Ths sweet potato flea beetle is q
small. bronzed or brassy- brown shin
Ing beetle. about one-sixteenth of an
inch in length, very active, somewhat
chunky, with deeply r!dgcd or striated
wing-covers, all these characters, eS-
cept the general shape and bronzed
color, requiring a magnifying glass to
make out clearly. The hind legs Of
this beetle have the thighs very much
thickened or enlarged, 80 that 1t leaps
az readily as 1t flies, especially in the
sunny part Of the day. In the early
morning and evening and in wet or
cold cloudy weather, 1t Is less active
and may be readily taken on the
leaves. In size, general appearance
and methods of motion. it resembles
the flea beetle of the common or white
potato, and 1t is supposed by some
growers to be the same. It has to-
tally different breeding and feeding
habits, however, and the bronze color
Of the sweet potato species contrasts
strongly with the dead black Of the
other.
These beetles live through the win
ter in rubbish, under logs, stones or,
among masses Of leaves and other We
getation. and specimens may be found
at almost any time during that season
by sitting such rubbish along the edge
Of woods, under fence rails. along
roadsides and in similar places.
When the weather becomes really
warm, these beetles leave their win
ter quarters and seek food.
As soon as the plants are set In the
field the beetles attack them and be-
gin feeding. Their eating is peculiar

Do not allow any one to convince
you that there is only one way to rear
little chicks successfully. Some meth
DDS may be better than others but the
fact is that there are half a dozen
methods, any one Of which Is as good
as many Of the others.
Several times I have known some
young and enthusiastic fancier to set
out to show that feeding dry feed
was better or worse than feeding moi
stoned feed. In not a single instance
has the trial proved anything.
was called upon to decide which
Of two flocks Of chicks were the best.
after one of them had been brought
up on moistened feed and the other
on dry feed exclusively, and found
it impossible to detect any difference
worth mentioning. In poiI of eco
nomy there does not seem to be any
difference.
The result in my case has been that
I feed dry feed all the time because
1t is easiest to do SO. When chicks
are fed dry feed there is no mussy
work of mixing mashes nor Is there
any fermented feed left over.
The whole secret Of rearing chicks
successfully, as far as feeding is con-
cerned, seems to be to see that they
are kept full all the time.
I reared flock Of chicks last sum-
mer on wheat and rolled barley ex-
clusively. The only feed beside these
two grains they got was some green
mustard tops and sprouted wheat, as
green feed was exceedingly scarce.
The mustard tops grew, up along an
Irrigation ditch and were fed to the
chicks. No beef scraps no milk, just
wheat and barley. Most of the, time
the chicks had sprouted wheat to dig
for. Wheat was scattered thickly, COW
cred lightly and the soil kept damp.

FOR THE FARMERS WIFE.

Spraying slop pals or garbage cans
with kerosene is said to destroy the
larva of both flies and mosquitoes.
Perfect cleanliness in the kitchen,
the free use of borax or ammonia in
washing floors, tables and sinks will
go a long way in preventing trouble
from flies.
There seems to be a wide spread
desire to fight the house fly and mos
quito and every housekeeper is cal
led upon to aid in the battle In order
to stay the advance Of disease and
death.
Even after preventives are used
the fly will often find a way to enter
the home and care should be taken
that the means employed to kill them
be not dangerous to human beings.
especially where there are children.

ADVERTISING PAYS
FAMOUS ROYCROFTER TELLS WHAT IT IS AND WHAT
 TT DOES


 "Advertising is the education of the public, as to who you are, and what you have to offer in the way of skill, talent or commodity" says Ebert Hubbard in the June "Philistine." The importance of the new science of ad- vertising has never been more thor oughly emphasized than by Fra El- bertus in the current number of this little magazine He says in part:
 "eLt the truth be known about your business.
 "The only man who should not ad- vertise is the one who has nothing to offer in the way of service, or one who can not make good.
 "All such should seek the friendly shelter of oblivion, where dwell those who, shouded in Stygian shades, fore gother gloom, and are out of the game.
 Not to advertise is to be nominated for membership in the Down-and- Out Club"
