The potato beetle-This is a gnaW-
ing insect and familiar to every one.
The simplest method for controlling
it completely consists of an applica-
ton of Paris green. It should be re-
snembertd that the soluble arsenic
contained in Paris green is dangerous
to foliage and this poison should not
be used undiluted. When properly
made it can be used with absolute
safety to the foliage of potato and is
the best poison for rapid destruction
of the bsetles. It can be used either
wet or dry.~Nhen used as spray, it
is made as follows:
Paris green one pound; quick lime
three pounds; water 125 gallons.
The lime must not be omitted as
this will prevent the burning of the
foliage.
How to Prepare.
Mix the Paris green with a small
quantity of water to form paste and
pour it into barrel OF water. Slake
the lime to the consistency of White
wash and also add it to tn barrel OF
water. Stir With paddle and the
spray is ready.
In the small family garden mix a
tablespoon full Of Paris green with a
little water to form a paste, then add
it to a 2 1-2 to 3 gallon pail full of
water. Then slake a lump of stone
lime about the size of a mans fist and
also add it to the pail of water. Stir
and the spray is complete. Apply with
spray pump or with a whisk broom
Paris green may be used dry. 4

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Though
every one of Uncle Sans sea fighters
is not afraid of war, it has just come
to light that there is one sort of
conflict which they are DESTROYS of
avoiding.
1t is with the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals that the
navy department fears controversy.
Just as the sea-dogs hate to think of
the w. C. T. u. because of that organ
ization's activity In attempting to
break the time-honored precedent of

partment dislike to run counter to the
known antipathies of the S. P. c. A.
When the plans were made for sub
iecting the Texas-or the San Marcos,
as she was subsequently designated
to heavy gun fire, it was planned to
place some animals on board, espec-
tally in the gun turrets, to determine
whether life was destroyed by the
conclusion caused by the impact OF
shells.
News that the department planned
to utilize cats and chickens in this
test leaked out. Immediately there
were rumblings of protest from the di
rection of the S. P. G. A. AS the
mutterings of protest threatened tt

And Boss Jake was conspicuous yes
terday by his absence It is safe
bet that a majority of those few fans
who strayed to the park yesterday,
went there for the purpose of getting
a look at this old-time star, and they
called for him when the game started
with youngster on first base. But
Manager Jake was not there and the
fans who expected to get a look at
him were disappointed.
On the ether hand the Herald con-
siders the team capable of making
other G. A. clubs hustle 1t says:
Jake Beckley trotted out his Han
nibal hopefuls before the gaze of the
Quincy fans on Saturday and Sunday,
bringing one batch on Saturday and
sending the other Sunday, so that
the Quincy fans saw nearly every
man who will try for berth on his
team in action. The mighty Jacob
has gathered likely bunch of young
sters and it is cinch that if the
rest Of the managers are within the
limit-$1, 400 a month with the lid
riveted down with triplicate affidavits
Jake is going to make the rivals hus-
tie for the bunting. He has the pitch
ers and enough crack fielders to make
strong club and the whole bunch
can hit. With the exception of hall
dozen innings in the two games
when the old heads made the kids
look foolish through their experience
and science, the two clubs put up q
classy game OF ball and with little
| more training Jake is certain to put
a splendid team in the field against
the other c.. A. clubs.

Of picking the veterans to pieces with

slipping about the chances of the vet
eran southpaw, Rube Birch. Let; it
be known here that Rube is about as
classy-classy is poor to apply to
Burch-as any of the youngsters Belt
has brought to the front and In the
face OF present opposition he is likely
to be retained
In point of time Birch is the oldest
ball player in the Central Association.
He came to Keokuk about 1905, and
has remained fixture on the team
since that time, working in more than
one-ffth of the games every year.
Burch is steady, reliable man, with
the luck very often breaking his way.
He is southpaw with control. a fair
hitter, but slow fielder Rube's
home was in Doe Run, Mo-, but during
the last few years he has taken UP
both winter and summer residence

lessly alarmed Though one cat lost
all his nine lives at once, the only
other casualty was the right leg of
a rooster. Navy officers go 80 far as
to claim that there were no fatalities,
and that there was no proof of the
cats death. He simply disappeared.
Less biased testimony, however, al
leges that poor kitty was simply an
initiated, and blown to smithereens
SO quickly that there was no shock
AS for the rooster, he has been fitted
with wooden leg by the crew of the
Tallahassee and wakes the sailors
every morning an hour before their
usual time. So annoying is this habit,
which springs from the ROSTERS pride
in his new leg. that those to whom
\ S. P. c. A. means nothing fearlessly
wish his head had been sacrificed to
science, instead of his leg.
AS matter of fact. however, the
placing of the cats and chickens. on
/ the San Marcos has satisfactorily dem
onstrated that the dangers from con-
1cussion have been greatly exaggerated
4 This is one OF the many lessons which
navy officers are already drawing
from the San Marcos tests.
Leaving aside technicalities, what
has impressed the navy officers most.
after the examination of the hopeless
ruin of the old battleship, is the i'm
portance of striking the first blow
in naval engagement Experts are
today agreed that the United States
must go even further in its policy
of concentrating all its training to-
ward the one aim of getting its battle
ships into action before their oppon-
ents can fire.
: The damage done to the San Marcos
, represented ten minutes work of he
guns, If the shooting had been under
. battle conditions, where broadsides
. would have been fired two or three
times a minute. In the San Marcos
: tests. no effort was made in the first
few salvos, or broadsides, to hit the
vessel. When the guns were aimed
at her. however, though from poin,
: more than six miles distant, the first
two salvos were sufficient to sink her
Her sides were ripped open in half {
dozen places, her superstructure sho
< away, and only the fact that she was
floating in shallow water prevented
her from disappearing below the sur
face.
AS the big guns with which dread
naughts are now armed can shoe

: navy officers have concluded that tn,

That is, they must be taught to esti

means of effecting this is to max,
d the fighting masts higher, thus en-
aiding them to see further from TIL,

Officers also make the prediction
that the victor in the next great nava
3. engagement will suffer but little dam
age. This is a oorollary of the theor
:. that the ship which lands the frs
