sac and sifted onto the cabbage
heads, giving each leaf a light, dusty
coating. The great disadvantage of
the dust method is that the poison
is easily blown off by the wind.
Arsenate of lead is slower than
Paris green, and, considering the
amount that must be used, more ex-
pensive. 1t is more adhesive, how
ever, and will give protection for a
longer period. Use as follows: Ar
senate of lead (paste), three ounces;
soap, A ounces; water, four gallons.
Arsenate of lead in powder form
is now being put on the market and
can be applied as a dust.
Arsenate of zinc is a new arsenical
which has been used with success in
killing cabbage worms. It has the
good qualities of both Paris green
and ~arsenate of lead and is relatively
cheaper. For a spray use as follows:
Arsenate of zinc, n and one-half
ounces; soap, four ounces; water,
four gallons.
Arsenate of zinc is a light, fluffy
powder and the dust method could,
therefore, be used in applying it.
Arsenicals in Cabbage.
Many persons allow worms to de-
stroy their cabbages because they con-
slider it unsafe to eat them after they
have been sprayed with an arsenical
poison, but according to Professor
Gillette of Colorado, twenty-eight
cabbages busted in the ordinary way
would have to be eaten by a human
being at one meal in order to produce
poisonous effects. If a person stops
to consider he will easily see why this
statement must be true. All of the
growth of the cabbage is from with

ton in competition with the demand
for machines of war.
The railroads of the country, &C.
cording to one of their officials, are
being compelled in the present emer-
gency to rescue practically every
scrap locomotive from the old-iron
graveyards and rebuild them for &C
tive service. A similar plan should
be adopted, says the department, for
the reclamation of this cast-off farm
equipment through the agency of CEN
trail repoir shops where the work
could be done. Many of the machines
might be made available for further
service with repairs of comparatively
small cost.
Added to the almost sinful careless
ness of some farmers there has been
the attitude on the part of farm ma
chinery manufacturers in years past
to favor the abandonment of worn and
disabled machinery in order to sell
new one ;but now the time has ar
rived when it is difficult to supply
the market with the necessary new
machinery. The department suggests
that representatives of the manufac.
turers, on the one hand, and of the
farmers-such as farm bureau agents
or county agents-on the other hand,
should get together to establish the
necessary farm machinery repair sta
tions in convenient localities.

SEASON OF CABBAGE WORMS;
WATCH FOR THE BUTTERFLIES

Growers of cabbage and cauliflower
are greatly annoyed at this season
of the year by the green cabbage
worms, which seem to be unusually
abundant this year. Many persons,
seeing a cloud of pretty white butter
flies lowering over the cabbage patch
fail to associate them with the green
ish worms which are so ravenously
devouring the cabbage leaves. Diff
ferent as they may seem, these but
terflies are the parents of the worms.
The butterflies deposit tiny white
eggs which hatch into worms in about
eight days.
One of the most effective ways of
controlling cabbage worms is to ap-
ply paris green either as a spray or a
dust. For a spray use paris green,
one ounce; soap, four ounces; water,
four gallons.
Soap is necessary in order to make
the spray spread over the waxy sur
face of the cabbage leaf and to Sc
cure a uniform distribution Of the
poison. When it is not used the
spray runs together in large drops
which either fall to the ground or
leave the poison concentrated in
spots. Whale oil soap is to be pre-
ferred but any foundry soap will
answer the purpose.
The Dust Method.
If a sprayer is not to be had, the
dust method may be used. Paris
green is mixed with dry air-slaked
lime at the rate of Paris green, one
ounce ;air-slaked lime, one pound.
This may be either applied with q
powder gun or tied into a thin clotF

OVERHEARD BY A NEIGHBOR

Judson, one evening arrived home
so late and so confused that he crawl
ed on to the soft earth of a flower
bed in the middle of the front lawn
and placidly went to sleep. When he
awoke in the morning he looked up
and saw his wife wrathfully staring
down on him from the upper bedroom
window. Still rather confused and
feeling decidedly chilly, the late bird
called up to her:
"Woman, shut that window at once!
Do you want me to catch my death of
cold?"

BEWARE OF SPECTATORS

De ARE VI SfCNO LA AOANO
Shippers of grain, hay and feed r
advised by the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture, to be on the lookout for what is
known as shippers order bill of
lading" transactions with unknown or
irresponsible persons. Shipping a
lots to such buyers under no obliga-
ton other than to pay for the ship
ment if they finally take it out of
the cars, tends to encourage specula-
ton and is liable to increase freight
congestion. Some of these buyers
order products shipped in the hope
that the price will go up in the mean
time and enable them to sell locally
to a local dealer who will pay cash.
Unless they succeed in selling to
others, many of these Shippers ord
er" consignees have insufficient CAPT.
tai to pay for the goods, which some
times fall back on the shipper.
In a case recently Investigated by
the department a man without finan-
cial standing, who posed as q ccm-
mercial company, succeeded in pur-
chasing large shipments of hay and
mill feed. As there was nc advance
in price and as he had nc cash with
which to meet the drafts, he held the
goods for several weeks in the cars
on the track. Some Of the cars were
on the track for over 20 days before
unloading. When he succeeded in
selling a car, instead of paying his
own cash for it, he sent his custo-
mer to the bank to release the draft,
The day the department investigator
was on the ground this man had 1a
cars of hay and 9 cars of mill feed or
the track, papers for II more cars er
route, and a number more still tt
be shipped. 1t was stated locally thai
in the same kind of transaction il
the past a severe decline in price rem
dered this individual unable to pay fol

A X LESSON

At the end of a South Carolina COL

up a collection for charity. The chair
MAJ passed the hat himself. He
dropped a dime in it for a uest egg.
Well, every right hand there entered
that hat, and, yet, at the end, when
the chairman turned the hat over
and shook it, not as much as his own
contribution dropped out.
"Fo' de lan's sake!" he cried. "Ahs

in, while the poison is applied only
to a few of the outside leaves. In
preparing the cabbage for market
and later for the table many of the
outside leaves are removed, so that
even though considerable poison
might have originally existed on the
outside leaves, practically none
would be found on the edible part.
Moreover only a very small quantity
(a(bout O.O4 ounce) is put on each
plant and much of this is removed
by the action of wind and rain. We
therefore, feel perfectly safe in stat
ing that there is absolutely no dan
