pots Of Glass.

A process has Recently been invent
led in France to produce glass flower
pots at very low cost. The pots are
like ordinary flower pots, both In sire
and shape. They are said to be more
substantial and have proved to resist
the pressure of ice or frozen earth
better. Being handsome in appear
ance, they are fine for potted sale
coverings that soon get soiled When
sunk into the earth they remain clean,
as neither dirt nor moss adheres The
inside walls being smooth, plants can
easily be slipped out, and they are,
therefore, excellent for potting plants
with many roots. The thickness OF
the glass, with the consequent lack OF
porosity, Is also said to be an advan-
tago, for the air remains sweet longer
in a glass pot than In an ordinary pot,
and there Is less danger Of drying out.
While the initial cost OF glass pots Ia
somewhat higher, they are really
cheaper in the end, because moro

A Really Serious Pest.

The coming of warm weather and
the blossoming of the dandelions
will be but the harbinger OF that
serious pest, that menace to health
and life, the fly. The fly season viii
be on us before we are aware, and
the early part of fly time is the mos
profitable and satisfactory time of
the fly hunting season. Every fly
killed early may mean the saving of
a human life. Every fly destroyed
when they first appear means me
prevention of the birth OF about
100000 more flies.
Prevention Better Than Fight.
A policy of prevention Of fly birth
Is better than a constant fight with
and against the myriads of flies sure

SOME SUGGESTIONS
BY ILLINOIS FARMERS
INSTITUTE FOR SPRING


It VIII require but few warm
bright spring days of growing
weather, 10 show that the dandelion,
with its early. bright yellow Llos-
SONS has not been attacked since
last we met it, by pestilence, famine,
food or ire. The family will be just
rs LARGELY increased as usual, and
where green yeivety lawns are de.
,ircd, there this plague and pest will
indicate its intrusion True the dan
,deion serves the purpose Of getting
many hCuschol2ers out into the open
air and sunshine during the spring
days, that would otherwise stay in =
doors were it not for It's hated pres
enee, and It helps to teach many O
sm All boy patience and industry, but
for all this, we could Well dispense
with its smiling yellow face.
The Old Way and the New.
The usual method practiced when
AbiS 'lctlIui dpPNal LIE pidHt AldhtS
its presence known Is to get a knife,
or take a ap1ld and deliberately cut
its head off, Most plants when Dr.
capitated are done for, but not so
the dandelion. Unless its head is
taken off much lower than is gener-
ally done, it smilingly sprouts a new
head and goes on growing as though
nothing had happened.
During the past two years people
have tried various spray mixtures for
killing these pests. Excellent re-
suits have come from these expert
ments. Spraying does not always
mean absolute destruction, but it
does mean the killing of thousands
of towering stalks and the preven-
ton Of the formation of millions Of
seeds
The Minnesota and the Illinois
Experiment Stations have had splen-
did success with the use of sui
plate Of iron (copperas) spray.
How 1t Is Done.
Spray the lawn, or badly infested
, area, every ten days with a spray
solution, made by dissOlvtng one and
three-quarters pounds of copperas In
gallon of water Apply this with
a sprayer that has a strong pressure,
SO that a fine mist-like spray is
formed, Use when the day Is warm
and bright, If the first few spray
I ings seem to produce no effect make
the solution slightly stronger The
lawn grass may be somewhat black
ened, but no permanent damage re-
suits. BE careful to keep spray off
of cement walks as it discolors them
As the iron sulphate costs but two
or three cents per pound 1t Is easy to
see that this method of dandelion
eradication is cheap, simple, easy of
application, and above all else effec-
| tive.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
A Home Snuggery.

There should always be one spot
in the home sacred TO the best inter-
ests of the family. A room full OF
comfort, where the sofa is made to
lounge on. and the chairs to tilt
back, and the carpet TO dig the toes
in where bills and chickering's are
alike forbidden, and the straight
laced propriety of the dining room
or parlor can be abandoned for
romps and story telling; where the
dust doesn't show and nothing is too
fine to use, and at whose door all the
burdens drop off as they will some
/ time at the gate of heayen-a room
whose speech is silver and whose
silence is golden-where the tran
guilty of a summer Sabbath is brok-
en- only by sweet murmurs of love
and confidence-where a happy cat
curls herself to repose in blissful af-
! finity with the peaceful house dog;
la place where the wicked cease from
! troubling and the weary are at rest.
A sort of moral lean-to which ad-
| Joins the house beautiful. Here
Jacobs ladder is planted, and angels
ascending and descending bring with
them endless measures of peace.
Every home should have this one
place of retreat.
1t is no impossible place. Love is
the architect; content its atmos-
phere. We find it in our friends
homes, often where least expected
and are surprised because it is never
a show place. 1t is simply golden
room in a wooden house.

Fashion.

Fashion kills more women than
toll and sorrow. Obedience to fash
ion is a greater transgression of the
laws of woman's nature, a greater
injury to her physical and mental
condition, than poverty and neglect.
The slave woman at her task will
live and grow old and see two or
three generations of her mistresses
fade and pass away The washer
woman. with scarce a ray of hope to
cheer her in her toll, will live to see
her fashionable sisters die all around
her. The kitchen maid is hearty and
strong when her lady has to be
nursed like a sick baby. 1t is the
sad truth that fashion-pampered
women are almost worthless for al
the ends of human life; they have
but little force of character; they
have still less power of moral will
and quite as little physical energy
They live for no great purpose il
life, they accomplish no worthy ends
They are only doll forms in thu

write no books, they set no virtuou
examples of rich and womanly life

THE INITIATIVE MILLAGE BILL.

The initiative millage tax bill, pro-
viding for a six-tenths OF a mill tax,
four-sevenths for the use of the agri-
cultural college, and three-sevenths
for the use of the university, and
providing also for single board OF
regents, was prepared by joint
committee from the governors spec
ial commission appointed to solve
Oregon's higher educational prob
lem, and from the boards of regents
of the two institutions working in
conjunction with the governor and
with the presidents OF the two insti-
tutions, and is offered as a substitute
for all the present legislative bills
for support and government of the
two institutions.
This bill does not increase the
average rate of taxation for the sup
port of the two institutions as shown
during the last ten years.
The state of Washington is at pres
ent paying for the same purposes
seventeen-hundred of a mill more
than the Oregon bill calls for: name
ly, forty-five-hundredt of a mil
for the university and thirty-two
hundredths of mill for the agricul
tural college.
The growth of the two institution
will certainly keep pace with tn
growth of wealth in the sttae, as ha
been shown by the experience of al
other states using the millage basi
OF support.
This bill expressly repeals tn
100000 appropriations of the legii
lative session of two years ago, no
