PARIS GREEN USED
IN SUMMER GARDEN
Much Can Be Saved by the Ju-
dicious Use of the Poison
for Killing Insects.

At this time of the year summer
garden crops are growing and much
can be saved by the judicious use OF
paris gresS for killing noxious in
sects. PaSs green is a strong poison
and insects are killed with It. Suck
Ing insects such as the true bugs and
plant lice are not killed by poisons
but by sprays that blister their bodies
or by substances that stop up their
breathing pores.
When used as a spray the paris
green should first be made into a
thick paste by adding little water
and then adding the proper quantity
of water. 1t is always advisable to
add also twice the weight of poison
of fresh Stacked lime In order to rem
der insoiuble any free arsenic that
may be present and so prevent burn
Ing OF foliage. The poison is used
In an fnsoluble form, or as nearly SO
as II is possible to render It, hence
the water must be kept thoroughly
agitated in order that the power may
remain perfectly suspended in the
liquid. II the powder is allowed to
settle at the bottom OF the vessel that
portion will be much concentrated
and likely to burn the plants. while
the top liquid win have very little
value as an insecticide.
In making the spraying mixture use
about one-half pound Of paris green
and one pound of lime to so gallons
OF water. In spraying potatoes. for
instance. which are frequently affect.
ed with blight or fungous disease. one
pound of paris green is added to 80
gallons of Bordeaux mixture. Bor.
deaux mixture is made by dissolvine
four pounds of copper sulphate and
five pounds of water. These two mix.
lures work well together. killing In
sects and fungous diseases at the
same time and hence a saving OF la.
Dor In spraying.
Paris green may be busted on plants
with cheesecloth bags or ordinary
powder bellows. 1t may be applied
either pure or diluted. but II is best
to dilute with twenty to one hundred
parts OF lime. afr Stacked or land pIas-
ter. before applying, according to the
nature of the plants treated Even
weaker solutions should be used
where the parts busted are to be used
for food. In the treatment Of cabbage

EXCELLENT HINTS
DURING HAY TIME
Make All Necessary Preparations
Before Work Actually Starts
Take Care of Tools.
cBy NJ. covERDELL3


Don't begin haying and make prepa-
rations afterward.
See that every hay tool is in prime
working order and good repair.
Fill every oil cup and bearing and
wipe of before attempting to turn a
wheel
It is only fair that the household
help be as plentiful and efficient as is
the help in the fields.
A sunshade for the driver while
moving may cause some unkind re-
marks, but 1t was never known to
cause a sunstroke.
Lay in full supply of repairs now; !;
don't wait until the breakage occurs
and stops a dollar-a-minute haying
crew while you drive to town for re-
pairs.
Don't buy repair rake-teeth already
shaped up when you can saw out two
IF them yourself from by 6. and
save at least one-half what you would
be charged for the shaped teeth.
Good, keen sickles leave a smooth
mown meadow; save all the grass; !;
wear the machine out less than dull
,ickles, and greatly tighten the load
of the teams.
A water. Jug with the juice of a
emon or two squeezed into 1t, beats
any OF the so-called stimulants many
armers are coming to make use of
syery year during the hay harvest.
The lemon juice diminishes the
.hirst. while the stimulants increase 1t.
A damp handkerchief worn In the
.rown OF the hat adds to ones com
Tort and guards against sunstroke
Rushing the team and the men is a
most successful plan for running up
big repair bill or a dangerous sun
itroke.
Make a clean finish OF the business
while you are about 1t. See that all
the stacks are well topped and stand
ng up straight when the work Is done,
then run three good wires around
avery stack-yard and save doing it
when you turn in on the meadow for
,ail pasturage-
Chis is also the best time you'll ever
have for putting away the hay tools.

shepherd can count on profit of from
$4 to SIS for every eve kept
Since It requires two acres of land
for eight sheep. the income per aero
from the sheep would be about $40
net. A very fair income compared
with that even to be made from the
cultivation of corn.
Sheep raising has the additional ad-
vantage of involving less labor than
| does the cultivation of soil. Then. too,
the land used for the sheep becomes
daily more productive, while that CIV
en- over to corn growing becomes
poorer and poorer each year.

In the construction of apparel for

States was issued by the Executive
Committee of the American Red
Cross:
Our President has, by proclama-

that on this Sunday collection be
taken up in every church to relieve
suffering in the war-ravaged coun-

duty of aiding the sick and wounded
in time of war, respectfully urges
that opportunity be given in each

WE HAVE A PRESIDENT
WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE

We like to feel that Woodrow
Wilson expresses in his own person
ality the good genius of this coun-
try.
The Presidents service to the ma
ton within the past few months has
been sufficient to make an entire
four-year term notable.
War with Mexico has been avert
ed through patient statecraft that
persisted despite criticism, abuse
and lack of faith.
A strike of trainmen on ninety
eight Western railroads has been
prevented by the agreement of the
contending parties to arbitrate. This
strike would have been a catastro-
phe at any time; in view of other
complications, it would have been
UNNECESSARILY worse at this time.
Credit must be given to the men and
the managers for agreeing to get to-
gether, but this was not brought
about until the President had enter
ed the negotiations.
The placing of American business
conditions upon a basis where the
European disorders can affect them
little if at all was at the instance of
and with the cooperation of the adj
ministration, which is also to be
credited with fathering "a currency

the present situation.
In the last three or four months
it would have been distressingly easy
for a Presidential blunderer to en-
broil or embarrass the United States.
We have come through with credit

Antwerp. the city to which the
Belgian royal family removed to es-
cape the German advance on Brus-
sells, is not only one of the oldes;
cities in Europe, but has many times
played an important part in the
making of stirring history.
Antwerp appears in history as
early as the seventh century. A
century later 1t was an important
port and market town. In tho
twelfth century 1t was commercially
prosperous and under the rule of
the Dukes of Burgundy, who at
times aspired not only to the throne
of France but harbored designs tn
the crown of England In the
fifteenth century Antwerp was one
of the most important marts in Eu-
rope, the entering point for English
and continental trade. In the six
teenth century, under the rule of
Charles w., it was The seat of the
Hanseatic league and the money de-
pot of Europe. In ljS4-S5 il was
besieged. taken and ruined by the
Duke of Alva. In 1894 the French
took the city and restored its pros
perity. Napoleon the Great at
tempted to make it rival London.
Antwerp, located on the Scheldt,
having an outlet to the sea safe
guarded by the British and French
feet and being strongly fortified on
the landward side. is regarded as
impregnable, hence its selection by
King Albert as a place of refuge
