Cap the Strawberries, pre-
serving all the Juice that flows from
them. Weigh the fruit and allow
to every pound of It one pound OF
graduated sugar. Put the sugar
and the juice in preserving, ket-
tie and cook slowly until the sugar
Is entirely dissolved; then lay in
utes; turn all into shallow. porce-
lain lined pans or stoneware dishes
and set in the hot sun, covering each
dish with pane of glass. Leave in
the sunshine every day until the
syrup Is thick. Put into preserve
jars and keep in n dark. cool, dry
place.
The second recipe is: Sort the ber-
ries, preserving those of uniform
size and perfect shape and use the
remainder for the juice. Mash thor
ouEhly. and let drip through a flan-
mel bag. Measure the strained Juice.

The Boil Weevil Comes.

Upon Progressive Farmer readers
everywhere in newly: infested boil
weevil territory, we would impress
the fact that there IS no occasion for
alarm and panic. True, the coming
of the weevil to any cotton country,
particularly south of the latitude OF
Birmingham and, Atlanta, is a serious
problem; but no problem. has ever
been successfully met and solved by
fright and decentralization. The only
proper and sensible course is first to
learn what is: necessary in the. fight.
against the weevil, and then thor
oughly apply what has been found
most effective. In aiming at the best
plans of effective action, the follow
ing suggestions. based on past ex-
perience with the weevil, will, we be-
lieve, be of value to our readers:
/. In all territory infested this
fall for the first time, weevil damage
next year will not be heavy-rarely
if ever more than 25 per cent. This
comparatively light damage the Sec
ond year is due to the fact that
weevils the fall before are not suf-
ficiently numerous to thoroughly in
fest all fields, and consequently the
number living through the winter is
not large.
2. Panic and fright may do more
damage than the boil weevil itself.
This is a point we would impress es-
pecially upon business men in newly
invaded territory We have, in
few instances, known of what vir-
tuallv amounted to disaster to come
with the boil weevil, but where this
has been the case it has largely been
due to fright: bankers, supply mer-
chants, landlords, refused to continue
to extend credit where credit had
been the rule, and in other ways
plainly showed by their action that
they believed that agrlculturally tne
Jig was up" Quite true, our credit
system is by no means ideal; but to
eliminate it or to substitute a better
is something that cannot be done
over night. 1t is important to under
stand the seriousness of the situa-
tion. but don't get stampeded.
8. A live at home policy is the
first step in beating the boil weevil
We believe the majority of our read
ers will continue to grow some cot
ton despite the weevil, but they can
never do this on "store-bOught' sup
plies. The policy of living at home
and soil building is sound the world
over, but the coming of the boil
weevil serves to accentuate its tre-
mendous mportance.-The Progress

NOVEL USE FOR GUNPOWDER.
Taken Internally, Makes Cuts and
Bruises Easier to Heal.

A reference was made short time
ago to the use of gunpowder as
medicine, and now the Rev. Fuller
Mills, retired Baptist minister, of
Carmarthen, Wales, testifies to its ef-
ficiency. early in the sixties of the
last century, Mr.. Mills writes, Il
was boy behind the counter of what
was known as the company's shop at
Abertillery. Amongst the collier GUS
toners who came to the shop was
tall, we'll developed man known as
Dick Stevens, or Stephens.
"He was a member of the prize
ring or the pugilistic fraternity,
which was very popular in those days.
Dick Stevens was matched to fight
Ianto Cattcham and was preparing
for the fight when he came to the
shop for his weekly requirements.
He generally asked for an ounce or
two of gunpowder. I wondered at
this, and my curiosity was aroused.

reply was: 81 mix it with my gravy

BOMBS IN INFANCY.
Soldiers Know Little About Handling
These Deadly Missiles.

"A bomb is like Woman-you
can never tell what it is going to do
next" writes an Irish officer from
the British front in Flanders. He
has been engaged for several weeks
in experimenting with bombs and va
rious new-fangled bomb-throwing de-
vices.
THE more one has to do with
bombs, the more afraid one becomes
of them," he continues, "for one cam
not play with explosives all day with
out going aloft some time, and the
toll of good men who have been
blown to pieces by their own bombs
is both long and sad.
Bomb throwing as an art is still
in it's infancy, changing almost from
day to day, and what state of de-
velopment or perfection it will have
reached before the end of the war
cannot be guessed. At the best it is
juries are even of the ghastliest.
"Yet bombing, like most other as
poets of the war, has it's humorous
side, and I have seen whole trench
helpless with laughter at the sight of
two men running opposite ways to
avoid a sausage bomb they had spot
ted sailing over from German
trench mortar. They collided, and
sat down facing each other like vau-
deville comedians. The bomb drop
ped in the middle, almost touching
them both and then completely failed
to explode.
lone. morning twenty or more
members of the general staff came
around to our trench to witness
test of new catapult arrangement
for throwing bombs to the consider
able distance of 25 yards. With
great interest they watched the
screwing down of the great arm, and
the placing and securing OF the
bombs in position. Then upwards
and forwards swung the arm, but the
missile, instead of hurting in the di-
rection of the enemy, rose gently
few feet in the air, not having been
properly secured, and then prepared
to descend again to earth. Such a
rapid and complete self-effacement OF
staff officers had never before been
seen; they fled like rabbits, and as
they rounded the corner of the
trench, the bomb went off few feet
from the ground, completely Destroy
