LADYeuGs DESTROY SCALE.

The owner Of an old orchard near
Ephrata. Pa. has undertaken a quite
systematic propagation Of the lady
bug as an aid In keeping In check the
ravages Of the San Jose scale, with
which his orchard had become in
tested. The trees were so large and in
such condition that he did not feel that
he would be justified in spraying and
was on the point of cutting the or
chard down when he noticed that for
some reason the scale insects were
held In check. On making an exam
nation he found that colony of lady
bugs was wintering near the roots of
one of the trees, which he concluded
was the agency which was doing the
good work Since that time, little
more than year ago, they have multi
piled until every tree has Its colony Of
bugs. During the summer the lady
bugs crawl all over the tree. feasting
on plant lice and the scale. and when
fall comes they congregate ut the base
of the tree. where they spend the win
ter. This preventive has worked SO
well with this man that his neighbors
have taken colonies of the bugs to
their own orchards.

NERVOUS TROUBLES
AND THE BLOOD
Rich Blood Means Healthy
Nerues as This BreWer
Maine, Woman Can
Testify.

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people? The answer to that ques-
ton explains why remedy that acts on
the blood can cure nervous troubles. 1t
explains why DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles III the blood
and the health of the nerves. The ner-
vous system receives its nourishment as
well as its medicine through the blood.
Let tho blood become thin, weak and
colorless and the nerves are starved
the victim is started on the road that
leads to nervous wreck. Nervous peo-
pie are pale people-but the pallor comes
irst. Enrich the blood and the nerves
are stimulated and toned up to do their
part of the work of the body.
Mrs. j. l.. Brennan, of No. Sd Parker
street, Brewer, Maine, whose husband
il employed on the Maine Central Rail
road, says:
For three years I suffered with ner-
vousness ard we5 confined to bed one

Not the least of the advantages Of

ABOUT BEET GROWING.

Many sections In the state of Michl-
gan are taking on new life as re-
suit OF the beet growing industry, in
which they have engaged. a friend
who has taken pains TO look into the
details of the sugar beet industry In
several localities in the state mention
ed makes a uniformly favorable report
of the prosperity which has come In
these beet growing neighborhoods.
One instance is reported Of a farmer
who paid 5000 down on forty acre
farm eight years ago. Last summer,
when seen. he had paid for the land in
full, had bought and paid for thirty
acres besides, had erected substantial
buildings, had all the machinery he
needed, was out of debt and worth
$500 more than he was six years
ago as the first two years he did not
know how to grow beets at profit.
When patches of beets of five acres or
less are grown the owner or renter
usually cares for them himself. III
more than this area, foreign families
are usually hired to look after the
crop, the price paid for doing the hard
work being usually about $50 per acre.
The beets fetch S. ton, and the aver
age yield Is about eight tons per acre,
though many fields yield more than
this A fact that is worthy of men
ton In connection with the growing
of beets Is that land on which they
are grown is kept free from weeds and
put In the best of tilth and In ideal
shape for beans or clover, either of
which used alternately with beets and
potatoes or small grain constitutes an
excellent crop rotation. The lowest
value placed on the fresh beet pulp as
feed for dairy cows Is 81 per ton,
while many who have used 1t consider
1t worth So or SO. Any person living
within convenient shipping distance
of a beet sugar factory would do well
to write to its manager for informa-
ton about the growing Of the crop,
while farmers who have grown beets
for such factory several seasons will
be in shape to give definite and un-
biased information as to the returns
which may be reasonably expected.

HARD llcKs AT THE START.


There Is no method Of handling the
potato field which will put the soil in
so good condition or kill so many
weeds as thorough work with the drag
during the two or three weeks follow
ing planting. Assuming that the ground
has been given thorough preparation
for the reception Of the Seed it is well
to walt six or seven days, depending
somewhat on the weather conditions,
until the weed seed gets nicely germi-
mated and Is beginning to show above
ground. 1t Is well to give the field a
very thorough narrowing, letting the
drags lap and then giving the same
treatment at right angles. Again. as
soon as the potatoes begin to show
above ground the patch should be gone
over with four shovel cultivator and
the rows given shallow covering,
which will start new batch Of weeds
to sproutlng. At the end Of four or
FIVE days. when the potato sprouts be-
gin to break through this covering, the
field may be gone over again with the
harrow crossways of the rows, which
will again swat the weeds in the row
and not injure the young vines to
speak Of Later on cultivation should
be given, and If the soil is mellow and
weeds are still terminating another
treatment may be given with the har-
row when the vines have got past the
brittle state. Methods similar to the
above will not only put the soil In fine
condition for the growth Of the crop.
but will reduce the weed pest to a

tory as a result of this weed cam

PIOW USED IN STATE

D. R. Jones of Genoa was in this
city yesterday and gave a little of
the early history of Nevada. he be-
ing the first man to ever pillow in
the state. The pillow that he used
was made from wagon tires and the
work was done in the fall of 1853
at Genoa. The ranch then started
was owned by Colonel Roose and
Mr.. Barnet and is now the property
of Campbell and Frey.
There were no courts in those
days and the disputes that arose
were settled by arbitration and it
was a common occurrence for two
men to go to a third party with
their troubles and. have him settle
the question. Later on they elected
a Justice of the peace and his only
duties were TO ofiiclate at weddings.
