Pull I'D Old Stalks.

In the cabbage patch after the crop
has been gathered the stumps which
have sprouted out will be found in
times gathered into piles. The
sprouts furnish ample food for the
bugs during the balance of the sea-
son, and form snug quarters in which
the winter is safely passed. In these
stumps or piles may be found the
chrysalids of all the common cabbage
caterpillars and the adult harlequin
bugs so injurious in the South. Had
the stumps been uprooted and piled
as soon as the crop was gathered all
of these pests would have assembled
upon the piles, which might then
have been destroyed in the fall or
early spring and thus caught the
greater part of the insects.
The same principles apply to most
of the pests of melons, cucumbers
and squashes. Both the squash bug
and striped cucumber beetle hiber-
nate under the old vines and other
rubbish always found in the melon
patch, where they feed and breed un-
molested until frost. Rake up the
vines and burn them soon after the
crop is gathered.
Standing cornstalks, so commonly
seen in the Middle States, form an
ideal winter home for all the insect
enemies of corn and other crops. The
cornstalk borer passes the winter in
it's cell in the crown of the plant and
underneath the bases of the leaves
and in the hollow stalk are chinch
bugs and other corn insects. Many
now testify that where they have
plowed out, raked up and burned the
corn stubble they had been compare
lively immune from many of these
pests which seriously injured neigh
boring crops.-Indianapo News.

Use Natures Pumps.

Watering an orchard is a much
larger operation than the average or
chardist cares to undertake, unless
one has a system of piping attached
to an adequate water source. And
yet we may water the trees, either
old or young, or the vegetables, by
means of countless little invisible
pumps that we may put in operation
with the plow and the harrow.
There is always moisture in the
earth, and far beneath the surface ii
is full of water, and this water has q
tendency to rise to the surface all the
time and to dampen things at the
top. But, when there is a drought
and the surface becomes baked and
hard, the rising process is greatly re-
tarded, if not entirely suspended,
and then it is that vegetation and
trees suffer-the many little pumps
are clogged and fail to work, foI
there is nothing to climb and nothing
to invite tie expansion of the water
from below, up near the surface.
But if we are timely and apply the
plow, and can turn and loosen the
earth on top, and will then OCCASION
ally pass the harrow through it, we
may keep all the air and water cells
open in the top soil, and the moisture
will then come up again. n.--Indianap-

Hogs Fattened at Homo.

The last excuse for depending
upon Packingtown Cor hogs and hog
meat, even If it be free from cholera
germs, has been taken away. Intelli-
gent feeders in Texas find that cot
tonseed meal is excellent for hogs.
Instead of poisoning, it fattens them.
Hogs have been made ready for mar
ket through the use of cottonseed
meal two years, and the meal is COM
ing into general use as a recognized
part of the hog ration in that State.
What is good for hogs in Texas must
be good for hogs in Alabama.
The excuse for neglecting to pro-
duce sufficiency of meat at home
has been the alleged want of corn
lands. This pretense is brushed
aside when every farmer grows an
abundance of excellent hog food in
his cotton patch. Let no one say
hereafter in this State that he cannot
afford to make his own meat. He
certainly can afford to do so. He will
assuredly be accounted shiftless and
unenterprising If he does not, when
the food needed by the hogs is ever
at hand. The Texas experiments are
convincing and satisfactory, and all
who can command a supply of cot
tonseed meal can and should fatten
in the home markets. Possibly the
corn-fed hogs can be driven out alto

Errors About the White House,

To the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that It was
in your columns---an article on the
White House which contained several
mis-statements.
In the first place IL was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909, and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun
In 1892. In 1914 it was burned by
the British and rebuilt In 1918.
Another of the errors in the arti-
Gle referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House TO make II beautifully
white.
] noticed this especially because
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building, when allpainters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
II so happened also that knew
white lead and linseed oil not
ready-mixed paint-were used on the
White House, because | had Just read
a booklet published by a firm of
ready-mixed paint manufacturers,
who also manufacture pure white
lead. In that book the marufactur-
ers admitted that for the White
House nothing but "the best and
purest of paint could be used" and
said that their pure white lead had
been selected.
Above all people those who at
tempt to write on historical subjects
should give us facts, even if it is
only a date or a statement about
wood, or brick, or paint, or other
building material. Yours for truth,

Road Building a Science.

Everyone should be an advocate
of good roads. The farmer who has
his produce to market could haul
larger loads and would also be able
to do much of his teaming and rum
ming to town when the ground is too
wet for general farming thus never
losing a good day in the field. With
good roads, riding for pleasure
would be delight rather than a
source Of discomfort.
There is feeling among some
that good roads are for the owners
OF automobiles and other land
crafts" but this is a grave mistake
as ninety per cent of the travel on
our public highways is in line of bus.

rural mail delivery depends largely
upon the condition of the roads and
routes are laid out along the best
highways, with the same idea that
prevails in cities where the mail car.
riers do not have to deliver mail on
streets having no sidewalks. Then.
too, land values are increased by i'm.

is not enterprise enough to secure
good roads? So long as the tax is

Keen the Grounds Clean.

There is entirely too much of the
so-called hind sight" and far too
little foresight in our warfare against
the bugs. When in midsummer
we suddenly find crop being de-
stroyed by hundreds of hungry cat
erpillars or beetles, we wonder where
they came from and proceed to COM
bat them when they have already
partially ruined the crop. One of
the worst contributary causes is the
neglect to clear out the remains of
the gathered crops leaving the
stumps, stubble or vines lying in the
garden where they grew, or in piles,
serenely Indifferent to the fact that
our insect ene-'ies are thriving and
increasing upon them.
There are many simple methods of
effectually checking the increase OF
these insects and thus obviating the
necessity for expensive remedial
measures. In warfare against in
sects as against disease, we need
more hygiene and less remedial
treatment.

Strawberry Planting.

If you do not have a strawberry
bed in your garden and want one this
is a good time to start it, provided
you plant pot-grown plants.
These pot-grown plants are rum
ners which were rooted in pots early
in the season.
You could not use at this season
plants which had not been pot-grown
because the pots would be so badly
damaged in transplanting that they
could not furnish the plant with the
amount of water which 1t would de-
mand. That kind of plant, known as
layer plants" may be set out in
September, but they would not give
you any fruit next spring under or
binary cultivation, while pot-grown
plants set out in August will bear
next spring.
In a bed ten by twenty feet one
may grow 100 plants. If the soil is a
heavy clay thoroughly work into it
a dressing several inches in thickness
of coal ashes and half ton of man
ure, before setting the plants. AS
soon as the ground freezes spread
another half ton of manure over the
bed as mulch.
The following spring as soon as
the first leaves show above, the mulch
pull the manure away from the
crowns of the plants ard work It into
the sell. Such bed will bear more
strawberries than family of three
can eat fresh. h.--Indianapolis News. !.

1t is of utmost Importance that the

pure, though it seems there are many

that is wholly unfit for man or beast

serve your health and that of your
family you should see to it that your

pecially milch cows, will show the ef-

Rull In JournaIism.

OF a well-known reporter of a past
generation many curiosities of style
are still repeated with zest by Dub
lin journalists. 1t was this man who
explained, describing a case of
drowning off Dalkey: THE body

he wrote: THE burglar was sur

Escape was impossible. Suddenly
he made his way down a cul-de-sac

this impressionist writer, however,
relates to Mr.. Gladstone. On the
Grand Old Mans one and only visit
to Dublin he was interviewed by
the eccentric press man. Mr.. Glad

Origin OF Poodle.

Why is d. poodle so called? Some
one says: Probably the natural
answer would recall the old lady
who said that no credit could be
given to Adam for naming the pig,
since anybody would have known
what to call it. Poodle seems so
obvious a name for this dog. And
in fact, this is not far from the
truth about the origin of the word.
1t is quite recent in English, not be-
ing found before 1864, apparently.
1t is the German 'pudel,' which comes
from the low German, pudelin,' to
waddle, and the dog must have been
so called, as Skeat says, either be-
cause he waddles after his master
or because he looks fat and clumsy
on account of his thick hair. Chi

The Highest Clouds.

During the past year a committee
appointed by the Carnegie Institu
ton at Washington has been engaged
in measuring the height of clouds
with the aid of photography. ST.
multaneous pictures of cloud are
made by two cameras placed 600
feet apart and connected by tele-
graph wries. From the amount of
displacement of the cloud, caused by
veiwing it alternately from each end
of the 600-feet base line, its height
can be calculated. Some of the
"mackeral-sky" clouds photographed
were seven and a quarter miles high.
The loftiest clouds whose elevation
was thus measured belonged to the
type known as cirrus, or "curl cloud"
the height being little more than
II miles.

Ancient Sinai.

DR.. Petrie tells of the various eX-
petitions sent to Sinai by the Egyp-
tian government. At the head of
the party was the commander" or
bearer of the seal of the god," the
Pharaoh. The official staff consisted
of masters of the house of metals"
or assayers, scribes and secretaries,
to make inventories of the output of
the mines
