LISTENER.
Portage. June 9th 1873.
x '•l :On opening my pota-
K ■* spring I found in them
• u 'rs of a. to me, strange bug
! e then they have appeared
K. ■' mei may lie found upon
K - <>f herbage, in the plowed
K nf the road,but chiefly
K i!1( l p'tatoes. Theyitreof
aliout one-half inch in
m., ~ - yellow striped with
■Li,.." aiK * nndei-pmt of a dingy
tnarked with black blotches..
They have commenced laying their eggs
on the young potato leaves. They can
readily lie detected by examination—a
red bunch of elongated eggs attached
by the end. in number from six or eight
to twenty.^
On examination I ain satisfied they
are not the true "Colorado potato bug."
Doryphora 10-lineatai. but the Dory
phora jnncta a bug so nearly resembling
the 1). 10-lineata as not to
guished but upon close comparison.
This bug has but eight stripes on its
wing cases, and the secoud and third
strips join behind as in the case of the
D. 10-juneta. They also have the black
spot on each thigh. The grubs have
not vet appeared. so I cannot report at
present upon their habits or destructive
ness. Yours, etc., E.O.AUSTIN.
Rain.
Monday and Tuesday people from all
sections of the County who were here
attending court, told one common story
that unless we had rain very soon the
grass crop would 1*- a failure and other
things would suffer badly. Tuesday
afternoon it commenced raining and
continued well into the night. People
seemed satisfied for once to let it rain, no
matter who got wet.
I'iohins Continues
Lively. Our own citizens and parties
from abroad are continually whipping
the streams with fly or bait and gener
ally with fair success. But we heard
one gentleman, a stranger, declare that
I In- w.i- juke disgusted with the thing.
He had leen out six or eight hours in
company with half a dozen others and
altogether they only got about twenty
small fish.

His Honor Judge "Williams is holding
the present term of Court. Business is
being rapidly disposed of. We will give

Weed Yonr Own CariSciH.
Weed y< ur own gardens—let others
alone.
We'll have plenty of weeding to attend
to at home:
Tor if weeds, tares and thistles by others
are grown
You will find in your gardens enough of
your own.
"Twould be better I think for our gar
dens all round
If not a tare, weed or thistle could in
them be found.
But as all are er > - <1 with them in gar
dens the liest.
Wi ed your own garden first before weed
ing the rest.
When the job is quite fiu.shed not a
weed to be found.
Every thing we call evil pulled out of
the ground
Yon will find yourself wearied and wil
ling to rest
From trying to make your own g ..den
the l*rSt.
Our weeding. 11 finished 'tis a job that's j
well done!
Hew nicely things grow in v. nn show
ers and sun.
We can go to our neighbors where weed
e'er abound
And pull them up for th m where e'er
they are found.
But beh"ld! our own garden, my sou!!
what a sight.
Weeds growing again in such terrible
plight,
Growing thicker and f;isU-r titan ever
before,
Keep pulling and pulling over and o'c r.
These lines have a moral which if well
understood
Ai.d lived to by all, would result in
much g'.od.
If you don't understand it nor see your
own weeds
Then keep fretting and tattling of oth
ers bad dees. L. D. E.
