Killing the Harlequin Bug.— Wbat can we do 
to get rid of the harlequin bug on cabbages? Plenty 
of fertilizer under the plants will get them outof the 
way of the worms; but I don't know what to do 
against the bugs. O. I). G. W. 
Ayletts, Va. 
Ans.—T his Is a Southern Insect which has been 
gradually working Its way northward, until Its rav¬ 
ages are now reported serious as far north as Dela¬ 
ware. It feeds upon a variety of plants of the cab¬ 
bage family. At the South, the perfect Insect lives 
through the winter, laying Its eggs as soon as It can 
find a suitable plant of sufficient size. The eggs are 
regularly arranged In two rows, usually on the under 
sides of the leaves, are set on end and cemented 
together There are usually about a dozen together. 
They hatch In about six days In spring, and In less 
time when the weather becomes warmer. They 
mature Id about 12 days, so there are several broods 
each season They are voracious, and a halt dozen 
of them will kill a cabbage In a single day. The bug 
Is black and orange-yellow In color, peculiarly 
spotted and variegated, which gives it Its name. 
Hot water, pyrethrum and the kerosene emulsion 
are recommended to destroy the pest. Clean culti¬ 
vation Is Important as a preventive. All rubbish 
should be destroyed. In spring and autumn many 
of the insects m y be trapped under cabbage or tur¬ 
nip leaves laid between the rows. The bugs collect 
under these and may be gathered In the morning. 
The most Important point Is to destroy the earlier 
broods, as they increase so rapidly as to be almost 
unconquerable later.

Using the Bordeaux Mixture.—How often Is 
the Bordeax Mixture to be used, and how should It 
be applied? Will a hand sprinkler or a small sprayer 
answer for two acres of potatoes? n. b. c. 
Onondaga County, N. Y. 
Ans.—S pray with any of the numerous spraying 
pumps as often as the rain washes off the applica¬ 
tion. In a rainy season, the application must be re¬ 
peated much more frequently. A sprinkler Is of no 
use. The Bordeaux Mixture must be applied by a 
force pump, which will throw It In a fine spray 
through a nozzle. See article on page 513 of last 
Issue of The R. N.-Y. Write to D. C. Lewis, Catsklll.

Making Paste.—W hat is the recipe for making 
the paste with which The RURAL'S subscribers’ 
names are stuck on their papers ? c. G. i). 
Ans.—T he paste we use Is purchased from a firm 
which makes a bnslness of paste making, and which 
doesn't give its formula to the public. It Is probably 
made of flour, water, and a little gum-arabic. A very 
good paste may be made from two gallons of water 
and one quart of wheat flour. Rub out all the lumps, 
add one-quarter of a pound of finely pulverized 
alum and boll for about 10 minutes, or until It is 
quite thick. Add one quart of hot water and boil 
again until the paste becomes of a pale brown colcr. 
Stir well while cooking. A little carbolic acid added 
will tend to keep It sweet. Another method recom¬ 
mended for paper boxes Is to stir Into boiling water 
wheat or rye flour. Let boll one minute, and then 
strain through colander. Add, while boiling, a little 
glue or powdered alum. Stir constantly while cook¬ 
ing, and make of a consistency that will spread well.

Land Open to the Commons.—How much can a 
man use a piece ef land and still let It run to com¬ 
mons ? If he gets his fire-wood and logs and makes 
sagar from the timber on It, can he be made to fence 
It ? If not, can he make trouble If another’s colts or 
cattle meddle with his sap buckets ? L. J. L. 
Copenhagen, N. Y. 
ANS. From the question we take it that the land 
In dispute Is woodland, and that It Is open to the 
public highway. In this case the owner or occupant 
Is under no legal obligation to erect or maintain a 
fence, and any live stock straying upon It from the 
highway would be liable for any damages they might 
Inflict, as they had no business In the highway. No 
one in New York State Is compelled by law to build 
a highway fence, but every owner of live stock is 
compelled by law to properly restrain them. This 
ought to be the law In every State, but unfortunately 
It Isn't.

Looking Glass, Ore.— Our crops are rather light 
and wheat sells at Portland for 52 cents per bushel 
and oats bring at home 33 to 40 cents per bushel. 
Freight Is extraordinarily high on the Southern 
Pacific Railroad; I paid $3.95 for 200 pounds of salt 
and 60 pounds of groceries from San Francisco This 
means almost prohibition. I love the stand The R. 
N.-Y. is taking and like ‘‘The Prospect’’ and the 
“ Outlook,” and Its battle for purity In business and 
politics. Our county treasurer has been weighed 
and found wanting to the amount of about $30,000 
and he has resigned. It’s a pity he didn’t do so two 
years ago—before his defalcations began, and he had 
betrayed the public trust and the confidence of the 
friends who had gone security for him. j. o. h.

D. g. w. 
Union County, N. J.—The early part of the sea¬ 
son was backward, and extremely wet. Potatoes 
rotted badly after planting, consequently the stand 
Is poor. Corn and other crops were very backward, 
but hot weather later has pushed them along. There 
has been a deficiency of rain, and before a heavy 
shower which we have just experienced, the soli was 
very dry. Hay which Is mostlj secured In good 
order Is a good average crop. Grain Is not exten¬ 
sively raised, but will average well. Garden truck, 
which Is the most valuable product, gives promise of 
a good yield. Plenty of tramps looking for work (?)
