pounds of arsenate of lead to the acre on the plants. If you use paris green, dilute it with equal quantities of cheap flour, at the same rate, i. e., five pounds to the acre.
 Good shallow cultivation, lots of jt and clean culture, is one of the best preventives. When there is grass in the field, which is their natural food plant, the worms eat the grass and then go to the plant. Get rid of the grass. Don't lay-by as early this season"
 Some valuable suggestions are also contained in a recent bulletin of the U. $. Department of Agriculture, ad- dressed to the farm demonstrators. It especially recommends the use of arsenate of lead, unmixed with flour or lime, in preference to paris green, eefore the crop is fully matured, be- cause the arsenate of lead does not burn the leaves as does paris green and other poisons when the crop is young. The bulletin recommends two pounds to the acre. The amount used is not so essential as getting started when the caterpillars first appear. For dusting sacks, eight-ounce duck or similar material will be found satisfactory. Arsenate of lead is a violent poison, so do not allow the stock to graze on the foliage where it has been applied. When the crop has fully matured one pound of paris green with 25 pounds of lime applied through cheese cloth is recommended. One man on 9 horse between two rows can cover 20 acres a day.

Arkansas farmers may expect three or four broods of the grass worm" or fall army worm this sea- son. The present brood is likely the second, whether or not the next brood (within three weeks) will be as seri- ous as this one, depends upon the fight made by the planter himself, says George G. Becker, state ento- mologist, an expert on crop pests. He advises all of the following remedies:
 'If you have field that is so badly infested that it is apparent that you cannot make crop, blow the land under, thereby hurying the pupae and preventing the emergence of moths. If it IS practical ton grass lands, for instanee), you might go over the land with heavy roller.
 If field has been stripped of vegetation, lookout for the marching fever. In this case, make deep fur row, the dirt being thrown out so as to leave a perpendicular wall of about 12 inches facing away from the field so as to make it difficult for the worms to climb on to the uninfested fields. They will accumulate in these trenches. Spray them with coal oil or sprinkle coal oil on straw, scat tering the latter in the trenches and setting fire to it, or by using the fol- lowing formula as a poison: White arsenic, one pound; bran, 30 pounds; molasses, one quart; water to moist en.

LOST THE HAY

While on his way for Eureka
Tuesday afternoon with a four.
horse load of baled hay from his
ranch in Diamond valley, Edgar
Sadler, accompanied by his father
in-law, Thomas Eccles, had the
misfortune to lose both the wagon
and load of hay by fire. Mr..
Eccles, who had been smoking,
dropped some live ashes down be-
tween the lay and the front of the
wagon box. He took the whip
stock and stamped out the fire as
he supposed, but all of a sudden
the hay began to blaze and burned
so rapidly that nothing courd be
done to check it. Both men at
once commenced unhitchiog the
team, and barely got them away
from the burning wagon in time
to save the hOrses.-Eureka

SIGHTS WORTH SEEING
IN NEVhDA'S DESERT

People who dwell in the cities,
wherr lovely women dress in the
lates, style. where fine pictures
may be seen, fine music heard, and
all the comforts and luxuries may
be had for money, sometimes
wonder how civilized people can
stand it to live out in the desert.
Tc many of them the mountains
appear a dull, sleepy gray, the
sand is merely something hot and
dry, which makes walking hard
and blnws in ones eyes. Those
who make occasional pilgrimages
miss the beautiful green grass,
trees. flowers. wide meadows,
beautiful lakes, and all that.
Every once in a while there
appears on the desert a scene that
would stir up and set in motion
the blood Of a sphynX. A man
with a soul can not gaze on such
pictures without feeling how great
is nature, and recalling the teach
ings of his childhood. Uaa who
mas not thought of God for years,
when he looks upon one of these
great p~aloramas, with mountains
and valley stretching away to moth
ingness in the distance, where the
clouds come down To meet the
eartn and fantastic outlines are
made by mountain ranges, with
colors blendin aud changing
continually, can not but feel thai
there is a power greater than that
of man OF men. which created and
control the world. Such a picture
was to be seen Thursday afternoon
looking up Dixie valley from the
summit of Wonder mountain. The
atmospheric conditions were Just
right and the pleasure TO be deriv-
ed from its contemplation was well
worth travelling long distances.
The play of colors was simply
magnificent.
There are things worth while in
The mountains beside silver and
gold. Wonder News.
