IT'S AN EARLY MORNING JOB
Raid on Destructive Garden Pests at
Right Time Much More Effective
Than Poison.

The boy who gets out early in the
morning in his young garden and be-
gins to pick squash bugs, cucumber
beetles, potato bugs, and such slugs
and cut and wire worms as are in
sight, with his thumb and fOrefinger
and drop them in a deep can, will do
more good than poison could do in
three days, says writer in the Amer
lean Boy.
Pour boiling hot water into the tin

they are killed Go the rounds every
morning. Do not wait until after
school, or late in the day, because they
have Toasted and crawled away to
sleep and rest-most of them. Do not
try to pick them at noon because they
hide underground or behind leaves to
get out of the hot sun. But bright
and early in the morning they come
out with the sparkling dew to get
busy and eat the good things you
have planted. Get up an hour earlier
three mornings a week just to do
this. and the result will repay you ten
times over when your garden begins
to supply you with peas and beans and
cucumbers and lettuce and radisheS
and many other delicacies.

Louis Botha as a Fighter.

The BOer army organization would
not be taken as model for any mod
ern military system, but its very weak
nesses made easier the rise to high
command of able subalterns. At least
it gave young officer his chance to
show what was in him. Botha got his
chance under Joubert. 1t was only

net was in command of armies. At

Butler with $4,000 and made such use

GIANT GUN INGoT is CAST
Bethlehem Steel Works Pours $4,000
Pounds of Metal Into One
Great Mold.

At the Bethlehem steel plant the
largest octagonal corrugated ingot
mold ever cast in the United States,
and perhaps in the world, was made
for the first Is and 16-inch guns.
South Bethlehem correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Record writes. The
dimensions of the mold are Is feet and
Z inches in height, with a mean diam
eter of 91h inches. At the thinnest
section the thickness of the metal is
Is inches, while the heaviest section
is 20% inches.
Owing to the necessity of pouring
this casting very quickly, 1t was cast
in the steel foundry instead of the
iron foundry 1t took just four weeks
to make the casting.
Standard Bessemer steel iron melt
ed in three large Open-hearth furnaces
was suspended in ladies' over the mold
at one time. A continuous runner from
these ladies was made, so that the iron
was thoroughly mixed before entering
the mold. Three hundred and forty
thousand pounds of metal was charg-
ed in these furnaces and after the
mold had been filled, 10000 more
pounds of iron was brought from the
iron foundry, three quarters of a mile
away, to pour into the sinkhead to
feed up the shrinkage. This added
metal was filed in at the rate of
about a ton a time for three hours,
when the shrinkage stopped, the metal,
however, being liquid five hours after
the mold was poured.
Before this mold can be used large
steel bands u inches wide and 8
inches thick must be shrunk around
each end of the casting. This large
ingot mold will be left covered in
sand for some time, after which the
100-ton cranes will be necessary to
pick it up and take it to the open
hearth department.

1t Wasn't News to Them.

A young man recently called on the
Rev. H. A. Kirk Of Muncie, and, after
introducing himself, shyly remarked
that he was going to be married.
Would the minister perform the cere-
mOny on certain evening of the next
week? The minister would.
Just before leaving the visitor as
sumed an embarrassed look, explain
ing that he had ridden into the city
on a bicycle from the country, that he
had broken the sprocket chain. and
that he had neglected to put any
money in his pocket when he left
home. Would the minister lend him
30 cents to have it repaired so that he
could ride home? Certainly, the min
lister would.
The evening of the expected mar
riage arrived, but 10 bridegroom and
bride. Neither did they come the
next evening nor any other evening.
The Rev. Mr.. Kirk concluded he had
been swindled. He told the story at
a meeting of Muncie ministers. They
smiled. They also had given up 30
cents to the young man who was to
be married.-Indianap News.

an esophageal tube or probang is
passed through the nose or mouth

In examination of the abdomen one
should remember that it's size depends
largely upon the breed, sex, and con-
formation of the animal, and also up
on the manner in which the animal
has been fed and the use to which it
has been put. A pendulous abdomen
may be the result of an abdominal tu-
NOR or of an accumulation Of fluid in
the abdominal cavity; or, on the other
hand, it may merely be an indication
Of pregnancy, or of the fact that the
horse has been fed for long time on
bulky and innutritious food. Pendu-
lous abdomen occurring in work
horse kept on concentrated diet Is an
abnormal condition. The abdomen
may increase suddenly in volume from
accumulation of gas in tympanic collie.
The abdomen becomes small and the
horse is said to be tucked up" from
long-continued poor appetite, as in dis
eases Of the digestive tract and in
fever.
In applying the ear to the flank, on
either the right or left side, certain
bubbling sounds may be heard that
are known as peristaltic sounds, be-
cause they are produced by peristalsis,
or wOrmlike contraction of the intes-
tines. These sounds are little louder
on the right side than on the left Oh
account of the fact that the large In
testines lie in the right flank. Alb
sence of peristaltic sounds is always
an indication of disease, and suggests
exhaustion or paralysis of the intes-
tines. This may occur in certain kinds
of collie and is an unfavorable symp-
tom. Increased sounds are heard
where the intestines are contracted

MANY USES FOR KERcHIEFS
Great Variety of Pretty Things Can

There are so many lovely things that

they are the plain hemStitched variety.
For instance, she might follow the
example of one clever girl who had
four hemStitched and embroidered
handkerchiefs given to her. too pretty
for the use for which they were in
tended. She laid them out before her
on the bed. making a large square Of
them, and suddenly the idea occurred
To her TO join them together with
strips OF lace and edge the whole
thing with val edging.
This she did, leaving an opening In
the square where the sides of two
.handkerchiefS met and sewing lace on
bach side instead of joining them to-
eether with one piece Then she threw
the pretty thing about her shoulders,
never even cutting a neck line, and the
pnettiest short negllgee was the result.
