RURAL BRIEFLETS. 
So far as we know the Ruk at. New- Yorker 
is the first agricultural journal to have an. 
nounced from it3 own tests that Pyrethrum 
roseura, the insecticide plant, is perfectly 
hardy in this climate and may be raised as 
easily as a Cone Flower or May Weed. The 
value of the powder made from the flowers as 
an insecticide, can hardly be estimated, since 
it is sure death, to many of our most destruc¬ 
tive pests and yet utterly harmless to human 
beings and the larger animals. As our regular 
readers are aware, we have during the past 
season tried its effects upon many different 
kinds of caterpillars—upon the potato beetle 
and its grubs; upon the cabbage worm, house¬ 
flies, etc. Potato beetles and their larvae 
were, so to speak, paralyzed by it—but all re¬ 
covered. A second dusting killed many. 
Flies, cabbage worms and other caterpillars 
are killed in from 30 minutes to 15 hours. 
F.ies are often killed in 15 minutes. But our 
readers must aot forget that the powder must 
be blown upon insects to harm them. They 
may crawl over it as over the soil without 
being injured. For this purpose bellows with 
reservoirs connected with the nozzle to hold 
the powder (sold by seedsmen and house¬ 
furnishing stores for from 50 cents to one 
dollar each,) are the most economical contri¬ 
vances with which to apply it. The price of 
the insect powder is from 75 cents to one 
dollar the pound, but a pound will last a long 
time. We may reasonably hope, as the 
plants will thrive in this country as well as in 
Persia or anywhere else, that the price will 
soon become bo low as to place it within the 
reach of all... 
Our readers and agents are notified that the 
Premium List this year will be sent only to 
applicants. We shall be pleased to send it 
without charge to all who are willing to inter¬ 
est themselves in endeavoring to procure 
subscribers. Many more articles are offered 
as premiums than ever before and they are 
offered at the very lowest possible rates.

Do You Know 
JONES ? 
The natural rejoinder Is. What Jones, for Joneses are 
aim wt as plenty na smiths. We ivfer to Jcmes of 
Binghamton, Mughiimton. N. Y There la no other 
Jam s iu which tho runners of the country I ave any 
especial interest. and their Interest iu bitn arises 
from the fact that iie lias done more to enable the 
farm- rs to protect themselves against tbo frauds 
of tnldd'e men than another man. 
I'm II Junes of Binghamton in-.L-an to make Beales, 
the price was kj bUn that few eon Id afford Beales; 
consequently i he farmer, unable to weigh for himself, 
win u»uaUv client !-1 in ills purchases as well os his 
sales. Jones being a farmer and a victim, realized 
the situation and detenu ned to break down the 
great monopoly The result of his twenty-years fight 
is that SCe! s are now sold bo low tu-c no farmer, 
however limited in his acres, can afford to he without 
a b!'.ite. Jones of Binghamton claims Ills seals to be 
the best. and we cannot dispute U, hut we do know 
that H is the cheapest. .Tone* of Binghamton sells a 
Five Tan Seale for $<KJ and pays the freight. This is a 
genuine nnd complete scale, made of iron, steel and 
brass, and mu t. not be confounded with any wood 
lever tiling offered at about tbo Kamo price. The 
course purdied by Jones of Hinghamtuti has aroused 
the vimUcffvenes* of hi* Competitors, who hut for 
him w mid get what they eho*o to nsk for scales. He 
and lilr scales are outrageously misrepresented. 
Common gratitude should Impel the farmer to stand 
up for Jone, of Blnghampton The least they can do 
is to let lilm speak for hlmsell through IiIb f ree hook, 
which everyone 6honUl s-nd for It Is Interesting 
and amusing and may be of gnat benefit to you. 
Ills address Is 
JONES of Blnglianiton, 
Illnghamton, N. Y.

Its produot in color, flavor and selling qualities unexcelled. Original and radically new in fruit evaporation, 
Some of the merits of the AMERICAN, and advantages secured by its patrons : 
1st. We enumerate among other claims of the American Evaporator, certain advantages secured by purchasers, in addition to its acknovlegcd structural 
superiority. They have in our Fruit-Selling Department a comprehensive co-operative agency with mutual interests, in the sale of their product. Thorough 
uniformity of quality value, package, trade mark and label, secured by our confidential circular to purchasers, and carefully scllected selling agents. 
2d. That all our Evaporated Fruit is made by our patrons, and in securing best possible prices for them, we best advertise our evaporator, maintain the 
established reputation and price of its product, at small cost. We do not desire to make any considerable profit on your labor. 
3d. It is the only original Inclincd-Flue Evaporator, thoroughly protected by letters patent, and the only one which can guarantee protection and safety in 
its use against costly litigation, royalties and damages. See notice in catalogue of our claims. 
4th. With it the individual farmer and orchardist can cheaply convert his surplus fruit into evaporated stock, equal in appearance and market value to that 
produced by the most thoroughly equipped and expensive commercial evaporator. 
5th. No farm implement will pay its cost so quickly, or so many times in a season; always ready, the daily wasting fruit suggesting its use and reminding 
us “ It is not what we make, but what we save that accumulates wealth.” .... , , . 
6th. Owing to the universal practice of sun and oven drying of truit, the marketfor that kind is overstocked and it does not pay, while choice evaporated fruits 
always command good prices. . ... . 
7th. Stroi>£ currents uf Dry Hot Air, automatically created, pass so rapidly through the Inclined Flues y precluding the possibility of discoloration, and 
account for the fancy wortc it does. 
8th. Each tray (or group) first receives the direct and greatest heat. 2d. Each subsequent tray (or group) takes its place, ana puts former one out of danger. 
3d. It Is almost impossible to burn the fruit in continuous working. ... ... , ,, 
9th. Its evaporating capacity pgf tray surface and for its cost is unequaled. 2d. It will produce a handsomer, brighter-colored and a more valuable product 
.han any oikci portable evaporator. Illustrated Catalogue free.
