DOCTORS MESTHKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their caSy-gOing or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, Tor which
he, assuming them to be such, prGscrlbeS
his pills and pOtiOnS. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, RSepS up his treatment
until large bills are made. Ipe tfering

Bounty on Insects.

In some parts of Germany, where
the common European beetle, known as
MelOlontha vulgarus, or cockchafer.
occurs in great numbers, and is a con-
siderable pest, especially in the larvae
state. the school children are paid a
bounty for the collection of these in
sects, and enormous quantities of them
have been gotten together in some local
tiles in this manner. 1t is now pro-
posed to find a commercial use for these
beetles, such as the manufacture of
fertilizer. as foodstuff, and in the
preparation of axle greases. for all of
which purposes they have been used to
some extent in the past.

A Word for Farm Groves

The uses of farm groves are numer-
Gus. They add to the beauty of the
landscape by breaking the monotony Of
the prairie furnishing wood for vari-
Gus uses and for fuel, so we need not
be dependent upon the coal trust. They
shelter our premises from the cold
northern blasts during winter. and in
summer, when the thermometer is
playing about the 1G0 degree mark. we
linger in their cooling shade with a
feeling of thankfulness.

EaqIe Kite Fooled Kingfshers.

Seven boys entered their miniature air
ships for the annual kite flying contest,
open to children of the public and
parochial schools, and took place re-
Gently in Genesee Valley Park.
Interest ives lent to the contest by an
odd incident, showing that the birds of
the air may be fooled by the cleverness
of man. Aling Brown had Il kite made
in imitation of an American eagle, and
when it spread its wings to the breeze
and rode away into the air it looked like
a real king of the air"
Indeed, so perfect was the imitation
that as the beautiful kite scared over one
of the trees in the park in rising, two
large kingishers saw the strange fowl
and, uttering their shrill cry of battle,
left the tree and followed the kite high
into the air. They wheeled and circled
around their new enemy. but such was
their awe of the majestic bird they did
not venture to push hostilities to the
actual point of contact. This eagle kite
took the first prize.-Rochester Herald.

Tried and Found ProGt,hJa

The Vermont experiment station has
found a large gain in the use of bor-
deaux mixture as a spray to prevent
the early blight Of potatoes. For more
than fifteen successive years the sta
ton has practiced spraying potatoes
and has always found it a profitable
procedure with early potatoes because
of its effect in warding off insect at
tacks and early blight, aside from the
general stimulation it affords to the
plants.

Chirps Minute.
The chipmunk is not usually consid-
cred much of Il song bird, but accord
ing to Ernest Thompson Seton he is
quite success in vocal role.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April, says Mr.. Seton in Sue
cess. Mounted on some log or root, 1t
reiterates a loud chirpy "Chuck-chuck-
chuckr' Other chipmunks run forth
into the sunlight, and seeking some perch
add their "Chuck-chuck-chuck" to the
spring salute. They are active from
this time of the year on and their sunny
morning chorus is not by any means con-
fined to that original outburst. On April
%, 1905, at Cos Cob, l heard a chip
munk in full song. He kept it up for
eleven minutes without ceasing, and ut
tered $50 chirps to the minute. He got
no reply, though he worked very hard
and seemed tired toward the last. On

Peaches and PIurns.

The peach will not thrive on low
ground. but prefers an elevated situa-
ton always; plums prefer a stiff. damp
soil TO a light one. Therefore, plum
stocks are often used for an orchard
of peaches where the latter are to be
PLANTED in low ground.
