The Last of the Caribs.

The Carib Indian was the first rep
resentative of Lo the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs 1t, because as
living race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies In 1892 is
largely a matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today it is doubtful
whether there are a hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British island Of
Dominica, on a reservation set apart
for them called Salybia.

Farm and Fireside, sis plan to line
the roads of the township with trees.
The principal reason advanced by the
committee which has charge of the
project is to make the roads more
pleasant to travel in the heat of sum-
mer.
'In addition, the trees will in meas
ure help to keep the surrounding
ground moist by preventing rapid evap-
grafton, thus keeping down the dust.
They will shelter travellers during
storms, check the erosion of bitches
on hills, beautify adjacent property,
and add to the general attractiveness
of land values of the community.
s'Those who start such work are not
likely to live long enough to see their
plans fully completed and to enjoy the
shade. This fact lends pathetic touch
to the project as well as indicating a

the surface considerable number of
roots, and these are eaten by cattle,
with resulting sickness and death.
In cases of the poisoning of human
beings the recognized treatment is to
give an efficient emetic, followed by a
cathartic. Some form of opium may
be given to control the commissions
when they are violent. If free vomit-
ing is promptly produced, the patient
is likely to recover.
1t is obvious that ruminant animals
cannot be treated in this way, for the
effective clearing of the stomach is
impossible. While hypodermic injec-
tons of morphine may be used to aid
in controlling the commissions and
purgative may help in eliminating the
poison, ordinarily the commissions are
so violent that nothing can be done for

LAY-OFF WILL HELP MINORS
Best Thing That Could Have
Happened to Them.

The suspension of schedules by a
number Of the minor leagues is prob
ably the best thing that could have
happened for them under existing con-
ditions.
Population In the minor league
cities is comparatively small if you
count the baseball fans alone, and in
war time the tendency to conserve
finances is greater in the small cities
and towns than in cities of the first
class. In addition to this, the base
ball population in the larger cities Is
large enough to keep ball club rum
ming at small profit.
For the lack of this the minor league
magnate is always up against it when
times become panicky, and without
baseball for the remainder Of 1917 and
probably throughout the season OF
1918, II the war continues, the minor
league fans wiz have time to recover
their balance and will be baseball hun

REGULATE SWARMING
TO INCREASE HONEY
Expert of Missouri College Gives
Suggestions Intended to As
sist Bee Keepers.

Bee Swarming is natural. and cam
not be entirely prevented though it can
be regulated. Some strains of honey
bees, such as the small black bees,
swarm more often than others, though
all strains may be expected to swarm
when conditions are right. To secure
the greatest production of surplus
honey, reduce swarming to minimum.
BY repeated, swarming many weak
colonies are produced, each of which
stores little If any surplus honey, and
they may all be so weak that they will
perish during the following winter.
Congestion in the hive, tree or other
abode, restriction of the brood nest,
over-heating, due to poor air circula-
ton and the lack Of shade, and an
overabundance of drones, are some
factors which tend to encourage
swarming. Leonard Haseman Of the
University of Missouri college Of ag-
riculture offers the following sugges-
lions for regulating swarming: Make
the abode of the colony comfortable,
give it shade, remove drone brood, pro-
In the supers, and make sure that the
brood chamber is large enough to ac-
commodate the colony.
The tendency to swarm is usually
most noticeable during May, June and
early July, and II the foregoing pre-
cautions are taken in time they will
help prevent development of the
swarming fever. If the swarming fe-
yer is once developed by colony,
swarming is much more difficult to pre-
vent. The careful removal Of queen
cells every week may help to prevent
the swarm from emerging but may not
relieve the swarming fever. By remov-
Ing part of the brood combs rich In
brood and giving them to weaker col
onies In exchange for some OF their
,smbs which haNs little or no brood,

SURFACES FOR HILLY ROADS
Slipping and Skidding on Smooth, Hard
Covering Is an Ever-Present
Dread Among Farmers.

Slipping on billy roads is one of the
unfortunate results which horses must
suffer as result of covering the roads
with hard surfaces, while the possibili-
ty of skidding on these slopes is an
ever-present dread among motorists.
A special form of paving brick, called
hillside BRICKS" is made for use on
grades exceeding one foot rise in 20
feet horizontal distance. These bricks
have grooves cut across their tops to
hold the shoes of the horses and the
tires of the cars, and have been re-
ceived with much favor by road build
ers. Recently the same object has
been attained with bituminous roads
built on hills, by leaving them with a

ERG0T is DANGEROUS
POISON TO ANIMALS
No Remedy for "Ergotism" and
Stockmen Should Avoid Graz
ing on Infested Areas.
By W. w. ROBBINS, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)

(By W. w. ROBBINS. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)
Ergot is name applied to one stage
of a fungus that works in the heads
of number of grasses. 1t causes one
Of the oldest known stock diseases, the
so-called "ergotism."
The ergot stage Of the fungus is
abundant in the fall. 1t forms pur-
p1e-black, straight or hornlike, hard
structures about one-fourth to one-half
inch long. These structures occupy
the position of the grain In the head Of
grass. This hard mass is not degen-
crate kernel Of grass, however. The
black ergot masses vary In size and
shape, depending upon the plant at
tackled. They are largest in rye. Ergot
develops upon number of grasses
There is no effective remedy for err
gotism. Hence one should become ia.

the normal emergence of brood Is dis
turbed, which tends to relieve the
swarming fever.
1t should be remembered that the
production of comb honey encourages
swarming more than the production Of
extracted honey. Under present condi-
lions, when it Is so urgent that more
honey be produced to relieve the sugar
shortage, small as well as commercial
beekeepers are urged to produce more
extracted or chunk honey and less of
the fancy section honey. Bees work
more readily in frames than in pound
sections; and where the honey is ex-
tracted and the empty combs returned
for reflling much more honey will be
obtained. This in itself will materially
help to regulate swarming.

rough surface. This method of con-
struction was developed by the Mas
sachusetts state highway commission.
According to Engineering News, the
roadbed is covered with broken stone
from two to three inches in size, which
is rolled until the bed is three inches
thick. This bed then has hot asphalt
applied to it by pressure distributor
at the rate of two and three-fourths
to three gallons per square yard. This
asphalt fills the spaces between the
stones, but the latter are so large that
their tops project somewhat above the
asphalt binder and thus afford a foot
hold in any but icy weather.

VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS
Value Of Farm Increased by Getting
Crops to Market Rapidly and
CheapIy as Possible.

The value of good roads is becom-
ing more and more recognized In the
United States every day. Wise men
point to the fact that tap-line railroad
spurs cannot be constructed in the
country for less than $4,000 a mile,
and that the cost of these must be paid
by the commodity transported over
them.
The good roads do not cost so much
and are just as efficient. Everything
that makes it easier to get crops to
the market raises the value of farm
lands by making them more profitable
to the farmer.

which sometimes take the form of a
group of tubers. The cicuta is most
readily distinguished from plants of
similar appearance growing under the
same conditions by the transverse
chambers in the rootstock. These can
be seen by making a longitudinal sec
ton. Further description, except by
botanical terms, is difficult, but the cir
cular mentioned presents Illustrations
that make recognition easier.
Only the root of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases of poisoning are more frequent
in the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time and partly because they appear
to be more poisonous then than later in
the season. Occasionally stock find the
roots when they are washed out by
high water in small streams. Farm
ers in their blowing sometimes bring to

plowed where the plant grows, care
should be taken that no roots are. left
where stock can get at them. Where
the plants grow in great abundance, as
they frequently do along irrigating
bitches, it is desirable to dig them out.
When this is done the roots should not
be left on the surface, but should be
destroyed. 1t is seldom that stock are
poisoned when grazing, unless they
Craze along bitches where the plants
sometimes grow almost in the water
with very little soil and can easily be
pulled up.
Perhaps there is no way to prevent
some cases of poisoning of children.
Something might be accomplished, how
ever, if parents and teachers would at
tempt to make clear to children the
danger of eating strange roots.
