Rose beetles appear some time In
June and in sandy localities are liable
to cause very serious injury. 1t is diff
cult to destroy these insects either with
poison or whale oil soap solution
and, as a rule it would pay TO shield
more highly priced plants by covering
them with mosquito netting.
The striped cucumber beetle and thu
nauseous squash bug begin operations
about this time. Young plants can b,
protected for d while from both witt
light screens. Trap the squash bug un
der shingles laid near the plants. and
kill the bugs each morning The striped
cucumber beetle is held in check b,
spraying with poisoned Bordeaux
mixture or even busting heavily witt
land plaster or ashes.
The asparagus beetles and thet
grubs are frequently abundant at tht
time and young plants at least Shout,
be thoroughly protected with a poisone,
spray.
The young of two Of our commo,
scale insects, the scurfy scale and oys
ter scale, appear the latter part of Ma,
or early In June, and there is no bette
way of keeping them in check than b,
thorough spraying at this time with al
insecticide like the whale oil soap so
luton, one pound to five or six galloni
of water, or the standard kerosene
diluted with about nine Dgrts
of water.

ALTON is HEAVILY FINED.

Railroad and Two Former Officials
Must Pay 100000.
Judge Lands at Chicago passed SEN
tence on the Chicago & Alton Railroad
and two former officials of the road in
the case charging the granting of re-
bates. A total of 100000 in fines was
imposed. The defendants were found
guilty under the Elkins law. The SEN
tence was as follows;
Chicago and Alton railroad, $4,000,
$4,000 on each of two counts.
John n. Faithorn, former vice presi-
dent, $4,000, $1,000 on each of two
counts.
Fred A. Wann, former freight agent,
$4,000, $1,000 on each of two counts.
Judge Lands declared he saw no ex-
tenuating circumstances in the case,
and in passing sentence the judge said ::
"a jury has rendered a verdict. and
from it l see no escape. Counsel has
talked about this being open and no
tOrious in Kansas City. but there is not
fact before me that this was not a Sc
cret rebate. The Elllins law was
passed in 1903. There was considerable
agitation concerning its passage. l Go
not forget that railroad men and ship
pers gave close and diligent attention
to that law and any man interested in
the general situation would have had
no trouble in finding out about the law
These offenses took place one year after
the law was passed. I will say there
are not many facts in this case In sup
port of the arguments, that this is not
case for substantial punishment"

ROADS TO QUIT GRAIN TRADE,
New Railway Rate Law to Have Bi
Effect on the business.

New Railway Rate Law to Have Big
Effect on the Business.
What effect will the new railroad law
have upon the price of this years grain
and upon it's marketing? This question
is perpleXing some of the best lawyers
who have been consulted by railroads
tapping the Western grain fields, which
during past seasons have purchased
large quantities of grain and placed it
in warehouses which they own or con-
troll to be marketed at their pleasure
Under the new law railroads are pro-
hbited from engaging in business in
competition with their patrons. 1t is
Commission that the Missouri Pacific
and other cases demonstrate the fOun-
dation for the assertions of Senator
La Toilette that railroads have been
controlling the grain-buying business.
This must stop, the officials say, and
under the new law the grain business
must be changed materially. The rail
roads may own elevators, but it is held
they cannot buy and store grain. They
may place the grain of patrons in the
elevators and may include in their bill
an item to cover this service.
The effect of the enforcement Of the
new law upon the grain business is I'M
certain, but the officials have no doubt
that the railroads must cease to have
any pecuniary interest in the grain
which is shipped over their lines.

Right Kind of Diplomas.

Several Chicago young women re-
ceived the other day the kind of diplo-
mas which husbands would like to see
hanging in conspicuous place on the
kitchen wall The diplomas certify
that the girls are qualified to keep
house for men receiving ten dollars a
week. The graduating essays consist
ed of exhibits of breakfasts, luncheons
and dinners. Each dish bore a label
announcing its cost. One girl showed
Il breakfast for four prepared for nine
teen cents. and another had produced
dinner for the same number, consist
ing of meat, two vegetables, a salad and
Il pudding, at total cost of only forty
cents, or ten cents a person. The best
proof of the success of the course of
instruction lies in the fact that the
girls who received the diplomas are
about to marry and practice what they
have learned.-Youth's Companion.

Dehornfng Yovng Calyes

The dehorning operation may be east
ly and painlessly performed when the
calves are from two to five days old.
The only instrument necessary is q
stick of caustic potash.
Roll a strip of paper around one enc
of this to protect the fingers, moisten
the other end slightly and rub the tip of
the horn for half minute, or until
the potash has made slight impression
In the center of the horn. Repeat this
treatment two or four times at inter-
walls of about five minutes, and IL DUR
ing ore of these intervals, after one or
more applications, little blood appears
in the center of the horn, it will be nee
essary to give only another very light
rubbing with the potash. Particular
pains should be taken to rub the caustic
in the center of the horn and not
around the sides of it, and the stick
must not be too moist, else the caustid
will spread on the skin around the horn
and destroy the flesh.
For the same reason the calf must
not be allowed to get wet for few days
after the operation, and the wound pro-
tected so the mother will not lick it.
The operation should not be attempted
except on calves under eight days old

How n Queen Proposed.

Reigning queens, by the rules of Ell
quette, must make the proposal of mar
riage to their consorts elect. As a
young woman the late Queen Victoria
of England was embarrassed at the
prospect of proposing to Prince Albert
This is how she arranged matters: She
summoned Albert to her boudoir, where
he found her alone. After some desul.
tory talk due to her shyness, she sud
denly said:
Gould you forsake your country 70,
me?"
The prince answered by clasping bel
in his arms.

PHTHISiS In FRANCE
Consular Clerk Reports 100000
Victims n Year.

Startling statistics of the extent of
tuberculosis in France are contained IN
a report rendered 10 the bureau of man
ufactures, Department of Commerce
and Labor, by Consular Clerk Augustus
E. Ingram, at Paris.
Official statistics discussed by the
Academy of Medicine in the French
capital. Mr.. Ingram states, show that
lot, 900 persons die of tuberculosis in
France every year. representing thirty
nine deaths to each 10000 inhabitants
In Germany the rate is only twenty
two deaths from tuberculosis to every
10000 Inhabitants, but chronic bron-
chitis is counted as tuberculosis in
France, and not in Germany. The cases
Of chronic bronchitis listed as tuber-
culosis are estimated at 10000. Mr.
Ingram says in part:
Prof. LandouZy's investigations
among policemen and postal employees,
both of whom have also very insanitary
offices-indeed, the public complaints
against the impure air in poStoffices in
Paris are most frequent-and also
among laundry workers. have revealed
a disastrous condition of affairs. Also
among PAT workmen carefully kept IN
der observation by Pro. Landouzy, con-
sisting of carpenters, jOiners, floor lay
ars and packers, all living under prac-
tically the same conditions, the mortal
ity from tuberculosis amounted to more
than 80 per cent
Laundry workers, however, were
found to be the most seriously affected.
From statistics made at Billancourt,
BouIogne-sur- Seine, and certain dis
tricts in the neighborhood of Paris
where laundries abound, the mortality
from tuberculosis reached the alarm
ing total of 10 per cent.
1.-THE Paris bakers p few days ago
formed an organization for the i'm
provement of insanitary conditions I'M
der which they have to work. 1t is
stated authoritatiyely that despite the
governmental inspection of bakeries
and the most modern hygienic apppar-
atus, out of 100000 bakers in Paris,
240.000 suffer with tuberculosis"
