a Way to Cot Rid of Potato Bugs.

a good way to get rid of the potato
bugs that are so troublesome and do
SO much damage each year is to take
about a pound Of what is known as
s'trashn tobacco and about four pounds
sof cedar twigs. Place these in large
kettle and pour on about 10'gallons OF
water into which about quarter OF a
pound of lye soap has been dissolved,
! and let the whole business boil for ~
minutes or SO. when this is cool 1T
may be sprinkled on the vines with a
broom or small brush as often as re-
quired. It would be good idea at
! first to apply it every other day.

VARYING Information.

A traveller who took the TRANSIT
berian route across the Russias says
in "a New Way Around an Old
World" that the preliminary answers
to his questions about ways and
means were delightful In their diver
sity. In America, Japan, China and
even Russia he was cheerfully misled,
in various fashions. about his journey.
No two people agreed concerning it,
or came within sight of agreement.
These were the comments upon his
scheme:
"It can't be DONE"
"You can do it easily"
ut will take two months"
"You can go through in % days"
"You will get stuck on the sand
bars for weeks"
"Yeu will have no difficulty whatso-
ever"
"The steamers run only occasional.
ly, and do not begin until June"
"The steamers run daily, and the
river is open early in May"
"You will need heavy clothes and
all your winter furs."
''You will find delightful summer
weather"
"You will have to ride in cattle
cars when you have ended your jour.
ney by boat"
"You will have the most luxurious
railway accommodations in the
world"
The result of experiment was. how
ever, that the journey was full Of dis
comforts and delays, and yet proved
we'll worth the trouble.

"Nitrogen Gatherers.' y

The advantage Of plowing pease,
clover and other nitrogenous plants
under is that nitrogen is added to the
soil because such plants are nitrogen
gatherers.e When oats. rye, or buck

MAY IMPORT WHEAT
Serious Shortage I'm Frances Crop Re
ported by Consul General.

Washington August IA. - France
practically has completed the harvest
ing of her wheat at about the time
when it usual y begins and 1t is no
longer doubtful that there will be a
very serious shortage. This informa-
tion is conveyed to the state depart
ment in q report from the Consul
General Skinner, at Marseilles. 1t is
the firm belief in some quarters say
the consul general that France will
have TO become again an importing
nation of this commodity, and the
country will have to look abroad dur
ing the coming year for about 5000, =
600 bushels.
About 20, 900, 600 bushels of soft
wheat TO make up this shortage is
expected 10 come from the United
States provided prices keep slightly
under or ON a par with those of Rus
sian wheat. Already at least one
cargo of American wheat of the new
crop is on its way to France and has
been sold in small lots in order to
disseminate information concerning
the quality of the new crop the more
rapidly,
The French importers, Says MIR.
Skinner, hope that the Americans will
not force prices to a point that will
strengthen abnormally competition
from Russia and anticipate that the
business of this year will be like that
of 1898, when the French crop was
short and large quantities of wheat
came from the United States.

The American is a little severe on
