Remedies for Corn Pests.

Prof. j. w. Folsom discussed EN-
sects Injurious to the Corn Crop and
How to Combat Them" There were
over 200 insects, he said, which worked
damage to growing corn, and Of these
so species worked extensive injury,
their ravages causing enormous loss.
He> enumerated many Of the varieties
and told their habits and some meth
DDS OF discriminating them, OF the
chinch bug he said an effective way Of
keeping it out Of a field was to make a
dust furrow around the plant or sur
round it with a string Of tar. An
emulsion found effective by Prof.
Forbes in destroying the pest is made
of one pound of soap, one gallon of
rain water and two gallons of kero-
sene. One quart of the mixture is
stirred into Is gallons of water and
sprayed on the bugs.-Farmers' Voice.

Government Aid I. Needed.


The demand of the national grange
that government give aid in road
building would seem to be well based
when it is aAalyzed closely. The gov
eminent has spent over $50o. 0o0, 900 in
river and harbor improvements, and
will probably spend as much more in
digging a ditch across Panama. all of
which will benefit principally the
shipping and mercantile interests, and
farmers least Of all, or Indirectly at
best. Good roads benefit everybody,
and are used by everybody, whereas a
deepened channel or an improved har-
Dor helps only very few. N the gov
eminent can and does spend>its money
lavishly on such improvements as are
Of direct benefit to a comparatively
small number, how much wiser and
more important would it be to make
our highways better and let everybody
enjoy them.-Farm and Home.

When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of La
Crosse, Wis.,, introduced this remarkable
grass three years ago, little did they dream
It would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Ar. Editors wrote about it, Ayr. Col
lege Professors lectured about it, Ayr. In
stitute Orators talked about it., while in
the farm home by the quiet freside, in the
corner grocery, in the village .post-ofice, at
the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher-
ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dol
lar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for
s to IA tons per acre and lots Of pasture
besides, is always theme worthy of the
farmers voice.
Then comes Bromus Inermis, than which
there is no better grass or better permanent
hay producer on earth. Grows wherever
soil Is found. Then the farmer talks about
Salzer's Teosinte, which will produce 100
stocks from one kernel Of seed, II #. high,
in 100 days, rich in nutrition and greed:
lily eaten by cattle, hogs, ETC., and is good
for 80 tons of green food per acre.
Victoria Rape, which can be grown at Csc
q ton, and Speltz at zoe bu., both great
food for cattle, also come in for their
share in the discussion. TX. IL

these wise and prudent Sisters have

This young girl was under the care OF

The Rural Trolley Line.

The Importance Of the electric car
to the rural community as a means of
freight transportation is just beginning
to be appreciated, and it is believed that
the next few years will witness q won
derful development in this means Of
transportation If products. For several
years past miIg, garden truck and live
stock have been carried by the electric
cars from nearby farming districts to
the larger cities. Under the plan which
is rapidly spreading over the country
the regular railroad feright cars are
hauled by the cross-country electric
lines from the junction of the two roads
to communities many miles distant from
the steam cars.-Rural World.

separators Growing I'm Favor.

+ One of the most surprising changes,
to the uninitiated, going on among
farmers, is the rapidity which the farm
cream separator has grown in favor
with the best farmers. Formerly the
dairy business was slavish because. Of
the absence of natural conditions un-
der which dairying could be done ad-
vantageously. But since the introduce
ton of the farm separator. many
farmers have allowed the heifers to
live and develop into cows. and more
are increasing their number of cows,
all of which will call for more cream
separators till they are as common as
wagons.-Thomas Wing, in Farm and
Home.

cine for influenza, catarrh, cold, cough
and bronchitis"
Another reco mmend from q Catholic
institution of one of the Central States
written by the Sister Superior reads
rs f0L0WS:>
IA number of years ago our attention
was called to DR.. Hartman's Peruna,
and since then we have used it with
wonderful results for grip, coughs,
colds and catarrhal diseases of the head
and stomach.

cially it has been of great service to the
inmates of this institution"

Western Canada Will Soon Become
the supply Depot for Wheat for
~ Great Britain.

During the past year about $4,000
Americans went from the United States
to Canada. Most of these settled upon
farm lands, and the writer is informed
by agents of the Canadian Government
that the greatest, success has followed
the efforts Of nearly all. To their
friends on this side of the boundary
line the fullest assurance Is given of
the prosperity that is in store for
them. There will always be a splen-
did market for all the grain, cattle
and other produce that can be raised in
Western Canada, and with the advan-
tages offered Of free homestead Of
160 acres Of land, and other lands
which may be bought cheaply. an ex-
cellent climate, splendid school system,
educational advantages Of the best,
what more is required. The husband
man gets more return for his money
than in any other country in the world.
On the occasion of Sir Wilfred
Laurier's visit to the Corn Exchange;
London, Eng, Colonel Montgomery, v.
D.; made several important statements.
"The function the said) which you
have just been assisting in connection
with a kindred association has doubt
less shown you the importance Of tho
provision trade Of Liverpool in its re-
lationship with the Dominion, and the
enormous possibilities Of the future de-
velopment Of that trade. Well, the
grain trade Of Liverpool has interests
with. Canada no less important than
those of the provision trade. When it
is borne in mind that 80 per cent. Of
the breadstufts Of this great country
has to be brought from abroad. you will
readily appreciate with what great sat
isfaction we view the large and steadi-
ly increasing supplies of grain which
are annually available for export from
Canada, and I challenge contradiction
when say that Of the wheats we i'm
port from Russia, India, the Pacific, and
the length and breadth of the United
States, none gives more general salts
faction, none Is more generally apprecf-
ated, than that raised in the Province
of Manitoba. We cannot get enough Of
it, and it is no exaggeration. to say that
there are before US dozens Of millers
who hunger for it. This is not the
time to enter into statistical questions,
but we look forward with confidence to
the time at which, with the present
rate of progress, the Dominion of Can
ada will have sufficient surplus Of
wheat to render this country inde-
pendent of other sources of supply. I
think may, with justif1able pride, re-
mind you that this is the chief grain
market Of the British Empire, and
through its excellent geographical po-
sition, as we'll as through the enter
prise of its millers it Is now the Sec

The production of barley in the United

serted so that the pews may be
held to the floor by screws; thus

a complete overhauling. We
trust our brethren will not stop
their good work until every pew
Is furnished with good stulfy
