largely due to neglect or prejudice
against the use of certain methods Of
control
The most serviceable remedy which
has been used in the university gar
den is white hellebore, a vegetable
poison obtainable at any good drug
store. This material comes in a pow
der form and loses its poisonous prop
critics in a short time if exposed to
the air. Therefore it must be fresh.
Apply it as a spray mixed in water at
the rate of one ounce to three gallons
OF soapy water The soap makes the
solution stick to the leaves. There is
absolutely no danger associated with
the use of hellebore. because it will
have lost it's poisonous property before
the cabbage is marketed. Further
more, there is no chance for the ma
terial to get into the interior of the
head, because cabbage heads form
from the inside and the outside leaves
are removed before use. This ma
terial must be applied thoroughly as
often as the worms begin to appear
numerous. Arsenate of lead may also
be used effectively at the rate Of 21s
pounds to so gallons of water. but we
prefer the hellebore. Hand picking is
a laborious method where only few
plants are grown.

RULE FIXING TIME
OF CREAM TESTING
Colorado Stations Find 1t lmpos-
Sible to Do Work Accurate

(By R. M'CANN. Colorado Experiment
Station)
All those delivering cream 20 cream
stations and those operating shipping
stations will be interested in the new
ruling whereby all cream station tests
are to be made the day following the
delivery of the cream.
1t has been found absolutely impos
'sible to do the acurate, careful work
required to make tests during the
rush hours of business, and it is for
this reason, namely, to insure the
farmer of correct tests and give the
operators time to make them, that
this ruling has been passed. BY this
method a check will be forthcoming
at the time of each delivery with the
exception of the first, and no delay or
waiting will be necessary on the part
of the farmer or dairyman.
Several adjoining states have had a
similar law in effect for years past.
and are well pleased with the results
obtained. 1t has proved benefit 10
all concerned, and is being firmly
backed by dairymen and cream cry
men alike.

TO CONSERVE PLANT
FOOD IN THE SOIL
Sooner or Later TiIIer Must Quit
Robbing Soil and Feed 1t
as He Feeds FIocks.

(By H. L. RUSSELL, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
The processes of soil formation are
continually in the making. Weather
ing is slowly but constantly releasing
new plant food. while at the same time
the processes of depletion, erosion,
teaching and waste are lessening the
value of this asset.
To conserve this bank account and
to transmit it unimpaired to future
generations is duty which the hui
man race owes to posterity, but as
with nearly all of our natural re-
sources, man has wasted more than he
has used. In earlier years, when
knowledge did not exist, or was i'm
perfectly appreciated. wanton prac-
tices led to rapid depletion CT exhaus-
ton. Every virgin area that has been
opened up for settlement by man has
had its pioneer generation of soil min
ers, but If future human life is to re-
ceive adequate support from the sell
sooner or later the soil-tiller must quit
robbing the land and feed his soil as
he feeds his flocks.
The last decade or two has brought
the American farmer to a more com.
plete realization than he has ever be
fore known, of the duty that lies be
fore him. The lessons that China and
Japan learned a thousand years ago
or more made their way slowly to
ward the occidental world. Even the
teachings of old England and the
plains of Continental Europe fell heed
less on American ears. To our fathers
the so-cailed inexhaustible fertility OF
the magnificent Mississippi Valley
could never be used up, but the de
clining crop yields Of section, wheth
er it is wheat, corn or cotton, spell
lessening profit and impairment oi
capital.
Science has now shown in no unmis
taxable terms that as the chain is nc
stronger than its weakest link, SO the
soil is no richer than its content of its
most indispensable element, whether
it be depleted of its potash or phos
phorus by age-long teaching or more
rapidly by careless crop production
matters little. The effect is the same

CARE IN FEEDING NEW CORN
Severe Losses May Be Avoided by Ex-
ercisins Judgment in Changing
From One Field 20 Another.

Unless hogs have plenty of pasture
and forage crops the change of feed
must be gradual to escape derange-
ment of digestion and disordered Ft6m-
ach. 1t means little more work to
feed supplemental feed and old corn
with the new. but the advantages are
so great that feeders should not neg
lect that which is safest, and promises
the best returns.
Hogs relish new corn, and we are
often tempted to feed too much at the
start. At least months time should
be taken to bring them from pasture
and forage crops to a full feed of
corn. 1t requires more bushels of
new corn to make the same gain that
sound corn will make. Hence it is
advantageous, both from the stand
point of health and profit, to feed some
old corn while bringing the hogs to a
full feed of new corn. Severe losses
may be avoided by the exercise OF care
and judgment in feeding new corn.

The alfalfa seed destroyer, known
as the chalcis-fiy, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the Gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States. BY harvesting
severely infested crops, by cleaning
fence lines and ditch banks, and by
winter cultivation the grower of alfal-
ia seed may help to control this in

EGGS DAMAGED BY
IMPROPER STORAGE
Hens Should Be Provided With
Plenty of Clean Nests-Store
in Dark, Cool Place.

Dirty eggs can be avoided by clean
quarters and plenty of nests. In mud
dy times keep the floor of the poultry
house well bedded with clean litter
One of the chief causes of dirty eggs
is too few nests. A hen lays a clear
egg and leaves the nest, another hen
gets in the nest and stepping around in
it before she sits down, fouls the
clean egg laid by the first hen. Wet
straw in the nests often stains the
eggs dirty yellow. Do not wash eggs
This Injuries their keeping qualities.
Eggs kept in a damp, moldy place
and eggs smeared over from broker
eggs develop rotten spots. The farm
er should keep eggs in a cool, dry,
dark place. A cool, dry cellar is 9
good place. Eggs are damaged quick
ly in damp cellar or in a warm pan
try or kitchen.
Eggs should be gathered daily in
cool weather and twice day or often
er in hot weather. They should be
placed as soon as gathered in a cool
dry place, and should be protected
from heat by being covered while OF

that, when properly taken care of, will

Mcldy feeds and overfeeding are
likely to produce eggs with a bad IA
vor. Eggs absorb bad odors from veg
erables, meat, kerosene and other bat
smelling surroundings. Eggs packed
in bran, oats or chaff that are nodded
or damp are likely to absorb odors OF
f1avors. Eggs should never he placed

are gathered in a tin pail. The metal
is likely to make spot on the shell

PLAY NEVER REAL TRIUMPH

to Criticism.

James Sheridan Knowles. an Irish
schoolmaster. who had also been an
actor, whose father was first cousin
70 Richard Brinsley Sheridan, brought
to Macready tragedy called "Vir
ginius." widely proclaimed as a re-
turn to truth and to nature as against
artificialities of the times.
"virginius" is an admirable exam
pie Of the ordinary bourgeois drama.
bourgeois drama applied, unfortu-
nately. to Roman tragedy. Everyone
knows, Of course, the story of the sol

characters Engiishmen. but he made

Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and the
rest, are certainly not commonplace.
even though one can hardly describe
them as accurately drawn In accord

But of all the characters Of Sheri-
dan Knowles play It can safely be
said that they are Just mediocre, bour-

half-grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing fly, the insect eats its way out
through the shells of the infested
seeds, and then through the green
pods. Large portions of the seeds are
followed out in this manner, when
they are still green and growing.
The infested seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds.
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy ap
pearance of normal seeds.
The extent to which alfalfa seed is
damaged by the fly is not generally
apparent, owing to the minuteness of
the insect and because its destructive
work is accomplished within the
growing seeds. Pasture the field when
possible to save the next crop.

GINGER AND SODA
GOOD FOR POULTRY
Easily Prepared Mixture Will
Keep Digestive Organs Toned
and in Condition.

Where milk is fed regularly to the
chickens, teaspoonful of ginger and
soda added to each gallon every third
or fourth day will prevent cholera or
other bowel tro.pies. Stir the mix
ture until thoroughly dissolved. before
feeding. This is very easily prepared
and will keep their digestive organs
toned and sweetened.
When fatteping fowls, skim milk
should be used to mix the mash. They
like it better, and in this way are in
duced to eat just as much more as the
milk, while serving as moisture to wet
the mash, is also hearty food
The food for young ducks should be
mixed with milk, and curds made from
sour milk are indispensable for young
turkeys.
