Diseases Of Wireless Operators.

A French naval surgeon has OBJ
served facts which he thinks warrant
him in attributing certain morbid
conditions to overexposure to the
electrical waves employed in wireless
telegraphy. For the most part they
have affected the eye, generally in
coniunctivitis, though in one instance
there was keratitis.
Eczema, too, has been observed, and
the author thinks that many cases of
neurasthenia are attributed to the cur
rent. He remarks that induced cur
rents are common product Of the &C
tion of the apparatus, and intimates
that these may cause trouble among
other persons than those Immediately
concerned in the Geographic opera

be provided with blue or yellow spec.

The young larva enters the apple by

tightly pressed together as to make it
very difficult for the liquid to pene-
trate to the lower cavity. BY waiting
a week or ten days, even though the
calyx lobes are closing at that time,
these bars have shrunk enabling q
careful workman to place big dose
of poison in the lower chamber, where
it is needed The nozzle should be
held above the apples, and made to
give, not mist, but forcible and

Fresh Honey on Farm.

Fresh honey on the farm is a most
excellent food and an appreciated deli
cacy for any table. Bees are the
most cheaply kept of all domestic ami.
mails, and they do much good to fruit
trees and other plants in carrying
pollen for greater fruit production.
They are both interesting and profit
able, and every farmer should keep at
least a few colonies with plenty of
new hives and other supplies to care
for the surplus honey and any new
or stray swarms that come off during
the summer. There is an old saying:
"a swarm of bees in May is worth a
load of hay" and a load of hay is
worth $40.

CARING FOR CABBAGE PLANT.
Experiments at Wisconsin Agricultural
Station Find Tarred Paper
Disks Valuable Aid.

Tarred paper disks placed around
cabbage plants will prevent the cab
bage maggot flies from laying their
eggs at the base of the stem of the
plant. Experiments have shown that
the odor OF the tar has a repellent
effect on the insects.
1t is important that the disks be
applied before the eggs are laid. other
wise they are ineffective. Plants which
have become badly injured by the
maggot should be destroyed. Those
slightly damaged should be treated
with carbon disulphide and well ferti-
lized to promote growth and vigor.
The disks may be made in the fol
lowing manner:
The disks are hexagonal in shape
and four inches across, and should be
cut from roll of single-ply tarreo
felt or paper. Place the paper on
table and unroll upon smooth boart
as needed. Make a hexagonal form
of wood one-quarter inch thick, will
tack through the center to proven
the form from slipping and to mari

ADVANTAGES of the Separator.

One Of the greatest advantages of

In the busy summer season, when the

much time is wasted in hauling milk
to the creamery and waiting turns to
get the skinned milk to bring back
home. In many cases this loss IL
almost as much as the product Is
