POISON CUTW0RMS
IN GARDEN PATCH
Kansas Mixture Scattered
Around Infested Areas Will
Prove Quite Effective.

CBy A. G. RUGGLES. Minnesota Expert

The cutworm will get your garden
truck if you don't watch out. If you
haven't fall-plowed, you may success
fully fight the pests by the use of poi
son.
A slightly different formula from the
old-fashioned poisoned bran mash was
found very effective against grasshop-
pers i'm Kansas in 1912. In 1914, this
mixture was very successfully used
against crickets, army worms and cut
worms.
The formula for the Kansas mixture
Is as follows: Bran, pound; paris
green, l ounce; strip, u pint; orange
or lemon, II ounce: water, LIZ pints-
Mix the bran and paris green sep
arately while dry. Squeeze the juice
Of the orange or lemon into the water,

LITTLE ESSENTIALS
FOR THE DAIRYMAN
Many Cows Being Deceived by
Man-CardinaI Factors in
Dairy Cleanliness.

Lucky is the man who leads In

The important part of milking is to
get it all.
The man and the cow are the twins
CT the dairy business.
There are as many cows being de-
ceived by men as there are men being
deceived by cows.
There is some affinity between a
good dairyman and good COW.
By cooperation with the dairy cows
men can achieve wonderful results on
the farm.
More fresh air and less 'hot air" are
needed in the dairy business.
Every shiver of the cow shakes dol
lars out of her owners pockets.
There is good money in raising good
cows to sell.
Put every acre of land to work. Idle
acres like dry cows, eat up the profits.
Common sense, favored with love
for the COW, will insure success in the
dairy business.
Sunlight, fresh air and hot water
are cardinal factors in cleanliness.
Close cropping of pastures is very
improbable.
A good dairy cow must be intelli-
gent, courageous and gentle
Great lung capacity is essential to
high production.
A box stall should be part of the
furniture of every well-regulated cow
stable.
Every dollar, every effort, spent in

The easiest way to prevent disease
Is to remove the cause
For the lands sake, and the i'm
provement of the ration, grow plenty
of clover and alfalfa.

PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET
Poor Economy to Use SoiIed Packages
CLEANLINESS Should Be Carefully
Observed at All Times.

Use clean packages. 1t is poor econ
omy to stick to the soiled ones Whlcn
destroy the attractiveness of the fruit.
Never use defective fruit to line the
bottom of the basket. If the fruit is
sanded or overripe, better sell 1t rs
such, even if it is at lower price.
Aim to deliver early in the morning.
The average housewife likes to get the
fruit taken care of before noon. Be-
side, it carries so much better when
cool.
Cleanliness should be observed, not
only about the fruit but in the cloth
ing and person of the deliveryman.
Fruit offered by soiled hands is at once
handicapped.
Careful handling through the entire
process is an essential. The careless
driver who rattles over stones or
through ruts, who jams his crates into
the rig, acquires reputation for de-
Iivering jam.

tightly-sealed bottle, with some pre-
sentative, as a corrosive sublimate
tablet, to keep the sample from sour
ing.
Repeat this with four or six success
sive milkings, adding an amount to
the sample in proportion to the
amount of milk in each milking. After
each addition to this composite sam
pie, whirl the sample bottle around
till all the cream which has stuck to
the sides of the bottle is thoroughly
mixed into the milk again. Keep the
sample in a cool, dry place. Two
ounces of milk is enough for a fat
test in duplicate.

NEGLECT WILL SOON
DEvASTATE ORCHARD
Thorough Cultivation Is Needed,
but 1t Must Stop in Time to
Give Wood a Chance.

When you are pushing the young
orchard for growth it needs thorough
cultivation, but it should stop in July
in order to give the wood chance to
ripen before fall.
Rub off the water sprouts in the
center of the tree and do not allow
them to grow large enough to be
pruned.
Look out for the curculio on the
plum and peach trees. Jar them off
on sheets and be sure to burn every
one.
If you made the mistake of not
pruning your grapevines last winter
let them alone now, as bleeding would
be sure to follow the knife at this
season.
If you can arrange to spray just as
the petals of the buds are well formed
you can save the bees, as a great
many are killed by spraying just as
the buds are blooming.
Your trees may look clean and
healthy, but that is no reason why
they should not receive careful atten-
ton this fall, and next spring as well
Neglect will soon destroy an orchard.

HONEY is LOOKED
UPON AS A LUXURY
Every Farm should Have Compile
ment of From One to Half
Dozen Hives of Bees.

Honey is looked upon too often as
luxury 1t is true that honey, es-
pecially comb honey, is delicacy in
that it takes the place of jam and jel-
y. In Europe, however, honey is a
household article and is used to a
considerable extent to replace sugar
In cookery. The claim is made that
it is a comparatively simple matter
to substitute honey for sugar or mo-
lasses in many recipes and that the
resulting flavor is often novel and
pleasing. Icing made with honey in
stead of sugar will keep soft and fresh
for months, and cakes, especially those
In which butter is not used, have been
kept fresh for several months.
The United States department of
agriculture has made rather extern
sive investigation concerning the use
If honey, and has just published
Farmers Bulletin 653, Honey and It's
Uses in the Home, which may be Sc
cured for the asking. This bulletin
not only contains much general in
formation concerning honey, its
forms, method of making and keep
ing. but also contains many recipes in
which it constitutes an important in
gredient.
Comb honey is practically certain to
be pure because the processes by
which it is adulterated cost more than
they will save. Formerly there was
a very prevalent idea that extracted
honey, that is, honey removed from
the comb, was often adulterated.
However, recent legislation regarding
adulterating food materials has been
such that very little, if any, adulter-
ated honey finds it's way to market.
1t is not necessary, however, for
farmers to depend on buying honey,
because every farm should have it's
complement of from one to half
dozen hives of bees.

Thorough preparation of land in the
