PRINCE GEORGES RAsHNEss
May Yet Involve Servia in Some Very
Unwholesome Trouble.

Vienna. Oct. 12.-The inflammatory
speeches OF Crown Prince George OF
Servia, who is melting the people to
war. while his father. King Peter. has
observed an attitude of caution
causes considerable uneasiness in Off
cial circles in Belgrade, according tc
dispatches received here. There is less
fear of a war than of a dynastic crisis
and an attempt to place the crown
prince on the throne.
The Servian premier has tried vainly
to suppress the crown prince, for it
is fearen that he may lead bands OF
volunteers against Bosnia, or dc
something equally rash.

Some Remedies For Cabbage Pests.
At the last meeting of our Farm
ers' Union some one asked what to
do for an insect that was eating cab
bage, but could not be found. The
reply was, that It was bug which
burrowed in the soil when not eat
ing; and there was no remedy except
thorough cultivation preceded by
thorough preparation Of the soil be-
fore planting time. Another mem
Der said to try sprinkling the plants
and ground around them, with So
luton Of saltpetre, using two tea
spoons Of powdered saltpetre to a
pail Of water. He also gave this as
a preventative of the rayages Of the
beetle that so often Injuries squash,
melon and cucumber plants. 1t does
not kill, perhaps, but drives away
the bug, which answers the same pur-
pose. Sometimes a second applica-
ton IS necessary.
Saltpetre and water are said TO be
good for cabbage worms. Sometimes
sprinkling ashes or garden dust on
the cabbage while the dew is on will
kill the worms but the surest rem
edy is a teaspoonful Of Paris green to
forty tablespoons of -four sprinkled
on the cabbage while damp with dew,
or use Paris green in solution sprink-
led on later in the day. Many are
afraid to use Paris green, because It
Is poison; but the growth OF cab
bage Is from the inside. and the rem
edy is applied to what later becomes
the loose outside leaves and cannot
injure any one. Should any enter
the inner part of the head the irsi
good rain would wash It all away;
or the washing when the cabbage IL

Lettuce GROWING NrInkIes.

A combination method Of indoor
and outdoor lettuce culture that
sometimes works nicely is starting
head lettuce in the greenhouse, hot
bed or cold frame and transplanting
to the open as soon as the weather is
favorable. Not only do we thus get
earlier lettuce, but the development
of head lettuce seems to be very fine
under these conditions. Deacon, Big

HOW 10 Avoid Red Bugs.

Venice the Queen of the Adriatic with

masterpieces of Raphael and Murillo were
shown. Rome with ST. Peters, the Fo-

great wealth of art and beauty of the
Vatican were unfolded Then came Ma

treasures were brought to light. and with
them the fact that even in those days 1t
was not an unusual thing for purveyors
of wine and liquid refreshment to draw
several grades at varying prices from the
same cask. This was made clear in the
view of one of the ancient wine cellars
with its fOur-compartment cask. the con-
tents of which all ran through one pipe.
The pictures OF southern Italy were es-
