DESTROY WHITE FLY
ON TOMATO PLANTS
Department Of Agriculture Rec
ommends Fumigation With
Hydrocyanic Gas.

For white fly on tomatoes the ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
recommend fumigation with hydro
cyanic acid gas. Special care is ne
cessary for the use of this poisonous
gas, however, and in some cases it is
undesirable or impractical. In such
cases an all-night fumigation with a
tobacco extract is recommended. This
should be followed the next day by a
Swinging with whale oil soap or it's
equivalent. The best brands Of whale
oil soap, used in the proportion Of one
to one and one-half ounces per gallon
of water, have been found to destroy
all Of the white flies except the eggs,
a small percentage of the nearly ma
ture pupae, and from rs to so per
cent of the adults which escape the
spray by flying from the plants. 1t is
not advisable to syringe tomato plants
In greenhouses at any time, when
avoidable, as Swinging interferes with
pollination and produces a damp at
mosphere which promotes rot, but the
injury by Swinging may be as moth
ing compared with that which Is
caused daily by the insects.

Door condition to resist any disease
that is liable to attack him under such
condition. 1t is all right to crowd pigs
from birth to maturity provided they
are crowded with growth as well as
fat.
The first two months must be spent
in building up a frame work and con-
stitution which will carry a load of fat
which is to be put on during the close
of the feeding period.
The wise feeder does not figure so
much on the amount of fat he can put
on his hogs as he does on how quickly
and cheaply he can prepare them for
market and how much profit he can
make during the feeding period.
The farmer who has a hundred
acres of corn and no clover pasture or
alfalfa is not in a good position as re-
CARDS hog feeding. Glover, alfalfa,
wheat bran, pumpkins and skim milk
are all necessary to the proper feed
ing of hogs from the time they are
pigs to the time they are sent to mar
ket. If a man has no sensible knowl
edge Of balanced rations, he can, II
he is a close observer and possessed
of common sense, generally tell when
his hogs are making the right kind OF
growth.
If he observes his hogs becoming
chubby with rolls of fat, skin pale
showing anemic conditions, listless
and lacking in snap and vigor, he will
know that they are getting too much
corn and will change or vary his ra'
ton to overcome these %unfavorable
conditions.

MAKE PROFIT WITH
SHEEP ON ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have
Fewer Ailments Than Any
Other Farm Animal.

For the man who has rough or poor
land with short pastures, sheep are
much more profitable than cattle.
On a farm of 100 acres or over, it
pays much better to sell sheep as NUT
ton instead of stock for other people
to fatten.
Sheep should be graded according to
size, putting the prime ones in a lot to
be fed by themselves, and if you are
determined to keep the poor ones put
them in a different lot and do the
best you can with them. Better sell
them, though.
If your ewes drop their lambs and
these are in need of attention which
their mother cannot give them, dilute
cows milk with about one-third wa
ter.
There is nothing better for sheep
than clover, except possibly alfalfa.
Some farmers say they do not keep
sheep because they are subject to
disease, which is a great mistake; be-
cause properly cared for sheep have
fewer ailments than any other farm
animal.
No animal on the farm is an dainty
as the sheep when it comes to drink
ing water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch it.
If you have had no experience with
sheep do not buy a ram on your OWL
judgment, but get some man wht
owns sheep to buy it for you. Ant
don't be stingy in the matter of price
The big fairs are great object les
sons which the farmer who tries tt
keep up with the times cannot affort
to miss.
If you intend to go into the sheel
business better go to the state fai
this fall.

With new corn the greatest danger
is in overlooking. Farmers who have
old corn left over who will take the
trouble to mix it with the new, >can
feed the new crop to very good ad-
vantage because the green stuff is
greatly relished by the pigs and it
adds to the palatability of the old
corn.
But it is a mistake to start hogs on
new corn alone and all we'll informed
feeders know that it takes more grain
and longer time to make fat hogs from
new than from old corn.
Another thing: 1t is believed by
many hog raisers that heavy feeding
with new corn produces cholera.
While this is not likely, it is almost
certain to produce disturbance of the
digestive organs and prevent that
steady laying on of fat which is the
aim of all feeders.
We all know that corn is the most
f%attening feed that can be used but
many of us have not yet learned that
constant and heavy feeding of this
grain alone produces serious trouble
and does not make al good pork as
when fed j~udiciously with other kinds
of food.
When a hog is stuffed with corn and
nothing else, he soon becomes over
fattened and his growth stops, simply
because he does not get the proper
material in his food to make bone and
muscle and his fat is piled on a small,
weak frame.
A corn-fat hog is also deficient In
rich blood, lacks stamina and is in a

ORDER HAD HIM I'm THE AIR"
Boatswain's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition ID
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar
thy, U. 8. N, has shown in an article In
THE Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls r varied Tor
different occasions, and even, In the
old navy, at least, 1t extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the xernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the of1cer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the officer Of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate became desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with a push that
sent the youngster Keeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for a bucketful of it! I never
heard of anything to scrub a deck with
but sand and lime, and / don't know
anything about these new 'soogy'

BRIDE PLAYS The

Mrs. Emil Braun Becomes Sus-
picious and Does Some
Detective Work.
MOVES ARE A MYSTERY
r ondness for Night Journeys, Views
of American Forts and His Skill
at Penning Code Letters, Had
Military Significance.

Lakewood, N. Emil Braun, the
mysterious German, recently located
here, has disappeared. His American
bride of a few months, mystified and
baffled by his peculiar habits, played
the detective, and as a result of her
efforts has turned over to the au-
thorities a paper, found among
Braun's possession, setting forth the
fact that one, Helmuth Emil Max
Schmidt, is wanted by German au-
thorities on q charge Of fraudulent
bankruptcy. Incidentally the bride
discovered that the handsome silver
ware, jewelry and linens of the Emil
Braun she had married were all elab-
orately marked with the initials
III. s."
When Emil Braun first appeared in
Lakewood he was accompanied by
three women, his wife, his sister and
his daughter, the latter large and
mature for her years. To the real
estate agent, Braun explained that
he was moving to America because
he was tired of Germany and thought
q small chicken farm in New Jersey
would be much to his liking. Six
months later. n of the women COM
prising the Braun household went
away. To those who inquired Braun
explained that his wife had returned
to Germany. Iii July, 1914, he added
the further information that she had
died in a hospital.
Interested in Military Affairs.
Prior to this announcement, how
ever, Braun appeared to take much
more interest in military affairs than
he did in New Jersey chickens. He
developed an interest in the FORTH.

York and he especially longed to
make a visit to Sandy Hook. His wish
was granted. Braun wanted to go in
side the fort but when the right was
refused, he first persisted, and then
made no effort to conceal his disap
pointment.
Immediately after the European wal
broke out, Braun's interest in chicken
raising suddenly ceased. About this
time the second member of his house
hold went away, leaving only the
daughter. Braun advertised for g
wife and a New York ste~nographel
answered. The two met shortly be

HARNESS OILING IS
JOB FOR RAINY DAY
Little Use in All Kinds of Weather
Works a Great Change
in FIexibility.

Harness oiling is a rainy day job on
the farm and a regular part Of the
stable work in the city.
It's a vitality necessary part, too.
There's no trouble about spelling a
harness-the question with the horse
owners is how not to spoil harness.
A very little use in all kinds of
weathers works a great change in the
f1exibility and "snappiness" of harness
leather. It gets hard, dry, lifeless-
crossed and recrossed with little
checks which eat into the leather and
soon bring it to the breaking point.
Every man who owns or drives a
horse knows that the preventive and
cure is oiling.

SUMMER CARE FOR THE CALF
Unless Young Animals Are Kept Grow
ing During First Year Final
Development Is Retarded.

(By r. NJ. WASHBURN, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The first year of a Calls life is the
most important with respect to it's
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inherit
ance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves are born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk in moderate quantities
following birth. On farms having hand
separators there is no difficulty in
providing the sweet milk for calves,
morning and evening; but farmers
who %patronize whole-milk creameries
or who still skim by hand should re-
member that after the first few weeks
milk for calves should either be thor
oughly sweet or fully sour, that the
most dangerous condition is the half
sour stage. If milk is fed to calves
when it is in this changing condition
it is almost certain to cause indiges-
ton. 1t should not be half sour, nor
sour n day and sweet the next, but
always n or the other.
Clean feeding pals must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
infant cow from the slime of the dirty
drinking dish, and with young calves
1t is important that the temperature
at which the milk is fed be nearly
that of the body. Older animals may
receive milk of the temperature of
the WITHHOLDING tank.
While it is very important that
heifers should have free access to
pasture during the second summer, to
develop strong bodies, the calf need
not have pasture the first summer. In
fact, for calves born after the first
of the year, pasturing may be a dis
advantage. Most young calves in this
country are better off chewing tender
hay in the quiet and half-dark stable
than fighting flies, painting from the
heat, and cropping tough grass in the
pasture.
