signor Tripepi, who was appointed cardinal as
RamPolla's substitute and this gave him the OPP
portunity Of acquiring under great masters Leo
XIII and Cardinal Rampolla, the wide diplomatic
experience which is his chief asset
The many years spent at the state chancellery
were the happiest of Benedict XV's life in Rome
as prelate. He resided with his mother, to
whom he deeply devoted in Piazza s. Eus-
tahio in apartment that the marchioness had
furnished for him and. which was the meeting
place OF Catholic artists and iterati. Every eve
ming the young diplomat found himself surround
ed by a number of devoted friends, who were
never tired of listening to his brilliant converse
ton, and for whom he always had a good Havana
and delicious cup Of mocha. Politics was severe
ly banished from the conversations One eve
ming to diplomat who wanted his opinion on
some burning question, the young monsignor said:
My friend, why do you want to ruin your di.
gestion and my appetizer
On another occasion having been asked wheth-
er the affairs of the church were proceeding on
smoothly he smilingly replied:
mo, they limp some. like me-"
With Leo Kills death and RampolIa's failure
to be elected pope Monsignor Della Chiesa's hap
py days at the state chancellery came to an end
Although he still retained his position as Cardi-
nal del Walls substitute yet his influence was
gone and he was gradually put aside. The
elements composed of trusted. friends of the new
secretary of state, hostile to him chiefly for
the fact that he retained for his superior devo-
ton only equal to that for his mother. The new
secretary of state knew that If RampoIIa was
gone Della Chiesa represented in the state chan
celery Rampola's tradition Yet they did not dare
remove him. His services. his advice. still
regarded precious and besides a of Della
Chiesa's intellectual caliber could not be appoint
ed to minor position.
The opportunity of removing Della Chiesa came
in 1908 when, following the death of Cardinal
Svampa, the archiepiscopa1 Of Bologna be-
came vacant. In order to prevent criticism Of
all sorts Plus X decided to consecrate the new
archbishop personally, but everybody understood
that the idea to send away from Rome one
of Rampola's devoted friends.

German Farmers Farewell to Only

of a Patriot

Going to war in the case Of at least
one of the belligerents was a very
simple thing. And here is the proof
OF it compactly presented by Fritz
Muller: CATER Breitennoser had one
son and one horse. Yesterday they
came and took away his son for the
war. The good-bys wera said at the
gate. They were confoundedly short
good-bys. CATER BreitenmOser
wasted no words. He clapped his son
On the shoulder. Do your duty he
said-no more. And his son was
even a trife shorter about It He
said nothing at all He simply looked
at his father But what look And
then he swung on at a trot and was
gone
THAT was yesterday. Today they
came and fetched away CATER Brsi-
tenmoser's horse-for the war. The
parting again was at the gate And
Il was confOundedly short CATER
Breitenmoser wasted no words He
clapped his horse on the shoulder

SOME ADVICE TO FARMERS
State EentomoIogist Dean Says Deep
Fall Flowing viii Kill Many
Injurious Insects.

If you want to avoid pests in the
next crop season, plow your fields
deeply this fall Such is the advice
given by George a. Dean, entomolo-
gist in the Kansas State Agricultural
College. There are a dozen or more
different highly injurious insects that
may be completely destroyed or great
ly diminished in number by effective
methods within the next few weeks
Deep fall blowing, disking and
thorough narrowing says Professor
Dean, ARE the most effective means
of destroying many of the staple crop
pests. AS different insects pass the
winter in different stages this method
does not affect all alike. Some will
be destroyed by having the cells in
which they have gone to pass the win
ter broken up, and being unable to
construct new cells will be subjected
to freezing and thawing and exces-
sive moisture, and will thus be killed
by the weather.
"Cutworms, army worms, wire
worms, cornstalk borers, and white
grubs pass the winter in the soil as
larvae. Corn-ear worms, fall army
worms, and garden webworms pass
the winter in the soil as pupae. May
beetles, click beetles, and potato bee
ties hibernate in the soil as adult
beetles. Other insects, such as the
grasshopper and the corn-root aphis
lay their eggs in the ground in the
fall Deep fall blowing and thorough
narrowing will be effective against al
| of these wintering forms.
Since pupae of the corn-ear worm
pass the winter in the soil at a deptE
of from 8 to inches, by all means the
most satisfactory and practical meth
| cd of control is to pillow deeply and
| harrow the infested land in the late
| fall or in the winter This not only
will break up the pupal cells and crust
the pupae, but will expose others tt
the Tigors of winter, to which they
will succumb.
