If you have ants in your front yard

other flowers. They aren't going to kurt
the flowers. The Department Of Agrf-

Charges Made Regarding Lads who
Went to England on Cattle Boats.


Went to England on Cattle Boats.
The State Department yesterday admit
ted it had received a series Of complaints
from Boston, transmitted through men,
bers OF Congress, that American boys
who had shipped on cattle boats to Eng
land had been persuaded to join the
British army.
Denial was made by the department
that British officials were charged with
attempting to force these boys to enlist
and 1t was stated that in almost every
case since the beginning of the war the
British government had discharged from
its army such American citizens under
age as were made the object OF rep
reservations through the State Depart
ment.
An appeal by the parents of the boys
has generally been sufficient to lead to
the removal of these young Americans
from the British ranks. Several OF the
recruits from Boston have been only If
teen or sixteen years Of age, according
to their parents statements.

In the Society islands,

Pigs represent a kind of concrete
Idea of position among most of the
natives of the Society islands. These
animals, in fact, are just as carefully
nursed as children. Only male pigs
are esteemed, however, and are tied
all their lives to a pole under a little
roof, while the sows run wild.
THE pigs are ca: efully fed" writes
Doctor Speiser. "but this, their only
pleasure, is spoiled by constant and
terrific toothache, caused by cruel
man, who has a horrible custom of
knocking out the upper eyeteeth of
the male. The lower teeth. finding
nothing to rub against, grow to a sur.
prising size, first upward. then down,
until they again reach the jaw. grow
On and on, through the cheek, through
the jawbone, pushing out a few other
teeth on the way. Then they come
out of the jaw again and curve a sec
ond, sometimes a third, time. II the
poor beast lives long enough.

CARING FOR LATE POTATOES
After First Few Weeks OF Growth
Use Light c%ultivator.

On many farms the potatoes are
well cared for during the first few
weeks of their growth, but late in the
season they are left to take care of
themselves.
1t is true that deep cultivation,
after the plants are fairly well grown.
will be harmful, but the occasional
use of a light cultivator, with teeth
not more than an inch and a quarter
wide, may well be continued until the
tubers are nearly ripe, or the vines
have become so large as to prevent
further work between the rows.
The destruction of injurious insects
Is another matter which usually re-
ceives fairly prompt and thorough at
tention during the first half of the
growing season, but which, on many
farms, does not receive sufficient at
tention later on. The fight against
the enemies should be continued to
the end of the growing season. This
will allow the tubers to reach their
full size and to become thoroughly
ripe. It will also do much to prevent
the appearance of large numbers of
bugs" next year.

DESTROY BROWN-TAIL MOTH
Contact With Hairs Of Insect Causes
Poisonous Rash on Human Be-
inss-Big Menace to Trees.

One of the most serious effects of
the presence of the brown-tail moth
in a community is that Of the peculiar
skin disease it may produce. Some of
the hairs of the full-grown caterpillar
are furnished with minute barbs.
When the caterpillars mott these
barbed hairs are shed with the skin
and as the skins become dry and are
blown about by the wind the hairs
may be quite generally disseminated.
When the hairs alight upon the human
skin they cause an irritation, which
upon rubbing may develop into in
fiammation.
Men who come in contract with
these poisonous hairs during their
work in the parasitic laboratory in
Massachusetts, use the following rem
edy for the brown-tail rash: Carbolic
acid one-half dram, zinc oxide me-
half ounce, lime water eight ounces;

CARE OF HORSE IN SUMMER
Every Reason for Giving Faithful AMI
NAL Best Attention and Liberal
Amount Of Cooling Food.

During the warmest Of the summer
days there is blowing and much har.
vesting work for the horses to do.
There is every reason for giving the
horse the best Of care and attention,
and a liberal amount of cooling feed,
1t is difficult for you to hustle on
hot days and it Is just as wearing on
the horse. Often you stop the team
and rest in the shade for a few min
utes several times during the day.
Why not give the horses the benefit
of the cooling shade breezes?
You drink often and the dumb
brutes that are doing the hardest of
the work will appreciate an opportu-
nifty to drink several times during the
day. Better not let the horses gulp
water in large quantities unless you
want a foundered animal.
How refreshing and restful is a
good plunge in the old creek which
flows through the backwoods pas
ture, after a hard days work. It
makes o feel like a new man. And
faithful Dobbin will appreciate it if
you sponge off the harness marks,
especially over the shoulders where
the heavy collar has been rubbing all
day. Put a little salt into the cold
