The title of worlds champion arti-
fetal fly maker is proudly claimed for
Miss Alice Sherwin Coleman Of New
York. who for more than a decade has
been making flies for anglers. Some
idea Of her reputation among the dis
ciples Of Izaak Walton may be gath
cred from the fact that she n her
assistants make 100000 worth of flies
for fishing enthusiasts every year.
Miss Coleman makes 800 different
varieties Of flies regularly summer
and winter, special orders bringing the
number up to 1,5OO varieties altogether
for such is Miss Colelnan's reputation
that exacting fishermen in the wilds
of America sometimes catch strange
flies that hover over particular streams
and send them alive in q ventilated
bottle so that she may study and re-
produce them accurately.

Cultivation by This Method Does Not
Conserve Labor.

grass, Canada thistle and milkweed,
cannot be destroyed in this af-
ter they have become well established.
Injury to the stand Is averted by
slanting the teeth of the harrow back
ward about 80 degrees, although an
excessive slant is undesirable. When
a weeder is used the teeth directly
over the rows are often removed.
Either tool had best be used in the af-
ternoon or on a hot day. when the
plants are wilted and limp. The Pc
riod of greatest danger to the stand
is just as the plants are coming
through the ground. at which time
and for a few days thereafter, harrow
ing is inadvisable. A short trial will
demonstrate whether the injury is
greater than the saving. although M
should not lose courage too quickly.
Harrow These Crops.
Crops which can be narrowed sue
cessfully include corn, cotton, potatoes,
field beans and peas, sugar beets, sor-
ghum, cane, peanuts, Sudan grass, al
falfa, sweet clover, wheat, barley, oats
and rye. The grain crops are har-
rowed more to remove wild mustard
and other weeds than for the sake OF
cultivation. Special harrows are made
for broadcast alfalfa.
Tobacco, cabbage and other trans
planted crops. as well as young grass
and clover seedlings and most truck
crops, r too delicate for this method
Of ~cultivating.
Narrowing cannot be expected to
give good results unless the surface
soil Is in good filth. The object Of
narrowing is to maintain. not to make,
\ seed bed. For this reason the prac-
dee Is most popular on the lighter
types Of soil. as these are easily pre-
pared and worked. Very good results
are secured. however, on heavy clay
loan soils, and the practice Is rapidly
extending as the requirements become
more generally understood.
Stiff clay soils, wet soil and soil on
which a hard crust has formed should
not be narrowed, as the implements
must be weighted 50 heavily that they
will injure the crop.

FL. L. Kramer. the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered a sure,
safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can cat anything you like now
and digest it in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured if you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment it enters the stom-
ach. 1t immediately checks any ten
dency toward too much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
ton of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause a bloated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your

prepared by the United States Depart

Since fertilizers are used as food
for plants 1t will follow that plants,
and particularly certain parts Of
plants, may serve MS fertilizers for a
new crop. This fact has long been
recognized, and the wastes obtained In
the utilization Of all plant products
may therefore be disposed Of for fer
tilizer use. At one time a plant
waste known as cottonseed meal, OBJ
tanned in the manufacture Of cotton

source Of heterogeneous material used
In fertilizers. and the quantity still
used for this purpose Is In excess Of
100000 tons annually. Plant wastes
of this kind, together with certain AMI

Summing up, It may be stated that
Industrial wastes furnished about
40 per cent Of the potash, s per cent

The potash was obtained from such

quent, adulteratiOn by the use of large
quantities of seed Of other vetches and
similar plants has become a common
practice. Seed Of common vetch aver
age considerably larger than those of
hairy yetch. They are slightly fiat
tened, which prevents them from roll
ing readily. The surface is more or
less distinctly notified, the color of the
seed ranging from light brown to
green. In old seed the general color
is dark.
Seeds Of hairy vetch are small and
nearly spherical, the usual color rang
ing from gray to loaded black. New
seed may be somewhat brown or green.
A conclusive distinction between the
two kinds is seen in the seed scars
with the aid of a magnifier. The scars
of common vetch are narrowly wedge
shaped and have a slight ridge, while
the scar in the hairy. vetch is broad
and oval in shape and is often split
along the center. When one is ia
miliar with the appearance Of yetch
seed and a recognize 1t by means of
the scar as seen under a magnifier, the
detection of other seeds used in adul-
teration is not difficult.

prepared by the United States Depart

A farm practice not generally en-
ployed is the use Of the weeder or the
spike-tooth harrow instead of the usu-
al one-rOw cultivator in %cultivating
crops like corn, cotton and potatoes.
This practice does not involve buying
new implements. 1t means only q diff
ferent use of those already on many
farms, yet it reduces labor cost 40 per
cent and does the job in One-third the
time.
On well-prepared ground which is
free from stones, clods and trash, a
tWo-sectiOn harrow or a 12-foOt Weeder
can be used for all but the heaviest
%cultivating until the crops are 5 to 6
inches high. and will do the work
in one-third the time required by q
tWo-horse cultivator. BY using the
larger implements the cost of cultiva.
ton is reduced from 35 per cent to
about 20 per cent Of the cost of grow
ing the crop, besides releasing valu-
able farm labor for other work dur
ing the busy season. If desired, the
crops can be cultivated twice as often
during the first part of the season, in
which case there will be little hOeing
and c~ultivating to do during haying.
In either event the weeds are killed
wholesale in May, instead Of q row at
ut a time in June.

, Driving a weeder or even q harrow

crop plants are tough and heavily
rooted and are not damaged perma-

horses. A few plants are uprooted
and there is some tearing Of the
larger leaves, but this can be entirely
offset by seeding a little more heavily
than usual. Weeds, on the other hand,
are mostly shallow-rooted, and are
nearly all destroyed. However, the

CARRIER PIGEONS SAVED
FRENCH in BATTLE

With The French Armies, Sept. 10.
A carrier pigeon was one of the
heroes of the most striking episodes
of the battle of Verdun. During the
siege of the fort of Vaux Command
ant Raynal had no other means of
communicating with the exterior.
During the fierce fighting around the
Thiaumont farm, contradictory re-
ports reached the rear as to the oc-
cupation of the position. The carrier
pigeon was the only means by which
the officers is command could learn
the exact situation.
While the Germans were making
one of their strongest attacks, all the
telephone lines were destroyed and
the enemy's curtain fire made the
use of couriers impossible. Reinfor-
cements were required to hold posi-
ton with no means of communicate
ing with the rear until Lieutenant
Colonel Girardin sent several pigeons
back to the headquarters where they
arrived in twenty to twenty five minu-
ties and the reinforecents were promp-
ly sent up.
When the Germans made a violent
effort to take the position of Froid-
terre. Captain Dartiges, in command
there, was cut off from the rear. AT
nine o'clock in the morning he sent
pigeon back announced that the
enmey was within 500 yards of the
works. At ten o'clock he announced
by the same means that the posation
was surrounded by the enemy. At ele.
ven he informed the staff that the
sitution was critical but that the gar.
rison would fight to the last man.
Thus kept in touch with the situation
the staff was able to take steps that
resulted in the breaking of the line
around the position.

AN American destroyer with hcI'

is indeed a dangerous craft to mon

the enemy but to any other craft
with which she might collide in the
darkness, running without lights and

bombs loaded with its heavy charge

ed there would be little left of the de-

The deadly depth charge which is
proving to be the conclusive answer
to the submarine menace now is be-
ing released from every quarter of
the destroyer, Two of these big cy-
finders of high explosive can be drop
ped from the bridge by the pressure
of a button, midships Thronycroft
throwers drop a charge from either
side of the destroyer forming a bar

"Y-guns" are stationed amidships
with two barrels, each of which
throws a depth charge one to port
and the other to starboard. Finally
astern, there are two long. lines of
depth charges running on miniature
railway tracks, ready to be dropped
over the stern.
With all these depth bomb charges
ready to be let loose forward, aft

water barrage extends its protecting
sweep entirely around the fleet.
Great care is taken against any
collisions in the darkness which
would release the depth charges.
While the shock of collision would
not cause an explosion the depth
charge might destroy its own ship by
exploding when it reached the depth

no fatalities. This incident has given
warning of the extreme care needed
to guard against night collisions
