THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE.
suggestion as to Effective Method of
Preventing Injury =
Plants.

The only effective way to prevent
injuries to asparagus by asparagus
beetle larvae is to destroy the eggs
before they hatch, says the Orange
(Ind.) Farmer. The first eggs are
laid on the young shoots; later on
the grown plant. They are black,
about 1-16 inch long and set nearly
at right angles to the stem; so,
though small, they are fairly conspic-
uous. In a few days they hatch into
Shiny, greenish slug. with black
heads, legs and dots on the body
The simplest way to manage is to
leave few inferior shoots for the
females to lay eggs on. When four
or five days old these shoots must
be cut and burned and others allowed
to replace them. To simplify this
cutting and to reduce to a minimum,
the chance Of missing any plants,
those, allowed to remain should be
all In certain parts of the field on
certain days. The field should be di-
vided into four or three equal parts,
depending on the frequency of cut
ting. At the first cutting the trap
plants should be left in the first Sec
ton and so on. In each other section
every punky stalk should be cut with
the marketable ones and burned.
Every trap plant in any section must
be cut on the fourth or fifth day and
the plan continued through the cut
ting season. This will completely
protect the field from late attack and
reduce possible infestation the next
season, provided no asparagus is al
lowed to grow in fence rows and
waste places and provided neighbors
are as careful.

There are some economic advantages
to well-shaded roadside. To a more or
adjoining field; there is a hindrance to
the use Of the moving machine in keep
ing down grass and weeds; in the spring
the shade from the trees, even though
there are no leaves, tends to hold the
frost in the soil little longer, and thus
cause the settling of the roadbed, and
there are doubtless other arguments,
says the Prairie Farmer, that may be

urged against the timbered, shady road
side.
Nevertheless, after all is said there
are few people who do not like to ride
along the shady roadway; it is always
admired; few farmers are willing that
full grown, thrifty trees should De
sacrificed. and not infreQuently the
farm itself will command a better price
per acre simply because the prospective
purchaser is pleased and delighted with
the stately, comfortable and wholesome
feeling that the shady roadside gives to
the farm
A type of the shady roadside is shown
In our illustration. The trees are pines,
but pines need not be used unless de-
sired. They are frequently admired be-
cause of their evergreen appearance.
The oak and the elm are often much adj
mired, and may be grown successfully
In almost any northern climate.

In the south they are laid on the edges
of leaves, frequently, row on each
surface, says the Ohio Farmer. The in
sect has two generations in the south
When the eggs are laid, the surface OF the
twig is first roughened by the jaws. The
eggs are then laid, one after another, the
successive ones being pushed for a
short distance in under the preceding.
The number laid by each female varies
from 100 to $50. In the spring the egg
splits along the top and the young
katydid emerges, very pale in color

the song of the katydid, says the night

MOTHERS OF DAWSON.

Are Your Children Thin, Puny and
Ailing? IfSo Read This.
"Vinol will make children strong,
robust and rosy, or we return your
money"
Is there mother in Dawson who
will ignore such a generous offer as
this? You risk not one cent. We
pay for all the Vinol your child takes
if it does no good.
There are plenty of children all
around US who are thin, puny, ailing
and tired all the time. Don't want to
do this and don't want to do that.
Do not blame the children; they have
no strength, no blood. no vitality;
rapid growth takes all their strength.
Vlnol is just what your child needs.
It is a delicious cod liver oil prepara-
ton, and children love it. 1t creates
strength, makes rich, red blood and
vitality as nothing else can, and
after a severe sickness there is moth
ing that will build your child up like
Vinol.
The following letter is only one of
hundreds which we have received from
mothers telling what Nlnol mas done
for their children.
Mrs. E. NJ. Oswald of Mansfield,
Ohio, writes: "My little daughter
became so poorly that was obliged to
take her from school. She was thin,
no appetite, tired all the time and
weak. We had tried several medi-
cines without benefit. Since taking
Vinol, however, she is as we'll as
ever; she has gained in flesh, has
rosy cheeks and good appetite, and is
going to school every day."
We want to say to every mother in
Dawson that Vinol will build your
little ones up into strong, robust,
healthy children. We have never
sold anything to equal it in our
store for this purpose, and we will
return your money if it fails. PEG
