Cheap Disinfectants.

Not all germicides are insecticides,
but some distnfectants operate doubly.
The list of cheap. efficient and handy
materials includes whitewash. car
bolic acid. air-siaked lime. gasoline.
gas-tar. dips. boiling water and cop
peras tsulphate OF iron)- All are
harmless. except the acid, and may
be used profusely. In the sanitary
science of tho poultry coop one must
remember that germs infest filth and
the feeding places. Therefore. in
the event of an epidemic floors. foun-
tains and feed hoppers ard boards
are the danger point. With rermin.
cracks. corners and all interstices are
the strongholds. This familiarity
with the sources of infection. the
habits of the germ or parasite and
the spots likely to harbor or dis
tribute them increases the chances
of an early victory. OF the whole
year July and August are the critical
months.
This year of all years our hens and
fiocks have a work of inestirable
value. Poultry of every sort is mus
tered into service TO make possible
our meatless and wheatless days. An
army of singing, ciucking. scratching
hens is working indefatigably. Shall
We not. by increased attention to
their health demands. give them
their chance to make new record
for efficiency?

Fighting Fungus Pests.

Fungus diseases are fought with
remedies called fungicides. The best
all-purpose fungicide Is Bordeaux
mixture, which has been used for
many years in fighting many kinds
Of diseases.
Bordeaux may be used with poison

insects at one time, and with nico-
tine sulphate 80 aa to kill diseases
and sucking insects at one time. The
prepared Bordeaux is effective, but
more expensive than the homemade
brands

Fighting the Chewers.
Spray for the Suckers.

Most of those insects which suck
their food from the garden plants
should be attacked by spraying as
soon rs they appear. Most of them
are small and may be overlooked until
they have cone considerable injury;
SO the gardener must have sharp eyes
to protect his crops. Get after them
at once. as they multiply rapidly and
besides the leaves crumple up with
edges rolled under and protect them.
The best remedy Cor sucking insects
is nicotine sulphate. which is to-
bacco preparation often called black
leaf 40. Use half an ounce with an
ounce or two of laundry or other soap
dissolved in three gallons of water
The soap increases the killing power.
Shave up a quarter or half pound of
hard soap. put 1t in a quart Jar and
pour water on for use when needed.
Soft soap will do. Strong soap suds
will kill part OF the plant lice and II
used often enough will hold them in
check.
Other remedies. like kerosene emul-
sion. will Kill sucking insects, but are
rather difficult to prepare. Nicotine
sulphate is by far the best remedy
and 1t may be added in Bordeaux
mixture with or without poison. and
this you spray for diseases and in
sects at one time. Spray from the
under side of the leaves where the
aphids are hid. as spraying will do no
good unless 1t hits them.

Outfits for Spraying.

It Is an easy matter to decide what
kind of spraying apparatus to get.
1t simply depends upon the size of
garden and whether you want a part
nership pump with a neighbor or two,
II you decide to use liquid sprays. If
you expect to depend on dust spray
ing, then the simplest duster Is a tin
with holes punched in the bottom.
With this the poisoned dust or sui
phur can be sifted on the plants A
-four sitter is also good for this pur-
pose. but the most efficient duster is
one with bellows which blows the
dust out with considerable force.
For liquid spraying in a very small
garden there Is small hand sprayer
on the squirt gun" order with a lit
tie container to hold the liquid. The
best one Of this type has a glass con-
tainer which the spray cannot cor
rode. These cost from so cents up.
The bucket pumps are efficient and
reliable in every respect, but are
little unhandy for one person to use
because he must pump with one hand
and then the pump and bucket must
be moved from place to place because
the spray will reach only few feet
in any direction.

TIME TO WAGE WAR
ON GARDEN PESTS
Time, Trouble and Losses
Saved by Fighting First
Broods of Insect Foes.

Now that the early crops are all
well advanced and many of the later
paintings either terminating or in
the ground. 1t is high time to begin
aggressive warfare on the myriad In
sects. worms, grubs and other ami
mated enemies of the garden. as well
as the blights, rusts and other dis
eases due to fungous organisms OF
various kinds. II you have not al
ready started the warfare, lose no
time. The earlier broods Of insects
are already on the job. and by kill
ing these off. so that they will be
unable to propagate. the summers
work will be lessened by just that
much. and considerable time, labor
and trouble, as well as losses, will be
avoided
Two Glasses of Insects.
The insect pests of the garden may
ke roughly divided into two general
classes: those that chew or eat the
foliage of plants and those that suck
the plant juices.
The chewing class of pests is kill
ed by feeding them poisons: the suck
ing class by remedies which kill by
coming in contact with their bodies
and smothering or dissolving them.
Remember you cannot poison a
sucking insect because he sticks his
bill right through the poison into
the leaf or stem and sucks out the
Juice just as mosquito sucks
blood out OF your hand. Some of
these are the plant lice. or aphids. and
the true bugs like the squash bug.
These must be killed with contact
sprays like nicotine sulphate, kero-
sene emulsion. tobacco tea or spray
Ing soaps.
Fighting the Chewers.
The chewing insects are easiest to
recognize. since they eat the plants.
Most of these do eating as worms
rather than as mature insects. In the
mature stage they are beetles. moths
and butterflies. Some of these are
cabbage worms and potato beetles.
Kill these by spraying or dusting on
the plants such poisons as arsenate
of lead and Paris green.
Some of the chewing insects. like
the cutworms. are killed by poisoned
bait. The garden slugs are also kill
ed by poisoned bait

MEXICO CITY, Dec 26.-Extraor-
dinary powers in financial matters
have been extended to President Car
rama by the Chamber of Deputies.
This action was taken after the prest
dent had sent message to the cham
Der outlining the necessity for such
powers.
Under the new authority granted,
President Carranza is expected soon to
issue DEGREES removing until June 80,
1919, import duties on foodstuffs, arti-
cles of primary necessity to the coun-
try and on agricultural implements.
and irrigation machinery. 1t is expect
ed that duties on automobiles will be
removed for a period of three months.
CONSTITUTIONAL reforms have been
proposed by which the force OF several
sections of the constitution will be
mitigated. These refer principally to
sections governing the power of state
legislature to fix the maximum num-
Der of clergy participating in religious
rites and require that all members of
the clergy be, native born Mexicans.
Clauses dealing with the nationaliza.
ton Of church property would be
brought into agreement by anothe,
proposed amendment.
