KILLING INSECTS
DURING WINTER
Nothing Is Quite So Effective aa
Digging Out Heart OF Ant
Mound and Flooding
With Water.
CBy G. H. GLITZKE)

The common red ants do a great bit
of damage to the alfalfa fields in some
sections of the country. The spots
where they kill the alfalfa are usually
only about a square yard or two
where they build their mounds, but a
great many of these in the field count
for quite a large patch where no al
falfa grows.
Some people try to destroy them by
sinking bottles into their mounds so
that the ants fall into them.
This system is not always effective
as it is hard to trap them all and as
long as a few remain the trouble will
continue.
There is nothing quite as effective
as the winter killing which consists
in digging out the heart of the
mounds in the winter and then pour
ing water into the excavation thus
made so it soaks into the ground and
freezes those that may still be living.
This method usually proves very
satisfactory. Out of a large field
where they were killed in this way
during the last winter only a very few
of the many ant hills had any ants
remaining in them by spring and it is
quite evident that If the work had
been done more carefully every one
of them would have been killed.
The work should be done very
thoroughly. 1t does not take much
digging at each mound, but it should
be done In the winter time so there is
no chance for them to rebuild and
the weather is so cold that they must
freeze.
Where other methods have failed
this has done the work.

Protecting Roses in Winter.

After a mild summer and fall. a
severe winter is very hard on both
utility and ornamental vegetation, as
the growth is very green and unripe.
Amongst the first to suffer would be
varieties of roses, and their protec-
ton should be attended to before
the slightest frost occurs.
Take a wood rammer and ram the
soil as hard as road all around each
plant: then place a forkful or two of
stable or COW manure round the stem.
Let this come up little way under
the branches, but not far, as 1t is the
neck or collar that wants wrapping,
and If this is protected, there is little
dtnger of the plants being injured.

The suffragette was conversing with

your sex for the home rather than for
the sterner duties of life or the posi-

Yes" the suffragette replied. Il

Strange wishes are sometimes ex-

than that of the son of Erin 10 whom
Rev. DR.. Floyd w. Tompkins told a
short time ago in an afternoon
speech;
Pat O'Shaunessy had been told by
the doctor that he could live but a
few hours" said DR.. Tomkins, "and
his wife and assembled relatives and
friends asked him whether there was
one last wish he would like to have
gratifed before he died?"
"'There is said Pat. I'D like to
hear the village band play once

Accordingly the village band gath

coursed airs for several hours. When
at last 1t had played, Say Au RevolT

own departure. Mrs. O'Shaunessy

1t may be proved scientifically that all
acts of animals can be accounted for with
out supposing them to possess the power of
reasoning, of drawing conclusions from

man.

Since it is the unanimous opinion of
medical authorities that smoking by minors
is highly injurious, it is certainly distress
ing to observe in all parts of the city an
amazing increase of juvenile smoking.
Many of these youngsters have told me
that they were only fourteen or fifteen.
It seems clear that the reason why
these youngsters take up smoking is be.
cause they think that it is manly and that
they are thus made into little men.

AS the days pass into months and the
months into years, we pause and look, or
rather try to look, into the future. Every
normal human being is gifted with a
desire to conquer something.
That something may be very great or
exceedingly small in its proportions.
Sometimes the idea or formation of the
distinct desire is long in coming to the
surface. But when it does come it is
