CABBAGE WORM PEST.
Cold Water Cure Paralyxss tho Insect
Dangerous to Use Poisons.

Mason city, July S.--The cabbage
worm Is much IN evidence this year.
and unless tho pest Is handled without
gloves many good patches VIII be
ruined. Yau can not use the safne
methods In dealing with the cabbage
worm that are used to exterminate po-
tato bugs, az it would endanEer hu-
man lives: but there is simple ana
effective remedy that will do the work.
1t Is simply this: In the heat of the
day sprinkle the cabbages with cold
waterloo water Is oest-but cola
water from the we'll will do the work
The best result are obtained when the
sun Is shining IN the middle OF the DAY.
The cold water paralyzes the worm
and before 1t RECEIVERS 1t is killed by
the heat The water will not injure
tho plants and is sure death TO the
worms. Another valuable suggestion on
the subject of cabbage culture Is 10
prevent the heads from bursting
when fully matured. The Austrians'
who are excellent gardeners, overcome
this by but slightly lifting the roots
with a spading fork after the head mas
been fully formed This will stop the
growth and the head VIII remain
