1cr.MArrR A GOOD rNsrcr1orpr.

Few people realize how good an insec-
ticide is ice-cold water applied to plants
with force pump. 1t drenches the
leaves, knocking off and chilling the in
sects too small to be reached in any other
way. 1t also destroys myriads of insect
eggs. 1t is noticed by potato growers
that the potato bug is rarely destructive
in a wet season. Now, as the potato
plant loves water, it might, on a small
scale, be protected from injury, and the
crop be greatly increased by thorough
drenching once or twice a week. This
remedy is a good one for the rose slug

table compound prepared from roots fresh
ly gathered from the forests. The formula
was obtained from the Creek Indians by
the whites who had witnessed the won
derful cures of blood diseases made by
that tribe. 1t has been used since 1929,
and has been the greatest blessing to man
kind in curing diseases of the blood, in
many instances after all other remedies
had failed.

STEALING NESTS.

II hen steals nest somewhere, let
her remain where she is, and not remove
her, provided she is comfortable. See
that her nest is sheltered, however, in
case of rains, which may destroy all her
expectations. If there is danger from
''varmints" at night, it is better to re-
move her to the poultry-house, If she will
remain on nest; but if not, il is well to
break her from incubation. 1t is a waste
of time for her to sit If her chicks are to

A Submarine Bridge.

A ''sub-marine bridge" is proposed be-
tween Sweden and Copenhagen by a
Swedish engineer, Mr.. Rudolph Lille
jegrist. The distance is two and one
half miles, and the proposed structure
would Join Elsinore to Helsingberg by
a bridge made up of 100 foot spans,
carrying single line of rails. 1t is to.
be submerged sufficiently to allow ships
to pass over it. The bridge would be en-
-easea- ina double tube, with an outer
skin of iron and an inner one Of steel and
the space between the shells filed with
concrete. 1t is foreseen that the outer shell
might rust away in time, but it is believed
that the concrete would remain intact and
protect the steel. The piers would be
ordinary caissons, filed Misk concrete
and placed 100 feet apaft.s tubes
would rest on these piers, and the Girders
would take bearing on blocks inside the
tube Immediately over the piers. The
tube would be floated out in one
hundred feet lengths and lowered to
place, and massive collar of concrete
put over the joints. Pontoons, with legs
at each corner, worked by hydraulic
rams, so as to give a stable platform,
would be used in sinking the tubes
The estimated cost of the submerged
work is about So, 500, 600, not including
the tunnel approaches.
