TIE RISK TOO GREAT.

Several reports which we have no.
ticed recently tell Of very serious acct
dents which befell little girls Of ten
years while helping in some Of the
farm operations. One had her feet cut
off through unwisely getting in front
Of q mower hitched to nervous horses,
another had an arm frjghtfully man
gled from getting 1t caught in the reel
Of a n spreader, While a third
girl, somewhat older, lost her life
while driving a team Of horses through
a b aking Of the hayfork rope, In
view of accidents of this kind, which
are Of frequent occurrence all over the
country, it Is well for the parent to
remember that considerable risk is IN
volved in the handling Of most farm
machinery, ever for one who Is strong
and experienced, and that the likeli-
hood Of injury increases many fold
when inexperienced boys and girls take
the mans place. We believe it is right
and proper for children to help in all
ways that they can up to the limit Of
their strength and ability and that, as
a rule, they like to do SO, but car should
be taken that this work is not too
heavy for their strength or of an extra
hazardous nature.

THE BOY AND COLLEGE.

At this season Of the year, a short
time before the Schools and colleges Of
the land open for their years work,
there is many a boy who is debating
the question as to whether it will be
worth while for him to go to college.
No wonder that he scratches his head,
for the problem is not an entirely sim
pie one, several factors entering in
and serving to make an affirmative o T
negative decision the wiser one. In a
general way it is true that there is
probably DO money that q young man
spends that fetches him a larger or
more satisfactory return On the amount
invested than that put into getting an
education, and this holds whether it Is
along the line Of the professions, lib
eral arts, along technical lines or in
specialization in animal ~husbandry, ag-
riculture or horticulture. The returns
may not be apparent at once, but the
increased capacity which the educa-
ton gives will mean an increased sal
airy as soon as he becomes adjusted in
the work for which he has prepared
himself. There is a never supplied de-
mand these days for young men Of
worth and character who are we'll
equipped along the lines mentioned.
In view of the opportunities which are
open, the chief questions to be deter
mined would seem, therefore, to be
those Immediately affecting the boy.
1t is probably fair to say that 1t will
pay the boy to go to college and will
be worth the trouble on the part of the
parents to send him If he cares enough
for the opportunities which college life
affords to work for them. If he does
not prize them to this extent-this on
the assumption that the entire means
are not at hand to defray the expenses
Of such a course-he would probably
do better to stay at home.
There will be hours in the college
life of the lad who is working his way
through school when It will be very
trying for him to be moving lawns,
bucking wood or doing other work in
bis spare hours when his fellow STU
dents are participating in athletic
sports or otherwise spending their
time In recreation. But this handicap
is more apparent than real, its harsh
ness mellowing Or largely disappear
ing as college days recede. In conclu-
sion, it is pertinent to suggest that
the financial Is not the only point that
should be considered. The college
trained man may or may not acquire
great wealth, but If his training is
what 1t ought to be 1t will enable
him to get more out of life and put
more into 1t for others, as well as
make him more influential and capable
as q man and citizen.

CURE FOR IVY POISONING.

A lady reader of these notes living
at Waterford, Conn, kindly writes rec
ommending the use of a fairly strong
solution Of blue vftriol or copper sui
phate as a cure for ivy poisoning and
the Inflammation resulting from mos
quito bites. She states that size has
tried this remedy and found it afforded
a sure and speedy relief. Since the
solution makes a stain like iron rust
good towels should not be used in wip-

bathed with it. Being poisonous If
taken internally, it should be kept out
Of the reach Of children. Another cure
for ivy poisoning equally simple and
inexpensive was recommended in these
notes last year by a Maine veterinarian
which 1t will be in place to quote again.
This was a paste made by moistening
common wood ashes with water, the
same being applied on the affected
parts. Since those especially sensitive
to the poison may become inoculated
with it by the air blowing from an adj

lief from it will doubtless be welcomed.

sects which lay their long, oval, reddish
eggs, just large enough to be seen
with the naked eye, lengthwise in the
unteer or early sown wheat plants
From these eggs soon hatch tiny red,
dish larvae, which wr1ggle down inside
the leaf sheath until they reach a joint,
where they rasp the tissue Of the stem,
feed and grow. The maggots soon
turn white, the majority transforming
into faxseed before cold weather sets
in. Early in the spring these fax
seeds hatch out flies, which in turn lay
a batch of eggs which pass through
the faxseed and reach the fly stage in
May. It Is this batch Of maggots which
work chief damage to the wheat crop.
The most effective measures for hold
ing the pest in check are to delay the
sowing Of the wheat until the bulk of
the eggs have been laid, the early SOW
ing Of a strip Of wheat across the field
on which the eggs will be deposited
and the later blowing of this under to
a good depth before the main crop is
sown. Another method that is follow
ed is the burning of the stubble or
disking soon after harvest, followed
by a deep blowing, which completely
covers the old straw and volunteer
wheat plants and prevents their serv-
ing as passageways for the flies on

All too many young fellows seem to

The Wealthy apple, which is well
known to residents of most Of the
northern states, is growing steadily in
popularity as one of the best fall ap-
pies, ranking with the Jonathan both
in point of color and quality. 1t is an
excellent keeper in cold storage and, if
carefully harvested and packed, makes
a ready sale On the Christmas mar
kets, being highly priced for its bright
red color, juiciness and spicy flavor.
Many growers are realizing an extra
profit from this fruit by packing in
bushel boxes, a practice that is the
rule and not the exception with most
Pacific coast apple growers.
