said not only to eat insects but will
stretch toward the spot where insects
are. In any event, they have been
found extended in the direction of a
tree upon which insects were feeding
on sap running from an incision.
Persons of wealth are now import
ing fine plants from foreign countries,
and amateur horticulturists are now
endeavoring to secure rare varieties
and freak plants.
h An American woman. Mrs. Treat,
proved conclusively that leaves of
certain plants could hear insects or
were conscious of The nearness of in
sects ven when there was no con-
tact between the plant and the body
of the insect, and demonstrated it by
pinning a live fly half an inch from a
leaf of sundew, whereupon the leaf
moved itself within the succeeding
two hours near enough to fasten it's
tentacles upon the insect.
Possibly this was due to the sense
of smell, but the fact that the buzzing
of the fly's wings as it died mad a
hum would indicate that the sense of
hearing actuated this carnivorous
plant.

Destructive insects.

We have heard the statement made
that each toad on a farm is worth sew

er. 1t is difficult to place an exact
value on any beneficial species, but
we are learning more and more to ap-
pr~eciate the natural enemies of our
destructive insects, and when one Of
them shows such distinctly beneficial
habits as does the toad, it deserves
special consideration.
Snails, grasshoppers, crickets. ants,
wireworms, potato beetles, cutwofms.
army worms. tent caterpiIlars and
many others of equal importance have
been found in the stomachs of toads.
Toads nave many natural enemies,
such as snakes. hawks and the like,
and numbers of them are killed by
lawn and farm machinery of
various kinds. We can well afford
t o study toads. with a view to giving
them protection. They should not be
killed for sport, as many animals are.
for they are too valuable.

MAKING WAR ON CHICH BUG
Difficult Matter to Deal With Pests
During Busiest of Their Activi
classification Is Urged.

Every summer, especially in the
sections which grow wheat largely,
we hear complaints of the ravages of
chinch bugs, which. after the wheat
becomes hard. moves into the corn.
Owing to the great powers of multi
plication of Insect pests. it is very
difficult to deal with them during the
busiest OF their activities. Something,
however, can be done in the way of
prevention, and prevention is always
better than cure.
The chinch bug lives over winter
under any covering that is available.
1t will hide in the long grass and
weeds in the fence corners, under
leaves and wherever it can get sufi-
cient covering. The thing to do is to
strip away the covering by cleaning
out and burning the rubbish in the
fence corners. and after the ground is
frozen running fire over meadows and
pastures that are no longer disable as
pastures for live stock. By doing this
the crop the coming season can be
greatly decreased, and still further de-
creased if farmers who are accus-
toned to growing wheat in a large
way will adopt a rational system of
farming involving a rotation of crops
in each section. SUCH a rotation as
may be profitable in that particular
section.
Adopt a rotation, clean out the
feuce corners IN hetter farming and
the chinch bug will not be a serious
trouble. It never is under these cir.
cumstances.

TO ERADICATE POTATO BUGS
Hand-Pickinq Method Is Best in Fami-
ly Patch-Paris Green and Plas-
ter Is Recommended.

For the family potato patch the
quickest way is to hand-pick the old
sags. The bugs may be easily caught
when torpid early in the morning
One bug, it is said, will lay several
hundred eggs. By gathering the bugs
there will be few worms.
When the young worms are found
in the heart of the potato vines the
best method is to dust with paris
green and plaster. One tablespoonful
of pure paris green mixed in one peck
Of dry plaster will be enough to dust
one-quarter of an acre of potatoes.
When the worms are in the small
foliage surrounding the blossoms and
when the worms are half grown and
are spread over the leaves twice this
quantity must be used. Two ~dustings
will be necessary to kill the first and
second broods.
Buy the best quality of paris green.
Old green or green hat has been ex-
posed to the air is nearly worthless
for killing worms. Use plenty of dry
powdered plaster. The plaster is ex-
cellent to increase the growth of the
vines. The best time to apply the
mixture is sarly in the morning when
the leaves are damp from dew.

FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH
Tadpole Grew and Waxed Fat on this
Infants Milk-Child
Is Dead.

The eighteen-months-old child OF
Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago is dead,
following an operation which disclosed
conditions that many surgeons had de-
clared to be impossible, says a Goshen
(lnd.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star.
While visiting her parents in SYRIA
cuse. Kosciusko county. last summer,
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water. Within a short time
the infant became sickly and lost flesh.
Treatment for indigestion was given,
but it did not reach the seat of the
trouble. Then an X-ray examination
disclosed a black spot on the stomach.
and an operation resulted in a frog
weighing more than half a pound be-
ing taken from the infant.
Doctors who operated said they be-
lieved that when the child drank n.y.
drant water in Syracuse a tadpole a
taken into the stomach and that the
frog developed and lived on milk,
which was given the patient in large
quantities. Following the operation
the child improved rapidly and com
plete recovery was. practically assured,
when pneumonia developed, causing
death.

BEAUTIFUL AND NUMEROUS
PLANTS

Al a recent flower show in New
York there vas a most remarkable
collection Of insect-eating plants, in
Guiding pitcher plants, nepenthes, ar
racecia mandaiana and moccasin
flowers. They were brought from Aus
tralia by w. A. Manda, formerly cur

gardens. Sensitive plants which close
up when they hear sharp sounds were

A publisher from Buenos Aires.
Brazil, has in his collection some re-
markable sensitive plants, among them
an unnamed species which differenti-
ates between the sound of violin play
ing tremendously and a harsh sound
either too loud or unpleasantly shrill
to be appreciated by the human ear.
In one case the plant apparently
enjoys the sweet music by moving the
petals Of its blossoms slightly. and

SELECTION OF LAYERS
Professor Kent Gives Rules Fol-
lowed at Cornell.
Examination Of Ear Lobe Is Consid-
cred to Be Almost InfaIIible-Vei-
Vety Texture of Hens Comb
is Also Good.

The expert eve can readily detect
laying hens aiming a flock of nonlay-
ers. Professor Kent gives the follow
ing rules observed at Cornell, some of
which we're worked out some years
ago by the Connecticut experiment
station:
Yellow-fegged birds quickly lay off
the color in their shanks when they
are laying. A hen which is laying
heavily almost loses the yellow color
suit OF her shanks. After Noting the
yellow color returns quickly.
Examination of the ear lobe is con-
sidered TO be almost infallible. A
chalky white ear lobe indicates a bird
is laying heavily, whereas a cream-col
ored one shows the bird is laying mod
erately, has just started or has just
stopped. A milk-colored ear lobe
shows the hen has laid slightly or has
stopped laying. A very yellow or dark
ear lobe indicates the hen has not LAIRD
at all.
1t is to be remembered that an ex

The more yelvety the texture of the
comb of a hen is the better is hel

she is laying heavily.
Out of 40 hens under observation a

lobes showed that they had laid 2:

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance o. shade is one of the
iuxuries which every farm home can
and should have. The city dweller is
often a renter and must take things
as they are. Or II he owns a home,
the lot is restricted In size. and large
trees are an impossibility. But on
the farm land for a commodious yard
should always be reserved.
Those having a grand old elm.
maple, or oak to begin with. are for
%tunate, indeed. But the idea that
Trees planted now OF these species will
be a comfort only to succeeding gen.
erations is quite a mistake.
Most Of the naples. and especially

BIG INCREASE Of
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease af Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ity branch CT the provincial depart
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite a third of the prov
ince vas affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
owe that Of the previous year. AL
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agrlculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen
eral with each succeeding year.
The value Of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul-
try. vegetables, and other ~by-products

1,147,3 S2 acres being seeded. and pro-
ducing "34,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of SOC
per bushel, these yielded a revenue of
17,19S,55S Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to I5,1O2,0 83 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an ave-
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value Of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,3S7,812. The total production o.
barley was 7,S47.6 $40 bushels, which, a

Destroy the protective tariff and

principal issue, virtually the only is
sue, on which the Democratic party
sought return to power in 1912. 1t
was a slogan that appealed to the
crowds. The people of the country
were enjoying better wages than ever
before, but they were paying high
prices for food. Since there was no
suggestion that the loss of protection
would mean the loss OF employment
also, a large number of the people
voted for what they thought would
mean a lower cost of living.
More than two years and a half
have passed since the people voted fol
the removal of protection and the low
ering of the cost of living. A major
ity, it is true, voted for the candidates
who favored a continuation of the
protective policy, but because the ma.
jority divided their votes between two
protectionist candidates the solid vote
of the minority, constituting a plu
rality, carried the day.

was destroyed. Yet the trend Of the
