SIGHTSEEING IN

tremendous enterprise on the part of the
Hungarian people.
Although educated in Italy as a civil en-
gineer, Kossuth is a passable sculptor
and artist. He has made several busts
and paintings of his father. His home
abounds with mementoes of the great
patriot all of which Me showed to Mr..
Roosevelt with evident pride. After
Roosevelt's departure Kossuth spoke IN
dorsing what Count Apponyi had said in
the historic house of parliament, namely,
that Mr. Roosevelt is one of the lead
ing efficient forces for the modern i'm
provement of the world
'ROOSEVELT-A CHAMPION"
Here in this building, where Mr. Roose-
welt was received by the Interparlia-
nlsntary union, Count Apponyi made a
stirring speech of welcome, in the course
of which he described Roosevelt as typi-
flying public honesty and the champion
of moral regeneration. declaring the eff
fects of his attitude are felt not only in
America, but throughout the civilized
world.
These sentiments evoked tremendous
enthusiasm on the part of the Hunga-
rians. who have taken Roosevelt to their
| hearts seeking to obtain his sympathy in
their struggle for independence from
Austria.
Mr.. Roosevelt naturally cannot inter
vene in the domestic politics of the dual
monarchy and he was careful in every
phrase to avoid offending Austria. But
he spoke glowingly OF Hungary's past
and its tremendous influence upon the
world in beating back by the dauntless
courage of its warriors the hordes of bar
barians which sought to overwhelm Eu-
rope.
Elsewhere Mr.. Roosevelt has shown a
remarkable knowledge of Hungarian his
tory, exciting the admiration of the peo-
pie and increasing his popularity by his
apt illusions to the heroes and battles
which illumine the pages Of Hungary's
history.

BUDAPEST. April 19.-Iateresting, even
spectacular, was the kaleidoscope day
which Colonel Roosevelt spent in this
Hungarian capital The event which will
peculiarly appeal to the people of Ameri-
ca was the meeting of the former presi-
dent and Francis Kossuth, son of the
distinguished Hungarian patriot.
After q luncheon at the palace of Arch
Duke Joseph of Austria, Mr.. Roosevelt
was conveyed by automobile to the home
OF Kossuth. Mr. Roosevelt was intro
duced to this man, whose name still
spells great power, by Count Apponyi.
former minister. Kossuth was Ill, else
undoubtedly he would have called first
on Mr.. Roosevelt.
Francis Kossuth is a man upwards OF
60 years of age with a heavy and rather
f1abby appearance. He has none of the
strength of his great father, which, per-
haps, is the reason why the party which
bears his name has not achieved the
success 1t otherwise might have done.
Kossuth told Mr.. Roosevelt Immediately
after the introduction that all Americans
who came to Budapest called on him be-
cause of the veneration in which they
have held his father.

THE LIVE HISTORY OF THE BOT
FLY.
W. T. H., Dacula, Ga, writes Please
tell me what to do for a mule with bots.
There is no treatment that will destroy
bots effectively without injuring the di-
gestive apparatus of the mule. II is COM
monty enormously believed that bots eat
holes through the walls of the stomach,
and the presence of bots leads the novice
TO conclude that death was due to their
presence. Bots are found in practically
all horses and mules. The adult, as yo;,
know, is about the size of honey bee,
and is frequently seen flying about in the
summer time. She deposits her eggs on
the hair of the leg and breast, and th'
horse I'm biting them from the hair draws
them into the mouth where they hatch and
the young larvae find their way into the
stomach. There they remain until the
spring, when they are excreted and bur
row into the ground and develop. Care
full and prolonged study of the bot has
failed to show that it Injuries the animal
to any appreciable extent, though occa-
sionally 1t may cause irritation OF the
stomach. The only practical remedy for
preventing infection with bots is to de-
stroy them whenever they appear about
the horses or mules and carefully scrape
the eggs from the hair of the legs with
sharp knife at least once a week. The
giving of medicine to destroy bots is
neither satisfactory nor advisable.

One of the most essential things in Sc
curing a large yield of corn is to supply
the soil with vegetable matter. This may
be done in one of two ways, either by
blowing under green crops or by the uW
of yard manure. Where you can secure
as much as ten tons of manure per acre.

amount can be secured, say three or four
tons per acre, open up burrows four
or five feet apart. depending on the nat

manure in the drill row. Next scatter
the fertilizer used on top of the manure
and mix the manure and fertilizer to-

other implement which will penetrate
the soil to a considerable depth and loos-

your case OF at least 600 to 800 pounds
of high grade fertilizer; not less than
4-10-4 for corn. This may seem somewhat
high to you in nitrogen. but unless you
have made too much stalk in the past
and are using a very large, growthy
variety of corn. it will not be too much
to use After you have mixed the ma
nure and fertilizer together in the drill
row. level the ground down with n
planker or any other implement which
will give you a level surface, and plant
the corn, say is inches to IL feet apart
in the drill row You should use only the
most carefully selected seed. Keep the
crust on the surface broken with a
weeder or harrow, and cultivate shall
low after every rain. If the corn has
a good green color and grows vigorously
throughout TIE season, no more fertilizer
need be applied. Should it he stunted by
