CONTROL OF GRUBS
AND WIRE WORMS
Many Preventive Measures Have
Proved Beneficial in De-
stroying Insects.

No known remedies for the control
of white grubs and wire worms are
satisfactory. but preventive measures.
consisting OF late fall blowing, and
disking or narrowing, have proved
beneficial in destroying the hibernat-
ing forms in the ground. Complete
summer following of infested fields
win starve the white grubs, though
preventing the growth of plant life.
Hogs will also do very thorough work
by roofing up the soil and destroying
them.
Cutworms can be readily controlled
with poison bran mash made as fol-
lows: Thoroughly mix one pound Of
paris green In 80 or 40 pounds or dry
bran; moisten slightly with cheap.
thin strip until the mass will hold to-
gether well when pressed in the hand.
Distribute this poisoned bait about
plants to be protected, or SOW It broad
cast in gardens or fields about sunset.
and exclude all poultry until after o
rain to avoid danger of poisoning The
corn ear worm is member Of the
cutworm group. but the poison bran
mash Is not effective as control.
Fall blowing and thorough cultivation
Is our best control In this case.
Professor Sanders especially urges
that fall blowing be done wherever and
whenever possible in preparing land
for planting. because only by following
this practise can some of our common
field pests be controlled and kept be-
low the danger point. Wisconsin Bull

Northeastern states offer innumera-
BILE satisfactory locations for the grow
ing of apples and peaches, and the
former in most of its varieties will
make congenial home in almost any
spot In which one might choose to
live, except in the very mountainous
districts.
In picking out land for fruit grow
ing bear in mind that apples. pears
and peaches are bulky; therefore near
ness to transportation facilities is most
important. On the other hand, where
capital is limited, land farther from
market costs less and, as far as the
fruit is concerned, may be just as de-
sirable. Wherever chosen the land
should have a fair elevation, not ON
top of a high hill exposed to strong
winds, nor yet In the bottom Of
narrow valley, but gently sloping hill
sides are ideal, and the direction is OF
slight importance. The choice will
often lie between rough or rocky fields
costing but little or those much easier
to cultivate and so more expensive at
the start. The latter are, as a rule,
cheaper to handle as time goes on, but
success may be had from either.
Whichever spot is chosen II should be
naturally or easily drained, for water

Annles Now a LUXURY.

Everywhere among the dealers one
can read three apples for dime" and
in many places the rosy fruit is marked
with nickel apiece" How changed
this is from those old days when one
could buy a peck OF apples for ten
cents or a barrel for s1.25. Not many
years ago an orange was worth four or
FIVE apples. but now 1t Is cheaper and
1t is not worth one. There was once q
time when an ordinary family would
have several barrels of apples in the
cellar, or a bin in the garnet, for win
ter use But those days are gone, and
even good apple pie has reached the
altitude OF luxury. And then the way
they are .sold--in boxes in rows or
each apple wrapped in paper to attest
its value. We don't know that these
are really days Of progress. when .

must never stand near the surface in
an orchard.
The apple allows wide latitude In
the matter of soil, and some varie-
ties will grow on almost any land
strong enough to grow trees. For the
varieties generally grown gravel or
clay gravel soils are very satisfactory.
but lighter lands are also successful
when supplied with humus. The par
ticular nature Of the soil is less impor-
tant than location and drainage, and
many so-called run-out farms can
readily be fitted for fruit growing.
The needs of the peach are quite
different from the apple, and to start
an orchard In a locality where the
mercury drops more than degrees
below zero is very risky; also unless
located near large body of water
that tempers the cold. Only elevated
positions are safe even in favorable
localities. Good air drainage must be
had, hence the tops OF hills or the
most elevated parts OF gently sloping
hillsides should be chosen. Then. too.
the peach buds must be protected
from sudden changes Of temperature.
Choice of soils Is also restricted as
success can only be assured where
there Is natural drainage and a
warm, sandy soil SO congenial to the
peach.

championship lad been enlisted, an en-,
thusiastic advoeate. AS he himself had
said, his heart was "in the right place"
and that morning. as he went through
the plant explaining that the young
new owner had decided not to sell out
to the trust, but would stand by Jones'
vile, Jones PepsiD gum and those res
ident in one and employed in manufac
ture of the other, broadway lost none
of merit through his defamation.
In that heart in the right place Hig-

him out of the building, discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town If he did not cease threatening a
woman. He was sorry he bad lost his
temper while with Josie.
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings OF the old-fashioned
mandatory at high speed and high
enthusiasm. His manner had been
such that his mere appearance had
been signal for the stoppage of the
wheels of industry and the gathering
of eager groups about him to listen to
the news which one could not doubt he
bore, and when the nature Of that
news became known generally, the
much-relieved workmen, the working
women, and even the basket girls and
bundle-boy throughout the plant, be-
came instantly demonstrative Of great
Joy.
The first cheer. that which had
mercifully interrupted Clara's inqui-
sition of Broadway on the subject OF
his friend, was followed by another
and another as the news spread. A
gradual cessation Of the grinding roar
which was apparent, even in the office
building, when the plant was operat-
ing, showed that here and there
and everywhere machines we're being
stopped by those who wished to leave
them SO that they might hear the

bound, listening. None knew what aad

MAKES GEMS MORE BRILLIANT
Five Carat Diamond In Vacuum Has
Been Shown to Give as Much
/ Light as a Candle.

The jewellers of ancient Egypt knew
who're than modern craftsmen about
treating gems so that they would
shine and sparkle, according to the
Independent. Such gems as the emer-
aid. garnet and jacinth were liveiier
and more luminous in the days of the
Ptolemiss than they can be made to-
day. 1t is known that the diamond,
ruby. emerald and kunzite become
phosphorescent or fuorescent under
certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phospho-
rescence In vacuum tubes. Even in
rarefied air some diamonds give out
blue light which Is not present in a
denser atmosphere. In a vacuum a
diamond Of four or FIVE carats gives
as much light as candle. The color
of the light differs not only with the
origin of the diamond, but with the
facets Of the same diamond. Maske-

FISHERMAN TELLS THIS ONE
Giant Sturgeon lows Austrian to Camp

Hungry Men.

Lashing 100-pound sturgeon to
raft, when he found the fish too heavy
to carry, forcing the big member OF
the finny tribe to haul him into camp
where later the sturgeon was served
up to a crew OF hungry men, is the

the Ok Bow tunnel. on the Snake riy-
er, between Idaho and Oregon. A
rancher named Mcpherson notified the
foreman in charge Of the camp that
II he would send some of his men up
he would give them fish. Thinking
that one man could manage single
fish without trouble. the foreman sent
one OF his Austrian laborers after it.

but recently the wisdom of this meth
cd has been questioned, 1t being said
that the eggs absorb soluble silica in
sufficient amount to make them unfit
to be eaten.
DIR. Bartlett. an English chemist,
has been testing eggs SO preserved,
and has proved that If the bath con-
tains free soda the eggs absorb 1t and
their whites become like jelly. But
when a ten per cent. solution OF sill
cate of soda Be used there is none OF
this absorption. After being i'm
mersed for eleven months the eggs
contain no more silica than when
fresh. They are in very much better
condition than when preserved for the
same length Of time by freezing, as
the pores of their shells are her

In the Nursery.

1t does not mean that a woman can
not take charge of her own children's
bringing-up simply because she puts
them In a nursery. She can take
charge of them as wen in nSrsery as
out OF one. II they are IN charge OF
governess, however, she should be
a woman who can be thoroughly trust
ed. In these days of mothers help
ers the young woman who fills that po-
sition would have the supervision OF
the nursery In house where she was
employed, and she should be chosen
with the greatest care. For the whole
value Of the nursery idea Is that the
children who are brought up in a
nursery lead quieter, more untram-
meled life than they do when they
live out of the nursery .--EEchanga

TO her. He noted, and not without

of embarrassment as he considered the
undeniable selfishness of his previous

Her reserve quite vanished; as is
the way of women, she took credit for
AN intuition which her previous man

been suspicious Of a reason for sus-

She had not known he would; she
had feared. had half believed that he
jwould not; but that now made not the
slightest difference with her firm be-
lief that she had known he would. Nor
had the fact that Broadway, a short
minute before, had suspected, with
good reason, that she seriously doubt
ed him, any influence whatever on his
deep pleasure when he discovered that
she did not--did not because she could
