IT'S FAREWELL TO OLGA NOW
No Longer viii the Beautiful Nihilist
Grip Readers of Russian Novels
and Short Stories.

Czarism having vanished from the
Russian scheme, we are preparing to
take leave of several friends long en-
deared to us by many novel and
short story. We shall miss Olga the
beautiful nihilist, very much, declares
the London Globe. She had so many
tones of voice, but her chief tones
were either dangerous or tense.
The former was used when she was
striving to fascinate the tall young
Englshman from the embassy in Pc
trograd the latter when Olga was get
ing up disagreeable governors with
bombs.
We generally noticed 1t was Olga
who was selected to project the disin-
tegrating missile into the bad COVER
nor's sleigh. Her men friends simply
sat around and egged her on, and al
luded to her in admiring tones as the
Daughter of freedom" Cor of the
Revolution" or something). We also
noticed another thing about Olga, and
that was, that If she was not named
Olga she was called Vera. Or vice
versa.
But, Olga or Vera, we shall miss her
very much, with her eyes dark as
night" We never know how much
we liked her till we read real Rus
sian novel and found nobody In 1t re.
sembling her at all.

their honey stomachs with honey. In
this condition they are less liable to
sting. Pinching bees between the
fingers invites trouble as 1t Is their
privilege and nature to resent such
careless treatment. The warm part of
the day when the workers are actively
gathering nectar or pollen is the best
time to handle the colony, for at such
times there are fewer bees in the hive
and those present are more docile. The
brood chamber should not be opened
when the weather is cold, If 1t can be
avoided, for the queen and the brood
may become chilled.
These are few of the precautions
which the beginning beekeeper In par
tlcular should keep In mind. A care
full study of the bee and It's life and
habits and little effort to adjust ones
actions to those of the bees will soon
make beekeeping both an interesting
and profitable pursuit. Every farmer
should produce his own supply of
honey by keeping and properly car
ing for few stands Of bees.

CONTROLLING POTATO
BEETLE BY SPRAYING
Results of Field Work Conducted
at Tidewater, Virginia, Dur
ing Season of 1914.

A report recently received from the
Virginia station contains a general
summary of the results of field work
on the control Of the Colorado potato
beetle conducted in Tidewater, Vir-
ginia, during the season of 1914. The
results indicate that for the farmer
who grows five acres or more of pota-
toes bordeaux mixture "a :50), to-
gether with arsenate of lead paste
from four to six pounds, and one pound
Of paris green to 30 gallons of mixture
has not yet been surpassed as a spray
for potatoes by any of the proprietary
insecticides now In use either from the
standpoint of efficiency or economy.
1t Is thought that the most economical
and efficient results In spraying under
,Tidewater conditions may be obtained
through the application Of paris green
and lime dust when the first green
shoots are showing, followed as soon
as the plants are from four to eight
inches high by some liquid spray, pref
erably that above mentioned. This
should be applied at least every ten
days.

whites and yolks Of three eggs, add
three tablespoonfuls Of water, pinch
of salt and q dash Of pepper to the
yolks, beating well. Whip the whites
until light and stiff but not dry, stir
In the yolks lightly and put into a
hot buttered omelet pan. When ready
to fold sprinkle thickly with well
favored cheese, fold In half and place
in a hot oven after sprinkling with
cheese. Remove when the cheese is
melted and sprinkle with finely minced
parsley.
Celery OmeIet.-Beat the yolks of
two eggs, add two tablespoonful Of
cream, two of chopped celery, and salt
and pepper to season. Fold In the

in a hot buttered pan until lightly

oven to finish on top. Fold and turn
out on a hot platter. A rich white
sauce may be served with this, making
most satisfactory luncheon dish.

ter and add ii to three-fOurths pint Of
boiling water. Boil and stir until a
thin, clear paste Is formed. Slowly
sift the mixture of strychnine and soda
into the starch paste, stirring constant
ly to form smooth, creamy mass.
Add one-fourth pint of heavy corn
strip and 1 tablespoonful of glycerin,
and STIR Add one-tenth ounce Of sac
charine, and again stir thoroughly.
Pour this mixture while still hot over
Is quarts Of clean oats, and mix until
all the grain Is coated.
If alkaloid strychnine is not avail
able, the sulphate may be used, either
powdered or In crystals, but 1t Is neces-
sary to vary the formula. Dissolve the
strychnine In the boiling water before
adding the cold starch solution. After
the poisoned starch paste Is clear, stir
In the soda very slowly. Afterwards
add the strip, glycerin and saccha-
rine as In the above directions and mix
with the grain.
For mixing small quantities an ordi-
nary metal washtub Is convenient. For
&c u light, DoA
may be used, and the mixing done with
hoe or spade.
Each quart Of the prepared grain is
sufficient to treat about fifty prairie
dog burrows. Scatter the grain on
clean, hard ground near the mounds or
burrows, never on loose soil or in
holes. With reasonable care, cattle,
sheep, or other live stock on the range
will not be endangered.
This poison is effective at any sea-
son when prairie dogs are active, but,
on the whole, early spring or a time Of
drought, when green food Is scarce, is
preferred for poison operations. In the
South, or wherever the animals do not
hibernate, winter poisoning is recon-
mended. The cost Of complete exter-
mination of the animals, including
labor, need not exceed four or five
cents an acre.

KEEPING CROWS OUT
OF The CORN FIELD
ScarecroW Is Still in Common
Use-Be Careful in Using
Poison of Any Kind.
(By F. L. wAsHBURN.)

Scarecrows, poisoned corn and crows
hung from poles in the field are COM
mon methods of protecting seed corn
from crows.
The old scarecrow is still In COM
mon use about the corn fields and some
farmers string white cord about the
field from which they hang bright
pieces of tin which flutter in the wind
Scarecrows, If used, should be
changed occasionally. The crows soon
become accustomed to any scarecrow,
however.
A very effective way of keeping
crows from the corn Is to shoot two
or three and hang them by a string
from poles In the field. Some farmers
resort to trapping and, having caught
few crows in steel traps, hang
them alive from poles. This Is not a
humane practice, and we cannot there
fore, recommend 1t.
II one uses poisoning, corn may be
soaked In a solution of strychnlne
Ten cents worth Of sulphate Of strych-
nine dissolved in enough hot water to
soak two quarts Of corn will serve
well. Poisoned bait Of this kind
should be scattered about the field late
in the evening, when there will be less
danger of Its being eaten by poultry
stock or game birdS

ment Of Agriculture)
The plains marmot, or prairie dog,
is widely distributed on the plains east
Of the Rocky mountains, from northern
Mexico almost to the Canadian border.
Several other forms occupy the noun
tain valleys and parks westward. All
live In thickly populated colonies, or
towns" and subsist on vegetation.
They often take fully half the pastur-
age on the ranges and greatly reduce
the carrying capacity for live stock.
Several Western states have attempted
TO provide for the determination of
prairie dogs through legislation en-
nctments; and In some Of them, no
tably Kansas, the pest has greatly de-
creased. Within the national forests
Bettlers have complained of inability to
cope with the animals, because their
lands when freed from prairie dogs
are reinfested from the surrounding
government lands. For this reason
and for range improvement the depart
ment of agriculture has undertaken
systematic determination work within
the forests and has already succeeded
in freeing large areas Of these animals.
Trapping Is too slow method Of ex-
terminating prairie dogs, and fumiga-
ton Is too expensive. AS In the case
Of ground squirrels, strychnine has
proved to be the most satisfactory poi
son. Oats of the best quality obtain
able should be used as bait. 1t has
been found that prairie dogs take this
grain readily, even when green food Is
abundant. Wheat Is well adapted for
winter poisoning. and in the South,
where heavy oats are rarely obtain
able. milo maize or feterita Is an ex-
cellent substitute.
Mix thoroughly ounce of powdered
strychnine (alkaloid) and 1 ounce Of
common baking soda (bicarbonate).
