INSECT PESTS PASS
WINTER IN RUBBISH
Certain Methods of Control Can
Be Practiced Which viii
Greatly Lessen Trouble.

During the winter very few persons
give a thought to the various insect
pests which threaten their crops in
the summer, and yet at this time GER
tain methods of control can be prac-
ticed which will greatly lessen the
trouble the following year.
The strawberry-leaf roller curls up
the edges of leaf and its winter home
is complete. If numerous, it will pay
to NOW the beds after the crop is off
and rake and burn.
The red-necked cane borer of rasp-
berries and blackberries, whose work
results in a gall or swelling, passes
the winter as larya. Infested canes
should be cut off below the swellings
and burned.
In grass lands below the frost line
are the larvae of rose chafers or rose
bugs. These come up lear the sur
face in the spring and transform to
pupae.
Plum curculios, which, by the way.
are hard to find during cold weather
select grass, leaves and trash in or
near the orchard. Pear psyllas select
crevices in the bark, and the pear
leaf blister mite goes under the bud
scales.

SORE SHOULDER IS
EASILY PREVENTED
Collar Fitting Horses Neck Snug
ly and With Hames Properly
Adjusted Are Urged.

A good collar, fitting the horses
neck, and names adjusted to fit the
collar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders, says DIR. M. H. Reynolds,
veterinarian at the Minnesota College
of Agriculture. Sore shoulders can be
prevented easily by little care at the
right time.
collars must be kept clean to avoid
sores. Many cases of sore neck are
caused also by loose names saving
back and forth until the top of the
shoulder is raw.
"Some horses have abnormally
shaped shoulders. In this case, the
agricultural college veterinarian sug-
gests DR.. j. G. Curryer's plan of soak
ing the collar day or two in water
just before it is used on the horse.
While soft from soaking, the collar
will adjust itself to the horses Shout
ders.
Prevention" he says, sis easier
than cure" but there are several sim
pie remedies recommended. "White
lead ground in oil is good Stove
backing is useful remedy. 1t forms
a smooth surface over the sore, thus
preventing chatting, and has mildly as
tringent properties"

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY Y. NJ. PIERCE, NJ. D.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations Of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during d.
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets of Anuric three or four
times day.
Anuric acts-much more quickly
than lithia. You will find 1t dissolyes
uric acid as water does sugar.

SUPERIOR TYPE OF BEEF STEER.

A few simple rules observed before
and after birth will eliminate danger
either to the cow or her offspring, ac-
ccrding to DIR. h. S. Schoenleber, pro-
fessor of veterinary medicine in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
"The feeding of some concentrates
cottonseed meal, linseed meal, or bran
"a few weeks before the COW Is due to
freshen is helpful both to the mother
and her offspring. Dry feeding prob
ably has clogged the eliminative or
gans-the bowels, the skin, and the
Kidneys. To great extent these con-
centrated feeds will correct this con-
dition. Cottonseed meal should not
be given to those cows that are excep-
tionally heavy mixers because it in
creases the flow of milk and might
cause milk fever. 1t is a good plan to
give to heavy mixers a medium to

winds have the effect of driving the
blood of the animal from the surface
to the internal organs, which frequent.
ly results in diseases of various kinds.
The COW should be isolated a few
days before the calf is expected. This
will prevent any possible injury or
worry either to her or to her offspring.
She should also be kept out of reach
of hogs. At this period cows become
cross and they should be handled
carefully In order to prevent danger
to strangers or owners.
If COW does not clean properly
within 10 to u hours, artificial means
should be taken Immediately because
the prolongation of this condition is
likely to injure the delicate organs
and impair her as q breeding animal.
IL the membrane does not come with
the calf or soon afterwards, the COW
should be given at least one pound Of
EPSON salts dissolved in lukewarm
water. This is for a COW weighing 900
pounds. The dose must be increased
according to the weight of the COW
above 900 pounds.
Immediately after parturition a cow
does not need heavy feeding. At this
period she is feverish and her appetite
is poor. She will, however, eat food
when put before her despite the fact
that her digestive system has no use
for it. This feeding will help to ere
ate more fever. Plenty Of cool water
should be given her, and after 10 tc
IS hours feeding is in order. Feed
should be gradually increased as the
COW gains in strength.
Calves should be protected from the
weather and insanitary surroundings.
The COW should be MIXED four to ten
hours after calving. This will allow
the calf plenty of the first milk. Sub
sequently the COW should be MIXED
regularly. When her feverish condi-
ton has left her after the third day,
the milk is fit for human consumption.
Grass is the natural food for the
COW. She does better on it than on
any other feed. Whenever grass Is
not available ensilage should supple
ment 1t. A COW will respond readily,
both in milk and il health, when she
is fed on variety of feeds.

small dose of epson salts-S to IL
ounces dissolved in water--two to
three days apart just before the COW
is expected to freshen. This will help
keep down the congestion"
During the CESSATION period a cow
is feeding herself and another individ-
ual. She therefore needs a large
amount of the best available food and
water. Moldy feed, contaminated wa
ter, and insanitary surroundings tend
toward a weak calf and COW. Often
this is the starting point of contagious
abortion.

Oregon Agricultural college has found
pepsin to be a substitute for rennet.
Cheese made last May with pepsin has
thus far been so successful that judges
have not been able to distinguish it
from the rennet curd.
Pepsin is ferment made from the
lining of the fresh stomach of q pig,
sheep, or calf. 1t is dried, and put
up for use either as a white powder
or in the form of yellowish scales.
The scale pepsin is the kind used in
cheesemaking. Four ounces Of a five
per cent solution of pepsin in water
are used for each 1000 pounds Of
milk. The water must not be over 105
degrees Fahrenheit, anG the solution
must be made up few hours before it
is used.
While pepsin is not represented as
serious rival to rennet for cheese
making, it may take the place Of it
should necessity demand a substitute.

POISON PLOT
Had the number of guests at the
Archbishop Mundelein dinner, Thurs
day night, not been suddenly increas-
ed from 200 to 296, all who attended
might now be dead, according to the
chemist.
Investigation of score of samples
of the poisoned soup served at the
banquet have indicated shown that
the soup would have been 2 grains
per bowl strong in arsenic had it not
been diluted for SO extra guests. AS
it was it was only one and two-tenths
grains strong. 1t takes two grains of
arsenic to kill.
The police say they will have Jean
Crones, suspected poisoner, before
the day is over.
The police believe he worked out
his plot scientifically, using all of his
knowledge of chemistry. They have
conf1scated the poisons, nitroglycer-.
inc, and anarchistic and anti-Catholic
literature found in his room.
Hinton c.. Clabaugh, division chief
of the federal bureau of investiga-
ton, thinks the poisoning may have
been part of a nationwide plot. He
does not think it reasonable to be-
lieve that Crones could have operated
alone.
John Allegrini, 24O8 Calumet av.,
chum of Crones, is held by the police.
Letters which Jean Crones, arch
bishops dinner poison suspect, left
behind show he was pal of Gaetano
