THE SPRINkLINC CART.

fhe time now approaches when one may
expect
The days to get awfully hot.
You then from your wardrobe with great
care select
The airiest things you have got.
And when you have dressed with immacu-
late care
The sprinkllng cart man will compel YOU
to swear.
You start in the morning most jauntily
clad;
You're fresh and spic span as you please
The birds sweetly sing and all nature 10
glad.
You're happy and quite at your ease
Then fizz and kersplash-you are madden
ed at once:
You are sprinkled and splashed by that
water cart Ounce!
The man is no Ounce. though he's wicked
ly wise;
He sits there as silent as DEATH
He never looks up. neither does there
arise
Any sign that he's drawing his breath.
different look quickly your linen suit
takes.
He Just seems to know when you're dress
cd for a call
And slips up behind in so quiet a way.
Before you can dodge him he's sprinkled
Completely and drenched you and driven
away.
You swear you will kill him: you don't
though, because
For some unknown reason It's 'gainst the
state laws.

Travelled Robin Brood.

W. S. Reed, M. D., tells the story of
a robin who took possession of pas
senger coach which had been left for
several weeks unused at East Thomp-
son, on the Southbridge branch of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad. The robin built her nest on
the framework Of the trucks under the
body of the car. The bird had been
seen around the car by different en-
ployes Of the road, without their sus-
pecting the presence of the nest until
the car was coupled on and hauled to
Southbridge. The mother followed the
train, and on it's arrival brooded and
fed her young, which were just
Matched. She followed the train back
on it's return trip to East Thompson,
where she again fed and housed the
young birds. On the second trip of
the train, in the afternoon, the bird
again followed her young to South
bridge and back to East Thompson,
where the car was sidetracked and
given into possession of the robin,
rent free, until her family were
grown. The distance travelled by the
bird in the two round trips was sc

of these is the house which is known
as the Chiffon house, No. 225 Della
ware avenue. 1t is tall, yellowish
gray brick house, perched upon the
top Of high bank like a bald eagle
on rock, the grading of the street
long after it was built having left it
high and dry, and the owners hav-
ing to add basement, and afterward
terrace their front yard.
The house was built in 1909 on the
level of the street, by William Brent,
formerly of Virginia, at that time
clerk of the supreme court. His own
stately mansion was beside this
new house," this latter having, been
put up for renting purposes. 1t was

there for thirty years. From the time
of William Brent's death the house
was known as the Chiffon house and
on their return from Canada Mr.. and
Mrs. Chiffon again took possession OF
it, expecting to end their days there.
The house is more quaint and an

the outside. The hall is wide and
roomy, according to the fashion of
the day and the magnificent idea of
hospitality, and the drawing rooms
are large, square rooms, with broad

doors are finished with massive, shin
ing brass locks, screwed upon the
inner side, and finished by a huge
brass key with ring at the end.

The Potato Buq.


One Of the great obstacles to the
raising OF potatoes has been the po-
tato bug; yet this insect is easily con-
trolled, if the farmer will resort to
the use of the arsenical poisons:. A
good many farmers, however, are
afraid to have poison around, knowing
mat now and then very serious acct
dents happen as result of it's pres
ence. Such farmers are forced to re-
sort to the old methods of hand-pick-
ing. Indeed, such potato grower as
L. B. Terry hand-picks his potato
bugs. The most popular course, how
ever, is to use paris green either as
dust or as part Of liquid solution.
II the bugs are taken as soon as
they appear, it will seldom be neces-
sary to treat the entire field. The
bugs being killed on the part Of the
field where they appear, will have no
opportunity to extend their labors to
other parts. There are many combi-
nations used, but one pound of pure
paris green to $50 gallons of water
is enough. When dust is used one
pound of the paris green may be
mixed with so pounds of air slaked
lime and the resulting powder ap-
piled by being sifted over the plants
with some kind of box in which are
small holes. A good sized pepper
box is found serviceable. In such a
case it is better to apply the dust
while the dew is on the vines.

Adapting Corn Varieties.

IL Adapting Corn Varieties.
- we are always learning something
new about the corn plant. One thing,
new at least to good many students
OF the corn plant, is that corn varie-
Ties differ so greatly in their charac-
terlstlcs that success or failure with
corn depends on the selection of the
right varieties for certain fields. 1t
IS not unusual to hear of a man de-
claring that the variety of corn he
grows is one of the most profitable
in the world and will give most aston
lshlng yields. The fact is that he is
growing it on location that is admir-
ably suited to it. We are now coming
to have varieties of corn adapted to
uplands and to lowlands. The lowland
variety may do very we'll on the up
land in wet year, but in a dry year
proves almost failure, while the var
lety adapted to the upland yields we'll
even in bad seasons. At the present
time this differentiation is only be-
ginning to be made. During this sum-
mer corn growers would do we'll to
watch the behavior of corn on low
lands and uplands. At the present
time we have only very meager data
by which to figure out what kind of
corn a man should select for the bot
tom lands and what kind for the up-
lands. Some of our experimenters
are only now just beginning to study
the corn plant from this standpoint.
We have. however, much to hope for
from our agricultural colleges in this
matter. The students are taking great
interest in such matters and are talk
ing up every phase of corn growing.
This study of varieties is one that
may we'll engross the attention OF
some of the brightest minds.
