the venom of the serpents. In point of
fact, snake bite is term usually given
to almost every case of sudden death,
the origin of which is shrouded in the
slightest mystery, and it must be re-
membered that native doctors are COM
paratively ignorant and unable to dag
nose many causes of death.
An Englishm an of high position, long
a resident of India, assured me that
while poison was often the cause OF
death among the natives it was more
often administered by enemies or by
relatives of the deceased eager to inner
it. In the case of natives mysterious
deaths are not investigated and the
corpse is burnt the morning succeeding
the decease. So much for the snake
bites of India.-Prof. Clarence B. Moore

Good Roads.

The Eustis Lake Region thus expati
ates on very popular topic.
What magnificent development
would result if the counties would unite
and say one to the other, if you build
road to my boundary, I'll build one to
yours. The state would soon be grid
ironed with roads, and every road would
be lined with farms, shade trees and
hedgerows. The farmer could get his
produce to market cheaper and his
children to school easier, and the edu-
cation thus obtained would find it's way
back into the soil and out Of the soil
again in more plentious crops, for edu-
cation is as essential to the farmer as to
him who would attain success IN any vo-
cation.
Ideal road building would be sure to
bring other blessings. When transport
alton is made good it is easy to induce
the government to put into effect it's
much thought of extension of the postal
delivery system to the country. This
would enable the farmer to keep in
touch with the world, to get his daily
paper, and to apply to his business what
he reads as constantly as the man of
the city applies il to his.
Every county has at it's disposal con-
victs, whose work should be applied
only to road building. 1t would be bet
ter if the idea went even further and
became enacted into law that required
not only the county convicts to do no
other work than bodybuilding, but state
convicts as we'll. Under this plan no
convict would be made an unequal COM
petitor of an honest wage Garner.

soils has very little to do in connection
with the presence or absence of the
worms. The main feature required by
many Of them is some sort of vegetable
debris among which to shelter the eggs
and young larvae during early spring,
and for alternating species, the larvae
IN winter Loose, dry SOIL, especially if
sandy, is more readily dug into by
worms during daytime than are the

offer the desired retreats in the shape of
clods or other superlying encumbrances.

Fighting Gut Worms.


1t is rather a difficult matter tc name
any single or even two or three remedies
that will apply TO all cut worm depreda-
tions. Before the various species had
been separately studied, it was and even
now is supposed by many that what is
true of one is also true of all species of
cut worms. The different kinds appear
at different seasons, and work in differ
ent seasons, and work in different ways,
hence must be fought in various ways.
In the garden many Of the worms can be
taken by supplying artificial hiding
places for them in the form of blocks,
chips, or boards, which can be ex-
amined each morning and the worms
crushed. Digging about hills of corn,
stalks of cabbages and tomatoes, and
other plants showing recent disturbance,
will usually result in the finding of the
culprit. Cones Of tar paper set about
plants will act as safeguards against
their attacks, provided the paper pro-
jects an inch above ground. Salt is also
said to be repulsive to the worms. This
latter mode of fighting injurious insects
is not highly recommended, since salt is
also more or less detrimental to the
growth of mary kinds of vegetation.
In fields of corn and other compare
lively large tracts, these remedies will
not answer, and all others must be
resorted to- Usually second planting
of the field ten days or two weeks later
will be SUCCESSFUL; for by that time the
worms will have transformed to chrysa-
lids. Occasionally, too, the planting of
double amount of seed has the desired
result of insuring full stand. Disturb
ing the soil is also of some benefit, while
heavy rolling after night, when the
worms are at or near the surface, is an
excellent idea, especially where the soil
is of compact nature. For some
species of these worms, very late fall
blowing is a remedy not to be over
looked. Some of the worms hatch
during late fall, and live in clusters
among vegetable debris, in which situa-
tions they hibernate. Flowing burles
them so deeply that they cannot regain
the surface, and perish.
All cut worm moths are attracted by
sweets, and especially by fermenting
sweets. A good idea, then, is to take
advantage of this habit and set up traps
for them by mixing molasses and stale
beer, or even vinegar, and smearing the
substance upon trees, fence boards,
posts, ETC., and visiting the places to
kill them. Pans of kerosene or soap
suds, set in close proximity to these
traps will catch ana kill many of the
the moths. Lights are not to be used
when other remedies will answer just as
well, for just as many beneficial as in
furious insects are attracted by them.
Robins are good cut worm traps, as are
also various other birds. Quality of

To combat this growing evil Prof. Edward
E. Phelps, Nj. D., LII. D., of Dartmouth
college, made nervous diseases his special
study. The fruitful outcome of his long

! disorders that had persisted despite long
| treatment, at once yielded to it. Men and
| women who had suffered for years from
broken and unrefreshing sleep, from head
aches, rheumatism and neuralgia. found
thatPalne'S celery cOmpounn not only speed
lily cured these troubles, but that they work
ed better and felt more encouraged than had
been possible to them for years.
