FIND WAY TO KILL
LUCERNE WEEVlL

That the lIcerne weevil can be
eXterminated has been proven in
the southern part. of Utah, where
the pest is probably more prevalent
than in any other locality, says the
Salt Lake Herald-Republican. One
rancher in Washington county who
has more that 1000 acres planted
to alfalfa has been successful in
Kidding his property of the pest
that within recent years has caused
SO much devastation. The plan is
to wait until the lucerne has attain
ed height of from four to eight
inches, and then turn a flock of
sheep into the field, and allow them
to eat every particle of the plants
right down to the roots.
The lucerne weevil is very hardy.
They are frequently found under
boards that have laid on the ground
for some time. The frost does not
effect the bug and in the spring it
comes forth hale and hearty.
After the egg is laid the weevil
burrows into the ground, where it
remains during the winter months.
When the alfalfa commences to get
nice and juicy the bug climbs into
the stem and deposits its eggs in
the head of the lucerne.
The plan of turning sheep into
the field to feed on the weevii
infected alfalfa not only eXtermin-
ates the older insects, but it cleans
out the young stock. The sheep
eat out the luc rrne and eggs of the
insect and trample out the old
bugs.
1t will take some time to do this
however, but by constantly destroy
ing the young. the pest will be ,,ex-
terminated eventually. Those
ranchers who have tried this 'ex-
pertinent lost the first alfalfa
growth of from four to eight
inches, but they scarcely noticed
any diminution by the end of the
season. But the lucerene must be
eaten down to the ground to kill
the bug.
Care must be taken not to place
flock of hungry sheep ina wet
field of alfalfa, or it might prove
disastrous to the flock.

Free Liver
Remedy

II is we'll TO stop physical all
ment at the first signs OF its approach
and that is especially true of liver
trouble, which can eventually give
rise to so many serious complications.
Many have liver trouble and imagine
it is indigestion, and hence take the
wrong remedy.
When the liver does not store up suf-
ficient gastric juices it becomes sluggish,
and in this way disturbs the stomach and
bowels. with which it is supposed to work
in harmony. Then comes the sallow
complexion, the pimply face. the dull
pain in the forehead. the thinning Of
the blood. etc. A very quick and sensible
way to stop the trouble as well as 10
cure it is by the use OF Dr. Caldwels
Syrup Pepsin. which contains ingredients
especially intended to promote the ac-
tiVity of the liver.
Among the many thousands who have
written the doctor about the results
achieved with his remedy. and who are
glad to make the facts public so that
