CHIEF FlYNN'S FIRE ESCAPE

William Flynn, the secret service
chief, used to have ambitions to be
an inventor. His taste ran toward
getting up a new-fangled fire escape
that would fold up when not in use
and not seriously mar the appearance
of building. He felt that if he could
just do something to save a few dis
tracted persons caught in burning
buildings he would not have lived in
vain. Being a resourceful person,
Flynn thought and thought about the
proposition until finally he got plan
all worked out. He showed his draw
ings to several friends, who declared
that it was thoroughly practical. All
that remained to be done was to have
the thing patented and then sit back
and reap the fortune that was his.
One afternoon he was strolling
across Brooklyn bridge on his way
to look at piece OF property he was
going to buy when the money began
to pour in from the new fire escape.
He CHANGED to glance across at a build

The clover-root curculio in it's most
dangerous form is tiny grub which

short time ago it was considered of
little economic importance. but it has
now been definitely established that
serious injuries formerly credited to
other pests or the cause remaining I'M
known are due to this tiny white grub.
The insect seems to be continually
increasing along roadsides and in clo-

According to Farmers Bulletin 649,

Idaho, Utah and Colora 10 in the West,
and Virginia, North Carolina, Ten

There is only one practical sugges-
tion that at present can be made for
limiting the devastations of this pest
That is by disking or narrowing the
fields as soon as the first hay crop
is removed. The process, it would
seem, will destroy vast numbers of the
pupae of this insect, which do not de-
scend much more than an inch below
the surface. The disking and har
rowing should be done Immediately
after removing the first hay crop, and

LACK OF A FEEDING SYSTEM
Responsible for Major Portion OF Loss
of Valuable Animals From Collie

(By w. III. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana
Experiment Station.)
After an opportunity during the last
25 years of studying and observing
conditions under which many OF our
work animals are fed, we have no hes
itancy in saying that lack of system In
feeding is responsible for the major
portion of the loss of valuable animals
from collie, Inflammation of the bow

Many who lose valuable mules on
the plantations and farms from diges-
tive troubles are wont to place the
blame of the kind or class of feed the
animals have been given; while, in
reality, the blame properly belongs to
the unnatural and unintelligent man
ner in which they receive their feed.
A properly balanced ration of the very
best quality of oats, when fed intel
ligently and systematically, may not

that Rogers determined to enter pub

to serve his first term March 4, 1912.

CARSON WISHES HE COULD FIGHT

Sir Edward Carson, the great
Irish anti-homerule leader, who sue
ceeded Sir John Simon as attorney
general in the coalition government,
made a striking confession when at
recruiting meeting he appealed for
more men.
Il only WISH he said, II were
young enough to be accepted, even as
a private. 1t would give me more joy
than any so-called honor won else
where. / would gladly give up every
thing If could be even in the ranks"
Always a fighter, Sir Edward was
at his best when there was a difficult
case to be won, his extraordinary
powers of cross-examination and the
icy, biting style he adopted towards
hostile witnesses being among his
greatest assets.
1t was in the days when he carried
out Mr.. Balfour's policy in ireland

of the modern screw. He began in

making of screws by machinery, and
his invention may be regarded as the
first example of the modern form of

before there had been made in France
a machine for cutting the thread on
