BY CARL VROOMAN,

by NAHE VHOOMAN,
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture.
A description Of some of the COM
monest pests that corn-belt farmers
have to combat is given in a section
of new bulletin Of the United States
department of agriculture, written by
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary, in
order to suggest to the farmer ways Of
turning to financial profit scientific
advice. In addition to describing the
pest the bulletin tells of the most eff
fectiye ways In which the damage that
they cause may be guarded against.
On this subject the bulletin says in

Dry FARMING Requirements.

Farming by the dry method consists
Of getting all the moisture possible in
to the soil and keeping it there to be
taken up by the growing crops. The
strong winds, hot sun, ETC., tend to
take the moisture from the soil very
quickly. Consequently farming on dry
lands requires study and work.

Here is good story from the front
There have been so many cases OF Ger
man spies masouerading in English
uniforms that sentries at night are
required to halt every body OF men
and give the order, Advance one, to
be recognized" which means that one
goes forward alone so that the sentry
can satisfy himself without the risk
of being oyerpowered if several went
forward at once. A certain we'll

by a London Scottish officer held up
by sentry, who refused to allow him
to move and announced that he
"warnt satisfied with the man." The
sentry refused to be convinced and
eventually scout coming along had
to conduct the doubtful one to the OH

writes the London Scot, that he had

The assertion by the police that

SCARED BY "TAME" PANTHER
Priest Has Experience Which re Us
Not at All Anxious to Have

An adventure with panther is re-
lated in the Madras Times by the REV
Father BARLEY, who short while ago
was on q visit 10 an Indian priest al
Patiala in a place near rocky jungle.
The Indian priest was away on Visit
TO sick person and Father BARLEY
went to sleep in the verandah. At
about midnight he was wakened by
feeling something licking his feet with
a great rough tongue. He started UP
in bed and was herrified to see that
huge beast had put its forepaws on
his bed and was glaring into his eyes
Father BARLEY got out OF his bed ana
ran towards the outhouses and called
for help AS there was no response
he went into the open, gripping rug
and holding it between himself and
the beast, which was snarling at him
and began to walk round and round
him in a wide circle. At last Father
BARLEY backed toward the railway
line. He was caught by the ankle by
q wire and fell fiat upon hfa back. The
beast sprang through the air and
alighted a couple of yards away. There
was a red light close By and possibly
it's cleaning eyes gave the beast a
fright, as it turned round with smart
and suddenly ran away and disap-
peared into the darkness OF the night.
The next morning the Indian priest
told Father BARLEY that the panther
was a tame one and belonged 10 q
railway auditor, and that it must have
got loose that night.
