Must Know Insects.

The farmer and truck grower must know all about bugs and every specfe of insects. He must be bugologist, a chemist, and a naturalist to sue eeed.
 He must understand the different combinations of lime, sulphur, cop per, arsenic and other po;sonous com pounds which should be administered to each plant at the proper time. 1T he makes the poison too strong he will kill the foliage as well as the blight germs and the insects. If he applies them at the wrong time he will kill the fruit blossoms and the pollen-bearing bees and birds. If he does not apply them at all he will have no crop.
 The currant crop is cut down this year by currant bugs and the scale anthracope is killing the blackberries. Club-root is affecting the cabbage. Yellow-stripe bugs are biting the cu- eumber vines Potatoes, besides the Colorado beetles. have developed blight and scab. Fruit trees by the thousand have been killed by the scale, moths and other insects. Chest nut trees, which have hitherto been immune, have now fatal prasite of their own Strawberry patches have been spoiled by the cutworm. A variation of the squash bug attacks egg plants. Ants have developed liking for radishes, and so on to the end of bugdom, which contains a mil lion or more speeies-even in this climate
 In this section there are few crops not affected by insects. Grass and corn are freer than any others; but most of them are subject to destruc- tion. So the farmer, truck gardner and tree grower have troubles Ike other lines of business.

 Horticultural EducS Stion.

Now when our agricultural colleges in every state are busy and the hun areds of boys who are to become the farm leaders of the future are getting down to their studies, the following thoughts on the need of agricultural education, voiced by Professor H. J. Waters of Missouri, may be opportune:
 "The farmer Of tomorrow must face more serious responsibilities than the farmer of yesterday" says Dr. Waters. Farming becomes more complex and difficult as our country develops. The public domain has been exhausted. The agricultural area must from this on be subdivided to support the ever increasing number to ba provided with the opportunity to earn liveli- hood. New and difficult problems are constantly presenting themselves ani must he solved before success is pos sible. New crops; new demands of the market; new pests of insects and weed; new diseases of plants and ami nal; new conditions of soil and crop ping all demand an intelligent and scientific treatment However success ful, therefore. the farmer of yesterday may have been without the benefits Of scientific knowledge, it is certain that the farmer of tomorrow will not find the practical experience of past gen erations adequate to meet the new and changed conditions under which he must labor
 "The present day collegiate course in agriculture fulfills all of the reason able requirements of a liberal educa- tion, diseiplining the mind quite as we'll as the classics at the same time that it furnishes information of incal- eulable value to the farmer in conduct ing all lis business. It is not all of success, however, to make money. The educated man lives better, gets more out of life. and is better and safer citizen"

The increased use of "Toris" for lame back and rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost in- fallible cure when mixed with cer- tain other ingredients and taken prop erly. The following formula is effec- tive: ITO one-half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa- rilla Compound. Take in tablespoons ful doses before each meal and be. fore retiring"

CAUSE AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are cer- tain to follow continued use of improp- CT food.
 Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use Of heavy, greasy, rich food. finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion
 Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and Effect in their daily food. A N. Y. young wom- an writes her experience thus:
 Sometime ago had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to di- gest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed useless.
 "A friend advised me to try Grape Nuts food, praising it highly. and as last resort tried it. I am thankful to say that Grape-Nuts not only re- lieved me of my trouble, but built me up and strengthened my digestive or gans so that I can now eat anything I desire. But I stick to Grape-Nuts."

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
By Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
 Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face. We went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months We tried set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest well; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had clear face Now he is two years and has never had eczema again.

Ready with the Answer.

Miss Baxter. feeling the effects of a torrid afternoon in June, was attempt Ing to arouse the interest of her lan- guid class by giving. as she supposed, an interesting talk on the obelisk. After speaking for half an hour she found that her efforts were wasted. Feeling utterly provoked, she cried: Every word that nave said you have let in at one ear and out of the other. You"-pointing to girl whom she mo- uced had been particularly inattentive throughout the entire lesson-"tell me, what is an obelisk?'
 The pupil. grasping the teachers last words, rose and promptly an- swered:
 .An obelisk is something that goes in one ear and out the other. Sue cess Magazine.

WHY SHE PUEASES HIM.

You wonder what he sees in her,
 Her charms are really very few. Her beauty's not beyond compare.
 And all her dresses look askew. She is not an attractive sight,
 of figure she has none. and yet She waits on him both day and night And never has been known to fret. He loves her. that is very plain.
 Although she lacks all social charms. Her hair is like 8 tangled skein
 And thin and scrawny are her arms. You wonder what he in her sees,
 She brought to him store of peif, And yet. while hubby takes his case. She buttons all her waists herself It Is not necessary that
 woman should be fair of face, Or not too lean or not too fat.
 Or cen possess a world of grace. Our interest in a beauty bright
 We find will very often lag, Especially if late ct night
 She waits our coming just to nag. And so. although she be not fair,
 Leading a fashionable life. They make a very happy pair.
 For she's a most devoted wife. When going out, 'tis true that she
 Has never made her husband wait. She never calls him in to see
 If she has put her hat on straight.

We are not sent into this world to do anything into which We cannot put our hearts. We have certain work to do for our bread and that is to be done strenuously; other work to dc for our delight and that is to be done heartily: neither is to be done by halves or shifts, but with a will; and what is not worth this effort Is not to be done at all-John Ruskin.
