can aviator killed at Vancouver, B. c.,
in 1913, when his airplane collapsed
while he was making an exhibition
flight, and herself an aviator with an
international reputation, is training
airmen here for possible war service.
Several months ago, when the need
of aircraft and airmen became appar-
ent, Mrs. Bryant, who happened to
be in this vicinity giving exhibitions,
Cancelled profitable engagements to
enter the employ of the late Tom Be
moist, veteran St. Louis aviator, who
had opened training school here in
connection with an airplane plant
operated by a company of which he
was the head. Benoist died early in
June, the victim of a street car acci-
dent, but the training school, thanks
to Mrs. Bryant, is going right along.
From half a dozen to dozen aviators
are being turned out every week.

USES TURF INSTEAD or COAL
Switzerland, On Account of the War,
Is Forced to Fall Back on
Peat as Fuel.

According to a report to the depart
ment of commerce from William P.
Kent, consul at Berne, Switzerland,
the exigencies of war, the lack of de-
veloped coal deposits, and the inability
to import coal in quantity sufficient to
meet the needs of the population have
induced the Swiss government, through
a semi-official organization, known as
the Societe Cooperative Suisse de la
Tourbe, whose address is Berne, to re-
sort to the use of turf or peat as
substitute or to supplement the INSULT
cient supply of coal.
The association is in the market for
the purchase of improved machinery
for cutting, raising, drying, and COM
pressing turf. Turf or peat as a fuel
is not satisfactory and complete sub
stitute for coal, on account of its low
caloric properties, particularly for
steam generation, but in those por-
tions Of the United States where it
abounds it may be used to advantage
for domestic consumption by admix-
ture with coal, not only saving the
cost of distant transportation of coal.
but producing sufficient heat at q
much reduced cost.

wheat is not followed by seeding to
other crops, the fields should be plowed
as soon as the wheat is harvested.
Flowing kills the worms by destroying
their food supply and preventing them
from preparing suitable quarters for
the winter.
Some kinds of wireworms live only
in land that is poorly drained and for
this reason tile draining of land is
beneficial, especially where the gen
eral condition Of the field is further
improved by applications of lime and
by thorough cultivation.
Methods of Eradication.
In the Northwest and northern Mid
die West the dry-land wireworm is
sometimes very injurious. The follow
ing methods have been found to be
valuable in the eradication of this
pest: ID Disk or drag-harrow the
summer fallow as soon as possible in
the spring, in order to produce a dust
mulch and thereby conserve the aCcu'
mulated winter moisture (2) continue
the disking as often as is necessary in
order to maintain the mulch and khep
down the weeds; (3) plow the summer
fallow in. July or early in August and
Immediately drag; (4) plow the stub

Although wirewOrms work entirely
underground, and are, therefore, among
the most difficult to control of all the
insect foes of corn and cotton, much
may be done, to lessen their ravages,
by careful tillage, drainage, and proper
rotation of crops. These pests are the
young of the common snapping-beetles
or click-beetles. They are yellowish or
brownish, highly polished and slippery
to the touch, and move actively and
disappear rapidly when brought to the
surface by the plow or spade. The
eggs are laid in the ground, usually
in the sod lands, and there the young
worms are Matched. Three years are
required for most kinds of wireworms
to get their full growth and become
beetles.
Where sod land is to be planted to
corn the following year, the land
should be plowed Immediately after

Land already in corn, which is badly
infested, should be cultivated deeply
even at the risk of Slightly cOot-prun-

as long as the corn can be cultivated,

should be titled thoroughly as soon as
the corn crop is removed.

ed down for hay, any treatment of in

FERTILIZER FOR GARDEN USE
Best Way to Prepare Hen Manure Is
to Crush II and Mix With Equal
Amount of Earth.

The best way to prepare hen ma
nure for use in the garden is to thor
oughly crush it and mix it with an
equal amount of dry earth, after which
it can be applied quite literally around
the plants. About two handfuls well
worked into the soil around each to-
mato plant will make good, liberal
application.
If you wish to put it into the hill
before setting the plant, be sure to
mix it thoroughly with the ssoil, other
wise it will cause injury to the roots.

Whence Khaki Came.

1t appears that khaki has been in
Ise in the British army for more than
forty years. 1t was in use at the time
of the Jowalki expedition in 1877. All
troops, British and native, engaged in
the Afghanistan war of 1S7S-1SS0 wore
khaki. Even the shoes were tan-col-
ored leather, sword belts and saber
scabbards were tan-colored leather,
helmets we're covered with khaki COW
ers and pugrees. Buttons and buckles
were not polished. Khaki is a Hin
dustani word meaning crusty, earthly.

NECESSARY FOR CLEAN MILK
Most of Bacteria Comes From Dirty
Cows, Utensils, Etc.-Particu-
larIy So in Summer.

Most of the bacteria which gets in
to milk come from the dirty COW and
from the utensils, such as cans, pals,
strainers, coolers, and separators,
which have not been properly cleaned.
In winter the cows are likely to be-
come dirty from confinement in the
barn, but in summer they are easily
kept clean so that they are then of lit
tie relative Importance in contaminat-
ing milk. On the other hand, a far
greater number of bacteria get into
milk from dirty utensils in summer
than from a dirty cow in winter.

GIVE SKIM MILK TO POULTRY
Comparatively Safe Feed for All
Kinds of Chickens-Be Careful
With Young Fowls.

Skim milk for all kinds of chickens
is comparatively safe feed. They
can be given all they will drink, yet
it is not best to let it stand in drink
ing vessels where young chickens
have access to it, as they are liable
to get into 1t and make 1t unsanitary.
It should be fed to young chickens
with more care than to old hens.
