VIII Knott Clean
The Tallahassee Democrat Is again
reiterating it's old eploded charges
and begging Comptroller Knott to mo-
tice them. Will Knott is too clean
and dignified to answer any charge
against him that is altogether mali
cious and groundless. He has too
much to do. He knows that any man
who would make one false statement
would mako thousand Il noticed
enough. He is no mud-slinger, and
has no part with mud-slingers. What's
more, he doesn't stand behind q tree
and hand out mud to another man to
sling for him. We have known him
long time down In these parts, and
we have never known him to get down
in the dirt with any man. He has
friends enough over the state to kick
the dirt off the man who Hes under 1t,
and expose his mud-slingfng to the
public. Another thing We notice Is
that VIII Knott's friends are not try
ing to elevate him through an at
tempt to crush another man. He Is
big enough to stand on his own merits.
Nobody ever heard him abuse another
man or attempt to set himself right
by proving that another man Is wrong.
There are some men In tho world who
can't rise except by knocking another
man down and standing on him, but
Mr.. Knott stands up straight and
clean, and wants his opponents to
stand right by him In an honest and
manly fight. The opponent who stoops
to pick up mud will find in the END
that Will Knott has walked right ovel

of these helpful little insects are de-
stroyed, when they should be carefully
protected
One of the most conspicuous eX-
amples in history of controlling pest
by means of lady-beetles occurred in
California some twenty-five years ago.
An Australian insect known as the
futed or cottony cushion scale APP
peared in California on orange trees
and spread so rapidly over the state
that the extensive orange growing in
dustry was threatened. BY request,
Mr.. Albert Koebele was appointed
agent of the United States to attend
the Melbourne exposition, and while
in Australia paid special attention to
searching for the insect enemies OF
the huted scale. A lady beetle was
found feeding upon the scale and
specimens were collected, and five
separate lots altogether about 500
specimens) were brought from Aus
tralia to California and placed upon
the scale-infested trees. The lady
beetles multiplied and their progeny
were soon transported to each orange
growing section. In a few years the
cottony cushion scale had been
brought under complete control by the
Australian lady-beetle; 1t has never
since done much damage on the Pa
cific coast, and the orange industry
still fourishes.
In less striking manner and on a
smaller scale our native lady-beetles
are continually demonstrating their
ability to clean up shrubs, trees and
even orchards which were severely at.
tackled by plant lice. There are about
$50 different kinds Of lady-beetles in
this country.

WHITEWASH FOR THE TREES
Excellent Protection Afforded to Bark
From Sunburn and eorers-
Keeps Rabbits Away.

Whitewash is an excellent protec-
ton to the bark from both sunburn
and borers. 1t is particularly 'valu-
able for young trees, as after trees
reach a good size the branches gem
orally become sufficiently large and
the foliage sufficiently thick to shade
the bark and prevent the injury that
the hot sun would otherwise do.
The best time to apply the white
wash is in the early spring, or before
the sun has become too hot and yet at
a time when the danger of heavy rains
washing off the lime is passed. 1t Is
not well to delay too long or the sun
burn may occur in clear weather be-
tween rains.
There are dozens Of whitewash reel
pes, all with merit, some more dur
able than others, and durable white
wash is generally to be desired. For
fruit trees a whitewash can be made
by the addition of tallow, which is
durable and also protection against
rabbits Such wash can be made
with 80 pounds of lime, pounds Of
tallow and pounds of salt. The salt
is dissolved in the water used in
shaking the lime and the tallow added
to the hot mixture, which is thinned
to the desired consistency before using.
Spoiled fat or grease Of any kind
can be substituted for the tallow and
the amount can be increased If de-
sired II there is danger of attract
ing animals by the salt 1t can be left

Aside from the inconvenience, the
reason why parents SO comomnly OBJ

questioning habit is the fear that the
child will never permit them to make
any exceptions, but experience has
proved that the fear is groundless. In
stead of making himself disagreeable,
the child usually acquiesces. He is
willing for once to remain ignorant;
for having learned that his father
and mother are sympathetic and rea-

AIDS THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS
Importance Of Thorough Mastieation
OF Food Is Hardly Properly
Understood.

"Chew your food WE'LL" is a motto
which should be written large on the
walls of dining rooms, restaurants,
and every other place where human
beings eat. The reason is that in or.
der to digest food in the shortest pos.
sible time, and with the least possible
effort, it must first be dissolved, and
this can be accomplished only by ade-
quate chewing.
Just how much thorough chewing
lessons the strain on the digestive ap.
paratus can be seen by very simple
experiment.
Take a oneinch cube of hard, solid,
non-porous sugar candy and drop it
into pint of water. 1t will take at
least half an hour and perhaps much
longer to dissolve, because a cube
of this size has only six square inches
of surface exposed to the solvent &C.
tion of the water.
If, however, a similar cube Of candy
is broken into 100 smaller pieces be-
fore being placed in the water it will
dissolve 1U,UUO times as quickly, pe-
cause there is now 10000 times as
much surface area exposed.
In digestion we have to deal not
merely with simple solution but with
the chemical conversion Of insoluble
into soluble substances-a much more
difficult process. For this reason a
one.inch cube of solid food would take
much more than 10000 times as long
to digest as the same quantity which
has been reduced to fine bits by the
action of the teeth and the saliva
glands.
Science now believes that much
modern dyspepsia arises from our hay
ing lost the habit Of living on hard,
dry foods. When all our food was 80
hard that it had topbe well chewed be-
fore we could swallow it our salivary
glands were kept more active and our
teeth cleaner.

tial posts and fastening the bull by
chain from the ring in his nose to a
ring which slips loosely over the wire.
This makes a secure fastening and
one which experience has proved
practicable.
When kept in this way the bull Is
also more easily managed. A dairy
bull makes a dangerous pet and
should never be SO far trusted as to
be in position where he can get the
advantage of his attendant. Those
unfortunate accidents which have
sometimes occurred have usually been
due to o, erconfidence on the part OF
the attendant.

MANAGING THE DAIRY BULL
