BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE,

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
tion that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton OF dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, the favorte medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids d.
gestlon, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purfies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

THE HAY WORM,
This Rather Rare Insect Is Findins
New and Agreeable Food In Alfalfa.

The clover hay worm Pyrals costa
lis) is in evidence in some sections.
From inquiries reaching the Kansas
station it seems that this insect is more
abundant than formerly in that state.
1t has long been recognized, but until
recently has attracted little attention.
With the extension of alfalfa growing.
however, this species finds new and
entirely suitable food. and its abun-
dance in stacks of this valuable hay
may well mark it as pest of lmpOr-
lance.
The station states that this worm at
lacks clover and alfalfa hay both in the
NOW and in the stack, cutting up the
leaves into chaffy pieces and webbing
the mass together by abundant cases of
silken threads, which it is the habit OF
the worm to spin at all times. Hay so
infested looks moldy and matted. and
the abundance of the silllen threads,
mingled with the excrement of the
worms, renders the hay distasteful TO
cattle.
When young, the worms are of n dir
ty white color, darkening as they grow
older until they become livid brown.
When mature, they measure about
three-quarters of an inch in length.
The pupal stage is passed in n thin
silken cocoon spun near where the lar
val life Is passed, and the adult moth
Is soon given forth, trim little insect,
with wings spreading about four fifths
of an inch, in color n lilac brown OF
purple, with two bands of a lighter
shade, each starting from yellow spot
on the front of the wing.
The moths may frequently be seen
resting on walls and timbers within
barns where clover hay has been stor-
ed, and their appearance in such places
should warn the owner to clean out tn,
mows thoroughly before storing the
new crop. The insect Is always more
abundant where old hay remains over
summer and in stack bottoms rebuilt in
the same places year after year of the
waste hay remaining over. Much less
danger of attack will result If such
waste hay be fed out clean, or IL badly
infested it should be burned.

CANNING CORN.
One of the Secrets of n Bright, Fresl
and Wholesome Product.

1t Is well known that there are some
secrets" in canning corn so that it wiz
keep well, be wholesome and at the
appearance, and Professor r. II. Price
of Texas calls attention to one of these
in an article in Farm and Ranch, as
follows:
Great complaint has been made
against southern canned corn because
southern canning factories, as a rule,
"are not on to the canning secrets"
used by canning factories of the north
In canning corn in our factory at the
college we have carried on some exper-
iments along this line during last year
and also during this year. We have
found that salycilic acid and cream of
tartar have both been used to keep the
natural color of corn. We do not like
the idea of using any chemical COM
pound.
l have just learned of another meth
cd that l consider safer and much bet
ter This method has just been tested
by our factory here and found to be
satisfactory. l wish to recommend it to
all canning factories of the state wher-
ever it is not known in order that they
may try 1t during the present season.
There are some 20 new factories start
ing up in the state this year to which
especially recommend this method.
The first thing to do is to can the
corn while fresh. Do not let it stand in
the cans long before processing" Aft
er processing" cool the cans off in wa
ten at once to stop the cooking This
method not only gives the corn a supe-
rior flavor, but it improves the color
very much. If this method is followed,
l believe the canned goods from south
ern factories can compete successfully
with the canned goods from northern
factories. However, it will be long
time before southern factories will sup
ply the home demand.
/ have not yet tested this method Of
cooling the cans for fruits, but l will
later on this year, as firmly believe it
will greatly improve the flavor and
color Of fruits also.

The hens are reported fairly good lay

ems are fairly hardy and make satisfac-
tory development.
Some authorities claim that, while
the Cornish are a. variation on the orig
inal type in the direction of blocky
build and development of flesh. they
also mark a great departure from the
original hardness and egg producing
merits of the type.

BIG PROFIT IN CHERRIES.
Dark Varieties the Money Makers,
with Windsor In the Lead.


The best sweet cherries | have seen
south of central New York are along
the fences where the cultivator has not
disturbed them. In northern Delaware
ries in the fence rows and corners, but
nearly all of the orchards that have
seen in which modern cultivation meth
DDS are attempted have been failures.
In central and eastern New York the
sweet cherry has to be kept on medium
thin land. My father has young or
chard that is booming on land that
would be considered poor for farming
purposes, but the trees respond there to
tillage.
The sour cherries will probably do
best under high culture. While they
grow well along the fences, they need
more moisture than the sweet varieties
and pay well under the best treatment.
The dark kinds are the money max
ers. Black Tartaran, Black Eagle,
sorts at home. There is big money in
Windsor, and If Dikeman turns out as
we expect it there ought to be more in
it.
Sometimes the sweet cherry needs
lime and dies for want of it. Some
kinds need it more than others. Tarta-
rian, | believe, is one of them. Thus
writes Professor G.. II. Powell to Rural
New Yorker.

HELPED THEMSELVES.
How the Citizens of m Illinois Town
Got Library.

ho" the (itizehs Oh nm Illinois TOWN
Got Library.
Greenup. an Illinois village, merits a
library gift from Andrew Carnegie, not
to awaken interest in library creation,
but as a reward for what the citizens
have done in meeting the need of such
an educational center. They have shown
how a village of 1000 population can
establish practical library without a
bequest and without the aid of public
funds.
The scheme originated with the wo-
mans clubs, and soon every resident
was interested. A "book shower" at
one of the churches brought In 2S2 de-
sirable books as nucleus, and call
for subscriptions in books or money
brought the total up to 1000 volumes.
A second call added 500 more, and con-
trbutions are still coming in, no one
person, however, giving more than $40.
An unused room in new schoolhouse
was assigned for the library, the local
carpenters putting up the shelving as
their contribution, and the librarians
serve without compensation.
This is only one illustration of the
way in which this village takes hold of
an enterprise with popular accord. II

Lettuce For Late Summer and Fall


The summer and the fall supply of
lettuce Is usually cut short by the per-
sistent habit of the early sown of run
ming up to seed, so that the table is
usually minus this delicacy quite early
in the season. Select moist and some
what shaded spot. work the soil fine
and mellow and make very rich with
we'll rotted stable manure or, better
still, soak the soil thoroughly with liq-
uid cow manure. After two or three
days rake well and SOW the seed not
too thickly and cover lightly. AS the
plants begin to grow thin out for use
or transplanting. and the remaining
ones as they get more room will begin
to head up nicely and, with plenty Of
water and good culture, will give a
supply indefinitely. ANY surplus above
home or market use will be profitable
for poultry, advises an exchange.
