Strawberry Enemies.

In common with all other domestic
fruits the strawberry has its insect
and fungus enemies, says a straw
berry grower. Among the more de-
structive of the former are the white
grubs, n name given TO the larval
stages OF the different species of the
June beetles. AS these work no ap-
parent injury until the patch Is two
years old, II is advisable where injury
II liable to occur TO plow under the
patch as soon as the first crop is har-
vested. Other insect pests are the
Strawberry Sawiiy, or slug. and the
Strawberry Leaf Roller. These may
be controlled to a certain extent by
spraying. Rust. or Strawberry Leaf
Blight. as II Is commonly called. Is
perhaps the most destructive enemy
OF strawberry culture. This disease

the leaves and attacks the fruit stems.
often completely girdling them. caus.
ing them to shrivel up. and the ber-
ries are consequently useless. Fifty
per cent Of the crop Is often lost from
this cause. The most satisfactory
remedy for this evil Is spraying with
the Bordeaux mixture. which should
be applied In July or August Of the
previous year and before and after
blossoming Of the fruiting season.

Ace No Barrier.

That age Is no barrier to scholastic
attainments is frequently demon.
strated. II often happens that men
who enter university at the age when
most students graduate. make better
records than their fellows. Perhaps
II is due to ripened intellectual pow.
ers. perhaps 10 the fact that they work
harder and more earnestly and waste
less time. Such a case was that Of
DIR. Phillip Arthur Reppert, who was
recently awarded the Benjamin Rush
medal for the highest scholarship dur.
ing the last four years at Rush Medi.
cal College. He was selected for the
honor from class Of 227. Two years
ago Mr.. Reppert won the Freer medal.
II is the first time In the history Of the
institution that one student has won
both medals. DIR. Reppert was form.
erly a railroad man. For ten years
he was train dispatcher on the Bur.

Spray Tank Aqitators.

The agitator is one important point
In the consideration OF pumps, and
where any amount OF spraying is to
be done It is absolutely necessary that
the pump should have an agitator In
connection with II. or that there should
be an agitator In the tank that can
be operated independently OF the
pump. says one who sprays sci.
entiacally. Some pumps. especial.
ly power pumps, are fitted with
return pipe leading from the
pump back into the mixture. This
pipe acts as an agitator by some of
the liquid being forced back under
pressure. Agitators OF this sort are
not satisfactory as they cause n hub
bling motion In the center OF the
liquid while the outer portions are
disturbed very little. Agitators OF the
paddle type give much better service
as they cause a violent movement Of
the entire contents Of the tank.

What Was III

Friarpoint, Miss. Aug. 3rd,-One OF
the strangest cases ever reported oc-
Cured here recently. The son of Mr..
q. L. Butler was very III. The doc
tor said he had some disease Of the
spinal cord, and treated him for two
months. but he grew worse all the
time. and finally the doctor told Mr..
Butler that he did not know what
was the trouble.
The boy would wake up In the night
and say that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want To
run out Of the house. saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discour.
aged t.ll one day he saw new rem,
edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills adver.
tised, and he at once bought some
and began to give them to his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be
fore he was entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since. Mr.. Butler
says:
II feel II my duty to tell what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remedy needs Is a fair
chance and II will speak for itself"

Peanuts Produce soft Lard


II is we'll known that peanuts pro-
duce soft lard, says a bulletin Of the
Alabama Experiment Station. When
the feeding of peanuts was continued
uninterruptedly up to the date OF
slaughter the resulting lard melted
at the low temperature Of TAG degrees
Fahrenheit. or at the temperature OF
an ordinary living room In spring. II
has been claimed that by feeding en-
tirely on corn for few weeks before
the date OF butchering the flesh and
lard can be brought to the normal de
gree OF hardness. This was not the
case in this experiment. By discon-
tinuing the peanuts Ave weeks before
the hogs were killed and feeding
thenceforward exclusively on corn
meal we succeeded In raising the
melting point to s0.7 degrees Fahren-
heit, an increase Of 6.1 degrees Fab
renheit. This lard. however. was still
much softer than that from hogs never
fed on peanuts. In a similar expert.
during the four weeks Immediately
preceding the time OF butchering ef-
fected a considerably greater increase
in the melting point Of lard from the
pigs previously fed on peanuts, but In
that test as in the present one the
feeding Of corn during a short period
did not make the resulting lard equal
In firmness to that made by continued
feeding Of corn.
In this experiment the lard pro
duced by feeding chufas was prac
tically as soft as that obtained from
peanut.fed pigs.
