RHODES DIED DISSATISFIED.
His Last Words Were, $50 Little Done,
50 Much to Do"

80 little done, so much to do"
This was the sigh of Cecil Rhodes,
one Of the greatest men the world ever
knew. John Hays Hammond, who
knew him well. tells about Rhodes in
the American Magazine. He says:
"The achievements of Rhodes are al
most unthinkable. Long before Amer
lean trusts were attempted he formed
what was then the greatest business
combination IN history and became abb
solute autocrat Of the diamond bust
ness of the whole world. He organized
a huge consolidation Of gold compa-
MES. He was the first inancier coura-
geous enough to institute deep level
mining on the Rand, the method on
which now depends the future of the
greatest of all gold fields.
"No Roman emperor ever won more
territory than Rhodes brought under
his native British flag Through the
chartered company. incorporated In
1889, he added to the British colonial
dominions territory equal to the COM
bined areas Of the British isles, France,
Prussia, Austria and Spain. He made
possible the federation Of all South AT
rtcan states and planned to link Cape
Colony and Cairo by rail, project that
he carried halfway to fruition before
he was cut off by death when he was
only forty-nine years old.
Yet with this record Of empire build
ing behind him his last words as he lay
dying were these:
$50 little done, so much to do"

POTATO BUG CONTROL.
Spraying Or DustIns With Paris Green

VIII XIII the Insects.
The old time custom of picking potato
bugs with a paddle and bucket has
given way on large areas to spraying
or busting vines with poisOns. For
spraying arsenate Of lead and paris
green are mixed with bordeaux mix
ture and applied whenever the beetles
appear busting paris green In flour
OF lime over the vines will also kill off
the insects.
Bordeaux mixture, made of four
pounds of copper sulphate, four pounds
of quicklime and fifty gallons Of water,
is used by potato growers to ward off
fungous diseases. If paris green is
added to this material 1t Will kill the
bugs within day, and when arsenate
Of lead is also mixed In the poison is
effective often for several weeks after
applied to potato vines. The Ohio ag-
ricultural experiment station advises
the use of these compounds soon after
potatoes come up and again about two
weeks later. Sometimes a third appli-
cation ten days to two weeks after the
second is necessary. Early in Septem-
Der the second brood Of beetles ap-
pears, and the treatment must be re-
peated then and about two weeks later
On young vines fifty gallons will be
sufficient to spray an acre. but when
the vines are large two or three times
this amount is necessary.
Specialists at the experiment station
also recommend busting paris green
diluted by bulk with twenty parts Of
finely ground lime and shaken from
cheesecloth bags or blown from a suit
able powder gun over the foliage The
powder is busted on the plants accord
ing to the schedule for spraying.

LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS.
How to Work Without stralnlns the
Muscles Of the Back.


During housekeeping season it is not
uncommon to hear many complaints Of
backache. Oftentimes the muscles OF
the back have actually been strained
from lifting or Juggling at heavy rugs,
ETC., and there is reason for the pain
and discomfort manifested Fortunate
" there is a way to lift heavy weights
without straining the muscles Of the
back. "A wen known metallurgical
company" says Popular Mechanics,
has recently issued instructions show
ing the right and wrong way to lift
heavy objects, such as ingots and cast
ings.
The way which is condemned and
which MANY workmen thoughtlessly
follow consists in grasping the load
with both hands while STOPPING over
and scarcely bending the legs at all.
Lifting in this posture throws most of
the weight on the lower part of the
back, where the muscles are weakest,
and may produce severe strain or
rupture.
"The proper way Is to grasp the load
after squatting down close to It, 20
that the knees are drawn well up
against the body. Lifting In this man.
ner throws the weight on the thighs
and shoulders, which are strong and
best, suited to the severe stress that
comes In raising the body to an erect
posture"

WET OR WASHED EGGS.
They Spoil Easily and Cause an Eror-
nous and Needless Loss.

lbey Spoh Easily ana cause an EIlor-
nous and Needless Loss.
Eggs are needlessly spoiled every year
by washing and wetting. Approximate
" 6,016,O0e dozen eggs spoil every year
get wet or has washed dirty eggs be-
fore sending them to market, according
to the specialists Of the United States
department Of agriculture. Careful in
vestigation of large quantities Of stored
eggs show that from II to % per cent
OF washed eggs become worthless In
storage, whereas only 4 to per cent of
dirty eggs stored unwashed spoil. The
explanation is simple.
Water removes from the shell of the
egg gelatinous covering which helps
keep air and germs out OF the inside Of
the egg. Once the covering is removed
By washing or rain which gets to eggs
in the nest, germs and mold have ready
access to the contents and spoil the
eggs.
The enormous loss In storage eggs
largely can be prevented II producers
and egg handlers, especially during
March, April and May, refrain from
washing eggs destined for the storage
markets and take pains to reduce the
number OF dirty eggs by providing
plenty of clean, sheltered nests for
their hens.
In view Of this great loss of valuable
food the department urges country
storekeepers and hucksters not to &C
cept washed eggs for shipment in case
lots. Shiny eggs, especially In the early
spring, probably have been washed. All
washed eggs purchased should be sold
locally for immediate consumption.

Clean Milk.

The length of time milk will remain
sweet after being taken from the COW
depends almost altogether upon two
factors-frst, the care exercised in
Keeping the milk clean and, second,
the temperature at which the milk is
kept Under careful management in
keeping clean the parts of the machine,
ETC., 1t is possible to milk cows with a
milking machine so that the milk is
fully as clean as when cows are MIXED
by hand. II the machine is kept In
first class condition and If all prac-
teal precautions are taken against
contamination during milking, there is
no reason to believe milk will not keep
sweet for a good length Of time pro-
vided. of course, that it is kept in clean
utensils, cooled down and kept cool
following milking. -Hoard's Dairyman.

A prominent member of the financial
district, who has had many ups and
downs nancially-who has been In
dependently rich on several different
occasions and who has as frequently
been in the place where he did not
know where next months rent might
come from, states unequivocally that
credit Is mans best capital"
He says that credit is something that
may be invested and used to great ad-
vantage In business, but should not be
sQuandered, lived on or worn away.
"A mans credit may outlast dozen
fortunes and enable him 10 succeed on
another attempt" he AYERS, and states

: '"To use ones credit ip business may
be wise and profitable Investment,
but to live on credit and thus wear It
away is, always dangerous. A man
should live on what be earns and invest
his credit only after careful investiga-
ton, and when his best judgment con-
vinces him that 1t viii be safe and

A SLICE or BREAD.
The Result Of Wasting Only One
Day IN Every Home.

Day In Every Home.
A single slice of bread seems an un-
important thing. In many households
one or more shoes Of bread daily ate
thrown away and NOT used Tor hhman
food. Sometimes stale charter Or half
leaves are thrown out.
Yet one good sized slice Of bread,
such as child likes to cut-weighs an
ounce. It contains almost three-fourths
Of an ounce of -four.
II every one OF the country's 10000
600 homes wastes on the average only
one slice of bread day the country is
throwing away daily over $4,000, 900
ounces OF fiour--over $40. 900 pounds, or
enough -four for over a million one
pound loaves a day. For full year at
this rate there would be waste Of
over 819 ZOO, 600 pounds Of -four, 6O0,-
600 barrels Of four-enough to make
S6C, OO0, 900 loaves.
As 1t takes four and one-half bushels
Of wheat to make a barrel Of ordinary
-four, this waste would represent the
nour from over 100000 bushels OF
wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels OF
wheat on the average are raised per
acre. 1t would take the fruit Of some
10000 acres Just to provide a single
slice of bread to be wasted daily In
every home.
To produce this much -four calls for
an army of farmers, railway men and
-four mill people. TO get the -four to
the consumer calls for many freight
oars and the use OF many tons Of coal
But, some one says. a full slice OF
bread Ia not wasted in every home
Very well. Make Il daily slice fpi
every four or even ten or etery thirty
homes, make weekly or monthly slice
In every home or make the wasted slice
