What BARRIERS Must Know.

The barber spoke Indignantly.
"a doctor, a lawyer or divine" he
said, learns his business in three or
four years, and afterward he is Won
derfully looked up to. 1t takes us
BARRIERS many, many more years to
learn our business, but who Is there
that looks up to us? On the contrary,
we are rather looked down on.
"Yet think of all good barber must
know today.
He must not only shave and cut
hair and trim boards beautifully. He
must understand facial massage, sing
Ing hairdressing, undulating, dyeing,
wigmaking and matchmaking, and he
must also be able to compound pleas
ant washes and shampoo lotions, mas
sage creams, skin foods, eradicators
and regenerators and depilatories-if
you know what they are-tonics, oils,
brilliantine and shaving creams.
with all this knowledge why
shouldn't the modern barber hold his
head as high as any doctor or lawyer
or preacher in the land?"-New Or

Export Cheese.

Four great principles laid down by
Secretary Barr of the Ontario Dairy
mems association for the making Of
export cheese are sweet, clean, whole
some milk, cool curing, clean man
and a clean factory. High grade ex-
port cheese cannot be produced with
out these essentialities. Keeping rec.
ords Of operations is very necessary.
AcidOmeter must be used in determin-
ing acidity. The amount Of acid will
vary decidedly in different localities
and kind of feed supplied the herd.
The wire curd knife is preferable.
The curd must be cooked according to
acidlty. The cooking should never ex-
coed 60 to GO degrees. The aim In
producing export stock is to have a
cheese that Is meaty and smooth, pos
sessing a silky fine texture.

Answer.-BelOw we give the figures
which show when the mare, COW, eve
or sow will be delivered if bred on the
last day of each month. For instance,
If the mare were bred on. April 80 Of
this year, she is due to foal on April 4
Of next year. If the COW were bred on
May 81, she should drop her calf on
March next year. If the SOW were
bred on Dec. 81, she should pig on
April p.
If the animal is bred on any other
date than those given In this table,
take the day of the month she is bred
and add it to the date she should be
delivered had she been bred the last
day of the month previous, and you
have the date she is due. Suppose the
SOW is bred on Jan. Z. Add seven
days to April q, the time she should
farrow II bred on Dec. 81, and 1t gives
you April 2S. If the mare is bred on
April 20, add twenty days to March 5,
the date she should foal If she had
been bred March 81, and you have
March 25. If the cow Is bred on May
%, add twenty-three days to Feb. 6,
and you have March 1.

Answer.-It Is known that this pest
Is cared for by the little red ants which
are so common to the average corn
field. If you dig into the ant hill, you
will see the ant attempt to carry the
louise to place of safety before it
will make an effort to save its own
eggs The reason for this is the louise
secretes material called honeydew,
and upon this the ant feeds. In other
words, the louise is the ants dairy
and carries 1t to the place where it
can obtain the best food. If the ant
is destroyed or in any way hindered
from placing the louise upon such
plants as it requires, the louise will
soon perish for want of food.
Early blowing of the ground and the
late planting of the seed is the best
way to destroy the pest. 1t is known
that, besides the corn plant, the louise
can live upon the roots of the pigeon
grass, nearly all of the ragweeds and
upon the roots of the smartweed. If
these weeds are destroyed and the
ground is kept clear of them before
ish for want Of food between the time
the eggs are Matched and the corn has
begun to root. Early blowing will
warm up the soil so that the eggs Of
the louise will hatch little earlier
than usual and it will also destroy a
number of the weeds and grasses upon
the roots of which the pest may spend
the early part of its existence. Every
week or ten days after the ground has
been plowed it should be cultivated or
disEcd. This destroys all the weeds
winch have terminated afterward and
makes it impossible for the lice to
FL. god when they are hatched sew
eral days or week after the ground
has been broken up. 1t is good idea
to postpone planting till the first or
ME Of May in the corn belt. BY
Thu lime most of the eggs have hatch
ed I'D the lice have persisted.
r An additional way is to make the
ground as fertile as possible. The
more fertile the ground Is the harder
will be the corn plant and the strong
er it will be to withstand the assaults
of the pest. Many times the lice will
completely destroy part of the roots,
and if the ground is rich the plant
will quickly put forth other roots and
continue its growth. If the soil is poor
and has not the strength, the plant will
not do this, but will become dwarfed,
as 1t would when going through
period of dry weather

Rice In the Salt.

There Is no denying the fact that
salt will not run out of shaker in
humid weather. 1t is a very clever
mineral; knows enough to stay in
when 1t rains.' There is no better ba-
rometer. The best thing ever known
to cause the salt to run is rice. Heat
a teaspoonful Of rice on the stove and
put 1t In the salt shaker with the salt.
The hot rice quickly absorbs all the
moisture and the salt issues forth as
dry as the sands of the desert. Tween
ty grains Of rice are sufficient for a
small shaker. Although it has only
pinholes in the top, the salt will not
pack in the most humid weather.-New

thing about the cornstalk borer and
how to overcome it.
Answer-This insect is generally
called the "heart worm," because it is
In the heart of the stalk that 1t does
Its greatest injury. When full grown
1t is about an inch in length. and its
color varies from light brown to n
purple. 1t Is marked with five white
stripes running lengthwise of the body.
Its presence can be very quickly noted.
The top of the corn plant will wither
rapidly and die in day or, two, while
the stalk below the point where the
worm is located will remain green. If
the attack is made high up on the plant
the leaves below will remain green.
BY observing closely a small hole may
be seen In the side of the stalk, which
was opened by the pest when it gained
admission.
When the worm is full grown it pu-
pates. Since the pest eats downward,
It pupates below the opening through
which 1t enters the stalk. Here the
pupa remains till the middle Of August
or the LIST Of September, when the
moth appears. This deposits the eggs
for the brood Of worms for the follow
ing year.
Up to the present time the cornstalk
b0rer has not done much harm to the
corn crop of the middle states. Conse-
quently little effort has. been made to
discover remedies by which its attacks
can be overcome. Rotation Of crops is
the most satisfactory Of all means.
When the field Is kept in corn year
after year the pest multiplies. If the
change is made to some other crop the
pest will perish.

A Peripatetie lnxestmsnt.

When the scallop is full grown it is
able to swim with great rapidity by
opening and closing the valves Of its
shell. This curious fact, says What to
Eat, was unknown to an unfortunate
Frenchman who undertook few years
ago to establish scallop plantation
on a quiet New England beach. He
deposited several thousand scallops in
shallow water, expecting them to
breed, but when he looked for them
the next day all of them had fed.

WABUSKA COMPANY'S
fine SHOWING

The Wabuska Copper Mines property
is showing to be one of the big copper
mines of the great Yerington district
The recent development made in sinking
the shaft and prosecuting on the Wild
Horse claim of this property is showing
a wonderful amount of ore, this shaft
is located OH the south end of the prop
erty. About 1000 feet north of the Wild
Horse shaft, another shaft is being
sunk and the whole bottom of the shaft
is in ore of Is per cent grade. No cross
cutting has been done as yet, but the in
dications are that the ore body is some
thing like 90 feet or more i'll width. 1t
is the intention of the Company to sink
another shaft about 1000 feet farther
north, which will be permanent deep
working shaft, where the preliminary
work has shown a very fine body of ore.
The work so far done shows a contin-
uous ore shoot over 2000 feet i'll length,
and the end is not yet.
The unanimous opinion of the most
noted copper experts who have visited
this property, is that it is the making of
one of the big mines of the district, and
that as depth is attained their opinion
will, and is proving them, to be correct.
Manager James a. McDermott has
been opening this property in manner
that is certainly a credit not only to him
self, but to the company he is represent
ing The permanent work, such as the
sinking of a big working shaft, machin-
erv, etc, having been decided on, he
viii push work with his accustomed
energy. AS he says: The Wabuska IS
the equal of the best in this district,

in copper mining.

For some reason best known to the
company, it has an aversion to giving out
news calculated to place the property in
the class it belongs 1t is commonly
understood that the drill has encountered
rich ore in various places, the surmise
being based upon the fact that after the
first hole had been sunk by the drill, a
shaft was started and is now being
driven presumably to tap the ore body
discovered by the drill
The Empire Nevada is located in the

GIGANTIC ORE BODY IN
MASON VALLEY

"Our ore body at the present time is
shown to be at least 100 feet i'll width,
and will average 20 per cent copper,
said Captain Tibbets of the Mason VAL
ley Copper company this week to a
Times representative.
With the possible exception of the
Nevada Douglas and the Bluestone, the
Mason Valley has the greatest amount
of ore in sight thus far in the Yerington
district.
AT the same time there are other prop
critics which bid fair to equal the record
of the three above mentioned, among
which are the Malachite, Yerington Cop
per and others. On the latter there has
not been the development as on the Ma
son Valley, but with the continuance of
the energy now being bestowed upon
them, there is not the slightest doubt
that before six months shall have elapsed
Yerington will add to its list of shipping
properties.
