To the Editor Of the Free Preas.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
A report has reached me that excursions
from Montpelier and other points to Fort
Ethan Allen are contemplated in the near
future. 1t is my duty to notify the public
that on account of the large number Of
young men in the garrison and camp. 1t
is imperative that the danger of mporta-
ton of germs of infantile paralysis be
counteracted in every way possible ana
that consequently excursions from points
infected with this disease should be dis
couraged. 1t may become necessary to
prohibit excursionists from entering the
military reservation and. as last re-
sort, all sports and entertainments on
Sunday afternoons may have to be stop
ped.

cinnati authority, who claims that a
few drops of a drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching
corn or hardened callus stops sore
ness at once, and soon the corn or
callus dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediate
~ and never infames or ven irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very lit

lively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Mil
lions of American women will well

you.-Adv.

Eeneral rule, it is well to have the
crop follow some other one that has
been kept under the hoe and free
from weeds the previous season.
There are three methods Of propa-
eating onions: the first, by sowing the
seed in rows where the crop is to
grow; second, by sowing the seed in
specially prepared beds and trans,
planting the seedlings to the open
ground; and third, by planting sets
which have been kept through the win
ter. The first method Is used by large
commercial growers on account Of the
amount Of labor involved in the others.
On small areas, however, it may be
preferable to plant sets.
Onions planted from sets will ripen
earlier than those from seed and sown
in the fields. When the transplanting
method is used, the seed is sown in
greenhouses, hotbeds, cold frames, or
specially prepared beds at the rate Of
three and one-half to four pounds for
each acre to be planted. The seed
lings are transplanted when they are
somewhat smaller than q lead pencil
and rather stocky. The root end Of
the Seeding is pushed into the soil
with one finger and the soil is then
frmed about the plant.
! In the North the cror ripens and Is
harvested during the latter part Of the
summer and early autumn. In the
Southern states where the crop is
grown during the winter, the harvest
ing and marketing period takes place
during the spring months.

juuently more than they a devour.
Every year these insects, working gen.
orally throughout the United States,
have destroyed hundreds Of thousands
of dollars worth Of crops. By the
timely application Of remedies, how
ever, they readily can be controlled,
even over considerable areas. The
usual method Of control is by the use
of poisoned bats.
j Take a bushel Of dry bran, add n
pound Of white arsenic or paris green,
and mix it thoroughly into mash with
eight gallons Of water in which has
been stirred half a gallon Of sorghum
or other cheap molasses. (Arsenic
and paris green are deadly poisons.
Handle them with great care.) This
amount will be sufficient for the treat
,ment of about four or five acres of
cultivated crops. After the mash has
stood for several hours, scatter 1t, in
Jumps about the size Of a marble, over
the fields where the injury is beginning
to appear and about the bases Of the
plants set out. Apply late in the day,

plants before night, which is the time
when the cutworms are active. Apply
q second time, If necessary. Keep
children, live stock and chickens away
from this bait.

On the farm of }. B. Ferguson are thousands
of cubic yards of road material. At five cents a
load this material is worth 500 an acre. The
land would be better if this rock were removed
and better crops would be raised. MIR: Ferguson
would receive $500 cash per acre for the mater
ial and still own the acre. Any farmer who has
road material could sell the same to the contrac-
tor, receive cash for the same and still own the
acre. The contractor does not want the land, ne
wants the rock and you are clearing the land at
the same time. What is true of MIR. Ferguson IS
true of hundreds of farmers in Abbeville county:

The San Jose, oyster-shell and
scurfy scales are very generally pres
ent in apple orchards throughout the
country. The San Jose scale Is by all
odds the most injurious and in the alb
sence Of annual treatment will destroy

v1dual scale is about the size Of a

inence in the center. When abundant

SWISS CHARD IS NEGLECTED
Old Vegetable Does Not Receive Atten-
ton Formerly Given to It.
Good at Any Time.

By LIE ROY CADY, Assistant Horticul-
turist, University Farm, st. Paul)
Swiss chard Is an old vegetable, but
one that does not seem to be grown a
great deal. It is used entirely for
greens, much the same as young beets
or spinach. One advantage Of Swiss
chard is that leaves may bescut from
it and others take their place, thus
doing away with successive sowing.
1t Is good any time from the time 1t
is large enough to 8 until cold wealth
err. When the plant gets pretty near
full grown, the leaves may be picked
and the midrib taken out, and the leaf
part cooked the same as spinach. The
midrib is also occasionally used, being
cooked the same as asparagus.

ALFALFA IS A CONCENTRATE
Must Be Fed as Such In Order to So
cure Best ResuIts-cut When In.
Full Bloom for Horses.

Alfalfa must be considered as a con-
centrate and fed as such in order to
get best results. Not more than
twelve pounds a day for each 1000
pounds Of live weight should be fed.
Other roughage, such as sorghum, corn
fodder, kafr or sudan grass, may
be grown and fed with alfalfa.
To make the best horse feed, alfalfa
should not be cut until it is In full
bloom, and should be carefully cured
In order to keep it from becoming
musty ard dusty. Such hay should not
be fed under any condition, for it pro
d2ces heaves.

HIDES ARE QUITE VALUABLE
No Other Product on Farm Given al
Little Consideration as Skins Of
Various Animals.

Probably no other article on a farm
is given as little consideration for the
actual value involved as the hides and
skins Of cattle, horses and calves
killed or which have died from natural
or other causes. A great many people
believe that hides are valuable only
when taken from animals slaughtered
for beef. While a hide taken off In
this manner usually is more attractive
to q tanner, hides from dead animals
If removed within a reasonable time,
command full value. Horse hides
also bring a good price, although not
as much as a COW hide as the leather
cannot be used for sole leather pur-
poses.
When an animal dies it should be
skinned as soon al possible, especially
In warm weather.

<i,. Box Stalls.

! A years effort may be lost by neg
lecting brood mares at foaling time. In
view of the time which it takes to pro-
duce a foal, one q i'll afford not to
give the necessary attention to the anil
mails. A little care for a few nights
will often save the entire years work.
e. A. Trowbridge, professor Of animal
industry in the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture, offers the following sugges-
tons concerning the care Of mares at
foaling time:
In foal mares may be worked to
within two or three days Of foaling.
Should work cease before that time,
rations should be decreased materially.
.Rations should consist Of bran, oats
and other laxative foods.
In foal mares should be provided
with box stalls, If possible, some time
before they foal. These stalls should
be kept clean and properly disinfected.
As soon after birth as possible, the
foal's navel should be tied and disin.
,fected with iodine or some other good
d%isinfectant. Careful attention should
be given to see that the foal's digestive
apparatus and kidneys are in working
,order within "a hours after birth.
Mares, after foaling, should be given
water, not too cold and not in too large
quantity. The ration for two or three
days should be comparatively light,
and similar tn nature to that fed be.
