latter gentle pressure upon its

versed iron, its broad end doing the
work, will prevent any shrinking or

To avoid any fullneSS at the center
when ironing the pieces which have
insertions of lace or drawn work, it
is necessary to keep the open spaces
stretched to their full width, but not
further.
1t will be found that wherever
threads have been Withdrawn from

shrink, in washing, closer than the
rest of the material; or, if of an open
pattern, are easily stretched too far
apart. Repeated dampening and
gentle but persistent stretching with
the broad end of the iron upon the

first instance, and in the second upon
the intervening rows of linen, always
watchful that the straight edges lie
exactely parallel with the edges of

FIG. XX-A SPRAYER AT WORK
Ito. The curculiO beetle lays its eggs
in the young fruit shortly after it sets.
In doing 50 1t leaves a half moon
shaped scar, which is its trademark.
One Of the surest ways Of getting rid
Of this insect Is to jar the beetles
from the tree ut this time.
Spraying Is also an effective remedy.
The bordeaux-paris green mixture
may be used, but arsenate Of lead is
better, since it is less liable to injure
the leaves. 1t is applied ut the rate Of
three pounds to fifty gallons Of water.
The spray should be applied just be-
fore the blossoms open. just after they
fall and again about fifteen days later.
Poisonous sprays should never be ap-
piled to fruit trees while they are in
blossom. 1t IS not necessary In order
to destroy the insects and will kill
many Of the hOneybees. upon which
the blossoms are so dependent for pol
lination.
The insects that have been men-
toned SO far live by eating the leaves
and fruit and in doing SO take up
enough Of the poison to put an end to
their destructive work. There Is an
other class Of insects. however, for
which such remedies are not effective.
These are the sucking insects, Of
which plant lice are the most common
examples. Insects of this kind feed
by drilling through the outer layer Of
the leaf or bark and sucking the plant
juices. They thus escape damage
from any poison which may be on the
surface.
TO get rid Of sucking insects some
substance which will kill by coming in
There is nothing better for this pur-
pose than kerosene emulsion. This is
made by dissolving half a pound Of
soap in gallon Of boiling rainwater.
This mixture is then taken from the
stove and two gallons Of kerosene add
violently for few moments by pump
ing 1t up with the spray pump and
back into the pail. This causes the
oil to mix thoroughly with the water
Before using, this original mixture Is
diluted with six to ten parts Of wa
ter.
A common insect affecting garden
crops and one that Is hard to handle
Is the striped cucumber beetle. This
Is serious enemy Of cucumbers,
squashes, melons and other plants Of
like nature. Spraying does little good
and is liable to injure the tender plants
as well. Where but n few hills are
raised. covering them for the first
two weeks with a small box with mos
quito bar stretched across the top Is a
good preventive measure. Another ef-
fective plan Is to go over the patch
In the morning while the dew Is on
and the beetles cannot fly, knock them
to the ground by giving the plant n
slight blow and put drop Of kerosene
on each one.
Where any Of these crops are raised
on large scale the most effective
remedy is the use of trap plants"
Plant the field to sQuashes n week or
ten days before time to plant the main
crop. The beetles are especially fond
Of squash plants and will gather on
them in large numbers as soon rs they
come up. Just about the time the 9TH
er plants begin to peep through the
ground the squashes can be sprayed
with very strong kerosene emulsion.
This will destroy both the squash
plants and the beetles. There will
usually not be enough Of the latter left
In the neighborhood to do much dam

Many poisons. Of which paris green

and fruit.
To make this mixture dissolve five
pounds Of copper Sulphate and five
pounds of lime separately In twenty
five gallons Of water each. When they
are thoroughly dissolved mix the two
solutions and add four ounces Of paris

added to prevent the chemicals from

AMONG the enemies which the

AMONG the enemies which the
"a farmer has to combat perhaps
"A none are more troublesome
than insects. Nothing IS more
aggravating tlsn to have a promising
crop of fruit or grain attacked by a
horde OF bugs" and greatly injured
If not entirely ruined.
Insects. like weeds. are very difficult
to deal with if you go at them one at
time. but If properly managed they
can be easily held in check. From
the standpoint of the damage they do.
insects may hc divided into two
classes those which attack field crops
and those which are injurious to fruit
and garden crops.
There are Il number OF EIslcU-
which attack corn. While these are
seldom present in large enough num-
bers to Destroy any considerable part
of the entire crop. the money value
of the damage they infiict on the corn
grown on quarter section each year
amounts to no small sum.
One OF the most important Of these
pests Is the corn root worm. The
eggs, which are laid In the cornfield
during August or September. hatch
during the next June or July. The
worms when full grown are about
one third Of an inch long and us big
around as pin. They bore up inside
the roots, injuring' them so badly that
the growth Of the plant is seriously
checked. Often. too. the roots are so
weakened that the corn blows down
badly. Some time during August the
worm goes through a transformation
called pupation. which changes 1t into
a small light green beetle. This bee
tie feeds on the silks and tips Of ears
and lays eggs for the next years crop
of worms.
Another insect which lives on the
roots Of corn Is the root louise. These
lice are very small and helpless. They
are kept through the winter in the
egg stage in ant hills. In the spring
after they hatch they are placed on
the corn roots by the ants. The ants
are very fond Of sweet fluid which
is secreted by the lice. and they take
care Of them for this purpose.
Other insects which do more or less
damage to the corn crop are the stalk
bOrer. wireworm. white grub, bill bug,
cutwOrm, etc. These insects live and
in grass land and from there
find their way into the adjoining corn
fields They do the greatest damage.
however. when the grass land is
plOwed up and put into corn.
The damage from nearly all insects
affecting corn. small grain or grass
can be readily prevented by good
system Of rotation. This is especially
true II clover Is used. since such in
sects as cutwOrms and grubs do not
work to any extent on clover. The
frequent plOwing Of the ground and
change Of crops where a rotation Is fol-
lowed are fatal to most insects. Dam
age from these pests will be still fur
ther reduced II the soil is kept SO well
supplied with plant food that the
plants can get quick start in the
spring. Treated in this way, they are
more vigorous and better able to with
stand insect attacks.
These remedies. with the exception
Of the last. cannot be applied to or

Strange as it may seem to the gene
raj public, it can easily be proven
that domestic infelicity and pauper-
ism is more frequent in dry than in
wet territory. There are more di
vorces, according to population, in
Kansas City. than in Milwaukee.
In Maine, in 1903 there were 163 in

duct and prescribe the diet and

cause one cannot control his appe-
tlte? is that the sort Of personal
liberty that was guaranteed us by
the fundamental law? 3? say without
fear OF contradiction that when YOU
say to men of this nation that they
cannot do those things which they
know they may do without injury to
the rights of others. you are making
direct appeal to their cOmbative-
ness and summOning them to resist
ance. These waves OF fanaticism all
have their day. like the Crusades of
old, when millions were slaughtered
through the misguided efforts of
Peter the Hermit. Godfrey of Co
logne, and others of their ilk. Will
any sane man stultify his reputation
by asserting that a policy is right,
from an ethical standpoint, which
propagates hypocrisy, places pre-
mlum upon perjury. encourages dis
cord and lawlessnesS. and substitutes
the blind pig. the boot-legger, the
speak and the club-locker for
the saloon. which may be regulated
by municipal and State authorities
with the active. energetic and patri-
otic cooperation of all good men? |
hope not.
No one will dispute the fact that
our excise laws have been lamentably
loose, but the fault lies in the grant
ing Of the license. None but the
best of men should be allowed to run
our saloons; men who would not
tolerate drunkenness. Our saloons
should be run like any other legiti-
mate business. for the convenience
and pleasure of the public and be so
orderly that any lady could enter one
if she saw fit, without staining her
reputation. 1t is not the use of
liquor that hurts, but the abuse of
the privilege. l am as much op-
