largely due to neglect or prejudice
against the use of certain methods Of
control
The most serYiceable 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 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 helIebore, because it will
have lost its 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 212
pounds to so gallons of water, but we
prefer the hellebore. Hand picking is
a laborious method where only few
plants are grown.

MADE HIM CHANGE HIS SIGN
Bachelor Found That Persistent Sales
men Had Some Other Way OF
Getting Business.

An old bachelor, in order TO prevent
men annoying him by knocking at his
door TO dispose OF their wares, affixed
thereto label to this effect: Hawk
ers, take notice! The inhabitants OF
this house never buy anything at the
door. Shortly atterwar3 he was
aroused by loud knocking at his par
Tor window. and looking out he saw
two fellows with cloIhes-props, mats,
and pegs for sale. Throwing up the
sash, he bawled: Can you read?"
Yes, master" answered one
Then don't you see a notice affixed
to my knocker that / never buy any
thing at the door?"
TO be sure We do. That's the rea-
son why we thought we would make
bold and try to do little business
at the window"
The bachelor was pacifed, and made
a purchase. Immediately afterwards,
however, he sent for painter, and
had the addition made to his an
nouncement, Nor at the window

Weds In q Plaster Suit,

Miss Mary Elizabeth Seraner came
all the way to Saline county from
Fayetteville, o., to become the bride
of Francis de Sales Schneider. a
young farmer near Saline, and even
then came near losing out Tor delay
at least, but she was equal to the
occasion and is now Schneider's
bride. says a Saline (Kan) dispatch
to the Kansas City Journal.
The promised delay in the nuptial
affairs of this young couple was
caused by Schneider getting into a
runaway accident and sustaining a
broken leg, fractured ribs and bruises
all over his body, and his sweetheart
found him bound in plaster of paris
casts so tight he could not move.
The situation was discussed, the
young lady hooked up the favorite
horse to buggy and came to Saline,
secured the marriage license, engaged
the preacher and returned to the
farm.

PREVENTION or "SHEEP fly
Shearing Cuts Ought to Be Treated
at Once-Machines Tend to Re-
duce Cause of Attack.

The sheep that is struck by the
fly" is at first restless and excitable,
stamps its feet, runs about, and some
times trys to bite the part. Later 1t
becomes dull and detected, loses its
appetite, and stands listlessly about,
with its head hanging down, apart
from the flock TIE wool az the seat
OF the injury is rough and raised, and
as the maggots burrow their way into
the skin and tissues, causing suppl
ration, close examination shows NOV
ing mass OF them. Unless these mag
gots are destroyed and the wound
kept clean, the torture ends in death.
Prevention is better than cure,
and III the case of fly it saves the
animal much pain and annoyance
and considerable damage to the fleece.
Prevention includes the prompt treat
ment Of shearing cuts, fighting wounds
or abrasions Of the skin generally at
the time of the infection, and espe-
cially of shearing wounds, which are
too often neglected. The increasing
employment. of machines in shearing
Will tend to the reduction of this
cause of fly attack
The removal of dirty locks OF wool
and the trimming of the soiled parts
is imperative. These precautions,
however, will not always suffice, for
the yolk Of the wool will prove sufi-
cient attraction unless poisoned or
i -
pest will sometimes strike, especially
on hot days, and when there is thun-
der in the air.

CARE IN FEEDING NEW CORN
Severe Losses May Be Avoided by Ex-
ercising 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 stom-
ach. 1t means a 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 a 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 viii 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.

Sheridan Knowles Widely Known
rrams of "Virginius" Is Open
to Criticism,

James Sheridan Knowles, an Irish
schoolmaster, who had also been an
actor, whose father was first cousin
to Richard Brinsley Sheridan, brought
TO Macready a tragedy called "Vir-
ginius," widely proclaimed as a re-
turn to truth and to nature as against
artihcialities of the times.
''Virginius" is an admirable exam
pie of the ordinary bourgeois drama,
a bourgeois drama applied, unfortu-
nately, to Roman tragedy. Everyone
knows, of course, the story of the sol
der Virginius, who killed his daugh-
ter rather than she should fall into
the hands of Appius.
When Shakespeare dealt with Ro-
man plays he made. it is true. his
characters Englishnen, but he made
them of heroic mold Brutus and
Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and the
rest, are certainly not commonplace,
even though one can hardly describe
them as accurately drawn in accord
ance with their Latin types.
But of all the characters of Sheri-
dan Knowles play it can safely be
said that they are just mediocre, bour-
geois, commonplace Englishmen and
Englishwomen of the times.
Virginius, for instance, is an excel
lent father of the middle class, whom
we could imagine going down to his
city office every day and returning to
the suburbs in the evening. Virginia,
the lovely heroine, is a simpering
schoolgirl virtuous idiot.
If this is what a return to nature
meant, it must be confessed that it
is kind of nature that we do not
want perpetuated.-Exchange.

WITH BARNS
FULL Of STOCK
Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Tines in Western Canada.

A Meyer, who left one Of the best
Counties In Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is well
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say / was greatly surprised
when reached Saskatchewan and Al
berta would be expressing it mildly.
In a country where so much suffering
was reported, I found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed, found with their barns
full Of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections Of the
haest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
IN crops this year.
Prospects for bumper crop are
splendid It is little cold now, but
nothing is frosted, either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
req sonabIy here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war. Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing a good
home with a farm and independence
for life in a short time. Before I
started I heard that prices were so
high. Flour was reported at S12 per
hundred it is $4.25 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in MINI. The
only article that I found higher
was kerosene at 35 cts per gallon.
When I saw the land I wondered why
people do not live where they pro-
duce enough from the soil to make a
comfortable living. We visited T. T.
Safer John Dahls, W. J. and r. D.
Hollis, Martin Halmen, Ole HaIvorson,
VIM. Walker and Geo. Colby, all
from Bagley. We found well and pros
porous farmers who wished TO be re
membered to all their Bagley friends"

Cheap Beef and Milk.

More than ever, this season of high
oriced grain, will we see the money in
making beef and milk more largely
on cheap roughage. Our beef making
must continually grow more nearly
like the methods Of the old countries.
We are going to use more roughage
and less grain. In the past we have
used too much corn and too little
corn stalk Conditions have changed
wonderfully since that system Of feed
ing began.

AVerse to Slam.

Just to show how much averse to
slang he was, small boy in Chicago
school explained to the teacher one
day that he had been walking with
friend, but neglected to take off his
hat when they met a lady both knew.
His friend had nudged him, and whis-
pered:
Take off your lid, yoS simp!"
What he should have said," ex-
planned the boy, was Remove your
hat, you nut'"
The general sentiment is summed
up in the words of small boy, who
ventured this:
Anyway, it's only roughnecks who
use slang nowadays"

At this season of the year, cabbage
fields are visited by large numbers Of
small butterflies which deposit large
quantities Of eggs on the leaves of the
cabbage plants. These eggs hatch in
few days and develop hordes Of
small greenish cabbage worms. These
worms feed on the leaves Of the cab
bage, sometimes eating out consider
able holes and frequently eating into
the newly formed heads. The worms
are easily controlled if destructive
measures are promptly begun and

GROWING Potatoes,

To guard against disease and infe-
flor quality of potatoes it is necessary
to rotate crops.
Grow alfalfa, clover or peas two or
three years, grain one year and pota-
toes one year is good system
Select good seed. Too much indif-
ference with regard to the quality Of
seed results in crops of inferior quail
ity and the amount consumed is far
less than if a good quality is produced.
