where practical and convenient To-
bacco emulsion will kill them in their
early stages, especially II supplied In
the morning when the bugs are slug

readily.
Earring or brushing the insects OF
the plants onto q sticky paper or into
q vessel Of some sort Is also effeca-
cious, though the use Of an insect net
II even better. A little practice will
enable one to sweep the net over the
plants in the early morning and catch
nearly all of the bugs without injuripg
the plant buds. Methods Of destruc-
uon after they are in the net VIII sug-
ges1 themselves.
Where the bugs are particularly nu-
merous it may be well to use wire
gauze and screen them out Of the
greenhouses. A block Of "Erowthy
plants just outside the greenhouse may
also be used to detain the bugs They
will feed there instead of going inside.
One point in Kidding the premises of
the pest is Of great importance clean

passes the winter in trash piles and
under debris about the yards and In
fence corners. If this Is all collected

strips Of cardboard, eighteen inches

SWEET CLOVER FOR STOCK.
Sheep and Mules at Least Dc Well
With IL N Fodder,

With Il as Fodder.
The question has been asked whether
sheep will eat sweet clover. Yes: they
will eat sweet clover and seem to es-
pecially relish the plant both green
and in the hay. The statement has
been made by large sheep raiser that
sheep can be successfully raised on an
entire sweet clover diet, no grain being
needed. Now, as this plant will grow
on rough land and sheep do well on it.,
good results can be had by sowing
rough hill land to sweet clover and al
lowing sheep to Craze on 1t. In this
way you can make your rough land
profitable. AS ground does not have
to be plowed for sweet clover 1t is we'll
to SOW during the cold weather. When
the growing weather comes it will
grow and flourish.
Sweet .clover would also be a fine
plant to grow in sections where mules
are raised. 1t has been proved by
actual experience that they. like sheep,
can be raised on sweet clover alone.
This is meant for growing mules, but
the working mules should have some
grain feed.
There is one thing noticeable, and
that is stock fed on sweet clover looks
well and when butchered is found to
be nice and fat. Traders like to buy
sweet clover fed animals. There must
be good reason for this.-National

vator from Jan. 5 to May IA, 1910. the
corn then being run out and elevated
to the scale three times, after which
1t was allowed to lie eighteen days
longer, making l47 days in storage al

corn remained In good condition, and
the shrinkage in weight was approx
mately four-tenths per cent. but after
the latter date the corn became sour
and hot. with maximum temperature
Of 1873 degrees F., and up to May II
had shrunk about 90 per cent moro.
During the three elevations to the
scale the shrinkage was 1.65 per cent
on the basis Of the weight Of the corn
in the hopper just before handling.
From May IA to June l. after the corn
had cooled to 55 degrees by handling,
the shrinkage was 90 per cent. The
total shrinkage during the storage Pc

for example, and the temperature Of
the air.
Other facts learned were that on
Jan. 5 the average moisture content of
the corn was 1873 per cent, while OF
June 1 it was 14.7 per cent. On the
same dates the corn showed power OF
termination amounting to 500 and l

lively. On Jan. 5, 97.1 per cent OF the
corn was sound, while on June 1, after
the severe heating, only IL per cent
remained sound.
In all probability corn stored on the
cob would not deteriorate so greatly Ms
shelled corn, yet there would doubtless
be some loss under such conditions

A Happy Mistake
8y WILLIAM II. JENNINGS

A YOUNG man stood with his hand
"a on the latch of a house in the
country, admired the cheerful
appearance of the place, then
knocked and was admitted by an old
man.
"You are Deacon Merivals, are you

questioner repeated, raising his voice.
Still he was unhead and shouted the
question in the mans ear.

visitor looked over the old mans shoul-

threshold. The situation was awk-

A quick intelligence passed over the
girls face.

she said. "He has been talking of my
brother continually of late His mis-
take may turn out a fortunate one"
This was a great relief to the sup
posed son. Now that the responsible
ity was on another he resigned himself
to play his part.
"Father, forgive me-" he said, with
feigned emotion.

his daughter.
