PLANT LIoe.

The state department, constantly in
receipt of valuable information from
all parts of the world, has just re.
celved through Richard Gunther, con
sui general at Frankfort, Germany,
and one of the most prolific writers
of foreign news, plan for destroying
plant lice. A prize was recently of
fered by the Practical Counselor for
Fruit and Garden Culture, an agrioul-
tural publication of Frankfort, for the
best method of destroying these gar
den pests. F'ifty-elght people compet-
ed and the prize went for the follow
ing recipe, which was, after expert
ment considered the best: Quassia
wood two and half pounds, to be
soaked over night in ten quarts of
water and well boiled, then strained
through cloth, and placed, with 100
quarts of water, in petroleum bar
rel, with five pounds of soft soap. The
mixture is then ready for sprinkling
upon plants infested with lice. The
most delicate plants are not injured
by the application and the mixture
may be covered over and kept from
spring to fall without deterioration.
The solution should be used as soon
as the insects are found, and if it
is repeated several times, they will
entirely disappear.

A Potato House,

Seeing an inquiry IN your valuable
paper on how to save Irish potatoes,
/ will give my fathers experience in
saving them. First, we have an Irish
potato house to keep them. Second,
we do not wait for the tops to die,
but dig when they begin to turn vel
low. We dig them and lay them in the
shade for about one-half of the day,
then bring them up and put them in
the potato house, and we never lose
any of them; have kept potatoes for
three years this way
Now for the house. Dig your house
fifteen feet long by FIVE in width, one
and one-half feet deep; then set a
forked post in each end and also one
in the center for the ridge-pole to rest
on. Then place poles from the ridge
to the ground on each side up close
to one another, then on top of that
place some straw or hay and then
put on your dirt. and your potato
house is done, except the ends We
tackled net wire over ours SO the
chickens could rot get In and then
spread some cotton sacks over that
lacking a little Of coming to the bot
tom, SO the air could pass through
OF course, when It rains we put some
oil cloth over each end to keep out
the water, bnt just as soon as the ram
is over we take that off Be sure tc
run your potato house north and south
and place your door in the north end
At present we have our house full Of
potatoes. They have been put VI
about six weeks and are just as sound
as can BEL. C. P, sisk, Texas, IN

Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
LynYa e. PEnItIDa0s1's
Vegetable COMPOUND

The wonderful power of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
Dr.. S. G. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
"It gives me great pleasure to say that
have found Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties
"My Oldest daughter found it very beneh-
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking 1t for fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
81 freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
cific In all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular menstruation, bloating
Tor flatulence), leucorrhea, falling, in
hammation or liberation of the uterus
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling, dizziness, faintness, indiges-
ton, nervous prostration or the blues
should take immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if she wants to be strong and
well.

seFor the TruckcrS~
HOW TO GROW, PACK AND SHIP
TURNIPS.
tFroln b, nouaton southern shppers, euldol

We have stated many times before,
that the average truckgrowers are
so carried away with glowing accounts
about immense profits on onions, po-
tatoes, cts, that they will ignore
many smaller vegetables, such as
radishes, beets, lettuce and turnps
and yet the fact remains that these
small vegetables are by far the most
profitable, the seeds are cheap, the
cultivation easy and market is found
everywhere at all seasons with remun-
erative profit. We know of plenty of
truck growers in the South who plant
turnips regularly every fall and make
from $500 to 5000 per acre. If our
subscribers Will plant even small
patch of turnips according to our direc-
lions they will find this a money crop
when shipped intelligently to large
Texas markets and all Northern and
Eastern markets. The secret Is: grow
the best, pack the best and ship only
to reliable markets. At many shipping
points are now small cash buyers that
hardly ever refuse to buy turnips when
offered in attractive manner. The tur-
nips with the green tops make an ad-
mirable dish in winter and spring and
are relished by everybody If properly
! cooked

The Santa Fe now has representa-

Seeds.
The most widely cultivated and best
known variety for either home use or
shipping is the Purple Top Strap
leaved Turnip 1t is round and fiat,
white on the bottom and reddish
purple above the ground which gives it
a pleasing appearance and it is very
quick grower and by far the best
seller. Some truckers SOW the Purple
Top Globe and White Globe with very
good results Turnips should make in
so to 10 days from the sowing of the
seed. 1t takes four to five pounds of
seed for one acre if broadcasted one
half the amount if sown in drills. In
the South turnips should be sown in
August, September, October, Novem-
Der, December, January and February.
Turnips can stand 70 degrees below
freezing without injury, or even low
er, depending somewhat on their age
and condition.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1905-08-16
Packing.

Turnlps should be tied In punches
like beets or radishes. Pull from the
field when the size is about that of a
half doller; place six in bunch; if larg-
er, only three in the bunch, while
washing adds greatly to the appear
ance Of all vegetables. yet it is poor
plan for shipping long distances. Veg
etables of all description carry better
if not washed. Clean as well as you
can without washing. This is by far
the best plan.
Turnips can be shipped in barrels by
express using 15 to 20 pounds of
cracked ice to the barrel, or in crates
well ventilated they can be shipped
without ice.
All OF our truckgrcwers who intend
to ship mixed cars of winter vege-
tables this winter should not ignore
turnips as they will turn out to be
the most profitable in the car, Be
fore shipping to any market get post
ed on market conditions; study freight
and express rates, Investigate the
standing of the commission merchant
to whom you ship. To ignore any of
these features and ship blind without
information means loss and can't mean
anything else. All business transac-
lions demand caution.
