The Onion Maagot.

Every onion grower should prepare
to combat this destructive pest and
begin early. The onion maggot is
the immature stage of a small fly that
lays eggs in the onions when they are
very small. The fly looks something
like small house fly. The maggot
appears sometimes when tho plants are
quite young and works directly into
Hhe bulb entirely destroying it for use.
OF course all infested plants should
be carefully taken out and burned as
soon as discovered. Treatment with
kerosene and sand for small patches
of onions and treatment with CONNER
cial fertilizers for large fields is rec
commended. The kerosene and sand
treatment consists of placing moistened
sand with kerosene oil alongside the
young plants, but not quite touching
them. 1t keeps the flies from laying
their eggs and kills some young mag
= gots outright. Use a cupful of oil to
bueketful of dry sand. The fertilizer
treatment is as follows: With hand
plow turn aside the soil from the rows
of young plants, making little furrow
on each side Of The TOW, then SOW

Grim Destroyer Did Not Appear.

About two weeks ago an Indian
from one of the nearby reservations
came to town to buy coffin. He
went to the Mohn & Driscoll estab'
lishment, where he bought and paid
for a $50 casket.
He explained that no one was dead,
but a daughter of his was expecting
to die, and he wanted to be ready for
business If the Great Chief decided to
call her. However, he wanted pro-
vision that he could return the coffin
and get his money back II death fall
ed to enter his home.
This morning he came back to town
with the coffin, and went around to
get his money back. After waiting
around several days for the visit OF
the Grim Destroyer to come, the old
redman became convinced that he
was not going to get to use that co.,
fin.
The girl got better, and is now as
well as ever, and the father was put
to all Of his extra pains for nothing.
The next time any Of his people
take a notion to die he Is going to
let them go ahead and shuttle of be-
fore he gets a casket, for he does not
propose to be disappointed In this
manner again.-Phoenix Gazette.

rurnius for Summer.

Turnips may be raised for summer
use il they are sown early enough.
They must be grown in the cooler parts
OF the year, otherwise they become
bitter. Sown early and on moderate
ly fertile soil they will make quite a
desirable addition to the list Of useful
roots. But they have a still further
use. The tops make a pot-herb and
lose none of their young and shrd 8
lose none of their value by being
cooked with the young and tender
roots. The turnip is not half appre-
ciated. It can be grown at the begin
ming and the end of the season, In
hooks and corners suitable for a few
other plants, and serves as a handy
crop to succeed several others, keeping
down the weeds. It is surprising to
find how much Of the seed can be sown
If It is at hand.-National Fruit

Preventing Cedar Rust.

disease called cedar rust, which
spreads to apple trees from cedar ap-
pies, commonly carried on cedar trees,
and pasture savins, has been invest1-
gated at the Nebraska station with
the conclusion that spraying with bor-
deaux mixture will keep the disease in
check, making the application when
the cedar apples on cedar trees show
the. orange color, followed with an
other spraying ten days or two weeks
later. It is also recommended to de-
stroy cedar trees or at least to get
out the cedar apples for considerable
distance around the orchards Where
distance is carried on for apple scab,
etc., the same spraying would answer
for the rust.

Fertilizers.

A man must use fertilizers intelll-
gently or he will throw away a great
deal of money upon them. 1t IS ao-
surd for a farmer to purchase fer
tilizer and put it upon land that ne
does not know needs fertilizers. A
man should not expend dollar in
fertilizers till he knows what kind he
needs. If his land is rich in certain
element he will but throw money away
if he buys fertilizers to put on his

what the Farmer Amounts To.

The department Of agriculture estl-
mates that during the past year the
American farmer has produced almost
six. and one half billion dollars, which
is more than the National debt of the
United States, and would buy half the
railroads in the country. His business
that he does along dairy lines amounts
to more than the combined iron and
steel industries and his numerous 9TH

gigantic scale Who would dare to
say that the farmer is not an import-
ant factor in the vast business done by
this country?-New York Witness.

Life After Death.

A German biologist has been m
vestigating the question Of the activ'
ity Of animal bodies after death, and
has published some suggestive con-
clusions. It appears that death is
not instantaneous through the physi'
cal organism, for it has been OBJ
served that many Of the different It's
sues continue active for consider
able period after the time when the
animal is assumed to be dead, par
ticularly in the case of the lower
animals. Cells from the brain Of a
freq, for example, have been kept
alive for over a week when held in
certain solutions, and the heart OF
a frog has been known to beat Tor
many hours after being removed from
the dead body. The hearts OF turtles
and snakes will beat for days, or even
a week, after death.

Potato Spraying Saved s22 Per Acre.

In. the efforts to make potato spray
ing popular among the farmers OF the
state. the New York Experiment sta
ton at Geneva has been carrying on
cooperative tests with farmers in all
parts of the state. AS result of the
spraying carried on by forty-one far
mers, on a total of 1863 acres, the aver
age gain due to spraying was fifty-eight
bushels per acre, at cost Of about 50
per acre, giving a net profit Of about
$22 per acre, after paying the ex-
pense of spraying. AS result of this
good work it is asserted that the prac-
tice sof spraying Is on the increase in

Treatment to Exterminate Lice.

Treatment to Extermlnate Lice.
Dr. R. A. Craig, veterinarian at tie
Purdue experiment station, Lafaye,.t .te
Ind, has issued bulletin on the treat
ment Of live stock for lice, and the di,
rections if followed out will result in
saving many dollars. Farm stock
that has become infested with vermin
during the winter months do not thrive
as they should, and in the spring may
show marked unthriftiness. This is
especially true when stock is not well
cared for and in young animals. The
sucking lice are more harmful than
the biting variety, as the former have
mouths adapted to penetrating the
skin and sucking the blood Of the host.
However, the symptoms may be as
marked in sheep and other animals
that are badly infected with biting
lice. In some cases the wool or coat
becomes matted and inflamed as a re-
suit Of the animal running, biting and
scratching the parts. Good care dur
ing the winter will prevent the lice
from doing a great deal of harm, and
the simpler remedies, such as nercu-
rial and sulphur ointment rubbed back
of the horns or ears and along the
name or back, and insect powder dust
ed into the coat may help in destroy
ing them. A thorough treatment Of the
herd with dips or washes can not be
practiced during the winter months un-
less the treated animals are prevented
from catching cold. A favorable time
to use this line of treatment is in the
spring. A 1 or percent water solu-
ton Of a tar disinfectant should be
used. A convenient way to apply the
remedy in the larger animals is with a
spray pump and in sheep and hogs
by dipping. Whatever method is
used the coat and skin must be thor
oughly wet with the solution Proper
care should be taken in mixing the
remedy, as there is danger of making
it too strong and irritating the skin.
After treating the herd, the stables or
sleeping quarters should be sprayed
with about 2 percent water solu-
ton of the disinfectant or whitewash
may be used instead. This is neces-
sary to protect the herd from the sur
roundings. If there is much litter
about the yards the herd should be re-
moved to other yards. The disinfect-
ants in a l or percent solution do
not destroy the eggs or nits, hence
it is necessary to treat the animals
again in ten days or two weeks. Sui
phur will help when fed to the ami
mails. 1t is effective when used ex-
ternally and the addition Of four ounces
to every gallon of the tar disinfectant
solution used will greatly increase the
effectiveness Of the remedy.

What of the Horse?

During the last year it is stated on au-
thority that over $4,000 automobiles for
travel and hauling have been sold and
gone into use. The prediction OF the
manufacturers of these power wagons
and carriages for several years has
been the passing of the horse" while
in fact we really see daily the horse
passing" everywhere more frequently
than ever, and the cry Is there are nos
enough horses to supply the demand
AS we have said several times before
the power vehicle, like all other ad-
vancing movements, came to supply
the demand for more rapid movements,
just as the steam railway came to facil-
itate more rapid transport than the
stage afforded, and like the electric
roads to accelerate hourly demands
for travel which steam trains two or
three times a day did not supply. The
stage, indeed, has passed. but the
horse supplies place and demand
neither steam nor electric roads can't,
for they go with their burdens across
lots" as it were, or on roads and in
fields where there are neither tracks
nor other possibilities for travel. AS
to the automobiles they simply sup
plement a demand for which there are
not enough horses to supply. One OF
the horse breeding associations says
that the demand for good horses was
never more urgent than now, and the
supply far below the requirements, and
that farmers are everywhere recognize
ing that the raising Of good horses is
as necessary as is that Of other live
stock. Various conditions have sur
rounded the horse trade in the past
several years which pessimistic men
said would seriously hamper this in
dustry. Among these so-called bad
features were the electric street rail-
ways, bicycles and automobiles. The
farmer who stood by the horse is now
reaping the benefits. Buyers are clam
oring for his supplies at the highest
prices in years, yet they are unable to
secure nearly the number their or
ders call for. This would indicate that
the demand has outgrown the supply.
There is every reason to believe that
the outlet for horses will continue
broad and prices will be comparatively
high, and it would seem that the farm
er who raises good class will make
no mistake"
