CONTROLLING CABBAGE WORMS

Caterpillars of certain butterflies
and moths trouble cabbage growers
considerably. The remedy is the ap-
plication of some compound of ar
senic. One can use paris green, but
either lead arsenate or zinc arsenate
is preferable. One pound of paris
green or one and half pounds of
lead arsenate or zinc arsenite powder
rs put into so gallons of water. This
liquid usually does not stick well to
cabbage plants, but soap added after
the mixture is made, at the rate Of
from to 10 pounds for so gallons
of water, according to the hardness
of the water, will avoid this difficulty.
Caustic whale-oil or fish oil soap or
any alkaline laundry soap will do.
Flour paste is also a good spreader.
This paste is made by boiling 2 pounds
of flour in 2 gallons of water. Add
this amount to so gallons of the ar
senical spray.
Dry arsenical poisons may be used
and are applied when the cabbages
are wet with dew or rain. 1t is we'll
to use filler of cheap flour or air
s1aked lime. Mix about equal parts of
the filler and the dry poison.
Of the three compounds, zinc arse
mite is the least poisonous to man or
stock, but lead arsenate sticks best.
Paris green, although cheapest, is the
least satisfactory of all. Its arsenic
content is variable and it may burn
tender plants.
Some people have a prejudice
against the use of arsenic compounds
on cabbage on account of the supposed
danger to the consumer. 1t has been
estimated by prominent entomoIo-
gist that to be poisoned by the arsenic
on cabbages it would be necessary for
a man to eat at least a dozen heads
of cabbage at one sitting. Neverthe-
less, if one fears an effect upon the
market price of the cabbage from the
presence of this material, it should
not be applied within two weeks be-
fore the crop is to be marketed. Ordi-
narily a rain will wash off so much
of the material that it will not be no
ticed. The amount adhering to the
cabbage is so minute as not to affect
the health of the consumer in any
way. In fact, some Alpine climbers
regularly use a larger dosage of ar
senic than the consumer would get
with his cabbage, even if it were cook
ed without being washed. If the cab
bages are to be marketed within a
week or two it would be best to use
zinc arsenite.

Couldn't Shoot Straight.

Little Ned had been a bad boy,
swearing in the presence of the preach
er. His mother had corrected him, tell
ing him that the lightning would strike
him If he was profane. Young Amer
lea looked solemn, then his face bright
ened as he replied: II say, mamma, l
guess he meant that bolt for me which
struck the church next door, but the

Very STARTLING,

The young Sunday school teacher
felt she had gained the attention and
interest of all her pupils, even the lit
tie boy who usually sat looking around
the room of the primary department.
With his chin in his hand he seemed
totally absorbed in her subject. Be-
meath his strong gaze she waXed elo-
quent. She stopped for breath and it
was then he said, do you know you
have eyes exactly like our cat?'

HIndrances to Usefulness.

The great hindrances to usefulness
in those who think they wish to be use
full, yet have never really tried to be,
are pusillanimousness and ambition.
They are twin sisters. To put it 9TH
erwise, there is the fault of not think
ing it worth while to do a little be-
cause it is little, and of not caring to
do something because it may not lead
to much.-Bishop Thorold.

gestion | venture make is this: If
Hearn was too poetical, if Hearn was
sometimes wrong in his differences,
does it matter SO much as Is sup
posed? Does ii matter so much so
long as his mental attitude was right =?
What did Hearn bring to the study
Of Japan? We know what he did not
bring. He did not bring the mental
attitude of the mere fact collector.
He did not bring the mental attitude
of the superior person. What Hearn
brought was the humble, the studious,
the imaginative, the sympathetic atti-
tude. 1t is only by a man Of this rare
type that one country can be inter-
prcted to other countries. IT is be-
cause Lafcadio Hearn was of that

his memory today. and | feel prlvi-
