TO ERADICATE POTATO BUGS
Hand-Picking Method Is Best In Faml.
ly Patch-Paris Green and PIas.
ter Is Recommended.

For the family potato patch the
quickest way is to hand-pick the ole
bugs. The bugs may be easily caught
when torpid early in the morning
One bug, it is said, will lay severa
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 tho best quality of paris green
Old green or green that 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 early in the morning when
the leaves are damp from dew.

STORY OF HALF RAVEN,

A witch who had two daughters
lived in cave in the forest. One
daughter was good and the other was
bad. for she was like her mother, who
was bad witch.
The good daughter had a pet raven,
Of which she was very fond, and one
day the bad girl said to her: Give
me half of your raven and l will feed
1t half the time."
The good daughter, not suspecting
the bad girls motive, said: I'VE will
own 1t together" But one day the bad
girl said: Il want my half Of the
raven to give to the cat" The good
girl cried and begged her not to do
such wicked thing. Il will give you
my half" she said, IF you will let the
raven live"
But the bad girl said NO." and cut
the raven in half and gave her half
to the cat The good girl sat crying
beside the other half. when, to her sur
prise, it jumped up and hoped about
on one leg and tapped its wing.
DO not weep, Mistress" he said;
L will punish your sister for taking
away my other half" And spreading
its wing, Half Raven flew away.
After while he met an eagle. "Give
me one of your feathers" he said to
the eagle. The eagle gave it, and Half
Raven flew away with the feather
tucked under his wing. He went a
little farther and met a fox. Give me
hair from your TAIL" he said,
The fox gave it to him, and Half
Raven flew back to the hut where his
mistress lived and flew in.
The bad girl was there, and when
Half Raven saw her he began to say:
TO evil deeds your hands you lend.
You'll surely come to some bad end"

SELECTION OF LAYERS
Professor Kent Gives Rules Fol-
lowed at Cornell.
Examination Of Ear Lobe 10 consld
cred to Be Almost lnfaIlIble-veI-
vety Texture Of Hens Comb
10 Also Good.

The expert eye can readily detect
laying hens among a flock Of nonlay
ers. Professor Kent gives the follow
ing rules observed at Cornell, some OF
which were worked out some years
ago by the Connecticut experiment
station:
Yellow-legged birds quickly lay of
the color in their shanks when they
are laying. A hen which is laying
heavily almost loses the yellow color
out of her shanks. After melting 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 laid
at ALL
1t is to be remembered that an ex.
tremely white ear lobe also may mean
very low vitality.
The more velvety the texture of the
comb of a hen is the better il her
health, and it is almost a certain sign
she is laying heavily.
Out of 40 hens under observation at
Cornell, six with chalky white ear
lobes showed that they had laid 90

food should not of sloppy kind
