The Garden a Medicine Chest

Every man who has kitchen gar den has a medicine chest in his back yard, although he has not seriously looked upon it as such. In the onion, for example, he has a sulphur oil which gives the onion it's reputation as a remedy for insomnia and which some physicians hold as valuable anodyne for rheumatic" pains. There are certain oils in turnips and par snips that have aperient and diure- tic properties. There is solanin in the potato, and spinach contains iron. Cabbage is highly regarded as a pre- ventative and corrective of scurvy and scrofula.. The composition of the tomato is chemically so subtle that it is not yet fully understood, altho several active principles have been isolated and names have been given to them. Thus the man who eats free ly of vegetables is taking medicine without paying for prescription and without being bothered by the high cost of drugs. In the normal individ- ual the instinctive appetite auto matically regulates the size of the dose.

STATE MAY LOSE LAND
 BY NEGLECT OF OFFICIALS

NORTH YAKIMA, March 26.-To the surprise of United States Land Office officials here State Land Com missioner Clark V. Savidge has ap- parently permitted state land selec- tions aggregating some 43,000 acres to go by default in the North Yakima land district by not perfecting his ap- peal from the rejection made by off cials within the 30 days required by
 law. These lands were claimed by the state as indemnity for tracts re-
 linquished in forest reserves and in lieu of state school sections within the reserves.
 Immediately following the signing
 of the 640-acre homestead law by President Wilson MT. Savage, thru
 clerks in his department, sought to make filings on tracts of the public domain lying within the Jurisdiction of the United States land office in this city. The register and receiver here held the state had no right to file on this land, but under instructions from the department received the fil- ings, but when they came to pass upon them in the usual routine they rejected the lot, in total involving
 some 43,O00 acres. mostly in Yakima and Kittitas counties.

GIRL HIT BY
 AUTO CURED OF HIP DISEASE

VALLEJO, Calif.. March 26.-Be- ing knocked down and dragged more than 80 feet by a runaway automo- bile last night, cured the 19-year-old Lucille Hamilton of a hip trouble that made her a cripple at ten years. But the same doctors who discovered the hip correction declared that the young woman would probably die from the injuries she sustained to her skull and spine. @'
 She was struck by an automobile that had been left standing on a steep grade, and which started on it's downward career when some chil- dren playing with the steering wheel turned the wheels out from the curb.

8O,OOO SALOONS WILL
 CLOSE IN ENGLAND

LONDON, March 26.-Thirty thou sand saloons in Great Britain will be closed during the next few months, recording to the Mail. The measure is proposed as a solution of the difficulty arising from the compulsory restric- tion of the beer output and the brew CTS are said to be in practical agree ment with the government in regard to the remedy.
 The closing of the saloons is said to have been suggested by some of the brewers themselves. They contended that there were too many distributing agencies and that third of them could be suppressed without inconve- niencing the public, while such step would enable the liquor trade to be conducted more economically. The arrangement seems to be, in brief, a pooling agreement between the rival brewers, who own the public houses The brewers have been conferring re. gently with the home office and the re- concentrations drafted at these con- ferences will be submitted to a gen. cral meeting of brewers.

FIGHT ON RUSSIAN THISTll
Land Worked Early and Thoroughly
Seldom Gives Trouble, Says Spe-
ciaIist Of Kansas.

The Russian thistle can be combat
ed as easily as ordinary annud
weeds in the opinion of G. Z. Thomp1
son, specialist in soils and crops IN
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
Land worked early and thoroughly
seldom gives trouble when planted to
some cultivated crop. The weed
should never be allowed to go to seed.
The thistle is more harmful than the
ordinary weed because 1t is drought re-
sistant and thrives when many other
weeds are dead.
If left to stand after a small grain
crop has been harvested, the Russian
thistle decreases. the moisture In the
ground and leaves it In poor condition
for seeding fall wheat. This pest does
not ordinarily give trouble in pastures

GOOD ORCHARD CROPS
Most Of Insect Pests Can Be
Controlled by Spraying.
Injurious Forms Can Be Reached by
Clean Culture, Pruning and Appli-
cation. Of insecticides-Plan
for Good Crop.

Most of the orchard insect pests can
be controlled by simply applying good
orchard management. One Of the most
pathetic sights about farm Is neg
lected home orchard which often be-
comes so overgrown with weeds,
snrouts and briers and so clOgged with
brush and other rubbish that 1t may re-
semble second growth timber more
than a real orchard. In such case
the orchardist's first job Is to clean up
the orchard which will also eliminate
many of the insect foes of the orchard.
In the orchard, broadly speaking, we
have two groups of insects; those
which are beneficial, including the
bees. and lady beetles, and those which
are more or less injurious. The'bene-
fetal forms should be protected While
the Injurious ones should be combat
ed OF the injurious forms some are
controlled by general orchard manage
ment. including clean culture, pruning
and cultivation, while others can he
reached most effectively by applying
snrays or other insecticides.
Some insects feed by extracting SAP
with piercing beak. as the scales and
plant lice. while others chew and swal
low solid material, as the caterpillars
and beetles. Consequently two kind:
of insecticides are needed-thos'
which kill by contact for the suckin:
types and stomach pOisons for tn
chewing types. Leonard Haseman o
the Missouri College of Agriculture
saws that the poison and contact sOlu
lions may be mixed and both applied a
the same time. Likewise fungicid
