Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "physic" that mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, ca thartics. How you hated them how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The childrens revolt is well found ed. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.

How to. Fight
ChinCh Bugs.
Kansas EntOmOlOeist says Losses
Of 1912 Can be Cut Down.
Ninety Per Cent Of Pests Which
Cost Farmers II Million Dol
lars Last Year Still Alive
Burrows Will Hold" Them.

Topeka, May Is. According
to G. A! Dean of the Kansas
Agricultural College, II million
dollars was lost to the Kansas
farmers last year by chinch bugs.
This includes the losses to wheat,
oats and corn.
Professor Dean is the state en-
tomologist. He believes go per
cent of the bugs remained alive
through the winter, and will
cause even greater damage this
year unless something is done to
stop them.
Several methods, he points out,
may be used successfully to ar
rest their migration. These
should be put into force before
the early crops have matured.
After the bugs have once entered
the small grain fields there is no
way to prevent injury, but it is
entirely possible to keep them
from passing into the corn, kaffir
and sorghum.
The dust barrier and the road
oil barrier are methods common
ly used to destroy the bugs"
said Professor Dean. The first
is useful in dry weather and the
latter when the soil is wet. A
dust barrier is made by blowing
a strip of ground about ten feet
wide between the infested and
the noninfested fields and then
working this into a fine dust
Two deep parallel burrows are
made by dragging with a double
trough. A single furrow barrier
may be made by listing a deep
furrow and then dragging with
a heavy log. The bugs fall into
these burrows when they pass
from one field to another and
may be destroyed by a gasoline
torch or by dragging a log thru
the burrows. The torch is more
effective.
THE road oil barrier is con.
structed by blowing a sharp back
furrow bptween the fields and
working up a ridge on this by
dragging a trough over it. On
the bottom of the trough a pole
is placed, which will leave a
groove on top of the compact
ridges. No. 7 road oil is placed
in this groove in sufficient guam
tity to make a line one-half to
three-quarters of an inch wide.
After the bugs have fallen into
the groove they may be destroy
ed by the gasoline torch. Coal
tar can. be substituted for road
oil, but it is more expensive and
must be renewed more frequently.
The road oil barrier is for use in
wet weather when the dust bar
rier is useless. 1t should be
placed between the dust barrier
and the nouinfested fields"

We felt, as we went through the
country last summer and saw this
waste, that all this might have
been avoided if the farmers had
cooperated, bought a small
thresher, stacked their grain and
threshed after it passed through
the sweat. 1t could then have
been kept off a market flooded by
those whomust thresh out of the
shock, and the quality would
have been such that they could
hive held it as long as they de-
sired.
In thinking over this, we thot
of the silo, and the cooperation
necessary when a farmer builds
a silo, and said to ourselves:
Why not connect these things ia
the mind of the farmers? Many
of our farmers are talking about
building silos this year. The
time will come when a stock far
mer will not be in good standing
in the neighborhood unless he
has a silo. Why not cooperate
and thus secure the power that
will enable farmers to be indie
pendent of the threshing crew, oil
the grain buyer and of the mill.
er, thus acting with real farmer
like independence of other
classes?
When we talk about this to
farmeas, they say: Il can't CO.
operate with my neighbors. y
They seem to think that a justi-
fication of their backwardness in
keeping in step with the times.
It looks quite different to US. II
means: / don't want to cooper.
ate with my neighbors. Men
can cooperate when they want
to. They can do almost any
thing they really want to. II
there be first a willing mind, all
things in reason are possible.
Say, let US tell you something;
If you will start in to cooperate
with your neighbor in filling
your silo, in owning a power
jointly, with some competent
man to run it, that will bale your
hay for you, if you have hay to
sell; that will bale your straw SO
that you can put it in small space;
that will grind your corn and
cob meal Or your corn, you will
find out that your neighbor, with
whom you have not been on as
cordial terms as country folks
ought to be, is a whole lot better
man than you think he is. Hav-
ing learned to cooperate with
him in these things that put
money in your pocket, you will
learn to cooperate win him in
those larger things that mean a
better life in the farming COM
munity. For, whether we will
or not, if we are to prosper finan-
cially, socially, Intellectually, if
we are to make life on the farm
really worth living, we must
learn to get together, to cooper
ate with each other. Cooperat-
ing is just getting together and
pulling together, rather than
each working Independently with
out regard to the interests and
well-being of his neighbor. The
Silo,is a means Of grace to the
man who wants to grow in grace,
because to get the most out of it
we must get together aud work
together. -Wallaces' Farmer.
