SlOvenly patrons 90 NOT Clean their
separators oftener than once a week it
Is not surprising that the use of the
separator in some localities is not re-
sulting in a materially improved dairy
product
Daily papers In the larger cities re-
port an unusual exodus Of young peo-
pie to the country. It's wholesome
movement and will tend to adjust the
inequality In the supply Of labor which
has made it well nigh impossible for
the granger to get satisfactory labor
at any price, while soft handed clerks
In creased trousers and standup collars
have unrolled bolts Of dry goods be-
hind mahogany counters on salary of
$3.50 a week.
Under no circumstances should the
unsophistcated country girl go to
large city on a tempting offer Of high
wages unless the position she has In
view has been certified to by person
Of her acquaintance In whom she has
absolute confidence. In all too many |
cases girls are wont to view these Of
fers as bona fide only to find by bitter |
experience that they were traps set by
unprincipled or immoral schemers to
lure them to the city.
Root crops-potatoes, turnips, ruta-
bagas and the like-do especially well
In sections where there Is an abun-
dance of moisture and where moderate
temperatures prevail, while corn can
get along with some less moisture and
needs an abundance of heat to produce
the largest and best crops. 1t Is for
the reasons mentioned that Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada pro-
duce the best root crops, while the
states south of these to the gulf Of
Mexico lead in the production Of corn.
While having a seemingly hard and
tough bark, trees, especially the fruit
bearing kind, are exceedingly suscepti-
BILE to damage by fire. This Is due to
the fact that the life layer of the tree,
the light yellow cambium layer, is
Just beneath the outside bark and, be-
ing so near the surface, Is easily affect
ed by an extreme of heat One learns
the truth of this to his sorrow at times
when a fire gets away from him when
burning litter in the garden or when
a fire is accidentally started in the
grass In the orchard.
, For years past fumes of tobacco
have been used for the purpose Of IN.
migration in green and hot houses. But
due to the fact that this Is not always
effective with all kinds Of insects, otheI
insecticides have been experimental
I with, and hydrocyanic acid gas hal
. been found to be very effective. Ont
Of the drawbacks with this Is that II
q addition to exterminating insect life /
will also inflict injury on the plants 4
allowed to remain In the Enclosure to-
y long. 1t is likewise a deadly poison
a and great care has to be exercised Il
= the use Of It.
