Cabbage Worm.

The cabbage worm is much in evil
dence this year and unless the pest
is handled without gloves many
patches will be ruined. You cannot
use the same methods in dealing
with the cabbage worm that are
used to exterminate potato bugs, as
1t would endanger human lives, but
there is a simple and effective
remedy, one that we believe was first
thought out by NJ. II. Robinson,
that will do the work. 1t is simply
this: In the heat of the day, sprinkle
the cabbages with cold water-ice
water is best-bCt cold water from
the we'll will do the work. The best
results are obtained when the sun is
shining in the middle of the day.
The cold water paralyzes the worm
and before it RECEIVERS it Is killed by
the heat. The water will not injure
the plants and is sure death to the
worms. Another valuable suggestion
on the subject of cabbage culture is
to prevent the heads from bursting
when fully matured. The Austrians,
who are excellent gardeners, over
come this by slightly lifting the
roots with spading fork after the
head has been fully formed. This
will stop the growth and the head
will remain sound.-Waverly indie

A Pernlexing Situation.

Will hot weather make hens lay
bad eggs? This is the perplexing
question that a Third ward citizen
is trying to solve. He has a fine
flock of chickens and he sells the
eggs readily, disposing of them every
day so that none are carried over,
yet in the face of this he has one
customer who complains that three
or four out of every dozen are bad
The man who sold the eggs could
not understand this. inasmuch as
rome of the other customers COM
planned, but rather than argue the
question, the claim was made good.
When the customer put in an ap-
pearance last Thursday with the
regular complaint and went so far
as to say that one of the eggs had
a chicken in it, the dealer demand
ed go see the chick, as eggs from his
flock are not fertile and he wanted
to find out how the bird got into the
shell.-Waverly Independent.

Ships Honey to Cincinnati.

Tofield Lehman shipped a ton of
honey to a Cincinnati, Ohio custom
er Tuesday. The shipment repre-
sented about one half the output of
his apiary for this season. Mr.. Leh-
man is one of the successful bee
men of this part of the country and
every year the sale of honey nets
him a nice income. When the pro-
duct is put on the market it has
been taken from the comb and put
in cans. The package is labeled
Pure Honey and brings the high
est market price. The quality of the
honey sold by him is the best, as his
apiary is in the country and bees are
thus given wide range in which to
gather the sweets from which they
make the honey.-Elgin Echo.
