Advantages of Lsspsds.a.


Lespedeza perpetuates itself On the
crop is harvested quite early, q second
growth makes crop Of seed. If bar
vested late seed are matured before
harvest and scattered on the land in
harvesting.
No hay crop allows such a wide Pc
Rod of time In which harvesting may
be done. The harvest season may ex-
tend from late August to late October,
including hay and seed crop. In fact,
new lespedeza begins to come into local
markets in late July. Such early cut
ting, however, will not yield large
crop, although the quality is excellent,
as there are no leaf1ess stems. While,
under favorable seasons. a second cut
ting may be secured, it win be short,
either for seed or for hay, and should
continued dry weather follow such ear
ly cutting, the stand may be seriously
damaged. 1t is not improbable that
with a better understanding of the
plant two cuttings will be made per
season. when the most favorable condi-
lions Of growth prevail.
Lespedeza cures very quickly, since
the stems are very small and contain a
low per cent of water. Probably no
other hay plant is SO easily and quickly
cured.

The hay Is rich in protein, and IL
relished by all live stock. and there Ii
no waste In feeding it, as all the stems
are consumed

THE cALosoMA BEETLE.

Foe to the Gypsy Moth and Imported
to Combat II.
The calosoma beetle, which was in
troduced int New England in order to
combat the gypsy moth, Is declared by
entomologists in the United States de-
partment of agriculture to have firmly
established itself in its new environ
ment.
The first of these green beetles was
sent from Europe in 1905. Between
then and 1910 little over 1000 of the
insects were shipped to this country.
They have multiplied and spread with
extraordinary rapidity and are now so
abundant that many people in New
England are familiar with their ap-
pearance and habits.
Investigations show that these in
sects, both as beetles and as larvae,
consume enormous quantities Of the
gypsy moth larvae. They are able TO
climb the trees upon which their prey
are feeding and are most active during
the periods when the gypsy moths are
abundant. The calosoma beetle. in
fact, seems to be admirably adapted
in every way to destroying the gypsy
moth. 1t is not apparently injured by
the wilt disease which is so prevalent
in its prey, and neither is 1t apparently
affected by the sprays used to control
the gypsy moth. At the present time 1t
is regarded as the most important Of
the natural enemies of this widespread
pest.

A Few Briehets.

The time the old fashioned girl used
to spend in putting up fruits in fall seems
to be spent by the modern maiden in
putting down ice cream soda.
The apple grower is supposed TO grade
his fruit Systematically and honestly.
but to some old timers it must seem an
awful waste to put any good specimens
at the bottom of the barrel.
The man who goes to his tailor's 10
order pair of the new skin tight trous-
ers is probably the same one who few
months ago was ridiculing women for
wearing hobble skirts. And a woman
always looks better in tights than II
man, too.
Over in Europe they suppress news
papers that give away information valu-
able TO the enemy. In the United
States a LOT of newspapers would sup
press the officials that refused to give
out such Information
No language can express the power
and beauty and heroism and majesty of
a mothers love. 1t shrinks not where
man covers and grows stronger where
man faints and over wastes of worldly
fortune sends the radiance of its quench
less fidelity like a mask.
Some one asks what has become of the
man who used to live contentedly at 81
a-week boarding house? Well just now
he is down at the office of his s. per day
hotel, kicking because the food is not as
good as he is used to having.
Parents should teach their children
that labor is noble and holy, and dis
courage that foppish dudeism that has
taken such hold upon the goldfish ar
istocracy of our country. They are too
nice to work, too proud to beg, and, per-
haps, too honest 10 steal. They are
much like a land turtle, they carry all
they have on their backs, and are as
happy as peacock when their feathers
are in good trim.
Now, young sir, get rid Of the nonsense
that you are genius, settle down TO the
conclusion that you are just an average
boy and then start in. Keep yourself
alert, look after your digestive apparatus,
don't smoke cigarettes, get to bed early,
be square toed in all your dealings, and
we will wager a cookie that at sixty you
will have to look backward for those
who began the race where you did.

Turkey Crop Short

According TO statement made by
Commissioner OF Agriculture Newman,
the turkey crop is below the average in
Kentucky. In his August report he
says the crop will not be above so per
cent and that chicken instead of turkey
will have to suffice on Thanksgiving.
The turkey crop is always below the
average-that is, the crop is always
short to the average fellow. Chickenl
Well, when it comes TO chicken, the av-
erage fellow is short on that. too When
it comes to substituting chicken for tur
key, the average fellow will substitute
both turkey and chicken with pork and
beans. and At the high price which pork
is selling, the average person will do
well to get the beans, even without the
pork, so.averages don't cut much figure
with the average fellow after all.

prominent local minister told US
the following story, which seems to us
one of the richest we have heard in a
long time.
During the days when toll-gates were
across every cross road in Kentucky,
the said minister was driving along a
road in Fayette county. He came to
toll gate and an old Irish woman came
out to collect the toll and let him pass.
when the following conversation took
place.
The Preacher-"Good morning"
The Irish Lady-''Good marnin; sor. y

1t is an old story to most po-
tato growers that the tuber can
not be at its best development
and of highest quality unless the
vine can mature. The tuber Is
a part of the vIne-an enlarged
underground stem. II the vine
should die prematurely the tuber
is OF necessity unripe or green
and cannot finish its growth.
Thus potatoes which grow on
plants that are destroyed or In
jured by blight are not unlike
green apples in quality. They
cannot be .'mealy" or of highest
quality because they never I'm
ished growing. This makes clear
one necessity for spraying late
potatoes which many farmers
do not consider. We must keep
the vines growing as late as pos
sible in order to have matured
or high quality potatoes. The
earlier varieties are usually eat
en- early, but the late varieties
make up the winter supply,
when good quality ID most de-
sired. Thus we see the need of
full spraying with Bordeaux
mixture in order to hold or the
blight and give the plant a bet
ter chance to mature.-Rural

Comfort In Poverty

A VISITING nurse found this old
"A lady dying of tuberculosis in ex-
-tremely poor surroundings. There
was no one to care for her except her
old crippled husband, and there was
not sufficient money to provide good
food or clean clothing, nor did he
know how to make his wife comforta-
BILE. Charitable people were interest
ed In the case, so that fresh bedding
and food were provided. Frequent
visits from the nurse have helped in
making this old consumptive woman
as comfortable as possible In her last
days. Without the care of the nurse
she might have been a menace to her
neighbors.

Freedom Or Death.

Emanuel Beazley, colored, charged
with the wilful murder of Hortense
Chenault. also colored, was given life
sentence in the pen by jury in the Cir
cult Court yesterday afternoon. Beazley
pleaded with his attorney Jay w. Har.
Ian to appeal to the jury to give him
either his liberty or the death penalty,
as he preferred electrocution to a peni-
Tertiary sentence. Four of the jurymen
are said to have been for sending Beaz-
ley TO the electric chair. AS he was be-
ing taken to jail. Beazley complained
vigorously against being sent to the PEN
itentiary and asked if there was any way
whereby the verdict could be changed
to death sentences. -Danville Advocate.
