Bell is also a politician, but owing to
circumstances beyond his control his
record is not so brilliant. Sometimes
men score victories in defeat. He cer-

Johnson is probably the ADLER of the

people admire. He certainly has the
courage of his convictions, and the peo-

HOME ECONOMICS.
miss Juniata l.. Shepperd. M A., Min
nesota College IF Agriculture.

Last June seven young women we're
graduated from the Home Economics
course of the Minnesota College Of hs
rlculture. rms course prepares the
young women for responsible posi-
tions and gives them a sufficiently
broad grOundW Ork for teaching sue
cessfully In high schools, normal
schools or colleges 1t also renders
them efficient in things pertaining to
right living and special home duties.
This college course is superior to the
short, or teachers course, because sur
fiCient time is devoted to it to enable
graduates TO lay a solid foundation
upon which the work of succeeding
years may be successfully conducted.
The Home Economics course com
prises domestic science, domestic
economics and domestic art. Domes-
tic science only is here considered for
the purpose of showing how it puts
teachers in possession of knowledge
that will enable them, in teaching, to
so apply to home duties, the principles
learned in school, that housework, in
stead Of being drudgory, will be raised
to a plane of science and pleasure.
Physiology, anatomy, bacteriology,
chemistry and physics are all taught
in the schools as sciences, the aim be
ing to brightc3 the intellect, cultivate
the mind and broaden the horizon of
thought. Domestic science teaches
- |,
promotion of good health and economy
in Going home work The laws Of
health arc suggested in anatomy and
Physiology. and thoroughly grounded
in domestic science lessons on home
and public hygiene The women Of a
sister state nave established school
OF life in which they give instruction
in plrcnthood The young women who
take the domestic science course at
the Minnesota College of Agriculture,
being retained for 1t.
Domestic science offers basic know-
edge which renders young women
capable of meeting the obligations and
discharging the duties common to all
homemakers 1t prepares young wo-
men for the greatest usefulness in the
noble profession of homemaking,
which the great majority of them
choose; AMI TO accomplish this they
must be trained to perform all home
duties easily and effectively. To those
who teach 1t offers such additional
training rs is necessary for the proper
presentation of the subject to others.

Cabbage Worm Is
Very Destructive.
+ Paris Green Recommended as
: the Best lnsectcide for De
stroying Pest

The cabbage worm is destructive
pest, but there is no neet Ct losing
crop OF cabbages through X rayagea.
In August the worms are especially
active, and thousands OF litue ~fil"
butterflies will hatch and again lay
their eggs TO develop In a few days
into rayenous worms. Full grown
soon attalns. the chrysalis stage again
occurs, and in week or two another
crop of butterflies develop to con-
tinue procreation and injurc the crop.
Paris green IS deadly poison to
The worm Comparatively little is re-
ouired to Kill it and most eniomoi-
ogists recommend it as the best in
secticide to use, though eminent au-
thorities differ as to the amount re-
auIred. One would use one pound Of
Paris green u $50 gallons Of water
Others wond use three pounds to
fifty gallons Of water. All would ap-
ply 1t as a spray. Professor Wash
burn Of the Minnesota EntomoloGicai
Division says arscnatc Of lead Of the
same strength three pounds 10 fifty
gallons Of Water) can be used with
the ADVANTAGE over Paris green of its
sticking lonSer on the leaves. A quart
of soft soap or eight gallons of strong
soap suds should be used In every
fifty gallons of solution to insure its
spreading well over the leaves.
As cabbages head from the inside
the various experiment stations agree
with Profo- sor Washburn that the
amount used on a single plant is so
minute that there is absolutely no
dancer to human beings resulting
from this use of these poisons. In
New Jersey an experiment was made
with a heavy application of Paris
green a week before picking the cab
bages. After removing leaves that
are ordinarily taken off before pre-
pairing the cabbage for the table
chemical analysis was made of the
edible portion. Not trace Of poison
was found Fearing that a mistake
may be made by careless handling it
has been advised that for two or
three weeks before picking half an
ounce Of pyrethrum to gallon Of
water, or kerosene emulsion, may be
used with satisfactory results.
