Roots for sheep.

Turnips and rutabagas are probably
the best roots for sheep. Breeding
sheep, and especially lambs, should be
fed largely upon them Instead of grain.
This is view held by the best shep-
herds. The view is probably correct
and the practice might well be inaugu-
rated by sheepmen. The purple-top-
ped, strap-leafed turnips have general
ly given best results. They should be
sown somewhat thick, and thinned to
four to six inches In row. The thin
ming can best be done when the drills
are made upon ridges provided for the
purpose. With these crops should be
drilled either a bit of turnip or radiSh
seed. This will permit earlier cultiva-
ton, because these seeds come up
earlier than the mangels or carrots and
thus outline the row. The mammoth
Long Red and Golden Tankard man
gels and the Mastodon carrots are
standard varieties.

Insects on Grass.

Numerous inquiries have come into
the office of the Rhode Island Expert
ment Station regarding the cause of
the frothy masses on grass and other
herbaceous plants and on shrubs and
trees. Popularity this has been ascrib-
ed to frogs and snakes and named eli
ther frog or snake spittle, as the case
might be. In fact, it is due to small
insect belonging to the Hemiptcra or
true bugs, which live inside the frothy
ed spittle insects for obvious reasons,
and also frog hoppers, becaue Of their
connection with the frothy mass which
was formerly known as frog spittle, or
because in their broad, squatty APP
pearance when mature, they resemble
frogs to some extent 1t is not known
exactly how the frothy mass is pro
duced, but 1t is supposed that the in
sect pumps the sap out Of the plants,
and in passing it through the alimen-
tary canal mixes air with it to form
small air bubbles. There are quite a
number of species found at the present
time, some living on grass, Others on
shrubs, and also on trees, both ever
green and deciduous. Most of the spo-
cies have their early or nymph stage
entirely within the protection of the
frothy mass. When adult, however
they are found outside in the open air

THE CHEESECLOTH BAR.
The Only Sure Protection from Insects
in an Open Tent

If you expect to keep your camp free
from insects. says Suburban Life. you
will be disappointed. Mosquito netting
is a delusion and a snare. 1t will keep
out the larger mosquitoes and flies. but
the others viii walk through it.
Cheesecloth is your only safety. With
a bar made of this material, wider and
longer than your bed and about s.. rec
feet high, you are perfectly safe from
the attacks Of II insects at night, pro-
vided the edges of the bar are tucked
under the pillow and bedding. II a cot
is used, the bar may be made long
enough to rest on the floor or ground.
Those who prefer to try keeping the
tent clear Of insects by making a smudgo
or burning insect powder each night to
clear them ont and then closing up the
tent. are welcome to try it. but give me
an open tent and the cheesccloth bar.

SLAUGHTER BY ROAD AGENTS.
Mysterious Disappearance of Miners in
Early Days of Montana.

The discovery up to the fall of 1863 of
no less than 10 bodies of victims of the
road agents had finally aroused the feel
ings of the law abiding citizens to pitcn
of frenzy. They felt that the mysterious
disappearance of many other men whom
they had known was to be traced to the
bandits.
Scores of miners who had set out with
large sums of money for various places
had never been heard of and had never
reached their destinations. Murders oc-
cured daily, almost hourly. Had there
been the most perfect system of legal
procedure time would not have permitted
of the orderly trial of offenders, so fire.

tinued to diSgOrge its treasure in Il steady
stream, and the very excess of its bounty
excited the most selfish passions of men.
The heart of man possessed with the
thirst for gold is like the country where
gold is produced-it is wild ana barren,
and the flowers wither.
1t must not be supposed that during
these long months of sickening dread
and doubt attempts had not been made
to organize justice. Rude courts were eS-
tabished and the guilt or innocence of
offenders submitted to regular chosen
juries. but tho staggering outlaws would
boldly force their way through the lin IS
of spectators and into the presence of
the qualified twelve men, announcing
their determination to avenge upon every
one connected with the case, any out
come other than acquittal.
Witnesses and jurors under these cir
cumstances were afraid for their lives,
and justice had miscarred until the out
laws. seeing the blanch of fear every
where We're supreme. In the early stages
of this reign of terror some of the road
agents had been tried. found guilty and
condemned to death by unanimous vote,

SALlOW FACES

often Caused by Coffee Drinking.
How many persons realize that rof-
fee so disturbs digestion that it pro-
duces a muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial of Postum Food Cof-
fee has proven means, in thousands
of cases. of clearing up bad complex
ions.
A Washington young lady tells her
experience:
'All of us-father, mother, sister and
brother-had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had
stomach troubles more or less.
1--WE were all salow and troubled
with pmples, breath bad disagreeaole
taste in the mouth, and all of us simply
so many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
some from a neighbor. She gave us
some Postum and told us to try that.
although we started to make it. we
all felt sure we would lie sick If we
missed our strong coffee, but we were
forced to try Postum and were sur
prised to find it delicious.
1--WE read the statements on the pkg,
got more, and In n month and half
YOU wouldn't have known us. We were
all able to digest our food without any

To Combat Cabbngc Mncwots.

For cabbage maggOt use lime or wood
ashes, or both mixed, sprinkling them
over the soil and plants. But Il new
remedy used last year was made from
very strong soapsuds, to which was
added one pint Of crude carbolic acid
to a gallon of the boiling suds, and
the mixture made into an emulsion by
shaking Il together in tightly covered
pail. Take this emulsion and add to
thirty times its bulk of water, and use
freely around the plants. OF course
this remedy would not be practical Oh
a very large area, but for those who
raise only few cabbages it seems to
be the best plan there Is. The large
growers do not bother much with rene
dies. but rely on using fresh ground
about every year to prevent attack by
such pests.
