as 1 was passing Jonathan Bai.si.kyh 
place aud saw the oats sharing tin; ground 
with the black heads of Canada thistles. 
The oats were ready to cut, and the thistles 
more than ready. I said to Bwamfkcot, 
who was with me, “ \\ hut does Balslky 
grow thistles for? He lias grown them 
from the time I first knew him.” 
He answered, “ I do not know. There is 
no need of growing them. Did you notice 
my roadsides? Well, they used to be one 
continuous swamp of thistles and s eded, 
with their white balloons, my whole farm. 
J resolved to kill them. I had read about 
the eli'eei of defoliation upon plants. Ac¬ 
cordingly, l beheaded every Canada thistle 
that appeared above ground. There is no 
use o’ talking! It is the only way to do 
the business, and it did it. I defy you to 
liml a straight, out-and-out Canada thistle 
on my farm. And 1 have exterminated 
them simply by cutting off their heads. 
They do not get a chance to breathe, much 
less seed. Why, sir, I use my jaek-luiife to 
take oir a thistle head. If it was not for 
John Snout, ess, who breeds them by the 
hundred lliousund right across the line 
fence, 1 should have no trouble. One thing,

witch did a broomstick. And when i. see 
bow be is bothered and how lie bothers other 
people, 1 make up my mind that ignorance 
is bliss; ’tis folly to he wise !” 
And how widely this spirit obtains among 
the industrial classes. To be sure it is grad¬ 
ually giving away before the assaults Of the 
necessity for exact knowledge; hut yet the 
lives of men with the rarest opportunities for 
the study of Natural History are too rarely 
fruitful, because (and it is the only reason 
they give) they “ bate to be bothered !” And 
too many of their children are growing up 
with the same inheritance. It. is loo bad.

sleep it in water till you get the strength ; 
then add half a pound of alum. Let it dis¬

about four feet from each other. Now, in 
the latter part of June some of my bees 
swarmed Into a tree near by, and not being 
at home at the time to attend to them, they 
bad, before I arrived, again swarmed; but 
this time they landed on and between two 
hives in the department containing the four 
hives, and have since then been actively at 
work forming comb and apparently storing 
honey. A few days alter another swarm 
look place with the same result, excepting 
that they landed in this case underneath and

inside the frames, We would not use less 
than ten frames in a Live, while eleven is 
belter. We can then remove two frames 
from the Live in the fall, thus giving n,,. 
bees more room to cluster in between the 
combs, and lessening the danger of their 
molding. All bee-keepers who wish ns to

I’ve told this story to show how some peo¬

the preparation. Really the fair that will 
do the most good is that kind of a fair

that have yielded tliegivaiesi net cash results 
in proportion to the investment of lime, la¬

are shown are washed and rubbed, and fat¬

until they look like pictures that not one 
farmer in ten thousand can realize if lie has 
stock of the same blond ; and so of horses, 
and onions and turnips, potatoes, squashes

This is another species of the Blister 
Beetles to which we have oflen referred of 
late. It is the Lytta marginata, or Margined 
Blister Beetle. It may he readily recognized 
by its color, being black with narrow edg¬ 
ings of gray to its wing eases. It is about 
three quarters of an inch long and less than 
a quarter wide, the females being Consider¬ 
able larger than the males. It feeds upon 
various species of plants, and we have found 
it quite abundant this season on tiie Babtiaa, 
or false indigo. 
There ore several species of the Lythu 
that will sometimes feed upon the potato, 
hut they are quite a different insect from llic 
Colorado Potato Beetle, the latter being in 
form like the Lady Birds, which are so bene¬ 
ficial in keeping down the hordes of plant 
lice—that is, they arc nearly as broad as 
long, while the Lytlas are twice or three 
times as long ns broad. The wing covers of 
the latter are quite thin and Soft, while 
those of the Colorado beetle are loud and 
Lorn-like and each is marked with live dis¬ 
tinct black stripes, making ton upon the 
two, hence the specific name 10-lineata, or 
ten stripes. We think that dusting llic po¬ 
tato vines with freshly slaked lime in the 
morning, when wet with dew, will drive 
away, if it does not kill, these Blister Beetles
