Notice! This garden is under

"All trespassinE is prohibited

These signs were received by

Plants attacked by black-leg take

attacks the stem and leaves.

Although the garden beginner
cannot combat cabbage disease with
any success, he can destroy the several
kinds OF insects which attack cab
bage plants.
Insects to KIN on.
The principal insects which at
attack the plants are the cabbage
worm. cabbage lice. the cabbage mag
got and the well-known cut worm.
These are all chewing worms and
may be killed by the arsenate Of lead
spray, which Is deadly poison to
them. This spray Is also poisonous to
human beings. 80 IL should not be
used after the cabbage heads have
formed. Pyrethrum should be used
against cabbage insecth when the
plants have headed. This kills the
insects but does not poison human
beings.
''Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts
are afflicted by these same insects,
which may be combatted in the same
way"

Think of a WheeIIess World.

If Supreme Being, moved to wrath
against humanity, desired to deprive
it of one of it's vital assets in life, it
would be sufficient punishment to take
away the wheel, and make it impOs-
sible to continue it hencefOrth, says a
writer in the current issue of Ameri-
can MOtoriSt. Imagine, for moment,
the world without a single wheel !!
There would be no transportation ex-
cept that performed by beasts of bur-
den or sailing craft, and all machinery
would be at once reduced to q few
hand tools. The clock would throw up
it's hands and pass its job over to the
sun dial and the hour glass. In short,
once the wheel was taken from man,
instantly he is put back practically
into prehistoric conditions. Think the
matter over, and you will realize that
the debt of. civilization to the common
wheel is beyond computation. If the
world could only ascertain who the
discoverer of the wheel really was, it
should erect to him the most splendid
monument ever built by man, because
no man since Adam has done so much
for human progress as the original
wheel man, whoever he was.

Your task is to form the universal
family, to build the City of God, and
by continuous labor gradually to
translate his work in humanity into
fact.
When you love one another as
brothers, and treat each other recip-
rocally as such; when each one, seek
ing his own good in the good of all,
shall identify his own life with the

The Girl That Counts.

There are cloudy days and days of
sunshine. The cloudy days have their
limitations; for certain conditions they
are acceptable and we welcome the
gray sky, the heavy rains. But the
day of sunshine has no limitations !;
it is always welcome, always joy bear
ing. The sick, the helpless, the
laborer, the weary, all hail the day of
sunbeams, and this is just what hap
pens to the girl who scatters sunshine.
The gloomy girl is given standing
room, but the girl who leaves ray of
sunshine everywhere is the girl that
everyone welcomes. The girl who
works with smile, the girl who looks
on the bright side, who always has a
CHEEKY word, who can find time to take
a bunch of flowers to friend, or write
a word of sympathy to the one in need
lin short, the girl who can transform
sadness into gladness, by the force of
her sunny presence, is the girl that
counts wherever she may be found
