Stored Products Preyed Upon.

While mention has been made of the
lamage done to vegetable products dur
ing the growing and maturing season
these crops after they have run the
gauntlet of insect enemies during their
entire period OF growth, are still sub
ject to the inroads Of insect depreda-
tors while in storage on the farm, in
elevators and mills, or again while in
transit especially in the case of long
shipments by sea- Food products in
the kitchen and house-storeroom suf-
fer from insect damage. Animal pro-
ducts are attacked by larder beetles
ETC., fruits by various fruit and vine
gar flies and the woolens and house
hold furnishings by beetles, moths
silver fish, etc. Cured tobacco is es-
pecially subject to insect attacks and
damage, the most important source OF
injury being minute insect known as
the cigarette beetle which not only
eats into cigarettes but all other forms
of cured tobacco. While an estimate
OF $1O0,O00,000 a year is placed upon
the damage done to the store products,
this does not include the destruction to
products in the household or to tobacco.
A very considerable item which
might be chargeable to insects and yet
which cannot be estimated is that of
preventing insect damage No one can
estimate how much is expended on
wire screens for the household to pre-
vent the ingresS of flies, mosquitoes
and moths. nor can an estimate be
placed upon the amount of money ex-
pended to eradicate mosquitoes, but it
is believed that the estimate of $780,
600, 900 made by the officials of the
of Agriculture is far below
the actual annual loss. The problem
the economic entomologist of the fu-
ture must solve is the lessening or pre-
vention of this loss.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-01-20

The principal culprits are the ox-war-
BILE, and various biting flies and ticks.
Horses, sheep and other farm animals
are subject to attacks of similar para
sites and other insect enemies. If all
these be considered including, for ex-
ample, the buffalo gnats, often very
destructive in the South, the many
gadflies, BOTTLES, the screw-worm fly,
and such parasites as the ticks and lice,
a heavy percentage of loss must be
reckoned. A conservative estimate of
the Department of Agriculture of these
losses is $175.000.000 a year.

ice presses toward the center and not
against the walls; ventilation above
and drainage beneath.

Controlling Hog Cholera

The necessary precautions should
be taken in the early part of hog
cholera outbreak in order to prevent
a general infection of the hogs in the
neighborhood. The diseased herd or
herds should be quardntined and all
possible ways in which the germs can
be distributed by people, dogs, stray
hcgs, ETC., carefully guarded against
Two very important factors in the
prevalence Of hog cholera are, the lit
tie interest taken by some swine rails
ers in the health of the herds and the
neglect of necessary precautions for
preventing the spread of infection to
neighboring herds. 1t is advisable,
then, to place hog cholera under state
and federal control and use police san
itary measures in the control of this
disease
At the beginning of hog cholera
outbreak it is best to move the herd
into new yards. The yards should be
large enough to prevent crowding, as
in crowded quarters the opportunity
for infection is greater and additional
care is required in order to keep the
surroundings in sanitary condition.
Sufficient shelter is necessary, for eX-
posure to the hot rays of the sun,
storms, chilling winds, etc, tends to
lower the vitality of the sick animals
The very sick hogs Should be removed
from the herd and given separate
yards, or destroyed. However, the
necessity of using this latter precau-
tion depends on the number of hogs
that are sick and may not be practi-
cal when a. large per cent of the herd
becomes diseased
The tar disinfectant should be used
daily about the feed troughs, floors,
sleeping quarters, etc. No less than
2 per cent water solution of the
disinfectant should be used and every
week, if the weather permits, the hogs
should be dipped or scraped with
one per cent solution.
The hogs should not be fed on the
ground, or allowed to drink surface
water. A sloppy diet of shorts, bran
and corn or oat meal is best for the
sick and exposed animals. The water
and slop must not be left in the
troughs for the hogs to wallow in, and
in order to lessen the opportunity for
infection through the food, powdered
copper sulphate should be added to
the slop and drinking water in the

lands. Such locations are also prefer
able because good drainage is as
sured. Soil need not be evtraordin-
arily rich in notrogen and humus for
fruit trees. as it will force their
growth too rapidly. After planting,
the soil should be pressed firmly over
the roots and the mulch of manure or
other fertilizer placed around them.

A small beginning.
 And, in nine cases out of Ql/. ten that small beginning is made in the Bowels.
 Indigestion is the beginning of most diseases.
 It paves the way for all others.
 Lack of exercise, hasty eating, improper food, are its first causes.
 Laziness, and postponement, permits it to grow into Chronic Constipation, which means lifelong Discomfort.
 It isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you know, in order to- be mighty uncom- fortable.
 Even slight indigestion affects the nerves, dulls the mind and obscures the merry sunshine of Life.
 And, Indigestion once started, grows fast corrodes temperament, and discounts happiness, good cheer, capacity.
 It does that long before it puts you on the Sick list.
 Every thinking Doctor knows why.
 Professor Rand knew it.
 That's why he framed up for students his famous formula for Happiness, viz.: "Trust in God, and keep your Bowels open." The Bowels need adjustment from time to time, just like clock, or watch.
 No Good time" is humanly possible without this.
 And the time to adjust the watch is not when it has run down, nor when the main spring is broken, but at the very minute adjustments discovered necessary. The time to adjust the Bowels is not merely when your Head Aches, when yodr Liver is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt, and Natures Food Process retarded for 24 hours or longer. t.
 The proper time 10 adjust them is the very minute you suspect they need adjust ment. l o. Il

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
 with Artificial Exercise

If your tongue is slightly coated.
 If your breath is under suspicion,
 If your Head feels a trifle heavy or dull,
 If digestion seems even little slow,
 If Heartburn, Belching, Collie or Restlessness begin to show themselves.
 That's the time to eat a Cascaret.
 Don't imagine the Cascaret is ineffac- tive because it is pleasant to eat as Candy.
 It acts as pleasantly as it tastes. It is as congenial to your Bowels as it is to your Palate.
 It is not "Bile-driver which floods out your stomach today with fluid juices needed for tomorrow
 But, it acts like Exercise, instead.
 It stimulates the muscular lining of the Bowels and ntestines so that they mechan- ically digest food and drive out the waste.

 The only way to have them ready :o use precisely when you need them is to carry them constantly in your pocket as you do Watch or Lead pencil.
