Sheer French crepe is used for many

PROTECTING Grain.

GTosbeaks sometimes steal corn
from cribs, but the remedy is obvious.
A lining Of small-meshed wire netting,
besides protecting tt contents of the
crib from birds, does greater service
by keeping out mice and rats.
Standing grain may be insured
against the attacks of small birds by
planting a few rows of miIIet on the
edge of the field. MilIet is prime

Hotbed Plants.

All plants grown in hotbeds should
be hardened off gradually and the last
two or three days the sashes should
be left up at night. Before transplant
ing, say three or four hours, water
freely. This will give the roots a
chance to absorb plenty of moisture,
cause the earth to adhere in a cIump
to the roots so that they are very lit

Good Road
& Farm Notes

Don't forget to plant few pumpkin
seeds.
A weedy pasture is an improbable
piece of property.
A NEEDLESS cornfeld is the sign of a
farmer who is proud of his calling.
Alfalfa may be put into the silo, and
it produces a fair quality of silage.
Pregnancy and milk production re-
quire rations relatively rich in pro-
TEN.
Celery may be transplanted to the
garden any time from May Is to
July l.
Rape is one of the best annual for
age crops for temporary spring and
fall pasture.
Hen manure is an excellent fer
tiIizer, but it is not the thing for the
potato ground.
The hired man who gets uD in the
morning without being called is worth
hanging on to.
A tanning mill will more than pay
for itself in one year on any $50 acres
Of land farmed.
The main thing is to decide TO build
a silo. After that you can begin TO
think about the kind.
Rape or rape with the small grains
for pasture offers an opportunity 10
save much hay and fodder.
Keep salt before the cows all the
time after they have gone onto pas
ture. It is better to use barrel salt
and to keep 1t in boxes under sheds o.
trees than rock salt. which Ein often

Little Shetland wool shawls are

The most practical thing which man
can do to control wheat bulb worms is
to burn the straw and stubble after
harvest, destroying the worms of the
second brood before they come out of
the straw to change into the fly form.
The Nebraska station suggests that
wheat planted in October is less liable
to trouble, although not entirely free.

aged in every possible way to multi
ply and spread over the country.
This little chap who appears so
lonely in the open field or in the rear
Of the stable, is one of the greatest
bug fighters in the world. He is proWl-
ing around the grass after game and
he gets it in vast numbers from the
enterprising ant to the lazy slug that
crawIs slowly from beneath a damp
stone
It is estimated that over $500, 100000
worth Of crops are destroyed annually
by insect pests. This great sum
would be doubled if it were not for the
toad and his allies, who keep up a
constant warfare against the encroach-
ing bug and worm, that are cheating
the farmer out of his just profits as
surely as the middleman is doing in
the cities.
1t is estimated that the average toad
is worth at least five dollars a year to
the farmers, as the creature during that
period has destroyed insects and thus
saved crops that are worth that
amount. A large toad has been known
to devour 100 rose beetles at a single
meal In the stomach Of one toad, rs
myriapods were found; in another, 55
army worms and another IS gypsy
moth caterpilIars. At another post
moTtem it was shown that the batra-
chan had just lunched upon 81 ants,
10 sowbugs, 3 spiders, 1 caterpillar
and 10 plant lice. At another time one
toad was seen to eat 35 large and full
grown celery worms in three hours,
while another accepted Sc flies, fed to
him in less than 10 minutes.

subject Of complaint in this district is
LochieVen castle, where Mary. queen
OF Scots, was imprisoned and from
when she escaped, while the monas-
terry on st. Serf island and Burleigh
castle on the shores of Lochleven are
especially mentioned in the evidence.
To the credit of American tourists
but little Of this destruction is charged
10 them.
Education Of the travelling tourist
and Sightseer in regard TO the need of
absolute protection OF these antiQui-
ties, interesting alike in America and
the mother country, is urged. and. as
a partial correction, the opinion is px-
pressed that a greater degree Of pub
LEFTY would bring about a mutual eff
fort toward better preservation.
The Dunfermline abbey, in which
Scottish Americans are specially inter
