within its borders few farms, few
ranches OF any description, and but few
mines. The only mines worthy of note
then and for many years aftcrward were
those OF Virginia, IN Storey county, and
railroading was entirely confined to not
moro than one trunk line.

SERIOUS INSECT CORN PEST
"6ud-Worm" Eats Roots and Kills
Bud In Young Plant-Rotstion
Is Best Way to Control.

There is a great deal of confusion
In regard to this name "bud-worm."
Most farmers use it in referring to
the southern corn root-worm. This
is also sometimes known as the
spiker" or "drillworm." have
heard farmers call it all of these
names. 1t is the small white or yell
iowish-whlte worm with black head
that eats the roots and kills the bud
In younC corn-usually before the corn
is more than six or eight inches high.
This insect is probably the most
serious insect pest of corn in the early
spring. We cannot reach this insect
with poisons. so that where this pest
is serious we must resort to farming
methods TO control it, 1t is usually
more serious on bottom land. especial
y when the corn is planted early.
If the planting is delayed until May.
most of the adult beetles have laid
their eggs and the damage is not
great Some farmers make it a Drsc-

grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found in the high
ways. beside the farms. and they are
found along fence borders whatsoever
may be the build of these. The sheep
that are given access to these will
virtually clean up everything and III
good form. The food thus eaten
would otherwise be wasted, at least
it would in large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat
for the household. The farmer is
much prone to confine his meat diet
TO salt pork, and largely for the rea-
son that in this form meat is most
easily kept Where sheep are kept
upon the farm the farmer may have
fresh meat and of a delicious char
acter by killing and dressing Occa-
sionally a mutton from his flock.
With a good place to keep such meat,
as an apartment in an ice house. he
may enjoy such meat in warm
weather. But even in the absence of
such a place he may partake of such
food during much of the year-that
is, during all portions of the same
when the weather is cool enough TO
enable him to keep such meat in a
good condition. In this way much of
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs of the farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted.
Sheep ought to be kept because of
the influence which they exert upon
fertility. No class of animals kept
upon the farm will equal them in the
/ favorable influences thus exerted.
This arises first, from the readily
available condition in which the drop
pings reach the soil; second. from the
/ scattered condition in which they
! reach the land, and. third. from the
general distribution of the dropping
over the land. In this way sheep
| leave the land richer in available fer
| tility when they Craze upon it than
it was when the grazing began. Thus
it is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has a golden hoof. And it is
founded on the truth.

OF work. and has distributed TO every
man his work" Is 1t not just in this
connection that we may be JUSTIFIED In
sport. the man who gives up his whole
life to pleasure? When the main thing
in college and university life is ath-
letics are we not justified in protest
ing that life's main purpose is being
lost sight of? Play and amusement is
but a side issue in life; when 1t be-
comes the whole thing. then 1t is
harmful and sinful, no matter whether
the amusement in question be in the
forbidden category or not; then even
an innocent amusement becomes NOR
ally bad. Amusement is to work what
whetting the scythe is to harvesting;
he who never stops to create an edge
tolls hard and cuts but little, while
he who whets the scythe all day cuts
none. II the mother enjoys amuse-
ments more than she does her chill
dren, the wife more than her domes-
tic duties, the husband more than his
home, the man more than his labor,
and the student more than his books.
then amusements are harmful and
wrong.
II. The true Christian will see to 1t
that his amusements are really recre-
alive, and not dissipative.
A man may lie so long in a bath
that he comes out of 1t exhausted, or
he can take a plunge or shower and
come out better prepared for the du-
ties of life So is it with amusements:
they may dissipate rather than recre-
ate. Having a good time is not always
recreation: it may be just the oppo-
site. The amusements of the Christian
should build up the whole man-phys-
ically. mentally, morally and spirit
ually.
l. The Christians pleasures will
recreate physically. The body of the
Christian is temple of the holy ghost.
Therefore he must keep his body in
as good. clean. pure and healthy a
condition as possible. The body needs
| relaxation; it needs rest from the
strain ard tension of life: it needs
new blood. new nerve tissues: it needs
to be better fitted for the real tasks
that lie within its sphere of labor. Bad
thinking often comes from lack OF ex
ercise. Some people do not have
enough body ito cover the mind with
decently" There may be time when
it is my duty to play rather than pray
| to romp rather than read, to take a
good brisk walk rather than prepare
good talk.
The test the Christian must apply
| to his pleasures is: do they recreate
and restore the waste tissues of the
body? Excess in athletics is not rec
reation. Young men have died from
overstrain in running girls have been
ruined for life by excessive rope
jumping. Many pleasures dissipate
the powers Of the body instead Of
recreating them.
Apply such a test to certain forms

There are many reasons why farm
ers should keep more sheep, writes
Prof. Thomas Shaw in The Home
stead The relatively small number
that is kept on the average farm is
one of the remarkable things about
the live stock industry in the United
States. The totals of this class OF
stock are not much more than they
were so years ago. This is all the
more remarkable in view of the tire
mendous expansion that has been go
ing on in almost every line of agri-
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm to aid in keeping down weed
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in a sense insati-
able devourers of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton if they have
access to the same at comparatively
early stage in the growth of the
weeds. When other pasture is not
overabundant this cropping down of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will
even keep down. at least in a consid-
cradle degree. the growth of Canada
thistles when thus managed. They
are equally ravenous also for the
seeds of the weeds. When these have
been formed and even when mature,
and when weed seeds have been de-
voured by them. they are so finely
ground that they do not grow again
when dropped upon the ground. |
have watched sheep when first turned
into a grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. When such weeds
as lambsquarter were present and
quite young and succulent, they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
/ abound more or less. They abound
not only in the form of weeds, but in
/ the form of grasses of various kinds.
These are found numerously in the

BIRDS EXCEL AS
WEED DESTROYERS
Some Songsters Depend Almost
Exclusively on Weed Seeds
Grow Kills Mice.

Weeds, as well as insects, are enc.
mics of the farmer. Most weeds are
short-lived and depend for their con.
tinuance on a prolific seed production
There is a class of birds that, in
maturity, feeds almost exclusively on
weed seeds, among which the gros.
beaks. goldfinches. native sparrows
quail and doves are the more i'm
portant. Probably the greediest seed
eating birds, according to Mr. Pratt
are the native American tree sparrow
and the chipping sparrow. Their
cousins, the English sparrows. how
ever, can by no means be included In
the list
Rats, mice and snakes are the prey
of numerous class of birds. many OF
which are often hunted and branded
as great destroyers of property. If II
were not for owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with 70
dents, according to Mr.. Pratt The
crow has his place for good as a de
stroyer of field mice and the farm ow
is the night Waterman who hunts
gophers. mice and snakes.
Not all hawks are useful. Those
that circle around in the sky anC
swoop down with stealthy movement
on their prey are great boons, but the
darter, those that take, their prey OF
the wing. are ruthless destroyers.

Of popular amusemen,s; the theater.
the dance. the card party. Do they
recreate, or do they dissipate? Do they
violate the laws of ply sical health by
their late hours. their impure atmos-
phere, their mode of dress and con-
duct. or are they perfectly consistent
with the observance of the laws OF
good health and hygiene? If these
amusements violate the laws of health,
then. until such times as they can be
brought within the realm of recreative
pleasures. the Christian must place
them on the forbidden list.
2. The pleasure of the Christian
should recreate mentally. The physical
must not be developed at the expense
of the mental Giantism must not
supplant intellectualism. Mind is
greater than body, as Gladstone and
Bismarck are greater than John L.
Sullivan or James Jeffries. The Chris
tian must ask himself. therefore.
What effect do my pleasures and
amusements have upon my mind, my
thought. my thinking? Do they build
up. ennoble, purify. sanctify, or do
they debase, defoul, besmirch. de-
bauch? Is my thinking higher. nobler,
more God-like because of the pleas
ures in which | engage? All things
are not to be judged by the eye; the
mind discerns also Shakespeare
speaks of the man who hath a body
filled with a vacant mind. gets him to
rest crammed with distressful bread
The Christian is to judge his amuse-
ments by this standard. Apply this
principle to literature? What books
do we read? II the Christians mas
ter should inquire: What readest
thou?" what would be our reply? Be
ware lest our minds become diseased
by the reading of light and trashy lit
erature.
Judge the theater by this standard.
Someone has said: The laugh of the
theater is the laugh that speaks of
the vacant mind" Are we purer in
thought, more virtuous in our dreams,
sweeter in our imaginations; have we
more earnest views Of life; is the
mind sensualized or spiritualized by
attendance upon the theater?
Apply this test to the card table.
Does this popular amusement furnish
| recreation to the mind? With it's pas
sion. it's tenseness. its excitement, its
| late hours, does the game of chance
rest and quicken the faculties for the
labors of the next day? Does not he
game rather dissipate than recreate
the mind?
Apply this standard to dancing. Dc
the atmosphere, the passion, the whirl
and dazzling fascination, the late
| hours-do all these recreate or dissi
pate. which? On the right answer to
this question depends the right OF
wrong of this amusement for the
Christian. Surely there can be but
one answer to this question.

INJURY DONE IN
REMOVING WEEDS
Most Beneficial Method Is to
Burn Them Where They Are
and Scatter Ashes.

The usual thing is when the weeds
have been loosened to remove them
bodily. Now. in doing this it is al
most impossible to avoid removing
a part of the upper surface OF the gar
den. 1t may be only an inch or two.
but that inch is just the best of. the
ground This is the height of folly.
One reads of the thrifty French
gardeners removing so many inches
of their soil when they have to quit
out. There is an agreement to that
effect. The soil that they have i'm
proved with years of labor and care
is a tenants fixture so to speak,
and they take II with them.
What goes on in too many OF our
gardens is Just the reverse. Instead OF
going away and bringing the soil with
us-that is the wealth of our gardens
we stay, and the soil goes, thrown
out on the rubbish heap to form part
of an eyesore and nuisance to the
rest of the establishment.
These things should not be so. In
the Utopia of well-managed farms and
gardens. of which we now and then
have an inkling, there will be no
rubbish at all, for what is rubbish
Burning is wastefui when it is
weeds not yet gone to seed that are
consumed. 1t is another matter in
dealing with such things a. old
stumps. roots and bad weeds that
xrif
ter. For them there must be the
cleansing fires. But why make them
away to a rubbish heap? Why not
rather burn them where they lie. at
once and scatter the ashes there.
This plan acts beneficially in more
WAYS than one. 1t saves two earrings
and it is always easier to do a job
of this sort at once. Beside, rubbish
even II left for but few weeks, will
be found to have afforded free quar-
tiers to an appalling. if interesting ex
tent. to slugs and other garden pests
These rubbish heaps! What trou
blesome, unlovely things they are
At a certain old homestead that
have in my minds eye. the practice
is in full swing. All ashes and con
ditions of things find their way. not
alone from the garden, but from the
dwelling, to hollow just out of sight
of the house and garden. Here are
"pegged. out" any amount of extraor
binary things-broken pottery. papers
sardine tins, tin meat cans, probably
in their virgin state. and old hats
and there they lie until someone finds
time to set fire 20 the heap, blot Of
unsightliness amid so much natura
charm.

The Supreme Lesson.

I'VE that are strong ought to
Dear the infirmities OF the weak
Rom 1871.
The supreme lesson which Christ
came to teach was that no man liveth
to himself; that we who are strong
ought to bear the burdens of the weak.
II there is yet one higher joy than that
of paying the debt we owe, surely it is
that Of paying for others their debt
which we do not owe. Alone of all
great teachers. he came to add this to
the beauty, dignity and joy which this
brief life affords us. Christ offers this
supreme possibility to you-even so
far you may have the joy of walking
In his footsteps. . Honor and last

pay and in proportion to the amount
the payment costs YOUR. Wilfred
