TO ERADICATE POTATO BUGS
Hand-PickIno Method 10 Best in FamI-
ly Pateh-Paris Green and Pias-
ter ls Recommended.

For the family potato patch the
quickest way is to hand-pick the old
bugs. 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 greer.
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.

ToADs ARE OF GREAT VALUE
Farmers Learning More and More to
Appreciate Natural Enemies Of
Destructive Insects.

We have heard the statement made
that each toad on farm is worth sew
eral dollars a season to the land own
er. 1t is difficult to place an exact
value on any beneficial species, but
We are learning more and more to ap-
preciate the natural enemies of our
destructive insects, and when one OF
them shows such distinctly beneficial
habits as does the toad, 1t deserves
special consideration.
Snails. grasshoppers, crickets, ants,
wireworms, potato beetles, cutworms.
army worms, tent caterpillars and
many others of equal Importance have
been found in the stomachs Of toads.
Toads have many natural enemies,
such as snakes, hawks and the like,
and numbers OF them are killed by
lawn mowers and farm machinery OF
various kinds. We can well afford
10 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.

SELECTION OF LAYERS
Professor Kent Gives Rules Fol-
lowed at Cornell.
Examination of Ear Lobe 10 consid-
cred to Be Almost InfaIIihIe-vel-
vety Texture Of Hens Comb
Is Also Good.

The expert eye can readily detect
laying hens among 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 molting 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 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.
It 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 is 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 %

FEEDING THE TURKEY PoULTs
Nothing but Water and Sand Should
Be Given Young Fowls Until
They Are One Day Old.

Turkey poults require no food until
day or two old, as nature has pro-
vided for them, but water and sand
should be placed within reach. The
food should not be of a sloppy kind,
as that leads to bowel trouble.
Curds or dutch cheese is liked by
them and they thrive on It. Stale
bread, moistened and squeezed dry, is
good. Onion tops and dandelion leaves
minced fine should be fed each day
while in confinement. Corn bread
is the best food when two weeks old.
