most any time of the year,except June
and July.
The grubs transform in June and the
beetles appear soon afterward, and
their presence is conspicuous by the
peculiar name in which they eat the
leaves, as shown in the picture, fur
nished us by Prof. M. V. Slingerland, of
Cornell university experiment station.
The work of these BEETLES can be seen
from the latter part of June until the
leaves drop in the autumn, and the
young vines may be seriously injured.
They usually begin on the lower leaves
and work upward, iniuring the tender
foliage as it comes out. Sometimes the
injury done by grubs below ground
in the roots is quite as severe as that
done by the beetle on the leaves. The
majority of the grubs are found just
beneath the large roots, where they
join the trunk. They gnaw the bark
from the roots and even completely
destroy the young rootlets.
The adult deposits it's eggs shortly
after it energies, and continues until
July. The eggs are laid in small patches
under loosened bark and often several
feet above the roots. Sometimes they
are pushed into the soil about the base
of the vine. When the grubs reach ma
turity they work themselves a short
distance from the main root, forming
earthen cells, in which they remain
during the winter until the following
June, when the adults emerge. If the
soil is kept in a loose, well-pulverized
condition and banked up slightly to.
ward the vine, many of the newly
Matched grubs will he unable to reach
the roots and are thus destroyed.
The soil about the base of the vines
should be kept pulverized by frequent
cultivation, especially during the
month of July. Advantage can also be
taken of the "possum habit" Of the
beetle, and they can be caught on
sheets in very much the same manner
as the plum or peach curculio is cap-
tured. Arsenate of lead or ~disparene
is recommended in preference to other
poisons for spraying foliage, as it will
stick much longer and there is little
or no danger of burning the leaves with
it. About one pound of disparene in
so gallons of water is generally recom-
mended, and the vines should be
sprayed between June 25 and July 49,

DR.. Hartman, the Famous ~Gyngcologist
and Inventor of Pe.ru.na Offers to
Treat Women Free During the Sum.
mel Months.

America is the land of nervous
m The great majority of nerv-
Gus women are so because they are suf-
fering from some form of female dis
ease. By far the greatest number of
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is, so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. The
greatest obstacle in the way of recov-
ery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of n hundred
are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.

Forcing the Lettuce Crop.

In forcing lettuce under glass at
the Geneva station it was found that
the best crops were grown where the
soil was fortified with stable ma
nure, though only small quantities
were needed. More than ten per
cent. was usually valueless, if not re-
ally harmful to the crops. Clay
loan proved a better medium for
growth than sandy loan, especially
when such manure was used. Chem
ical fertilizer alone did not force the
crops rapidly enough for profit, but
supplemented the stable manure ad.
mirably. Of the heterogeneous com.
mercial fertilizers, dried blood gave
somewhat better results than nitrate
of soda or sulphate of ammonia.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

Senator Elkins is somewhat
right when he says President Roose-
velt's message to congress on Cuban
reciprocity is applying the water
cur to congress-"
The friction between the civil
and military governments in the Phil
ippines is still smouldering, though
the home administration has ordered
them to get together.
A billion-dollar congress start
led the country a few years ago; a
two billion congress now seems prob
able. In the former case a democratic
victory "a the result. What will the
harvest be this year?
These breakfasts at Hanna's
house, attended by the president and
his hackers, look very much like an
attempt upon the part of Hanna to
tie up Mr.. Roosevelt as he attempted
to la3so the labor leaders.
President Roosevelt has given
congress another sand-bagging on
Cuban reciprocity, but the last week
does not offer any new inducement
over what he said in his former mes
sage. Republican congressman are
not generally mulish, and hate to get
out of touch with the pie-counter.
This congress is nearing adj
.iournment, and, like the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, has done nothing to lower the
tariff on trust productions, which Mr..
Hanna says "keep on letting well
enough alone" This may bel well
enough for the foreigners who can
buy the trust articles cheaper than
we can, but, then, republican rule
comes high, if we must have it.
The republican newspapers
claim that to talk about imperialism
in this country is all nonsense, and
yet it should be noted that the presi-
dent sends his family home on the
Dolphin, manned by the sailors of our
navy, and another fine vessel is being
fitted up for a summer cruise for the
president. Gov. Leonard Wood came
home from Cuba on a similar ship,
and had it at his service when gov
ernor Of Cuba. This ship was de-
scribed as most luxuriously fitted up.
1t may not be imperialism, but it has all
the pomp and power of an emperor
and his satellites.

ROnd to Dairy Success.

Much of the profit of dairying is eaten
up by the cows. A single cow may be
all right in appearance and eve in
the quantity Of milk yield, and yet
she may be merely an expensive luxury,
her feeding and care weighing more
financially than her butter product. Ev-
cry cow should be carefully tested not
only as to the amount of butter yield,
but as to the amount of feed she re-
quires to make it from. The test should
involve a careful weighing of feed as
well as butter, and cows that do not
yield a reasonable profit should be dis.

Wire Fence Telephones.

We have a telephone line six miles
long, using a wire on fences. To
cross highways we raise the wire on
poles high enough to serve the pur-
pose. Insulators must be used, 100 to
the mile we use, and they cost M cent
each. We have had no trouble with
breaking of wires by climbing fences,
but we post notices along warming
people not to do any damage. Each
farmer inspects the line on his own
farm occasionally, to see that every
thing is all right. We started with
secondhand phones that cost eight
dollars each, but now buy new ones
for $12. With new phones and fence
wire it costs about $3.50 to install a
phone in the house, and it will cost
about. 50 cents a year for maintenance.
We expect to have much more line
by fall.-Farm, Stock and Home.

AID COMING.
. Hand in Promoting Building
of Good Roads.

While the good roads movemenl
has yielded tangible and practical re-
suits in a few states the necessity
of federal aid and cooperation in the
building of state highways has long
been recognized. The fact that each
state concerns itself with its own
rural highways does not destroy the
enterprise, for these highways, to be
of permanent value must not only
reach across state boundary lines in
many instances but must ultimately
form parts of a great connected in
terstate system of country roads.
Its close and vital relation to in
terstate commerce therefore makes
the good roads movement a question
of as much national interest as the
improvement of rivers and harbors,
for which congress has appropriated,
since the establishment of the gov
eminent, nearly half a billion dollars.
If the millions that have been ex-
pended in the Improvement of In
heard-of creeks and boys to further
the interests of rural congressman
had been expended in the building of
interstate country highways the ben
eft to commerce and to agriculture
would have been far greater.
To secure action that will lead to
the adoption of a definite and prac-
teal national policy in this direction
is the purpose of the bill now pend
ing in congress, introduced by Repre-
sentative Beidler, of Ohio. 1t provides
for the assembling of a convention
representing the war department,
post office department, agricultural
department, interior department of
the federal government, as well as
every state and territory in the
union. AS this assembly will natu-
rally be largely composed of good
roads experts it is expected that it
will be able to formulate Legislative
recommendations to congress looking
to national aid that will be practical
and that will form the basis for a ma.
tional policy upon which the federal
government can enter actively
and aggressively.-Chicagc Record

Debts That Must BE Paid.

The up-to-date farmer pays his
debts. One, of the debts which he does
not forget is the one he owes to the
soil. He knows that each crop which
the soil yields takes from it some
thing of its fertility, and that, unless
this fertility is returned to the soil, 1t
soon can yield only a diminishedcrop.
So he is very careful, year by year, to
pay back to his land that fertility
the crops have taken from it.
He will keep his hired help all the
year, and year after year, for the
longer they are kept in his employ the
more valuable they are to him.-Jo'
seeph Carter, in Farmers Voice.

Danger in Quick Thawing.

The Geneva station botanist has
investigated a case in which pear trees
stored in a nursery cellar were Sc
verely injured by being thawed too
quickly. The sand around the roots
Of the trees had become frozen, and to
facilitate the removal of the trees a
small wood fire was built to thaw the
sand. The tops of $4,000 trees were
blackened and killed. Had the trees
been thawed very gradually it is prob
abla that no injury would have TO

IN FAR-OFF PROVINCES.

The island of Sakhalin, the great
penal colony of Russia, has splendid
forests of fir and pine.
Bamboo in Java makes an effective
poison, the hairs on che young roots
being mixed with food.
Kent's county council has decided
that baby carriages should carry lights
at night, as the language of the
statute regulating the lighting of We
hicles is general enough to cover per-
ambulators.
1t is one of the traits of the Chi
,nese to handle the things they use
very carefully, and hence cheap and
poorly made articles will last much
longer in service than with most peo-
pie. Goods made in China would be
of little value for use by Americans.

1t may be that the farmers and la
borers of this country are proud of
this trust, and contribute willingly to
swell its profits to unheard of figures.
1t may be that they envy the foreign
ers who get our trust goods cheap
and have no home trust to match
ours. 1t may be that they still think
of u steel trust as an infant that
could not get along without its tariff
pap. 1t may be that they will vote to
increase tariff duties and to add more
millions to the steel trusts profits.

pressed at the polls. will be made law.

Care of Onion SeedIinrs

To prevent damping off or simila,
troubles from killing onion seedlings
a good plan is to grow these plants
in a layer of clear sharp, new sand.
This sand bed, however, is only an
inch deep, and rests on a bed of old
compost or old rotted manure Both
bulb and stalk of each plant touch
nothing but the clear sand, which is
presumably free from infection. The
roots, however, o go down into the
rich compost beneath the sand, and
there find an abundance of plant
food to make a most rapid and
strong growth.

We would probably never have
known where the funds came from to
carry On this sugar trust c%ompaign,
if Senator Teller had not drawn it
out of Thurber when under oath before
the senate committee on Cuban rela-
lions, which is investigating the sugar
trust campaign. Thurber was rather
coy at appearing before the commit
tee, and it took some persuading to
get him on the stand. Evidently he
was suspicious of Senator Teller's in
tentions, and well he might be, for the
senator also drew from him that that
generous old soul, Havemeyer, had
also contributed a four-tigure check
for the same. cause. r.
1t would thus seem that the admin
istration, through Secretary Root and
Gen Wood, are hand and glove with
Havermeyer and the sugar trust, and
furnishing money to carry on the
q trust campaign, not out of their
own pockets, but, Rathbone-like, out
of the Cuban treasury.
How these patriots do love the
Cubans! One can hardly believe such
things would happen. The next thing
that may be expected after such an
exposure of cooperation of the ad-
m%inistration with the trusts is that
some way will be found to make a
draft on the United States treasury
to help the poor beef trust defend
itself against that other member of
the administration, the attorney gen.
eral.
After this exposure of the filching
of campaign funds for the sugar trust
from the cuban treasury, while con
trolled by the administration, con-
gress would seem to be duty bound to
make an appropriation for the amount
that the sugar trust campaign fund
has receivd from the Cuban treasury.
Having shown the Cubans the way to
influence legislation, we may in the
future expect a continuance of these
campaign methods by the new Cuban
government, in cooperation with Have
meyer and the sugar trust, until they
get free Cuban sugar.
