To Destroy insects.

The grayish black squash bug is
difficult to manage. Gathering the eggs
and the old bugs early in the spring
is laborious but sure, If thoroughly
done. The bugs will crawl upon a
piece of board laid among the vines,
and may be gathered and caught. The
use of poisons will do no good in the
case of the bugs, as they do not eat
the leaves, but pass their heaks
through the outside Of the leaf TO
suck the juices, and viii not consume
any of the poison. In series or cN-
pCrments in the method Of prevent
ing the attacks of the squash vine bor-
cr the representatives. employed were
paris green Mt the rate OF half tea
spoonful to two gallons Of water, corn
cobs dipped In coal tar, and the hero-
sene emulsion: the application Of the
paris green and the kerosene was re-
pcatcd after every hard rail- until
September; the cobs were dipped in
coal tar again once IN three weeks.
All three Of the applications seemed to
be beneficial with perhaps little
something in favor OF the corucobS
as being cheapest and most convenient
The Odor of the tar has no effect on
the insects, but sometimes repels the
moth, causing her to lay her eggs else
where.

COULDN'T KEEP 1T.
Kent II Hid from the Children.


"We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in
the house. It goes so fast l have to
hide 1t, because the children love it SO.
1t is just the food | have been looking
for ever so long; something that l do
not have to stop to prepare and still is
nourishing."
GrapeNuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. 1t is per-
fectly snd completely cooked at the fac
tory and can be served at an instant's
notice, either with rich cold cream. or
with hot milk if hot dish is desired.
When milk or water Is used, a little
sugar should be added. but when cold
cream is used alone the natural grape
sugar which can be seen glistening on
the granues, Is sufficiently sweet to
satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar
is not poured over the granules, as
some people think, bot exrrles from The
granules in the process of manufacture,
when the starch OF the grains Is chang
ed from starch to grape sugar by the
process OF manufacture. This, In effect,

The New Farmer.

The Presidents address last month
at the Michigan State Agricultural Col
lege is so clear an expression of the
conditions of modern farm life that
future historian may turn to it to
read our times. All national leaders
have told US that the farmer Is the
backbone of the nation. Washington
and jefferson were farmers, and good
ones. The Illinois that bred Lincoln
was one vast farm-ChicagO was then
only a small town. The President OF
today, not bred in farm life, although
he has been a practical ranchman, Is
the first to express the unity between
farm labor and all other kinds. The
farmer to him is an expert mechanic
and business man, whose problems are
precisely those of the workman in the
town, who depends for success on III
dustral and social cooperation. lie
must be an educated, aggressive par
ticipant in the work of life, competing
with the farmer of Europe, inviting
to his workshop Of many acres the
most skilfuI young men, learning from
technical students and the practical eX-
perience of his neighbors the best that
Is known about his business. City
workers, meeting in the friction OF
crowded life, have always learned their
craft from one another. The farm
er has until recently been in social
and business isolation. Now he IS a
citizen of the world, often closer in
point of time, to the nearest city than
his grandfather was to the farmers of
the adjacent town. The difference be-
tween the toWnSman and the country
man in educational and intellectual
opportunities and in industrial respon-
sibilty is rapidly diminishing. That
means the diminishing OF the old real
or fancied disadvantage OF farm life
which drove ambition and initiative to
the city for opportunity to show them
selves. The advantage remains and
increases, for no matter how near to-
gether modern instruments of unity,
the trolley and telephone, bring city
and country, broad acres still remain
broad, and produce the conditions of
free and independent life.--Youth's
Companion.

Pig That Selected Church Site.

Most Lancashire cyclists are familiar
with Winwick. Il village on the way be
tween Leigh and Warrington, surround
ed by good roads, and no doubt many OF
these whcclorS have been struck with the
curious etiigy of Il pig carved i'll the tow
er of Winwick church.
1t is said that when the church was
being built pig moved the foundation
some three times. and ut last allowed
the stone to remain on the spot where
the church now stands. An ettigy WAS
therefore placed in the church tower.
The word "Winwick' uttered with a
nasal twang resembles the grunt of a
pig, and this is also said to give the
village its name.-Baltmore American.

be termed summer grain crop, as the
seed may be broadcasted in June and

that can be grown for that purpose.

C.bbngc Rot.

Black rot has been very destructive
on cabbage and caulitlower for several
seasons, and means Of relief, even
slight, will be welcomed by growers
Recent investigation by the New York
station ut Gcness show that the germ
of disease may be carried over winter
on the dry seed, fact previously
doubted by scientists. and that these
germs may produce the disease when
inoculated into the healthy plants. 1t
Is. therefore, a wise prrraution to dis
infect the cabbage seeds, rs removing
one possible source of Infection. This
can be done very chcaply. easily and
safely by soaking the seeds for fifteen
minutes In corrosive sublimatc solu-
ton of | to 1000 strcnEth.

minute. Nevertheless Missouri

which the pigs are given Il good wash

should also prove equally as useful at
other times. The construction and OPP
Grafton of the dipping tank, as it is
called, will be plainly evident by a
glance at the accompanying illustra-
tor. Resting on the ground is the wa
ter tank, which is connected to an in
clined inlet and outlet. On the in
cline OF the outlet are tiny stairs to
assist the pig in ascending. In prep
aratlon for his annual" the pig is
forced down the incline into the water,
and IL his common sense does not di-
rect him on the incline, he is prodded
from behind with bar. In fact, In
time this device may become very
fashionable with pigs, and it would
not be surprising to hear of them TAX
ing their daily dip hereafter.

Testing Dairy Cows.

The Illinois station publishes cir
cular which emphasizes the import
ance of studying the production of in
dividual COWS, and contains records for
one year of eighteen dairy herds in
Illinois, including pol cows.
The average year production was
5000 pounds of milk AVID 2oG. SO
pounds of butterfat.
The best herd averaged 35O17
pounds Of butterfat and the poorest
1l2O5 pounds.
The best ten cows averaged 3SS. 10
pounds of buttcrfat ana the poorest
ten lO9.42 pounds.
1t is believed that ut least one-third
of the COWS in the. ordinary herds are
practically Improbable.
A marked improvement was OBJ
served in herds where grading had
been practiced.
It was found possible to remove five
cows from a herd OF ten and thereby
increase the profit $1G2 per head.

A Fathers Advice
to His Daughter.

A isther talking to bis careless
daughter said: Il want to speak TO
you OF your mother. Is may be that
you have noticed a careworn look
upon her face lately. on course, il
has not been brought there by any
act OF yours, still Is is your duty to
chase 1t away. Iwant you to get up
tomorrow morning and get break
fast; and when your mother comes
and begins TO express her surprise,
go right up to her and kiss her on
the mouth. You can't imagine how
it will brighten her dear face.
Besides you owe her a kiss or
two. Away back when you were q
little girl she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever faint
ed breath and swollen face. You
were not as attractive then as you
are now. Then through those years
OF childish sunshine and shadows she
was always ready to cure by the
magic OF q mothers kiss the dirty,
chubby hands whenever they werein-
iured In the rough old world. Then
too, the midnight kisses with which
she leaned above your pillow have
all been on interest these long, long
years.
"Of course, she Ia not so pretty
and kissable as you are but II you
had done your share of the work dur
ing the past ten years, the contrast
would not be so marked. Her face
has far more wrinkles thsn yours, and
yet, II you were sick shat face would
appear far more beautiful than an
angels asit hovered veryou, watch.
Ing every opportunity to minister to
your comfort and every one OF these
wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets OF sunshine chasing each
other over her dear face.
"She will leave you one OF these
days. These burdens, |! not lifted
from her shoulders, will break her
down. Those hard rough hands that
have done 80 many necessary things
for you, will be crossed upon her life
less breast, those neglected lips that
gave you your first baby kiss, will
beforever closed; and those sad, tired
eyes will have opened In eternity.
Then you will appreciate your moth
or but 1t will be too late"
