Plague Of FleaS.

Philadelphia is tormented with a
plague of tleas. The insects have come,
true to the warning of the department
of agriculture. which has found that diff
ferent sections of the state are being set
upon almost simultaneously by the pests.
While the overpopulated slum districts
suffer particularly, they do not suffer
alone. The flea loves blue blood, and
he has descended upon the fashionable
residential sections in full force. Beside
this new plague, that of mosquitoes still
unchecked is as nothing.
Because of the fea's sturdy physique
the problem of his determination is a
serious one. He SCOTS at the incense of

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins n child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit TO bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like tircbrand
upOn the nerves. consequently nine
tenthS of the nervous proStration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restleSsneSS. alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute You feel

Do you feel something like ball ris-

Winter " heat.

The Importance of the winter wheat
crop becomes more apparent when we
consider that the annual production of
the country is from 100000 to 49,
OOO0Oo bushels greater than the annual
yield of spring wheat. and that about
twenty-fOur states and territories grow
winter wheat exclusively, while only
eleven grow spring wheat, and eight
produce both crops together Some of
the advantages in growing winter
wheat over raising spring wheat are Il
more convenient distribution of farm
work the conservation of soil fertil-
ity by the growing crop during the time
the land would otherwise lie bare: Il
better development Of the crop, as ii
generally natures before the dry and
hot weather of summer. and the pro
duction usually Of heavier yields. The
average Yields per acre in the states
growing winter wheat only are not
generally as large as in the states pro-
ducing spring wheat exclusively. but
the better Yields. as 4 rule. in the re-
gicns where both crops are grown are
obtained from winter wheat-Ameri-

Make an Asparagus Bed.

Here is a reminder from one who
evidently appreciates the good things
every farmer may have in his garden.
He advises everyone TO make an as
paragus bed, and says very truly it is
easily and quickly done. Asparagus
needs a rich, mellow, warm soil. Ma
nure the ground thoroughly with well
rotted stable manure. Pillow eight to
ten inches deep or deeper. Plant in a
long row. Pulyerize thoroughly with
disk and harrow. Secure a hundred .
year-old plants at Il cost Of from 90
cents to 81. Open row with pillow or
q cultivator. Set plants two feet apart
in row with crown three inches below
surface. Press soil firmly about plants,
fill up the row and cultivate same as
corn or beans, and next year you will
have an abundance of delicious and
healthful food, and the same will con
tinue for years if you keep free from
weeds and add each year fresh sup
ply Of farm fertilizer.

alue of u Siio.

1t is very important to provide some
means by which the dairy COW can be
supplied with good food at all seasons
Of the year in order that she may yield
milk most economically. Such medium
may be found in the silo which fur
nishes a place for the storing Of food
il the form of silage. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the nearest an ideal
food that can be obtained for the dairy
COW is good pasture; but for several
months in the year green pasture is
not available. At such times the best
substitute are corn silage and such
roots as mangels and turnips. Corn
yields an average of twice as much
dry matter per acre as root crops; and
since the latter involve much more la
bor and greater expense, silage is far
more economical

When the manure is not decomposed
in the heap it must be decomposed in
the soil before the plants can utilize it
as a food, and the sooner the manure is
spread the better it will be for the crop
AS it is difficult to spread manure on
plowed ground, owing to the labor
of hauling over the rough, soft ground,
the method practiced by those who

Recs and smoking.

Many times bees are smoked moro
than is necessary: perhaps, because not
every one knows that during a nectar
flow some honey is lost every time q
hive is opened. says Farming. When
bees are smoked they fill themselves
with honey ana if 50 much smoke is
used that most Of the bees in the hive
at that time take honey. it will be
more than an hour before it is redepos-
tied into the cells and the regular work
resumed. Bees sometimes gather nee
tar enough to make a pound of honey
an hour, so one can see that it would
be quite a loss if every colony in Il

to interrupt the work for one hour

Superiority of the Mule.

The mule is less nervous than the
horse and therefore loses less energy in
useless fretting In fact, one Of the
chief characteristics Of the mule IS his
ability to take care of himself under
all circumstances, says Farming. Much
OF the apparent Sinking which is
charged against the mule is an Unborn
tendency to husband his strength and
make every effort count. The result
Of this instructive care on the part Of
the mule is that he is able to turn out
more work than would be possible for
a horse Of the same weight under the
same conditions. The mule Instructive
lily avoids holes, sharp obstacles, barbed
wire fences and various other forms Of
danger which are not so successfully
avoided by horses. It is a matter Of
common observation that in instances
where mules run away they seldom in
iure themselves to any serious extent
