Who wants to accumulate money needs to work and plan. Needs to take advantage of each little help which will enable him to do just a little better than he has been doing.
 Men who have given the check ac- count plan" fair and impartial trial find it real help. A very material aid in caring for their income and in building for the future.
 The ''small purchase temptation" " makes it very hard to accumulate any certain sum by keeping money in your pocket or hiding it around the house probably that has been your trouble.

TO PREVENT POTATO scAe.
Treatment of Seed With FormaIn and
Rotation of Crops Will Hold
1t in Check.

Scab is a very common fungus dis
ease of the potato and undoubtedly
is doing much to lower the annual
yields of this crop. But il is COM
paratively easy to control this disease.
Treatment of the seed and rotation of
crops will hold it in check. To treat
seed potatoes for scab, mix up solu-
ton OF one pint of formalin in thirty
gallons of water. This formalin can
be purchased at any drug store. 1t is
not poisonous. Soak the uncut tubers
in this formalin solution for two hours,
then remove them to place where
they will dry.
1t is a good plan to sterilize the
baskets or bags in which the treated
potatoes are to be held, as otherwise
they may be reinfected. This treat
ment should be given just few days
before the potatoes are planted. Any
treated tubers that are not planted
may be used for food and given to
stock. Rotate the crops that are
grown; that is, to put some other crop
on the land that was in potatoes last
year, and put potatoes on land that
did not have any on it last year. This
is especially important on soils that
are favorable to the growth of the scab
disease.

FALL Time. TO GET RID OF GRASSHOPPERS

lowing: During the last of Septem'
ber and in October the females will
be found depositing eggs, a process
which may be easily observed in al
most any pasture. They select paths
or places where the earth is packed
quite bard by the tramping of stock;
the abdomen is pushed down into the
earth, the sharp egg guides serving
as a sort of augur to bore into the
ground. The eggs are placed at a
depth of one-half to one inch beneath
the surface and are held together in
a COMPACT mass by a glutinous sub.
stance which hardens and serves as
protective covering for the eggs dur
ing the winter The Matching of the
eggs does not occur until May or June
of the coming season."
Fall or winter plowing will turn
these egg masses up where they will
freeze during the winter or Ha eaten
by birds, chickens, ETC. Disking, while
not as good as plowing, will also serve
to destroy grasshopper eggs.
Grasshoppers are never yery numer.

summer should be dry there is pretty
apt to be plenty of them, inasmuch as
they are so plentiful this summer.

About the usual number of elk died in Jacksons
Hole last winter" | asked Mr. Crawford. an old
resident OF the valley, about what percentage OF
the elk calves died last winter. He said, 80 per
cent" next asked Mr.. George Wilson, another
old resident the same question. He said, 'S5 per
cent" Mr. Kelly said IS per cent. The calf crop
each year is about 80 per cent OF the WHOLE while
there are very few young elk growing up.
At Mr. Crawfords place there was fed about

ranch, strung out for nearly a mile in length and
watched carefully, counting just II spikes Among
the elk fed on Kellys ranch and my place to-
gether numbering 1000 head, counted about 25
spike bulls.

year says About Is per cent. of the calves and
a few old elk perished last winter" Yet the young

Are the elk degenerating? Are the calf elk

calves to succumb to the rigors of winter? These
questions that interesting to study at this
time.
At birth elk calves are probably half males.
Now, among the three punches of elk fed near my
place, probably about 1000 head. not to exceed
5 per cent. Of them are males. 1t is true that
many bulls winter high up in the hills away from
the herds, and that these are not to be found in
the valley now; yet it is a fact that there is
great disparity of males, of all ages. While at
birth SO per cent. are males yet now thefe is not
to exceed 10 per cent. males. Non-residents in
variably kill males for trophies. Residents kill
the larger portion Of females, which leaves the
ratio about even, so per cent. of each is
shot. Now, the question is, what becomes of this
40 per cent. of males?
Buffalo Jones, at one time official hunter in the
park, to exterminate the mountain lions, told me
he had learned that lions had preference for
male elk, as around lions den he had found 10
dead calf elk, killed by the lion, and all were
males.
Some years ago when there was practically no
law on the game few of the settlers in the val
ley conceived the idea of catching elk calves to
sell to parks and other places. In this took

consider all of them contrary to nat

However, nature may be assisted at
this period to complete the molting
rapidly and at an early date. The
first step should be to get the poultry
house and yards in a perfectly clean
and sanitary condition. Too many
poultry keepers forget that clean
and sanitary place is needed for fowls
in the late summer. Dirty and un-
sanitary conditions cause the fowl to
be diseased or to lack vigor. The
feathers also become sitter and have
tendency to stick tighter. If fowl

PLENTY OF cHlNcH BUGS.

Considerable complaint is being
heard from many places in this stats
about the prevalence of chinch bugs.
They made their appearance in the
wheat and from there they have gone
into the corn fields, in some places
doing much injury. Some farmera
have raised the question whether they
should SOW wheat this fall because of
the large number of bugs. We would
say, yes, SOW wheat because climatic
conditions next season may be such
that there will be no chinch bugs.
However, we would advise that all
rubbish and weeds along fences be
cleaned up, for the adult chinch bugs
pass the winter under any objects that
offer protection from wet and cold.
Remove the corn fodder from the field
before spring and disturb the winter
quarters of the bugs as much as pos.

I'VE had never used Postum till last

package one evening just to try it. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked it.
well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. It looked weak and
didn't have very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air Of exceptancy. It certain
ly did give him great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave 1t another trial,

fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all so pleased with it
that we have used 1t ever since.
