LIQUOR MEMS ARGUMENT.

Replying to the paid orators of the
saloon who declare that If it was not
intended that men should drink al
coholic liquor God would not have
created the rye, the corn, ETC., from
which 1t is manufactured, the Ameri-
can Issue says: "They might declare
that If God had not intended men to
drink booze, he would not have Gre
ated the wood that builds the saloon,
the brass in the fixtures, the quartz
melted into the goblet or the iron
which, molten, makes the stove. They
might carry the argument farther and
say that If God had not intended men
to drink alcoho, that he would not
have created the mouth with which
to imbibe. Until 1t can be shown that
God created mans tongue so that
he could lie and hands that he might
steal, there is not very much in the
argument that the Creator made corn
and rye that men might make alco-
hol therefrom for the purpose of pois-
oning themselves and their fellowmep
for profit"

ERADICATE THE WHITE GRUBS
Growers OF Strawberries Should Be
Careful In Selecting Land-Rest
to Avoid Sod Lands.

Strawberry growers who are trou-
bled with white grubworms should be
careful in selecting the land upou
which the plants are to be set. SOD
land, according to J. R. Watson. en-
tomologist to the University OF FlorL
da experiment station. is apt to be In
tested with the worms. He advises
that the land be given to some crop
not injured by the grubs for two or
three years after the sod is turned
under. If the grower cannot wait
that long, he might pasture pigs on
the land six months before planting.
Pigs root the grubs out and eat them.
If stable or barnyard manure Is used
as fertilizer, 1t might be well to mix
with It from 200 to 400 pounds OF cya-
nide to the acre. It is possible that
cyanide cannot be obtained. About
100 pounds of sulphur or enough to
slightly color the manure might be
added. The sulphur can be applied
between the rows.
Neither of these substances will kill
the grubs. but they act as repelIents
and will probably drive the grubs
away. The best method, however, is
to avoid sod lands.

Up-to-date fruit growers spray their

With the advent of the ready-pre-
pared lime-sulphur solutions which
are safely used at diluted strengths
on apples after the blooming period,
there has been tendency to use
these ready-made lime-suIphur washes
at diluted strength on peaches after
the blooming period also, and many
fruit growers fnve been asking the d.
vision of entomology of the state de-
partment of agriculture whether this
can be safely done. Accordingly Mr..
Sherman and Mr.. Clapp have been
making experiments with this material
during the past two seasons in the
peach orchard at the Statesville test
farm. The results so far show that

Mr.. Barleycorn was asking Just lit
tie too much for liquor. In addition
to the price that he and l agreed

when diluted even at the rate of one
gallon Of the ready-made solution to
fifty gallons of water, there is apt to
be serious injury to the trees il the
treatment be given continuously.
though they have used 1t successfully
on single occasions when not conven.
lent to prepare the standard self-boiled

the diluted ready-made solution has
been used for two seasons now show a
serious lack of growth, even though
they made good yields Of fine fruit
both years, and the treatment was sue
cessful against both insects and rot.
They conclude that the self-boiled lime
sulphur solution should still be relied
upon for spring and summer spraying

EXPERIMENTS WITH WHITE RATS

Philadelphians were perturbed re-
Gently over the publication of the re-
suits Of series of experiments with
white rats which are being made by
Helen Dean King at the Wistar In
stitute of Anatomy and Biology of
the University of Pennsylvania.
Shorn of it's sensationalism and
half truths, the story of the expert

FEEDING THE WORKING MULE
Unlike the Horse, He viii Not Bolt
His Food-He Knows When He
Has Had Enough.

When the farm mule is working
hard. feed him all the grain and hay
he will eat He will not eat too much.
Unlike the horse. he will not bolt HIS
grain and leave his hay, but eats a
little of one and then little of the
other. When he has had enough he
knows enough to stop.
During the winter give him all the
corn fodder he can eat. A little hay
may be added IL desired, but this IL
not necessary, Many mule owners
winter their animals entirely on corn
fodder.
What is not cleaned up in the racks
is used for bedding. When mules are
not working they will eat about 8
per cent of their weight day of
corn fodder.-Farm and Home.

Head Of German Naval staff.

Admiral Won Holtzendorff, recently
announced as the new head of the
German naval staff, is former COM
mander OF the German high seas feet
and one of the big men of the navy.
Emperor William gave him command
of the high seas feet at the outset of
the dreadnaught era, when the advent
of the all-big gun type of battleship
made Germany dangerous rival of
Great Britain, and he retained that
command until just before the war
began, when he was succeeded by Ad-
miral Won Ingenhohl, who gave way in
turn last spring to Admiral Won Pohl.
