The Long Tongued r,oe r,d

in extreme southern states advertise
long tongued queens" as though these
were a desideratum for that part Of
the country. As good authority rs G.

The movement for longer tongues
is simply to get the red clover crop Of
the north, which now Is practically

FLAVORS GOOD AND BAD.
Don't Blame the Old Cow For All the

Good flavor sells milk, cream butter
and cheese; poor flavor condc-9ns them.
The ordinary consumer calls flavor the
taste Of the article which tickles his
palate, but the expert knows that the
nerves of smell play the larger part;
hence we see the butter judge or
cheese expert pass the trier beneath his
nostrils with deep drawn breath and
meditative study of the aroma which
arises. y number of interesting things
about faulty tlavors and their origin
are told by the Geneva (N. " station.

If the lice have not been noticed I'M

worst affected leaves, especially on
bushes and small trees where the curl
ed leaves can be reached easily. One
or two careful sprayings following this
treatment should keep the lice in check.

IN A GARDEN.
Various Foes Make Life Strenuous,
but Are Overcome.


Everything went smoothly until the
cucumbers, squashes and melons began
to appear above the ground, and then
the striped cucumber beetles came out
in full force and proceeded to devour
the patch.
Paris green was applied by means of
a dry powder gun while the plants
were wet with rain. 1t killed n good
many of the beetles, but the plants
soon began to show signs of injury,
and within few days it became neces-
sary to replant nearly the whole patch
Later on air slaked lime containing a
little turpentine was applied to the
plants when the beetles appeared, and
it seemed to be at least partially effect
i've in protecting the plants.
Toward the end of June, when the
beetles became exceedingly aggressive
in their attacks, spraying with Dor
deauX mixture was reSorted to, and it
seemed to be the most efficient remedy
tried. This mixture, composed of four
pounds of lime and four of copper sui
phate (blue vitrioD to 80 gallons of wa
ter, is primarily a fungicide, but it
seems either to kill or drive away the
striped beetles better than do the usual
insecticides.
Few insects besides the striped beetle
caused any very serious trouble. The
cutworms nipped off Il few newly
transplanted cabbage plants, but were
dug from their hiding places beside the
destroyed plants and killed.
Cabbage worms were somewhat trou-
blesome, especially on the late cabbage
but succumbed to two Docs of helle-
bore mixed in water at the rate of one
ounce to n gallon and sprayed on the
plants. The mixture was made stron-
ger than usual because the hellebore
was not very fresh
Squash bugs became numerous late
in the season and were at least partial
ly responsible for the almost total fail

HEAT CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

From the Boston Daily Globe.
Exposed to the blasts Of icy winds
that blow and whirl from every point
of the compass. in the most exposed
part of the city of Boston, stand two
tents. which are the abiding place of
two Baltimore men. 1t was on Feb.
that A. H. Johnson of Baltimore
hired the land on which to erect his
tents. They the 10x15 feet in size.
They are heated by the German army
method. trench is dug around the
back tent with a branch to the other.
This is covered with sheet iron, with
an ordinary stove pipe for a smoke
outlet. Under this a fire is built and
very shortly the place becomes delight
fully warm. despite the bowling storm
outside.
The idea is to exploit new cure for
tuberculosis. The inStgator of the
idea is a southern physician, whose
name is widely known among medical
me mas a daring scientist and original
Investigator. He has sent DR.. Johnson
here to attend to the preliminaries and
will come himself this week to put his
ideas into operation.
The purpose of the tents is to demon
strate the value of the new theory of
baking for the cure of tuberculosis.
When the interior of the tent is COM
pleted they will show only chairs, ia
bles and the heated trench. In the lat
ter the tubercular patient will be
placed. 1t will be heated to a tempera-
ture of over 20 0degrees and the pa
uent viii lbe literally baked. 1t is
thought the intense heat will kill the
tubercular Dacilli which are the con-
sumptive germs.
The idea is merely a carrying out of
the system of baking now in vogue
in many Sanitariums.
