THE BuNco BUSINESS.

Over in Ohio, so the papers tell the
story, the other day a farmer man
bought two small pieces of very good
clear cut glass, worth about 90 cents,
for Sill. He thought they We're dia-
monds The main reason for his con-
hdence was that two or three cappers
stood about and bid against him for
possession of the gems" He knew
they must be valuable because some
one else appeared anxious to get them.
50 he jumped for the bait, paid over
his good money and repented at leis-
ure. His diamonds under test were
simply worthless pieces of glass.
As concerns the victim tpis case is
as much ludicrous as pitiable. We
smile over it forgetting that each and
all of US are bidding against cappers
and other fools than ourselves for all
sorts Of worthless trash because some
one else seems to want it badly. The
confidence game runs thru more
phases shan that of selling a greedy
and ignorant victim glass for dia-
monds. We are all fools, fooling each
other being fooled, buying with our
best the glittering limitations of happi-
ness.

SUPPORT for Vines.

Last year tried a new support for
towering vines which proved most
satisfactory. T took two light sticks
hong enough to reach across the end
of the paazza where I wished to train
the vines. and connected them with
stout cords on which the vines might
run. In the upper stick I fastened
three screw eyes which slipped over
three corresponding hooks at the top
of the piazza. Several times during
the summer when we had furious
storms which whip the tender vines so
ruinously, unlocked the support and
placed the vines fat on the piazza
floor, securing the stick with a couple
of stones. In this way they escaped the
worst of the storm and were quite
fresh when / hooked them in place
again. Our vines never before lived
thru the summer in such good condi-
ton. The first frosty nights the vines
were placed on the ground and COW
cred with a blanket so that our bios
Esoms remained quite late, and wher

strings or wires.-The Housekeeper.

Rape for Hog Feeding.

There can be no doubt that in the

of rape is entitled to much more.

this country in the past Its cultural
requirements are very simple, and
when given we'll MANFRED piece Of
ground, a reasonably large amount OF
moisture and a fair chance it is a very
heavy cropper.
For some years the experimental
farms in western Canada have used
rape plots for hog pasture, and the
| reports encourage its use. For DEFINITE
information as to it's value, we may
be pardoned, however, for referring 10
a rather extended series of tests made
| In Wisconsin a few years ago and
summarized in the report of that state
as follows:
| The results of these feeding trials
with rape for pigs would seem to war
rant the following conclusions:
| 1. That with pigs from four to ten
months old representing the various
breeds of swine, an acre of rape, when
properly grown, has a feeding value,
when combined with a ration of corn
and shorts, equivalent to 2,436 pounds
of mixture of these grain feeds and
money value of s19.49 per acre.
2. That rape is better green feed
for growing pigs than good clover pas
lture the pigs fed upon the rape hav-
I ing made on the average 100 pounds
of gain on as pounds less grain than
was required by the pigs fed upon
clover pasture.
g. That pigs are more thrifty, have
better appetites and make correspond
ingly greater gains when supplied with
a. rape pasture in conjunction with
their grain feed than when fed on
grain alone.
4. That plat of Dwarf Essex for
age rape when planted in drills thirty
inches apart early in May in Wiscon-
sin. will yield three good crops of pas
ture forage in a favorable season.
3. That rape is the most satisfac-
tory and cheapest green feed for swine
that we have fed.
! g. That every feeder of hogs in
WISCONSIN should plant each spring
a small field of rape adjoining his
hog yard, and provide himself with
few rods of movable fence. to proper
ly feed the rape TO brood sows ane

Suuash Bugs.

Squash Bugs.
The squash bug is a fiat insect, rusty
black in color, with yellow belly 1t IS
about half-inch long, and emits an
offensive odor. 1t winters in the adult
form underneath leaves. boards, ETC.,
and lays its eggs on the under side OF
leaves in June. The young are Matched
out in short time.
To get rid of them. hand picking IN
the morning and evening. when the
bugs are less active. is good plan.
Kerosene emulsion diluted with twelve
parts water sprinkled on and about
plants, is recommended. Shingles or
small boards put about the plants serve
as hiding places for these insects, and
then they can easily be killed.
