kerosene oil has a greater range of
usefulness than any other one lnsectl-
eide. 1t is not a poison, but kills by
contact. 1t is a very penetrating fluid
and causes almost instant death. But
since it kills plants as we'll as insects
| it cannot be used alone, but has to be
| mixed with some substance that dilutes
it without imPairing its value as an in
| secticide. A number of methods are
| known in which this may be done. One
| of the best is the Hubbard formula
| which is given below:
"Kerosene, two gallons, 67 per cent
Common soap, or whalc-oil soaA. one-
| half pound, g. per cent. Water. one
gallon"
Heat the solution of soap and add it
boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the
mixture by means of a force pump and
| spray muzzle for five or ten minutes.
The emulsion, if perfect, forms Il cream
which thickens on cooling, and should
| adhere without %oiliness to the surface
of glass. Dilute before using one part
of the emulsion with Sine parts Of
water. The above formula gives three
| gallons of emulsion and makes, when
diluted, 80 gallons of wash. This
| emulsion is an excellent one when the

Easily Secured by the Use OF the ScrapcE
and Tile Drainage:
The progress made during the past
few years in the improvement OF
streets and public roads has been as
surprising as in other lines of pn'llc
concern. BY the use of tile drainage
and that of machinery for grading, the
ordinary prairie roads are kept as
smooth and firm during the larger por-
ton of the yehr as the hest ma"adam-
lied streets of the cities. Perhaps no
better implement has Yet been made
than the steel Gcraper in the form or d
long blade carried at an angie us
pended to a frame on wheels. cores
bonding to the running gears OF a
wagon. This machine is owned usual
lv by a township and is operated by
men and teams employed for that pur-
pose by the day. The force necessary
to operate it consists of two men ana
from four to six horses.
The prompt operation of a force IKE
this as the ounce OF preVen-
ton and the pound of cure at the same
time. The work is rapid and cheap'y
done and if applied w or three times
a year, the frequent dressing UP pre-
vents the wasting away of the road
bed and maintains at the same time
the sm%oothness Of surface not obtain
| able in any other way. Two or three
times around carries the movable sur
face toward the center of the road.

Illinois in force by which the funds
for road making are expended. BY a
vote at the town meeting an assess
ment is provided for and the tax is in
vested in road improvement by the
town commissioners.
Where no such vote is taken the work
is principally done by the poll tax which
enables people 10 work it out at their
leisure and about as they see fit. By this
| plan the work is usually done in a slip
shod manner The roadmaster may be
competent but the work is not suffi-
GENTLY under his control to enable
him to systemic and to use the labor
which is legally available for such use
TO the best advantage. BY the use of
the same mount of ready money as
may he represented in the poll tax,
much better results may be obtained
than can possibly be expected from
that labor expended without any defin-
lite object in view. 1t is surprising to
see what good roads and well kept
lanes will do for a country, in the ap,
pearance and the real value they bring
to those who are willing to devote
some attention to the subject. In fact
the character of the public roads is an
indication of the character of the
farmers whose holdings are tributary
to them. The sides of the lanes should
be kept smooth enough for the mower
which should be used as often as
needed.-Farmers' Union.

OF PURITY.


The Ratio OF Water In Butter to Be Fixed
by Law In England.
There has been in the analysis of but
ter in England considerable variation in
the standard of purity because of the
greater or lesser percentage of water.
An application has been made to the
authorities there to fxsome standards
that it could be uniform throughout the
whole kingdom. Some considerable
correspondence and discussion was I'D
with the local authorities by a commR-
tee appointed by the butter dealers, aid
the conclrHon was that if the standard
of purn3 was not sufficiently defined, it
was the business of the association to
approach Somerset house with a re-
quest for a national standard. and if
that did not remedy the evil, to take it
to the house of congress. This proves
this fact: there is a variation in the the
amount of water in various buffers, and
that oftentimes with a very high stand
ard of quality, dealers were liable to a
penalty when they were entirely inno-
cent of any intention of handling goods
that were not up to the standard.
In this country the standard has not
been fixed by law. but custom has fixed
it at from 12 to IS per cent. of water
in high-grade butter. Above Is per
cent. it would hardly be considered of
high grade, and below ~ per cent.
would be too dry for the ordinary re-
~quirements Of our best markets.-Elgin

Long Sentences,

It was the desire of Rev. Augustus
Jessopp, for many years a country cler-
gyman in England, to be welcomed by
his people Is II neighbor and friend
rather than as clergyman; but he ION.
fesses that he was often pulled up by a
reminder more Or less r%eproachful that
il lie had forgotten his vocation, his
host had not! Ever been to Tombland
fair, Mrs. Cawl?" he asked during q
%parochial visit, which he describes in
1.-THE Trials of a Country Parson." Mrs.
Cawl had a perennial flow of words,
which came from her lips in a steady,
unceasing and deliberate monotone, a
slow trickle of vernIage without the
semblance of a stop. She began:
Never been to no fairs sim l was a
girl; bless the Lord, nor mean TO Except
once when my Betsy went to place and
father told me to take her to a show and
there was a giant, and a dwarf dressed
in a green petticoat like a monkey on
an organ, an I says to Betsy my dear
they's the works OF the Lord but they
hadn't ought to be showed but as the
works of the Lord to be had i'll remem-
brance, and don't you think sir as when
they shows the works of the Lord
they'd ought to begin with a little
prayer" Nh. Jessopp admits that he
had no reply at hand, and believes that
Mrs. Cawl ever afterward privately con-
sidered him an i%rreverent heathen.-
