war on the Cut Worms.

The poisoned bait for cut worms is
made by mixing at the rate of one
pound of Paris green to so pounds of
bran, the latter first moistened with
water, but dry enough to crumble,
saws the Boston Cultivator. Some add
little sugar or mol~sses to the water
to make it more tempting, and others
nix cut green clover or clover hay with
it, that birds may not be so likely tc
pick it up, but the above are the essen
tial parts. Put spoonfuls of it near
each hill or along the rows where the
worms are plentiful, just before night,
and the worms will prefer it to the
plants, and be found dead there in the
morning. Do not use it where poultry
will get at it. Larger animals will
scarcely be able to pick up enough tc
do much harm, but it is better to KEEP
them away and to bury it after it has
done it's work. We do not know
whether line of it would destroy the
army worm or not.

POTATO FAILURES.
Most OF Them Are Due to InexcuSabIs
Negligence in the Selection OF
Tubers for Seed.

One very common cause of failure
In potato growing is poor seed, and
some growers do not realize this for
the reason that poor seed may give
them a good yield in a favorable sea.
son. If the soil is rich, and the
weather favors the plants, quite poor
seed may start crop that will yield
very well. The yield is good despite
the character of the seed, and then
the grower infers that such seed is
good enough, but in a bad year he
makes a failure and attributes it
wholly to conditions over which he
has no control The foundation for
a good yield in rather bad year is
laid when seed of the greatest vital
ity is planted. A strong sprout is
wanted-one that can help itself. AS
the potato is most vigorous in a cold
climate, the seed should come from
such sections at least every second
year. 1t is bad economy to plant
anything that has not lot of vigor
in it. Don't start the crop at dis
advantage; there is much surer profit
from an investment in the very best
seed obtainable.
1t is a common expression of some
growers that they cannot afford to
ret potatoes from n distance for
planting. Usually they are the ones
who can least afford not to do so.
If you have been using sprouted and
inferior stuff, let me urge test t,
prove the correctness of my asser
ton. Get some solid northern pota:
toes of the variety that is being
used, and plant few rows in tho
center of the patch or field, and dig
the strip separately. I do not recall
a single instance where this has been
tried that the grower did not regret
at digging-time that the more vigor-
GUS stock had not been used. The
difference is less marked in a good
wear. but it exists in some degree
any season, and amounts to a hig
thing in an unfavorable year. We
are after a crop when others fail and
prices are high, and no one has a
right to expect it from such seed as
many growers are using. If your
supply for planting was grown from
small potatoes, or if it is sprouted
and weakened, make the test for
yourself along the line suggested

He DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
The DOstOr's Dead Patients Were Not
a Source of Any Great Annoy
ance with Him.

There is a doctor of the old school in one
of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former home Of Mary
q. Wilkins. whose house is surrounded by
cemetery. The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth Of a mile Some might find such
house lot doleful, and surely heneighbors are
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers so muca as the prospect OF
going home at night, says the New. York
Tribune. In the country towns OF New
England the graveyard at night is still a
thing of terror, an inherited terror. There
are Still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, SO that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: "Are you not afraid to go home
sometimes at night|
And his answer is always the same: mo;
my neighbors will never trouble me; they
all owe me money"

Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound,
from two to five drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. tits the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of great living physician.

proved to be the best.
