was attended with perfect success. 1 then gave the other the same treatment, and have not seen asprout sinece, - it i

; Temperance State Convention. ' Mr. J.J. Talbott, of New Albany, who has been lectnring upon temperance during the past few months, was a delegate to-tlie Granger Convention, but becoming disgusted with its course, withdrew. Mu. Talbott is evidently determined to have a convention to suit him, and accordingly issues the following call “to the temperance men of Indiana:”

The undersigned, recegnizing *he temperance question, as embodied in the. Baxter bill, as the great and overshadowing matter to come before the people of the State, at the next general election, and despairing-of any positive action on that subject, by any of the organized parties of the State, and aware of the determined effort of the liquor interests to secure the repeal of the Baxter bill, do hereby earnestly invite ali persons, without respect to previous political associations, who are in favor of amending the Baxter bill, in the light of ,supreme judicial decisions thereon, so as' to restore its original provisions, to meet them in mass convention at the eity of Indianapolis, on Wednesday, the 22d day of July, 1874, to take such action in the premises as the best mterests of thie people may require. The several political parties will then have determined, in their several conventions, the line of policy to be followed, respectively, by them and it is thought that the time will be auspicious for the temperance men of the State to determine how, by united action, they- can best secure the end in view—thé maintainance of the Baxter bill with the provisions, which have the sanction of a R,e]}mhliczm Legislature, and the -approval of a Democratic . Executive, restored to law. The temperance men-have the power in their hands; let them come up from every county, and put it forth. A eI & C— e The Canal. . There are several very knotty and troublesome questions looming up in the future, in reference to the obligations of the State to the Wabash and Erie Canal. Ohio insists that our State is bound to her, in solemn compact, to keep up the canal in anavigable condition, and there is no doubt whatever but the question will be, sooner or later, pushed to the extremity of the law. It is not a matter which can be. controlled by popular clamor or political excitements. Votes cannot affect| it or legislative majorities control it, but it is a plain, square question of law, to be settled by judicial authority. , Another grave question has come up lately upon the same matter, which is to undergo judicial investigation, with a strong probability: that the State will be defeated. It 'will be remembered that a recent amendment; was made to our State constitution, prohibiting the State, forever, from taking back the Wabash and Erie Canal, &e. ! . | - On Thursday of last week (June 18th), the Canal Trustees, including the resident Trustee, the representatives of the State and the representatives of the holders of canal stock, held a meeting at Terre laute, and decided to submit the questions to the best legal talent of the States, whether that amendment is now in force. They assign various inacuracies and omissions in the manner of its adoption, which, theéy econtend, render it void. = low these things will terminate it is hard to tell, but it is probable that our tax-ridden people would feel a little chagrined if they should find an additional burden of some twenty millions of dollars saddled upon them, all to be dug out of the ground.—Peru Sentinel. !

‘ifenderson, Mitchell and Biddle. The Democratic State Convéntion meets at Indianapolis on Wednesday, the 15th day of July, to seleet a State ticket to be voted for this fall. We favor the convention nominating lon. Ebenezer Ilenderson, of Morgan county, for Auditor of State, ITon. J. A, S. Mitchell, of Elkhart county, for Attorney General, and Judge IHorace P. Biddle, of Cass county, for Judge of the Supreme Court. Each of the gentlemen named were nominated for the respective oflices named, by the Independent convention that met at Indianapolis on the 10th of June. We favor the Democratic convention endorsing them, by a nomination on the 15th of this month, in their State convention. | S : Henderson and Mitehell are both ‘Democrats; men of unspotted reputation, and we do not believe two more competent and worthy ‘men can be found in the State. G Judge Biddle, of Cass county, is a man eévery way qualified for the position for which he has received the nomination of one convention—Judge of the Supreme Court. He is a “Liberal Republican” in politics, having voted and worked with the Democracy in the campaign of two years ago.— We believe the Democracy will add strength to the ticket througout the State by making the nominations we suggest, and at the same time|they will be supporting as good men as we have in the democratic party for the positions named. And in so doing we will not in the least be compromising ourselves, but show to. the masses that the democratic party is a party of reform, and willing to join hands with all ‘who favor a return to an honest and economical administration of public affairs, throughout the land.—Princeton Democrat. e I \

Health’s Shield and Protection.

' Health is universally admitted to be the most desirable of earthly blessings, yet it is jeoparded as recklessly as if it were of no valwe at all. Thousands ’who are compelled by their occupations and pursuits to breathe unwholesome air, to expose themselves to vio‘T lent altermations of heat:and cold, and to brave other evils inimical to health and life, utterly neglect to fortify themselvies against the dangers which surround them by a proper course of tonic treatment. For many years it has been a public fact; undenied’ even by the martinets of the medical pro fession, that Hostetter’s Stomach ‘Bitters is the best antidote‘:tq malaria .and the finest acclimating medicine in existence. In fever and ague districts, in tropical and other regions visited by epidemics, and indeed in alt localities where the conditions are unfavorable to health, this famous vegetable invigorant and alterative has been found a potent safeguard even to feeble constitutions and fragile frames; while as a cure for indigestion, biliousness and all kindred com‘plaints (it s .confessedly without a Bval, _ 0w

“DE PERVISIONS, JOSIAR.” A Couple of Darkies Express Their [ Xdeas About Civil Rights. " A sapient looking Fayettvéille darkey, oscillating between twenty and twenty-five summiers, overtook an old negro on-the street the other day, and wedging him in a fence corner,proceeded to acquaint him with all the gorgeous provisions of the civil rights bill.

ITon. M. C. Kerr publishes a card in the New Albany Ledger-Stantlard in reply to certain’charges that have been made against him, such as that he has become rich in the public service, that he is the “pet of Wall street,” and in the pay of European capitalists to secure free trade and hard money in this country, :mg)d that he has received kirge sums of money from them to defray his/ political expenses, -ete., to all of which he puts in an indignant denial, asserting that all the property he owns in the world is worth Jess than $20,000, most of which he earned in his~ profession before going into public life. = As to his financial course he denies that he is in favor of the {mmedinte resumption of specie payments, because such a policy would be disastrous to the country. o :

“Now, gentlemen,” said ‘a peripatetig- lecturer to a somewhat noisy crowd who had gathered at one of his seances in an eastern village, “how would yvou like a good blackguard story? All in. favor will raise their hands.” Nine-tenths of the dexter paws present instantly went up, and there was a sudden hush of all noisy demonstrations. The lecturer/went on with his original subject for a few minutes, when some incautious /individual broke out with, “Say, where’s that story ?” “Bless you,” was the reply, “I did not intend to tell any such story. I only wanted to know how many blackguards were present.”— You might have heard a pin drop any time during the lecture after that.

Bisunor HAVEN, of the Methodist Church South, has beenlcreating quite a sensation’ by taking dinner with a colored dentist in Atlanta, Ga., and going out to ride with him after dinner. The Atlanta papers, instead of abusing the Bishop, congratulate the colored tooth-puller upon having a live white Bishop to dine with him, and taunt the Bishops of the Methodist Church North with the fact that Bishop Haven is far ahead of them in social” equality, and has shown his faith by his works, while they preach civil righits but do not practice them.

Tne Roman Catholic Bishop of Milwaukee has, it is.reported, notified certain members of the Church who had joined:the Fox ILake Grange, of the Patrons of Husbandry, that their action was irregular, and contrary to the rules of the Catholic ()lmrch;’ which forbids its members to participate in the organization of secret societies. Many members, it is said, have left the Grange in consequence. In many other States similar action has been taken in!the premises of the Catholic Bishops and with their effects. -
