 from the package, or it can be mixed with water and 

 sprayed on vines with any of the sprayers on the 

 market, 12^ lbs. to 80 gallons water mixed thor- 

 oughly. It is sure death to the potato, squash, and 

 cucumber bugs, currant and tomato worms, and many 

 other plant-eating pests. As Bug Death contains no 

 arsenic it will not burn or blight the vine, thus giving 

 the potato a better chance to mature, which means a 

 more starchy potato, and one less liable to rot, and the 

 extra yield of marketable potatoes will more than pay 

 the entire expense. Use freely on all house plants; 

 perfectly safe to use and is non-poisonous. Price, 1-

 and when a cow has shrunk in her milk flow no sub-
