Good Plant Protector.

To be made from bottomless barrel,
especially for early squash or the main
crop in the far north.
Two covers are made from one bar
rel, which is sawed in two. with a
slant through the bilge of the barrel
extending to upper and lower hoops.
Tie string about the barrel and mark
with pencil for a guide to saw by.
Cover each half with piece of mus
lin, which is held in place by the top
hoop If easily removed, otherwise by
tying a string about the barrel.
Its usefulness may be prolonged by
putting on a hay wire for a bottom
less hoop.
Fasten near the bottom with double
pointed carpet tacks or small wire
nails.
Any sized cask may be used suited
to the plant, from a paint keg to a
puncheon.-American Cultivator.

A NEW POTATO PEST.

A short time since the federal de-
partment of agriculture issued a warn
ing calling public attention to the dan
ger of a spread of a new pest that
threatens the potato growing industry
the potato moth. The pest is espe-
cially prevalent in Texas and Califor-
mia. and. through shipments of early
potatoes, the moth is being introduced
broadcast over the country The de-
partment urges potato growers every
where to examine carefully the pota-
toes they dig and destroy every vine
and every potato that shows the slight
est signs of the moth. 1t is urged
that especial attention be given to seed
potatoes, which should be fumigated
with carbon bisulphide before they are
planted. The warning closes with the
statement that unless protective and
defensive measures are adopted by po-
tato growers and handlers at once
there will be a serious reduction in the
potato crop.

Many a strawberry bed would have
yielded twice what it did this year If
instead of allowing mat Of vines
to set last year the owner had kept
them cut back to narrow row and
this season had kept the soil between
rows thoroughly cultivated so as TO
conserve the soil moisture when that
very hot and dry spell came on early
in June Had the above suggestions
been carried out the yield would have
been affected little, if any. by the dry
weather The trouble with most ber-
ry growers. and this holds especially
of those hOusehOlders who grow for
the table only, is that they let the
berries set altogether too thick in the
bed with the result that the vines do
not have sufficient room for proper de-
velopment. while if drought comes they
are done for in short order through
lack of moisture

What Makes a Good cow

Professor w. j. Kennedy of the
Iowa station recommends the follow
ing in reference to the selection Of
breeding stock for the dairy:
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester. The COW is a machine to con-
vert food into milk Thus she must
have large middle and a strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells. large crooked milk

AS the germs of this disease can be
carried on the seed, it is wise to see
that the seed used does not come from

well to treat the seed with formalin,

disease shows up in seed bed. this
should be changed the next year. If
bad in the field this land should not be
used for cruciferous crops for several
seasons and. even if the disease is not
present. yearly rotation is desirable
where it can be carried on without
especial diff rulty. Refuse from dis

WHY BURN UP WEALTH.

According to some authorities.
, the value of plant food removed
from the soil per bushel of wheat
is about so cents for average
Yields The plant food elements
, contained in straw are some
times returned to the soil whence
, they came. either in the form Of
straw or mixed with farm ma
, nure where it has been utilized
for bedding purposes. 1t is not
, plain why the farmer should
spend so much time and energy
striving to raise large yields of
grain and straw and then waste
about one-h half of the net profit
of the crop There should be
some means of utilizing that
portion of the wheat crop which
heretofore has been burned on a
large percentage Of our farms.

But you may not know that this kind
OF bacon is produced by feeding

Soaked barley alone is an excellent

If one did not get around to set

is well to remember that plants set as
early as possible during the present
month will make a good growth with
the fall rains and bear considerable
fruit next season. If dry weather per-
sists. of course. the plants will have
to be watered but this will not be for
long. The plants should be cultivated
frequently enough to keep the soil mel

Lille, IL Ia, Z.ZU la, 20 Ia.
Thursday was an ideal day for a fair
and there was an immense crowd on
the grounds. The spectators passed
pleasant forenoon in examining the ex-
hibits and viewing the various curiosi-
ties in the many tents and booths. The
grand stand was full to the limit when
the races began at 2:30.
At 2 o'clock President Weeks was
announced and called the attention of
the crowd to the difference in the
aspects of the fair ground now and that
of ten years ago, when Col. S. A. llsley
took the helm. Col. Ilsley was loudly
applauded and merely bowed his ac-
acknowledgements.
Then Judge Weeks presented Gov.
Allen M. Fletcher, who made brief
remarks. Among his sayings he stated
that he had brought the superintendent
of the State fair over here with him so
that the superintendent could see "how
they do it" in Adds N county. Lieu
was next introduced and followed the
governors lead in few words. Both
gentlemen were given warm recep-
ton by the large crowd of spectators.
The races of the day were started at
2:90 O'Clock with the 2:25 pace purse
in the lead. T1ere were Is entries in
this race, but only four of the number
appeared on the track for the word.

Where a boy shows a disposition to
work and earn all or portion of his
spending money it is pretty good
idea for the parent to encourage him
in 1t, even if the financial condition of
the family does not make the earning
Of such money a necessity. The curse
of thousands of boys when they arrive
at the age OF twenty-one is their igno-
rance of the value Of a dollar in terms
of the work required to earn it coupled
with lack of habits OF industry and

by the domestic science department of
the Minnesota College of Agriculture, is
said to be entirely effective in driving
away all kinds Of ants. Take equal
parts of tartar emetic and sugar. mix
dry, then moisten with water to the
consistency of sirup, and put in dish
in the runway Of the ants. They will
eat freely of it, then depart, often for
the rest of the season. The dish may
be set away when dry, and when need
ed again it is ready for use by adding
water and a little more sugar. The
mixture should be kept out of the
reach of children, as it is poisonous.
