The First Kiss.

Where the pretty girl who edits the
Louisville Tyre got the idea is not
known when she said, the greatest
surprise to the girl who gets kissed
for the first time is that there is no
taste to it,"
However, an old bachelor in the
western part of the state roars back:
mo taste TO it? BY the great hen
feather in Cupid's dart. the girl must
be color blind in the palate. They
tell us, those who have tried it - we
haven't-that II tastes like double dis
titled essence of honey spread on
pumpkin pie. Away back in the dim
and joyful years Of long ago, before
we lost our teeth and our cinch on
the beauty prize, the prettiest girl in
all the world told US that it felt like
covey of frightened quail flying out
Of each ear and ended up with a SEN
satioH similar to that which might be
produced by a flock Of angels pouring
golden stream of molasses down
ones back. No taste to a kiss! Great
Scott: 1t would make a wooden In
dams hair surf"
The question is if the Tyre speaks
from experience, what kind of a ga
loot was it who gave her that coun-
terfeit kiss,-Modern Pilgrim.

A Remedy for White Fly.

f. d. Waite, of Palmetto. Fla. writ
ing to the Florida AgricuIturist says:
Two years ago l mentioned in my
report before the Horticultural So.
ciety that we found a tree in one of
cleaned of the sooty mold by snails.
This year they have spread to about
100 trees, and are in other groves in
our vicinity. In company with Pro-
fessor Z. II. Sellard, we made an ex-
animation of the snails and then
work. We found them on the tree
trunks, on dead and live twigs, leaves
and fruit The tree often being Clean
ed, has a bright. clean trunk and
glossy foliage as if vanished. The
snails + this work. seemed to be af-
ter their sooty mold. and leaves a deal
Of the brown and red fungi, which
preys upon the white fly.
They seemed to have eaten Of
what ever coating or sootv mold had
accumulated over these .un ii. Some
think they are destroying the scale
and white fly eggs. We do not find
any live fly pUpae on the lower part Of
the tree which We examined, but we
decided this was owing to the great
quantity of brown and red fungi pres
ent. This season has been an idea
one for spreading of these fungi, be-
ing wet from the first Of July to the
first of October.
AS the snails prey upon the vege-
table life and seems Ia take particu-
lar fancy To the sooty mold we shall
distribute them through our groves.

| for if we can. by their aid. clean our
| fruit and trees during the summer
and early fall it will save the expense
! of spraying early in the season an.
washing the fruits when gathered.
Fruit. cleaned by these snails. will
color so days earlier and make tw,

Now, the question is. if the snaiIs
can be propogated in all the white fv
districts or only near the coast on low

The Young Man Working for Wages.

When the writer WIS young man
he worked for others. 1t was hard
work, strenuous endeavor part of the
time and steady, plodding drudgery
the rest of the time AS he looks back
at il now he sees that it was all good
for him, all necessary training. And
he can stick a pin and say: Here
is where I began to rise in life"
Where, think you. was that point? 1t
was the time when he awoke and got
UP before his foreman Somehow az
ter that time things went easier, and
yet he worked the harder. But when
there came within him a compelling
force that caused him to set himself
to doing things, then life was pleas
anter and brighter, and from that day
his fortune was made.
Fortune comes, moreover, from with
in. 1t is not thing that can be
grated on. 1t comes from desire to
do things, from habit of doing them
and doing them well. 1t comes from
instinct that leads a man to desire
to do always his best work. to choose
service that brings out his best eff
forts. No man need despair of achiev-
ing the best of life if only he can blow
into a living flame the spark that
nA rLy
of DESIRE of ambition, and that flame
once kindled, if fed with patience, will
show the way little by little past all
the hard turnings.
All things have their use. The
young man working for wages needs
the toll, the drudgery. Without it he
can never know Alright how to direct
other men to do the same or similar
things. He needs the sympathy that
this toll will give to him, the SYM
pathy with those under him, sym
pathy with the toiling, grimy world
that must always be. He needs the
skill that comes from often doing a
thing. Some day he can look back
on that toll and know that it was
needful and good. The young man
working for wages should be well as
sured that his employer is watching
to see what he is doing. He may give
no sign, but every time that young
man does a task we'll, or one that he
has set himself to unasked. he is
marked up a notch in that employers
estimation. And some day it will all
tell
One might say with truth that the
young man who works for wages has
his fortune made the first time he
seeks out and sets himself unasked t.
perform a needed task, since then
there is started to develop within him
that priceless gift, to originate, to
execute. Given these the young man
is no longer a drudge; he is ready to
stand with the captains. Fortune
comes over from within.-Breeder's
Gazette.

GARDEN KEYBOARD

1t may not be amiss to mention that
the amateur gardener would achieve
better results did he not exhaust all his
enthusiasm in buying the seeds.
To prevent smut in onions start the
seeds in pans and grow them inside
until of a size that the smut cannot
penetrate.
Get the seed orders in. When the
spring comes with rush the scotsman
Is always swamped by All influx Of
orders.
Asparagus rust goes over winter on
the refuse and on the diseased stalks
cut or left uncut because unfit for mar
keting. Profit by this hint another sea-
son If you have to fight rust this year.
Decide what you will grow. Get seed
early and test before planting.
Try to inspect AL the garden tools
aud hotbed sash and get them ready
for the busy time.
Cabbage and caullfiower may now
be started in the greenhouse and trans
ferred to cold frames later.
Plan for Succession Of work rather
than for those crops that will require
much attention all at the same time.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1906-03-09

insects.
Beginning with the advent or sprtnf
there are few places so interesting as
the hardy flower garden. The annual

plants have to be planted before they
can be enjoyed.
IL a gardener has not experimental
with his soil so as to know to what
fertilizing elements It really needs he
must use a formula. and one carrying
about 3 to 31a per cent nitrogen, 8 to {
per cent available phosphoric acid and
4 to per cent potash will usually bt
found as profitable as any.
Sow Prizstaker onions indoors, to BE-
transplanted to the garden In May.
II seeds are planted In dry soil or In
soil that is less moist than the seeds the
drier soil will extract the moisture
from the seed and retard development.
The radish is one of the fayorite ear
iy spring vegetables, and 1t Is one OF
easy cultivation. We naturally look
forward to this as the one very early.
II not the first, that we are to grow to
maturity, either In the frame or outside

For success with parsnips use fresh
seed, plant very early and quite thick
and thin out the seedlings 30 SIX to

operator. Hotbeds are sometimes start
ed as early as January, or they may
be delayed until In March.
There are various methods OF con-
struction, from the excavation or pit,
two or more feet In depth, walled up
with brick or planks, to the simple box
set above ground and tilted on one
side for the slant to the sash.
Where hotbed frames are set on top
of pile of fermenting manure the ma
nure should extend beyond the edges
of the frame, otherwise the frame may
become too cold about the outside and
the plants suffer. 1t is generally pref
cradle to have pit beneath the frame,
In which the manure is placed.
Baily advises to first put in a layer
Of an inch or two of any coarse ma
terial and upon this from twelve to
thirty inches of manure. The earlier
the bed is made the larger should be
the amount OF manure. Hotbeds in
tended to hold for two months should
have about two feet of manure as a
rule. The manure should be put into
the pit In layers four to eight inches
thick, each layer being thoroughly trod-
den down before another is put in.
Manure that has Just the right amount
Of straw in it will give springy feel
to the feet as person walks over 1t,
but 1t will not fluff up when the pres
sure is removed Above the manure
may be a thin layer Of leaf mold or
some porous material that will serve
to distribute the heat, and above this
are four or five inches of soft garden
loan, in which the plants are to be
grown.

alarmed the 1000 inhabitants, in time
to make their escape. One fisherman
was killed. About 200 feet of rock
and the houses on 1t were swallowed
up by the lake.
