We are in no sense prophet, but
we will venture the prediction that
there will be the usual number of
bugs, beetles, borers and. insect pests
of high and low degree to wage war
on all vegetable and animal life on
the farm this coming season. Be-
tween the weeds and the bugs it is
often nip and tuck for the farmer to

The feeding OF live stock on farms
is becoming serious question with
farmers who are short on hay and
other course feeds, and they are

one corner in hopeless confusion;
there is a strong odor of soap suds, I've
and insect exterminator and a general
feeling of dampness and discomfort
in the atmosphere. The children
come and 60 in subdued, half-scared
manner, while the men go, but come
not unless driven to do so by the
pangs of hunger. In the meantime
the boss of the ranch is thoroughly
enjoying herself. She Yields broom,
scrub brush, mop, and window clean
ing apparatus with uniagging zeal
from morning till night. glorying in
the thought that for once her prem
Uses will be thoroughly clean. After
all it is sad that cleanliness cannot
be secured with less discomfort.
