ages OF this insect, because this pest
has been widely disseminated. there
being no section entirely free from

The only effective remedy that IL
recommended is to dig them out. This
work should be done in early winter
or some time before growth begins in
spring. Secure competent labor, ex.
ercising care not to injure tba bark
any more than necessary. Remove
the soil from around the trunk and
with a sharp knife or rasp, scrape OF
the gummy emulation and cut out all
injured tissue, destroying the larvae
as they are found.
Trees that are badly infected should
be gone over several times, once in
early winter and again in spring. At
ter the spring "worming." mound the
earth about the trunks. This is much
cheaper and is to be recommended In
preference to the wrapping of the
trees with paper or painting with some

The hackney is one of the best pay
ing horses that the southern farmer
can raise and he is increasing In popu-
larity each year.
The numerous horse shows now
held in the South have given a great
impetus to horse breeding.
There are many things to be said
in favor of the hackney and there are
good reasons for his popularity as a
harness horse; among them are his
very stylish appearance. high action,
good size and tractability. Beside, he
is a good seller on the market.
The southern farmer is a natural
born lover of a good horse and the
South has been the home of the thor
oughbred for probably two centuries.
1t may be said of the hackney that
he crosses well with other breeds, es-
pecially with the trotter, the thorough
bred or the draft horse. The hackney
trotter cross is one Of the most useful
horses than can be raised on the aver
age farm, inheriting as they do from

SOY BEANS GAINING IN FAVOR
Choice Of Variety Should Be Governed
by Purpose Of crop-Black Beauty
Makes Good Hay.
CBy J. c. HACKLEMAN, Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station)

(By J. c. HACKLEMAN, Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Soy beans are rapidly gaining In
favor among the farmers of Mis-
souri,, and in many parts of the state
are replacing cowpeas as seed crop
The fact that they can be seeded
earlier, are easier harvested, easier
threshed and usually outyield the cow
peas explains, in part this gain In
favor. Several varieties are to be
recommended, but the choice OF q
variety should be governed by the pur-
pose Of the crop. When grown for
hay, such varieties as ebony or black
beauty, medium yellow or mongol,
picking or sable and Austin, will be
found among the best. Where seed Is
wanted, this list may be enlarged to
include Mikado and Halberlandt. II
q late maturing, rather coarse-growing
crop Is wanted for pasture and green
manuring purposes, the mammoth yell
low and Hollybrook are good.

the sire the substances that enable
them to do the heaviest kind Of farm
work as well as making capital fam
lily horse. The rotundity OF form that
at once stamps them as easy to keep,
their pleasing conformation, along
with good, clean legs and sound feet
catch the buyers eye.
The cross of the hackney on the
thoroughbred has resulted in q good
park hack with bone, substance and
style.
The cross of hackney stallion on
draft mares should give a heavy har-
ness or coach horse, being careful to
breed to clean limbed, well-shaped
mares of solid color also possessing
some degree Of action.
There are sections all over the
South where natural conditions are
such that the breeding of high-class
harness horses is a most profitable
pursuit to the wide-awake, energetic
farmer who Is not afraid to invest his
money in fine bred stock for breed
ing purposes.

Dangerous Revenge.

VERY little talk is heard among he

peace in Berlin" said Representative
Bartholdt at German,American ban
quet in Chicago.
"The allies realize that to get to
Berlin would be az dangerous a game
as Daft Hanks revenge.
Daft Hank once helped himself to
a wheelbarrow Load of fertilizer be-
longing to Farmer Husk The farmer,
therefore. had him locked up for ten
days. Daft Hank, when he got out,
said to the general storekeeper:
well, i've found out a way to get
even with old Corn Husk for lockin'

better than the old-fashioned sort, and
the breeds of poultry have improved
to such an extent that better houses
are recognized as being necessary.
This poultry house. although not
very large, is built with a good solid
concrete foundation that reaches down
below frost. The floor also is Of con-
crete.
Some poultrymen prefer building a
floor OF lime. Ordinary burned lime
is spread over the ground several
inches deep and pounded down and
made level. Water is then thrown
on the lime in just sufficient quanti-
ties to cause 1t to slack properly.
Enough water is used to slack the lime
into pasty mortar and It is left in
this condition until 1t dries and hard
ems. This kind of q poultry floor Is
not so hard as concrete, and the chick
ems will scratch depressions in 1t in
places In their efforts to uncover the
grain that is scattered in the litter.
The chickens in digging up the kerr
nels OF grain get considerable lime,
which goes to manufacture bone and
egg shells. II the original lime is
good and the stacking is well done,
the floor will be satisfactory for
long time. If soft places develop and
the hens dig the floor through, 1t is
easy at any time to throw little fresh
lime on to the cavity and moisten it
with water enough to slack and fill
the depression.
There are poultrymen who insist
that this is the only method known
to the poultry fraternity for making
q faultless hen house floor. The same
kind Of lime floor may be made into
both of these rooms. or only one Of
them, as thought best. Lime floors
win discourage rats and mice almost
as thoroughly as a concrete floor, and
they are not so rough on the chickens
claws.
Any kind Of hard floor should be
kept covered with straw, for the rea-

RELICS OF DEPARTED AGE
Napkin Rings Condemned as Being
Things Of Which the World Has
Long Been Tired.

It is understood that the National
American Woman Suffrage association
takes just pride in the opportunity 1t
has afforded to its members to dispose
of their superfuous napkin rings,
which is to say all the napkin rings
they possess. The whole melting-pot
plan fires the imagination.
But for the napkin rings. They are
relics of a departed age, reminders Of
the era of the Saturday night bath, the
old folks concert and the painted
panoramas of the Nile. They abide
now In out-of-the.way corners, tar.
nished and forgotten, bands Of old sill
yer, often affectionately inscribed at
the command of givers long since
turned to dust. They are the sort Of
reminders Of gentler but less fastidi.

son that chickens cannot stand com
fortably with their toes out straight
They want something to close their
feet around. The construction of a
chickens foot is intended by nature to
close the toes when the chicken sits
down. This is for the purpose of
grasping the limb of tree or poul.
try roost to hold the fowl steady while
1t is sleeping. Hens will roost in
trees on windy nights without falling
off, because of the peculiar construc-
ton of their feet and legs.
In building the walls of this poul-
try house the stills are laid in fresh
cement plastered on top of the con-
crete foundation walls. Bolts are
embedded in the concrete. which pass
through auger holes in the stills, and
