KNEW WEAKNESS OF MEN
DR.. Johnson's Idea of Their GIorifica-
ton of War Showed Him a
Student of Nature.

Sturdy Englishman that he was,
one hardly associates Doctor Johnson
with dicta that will serve in recruit
ing campaign. Perhaps the times,
says the Westminster Gazette, hold
events of such gargantuan import
that it is hardly matter for wonder
that in casual reading one may chance
upon a passage in the utterances of
a past giant that seems particularly
apt in reference to current events of
eour time:
1--WE talked of war;" says Boswell.
Johnson: Every man thinks meanly
of himself for not having been a SOL
der, or not having at sea-" Boswell:
Lord Mansfield does not" "Sir, if
Lord Mansfield were in company of
general officers and admirals who
have been in service he would shrink;
he'd wish to creep under the table,"
-. mo, sir; were Socrates and
Charles XII of Sweden both present
in any company, and Socrates to say,
Follow me and hear lecture on phil
osophy;' and Charles, laying his hand
on his sword, to say, Follow me and
dethrone the car; man would be
ashamed to follow Socrates. Sir, the
impression is universal; yet it is
strange"
The impression, at any rate, contin-
ues widespread today.

GETTING A LIVE INTEREST.

deal of notice of them before they are
grown up. The boy or the girl of to-
day is the man or woman of tomorrow
In very little time. Get the neigh
borhood idea into them. Make them
want to belong and grow up with the
ambition of becoming useful members
Of this community. Start the good
work at home first, if you have not al
ready done so. Let the boy or the girl
raise patch of corn or potatoes,
flock of chickens, calf or a pair of
lambs. Encourage them to make what
they can and let them keep what they
make Be companion to them. Take
an interest in how they are getting
along with their work. Advise them
and help them. Have them grow up
with real interest in the home place
and the home neighborhood.
II you have local teacher who Is
willing to take pains to make country
life interesting to the pupils, find some
way to give him or her encouragement
If you have not teacher willing or
able to do this work, do 1t yourself.

0RcHARDISTS SHOULD GUARD
AGAINST SCALE INJURY.
Spraying With Lime Sulphur Solution
While Dormant Is Recommended.
T. B. SYMONS,
Director of the Extension Service.

1t is now the duty of every orchard
list to examine his orchard and pre-
pare for the dormant spraying, for the
control of the San Jose scale. In
some sections of the State, we have
received reports that the San Jose
Scale has increased considerably dur
ing the past season; in others, it has
not given much trouble. The pest
should be watched carefully in each
orchard, and only after a very
thorough examination should the
orchardist decide not to treat or to
skip season of dormant spraying. In
the case of peach trees the orchardist
should remember that dormant spray
ing with lime-sulphur tends to reduce
injury from curlleaf.
The concentrated lime-sulphur solu.
ton is now quite generally used for
the control of the pest. 1t can best
be purchased from manufacturers or
the solution can be made on the farm
When only small orchard is to be
treated, it is undoubtedly best to pur
chase the solution, but if large NUM-
Der of trees is to be sprayed and the
grower desires to practice economy, he
can mix the solution himself with lit.
tie inconvenience. There Is practically
no difference in the effectiveness Of
good homemade concentrated solution
and good manufactured product For
those who may desire to make theiI
own solution, the following formula
and method of preparation is con
sidered the best.

PoTTED PLANTS FOR THE
LIVING ROOM.

Many lovers of flowers who have
not the time to bother with an indoor
window-box enjoy keeping a number
OF potted plants in the living room dur
ing the winter. Some, in fact, have
turned bay window into a small
conservatory or winter garden merely
by an attractive arrangement of plants
In separate pots When window-box
Is filled, the plants must be of the
same general character to be success
full, but if ones winter garden is made
up OF plants in separate pots greater
variety may be kept, as each plant
may receive different treatment in the
matter of light, watering, soil, etc, and
palms, rubber plants, and cacti. which
call for special handling. may be
added

NElGHBORHOOD SHORT COURSES
A NEW FEATURE OF EXTEN-

Agricultural College, rural and subur-
ban people for instruction along any
particular line in which the neighbor.
hood is especially interested; that is,
more thorough and extended than is
possible at one-day meeting or visit.
The Neighborhood Short Course is
conducted for four days at any given
place. Sessions may be held in the
morning and afternoon, or evening, de-
pending upon the desire and conven-
fence of the patrons.
Instruction is given in the following
subjects: Soils, Farm Crops, Orchard
Crops, Truck Crop, Gardening, Dairy
Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry, Plant
Diseases and Injurious Insects. It is
recommended that not more than two
OF these subjects be discussed at any
one school, so that each may be con.
Quoted as thoroughly as possible.
The aim is to give lectures on the
subject supplemented by practical
demonstrations. The most essential
thing for the success of the neighbor-
hood short courses is,-that the farm.

UNHAPPY FATE OF DRoNES
Few Indeed Are Their Hours of En-
joyment and Sad the End That
Awaits Them All.

Drones are usually looked upon as
lazy, useless creatures. They never
do any work, but are fed by the work
er bees on the best the hive can af-
ford, and this in season of the year
when the workers are busiest for "a
hours day with the gathering and
curing of honey. Why do the bees
treat them with such respect in the
busy harvest time? The reason is
that the bees are raising a number of
young queens at this time, for the fu-
ture generation. The queen is des-
tined to be the mother of all the bees
reared in the hive for the next year
or two. She is the only one in the
hive that can lay eggs, and she will
some day lay them at rate of from
two to four thousand a day. The
drones are the male bees raised at the
same time with the queens. From
their midst the virgin queen will some
day select her mate. Without them
she could not attain maternity, held
by the bees in greatest honor. For
this reason they are treated royalty
until the wedding trip of the queen.
When she returns "a widow, leaving
her drone-mate USUALLY the most per-
sistent of all suitors) dead in the
field, the bees make short work of the
remaining drones. They seize them
by the neck and throw them out of
the hive bodily to die of hunger in
the midst of plenty-Francis Jaeger.
