STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLE.
Striped Cucumber Beetle.

The most dangerous enemy Of tn.
melon and cucumber plants is the
striped cucumber beetle. Most every
one who has attempted to grow these
plants is familiar with this insect
It Injuries the plants by eating holes
in the leaves, and in many cases des
troyes all plants in hill. The pre-
caution of planting large number Of
seed to the hill should always be
taken. Plant at least dozen seed,
and after the young plants begin vim
ing remove all but three of the
strongest

Colorado Potato Beetle.

Fortunately these two pests are
easily controlled, and both are subject
to the same treatment. 1t Is simply
a question of putting arsenate poison
on the foliage. The form OF arsenate
commonly used and probably the best
is paris green. This is used at the
rate of pound to 100 gallons OF
water. To this is added l pound OF
lime. Best results are obtained
when it is put on with a sprayer.
If, however, no sprayer is available. the
solution sprinkled over the plants
will be Of much help. Another means
of applying the paris green Is by
mixing the powder with six times its
bulk Of common -four and sprinkling
the powder over the leaves.
When the poison II applied with a
sprayer it is well to add Bordeaux
mixture to the solution If potato
blight IL bothering.

FURRoW OPENERS.

The use Of furrow openers Of war;
GUS descriptions has become popu-
lar in the last few years. It Ii
claimed that they leave only flne dirt
on top Of the seed, and the small
trench il very easy to MI and bury
all weeds, making the land perfectly
level instead Of ridged.
On the nat prairies, corn should
never be planted in any sort of
furrow, ~ the water stands badly
enough there without making a
place for it on top Of tho corn. On
lands having . porous sub-soil where
water does not stand, their use may
be well recommended.

Treatment Of Drinking Water for
Chicks.
In case Of digestive disorders the
treatment Of the drinking water may
aid in the suppression Of the trouble.
An effective method 10 by the use Of
potassium permanganate. A satu-

the permanganate crystals in the
bottom Of some receptacle, covered
with water. One tablespoonful Of the

COMBATING GARDEN PESTS
METHODS OF CONTROLLING PO.
TATO AND CUCUMBER
BEETLES.
BY c. e. Brashear of the College Of
Agriculture, University
of Missouri.

The beetles that work on potato
plants are of two kinds. There is the
commonly called blister beetle,
with a long body and of a slate or
black and yellow color. Then there
is the Colorado potato beetle which
is either short or else fiat in FORM
The former is most common and Is
black and yellow in color.

The beetle may also be controlled
by covering the plants with cheese
cloth. Or the plants may be kept
sprayed with arsenats and Bordeaux
mixture. While this does not kill the
beetle, it seems to be distasteful to
the insect and furnishes protection
to some extent. Cultivation which
raises a dust, or lime and ashes
sprinkled on the bugs tend to stop up
tho breathing pores and kill many
of them.

State Fair Premium Lists

The county clerk has just received
a number of copies of the Missouri
State Fair premium list for 1918.
These are for free distribution in the
county and any one may secure them
by calling at the county clerks office,
or writing the secretary of the Mis-
souri, State Fair, Sedalia.
The premium list shows increase
in premiums over previous years
which means that the State Fair is
growing. One especially noticeable
thing in this years premium list, on
page 8, is the establishment of a
Boys State Fair School. This new
feature promises to be one of great
value to every part of the state, as
one boy from each county will be en-
tertained by the State Fair and will
get one week of instruction and prac-
teal training in the most up-to-date
methods of farming and stockraising.
Many other features have been added.
The dates for the State Fair this year
are September q to October 8.

Senator Bristow said he believed the
postmaster general had authority to
change the rates and zones if the in

Burleson. 1--WE are going to make
money on this new business and we

to make changes of the nature in

Senator Bryan announced that If
he were defeated in the committee he

Washington, July 26.-Despite SEN
atorial criticism of the proposed re-
duction in parcel post rates and the
increase in the size of the packages,
Postmaster General Burleson an.
nounced he would issue the final Or
ders at once putting the changes in
effect August Is. The announcement
came after the wisdom of making the
changes had been subjected to a
searching review before the senate
postoffice committee in the presence
of the postmaster general.
Chairman Clark of the interstate
commerce commission, explaining why
the commission had sanctioned the
proposed changes, said he believed
the postmaster general had ample
power under the law to make the
changes.
II am convinced that the postoffice
department ought to, can and will ex.
tend the parcel post until it will carry
all packages up to 100 pounds" he
added.

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhoodis Try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
enee with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
on unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
inyigorator of the female organism.
